Chapter 15: Continue to Hoard Supplies
"I ordered two thousand gallons of 20 liters of water, two thousand of 10 liters, a thousand boxes of one liter, and a thousand boxes of half a liter. These are already in the warehouse in the suburbs. I also agreed with the CEO of the water tanks company to have the tanks delivered to the warehouse in two days. But, how are we going to fill those water tanks? Even if we bring one home, it will take time to fill, let alone 50."
"I have an idea. There is a water reservoir in Pearl City, my mother and I wanted to go there to buy seafood, and I also wanted to buy motor boats and rubber boats there. But, maybe instead of going with my mother, I can go with my brother. We can sneak into the water reservoir at night and fill the water tanks. We just have to buy a few pumping machines. Those tanks will be full in a couple of days."
"I like Bunny’s idea. Going to the water reservoir is better than filling those tanks with a tap." Chu Hao supported this idea a lot. He wanted to spend some time with his sister alone before things became unbearable and they couldn’t go anywhere.
"But won’t that affect the people of the surrounding cities? That water reservoir supplies water to several cities." Her mother wanted to object.
"Mom, once the apocalypse starts and there are floods, the water in that reservoir will become unusable. We might as well take it before it becomes contaminated." Chu Miao showed off her apocalyptic knowledge here.
"Alright then, you guys can go to Pearl City once we are done buying clothes and food."
After everyone had reported their progress, it was on to other matters.
"Grandpa, did you and second grandpa take the marrow cleansing pill? How do you feel?"
"We took it and we are fine. Indeed we had a lot of impurities in our bodies. It took me almost two hours to wash off that gore."
"Then when do you guys want to start cultivating?" Chu Miao asked. She planned to start tonight. She had already felt a faint spiritual energy when she was in the hospital, and after marrow cleansing, she was sure she could attract spiritual energy into her body in one night.
"I think the earlier we start the better. This way, when the apocalypse starts, we won’t be helpless. So, let’s start tonight." After Grandpa made the decision, no one objected.
"Okay, everyone, go and shower, then let’s meet here in the study at 10.00 PM. I have to go instruct the kitchen to buy more ingredients and make many varieties of dishes before we set them free." After mother Chu said that she got up and left. Everyone else followed suit and went to shower.
