While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

"Okay, Luo Ning, I'll take you to a restaurant in the base. The chefs there are the same people from before the apocalypse, and the food is quite good."

Xiao Helin gestured for Luo Ning to walk to the front.

Most of the shops in this area belonged to him before the apocalypse, and he moved his base to this location after the apocalypse.

The zombies were cleared out in time, and many buildings here were not damaged much.

Xiao Helin also allowed some ordinary people without superpowers who were originally here to stay in their original positions, and he provided them with some supplies to support them.

"Okay," Luo Ning replied.

Xiao Helin smiled, but 123 was extremely anxious.

Why hasn't the male lead arrived yet? The host is about to have a candlelight dinner with another man.

The man had a lewd smile on his face, and he looked like he had ulterior motives.

However, it cannot advise the host against going, because the host will hate it.

123 is very clear about her own position; the host doesn't like others making decisions for her.

If someone crosses the line, the host will deduct points from that person's score. When the score reaches zero, the person will be kicked out of the host's circle.

It doesn't want its host to hate it.

Luo Ning and Xiao Helin arrived at a Western restaurant. If it weren't for the exterior coating, the interior would be almost indistinguishable from the pre-apocalyptic world.

The only difference is that there aren't as many people.

Few people came to eat, and even fewer waiters were in the lobby.

"Many people have been on missions lately, so business here isn't very good. However, the ingredients here were stored before the apocalypse. I had a space ability user preserve them, so they taste no different from freshly delivered ingredients."

This restaurant also belongs to Xiao Helin, and the ingredients used here are all top-quality ingredients from before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, very few people could afford to eat it; besides him, only the commanders of a few larger bases could afford it.

He knew that resources would be scarce after the apocalypse, and even fewer people would be able to afford food.

However, there weren't many people in his base, so it remained empty.

He was thinking of transforming it into a more cost-effective restaurant, but he didn't have many supplies.

But just because he doesn't have it doesn't mean Luo Ning doesn't. If she can provide supplies later, his restaurant can open.

Luo Ning was unaware that his supplies were being targeted even before he had opened his business.

I followed Xiao Helin to sit by the window, where we should have been able to see the river view outside.

However, the water level has dropped significantly, and the river has receded far away.

The river water that was still visible had turned pitch black, mixed with rotting flesh and all sorts of garbage.

There was strong acid rain a while ago, and the water was very acidic.

In addition, there are various heavy metals corroded by strong acid rain and viruses brought by zombies.

That water is no longer usable, no matter what.

"Where does your base get its drinking water from?"

Luo Ning asked curiously, "She has a living spring and never lacks water."

But with so many people at Xiao Helin's base, where would they get so much water?

"It was stored before the apocalypse. Before the apocalypse, there were several water cellars in my manor, all dug by the older generation."

At the very beginning of the apocalypse, I led my people to collect a large amount of water, food, gasoline, and fuel.

Our base has enough water for four or five months. I've already sent people to find water, and there are people at the base also checking the water level to see if we can drill a few wells.

Xiao Helin didn't care much about it. The water outside was unusable, but he had already had someone check it.

The groundwater should be usable; we just need to drill a few wells.

Luo Ning didn't speak; groundwater wasn't as severely polluted as surface water.

It is absolutely not safe to drink directly; it needs to be purified before it can be used.

Moreover, the taste is not good; it has a strong disinfectant smell, indicating inadequate disinfection and potential harm to the human body.

The ecological damage caused by that severe acid rain was beyond human imagination.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Helin had a bad feeling.

Despite the persistently high temperatures outside, he wasn't too worried.

Firstly, because his base had enough drinking water stored, and secondly, because the researchers said they could drill a well.

However, the experts in his base were definitely not as good as those in the official base, and he knew that Luo Ning was close to the official base.

I thought she knew more detailed information.

"Do you know something? The researchers at my base said that this heatwave won't last long, and we can get well water from the base."

Luo Ning was taken aback by her words; the official base wouldn't release information about the persistent high temperatures.

Xiao Helin could only get limited information from the official base, and he probably didn't know about this kind of information that only high-level officials knew.

"I'll give you a piece of information for free today: find a water source as soon as possible and store as much water as you can," Luo Ning said calmly.

"The researchers told me that this heatwave would last at most two or three months."

Xiao Helin wanted to explain, but then he saw Luo Ning's expression and knew that she wasn't trying to scare him.

"I provide so many resources to support those people every day, and all they give me is this inaccurate research result, yet they call themselves experts. What a load of bull!"

Xiao Helin cursed under his breath, then sent a message to Zhao the hairdresser.

"Thank you very much for the information, Miss Luo, today."

Xiao Helin knew that every piece of information known in advance was important in the apocalypse.

This means he has more time to prepare than others.

This also allows you to secure more resources in advance.

"It's alright, the better the base is, the better I'll be." Luo Ning waved his hand casually. "But even brothers should keep their accounts clear. Consider this news as my greeting gift to you. Next time you ask for other information, we'll have a price tag, okay?"

Xiao Helin's eyes widened when he heard Luo Ning's words; he couldn't quite understand them.

What did she just do that needs to be put on a price list?

Oh, she told him something he didn't know.

But wasn't she going to open a fruit and vegetable shop? How come she's selling news items too, and even with prices clearly marked?

Xiao Helin asked in a low voice, "Luo Ning, do you mean that your store will sell more than just fruits and vegetables in the future?"

"Yes, we sell whatever we have. So what are we limited to? When I open, you can come and take a look if you like anything. Please support my business."

Luo Ning didn't explain in detail, but Xiao Helin had a vague feeling that his base would undergo significant changes because of Luo Ning's shop.

They looked at Luo Ning with even more caution. Since she dared to say that, it meant that she had a lot of resources, perhaps even more than him.

But she wasn't worried about him at all. He didn't know whether to be pleased that she believed in him or discouraged that she wasn't worried at all.

Her lack of concern for his apprehension demonstrates her confidence in her own abilities.

And he truly dared not act rashly.

Xiao Helin smiled, thankfully he hadn't resorted to force just now.

The waiter brought out a fresh steak, which Xiao Helin cut up and presented to Luo Ning.

"How does it taste?"

Before Luo Ning could even make a move, Wang Hu rushed in anxiously.

"Boss, a man has come in outside. He says he's looking for Miss Luo."

123 immediately raised their heads; the male lead had finally arrived.
