Chapter 9 – Super warehouse

The gun situation was settled, and Zhang Yi felt a great sense of relief.

In the apocalypse, having this tool meant he could face both humans and non-humans with confidence.

The next day, Zhang Yi packed up some important items from home into his space.

He needed to turn his house into a safe house, so he temporarily moved into a hotel.

Early in the morning, three black vans drove into Yuelu Residential Area.

A group of workers from War Dragon Company, dressed in work clothes, got out and began taking measurements of Zhang Yi's house.

Many curious neighbors watched the scene unfold.

"Has Zhang Yi lost his mind? Why is he always up to such strange antics?"

A few colleagues joked, "Right? Just the other day at the supermarket, I saw him buying three carts full of food!"

"Ha! Anyone would think the apocalypse is coming, hoarding so much food. Won't it all go to waste if it expires?"

"Maybe he's got some mental issues!"

Everyone found Zhang Yi's unusual behavior incomprehensible, but no one really cared and just treated him as a joke.

Even Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining thought Zhang Yi had lost his mind.

Lin Caining had an epiphany, "Now I get it, no wonder he went to eat at the Michelin three-star restaurant that day. His brain must be broken!"

Fang Yuqing frowned, feeling particularly displeased.

Just thinking about how she had taken the initiative to talk to Zhang Yi that day, and even helped him push all those things home, leaving her feet sore, made her furious.

"What on earth is Zhang Yi up to?"

Lin Caining, however, expressed some concern, "He promised to treat us to a big meal, he hasn't forgotten, has he?"

She had been longing to dine at the Michelin three-star restaurant!

Fang Yuqing scoffed, "Forget it! Seeing how he's been acting lately, I wouldn't go even if he invited me."

"What if someone saw us eating with him? How embarrassing!"

She had plans to snag a wealthy husband and couldn't afford to ruin her reputation.

Hearing Fang Yuqing say this, Lin Caining, though reluctant, had no choice but to give up.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi didn't care at all what the neighbors thought.

In a month, they would see who the real joke was.

Zhang Yi left his house and drove to the Walmart warehouse.

It was Monday, time for work, and a good opportunity to scout the warehouse for later action.

The Walmart warehouse was located in the economic development zone, on the outskirts of Tianhai City.

Due to the cheaper land prices, it attracted many large corporate warehouses from Tianhai City.

Even some pharmaceutical companies had warehouses here.

This made it convenient for Zhang Yi to get his hands on some special medications later on.

After arriving at the Walmart warehouse, Zhang Yi clocked in for work as usual.

As the warehouse supervisor, he knew the place inside out.

He could recite the contents of every warehouse and every shelf.

Usually, he found the warehouse boring.

But today, looking at these huge warehouses and the goods worth tens and hundreds of billions, his heart was filled with unstoppable excitement.

Soon, all these things would be his, becoming the most important resources for his life in the apocalypse.

As Walmart's main warehouse in South China, the amount of goods here was beyond anyone's imagination.

Just the stockpile of cola alone numbered in the tens of thousands of cases!

The entire warehouse covered millions of square feet, packed full of various living supplies.

Besides food, clothing, and hardware tools, there were also cars, drones, diesel generators, and barrels of gasoline.

It was safe to say that anything the supermarket allowed to be sold could be found here.

Zhang Yi, having worked here for years, knew exactly what was on each shelf.

He was also very familiar with the shift schedules and camera positions.

Despite the tight security, he knew the system's loopholes well and could disable the entire surveillance system in ten minutes.

Then, using his spatial abilities, he could take everything here!

However, Zhang Yi wasn't in a rush to act.

There was plenty of time, and he didn't want to spook anyone.

After strolling around the warehouse, he left.

With a pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes in hand, he went to the neighboring Ruining Pharmaceutical Company's warehouse.

Since they worked in the same area, he was quite familiar with the staff there.

After arriving, Zhang Yi found their warehouse manager, Zhou Hairun.

Everyone knew each other's business in these large corporate warehouses.

Zhou Hairun, whose brother-in-law was the vice president of Ruining Group, often pilfered medicines from the warehouse to sell.

After finding Zhou Hairun, Zhang Yi chatted with him and indirectly revealed his intention to acquire several boxes of emergency medicines.

Zhou Hairun was initially cautious.

But when Zhang Yi offered to pay double the market price for the medicines, Zhou Hairun couldn't resist.

Eventually, they struck a deal for five large boxes of medicine at a price of three million.

For a normal person, this amount of medicine would be more than enough for a lifetime of illnesses.

Having secured the medicines, Zhang Yi had pretty much prepared all the resources he needed for the apocalypse.

With less than a month until the end, he had no mood to continue working.

So, he went to the warehouse manager's office and lied about a death in the family, requesting twenty days off.

Zhang Yi was well-liked and had a good relationship with the manager.

Although the leave was unusually long, it was granted without difficulty.

For the next while, Zhang Yi planned to comfortably lie low in a five-star hotel.

He would wait for his purchased supplies to arrive and for the safe house to be completed.

As he left the manager's office, he saw Fang Yuqing bending over, pouring coffee at the machine.

There was no denying that this woman had the makings of a temptress, with a natural allure.

Even pouring coffee, she didn't forget to sway her hips enticingly.

Sure enough, she attracted the attention of some young males eager to please.

One of them, grinning, invited Fang Yuqing to a Zhou Jielun concert, flaunting the tickets in his hand.

This man, named Zhou Peng, was familiar to Zhang Yi as they lived in the same residential area.

Moreover, he was Fang Yuqing's devoted simp, and in his past life, Zhou Peng had played a part in Zhang Yi's demise.
