Chapter 4: The cannon fodder female supporting role in the end of the world

The next morning, Xie Lingruo prepared to take all the properties under her name to the bank for a mortgage loan, mainly because selling houses in a hurry now would depress prices and be a huge waste of time.

Therefore, Xie Lingruo decided to directly hand over the properties to the bank for mortgage processing, which would allow for quick monetization without attracting attention.

However, before mortgaging the properties, Xie Lingruo had to collect everything usable in the house she was currently living in and put it into her space. After all, every little bit counts, and many of Lin Qingxue's things were branded goods.

For example, the bed she was currently sleeping on was said to have been specially crafted by artisans hired by Lin Qingxue's father, so this definitely had to be taken.

The row of unopened expensive cosmetics on the nearby table were taken; the clothes in the wardrobe with their tags still on were also taken; and the household appliances in the house were all taken as well…

In the end, when Xie Lingruo left, she only left behind the non-removable doors, windows, and floor tiles. The room looked like an empty display unit.

Actually, there was another reason Xie Lingruo took the bed: she planned to live in the warehouse herself later.

So, she planned to take this large bed and place it in the lounge area of the warehouse later.

How great would that be? She wouldn't have to run back and forth and could have more time for physical training.

At this moment, Xie Lingruo suddenly thought of a serious problem: according to the original plot, people's drinking water would also become an issue after the apocalypse.

Therefore, Xie Lingruo specifically ordered many large-capacity water storage tanks online.

To reduce transportation time, she also specifically chose merchants closer to her location for purchase, so she could get them faster.

At the same time, she also ordered some outdoor supplies online. To avoid attracting attention, she chose several reputable merchants and placed orders in batches.

All delivery times were set for after 7 PM, and the delivery address was the warehouse she had previously rented.

When it came to actually stockpiling supplies, Xie Lingruo realized that the warehouse she had rented before was not large enough, so she used Zhou Yi's identity information to order two more warehouses.

She planned for these three warehouses: one for food, one for daily necessities, and the other for items ordered online.

This way, the warehouses would not interfere with each other, and it would be convenient for her to retrieve items.

After these matters were settled, it was already eight o'clock. Xie Lingruo hastily grabbed a piece of bread from the space refrigerator, got into her van, and drove towards the largest bank in the city.

Upon arriving at the bank, Xie Lingruo went directly through the VIP channel and was personally received by the bank manager. When the manager learned that she wanted to mortgage several properties, his attitude clearly became much more enthusiastic.

Especially since if he completed this large transaction, the manager himself would receive a substantial bonus.

After the manager completed all the property mortgage procedures, Xie Lingruo gained another 120 million in funds.

After leaving the bank, Xie Lingruo drove her car to another wholesale market. She did this to avoid concentrated stockpiling in one place.

This made it less likely for her to be targeted and allowed her to diversify the types of supplies in her space.

According to her previous plan, Xie Lingruo was going to purchase daily necessities today, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary napkins, toilet paper, body wash, and shampoo. She bought enough for approximately 10 people for 200 years.

In addition, she also bought many plastic takeout containers, which would be convenient for holding meals later. They could be taken out and eaten immediately, with no need for cleanup—truly a blessing for the lazy!

She also bought a good amount of clothes, shoes, and socks of various sizes and for all seasons, as well as bedding sets.

As usual, she paid a deposit first and arranged delivery times with each merchant, providing the address of Warehouse No. 2 as the delivery location.

Currently, Xie Lingruo is very actively stockpiling things because she will also go to other worlds for missions later. According to the information provided by the System earlier, she can even bring the supplies in her space to subsequent mission worlds!

Therefore, Xie Lingruo decided: she must spend all her money before the apocalypse, buy like crazy, and enjoy the thrill of stockpiling without considering the price.

Then, when the apocalypse first begins, while others haven't reacted yet, she can go out and get a wave of free goods—it wouldn't be a loss.

After all, stockpiling things at that time would not have the same level of safety or variety as it does now.

In the afternoon, Xie Lingruo went to the training hall as usual, but Coach Yu had something to do today, so he asked his Disciple, who was still serving in the military, to come and help her train.

Because Coach Yu had informed her in advance, Xie Lingruo was mentally prepared to face a new coach, but she was still surprised when she first met the substitute coach. Who knew Coach Yu's Disciple would be so young?

The other party was named Zhou Yi, with a baby face, standing at 1.9 meters tall, and his body was covered in wheat-colored muscles.

His face and physique had a strong contrast, and despite being 29 years old, he looked like a college student.

However, when he trained, he was much more demanding than Coach Yu was yesterday, but Xie Lingruo gritted her teeth and persevered.

If Xie Lingruo wanted to give up, she would force herself to think about Lin Qingxue's tragic end. She had to train hard to increase her chances of surviving in the apocalypse later.

Actually, Zhou Yi was so strict with Xie Lingruo because he hoped she would give up sooner, so he could be free and wouldn't have to help his master anymore.

After half a day, Xie Lingruo had changed clothes twice. Fortunately, she brought a large suitcase, so carrying an extra set of clothes wouldn't arouse suspicion.

The main reason was that the training intensity this afternoon was too high, causing her clothes to be soaked with sweat twice.

After each training session, Coach Zhou would make Xie Lingruo stretch, saying it could help promote muscle recovery.

In the evening, Xie Lingruo bought several boxed meals from the roadside. In the car, she left one outside and put the others in her space.

She did this to conduct an experiment, to see if her space could preserve freshness. When she returned to the warehouse, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the boxed meals in her space were warmer than the one left outside in the car.

What did this indicate? Her space could actually preserve freshness, so her future stockpiling plan would have to change.
