Chapter 8
Weapons
Du Yue had chosen simple and durable body-fitting undergarments, and she had bought thousands of sets of each. Du Yue also ordered a few hundred pairs of all kinds of rain boots, travel shoes, hiking shoes, snow boots, as well as slippers and canvas shoes for summer.
As for the high heels that she often wore before the apocalypse, she did not buy a single pair. Although high heels were beautiful, they were useless for survival. Besides, beauty was also a dangerous thing in the apocalyptic world. Naturally, the less one stood out, the safer one would be.
There were also various beddings, pillows, blankets, bed sheets, blanket covers, and blankets. Du Yue ordered 50 sets of each type.
For the rest of the day, Du Yue repeated her routine from the previous two days. She either went out to make all kinds of big purchases, or waited at the entrance of the warehouse to receive her ordered goods.
All kinds of insect repellents, cockroach traps, rat poisons, anti-itching creams, and heat creams were purchased directly from the manufacturers. Not only were the prices favorable, but doing so would also not arouse suspicion.
After all, the manufacturers turned over tens of thousands of goods every day, so they would not check every customer. Furthermore, the factory’s staff would not care about what she used these things for, as long as they received their money.
After this, she still needed to purchase vital medical supplies as soon as possible. However, if she bought it from the pharmacy, supplies were limited, and she would also arouse suspicion. Du Yue pondered on this matter for a long time before finally remembering one of her parents’ good friends, who was the chairman of a pharmaceutical company. He would naturally have access to a large amount of medical supplies.
Du Yue quickly contacted the him with her request. She wanted to buy some common over-the-counter medicines, such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, cough medicine, fever medicine, as well as laxatives and pain-relieving medicine.
There were also some disinfectants such as alcohol, iodine, saline, disinfectant, gauze, bandages, and band-aids, as well as various plasters and sprays for external injuries.
Although there were not many types, Du Yue asked for a large amount of each. The other party was a little confused and asked her what she was buying so much medicine for.
Du Yue had already thought of an excuse before contacting him. Du Yue said that she wanted to donate these medical supplies to some schools in remote areas to show them some kindness. When the other party heard this, he agreed without hesitation.
Du Yue did not lie to him. After receiving the medicine, she would indeed donate a small portion of it. The remaining portion would be enough for her future needs.
Since this person was a friend of her parents, and also helped her so much, Du Yue sent him a lot of food and drinks anonymously.
As for the fact that the apocalypse was coming, or that she had already experienced the apocalypse once, Du Yue planned to keep these two things to herself from now on.
She had already died once. Now that the heavens had given her another chance, she did not dare to take any risks with it.
After purchasing all of the medical supplies, Du Yue stored all of the goods that had arrived recently into her storage space. When she was done with the last batch of goods, she locked the warehouse door and drove off to another place.
She used all sorts of connections to inquire about weapons for a long time before finally receiving some useful information.
Some ancient military enthusiasts had opened a private museum of cold weapons in the local area. On the surface, these collectibles were only for exhibition, but they would also sell real weapons in private.
Du Yue went to the museum and talked to the person-in-charge. She bought two Tang sabers, a long dagger, as well as a short dagger.
Du Yue had spent nearly three million on these four weapons, but she felt that it was worth it. Three million was not a lot to her. As long as she obtained suitable weapons in return, the expenditure was worth it.
It was already 1st July when she bought the weapons. Two months remained until the advent of the apocalypse.
After Du Yue had collected the cooked food she had ordered from the various restaurants, she rented a large truck and drove over to the suburbs.
She had bought all the necessary food, but the vegetables and fruits that could provide various vitamins and minerals were also very important. Du Yue planned to drive the truck directly to the farms and orchards in the suburbs and buy these supplies directly from the farmers to ensure that she obtained the freshest produce.
There was also a variety of meat that Du Yue planned to buy from the slaughterhouse. Livestock and poultry that were killed on the spot would be the freshest.
In addition to these, Du Yue made another trip to the stores and bought all sorts of canned meat, fish, and fruit.
Shee also bought a lot of fresh tofu, dried tofu, fried tofu, and tender tofu.
