Chapter 5 Stockpiling Supplies

Instead of going to the supermarket, Du Fei went to a large wholesale market nearby.

Du Fei found a boss surnamed Xu in the wholesale market and asked a few questions: "I want to buy a batch of rice, but I didn't come by car, do you have this package for delivery?" ”

"The transaction volume is more than three thousand, and our company offers free shipping." Boss Xu, who has a big belly, insists on calling his wholesale store a company.

"Can I swipe my card? It's a credit card. Du Fei asked again.

"As long as you can swipe out the money, it doesn't matter what card you have."

"Well, this kind of rice, a hundred catties, I want twenty bags. There is also the kind of bagged meat, as long as the shelf life is more than eight months, I want a batch. Du Fei grabbed a handful of rice, looked at it and said.

When Boss Xu heard that he wanted a ton of rice, the rice alone would cost 4,000 yuan. Without further ado, beckoning the guy to drive over a pickup truck to prepare for loading.

Du Fei looked around again, this wholesale store is quite rich in things, and even wholesaled eggs, in fact, Du Fei really wanted to buy a batch of eggs, and a few months after the end of the world, let alone eggs, he couldn't even find chicken feathers. It's just that eggs are too easy to spoil, and if they are left for a month, they will become rotten eggs, and the whole house will stink to death.

I took another turn and saw a bag of eggs in a large box. Du Fei picked it up and saw that it was a secret braised egg, and when he saw that the shelf life was 12 months, he was interested. I called the boss over and asked about the price, and finally asked for ten boxes of this kind of boiled eggs, one hundred in a box.

In the end, I asked for a total of one ton of rice, which was enough to eat for six years if I ate it alone. In addition to rice, there are ten boxes of braised eggs, and more than a dozen boxes of bagged meat, mainly beef, and some bagged duck and chicken wings with sauce. Together, these things cost a total of more than 8,000 yuan, and almost wiped out all three credit cards. Watching the guy load everything into the pickup truck, and then return to the neighborhood with the car.

This complex was built a few years ago, and the floors are not high, so there is no elevator. It's just that Du Fei's rented house is on the seventh floor, and even if the guys who came with him have carrying tools, they are also complaining. Du Fei didn't want to go, so he gave each of them a red envelope before they could finish moving their things.

A ton of rice, ten boxes of braised eggs, ten boxes of bagged meat, and a few bits and bits fill a room.

Sending off the two delivery guys, Du Fei went to the warehouse supermarket again and bought ten pieces of mineral water, a few boxes of instant noodles and compressed biscuits, as well as high-calorie candy, of course, some essential materials for survival such as salt and vitamins are also to be stored, and he also bought a lot of antiseptic, moisture-proof, and insect-proof things. In this way, he spent more than 2,000 oceans, and after maxing out the remaining credit limits of his three credit cards, he also posted his own living expenses for two months.

The warehousing service is also considerate, and people use a cart to push it to the community. It's just that I have to move up to the seventh floor by myself, but I'm going to die.

In the end, Du Fei also went to the pharmacy and bought five first-aid kits, which contained a lot of things, such as disinfectant alcohol, gauze, and bandages. In addition to these, I also bought a lot of drugs to stop bleeding and sterilize. I wanted to get some penicillin or something, but antibiotics are prescription drugs and can't be bought without a doctor's prescription, so I had to wait a few days before coming over to grab them. Medicine has always been a luxury, and it seems that I didn't buy much of it, but I spent more than 2,000 yuan.

Prepare these, and the money is well spent. In the first half of the apocalypse, the money was still somewhat useful. As the number of infected people and corrupt giant trees increases, and the survival materials are drastically reduced, money becomes less and less valuable. At least for three days, social order can still be maintained, and it is necessary to get a gun tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, even if you can't get such a high-end thing, it should still be possible to buy a sniper crossbow.

Du Fei moved the first-aid medicine to the house on the seventh floor, and then looked at his watch, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. The mobile phone has been thrown away by Du Fei, and he bought a watch, Wanguo's, which seems to be a famous brand, anyway, this brand seems to have been heard of somewhere. However, Du Fei thinks that this watch may be a fake, it doesn't matter if it's fake or not, as long as the time is accurate, the watch is not like that. And it's discounted, as long as 199.8 yuan, anyway, it's the bank's money, and it doesn't hurt to spend it. This watch also has an alarm clock, but the sound is relatively quiet, but it is enough for Du Fei.

The Corrupted Giant Tree will start to grow wildly at about twelve o'clock, and there are still more than six hours until midnight, so you should use this time to get a good night's sleep.

Du Fei had searched around the neighborhood today, and found nothing resembling the seeds of the Corrupted Giant Tree. With such a large community, it seems that it will only be easier to find it until it starts to grow wildly. There may be danger tonight, it is not possible to do without physical strength and spirit, Du Fei ate something, set the alarm clock of his watch to 11:30 p.m., barely did a hundred push-ups and sit-ups, and then took a shower and went back to the room to sleep.

…………

Tonight is the first time that the Corrupt Giant has spread the virus, and the infection rate is not high, mainly a tentative infection, in preparation for the subsequent virus to adjust its DNA. Even if it waits until tomorrow, the few infected people will only be quarantined as another "**".

Due to his post-apocalyptic experience, Du Fei has learned to fall asleep and wake up anytime and anywhere.

So as soon as the watch alarm went off, Du Fei opened his eyes, then turned on the lights in the house, habitually checked whether there were any traces of the doors and windows, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he cooked a bowl of instant noodles and took it to the roof to eat. By the way, I observed the movement in the community, hoping to find the little seedling that I didn't know where to hide.

It was already 12 midnight, and it was pitch black everywhere in the community, except for a few dim street lamps. When the instant noodles were finished, I didn't notice anything going on.

Du Fei came down from the roof of the building, returned to his house, and put on a coat. Take the Tang knife out from under the bed, put it in the bag of a badminton racket, and carry it behind your back. If you are seen like this, others will not know that the bag containing the badminton racket contains a sharp Tang knife.

Packed up, grabbed a flashlight and went downstairs. There are eight buildings in this community, as well as a green belt and fountains, and with the addition of garages and so on, the area is really not small. A full-fledged search in the middle of the night will also take some time.

Du Fei carried a flashlight and conducted a carpet search in the community. It didn't take long for the night guard to ask questions, and Du Fei said that he had lost the key and was looking for it. Today, Du Fei's big boxes and small boxes were moved up and down, and the security guards also recognized them, so they didn't bother with their business and went back to nap.

After an hour, Du Fei had already ploughed the entire community, and even the cover of the sewer was secretly removed to look at it, but not a single woolen thread was found. Looking at the time, it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night.

It is estimated that the Corrupt Giant Tree sapling should have grown to half a human height. There's no reason why you can't find something so big. Isn't it in this neighborhood? It's not impossible, the Corrupt Giant Tree is not a real plant after all, it can actually move, but moving will slow down its growth rate, so it will not move its nest under normal circumstances.

Du Fei scratched his hair, feeling a little irritable. When I saw this corrupted giant tree before it was reborn, it was already a monster more than thirty meters tall, covering an area of almost half a football field, so the exact location was not determined at all.

I touched my stomach, and I was a little hungry again, a bowl of instant noodles was really not a problem. So I wanted to go back to eat something and then come down to continue looking, and when I walked to my unit building, I subconsciously glanced at the house I rented on the seventh floor.

When his gaze swept over the third floor, he was suddenly stunned. On the balcony on the third floor, a half-man-tall brown-gray thing was writhing, as if enjoying the coolness of the evening breeze. Seven or eight tentacles are wrapped around the anti-theft net, and I feel disgusting when I look at it. At the top of the trunk is a large mouth, somewhat resembling a man-eating flower, and one by one as if it is breathing air.

Du Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked for most of the day, and walked downstairs several times, but he never thought of looking up, it was really careless. Take a closer look with a flashlight, I don't know which bastard actually planted the corrupted giant tree in a flower pot, it's too talented.
