Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

I took a taxi to a supermarket about ten kilometers away from the hotel. It is said that this supermarket is the most cost-effective chain supermarket in California City. However, payment can only be made in cash or with a savings card. It seems that the supermarket has specially formulated this plan to facilitate the flow of funds and ensure the smooth operation of the supermarket.

She happened to have the deposit that Jeff had paid earlier, so she just started shopping slowly.

The entire supermarket covers an area the size of a football field. I walked for a while before I saw the fast food area. I unexpectedly saw the individual combat rations of various countries that were very popular on Taobao for a while. Not only P country, but also E country, and there are many varieties. A large sealed bag actually contains rations for three meals a day, all of which are high-calorie and easy to fill up.

It is also said that there are certain standards for the calories in foreign individual rations. For example, there are rations specifically for cold climates. A bag of individual rations can provide 4500 calories, of which 8% are protein, 32% are fat, and 60% are carbohydrates, which is enough to cope with the rapid loss of heat in the human body in extremely cold weather.

It usually includes a main course, dessert, drink and bread, as well as a flameless heater and disposable tableware.

The main course is nothing more than: stewed chicken, stewed beef, or pasta and bread, as well as beverage powder, lemon tea, cider powder and candy.

Although Gu Tongwan didn't think this thing was delicious, it didn't hinder her desire to buy it. In her previous life, she had only seen a senior team from a certain base eating individual combat rations when they were out on a mission. It was said that this thing could be exchanged for at least five kilograms of potatoes in the trading market at the base, which was a luxury item in the end times.

Looking at the wide variety of items on the shelves, I counted that there are at least a dozen flavors, and they are also divided into sets. For example, set one contains shredded beef with seafood barbecue sauce, set two contains beef sauce and pasta, set three contains stewed beef, and set four contains chili and macaroni. What remains unchanged is that they all come with carbohydrate drink powder, various vegetable cakes, as well as bread or candy and chocolate.

In special times, these high-calorie foods can definitely meet the daily energy needs of a normal person. Even in extremely cold weather, these foods are better than ordinary compressed dry food. As for the taste, Gu Tongwan once bought some online out of curiosity and spent two hundred dollars. The taste was nothing short of amazing. However, it was said that the combat rations eaten by China's special forces were delicious. I don't know if I'll have the chance to stock up in the future.

Looking closely, the price of individual combat rations ranged from US$10 to US$20. Gu Tongwan ordered five packs of each flavor, and bought about a hundred cans of canned meat and tuna, about a hundred cans of canned fruit, and some compressed biscuits from abroad.

When I walked into the beverage area of ​​the supermarket, my attention was immediately attracted by the 36 bottles of mineral water, with an average price of less than seven cents.

Even though he had purchased a batch of bottled water in the country before, he had to know that after a natural disaster, unless he entered the base, it would be very difficult to obtain clean and healthy water in the doomsday. Coupled with the price in front of him, Gu Tongwan instantly felt like he had gotten a bargain.

Without thinking, I purchased thirty bottles of mineral water, spending less than a hundred dollars.

I felt satisfied in my heart all of a sudden. At least I wouldn't have to worry about drinking water in the future.

After buying these, I suddenly saw a discount sign in front. It turned out that today was a discount day in the women's products area. Various sanitary napkins and menstrual care liquids were 20% off the usual price, and most of them even had buy one get one free promotions.

Gu Tongwan originally wanted to buy these things after returning home, but considering the risks of the zero-yuan purchase plan in the future, it would be better to buy them in advance to give himself peace of mind.

So I bought more than 300 packs of my favorite brand of sanitary napkins, tampons, etc.

The daily necessities section nearby was also having a sale, so I bought nearly a hundred boxes of tissue paper and toilet paper at a discounted price.

Walking to the deli area, a twelve-inch pizza cost less than seven dollars, so he generously ordered twenty pizzas. Gu Tongwan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had heard that pizza was eaten by beggars in Country P, and now it seemed that the price was indeed touchingly low.

The price of roast chicken is ridiculously low, only $5.99 per serving, and it is a whole chicken, at least two kilograms of chicken. I directly bought thirty servings.

There were also beef ribs and pork chops that looked good in quality, especially the pork chops, which were slightly cheaper than in China. Although there were already several hundred kilograms of pork in the space, I couldn't resist the urge to purchase them crazily, so I picked up a dozen boxes each and threw them into the shopping cart.

Gu Tongwan didn't have much money, so he tried to be restrained when purchasing goods. As for daily necessities, he basically only bought water and filling food, except for discounted items at very low prices.

But there was one thing that Gu Tongwan couldn't help but buy too much of, and that was a certain kind of Das. In China, a palm-sized one can be sold for nearly 40 yuan, but in the supermarket in Country P, you can buy a barrel of nearly one liter for less than 50 yuan. Gu Tongwan couldn't help but buy a full 50 boxes, and could only comfort himself that he was getting a bargain abroad.

After one round of shopping, I spent almost seven thousand dollars, and the shopping list was two meters long.

Looking at the decreasing amount of cash, Gu Tongwan can only pin his hopes on Jeff and hope that tomorrow's operation will go smoothly. This is related to whether his own wallet can be filled...

When she came out of the supermarket, she was hit by a heat wave that almost suffocated her. Once she left the cool air-conditioning in the supermarket, the scorching sun outside made her dizzy. Soon, a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead, nose tip and back due to the sultry weather.

Not far away, someone's car forgot to deactivate the alarm, and it was emitting a shrill alarm. Passers-by couldn't help but look back. Some people who were annoyed kicked the car door mercilessly, leaving a dent on it. The man came to his senses and was obviously frightened, but soon he ran away in a hurry while shouting.

On the other side, a young woman pushing a stroller was bending over to comfort her crying child. Perhaps because of the weather, the people outside seemed a little restless. Even Gu Tongwan felt a fire burning in his heart.

She couldn't help but take a sip of the iced mineral water in her hand. At this time, there were three or four staff members following her to help her load the remaining goods into a small pickup truck.

She had previously contacted the supermarket and decided that she would pay for the shipping fee herself, and the supermarket would be responsible for delivering the purchased goods to a place near the hotel.

And she was leisurely waiting for the arrival of the online taxi.

Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the weeds on one side of the supermarket. He didn't know whether it had been a long time since anyone had taken care of them or whether they were too tenacious, but the weeds had actually grown to the height of a person's calf. Even though it was such hot weather, the growth trend of the grass did not stop at all. Gu Tongwan suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had heard that the fundamental reason for the destruction of Country P was not only the volcanic eruption, but the mutation of plants was even more terrifying.

However, the mutation of animals and plants in Country P was not obvious at that time. It was not until the mutant zombies appeared after the end of the world that Country P suffered its second devastating blow.

Taking my eyes off the weeds, the online ride-hailing car arrived.

Gu Tongwan arrived at the location first. It was only a few hundred meters away from the hotel and there was no surveillance. The surrounding environment was a bit desolate.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw the supermarket's pickup truck slowly approaching from a distance.

After getting off the car, the two staff members looked at the empty grassland nearby with some surprise. They confirmed again and again whether Gu Tongwan needed to deliver the goods to the hotel before they started to move the goods.

After the pickup truck drove away, Gu Tongwan used his mind to instantly store the things into space.

The space of more than 70 square meters was now filled with various goods, leaving less than 10 square meters of space.

In fact, it is mainly because there are no shelves for classification yet, so things can only be placed in piles on the ground, making the space seem particularly cramped.

Just when I was feeling a little annoyed, a familiar prompt tone suddenly rang out from the system.

【New products are available in the system mall. 】
