The world enters the age of myth

Chapter 44 Purchasing survival supplies

Watching the huge dog being transported away by the truck, the group returned to the security company.

It's summer now, and the weather is getting hotter. The highest temperature may reach 36 degrees Celsius. Lu Yiming wiped the sweat from his head and sighed: "The frequency of missions has increased significantly these days. In the past, it would not even happen in a month." There must have been a mission, but now it shows up twice in three days.”

"Although these two tasks were handled easily, if this continues, we might encounter something very dangerous at some point."

Zhong Peng also said: "What should we do then?"

"It may be an accidental phenomenon, but it may also be a precursor to an S-class disaster..."

Lu Yiming was reminding these two careless teammates that he had peeked at Professor Huang's internal reference information. Although there was only one month left, it was only an expert's expectation and not necessarily accurate, but it was also a good reference standard.

A month is worrying just thinking about it.

When talking about this topic, Jin Lili also became a little worried. She was not a fool. From the current clues, it could indeed be analyzed that the situation was becoming more and more tense.

"I heard that there are signs of frequent supernatural accidents in other cities, and there are even B-level disasters! Although I don't know yet whether the news is accurate, if the people over there can't handle it, it may implicate us, and the headquarters will definitely Put more people in."

After hearing the news, Lu Yiming swallowed, took out his mobile phone without hesitation, and turned to the page of Wuling Hongguang, a car he had long been optimistic about.

"So, I decided!"

"Are you going to buy a car...really this one?" Jin Lili glanced curiously.

Lu Yiming didn't even raise his head, and just checked the parameters above: "If the end of the world really comes, who cares if you have a sports car or a luxury car? Having a reliable car is the way to go, as long as it doesn't stall at the critical moment. And that's it." The chassis is high enough to drive on roads with bad road conditions. How could your sports car escape? The chassis got stuck quickly and you can’t even drive on the curb, right?"

"Hmm... It seems right." Jin Lili lowered her head and thought for a while, but she couldn't refute this reason.

"Buy one for me and let the dealer make it cheaper. I'll pay you later."

Zhong Peng put his head over it. For a person with social phobia, it was too difficult for him to buy a car by himself. The enthusiasm of the sales staff at the 4S store was simply mind-numbing.

Nowadays, buying things with others is king. As for the quality of the goods, it is not that important.

"It's easy to talk about. If you are a brother, then come with me to stock up on electronic products!" Seeing someone buying together to save money, Lu Yiming's mind immediately became active. He chuckled and said: "Now is a good time to make a big purchase. I have already thought about it a lot." Damn it. How about I stock up on mobile phones and you stock up on computers? Even if there is no Internet in the future, as long as human beings are not completely extinct, these things will definitely be used. Even if they are not good enough, they can be used as game consoles."

Lu Yiming once again used the same old theory. Although he is usually very lazy and doesn't have any big dreams, he still has some financial acumen.

The S-class disaster that may break out in the future is the biggest inside information.

Even in the end of the world, as long as there is a more qualified government, there will be a new monetary system. Moreover, since he has the mountain of Supernatural Research Institute at his back, he can be considered one of his own. No matter what, he will not be robbed by others, right?

"Now that there are suspicious signs, it's time to act."

"Why not hoard food?" Zhong Peng asked: "If a super disaster strikes, food and weapons are the most needed materials, right? These are the necessities of life! Without food, your computer is useless!"

Lu Yiming shook his head and said confidently: "The government must have prepared this kind of material related to survival. Is it our turn? Food preservation is not that easy. It requires a large cold storage and a dry and cool environment. , do we have these basic equipment? No."

"As for weapons...this is not something you can just hoard if you want. Where will we get the guns and ammunition? Don't even think about it if you can't afford it."

"So just hoard some light luxuries, which can improve life but are not necessary. As long as you are careful enough to hoard these things, your wealth will not be exposed and it will not cause too much hatred. In addition, we are backed by the research institute. No one will come to trouble us."

After being in contact with each other for such a period of time, the characters of these two teammates are quite passable.

Zhong Peng nodded and understood what Lu Yiming was thinking.

Jin Lili suddenly thought of a question and asked with a smile: "Your idea is understandable. But if the S-class disaster doesn't come within a few years, wouldn't your hoarding be in vain? Electronic products are updated and iterated very quickly. In a few years, you These things are worthless, and you can’t sell them even if you want to. Now, a full ten years have passed since the prophecy was made... All investments are risky. If you throw all your wealth away now, don’t cry when the time comes. Don’t come out.”

Lu Yiming laughed and said: "Isn't that better? It means that I can live such a leisurely life for a few more years... I wish that the S-class disaster never came! The life I have now is actually quite satisfactory, even if I spend money to buy it I feel safe and at ease. Am I happy to receive the vegetables with tears in my eyes? I don’t want to receive these vegetables!”

"Well...your statement...makes sense. Okay, let's do it together!" Jin Lili tilted her head and thought for a while, and was convinced.

As long as there is order in the apocalyptic world, there will naturally be transactions between people; if even order is lost, there is no point in hoarding anything, including electronic products or light luxury goods.

No matter what, this is a fairly reliable investment.

Since they were determined to do it, the three of them quickly took action and even jointly bought a large van to carry goods.

The three of them are all owners of ferry tickets and employees of the institute. According to the agreement, everyone has a parking space. This large truck occupied three parking spaces at once and can carry more supplies and cargo at the same time. That’s a lot more than three pickup trucks.

Jin Lili's parents are wealthy businessmen in Yunhai City. They have some connections and can get certain discounts when purchasing large quantities of materials.

Although the current society is a bit inflationary, it is generally relatively stable. As long as you have money, most supplies can be purchased easily.

Moreover, the three of them combined only have eight figures of funds. For the entire society, if such a small amount of money is invested, there will be no waves at all.

After a long day of shopping, the large truck was filled with a mess of goods, including various mobile phones, game consoles, laptops, graphics cards, CPUs and other electronic components, gold, silver, hardware, high-end liquor and high-end Clothing. There is also a small amount of food reserves, such as canned beef, purified water, instant noodles, etc., just in case there is really nothing to eat.

Of course, the brothers settled the accounts clearly. In order to avoid future property disputes, the ownership of various commodities was clearly divided. Everyone bought their own, but they were just temporarily stored in the same car. Then I installed several electronic surveillance cameras and equipped them with three locks, one for each person, so basically there would be no problem.

"This batch is yours, this batch is mine, and this batch is hers... basically no problem, right?"

Lu Yiming used a marker to write their names on all the cargo boxes.

"Everything is divided and finished!"

Jin Lili wiped the sweat from her face: "There is still a little space. Think about what else needs to be prepared. If everything is done, drive the car to the research institute and park it. This will be our small base in the future. , I hope it will never be used.”

Zhong Peng murmured to himself: "Buy some more snacks, and a game console...hey..."

Looking at the warehouse full of supplies, including some game consoles and various pirated game discs, Lu Yiming felt full of security.

What a sad thing it would be if in the future world we no longer had to play games or eat snacks... His current actions can be regarded as saving part of the earth's culture.
