By the time Luotian arrived at the warehouse, it was already past 7:00 p.m. There were hardly any people around anymore. Only a few warehouses still had several trucks coming and going, so her arrival did not attract much attention.
She parked the truck in front of the warehouse, took out her key, and opened the warehouse door.
Luotian had not expected the goods to arrive so quickly. Two-thirds of the 5,000-square-meter warehouse was already occupied.
She drove the truck inside, locked the warehouse door, took out a meal to fill her stomach, and then began collecting the goods.
The first thing was the shelving. She had ordered a full 1,000 shelves. She had not expected the workers to be so quick. All 1,000 shelves had already been assembled.
Perhaps they were worried there would be nowhere to put the goods, so many of the items she had purchased had already been placed directly on the shelves. This was incredibly convenient for her. She simply stored both the goods and the shelves directly into her Planting Space.
As for where everything should go and how it should be organized, she did not need to worry about that at all. Her adorable Qizai / 007 could handle everything.
More than half an hour later, the entire warehouse was empty. Everything had been stored inside Luotian’s Planting Space.
She drove the truck out of the warehouse and went to the hotel again. Dinner was already prepared, so she had the staff load everything into the truck.
She suddenly felt that coming three times a day to collect prepared meals was too troublesome. She decided to change her strategy immediately.
After returning home, she contacted the person in charge of the hotel and proposed a completely new arrangement.
There were currently twenty chefs working at the hotel. She divided them into different groups. Some would be responsible for breakfast, some for stir-fried dishes, and others for drinks and pastries.
She did not care whether anyone became suspicious. As long as it was convenient for her, that was all that mattered.
Everything prepared each day would be packed into biodegradable food containers and properly kept warm. She would come by once a day to collect everything.
This way, everyone would have an easier time.
The manager was suspicious after hearing her arrangement, but the boss’s word was law. Whatever the boss told them to do, they would do it. Besides, he thought it was quite nice that everyone could get off work earlier in the evening.
As for the Western restaurants, she called them directly as well. Their collection schedule was changed from twice a day to once a day, while the quantities remained the same.
On top of that, she added several more dishes and transferred another sum of money.
The managers of the restaurants were initially somewhat reluctant, but the moment they saw the amount of the transfer, they immediately agreed enthusiastically.
After taking care of everything, Luotian let out a long sigh of relief.
Now she would have more time during the day to do other things.
Why had she not thought of this earlier?
She really had a brain like a pig.
No wonder she could never become the female protagonist and could only be a female cannon fodder.
It seemed that she still had too little experience with the apocalypse. She needed to quickly make up for her lack of knowledge.
Forget it. She would not stockpile supplies tonight.
She would cram herself full of apocalypse knowledge instead.
She opened her phone, downloaded a free novel-reading app, and typed in the words “apocalypse.”
Immediately, countless novels about the apocalypse appeared.
She picked the one with the highest rating and started reading.
As she read, she took notes.
These authors were truly amazing. Every single one of them was a king of imagination.
The more she read, the more excited she became.
Before she knew it, it was already deep into the night. She had read more than a dozen, nearly twenty novels in one night.
Although she was quite tired, she had also gained a lot.
She summarized the following points:
This was extremely important. If she could not join them, she should stay far away from them. The protagonists’ halos really did exist.
If she could keep a low profile, she should keep a low profile.
There could never be too many supplies.
(But a certain lazy fish wanted to lie flat and do nothing. As for zero-cost shopping and all that, she would leave it to the male and female protagonists.)
The next day, Luotian was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
She looked at the name on the screen and realized it was the manager of the financial company.
It seemed that the arrangements she had made in M Country had already been completed.
Their efficiency was quite impressive.
She answered the call, and just as she had expected, in only a few days she had acquired two large supermarkets, two large pharmacies, and gas stations in M Country.
She had not sold the farms, ranches, and wineries she owned in M Country and A Country either.
She had already contacted the people in charge there and instructed them not to sell anything produced over the next three months. They would handle and store everything for her, and when the time came, she could simply go there and collect it herself.
Since she was already awake, Luotian simply got out of bed.
After breakfast, she drove to Banshan Villa District.
This house had been purchased by the original owner’s parents while they were still alive. All the happiest moments of the original owner’s life had been spent here.
The entire residential community was located on a hillside in S City. Originally, it had been built entirely with villas. Later, when the second phase was developed, high-rise buildings were added, but they were some distance away from the villa area.
Everyone who could live in the villa area was either wealthy or influential in S City.
The environment here was beautiful, and the entire villa district was lush and green. Since the whole villa community was situated halfway up the mountain, it would not be affected at all when the floods came.
According to the novel, this place would later be designated by S City as a survivor base.
Therefore, this was the best place for her to survive.
At present, there was only a butler and two servants living in the villa.
Ever since she had entered university, she only returned to stay here during the winter and summer holidays.
The butler had worked for their family for many years. When he saw Luotian return, he quickly opened the gate.
“Miss, you’re back!”
“Uncle Chen, have the people from the car dealership come?”
“They have. Miss, they drove away all your old cars. All the newly delivered vehicles have been placed in the garage.”
“Good. Uncle Chen, I have something to take care of first. I’ll talk to you about something later.”
“Of course, Miss.”
Luotian walked straight into her bedroom.
There was a walk-in closet inside, and within the closet was a huge safe.
Based on her memories, she entered the safe’s combination.
Soon, everything inside the safe was revealed.
There were many jewelry boxes, all containing extremely valuable jadeite, jade, jewelry, and other precious ornaments.
Some of these things had belonged to her grandmother and mother and were their personal belongings left behind after their deaths. Others belonged to Luotian herself.
The original owner’s parents had loved her dearly. Starting from the day she was born, they had given her a piece of jewelry every year on her birthday, continuing until the day they passed away.
Looking at the jewelry boxes, Luotian could not help feeling melancholy.
By now, the original owner should have reunited with her grandparents and parents, right?
There were also many gold bars in the safe.
Luotian planned to keep these for the time being.
Once the apocalypse began, money would eventually become nothing more than wastepaper, while gold could still be used in transactions.
There was also the property deed for the villa.
She stored all of these things in her Planting Space.
After putting everything from the safe into her Planting Space, she went straight to find the butler.
“Uncle Chen, I’ve decided to immigrate overseas. I probably won’t come back in the future, so I’ve decided to sell this villa as well.”
Although Uncle Chen was their butler and had worked here for many years, he was not alone. He had a son of his own.
It was just that after her grandparents passed away, Uncle Chen had been worried that she was a young girl without any relatives to rely on, so he had continued looking after the villa for her.
“Miss, is that really true?”
Uncle Chen was very surprised to hear the news, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not strange for his young mistress to immigrate.
After all, she no longer had any relatives here.
“Yes, Uncle Chen.”
“Living abroad is pretty good too. As it happens, I was planning to retire. My eldest son has been urging me for a long time. I was just about to talk to you about it!”
“Uncle Chen, please help me let the other two aunties go as well. As for their severance pay, give them a little extra. Life isn’t easy for anyone.”
“Of course, Miss!”
As for the apocalypse, Luotian planned to warn Uncle Chen a little later.
There were still six months before the apocalypse, after all, and there were no signs of it yet. Even if she warned him now, other people probably would not believe her.
She kept the address of Uncle Chen’s family. When the time came, she could also send a batch of supplies to them.
Uncle Chen’s hometown was very far away. Therefore, when he left, Luotian not only gave him one million yuan as his retirement fund, but also bought him a first-class plane ticket.
