Bai Yaoyao opened 1988, first gave the shelving seller her warehouse address, then ordered fifty thousand cups of White Elephant braised beef noodles.
She had already stocked up on plenty of other instant foods in R Country, so she did not buy them in bulk again. She only ordered some more of the flavors she and the guys particularly liked.
For clothing, she found a style similar to combat uniforms and had ten thousand sets custom-made in every size.
She also stocked various kinds of everyday clothes, from baby bodysuits to padded jackets for the elderly. Most were sportswear, with some casual styles as well.
She bought ten thousand sets each of sun-protective clothing, cold-weather clothing, raincoats, and rain boots.
Then she returned to the app's home page and started browsing the recommendations.
Chocolate? Buy it!
High-end cigarettes and liquor? Buy them!
Baby diapers? Buy them!
Pure sea buckthorn juice? Buy it!
Baseball bats? Buy them!
All kinds of paper, pens, and notebooks? Buy them!
Big speakers? Buy them!
All kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs? Buy them!
Bai Yaoyao kept checking for gaps in her supplies. If something might possibly be useful, she bought it without exception.
Unlimited spending was so much fun that Peiqi had practically gone numb from signing for deliveries over the past few days. What was Sister Yaoyao planning?
(|| ﾟДﾟ)
Was she giving up on having any money left to live on, or what?
Peiqi hurriedly transferred every last bit of her own money to Bai Yaoyao, afraid she might hold up whatever important business Sister Yaoyao was handling.
As Bai Yaoyao watched her bank balance shrink, she felt increasingly reassured. Yesterday, after realizing she still had money to spare, she had transferred another billion Huaguo yuan to Fat Brother and told him to spend it all on bombs. Those things were incredibly useful.
Combined with her Spatial Ability, which she could use from two hundred meters away, deploying them during a zombie siege would make for a spectacular sight.
Bai Yaoyao did not stop her spending frenzy until she had only one million left in her account.
Spending money was just so exhausting!
Bai Yaoyao lay on the big bed inside her space, snuggled comfortably under the covers, and was just about to take a nap.
Her phone rang.
[Swiss Bank] October 26, 23:55. Dear valued VIP customer, your card ending in 0699 has received 120000000.00 Huaguo yuan. Your balance is 1201000000 yuan. Exercise caution when transferring funds and beware of fraud.
A string of text notifications came flooding in.
The guys had transferred all their money to her.
Bai Yaoyao: (・・)
Fine, no sleeping. Back to the shopping spree. Food, drinks, clothes, supplies-stock up on more! Here's hoping I can spend it all again!
At five in the morning, Bai Yaoyao yawned and fell asleep, but she still had not spent all the money. Her abilities had failed her. She could not even spend money properly anymore.
Bai Yaoyao slept until noon before finally getting up.
She checked the date: November 1. Right, her birthday. More precisely, it was the day her master had found her and Fat Brother and taken them in.
Bai Yaoyao freshened up, put on a practical set of sportswear, and tied her hair into a high ponytail. She drove to Jade Ravine Mountain. Today, she was going to meet someone very important-someone who had saved her life.
After arriving, Bai Yaoyao immediately began climbing. Since it was still very early, almost everyone around her was an elderly person out for morning exercise. She deliberately avoided the crowds and took an undeveloped trail.
Bai Yaoyao liked climbing mountains. She liked looking down from the summit, and she liked the scent of wild grass and trees all around her.
She had come hiking on this day in her previous life too, though not early in the morning, so there had been quite a few people. She hated crowds and had taken a different route to find some peace and quiet.
Halfway up the mountain, she had found someone caught on the slope. If a tree had not happened to stop him, he probably would have rolled straight down the mountain and died.
Curious, Bai Yaoyao had gone over to take a look and discovered that he was still breathing. She had looked up at the steep mountainside and remarked on how lucky he was.
Normally, given Bai Yaoyao's temperament, she would have taken one look at most and left. But she had killed so many people recently that she had grown numb to it, and whenever she closed her eyes, all she saw was blood. She had wanted to do a good deed on her birthday. Besides, this man...
Well. He was pretty good-looking...
So she had helped drag him onto level ground, stopped the bleeding, given him some basic treatment, and finally called 120.
Then she had forgotten all about it.
After the Apocalypse began, zombies had once separated her from her teammates. While fleeing for her life, she had accidentally fallen into the Ant Nest. Just when she thought she was done for, this man had saved her.
But she had been poisoned by the ants and was barely conscious. By the time she woke up, her teammates were all around her, and the man was gone again.
Later, she had miraculously been rescued from danger once more. Although she did not know who had saved her, she had always felt that this man had something to do with it.
So in this life, Bai Yaoyao had carefully timed her visit and come to Jade Ravine Mountain first thing in the morning.
She wanted to see if she could find him a little earlier. This time, she would see her good deed through and take him straight to the hospital!
But even after searching the entire mountain, she had not seen a soul. She had seen plenty of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, though. Bai Yaoyao thought she might have remembered the location incorrectly. After all, ten years had passed, and her memories were not very clear.
Yet Bai Yaoyao searched everywhere she could find until eight that evening and still saw no sign of him. Forget it. Time to leave. Even if she really had missed him, he would have bled to death by now.
Bai Yaoyao could not help feeling a growing sense of urgency. She did not know whether this was a butterfly effect caused by her rebirth, but even before the Apocalypse began, events had already diverged from her previous life.
She went back, cleared away the traces of her stay, and booked a ticket to go find Fat Brother.
The weapons and medicine had already been purchased, but getting them into Huaguo would be difficult, so the exchange took place in E Country. They were dealing with a longtime partner, and the transaction went smoothly without any surprises.
After telling Fat Brother to notify the guys immediately and have them get to H City as quickly as possible to gather at Peiqi's place, Bai Yaoyao went to Iraq to find Stone.
She could not reach Stone throughout the journey. The phone message said his service had been suspended for unpaid bills, which left Bai Yaoyao terribly anxious, worried that something might have happened to him.
Only after killing several gang bosses did she learn Stone's whereabouts. He was perfectly fine-he just had no money to top up his phone.
Bai Yaoyao quietly slipped the knife in her hand into her pocket. She thought about those gang bosses who had died for nothing. Oh well. I'll burn some spirit money for you when I have time.
After Bai Yaoyao collected the oil Stone had "bought," she told him to hurry back home. Watching everything vanish in an instant as though Bai Yaoyao had performed a magic trick, Stone's eternally impassive face finally showed a change in expression.
"Sister Yaoyao, I..."
Bai Yaoyao cut him off. "I'll explain to all of you when we get back. Hurry back home."
"No, Sister Yaoyao, you..." Stone still wanted to ask.
"There's no time to talk, Brother Stone. I still have to go to Los Angeles to find Monkey. We'll talk back home!" With that, Bai Yaoyao hurried away.
Watching Bai Yaoyao leave at lightning speed, Stone sighed helplessly and murmured, "I was trying to say I'm broke. I can't afford a plane ticket."
Stone thought for a moment, then turned his gaze toward the gangs Sister Yaoyao had not wiped out yet. Borrowing enough for a plane ticket wouldn't be asking too much, would it...?
