Rice is a bit more expensive. Because the purchase volume is large enough, it costs about 2.5 yuan per kilogram and 5,000 yuan per ton.

Li Mu purchased 300,000 tons of rice in one go, spending approximately 1.5 billion yuan.

Soybeans, priced similarly to rice, were also purchased by Li Mu in one go, costing around 500 million yuan.

There are also some grains and cereals.

For example, Li Mu spent 200 million yuan to purchase 30,000 tons of mung beans in one go.

In addition, 20,000 tons of barley, 20,000 tons of oats, 5,000 tons of lotus seeds, 3,000 tons of lilies, 10,000 tons of dried dates, 10,000 tons of sesame seeds, 50,000 tons of peanuts, 10,000 tons of corn, and 10,000 tons of chestnuts were purchased.

These supplies, like wheat, are all procured primarily from overseas sources. If overseas procurement is not timely, they are supplemented by procurement from coastal areas.

……

In addition, there are canned goods. Last time, the total purchase of canned meat, canned vegetables, and canned fruit amounted to 100,000 tons, which was an absolutely shocking amount.

But, it's the end times! The more supplies the better. If they get flooded and wasted, it's better for him to buy them and store them.

This time, Li Mu procured 50,000 tons of canned fruit, 20,000 tons of canned meat, and 30,000 tons of canned vegetables, totaling 100,000 tons, the same as last time.

Not only canned goods, but also other foods with long shelf lives, such as smoked meat, bacon, ham, and vacuum-packed vegetables, were purchased, totaling nearly 10,000 tons.

Li Mu had already purchased a large quantity of cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea last time, and he purchased quite a lot again this time.

The sugar comes in three tons, including white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, and some special milk candies and fruit candies.

We also purchased a considerable amount of alcohol.

They specifically choose ordinary liquor brands with guaranteed quality and decades of brand history. A case of these liquors costs only around a hundred yuan, or at most a few hundred yuan.

Wine doesn't spoil easily, and it will become increasingly scarce in the future, so there's no harm in stocking up.

To this end, Li Mu spent 500 million yuan to stockpile 3 million cases of ordinary domestic liquor, with each case costing only 100 to 200 yuan on average.

Not only liquor, but beer is even cheaper, especially some common brands, which are cheaper than soft drinks. A case costs anywhere from twenty to thirty or forty yuan, with twelve bottles in each case – a very generous portion.

However, beer also has its drawbacks. Unlike spirits, which have no expiration date, beer does have a shelf life, although it is longer than that of ordinary beverages.

However, Li Mu still spent 100 million to purchase about four million cases of beer, enough to drink until the end of time.

There's also red wine. Last time, Li Mu picked out a case of red wine that cost tens or hundreds of yuan each. He didn't even spend 100 million yuan, but he still bought a million cases.

Red wine has one advantage over white wine: it doesn't spoil easily, and sometimes the longer it's stored, the better it tastes.

This time, Li Mu again chose those red wines that cost tens or hundreds of yuan per case. He spent 300 million yuan to purchase nearly five million cases of red wine.

Although the taste is different from that of red wines costing thousands or tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, it is hard to say whether red wine can continue to be produced in the future high-temperature apocalypse, and even if there is production, it will not be much.

At times like these, having red wine to drink is a blessing; who cares about the taste?

Regarding tea, Li Mu had already purchased a batch of high-end tea worth tens of millions of yuan last time, as well as a thousand tons of tea bricks.

This time, high-grade tea was no longer needed. Li Mu purchased another four thousand tons of tea bricks, one batch from overseas and another from coastal areas.

There are also non-staple foods. Last time, Li Mu purchased 5,000 tons of candy, pastries, biscuits... If stored properly, these things will have a long shelf life. Li Mu purchased another 5,000 tons; it's never a bad thing to have more.

Last time, Li Mu ordered a lot of various dairy products, including pure milk and cow's milk, and this time he ordered more than a thousand tons again.

Not only dairy drinks, but also milk powder, soy milk, oatmeal, etc. Li Mu also ordered more than 10,000 tons. Compared with dairy drinks, these have a longer shelf life and are more suitable for storage.

Last time, Li Mu ordered hundreds of thousands of beverages and 300,000 bottles of mineral water as spares and daily necessities.

This time, the order was placed on a larger scale than the last time.

500,000 cases of Sprite, 500,000 cases of Coca-Cola, 200,000 cases of Fanta, 200,000 cases of green tea, 150,000 cases of black tea, 100,000 cases of Red Bull, 100,000 cases of Wanglaoji herbal tea…

These may seem like a lot, but they're not actually worth much money; all together they're not even worth a hundred million.

As for bottled water, the price was even cheaper due to bulk wholesale purchases. Additionally, bottled water has a longer shelf life, and it's still drinkable even after the expiration date. Li Mu purchased five million cases of bottled water in one go, spending less than one hundred million.

As for water and beverages, that should be enough. After all, a water pump has been installed in the basement of the Muwu Building, so there's no need to worry about water outages in the future.

Regarding medicines and medical devices, a large quantity was purchased last time, totaling medical supplies worth over 100 million yuan.

These days, the company has hired some professional doctors, and with their advice, Li Mu has purchased tens of millions of yuan worth of medical supplies and equipment.

Furthermore, a space of over a thousand square meters has been specially set aside in the Muwu Building to serve as a temporary small hospital, where, in the future, it can treat all kinds of illnesses except for some serious diseases.

In terms of energy, besides photovoltaic solar energy, Li Mu also used many connections to procure about 5,000 tons of gasoline. For gasoline, a dangerous commodity, 5,000 tons is more than enough; any more might have caused real trouble.

Diesel fuel, on the other hand, is less dangerous and is not classified as a hazardous material, so it can be stored and sold in large quantities.

This time, Li Mu purchased 100,000 tons of diesel oil in one go. With such a large quantity, even if the diesel oil were left to spoil, it would probably not be used up.

However, it's always good to have more on hand; it's better to be prepared. If the situation improves in the future, we can release a batch to the market.

In addition to these, a large quantity of natural gas and gas cylinders for cooking were also stockpiled this time, which can be distributed to the company's employees in the future.

To prevent any accidents, a large quantity of coal briquettes and charcoal was ordered again, bringing the total to over three thousand tons.

With so many orders, Li Mu's wallet was immediately emptied. The more than 7 billion yuan he had just acquired was now reduced to only 700 or 800 million yuan.

Thus, the large-scale procurement was finally over, but he dared not touch the remaining funds, as the final payment for the project and the employees' salaries were all tied up there.

As batches of supplies arrived and were delivered to the warehouse, the weather grew increasingly hot, and all sorts of things were said online, with even more doomsday predictions.

Li Mu could only speed up the delivery of the orders. To ensure the safety of these supplies, he also dispatched a group of security guards he had just recruited.

Recruitment has been booming lately, mainly because the offers are so high. This is especially true for the security industry, where salaries are already low; when have you ever seen a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, plus 18 months' pay a year, six types of insurance and one housing fund, and a month of paid leave annually?

Despite the strict recruitment requirements, which stipulated that all applicants must be veterans, the job still attracted considerable attention, with many people with military experience flocking to apply. After all, not everyone can find a good job.

Through a series of tests and due diligence, approximately 360 security personnel were selected from thousands of applicants.

These 360 ​​security personnel are all veterans with more than three years of military service experience. They have no criminal record, are not extreme in personality, and are not easily irritable or angered.

After a few days of basic training and integration, the 360 ​​security personnel were divided into 36 teams, each with 10 members: a team leader, a deputy team leader, and 8 team members.

Of these thirty-six squads, three were left behind to maintain order at the Muwu Building, while the remaining thirty-three were dispatched by Li Mu.

Three teams were assigned to guard the unfinished building and monitor its condition and progress.

The other thirty squads were all dispersed and assigned to various warehouses to guard the warehouse gates and supervise the protection of the supplies.

In the near future, based on their performance, Li Mu will establish some companies and battalions within the squads, following the military organization: three squads to one company, three companies to one battalion.

There are a total of 36 squads, which can roughly form four security brigades. As long as order does not collapse, they should be able to maintain the situation.

Time flies, and by late January, all the purchased supplies had been stored in the warehouse.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. A few days ago, he was worried that the country would restrict the purchase of supplies, so he did not issue any warnings about the high-temperature apocalypse. Now he finally had no worries.

Sitting quietly in the villa, I watched the scorching sun outside, the heat waves baking the earth. Lately, the weather has been getting increasingly hot. On several days, the temperature even exceeded forty degrees Celsius, reaching a high of forty-three degrees.

After a rain shower, the high temperature dropped a little, but now, just a few days later, the temperature has risen again, and today it's probably reached 40 degrees Celsius.

January in the Gregorian calendar is supposed to be the coldest time of winter, but it's actually hotter than summer now, just like the saying online about the seasons being reversed.

But the truth is an apocalyptic world of extreme heat, even more terrifying than the reversal of the four seasons.

Li Mu fiddled with his laptop for a while, looking at the news and posts online. The prolonged high temperatures, especially in the dead of winter when the temperature was even hotter than in summer, had made many people realize that something was wrong.

In fact, many wealthy families and even middle-class individuals are also undertaking home insulation upgrades and stockpiling supplies. They probably sensed something was amiss and took preventative measures in advance.

However, these actions pale in comparison to Li Mu's.

Online discussions about extreme weather have intensified, with all sorts of experts emerging to publish various theories and studies in search of the causes.

Many people have also started to directly promote apocalyptic theories, attracting a great deal of attention.

While most people don't believe the apocalyptic theories, the continued high temperatures are indeed worrying.

In particular, this heatwave isn't localized; it's global. It's said that sea levels have risen somewhat during this period, but it's unclear whether that's true or not.

However, many people in coastal areas have indeed developed some concerns: what if sea levels continue to rise?

After browsing the news for a while, Li Mu officially began his operation.

When he first came into this world, he discovered three common operating system vulnerabilities and a dozen minor ones. He sold two of the common vulnerabilities and used five or six minor ones to create a small program.

We currently have one general vulnerability and seven or eight minor vulnerabilities.

Using these operating system vulnerabilities, Li Mu, after a period of refinement, created a super program. It could split at an extremely rapid pace, silently infiltrating every computer. With current cybersecurity companies, it would take at least a week to crack this super program; they would be left helpless.

A month ago, Li Mu began writing a warning document based on the information he had gathered, trying his best to warn of the impending high-temperature apocalypse.

After multiple revisions and research, the warning content became increasingly authentic and credible.

Now, I can finally use it.

He picked up the teapot next to him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Mu embedded the warning information he wrote into this super program. As long as the computer is hacked by this super program, the computer will display this warning article every hour for the next week.

Although it will certainly cause inconvenience to some people's work and may even cause panic, Li Mu would rather everyone be panicked and make plans in advance than be caught unprepared for a high-temperature apocalypse.

Subsequently, Li Mu spent several hours quietly spreading this super program across major internet platforms and websites. As long as you use a computer, you will soon be infected.

After finishing all this, Li Mu closed his laptop, went to the small bar in the villa, asked Liu Yue to pour him a glass of wine, and slowly drank it.

I wonder how everyone will react tomorrow?

The next morning, the weather was scorching hot. Li Mu ran five kilometers outside and was soaked in sweat.
