Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1337 Doomsday Stockpiling 9
Linlang knew that as time went by, there would definitely be more and more thieves and the like, but as long as order could be maintained, it would be good enough. The most frightening thing was that order could not be maintained, which would be terrible.

By then, it will not be a matter of thieves, but people will form small groups one after another, and then fight each other just to grab the last few supplies.

If there is really nothing to eat, they might just snatch the food from the children.

Cannibalism was a common occurrence in ancient times of chaos, and this time would be no exception.

I hope that the world will not develop to this point this time, and I will not let the world develop to this point.

Of course, she would definitely not be able to stop petty thefts. After all, before the end of the world, this was something that could not be stopped.

Fortunately, Linlang has cultivated some internal strength now, and her body has become much stronger, so she is not afraid of encountering a thief. On the contrary, it is better for the thief not to encounter her, otherwise the end will definitely not be good.

However, the government has already said that people who are unable to work and have no money to pay for mortgages, car loans, social security, etc., do not have to pay for the time being.

Soon after, online loan companies also said that people without money could temporarily not repay their loans. Of course, they would not prohibit those who were willing to repay.

Linlang saw that, as expected, the online loan had temporarily stopped paying, and she couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that now she didn't have to worry about not being able to pay back nearly one million when the loan was due.

However, she still needs to save more money in the next two years. When she has more money, she will pay back part of it to reduce the pressure of paying interest. After all, if she can maintain the order of this world and prevent it from collapsing, then the money must be paid back.

Although the building where Linlang lived was not flooded because of its high terrain, some people were short of supplies and were looking for borrowing from others.

The reason was very simple. Although their building was not flooded and they could go out, there was water everywhere outside. They did not have a family speedboat and could not go to the supermarket to buy supplies.

Moreover, they do not have much money, and cannot afford to hire people who own family speedboats to buy supplies for them. Those who own family speedboats not only have to pay errand fees, but the supplies are also frighteningly expensive. The prices of many things are ten or even dozens of times higher than before. When asked, they are told that the prices of these things outside have gone up, and if they are not satisfied, they can ask others for help, etc. However, there are too few families who own family speedboats, and the price will not be low no matter who they ask to buy for them.

Many people suspect that people who own family speedboats have formed a group and formed a price alliance so that everyone can make a fortune from the disaster and not compete with each other, otherwise not everyone’s prices would be so high.

They just couldn't believe that such a short time had passed and the prices of supplies in the supermarket had risen to such a high level.

Some people may wonder why those large supermarkets don’t do city-wide distribution themselves. After all, supermarkets should have speedboats, so as long as they sell them a little cheaper than those who own family speedboats, they can make a lot of money.

The reason is very simple. The supermarket is unable to replenish stocks from other places for the time being. The local goods are selling in smaller quantities as they are sold. Therefore, the supermarket does not carry out city-wide distribution. Anyway, these things can be sold without city-wide distribution, so why bother doing it? It will cost a lot of manpower and resources.

To be honest, if the authorities had not prohibited supermarkets from closing, some supermarkets might not have opened. After all, the current situation is unclear, and many people wonder if this really is the end of the world. In this case, who among those who own supermarkets would be willing to sell their supplies? They would of course stockpile them and make a fortune in the future.

But because the country does not allow them to close the supermarket, they have no choice but to continue selling. Because the major supermarkets do not do their own distribution, those who have speedboats are still doing the purchasing on their behalf, and because these people ask for too high a price, some people have too little money to afford it, but they are short of supplies, so they can only borrow from people in the building.

Most people wouldn't lend it out. After all, if they just look at the weather forecast and see that it will still rain in the next forty days, no one would dare to lend it out, for fear that they wouldn't have enough to eat in the future.

Although they knew that most people would not lend them money, those who were in need of supplies still knocked on doors one by one to see if they could borrow some.

Naturally, it also knocked on Linlang's door.

Linlang had already investigated the situation of these people when they were asking for supplies in the group.

If they really had no money and no supplies, and were desperate to the point of starving to death, and they were not bad people, Linlang would not stand by and watch them die. But at this moment, the people were not desperate to the point of starving to death. After all, the government would send supplies every ten days, and if they ate sparingly, they could still hold on.

So these people came to borrow supplies, actually just because they didn't want to save food, so they wanted to get more supplies and eat more; some of them had money at home, but didn't want to spend money, so they wanted to try their luck and ask other people for some. They said they were borrowing, but in fact they wanted to take advantage of others. Unless they were facing life and death danger, Linlang would naturally not give them anything.

So when someone knocked on the door, Linlang pretended not to hear it and did not open the door.

As it turned out, the man was quite persistent and kept knocking.

That's right. Since they can't go out to work, they have plenty of time, so naturally they can keep harassing others.

Seeing that this person was ignorant and kept knocking, Linlang was frightened by the disturbing children, and also disturbed her peace, so she immediately took a crowbar to open the door and said coldly, "What are you doing?"

The person knocking on the door was an elderly woman, followed by a middle-aged man. They should be a mother and son. They probably wanted the old lady to say something nice first. Since nice words wouldn't work, the middle-aged man would look at what kind of person the other person was. If it was a woman like Linlang, he might threaten her.

Linlang guessed correctly. When the old lady asked to borrow supplies and Linlang said she didn't have any and was about to close the door, the middle-aged man was not afraid of the steel bar in Linlang's hand. After all, how could a thin woman like Linlang swing a crowbar? So he stepped forward and said with a shy smile: "Sister, don't be so ruthless. We are all in the same building. Isn't it normal for everyone to help each other? Lend us some supplies first, and we will return them to you when the higher-ups send them."

It sounds good, but it is actually impossible, because, under normal circumstances, the one who owes money is the boss, let alone at this time. If you borrow supplies from others, it will be extremely difficult to get them back, so no one is stupid enough to lend out supplies.

Linlang then said coldly: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I don't have any supplies. If you keep making noise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The middle-aged man did not leave, instead he said with a playful smile: "Oh? Why are you being rude to me, sister?"

He was ready to move forward and squeeze into Linlang's house, muttering that he wanted to see whether Linlang's family really had no supplies, or if they had some but were unwilling to lend them.
