Stock up on supplies

At this moment, she couldn't help but think that a large section outside this tunnel had barbed wire, but a lot of it was abandoned and collapsed!

Given this, it was entirely possible to repair those barbed wire fences and electrify them.

The defensive capability of her air raid shelter could increase by a large margin!

This job was feasible!

At this moment, a voice echoed in her mind again.

"Super Lord system activated!"

"Please reinforce the original Base. The system will grant rewards based on the degree of reinforcement! Countdown 15 days!"

Han Qingxia's eyes lit up.

Just as she was slightly startled by the new mission, she heard the system prompt.

"Ding—Detected one Base war dog, rewarding war dog combat power increase by a hundredfold! Physical quality increase by a hundredfold!"

Han Qingxia watched in surprise as Summer's body began to change before her.

His physique doubled in strength, his claws and teeth became longer and incredibly sharp, and the old age he showed due to his age completely faded, replaced by the intimidating aura of a fierce beast.

"Woof woof woof!"

Han Qingxia exclaimed, "Wow~"

——————————

Building material market.

Han Qingxia had a small car left by her mother before she passed away, so transportation was guaranteed.

She was going to start reinforcing her Base like crazy!

She found a barbed wire factory and ordered two thousand square meters of razor wire, circular barbed wire.

These steel barbed wire circles could just be wrapped around the existing barbed wire, requiring little work and being extremely effective.

At a price of seven yuan per meter, Han Qingxia spent fourteen thousand yuan in one go.

The quantity was not small, so the boss sent his own large truck to follow Han Qingxia for delivery. Han Qingxia took them to the edge of the suburbs and had them unload it on an empty plot by the roadside.

"I'll call a vehicle to pick it up later."

"Okay."

She didn't want to expose the Base's location. Fortunately, it was already dark. After the goods were unloaded on an empty plot, Han Qingxia had Summer help her keep watch. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the remote suburbs, she stored them one by one in her space.

Today, her space gained 289 cubic meters. Her furniture only occupied a few cubic meters, so the rest was completely sufficient to store these barbed wire fences. The space was very ample.

After clearing out the items, she drove back to her station with Summer.

On the way, she thought that she still needed to rent another warehouse.

Half an hour later, Han Qingxia returned to the air raid shelter.

After returning, she began to reinforce a section of old barbed wire.

She reinforced it meter by meter by herself, with Summer occasionally helping her by bringing over some tools.

The two of them worked from dark until dawn.

Finally, they had reinforced the entire two thousand meters along the existing barbed wire.

She couldn't wait to hear the reinforcement reward this time.

Just as she finished the last bit of reinforcement, a voice came from her mind.

"Detected barbed wire reinforcement, reward—defense effect increased by a hundredfold!"

As the reward fell, Han Qingxia watched in surprise as the entire line of barbed wire she had just reinforced visibly became thicker, denser, and sharper.

Every blade on the razor wire she bought gleamed with a chilling light, and the tiny steel barbs grew much longer!

An originally relatively thin barbed wire gate was now upgraded to a steel lift gate!

She walked to the wire mesh and pushed it hard, but it didn't budge at all!

One had to know that when she was reinforcing it just now, she found that these barbed wire fences could effectively block people from entering, but it would definitely not work if someone drove through forcefully or if Zombies surged in large numbers.

But now, even if thousands of Zombies attacked together, they wouldn't be able to tear open her barbed wire!

Han Qingxia was very satisfied.

She couldn't wait to buy other things to continue reinforcing.

However, at this moment, a more important matter reminded her.

"Gurgle—"

"Woof woof!"

She was hungry, and Summer was circling around her, looking like he was starving.

"You're hungry too, aren't you?"

"Woof!" Summer whimpered twice.

They had only eaten something yesterday and had been busy all day, and hadn't even started officially purchasing supplies yet!

Han Qingxia then thought that she still had some food in her space.

Thinking about the steamed buns she cleared out of the house yesterday, with a thought, a bag of steaming hot soup dumplings appeared in her hand.

It was still hot?

Han Qingxia couldn't help but take out the refrigerator at this moment.

After opening the refrigerator, she was surprised to find.

Indeed, even without being plugged in, it was still cold!

"Even without electricity, it remains the same!"

This meant that the space the system rewarded her with was a sealed space with no heat loss!

Whatever state the items were in when put in, they would be in the same state when taken out!

Han Qingxia was overjoyed. This also meant that she could stockpile supplies indefinitely without worrying about them expiring!

When stockpiling food later, she could do so with complete confidence!

————————

"It's three hundred a month to rent here, with a one-month deposit and one month's rent upfront!"

At a vacant house in the suburbs.

Han Qingxia stood inside with Summer, and before her was a middle-aged Mr. in his forties or fifties.

There were a large number of vacant houses on both sides of the suburban road. These were their old farmhouses. Now basically everyone had moved to the city, leaving large areas of farmhouses empty. Some in good locations would have 'for rent' signs with phone numbers.

Han Qingxia found a relatively large and conveniently located farmhouse on the main road outside her air raid shelter.

She planned to use this as a transfer station, stockpiling supplies here and then transporting them using the system space to avoid drawing attention and to make it easier for her to go out and purchase.

This way, she wouldn't have to unload goods by the roadside like yesterday, which could easily attract attention.

"Four hundred, no deposit. I'll just rent it for one month as a warehouse!" Han Qingxia negotiated with the landlord.

"How can that work?"

"If not, I'll go to another place."

The landlord immediately stopped her, "Alright, alright, four hundred it is. But you can't damage my place, and leave on time when the lease is up!"

"No problem!" Han Qingxia got the key for four hundred yuan.

She would definitely move out when the lease was up, because the expiration date would never arrive.

Similarly, if she had paid a deposit, she wouldn't get it back.

Spending this extra hundred was still saving two hundred.

She couldn't negotiate the price for the air raid shelter, but she had to save money here!

After successfully renting the warehouse, she began purchasing supplies.

The first thing was food.

She first went to ten shops and bought four hundred bags of fifty-pound rice from each.

First, stockpile a hundred tons of rice!

A hundred tons of rice isn't actually that much; a regular dedicated grain wholesale station can provide it.

And a hundred tons of rice only occupies a space with a length, width, and height of 5 meters each!

Her space could also accommodate it! She could transport it!

These rice bags cost Han Qingxia over four hundred thousand yuan in total, enough for her to eat for several lifetimes!

In addition, she also stockpiled one thousand boxes of instant noodles of various flavors, such as Japanese Tonkotsu, Braised Beef, Seafood Banmian, Spicy Beef, Dry Mixed Noodles... basically every flavor available on the market!

After the apocalypse began, instant noodles were a luxury item!

Easy to prepare, tasted good, provided abundant oil and salt, and didn't require searching for seasonings. In the apocalypse, they were the best food!

The price of instant noodles ranged from fifty to over a hundred yuan per box.

The most common box of 24 packs of Braised Beef noodles cost 54 yuan, while the more expensive Japanese Tonkotsu cost around a hundred yuan for thirty packs.

On average, it was over seventy yuan per box, and one thousand boxes of instant noodles cost a total of seventy thousand yuan.

After buying instant noodles, could she do without ham sausage?

Han Qingxia bought two hundred boxes of her favorite corn sausage and spicy crispy bone sausage, and also ordered a hundred boxes of Wujiang Zha Cai (pickled mustard tubers).

These two items cost less than thirty thousand yuan.

After placing orders for the most basic food items, her gaze fell on self-heating meals and pre-packaged meal kits.

These were very convenient; when she wanted to eat, she could just heat them up.

She went to various brand stores and bought a box of every dish they had in their stores.

One box of Taiwanese Braised Pork, one box of Home-style Tofu, one box of Brazilian BBQ, one box of Sweet and Sour Pork, one box of Mushroom Chicken, one box of Minced Meat Eggplant, one box of Kung Pao Chicken, one box of Curry Chicken... etc.

The average price of a meal kit was seven or eight yuan per bag. Han Qingxia bought over twenty thousand bags from more than ten stores, spending a total of around one hundred fifty thousand yuan.

This amount was basically enough for her to eat one bag per meal for the rest of her life!

Only after stockpiling enough basic food for Han Qingxia to eat for a lifetime without any food worries did she feel a little sense of security.

Only with sufficient grain storage could she prepare for other things.

And today alone, she had unknowingly spent nearly seven hundred thousand yuan!

She had over three hundred thousand yuan in savings before, half of which was rent from houses over the years. Now, after selling a house, she got 2 million yuan, leaving her with 1.7 million yuan.

And this was without even starting to prepare for other things.

Money was spent quickly; it couldn't be kept.

Han Qingxia's eyes deepened at this moment. After opening her hand, a bright red property deed appeared before her.

She calmly found the phone number of a local private financial lender online and called it.

"Hello, I would like to mortgage my property and borrow some money."

"Alright, come to my company at ten tomorrow morning to discuss in person!"

Han Qingxia hung up the phone. She was going to mortgage her property deed again.

Hehe, some grudges must be avenged, and returned double!

Prepare to receive her big gift!
