Chapter 4 Crazy Purchasing
After the summer vacation has no concept of the week, after driving to the city, Xu Wanhu found that today turned out to be Saturday, the traffic situation in the urban area is much better than expected, in the morning of the hot day except for the old man and the old lady who exercise early, few people will come out to hang out.
Before 7:40, Xu Wanhu opened to the small commodity market, which is the busiest time on weekends. The morning market opened at 4 o'clock, and it was mainly filled with clothing merchants, and the protective gear and weapons collection stores he was going to would not open until after 8 o'clock. Xu Wanhu had no choice but to wander around and buy some other things on the purchase list first.
First of all, medicine, Xu Wanhu's own daily reserves have commonly used cold medicines and gastrointestinal medicines, and to survive in the last days, whether it is the type or quantity, this medicine is far from enough.
In addition to buying a car, Xu Wanhu has saved 120,000 yuan in the past two years, and he decided to use 50,000 of them to buy medicine. Don't look at the small amount of pills, according to the price, this is the most expensive thing, the price of a box of medicine is on top of several boxes of compressed biscuits, let go of the purchase, 120,000 can't buy much.
In the last days, food can always be reproduced, and industrial products such as modern medicines, which are strongly dependent on the industrial chain, are almost impossible to have.
Hospital pharmacies are open 24 hours a day, and pharmacies in other communities are open at 8 o'clock. However, buying drugs is more sensitive, and few customers will buy drugs in large quantities like wholesale. In particular, some cold medicines can be extracted from buying too much, and regular pharmacies are limited in supply or require prescriptions to be purchased.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Xu Wanhu went around several streets and bought medicine at more than a dozen different pharmacies. Despite this, the amount allocated to a store is still a bit large, Xu Wanhu explained that he was going to Tibetan areas, and he had to buy some more commonly used medicines to prepare, but people had to sell Xu Wanhu drugs that he didn't need, as well as some inexplicable health products. In order not to arouse suspicion, Xu Wanhu also bought some of the things he was selling.
However, antibiotics require a prescription, and regular pharmacies will not sell them in large quantities under any circumstances.
Fortunately, there are many private clinics in the streets, and Xu Wanhu found a few clinics, gave the doctors a few packs of cigarettes, stuffed some money, and still bought antibiotics and other prescription drugs without much effort on the pretext of going to Tibetan areas.
In addition to emergency standing medicines, Xu Wanhu also focused on the purchase of trauma medicines, chronic disease medicines, and health care drugs.
In the last days, the deterioration of sanitary conditions and the improper handling of broken skins can lead to fatal diseases. Especially when there are so many zombies in the dream, if there is an external injury exposed to the air, it will be directly GG if it is contaminated with the zombie virus. Thinking of this, Xu Wanhu not only bought internal and external medicines, but also purchased trauma treatment equipment, bandages and other trauma treatment supplies.
Chronic disease drugs are mainly hypertension and diabetes drugs, because my mother has high blood pressure and my grandmother has diabetes, and Xu Wanhu bought these mainly for them. Although he had asked his father to buy more to prepare, he thought that his father might not be as desperate as he was to focus on hoarding medicines, so he still decided to prepare more for himself, so that he could still use it in his hometown. He swept almost every pharmacy with these two types of medicines, hoarding a person's supply for 10 years. Considering the shelf life of the drug, he can only stop in moderation.
Of course, health care drugs are not brain X gold, but body element supplements such as vitamins, calcium tablets, and trace element tablets. Most of the food in Xu Wanhu's car is boxes of compressed biscuits and energy bars, which are nutritious but nutritionally unbalanced, although they are full of calories. It is not easy to save fruits and vegetables when you buy them, and these small pills have become a supplement to the essential elements of the human body. Buying more health care drugs can also reduce the suspicion of pharmacies and make the purchase process smoother.
It took more time to buy medicine than expected, and it was already past ten o'clock when I returned to the small commodity market, and there was a lot of noise around me, and it was the peak of the transaction. The focus of his trip is that he has wandered around the market with his classmates when he was a student, and he still has an impression of the location of the protective gear store, otherwise he doesn't know where to go to attack and defend props now.
Xu Wanhu originally had no concept of protective gear, but under the introduction of the clerk, he almost picked the best of all the things that could be used. The final purchase list includes stab-proof suits, stab-proof vests, anti-riot helmets, explosion-proof shields, gas masks, etc., and at least two sets of large protective gear are prepared, while protective gear such as gas masks that are easy to store are purchased in boxes. The purchase of these protective gear cost more than 20,000 yuan in total.
Because it is a civilian item, products such as stab-proof clothing are definitely far inferior to military and police supplies, no matter how much the clerk blows, he can't believe that he can get through the sea of fire with these things. But the single combat effectiveness of ordinary zombies is not high, and the main threat of zombies is tetanus infection, with such protection, at least there is no need to worry about being accidentally scratched and infected when killing zombies.
Once you've bought your protective gear, you'll need to buy some self-defense weapons, and the only three sword stores in the market are right next to the armor store, and the antique armor shop around the corner is just around the corner. Passing by the armor shop, Xu Wanhu also turned in to take a look, the kind of papier-mâché armor used in acting is naturally useless, and the set of simulated armor placed by the boss is very strong, but after wearing this more than 20 kilograms of iron sheet, Xu Wanhu even had difficulty walking, so he had to give up.
The sword collection itself is a niche item, and it involves national conditions, and there are very few merchants who are qualified to sell it.
The weapons used by people in society have special purchase channels, and it is not something that a foreigner like Xu Wanhu who is innocent can know, so he has no choice but to ask for the second.
The three next signboards are "Longquan Sword", "Tang Dao House", and "Village House".
Don't look at the three stores with completely different styles in the name, the decorations and goods inside also have their own characteristics, in fact, the owners behind the three stores are from Longquan.
Longquan this place is rich in swords since ancient times, after the reform and opening up, Longquan sword was crowned as a national intangible cultural heritage, to be able to wander on the edge of the law of "controlled knives", since then embarked on the fast track of market economy, the descendants of knife craftsmen rely on this business to make a lot of money.
For the last days of Xu Wanhu's dream, the self-defense value of these unedged sword crafts is very limited, and it is better to buy this kind of art as a close-quarters weapon.
However, Xu Wanhu still bought a 500 yuan so-called manganese steel Tang knife in the store, no matter whether he opened it or not, he couldn't bluff zombies when he wore it, so wouldn't it still be able to bluff people?
If you don't pull it out, who knows if this knife is a real guy, as long as the posture is good and there is a Tang knife on your body, it can scare off many predators in the last days.
In the last days, the human heart is more terrible than a monster.
The purpose of Xu Wanhu's visit to the sword collection store was not this kind of handicraft knife with little practical significance, but other weapons.
After searching in the store, he gained a lot and bought two compound bows with a unit price of 1,000 yuan, two detachable stainless steel body martial arts guns, and four white rod martial arts sticks. The compound bow is used for long-range attacks, the martial arts gun is used for close-range attacks, and the martial arts stick can be used both as a backup for the body of the gun and for killing enemies. As for melee weapons, in addition to considering baseball bats, Xu Wanhu also bought a few knives in the store that were not controlled knives.
The gun head was not sharpened, and Xu Wanhu was going to take it to Xia Fan's shop in the afternoon and roughly polish it with tools.
Xu Wanhu had no experience in archery, and under the guidance of the clerk, he quickly learned how to open a bow.
There is no environment to practice archery in the store, and Xu Wanhu does not expect to become a Jebe or Yoyuki all at once, and bringing an extra long-range weapon to defend himself is more meaningful.
In addition to the two compound bows, Xu Wanhu also took all the arrows in the store, with a total of more than 200. Let the clerk pack it together and send it to the car.
As for the crossbow, which is a controlled weapon, it is too lethal to be sold in the formal market. In such a short period of time, Xu Wanhu couldn't find a way to buy it, so he had to give up and choose the compound bow instead.
On the other hand, he didn't want to leave traces of violating the law, the car was so full of too dazzling eyes, it was easy to be stopped by the traffic police to check the car, in case he saw something that shouldn't be there, he couldn't tell how clearly, not only did he not escape, but he was also imprisoned in the detention center, which was not on the contrary, he was pitted himself. And if the end of the world does not come, you will have to live a good life in the future, leaving a stain, and finally it will be an unstable factor in your future life.
After leaving the sword collection store, Xu Wanhu went to buy baseball bats, solar chargers, hand-cranked generators, simple electric generators, field water purification equipment and other things. At the end of the procurement, there were still more than 60,000 yuan left in her hand, and the material cost of the modified car had been paid to Xia Fan 20,000 yuan before, and the other expenses were collected by her. Regardless of whether the last days come or not, the money that should be given still has to be given to others, and there is no reason to owe it first.
Xia Fan probably has to make up more than 10,000 yuan, and Xu Wanhu plans to keep the rest of the money, in case the end of the world does not come, he has to leave some money to continue to operate his convenience store.
In fact, in addition to the cost of car modifications, most of the things he bought are still worth using even if the apocalypse does not happen. For example, compound bows and Tang knives have not been sold in the store before, but it doesn't mean that they can't be sold, and they can be sold to students at a higher price in the store. Drugs and the like are more difficult to get rid of, and he is not qualified to sell drugs, so he can keep them at home and use them slowly.
After the big purchase was over, after eating a bowl of beef noodles at a small noodle restaurant at noon, Xu Wanhu drove to the west of the city.
