Chapter 7
She took this opportunity to check on the generators.
Originally, she had planned to buy two, but after looking at the prices, they were all quite expensive.
High-power, high-efficiency ones could cost up to one or two million, while the cheaper ones were still in the range of 100,000 to 200,000.
The cheaper ones would certainly not have as good a lifespan.
After some thought, she decided to opt for renting instead.
After noting down the owner's phone number, she retreated to a secluded spot and began talking to him using a voice changer.
She rented for two days, getting two 5000kW generators and three 1000kW ones, with the rental fee coming to just under 13,000.
However, she had to put down a 100,000 deposit.
Even including the deposit, it was still much cheaper than buying.
She asked the owner to deliver the generators to the warehouse between 7:30 and 8:00 the next morning.
At 10 PM, she went to the cake shop as agreed.
She used her little cart, taking the cakes in batches.
When the shop assistant offered to help, she flatly refused.
Using her small frame, she dragged the cakes to a secluded spot and quietly stored them in her spatial storage.
After repeating this process, she finally took away all twenty-five cakes from the first batch.
At 3 AM, a tiny figure appeared in front of a 4S car dealership.
Learning from her previous experience, Yun Xiaoxiao directly shot out all the nearby security cameras with a silenced gun.
If anyone had seen a five-year-old child shooting with such a fierce gaze and perfect accuracy, their jaws would have dropped in shock.
Yun Xiaoxiao broke in, and the alarm immediately went off.
Without blinking an eye, she smashed the alarm system.
Then, with lightning speed, she destroyed all the surveillance cameras inside, leaving not even a scrap behind.
Next, she swiftly stored all the vehicles in the shop into her spatial storage at the fastest speed possible.
She didn't spare even the sofas, water dispensers, or potted plants.
It was like a bandit raid.
In less than twenty minutes, the shop was completely empty.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction and sauntered out before the police could arrive in response to the alarm.
...
"What did you say? Say that again!"
Yun Shaokai, woken up in the middle of the night, was already in a foul mood. When he heard the content of the phone call, he nearly exploded with rage.
"Mr. Yun Shaokai, your 4S dealership has just been robbed. Everything in the store is gone. Would it be convenient for you to come over now?" the police officer patiently repeated.
Yun Shaokai smashed his phone to the ground with a 'bang'.
The device immediately shattered into pieces.
The fury in his eyes was about to burst into flames.
Who the hell was it?!
Someone had been sabotaging him from the shadows!
Yun Shaokai raced to the store in his car.
A police car with flashing lights was parked there.
Three officers were inside collecting evidence.
Another officer, seeing Yun Shaokai arrive, walked up to him and began the routine questioning.
"Mr. Yun, these two incidents at your properties clearly indicate that someone is deliberately targeting you. Have you offended anyone recently?"
But these words seemed to touch a nerve in Yun Shaokai.
He immediately exploded in anger, shouting, "What are you police good for? It's been how many days since the supermarket case, and still no progress?!
And this store, it was connected to your alarm system, so how could those criminals so easily take everything away?
Why?!"
The police officer frowned, "Mr. Yun, please calm down. We can assure you that we set out immediately when the first alarm sounded.
We also don't know how the perpetrators managed to remove everything in such a short time, which is why we're investigating, aren't we?
We hope you can cooperate with us so we can get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible."
Yun Shaokai kicked a tire, venting his anger.
The next day, Yun Xiaoxiao woke up very early.
After breakfast, she thoroughly scoured the villa inside and out, making sure not even a broken bowl was left behind, before leaving.
From today on, she wouldn't be living here anymore.
Before leaving, she glanced at the neighboring house.
The renovations were in their final stages and should be completed by 7 PM.
After leaving, she first went to the warehouse to collect the generators.
Then, she hit the streets.
She planned to spend all her remaining money, enjoying the peace and beauty of the pre-apocalyptic world...
She ate tanghulu and cotton candy from street vendors.
She also bought many foods she couldn't eat yet, like spicy snail noodles, stinky tofu, fried potatoes, liangfen, cold noodles, bobo chicken, and barbecue.
She couldn't eat them now, but she could when she grew older.
Afterwards, she went to the amusement park in the city center and rode the bumper cars, carousel, and little train - things she had never experienced in her previous life.
All around her, laughter and joy permeated the air. Only she remained silent, like a little old lady.
Because she knew that after tonight, the whole world would turn into a living hell.
The laughter would be gone, replaced only by cries and screams...
It was too joyful here; Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to stay long and left after a short while.
She opened WeChat, dictated a message, then logged into Weibo and copied and pasted it under the top three news items on every trending page.
[If you see a blood moon tonight, please prepare supplies and weapons, and hide in a safe place with few people, preferably alone, because the apocalypse is coming, and the people next to you might turn into man-eating monsters.]
She suddenly remembered the policewoman who had shown concern for her, so she sent a special text message to her.
Even if they investigated, they would only trace it back to that unfortunate driver, not to her.
Besides, even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't have much chance now.
She had done what she could; whether people believed it or not, how many more could survive, was no longer her concern.
She could warn them as long as it didn't threaten her own interests.
But if, after the apocalypse, she was asked to risk her life to save others for no reason, she was very sorry, but she might not be that kind-hearted.
Yun Xiaoxiao wandered around some more, buying things she thought might be useful.
After 6 PM, she first went to the cake shop to collect the last batch of cakes, then headed to the auto repair shop to pick up her car.
"Big brother, is the car ready?" Yun Xiaoxiao looked up, asking sweetly with a smile.
"Hey, little one, you're here." The young man poked his head out from under the hood, looking down at the little figure by his feet.
"The car's ready, it's over there."
Yun Xiaoxiao followed his gaze.
The previous large SUV had been completely transformed!
A V-shaped iron shovel had been added to the front, looking sharp and imposing. The body was surrounded by steel pipes, completely sealing off the doors and windows, and covered in large spikes all around.
"As you requested earlier, the entire body has been replaced with bulletproof material. Those spikes can be freely extended and retracted. They could even impale a bull.
The entrance to the car is on the roof.
There are six buttons on the front, corresponding to six large steel pipes at the front, back, left, and right of the car. Press one, and the corresponding pipe will shoot out flames."
After explaining, the young man personally drove the car outside for a demonstration.
However, because the gas and brake pedals had been raised significantly, his feet were curled up, looking somewhat comical.
Seeing the car easily flip over a large oil drum filled with rocks, and the six large steel pipes around the car spewing out roaring flames, Yun Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a smile.
This was the super battle car she wanted!
She generously transferred 1.2 million to the man's account.
"Little one, why does this car look like it's meant for killing zombies?" the young man chuckled.
He also enjoyed watching zombie movies, so when he saw the blueprints, he was quite excited and even added some of his own ideas, improving it significantly.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled, mixing truth with jest, "Who knows, maybe zombies will be everywhere tomorrow?"
"Wow, you even know about zombies, that's interesting."
Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and asked, "Can I take a look inside?"
"Of course."
So, Yun Xiaoxiao climbed up the external ladder to the roof, then entered the car and went to the driver's seat.
The seat had been raised considerably as per her request, with a foam cushion added.
She adjusted her posture and tested the feel, very satisfied.
She started the engine, stepped on the gas, and the car immediately drove off.
The young man slapped his thigh in shock.
"Damn! She's actually driving it herself!"
Now he understood why there were such strange modification requests for the brakes, gas pedal, and seat!
He anxiously took a couple of steps in pursuit, shouting, "Little one, minors can't drive!"
But Yun Xiaoxiao could no longer hear these words.
Even if she had heard them, she wouldn't have cared.
It was the end of the world, after all. Who could be bothered with such trivial matters anymore?
