"Everyone else, start creating a list of things that we will need to survive in all kinds of environments, and we will start buying tonight. Start making phone calls. We don’t have time to waste." He added. He had become the great general again. Chu Miao could not help but smile.
"Grandpa, here’s your sword, I will return it to you. You will need it in the future."
"Thank you, Bunny; I am grateful I have had you as my granddaughter for two lives already."
"mmm... I am happy too grandpa. I can fight again side by side with you on the same battlefield. By the way everyone. I think while we stockpile on supplies, we should work on getting stronger. I still have the elixirs and herbs grandpa had given me in ancient times. Among them are bone marrow cleansing pills, spirit awakening pills, and spirit gathering pills. They can help us become cultivators, which will give us an edge over others and any monsters that might arise."
"Bunny, will it work? And are the pills still effective?" It was Chu Hao who couldn’t help asking.
"What do you know, didn’t I say the time in the storage area is static. Even the dishes mother cooked for me in the general’s mansion before going on my last battle are still hot after thousands of years, what are pills?"
"Dishes are hot after thousands of years?" Even her grandfather almost had his jaw dropping to the ground.
"Of course, let me show you." As she finished speaking, a plate appeared on the table. It was a porcelain plate that would be considered a valuable antique in this era. Yet it was sitting on the table with a meat dish in it.
"It smells so refreshing, what kind of meat is this? And it is indeed still hot." Chu Hao stretched out his hand to pick a piece of meat but the plate disappeared along with the meat.
"You can’t eat that meat now. Even I don’t dare to eat it. That is beast meat, and even though it belongs to a low-level demon beast, the energy it contains is too much for our current bodies to withstand. If you eat it you will explode and die due to the large amount of energy surging in your body. So, don’t eat things randomly until we have started cultivating and you can refine the energy you obtain from the food or fruits."
"Alright, let’s do as Bunny says, but little Bunny, I have old injuries from my time in the military, and it might not be easy to start cultivating."
" Don’t worry, grandpa, I have a pill to take care of your old injuries in one night." She had quite a number of these low-level pills.
"In one night? How is that even possible? The injuries have persisted in grandpa’s body for decades and they can heal in just a night?" Chu Hao really felt like he had heard many unbelievable things today. From reincarnation to traveling through time and space, to having things start fresh for thousands of years, and now severe injuries that can heal in one night. Really unbelievable.
"Of course, the medical technology in the modern era has advanced a lot, but it’s all Western, and people have neglected traditional medicine. But traditional medicine is more effective in curing the cause of diseases and injuries other than just the symptoms. But another reason is that this world no longer has sufficient spiritual energy to grow spiritual herbs. But I don’t lack those."
"With grandpa’s injuries, a one-rank two pill is enough to heal them completely, and I have lots of them. I just remembered that I have lots of space rings I collected on the battlefield while killing enemies; they are my spoils of war. I never got to check them, but I am sure there are more pills in them."
"You can take them out and we will help you sort them out." Chu Hao mentioned.
"Yes, sweetheart, you don’t have to do everything yourself; we can help in whatever we possibly can." Her mother added.
"Okay, I will depend on you guys, but that will have to wait until we start cultivating as we need spiritual sense to open the space rings."
"Okay, everyone, let’s get to work; we need to start buying whatever we can. I will contact one of the generals who used to be my subordinate to purchase armored vehicles and possibly a helicopter. Those that have been decommissioned are easy to buy. But Chu Hao will be responsible for weapons; we can’t buy them through the military because our government prohibits ownership of guns, but we will need them." Grandpa Chu started making the arrangements.
"I will use my business connections to buy daily necessities and appliances; we will need them, right?" Chu Mo asked as he got up to pick up his phone.
Following her knowledge of the apocalypse obtained from novels, Chu Miao gave him a different idea.
"Daddy, once the apocalypse starts, most of the shops selling electronic appliances will be ignored. Don’t waste money on those; once we get through the first disaster, we can go scavenge, and I am sure we will get high-quality appliances for zero-dollar shopping. How about you find a way to acquire large-capacity water tanks, solar panels, and batteries? I don’t think there will be clean water to use once the apocalypse starts. I have a spiritual spring in my space ring, but we can’t use it for bathing and washing clothes. It can only be used for drinking and cooking."
"Huh!! Bunny is right, why didn’t I think of that? Fortunately, you reminded me. One of our suppliers owns a water company. I’ll contact him to supply us with purified water, and then I’ll get water tanks from someone else. I think fifty water tanks with a capacity of 50 tons each will be enough, and we can fill them within the next 28 days."
