Chapter 4: Stock up on supplies

Heavenly Sea Human Realm.

Tianhai City's most prosperous integrated entertainment and dining leisure venue.

Inside a private room, several of Tianhai City's largest wholesale business owners, each held an A4 paper.

Holding the paper Ye Junmo had just handed over, seeing the various materials listed on it, the wholesale merchants were absolutely dumbfounded.

A total of 10,000 tons of various vegetables.

A total of 10,000 tons of various fruits.

Various meats, some more, some less, mostly pork, also totaling 10,000 tons.

Seafood, edible salt, rice, flour, beverages, various seasonings, various snacks, candies, biscuits, instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, self-heating rice, hot and sour noodles, chili sauce, boxed yogurt, boxed steak, dumplings, wontons, glutinous rice balls, Okamoto, etc., were also countless.

As long as it could be eaten or used in a supermarket, it was basically on the A4 paper list.

Just now, Ye Junmo had told them that these supplies were for charity.

Of course.

This was just an excuse.

As for cigarettes, gasoline, medical equipment, and medicines, they would only be acquired through frantic 0 yuan shopping after the apocalypse arrived.

Seeing the shock in the eyes of the several bosses, Ye Junmo asked with a half-smile:

"Gentlemen, how about this deal?"

"I know that more than 9 days is indeed a bit difficult for everyone."

"But I believe in your abilities."

"More than two thousand large trailer/refrigerated trucks, mobilizing vehicles from all over the country, should not be a big problem for you."

"I can add an extra 20,000 yuan in transportation fees for each trailer, only requesting that all goods arrive at the designated location by midnight on September 11th."

Not to mention whether the money was enough, just the transportation was a huge problem.

Assuming a trailer truck carries 25-30 tons, 10,000 tons would require two hundred trucks.

The total amount of supplies he needed was nearly 120,000 tons, which meant 2,200 trailer trucks and large refrigerated trucks.

Fortunately, it was in Tianhai City, a large coastal city, so it wasn't a big problem.

Hearing Ye Junmo speak, the few people conferred with each other for a while.

"No problem, Ye Shao, as long as the money is in place, all the supplies you need by midnight on the 11th will definitely arrive at the warehouse location you specified. We will definitely fully support Ye Shao's charity work."

Hearing what the bosses said, Ye Junmo picked up the red wine in front of him and took a sip.

"I can pay each of you a 50% deposit now and sign the contract. All the payment for the goods will be settled on the daytime of the 11th."

The wholesale business owners laughed upon hearing this, and the few of them raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank them down.

After signing the contract, Ye Junmo led Su Fei's soft little hand out of the private room.

"They are all good people."

Ye Junmo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Paying a 50% deposit was equivalent to 7 billion yuan worth of supplies.

After the blood rain polluted the earth, in the early days of the apocalypse, let alone finding a fresh vegetable, even eating leaves, if not purified, ordinary Human could easily be poisoned.

Ability Users were better off; after their bodies evolved, Ability Users could be immune to many minor viruses.

Even so, it was still extremely difficult for an Ability User to eat a fresh vegetable in the early days of the apocalypse.

After all, vegetables and fruits would rot within two days and were not easy to preserve.

As for meat, let alone, it could only exist in fantasy.

Only after half a year into the apocalypse, when Ability Users established Cities, did they begin to become self-sufficient.

Various forces gathered in the Cities.

After the group had a light-type Ability User, they cleared out a Wasteland, purified a piece of polluted land, and only then did Human slowly gain a place of self-sufficiency.

Even with light-type Ability Users purifying the land, water-type Ability Users irrigating, and wood-type Ability Users Birth, the vegetables grown were merely a drop in the bucket, pitifully scarce.

One City could barely provide enough for a medium-sized guild of 50,000 people.

Even so, the meals would only include a piece of fresh vegetable every two days.

After all, growing vegetables, even with wood-type Ability Users accelerating growth, does not happen in one or two days.

As for spiritual supplies like chili, cigarettes, and alcohol that relieve stress and refresh the mind, they were simply sought-after goods.

The surviving Human who escaped the corpses, endured hunger, and survived natural disasters were waiting for mental stress.

Some ordinary people, due to excessive mental stress, couldn't bear it and often went crazy; those who committed suicide were not a few.

Yanhuang Empire, with a population of 1.6 billion, 70% mutated into corpses, 10% died at the mouths of corpses, and 10% died from various disasters, diseases, and starvation.

As for the remaining 10%, at least more than half died resisting the corpses.

It is estimated that no more than 3% will ultimately survive.

Take Tianhai City as an example; it originally had a population of over 25 million.

After the apocalypse broke out, only over 2 million remained by the time the City was established.

Furthermore, five years after the apocalypse, when Human made a large transfer to Kunlun Mountain and Divine Farmer Frame, the population of Tianhai City was less than 500,000.

And Ye Junmo died on the way during the large transfer to Divine Farmer Frame.

Recalling the large transfer, Ye Junmo's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Aren't you curious why I sold the company at a low price and bought a large amount of various supplies?"

On the way to the parking lot, Ye Junmo stopped and looked at Su Fei, asking.

Su Fei looked up at Ye Junmo upon hearing this, their eyes meeting, her eyes revealing determination, and she said resolutely:

"As long as I can follow Ye Shao, even if I can only live a civilian life, Fei'er is willing."

Hearing Su Fei say this, Ye Junmo smiled.

"Call me Jun Mo from now on; Ye Shao is too distant."

"Jun Mo?"

Gently stroked Su Fei's cheek.

"Let's go, home."

Above the third-floor balcony of Panlong Mountain Villa.

Ye Junmo, wrapped in a bath towel, looked at the vast, endless sea with surging waves in the distance, exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, and uttered the words "Human Forbidden Zone".

Even five years after the apocalypse, Human dared not easily explore the edge of the sea, let alone the deep sea, where the real great terror lay.

...

"The trucks carrying meat, vegetables, and fruits, unload at the cold storage over there."

"The outside movers, first unload the supplies from the trucks and place them outside the cold storage. Inside movers, speed up, speed up. It's hot, don't waste Time. Trucks that have finished unloading should leave quickly."

Outside the warehouse cold storage in the suburbs, Wang Hao was directing with a megaphone.

Ye Junmo sat inside a large RV next to him, enjoying the air conditioning and quietly watching the busy movers.

After a while, Wang Hao, covered in sweat, ran to the RV and knocked on the door.

Seeing Ye Junmo open the door, Wang Hao spoke with a smile.

"Ye Shao, after unloading today's supplies, I estimate the cold storage won't be able to fit any more."

Ye Junmo saw Wang Hao, who was covered in sweat, and handed him a hua zi: "How many trucks?"

"So far, 571 trucks have unloaded. You said there are more than a thousand trucks of supplies after this. In this hot weather, without cold storage, the meat, vegetables, and fruits will smell bad and rot overnight."

Before Ye Junmo could speak, Wang Hao spoke again:

"Ye Shao, there are three empty warehouses ahead, and they all have large cold storage. What do you think..."

"Manager Wang, I'll transfer you 7 million. I need all the supplies to be stored by the night of the 11th."

Ye Junmo interrupted him before Wang Hao could finish.

Originally, he had planned to collect the supplies into the System Space after the cold storage was full at night.

As for why the goods suddenly disappeared overnight, he wouldn't explain anything to Wang Hao and the movers.

However, hearing Wang Hao say this, it was possible to unload the goods before collecting them into the System Space.

Anyway, he still had a few million on him, and it was useless to keep it.

After the apocalypse broke out, paper money felt like an extra step just for lighting a cigarette, let alone the ethereal and void digital currency.

"Okay, Ye Shao, I guarantee I'll arrange it for you. I'll go have people open the other three cold storages in advance."
