Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Liu Ruoyan couldn't remember what time she had fallen asleep, but she reckoned that she must have slept for at least ten hours.

After washing up, Liu Ruoyan had originally planned to eat something before training.

However, just as she had taken out the bread, she remembered that she had promised Zhang Yuan to go to his place for dinner at around seven or eight o'clock.

Liu Ruoyan then put the slices of bread back into her space and went directly to the large bedroom. She took out all the exercise equipment and started training quietly.

After training for two hours, Liu Ruoyan went to the bathroom to take a shower and change her clothes.

Just as Liu Ruoyan came out of the bathroom and was still drying her hair, she heard a knock on the door.

Immediately after that, Zhang Yuan's voice came through.

"Liu Ruoyan, are you ready? I'm all set on my side."

"Yes, I'm coming!"

Liu Ruoyan said this and directly put the towel into her space. She ran her fingers through her hair and then opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, she saw Zhang Yuan smiling brightly.

Liu Ruoyan was a bit puzzled.

Why was he always so happy?

Liu Ruoyan closed the door of her own house and followed Zhang Yuan to his place.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Ruoyan was taken aback.

Had he already cleaned up the house just while she was asleep?

Wasn't this speed a bit too fast?

The originally messy living room had now been tidied up neatly.

The boxes were all placed against the wall, though the number was much smaller. They should have been put in other rooms.

At this moment, there was a small square table in the middle of the living room. On both sides of the table were two red wine boxes, with two cushions placed on top of them, which served as stools.

Not far from the square table, there was a standing fan. The standing fan wasn't very big, but when Liu Ruoyan sat down next to it, she found that the wind it blew was surprisingly strong and very cool.

Liu Ruoyan looked at the standing fan with some curiosity. She had seen all kinds of fans when she went shopping for supplies. Why hadn't she seen this kind before?

However, there was nothing strange about it. There were so many strange things in the world. It was normal that she hadn't seen this one.

At this time, the small square table was empty. Liu Ruoyan didn't know what Zhang Yuan was going to treat her to.

"Wait for me a moment. I'll go and get the food."

Zhang Yuan said this and walked towards the kitchen. Liu Ruoyan subconsciously looked in that direction.

When Zhang Yuan opened the kitchen, Liu Ruoyan was surprised to find that there was a double-door refrigerator placed by the window inside.

She hadn't seen this refrigerator when she was moving supplies with Zhang Yuan yesterday.

Zhang Yuan opened the refrigerator and took out a stainless steel plate from it.

Since Liu Ruoyan was sitting, she couldn't see what was on the plate, but she could smell the aroma of crayfish.

As Zhang Yuan placed the plate on the table, Liu Ruoyan could see clearly what was on the plate.

It was crayfish with noodles.

"Also, wait for me a moment again!"

Zhang Yuan quickly ran back to the kitchen. When he came back again, he was holding two cans of cola in his hands.

The cans of cola were emitting a cold mist. Just looking at them made one feel cool.

Zhang Yuan sat down opposite Liu Ruoyan and handed her a can of cola. "Here!"

Liu Ruoyan took the can of cola and opened it with one hand. With a "pop" sound, the cold air of the cola rushed out.

After taking a sip of the ice-cold cola, she felt cool from the inside out, and her mood improved.

Zhang Yuan also took a big sip and then went to get two sets of chopsticks and bowls. When he came back, he looked a bit embarrassed.

"It's my first time treating someone to dinner. I'm not well-prepared. Please don't mind!"

"Don't mind at all."

She had come to eat empty-handed and just needed to sit and wait to be served. It would be really unreasonable if she were to be picky.

Zhang Yuan served a bowl of noodles for each of them and put some more crayfish meat in Liu Ruoyan's bowl.

Liu Ruoyan could tell with just one bite that this should be the kind of instant-packaged crayfish, which was also a kind of fast food.

Before the apocalypse, people would be picky about such crayfish, saying that they weren't as delicious as the fresh ones.

However, after the apocalypse, it was quite a difficult thing to be able to eat such crayfish.

Liu Ruoyan had also stocked up a lot of such bagged crayfish meat.

She just didn't know where Zhang Yuan had got it from. It should be quite difficult to get.

Just as Liu Ruoyan was thinking about this, she heard Zhang Yuan speak.

"I sold some weapons to the base. The base gave me quite a lot of contribution points, and this house was also registered under my name.

The refrigerator and the crayfish were what I asked for yesterday, and the base just delivered them to me."

Hearing this, Liu Ruoyan paused while eating the noodles.

She had killed ten bald men and taken their supplies to earn enough for three years' rent.

Zhang Yuan sold some weapons to the base and directly got a house, plus additional contribution points.

Since Zhang Yuan used the phrase "quite a lot", it must really be a large amount.

Not to mention, there were also the refrigerator and the crayfish.

Zhang Yuan only mentioned the refrigerator and the crayfish, but Liu Ruoyan didn't really think that there were only these.

There must be something else!

So... what kind of weapons did Zhang Yuan sell to the base?

It shouldn't be the ones he had laid out before.

Those cold weapons like swords and knives were good things, but they were definitely not worth this price.

Liu Ruoyan looked at Zhang Yuan with eager eyes, and she was extremely curious in her heart.

However, the two of them weren't that familiar yet, so it was really not appropriate to ask.

Liu Ruoyan could only nod to indicate that she had heard Zhang Yuan's words, and then she silently lowered her head to continue eating.

Just at this moment, Zhang Yuan's voice came into Liu Ruoyan's ears again.

"Actually, I'm a weapons merchant. The base wanted to invite me to work for them, but I refused. I'm used to being free and don't like being restricted.

The base took a step back and only said that they would ask me to come and help when needed, and the remuneration would be calculated separately.

It was quite a good deal, so I agreed."

"Weapons merchant?"

Liu Ruoyan softly repeated these four words, her tone full of confusion.

Was there such a profession before the apocalypse?

Or rather, did our country have such a profession?

When her eyes fell on Zhang Yuan's silver hair, Liu Ruoyan was relieved.

Zhang Yuan should be of mixed blood, right?

She just didn't know which country he was mixed with.

Perhaps the country where his other half of the blood came from had the profession of a weapons merchant.

Since the end of the world could come, it wasn't strange that other countries had such a profession.

Liu Ruoyan nodded again to indicate that she had understood.

Zhang Yuan stopped eating the noodles, leaned over, and looked straight at Liu Ruoyan. "Do you want any weapons?"

Seeing Zhang Yuan suddenly lean over, Liu Ruoyan thought he was going to do something and immediately became on guard.

However, after hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Liu Ruoyan also leaned over. "What kind of weapons?"

Since the base had spent a lot of money on them, they must be good things!

If she could buy them, that would be a great thing.

Zhang Yuan gave a bright smile and sat up straight again. "Eat quickly! I'll show them to you after you finish eating!

But this time, I won't accept cash!"

"Of course." Liu Ruoyan smiled gently. "I don't have any cash either."
