The end of the world? This is simply his paradise!

Chapter 2 Stock up on supplies
"Are you the system?"

Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

Online novels had already become popular when Wang Qiang was in junior high school.

During his three years of high school, except for the second half of his senior year, Wang Qiang also read many online novels.

Naturally, he was quite familiar with the routines of this system.

But precisely because of the familiarity, Wang Qiang was even more shocked.

After all, aren’t the systems in novels all made up by online writers?
If this really happened in real life, anyone would be shocked, right?

【Yes, host! 】

"You just said that this is the countdown to the doomsday event, which means there are less than nineteen hours left until the doomsday event occurs?"

The countdown in front of me starts at 18 hours, 46 minutes and 59 seconds.

Then the string of numbers decreases by one per second.

【Yes, host! 】

"Then do you know what the doomsday event is specifically?"

Wang Qiang asked anxiously.

After all, it was the end of the world!
As a human being living in this world, Wang Qiang is of course very concerned.

If he could know what the doomsday event would be in advance, then he could avoid it in advance, right?

But this time, Wang Qiang waited for more than a minute, but there was no response from the system.

Don't want to respond?
Or...is this system actually not that smart?
Wang Qiang thought about it, so he asked again tentatively: "System, can you tell me about your function?"

[This system is a survival of the fittest system. The host will receive a survival reward for every day they survive after the end of the world. For every year they survive, they will receive a special prize! ]

The system did respond this time, and the function that Wang Qiang cared about was quite simple.

Just survive and then be rewarded.

Time is calculated on a daily basis.

You will get a reward for every day you survive.

But the system did not specify what the specific rewards were.

"Then system, can I claim the first day's reward now?"

Wang Qiang asked.

[No, the end of the world has not really come yet. Please claim the first day's reward after the countdown ends! ]

The system's answer was straightforward: "No."

Wang Qiang also accepted this.

After all, there is nothing you can do if you don't accept him.

"But, system, don't you have any novice gift packages or something like that?"

Wang Qiang asked, in the online novels he had read, the protagonists' systems all had novice gift packs.

[Yes, the host has automatically obtained the novice benefits. The doomsday survival rewards obtained on the first day will be multiplied by 10,000 times! ]

Ten thousand times critical hit?
666!

This reward is good, much more practical than those fancy but useless things.

But for the time being, Wang Qiang is no longer needed.

We can only wait until tomorrow.

Ding~!

"You have a new order, please accept it!"

Just as Wang Qiang was thinking, his cell phone on his electric scooter suddenly rang.

"It's the end of the world, why are you still taking orders?"

Wang Qiang took a look and rejected the order with a single swipe.

In a dozen hours or so, the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes. By then, it is hard to say whether the money you have now will still be useful.

Take orders?

What the hell kind of order is this?

"Let's go buy some supplies first. No matter what kind of apocalypse is coming, supplies are necessities."

Wang Qiang got on his bike and headed straight for the largest supermarket nearby.

In the doomsday world, resources are everything!
Although I don’t know what the apocalyptic disaster that will befall in a dozen hours will be like, it’s definitely a good idea to stock up on some supplies no matter what!

Ten minutes later, Wang Qiang rode his bike to the largest supermarket nearby.

Wearing a delivery rider's uniform, he quickly ran into the supermarket.

The passers-by around just looked at him curiously and ignored him. Nowadays, delivery boys have become the most common sight in the city. It is normal to see delivery boys in major shopping malls or supermarkets like this one.

Wang Qiang ran into the supermarket and pushed a shopping cart to the food area.

"When the end of the world comes, there will likely be problems with water, electricity, and gas. When there is no water, electricity, or gas, it will be impossible to cook."

Wang Qiang thought to himself, so his first choice of supplies was those foods that were ready to eat right out of the bag.

Like bread, biscuits, chocolate, etc., I want them all!
In addition, water is also essential.

Wang Qiang directly put four boxes of mineral water into the shopping cart.

Four boxes are definitely not enough, but Wang Qiang’s electric scooter can’t hold so many things, so he can only buy these first, and he can buy the rest directly from the small supermarket outside the community when the time comes.

When the time comes, just ask the boss to deliver the goods to your door.

After all, Wang Qiang bought a lot, so the boss was willing to make an extra trip.

In addition, Wang Qiang still threw piles of self-heating rice and self-heating hot pot into the shopping cart.

"Oh, and I need to buy some self-defense stuff."

Wang Qiang pushed the cart to the kitchen supplies section, picked out a set of kitchen knives and threw them into the shopping cart.

There were no kitchen knives where he lived because they didn't have fires at all.

However, if the kitchen knife is used as a weapon, it is somewhat lacking.

Wang Qiang plans to go to the hardware store later to buy some rebar and the like. Although they are not sharp blades, they are barely enough for self-defense.

Soon, Wang Qiang's shopping cart was filled up.

So he pushed his cart to the self-checkout area and started scanning the codes to check out items one by one.

Seeing that he had a lot of things, several staff members from the supermarket nearby came over to help move them.

When he finally paid the bill, Wang Qiang spent more than 800 yuan!
This was the first time he spent so much money in a supermarket. In the past, he would only spend one or two hundred yuan at most, and had never spent more than eight hundred yuan.

That's it……

The shopping cart is still full.

Otherwise he could buy it again.

Pushing the shopping cart full of goods out of the supermarket, Wang Qiang moved the items one by one onto his electric scooter.

For the first time, he felt that his electric scooter was so capable.

After everything was installed, Wang Qiang could only barely sit on it, and even steering was a little difficult.

There was no choice but Wang Qiang could only ride slowly and carefully along the way. He finally arrived at the community where he rented a house safely.

Room 6, Building 1602.

Wang Qiang took the elevator upstairs and moved his things into the house one by one.

Those who rent here with Wang Qiang are all working people.

It was broad daylight and no one was at home; everyone was working outside.

Therefore, no one saw Wang Qiang moving the goods as if he was doing a sweep.

By the time he moved all his things into his room, he was already sweating profusely.

Wang Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the supplies piled up in a corner, smiling with satisfaction.

"This is not enough. I have to buy some more."

Wang Qiang thought.

He has lived frugally in the past two years and has saved some money in his bank card.

He plans to spend all his money today.

I’m afraid that my room isn’t big enough to store so many things.

"Forget it, let's fill it up first."

Wang Qiang thought to himself.

After sitting and resting in the small living room outside for a while and washing his face with cold water, Wang Qiang set out again.

This time, he mainly bought various breads, biscuits, and small snacks with a long shelf life.

They carried the goods home in carts.

I don't know how many times I ran back and forth, and spent tens of thousands of dollars.

Only then did Wang Qiang stop.

It’s not that he has no money, but the room is almost full of it.

Even on the bed where he slept, there were some things placed.

"Oh, I almost forgot about the water!"
