The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

For half a month, except for going downstairs to clear the snow and going to the south gate to get water, Zuo Ling stayed at home and didn't go out anywhere.

Climbing up and down to fetch water every day is a chore for Zuo Ling, but he has to do it.

She lives in a doomsday fortress apartment, but who says that people who live in a doomsday fortress apartment will not be short of water.

Although she was really not short of water, she had to stay out of sight. If she didn't get water for a long time, she would arouse suspicion.

I asked the property owner if I can collect it for a few days at a time. There are many high-rise residents, so many people are asking.

The property management company has good flexibility. Answer, you can take it forward, but not backward. It means you can take what you didn’t take in the previous few days at once.

Zuo Ling would take the electric stair climber to fetch water every few days. When he met Professor Jin fetching water, he would also bring his water back.

The old man was very nervous, guessing that the day was approaching, so he quickly called Zuo Ling and asked Zuo Ling to go get water with him.

The rest of the time is spent exercising, cooking, absorbing energy crystals, training ice powers, and occasionally doing small crafts. My life is busy and fulfilling.

Since the first complete cutoff of water, electricity, and gas, I have been unable to watch TV programs. I can occasionally get some news from radio stations.

The resumption of work, classes, schools and transportation is still far away.

The network was intermittent, and at first there were people talking in the community group, happy that they didn’t have to go to work or go to school.

Now we are worried about when we can go back to work and when we can go back to school. If we don’t go back to work, the family will be in trouble, and there will be more and more people complaining.

As time went on, the pessimism became so strong that no one spoke.

Waterfall has found his own hobby, and asks Zuo Ling to open the tablet for him every day, play cartoons, and watch them with gusto.

The little guy is very smart. After watching Zuo Ling operate for a long time, he can turn on the phone by clapping his little paws without any help, and can also adjust his favorite programs to watch.

When he is happy, he whines a few times and shakes his head, not knowing what he is talking about.

Zuo Ling took some videos of the waterfall, but unfortunately it was the end of the world and could not be uploaded to the Internet.

Otherwise, with the cleverness and cuteness of the waterfall, he will definitely become a household name and a famous internet star.

One day, when I went downstairs to clear the snow, Professor Jin followed me.

"Girl, your walkie-talkie is out of battery, right? I've called you several times, but you can't get through."

Zuo Ling had already thrown the walkie-talkie aside and didn't think about charging it at all.

"The supermarket will open tomorrow. Are you going to buy something? I heard it will only be open for one day. If you miss it, I don't know when it will be open again next time."

The supermarket has been closed for more than a month.

When the snow was being cleared, I heard from people in the community that the government had taken over all supermarkets in the city and they were able to open for business, which showed that the government departments had regained control of order in the capital.

"Go take a look and buy whatever you want. I will bring you something later."

Thinking that Zuo Ling was talking about the supplies obtained by the doomsday theorists, Professor Jin said "Oh" to indicate that he understood.

After clearing the snow, Zuo Ling dragged a large suitcase to Professor Jin's house. Professor Jin and his wife were stunned when they looked at a large box of one hundred and one thousand yuan bills.

The house they live in was bought by their son, who is a rich man, but not the old couple.

The son pays the property and heating bills, and other expenses such as water, electricity, gas, and living expenses. They have a salary and have no need for the son.

When my son gives me money, I treat it as saving it for him and never spending it. I have never seen so much money.

"I got it from the villa security guard, half of our family."

Zuo Ling had always refused to accept people from thousands of miles away. Professor Jin and his wife were quite surprised when he came so suddenly:

"You got this by virtue of your ability. We, the couple, can't have it."

The old couple are not greedy for money and are unwilling to accept benefits for free.

"It's been snowing for so long and it hasn't stopped. Do you think it's normal?"

Of course not normal!

But what does this have to do with money? The second elder didn't understand what Zuo Ling meant.

"Transportation is cut off, and supplies from outside cannot come in. There are fewer and fewer supplies available, and the prices are definitely getting more and more expensive. Please help me spend this money, and we will split the supplies in exchange for half."

Zuo Ling was afraid that he would not be able to spend all the money, and he was also afraid that if it took too long, the government would declare banknotes invalid.

She remembered clearly that in her previous life, one year after the end of the world, the government announced that banknotes were invalid, and public opinion was in an uproar.

It was hard for her to accept this as a poor person, let alone from a wealthy family, but she couldn't tell Professor Jin and his wife clearly.

Researcher Tang wanted to refuse, but Professor Jin stopped her.

"We will get [-]% of the supplies you buy, and the rest is yours."

Having dealt with Zuo Ling several times, Professor Jin knew that Zuo Ling was not a loser, so there must be something wrong with him if he suddenly gave up his profits.

Haolai was a friend who had killed people together, so he believed that Zuo Ling would not cheat him.

Only by knowing what is appropriate and not being greedy can both parties continue to cooperate for a long time.

Zuo Ling didn't refuse anymore, made an appointment, said goodbye and left.

After she left, Professor Jin said to his wife:

"How much cash does our family have? Use it all to stock up on supplies."

Banks have not been open since the government announced widespread shutdowns.

I was smart and went to the ATM early to withdraw cash for backup.

The response was slow, and by the time I figured it out, the ATM could no longer withdraw money.

There was a power outage and the Internet was cut off. Cards could not be swiped, and merchants only accepted cash purchases.

Researcher Tang said: "There are still more than 5 yuan."

Keep some cash as New Year's money for your children and grandchildren, and as gifts for old friends and relatives.

The second son and his family said they would come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The eldest son and the third son made an appointment to come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Several old colleagues planned to have a fun time together.

It snowed continuously and everything was ruined.

Early the next morning, Zuo Ling went downstairs early and met Professor Jin and his wife.

The old couple carried three shopping trolleys, and Zuo Ling took two.

Professor Jin said: "Let's drive the pickup truck cross-country. I'll hook up the trailer to the rear bucket."

The pickup truck he was talking about going cross-country was the one he drove back from Doomsday.

The car has been modified, is bulletproof, and is not afraid of rolling nails. It is indeed a good travel tool.

Zuo Ling drove, and Professor Jin and his wife sat in the back seat.

Before arriving, he saw a huge crowd of people from a distance, and several rows of soldiers with live ammunition maintaining order. Zuo Ling parked his car as close as possible to the soldiers.

When I got off the car, I saw a huge notice board outside the supermarket.

The three people quickly sorted out the required information from the notice board:

When purchasing supplies with your ID card, each person is limited to one purchase.

It can be purchased on behalf of others, supplied in different areas, and sold in bundles. No selection is allowed. You get what you get.

The price list is simple and crude:

Grain and oil 1/portion, non-staple food 1/portion, condiments 5/portion, snacks 8/portion, water (beverage) 5/portion, toiletries 5/portion, and disinfection supplies 5/portion.

Items not listed are purchased at unit price, and only cash and gold settlements are accepted.

If settled in gold, each gram of gold is equivalent to 200 yuan.

Before the end of the world, gold rose to 390 yuan/gram, which was half the price.

The outrageous prices surprised Professor Jin and his wife. The cash in their hands was only enough to buy 5 supplies, while Zuo Ling looked like he had known it would be like this.

Many people who had finished shopping complained while walking:

"It's ridiculously expensive. I said I wouldn't buy it, but you said yes. How can such a small thing be worth so much money?"

"Heavy snow keeps falling, traffic is cut off, and materials cannot enter the city. They will only become more and more expensive in the future. You listen to me and keep it right."

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive. This little bit of food is only enough to feed the family for a month, so we have to be careful about our budget."

"Fortunately, I prepared some cash, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy anything."

"Oh, I have so much money. What should I do? How can I live my life?"

……

The three of them looked over and saw a five-pound bag of rice and noodles, a 5-liter bucket of oil, and a 450-gram bag of soybeans and red beans.

The supplies each person received were somewhat different. For example, the person who just passed by received mung beans and barley.

The ones that followed were black rice and peanuts.

The eyes of the old couple almost dropped to the ground. Is this a grain and oil set worth 1 yuan? ? !

Looking at the non-staple food set, there are three cans each of luncheon meat and black bean dace, 20 ham sausages, two packs of ten individually wrapped buns, and 10 compressed biscuits.

Some non-staple food sets come with canned fruits and freeze-dried foods.

1 yuan! Professor Jin and his wife's heart, liver, spleen and lungs twitched into a ball.

Don't look at the condiment set, there's definitely nothing there.

Professor Jin asked Zuo Ling: "It's too expensive, do you still want to buy it?"

"If you don't buy it, it will be more expensive in the future. You won't be able to buy it even if you want to."

Researcher Tang's lips trembled. After all, the money was just for free, so I don't feel bad.

Just buy it, it's not their money anyway.

The policy is set, and if you buy three ID cards, you won’t be able to buy much.

When the couple was worried about the limit of one purchase per person, they saw Zuo Ling taking out a stack of ID cards.

After flipping through a few photos, Professor Jin immediately felt bad. The photos looked familiar...they were all lying in the snow!

When did the girl find someone else's ID card? Her Adam's apple stretched and contracted, she opened her mouth, and finally suppressed her words.

My heart said, too cruel! Even though everyone is dead, they still want to extract the surplus value.

If it weren't for the fear of being sued, there would still be many ID cards in Zuo Ling's space that haven't been taken out.

Including the three of them, there are a total of 33 ID cards.

Professor Jin and his wife had always called Miss Zuo Ling, and they only knew Zuo Ling's name after looking at her ID card.

The old couple was responsible for queuing up to buy, and Zuo Ling was responsible for transporting it to the car.
