Chapter 2 Natural disaster is coming, speed up preparation
"The end of the world..."
Hearing the words in the system, Zhuang Chen couldn't help but murmur softly.
Just then, the sky began to darken slightly.
Looking up, Zhuang Chen immediately discovered.
In the sky not far away, the sun that should have been bright was actually encroached by a shadow.
Is this... a total solar eclipse?
It shouldn't be!
If there was a total solar eclipse in the past, wouldn't the various meteorological stations have issued a statement a week ago?
Why would they wait until now?
So the only explanation Zhuang Chen could think of was that the doomsday described in the system was really coming!
This is not the time to hesitate.
We must do our best to prepare everything that should be prepared to welcome the arrival of the doomsday!
So, Zhuang Chen drove his broken pickup truck directly to the nearby town without saying a word!
We must buy more supplies before everyone else!
Because it is in the suburbs, it will take at least half an hour to get to the city.
When Zhuang Chen arrived in the city, the scene of people frantically buying things as he imagined did not appear.
On the contrary, there were countless passers-by taking selfies with their mobile phones on the streets.
From time to time, people would discuss the total solar eclipse in the sky.
The end of the world is coming, and you are not afraid? You are just traveling!
But Zhuang Chen didn't care about that. He hurried to a supermarket and directly emptied all the food that could be purchased here.
Whether it was rice, cooked food, various compressed foods, or snacks, drinking water.
As long as he could see it, he would buy it all!
Then, Zhuang Chen didn't let go of the pickled Jinhua ham, pickled vegetables, etc.
After buying enough food for him to eat for two years, Zhuang Chen left with satisfaction.
After that, after packing up his things, he set out from home again and came to the hardware store in the town.
When he came to a confused boss, Zhuang Chen asked directly.
"Boss, how much do you sell the steel bars? If I pay more, can you deliver them to my house today?"
This...
The boss looked at Zhuang Chen for the first time and asked after seeing such an anxious customer.
"How much do you want, brother?"
"Let's start with a few dozen tons."
It's not a small order.
The boss nodded and said directly.
"The current market price of steel bars is different. What I have here is rebar, which is about 4,000 per ton.
If you rush, I can arrange for someone to deliver it, but you have to pay me 500 yuan more per ton."
This price is not very cheap, but Zhuang Chen agreed without hesitation.
At the same time, he asked the boss if there were any technicians he knew here.
He wanted to lock all the steel bars outside his farm before the end of the world.
After hearing Zhuang Chen's question, the boss hesitated for a moment and still nodded.
"I know a group of people who can do it as long as they are paid, but they are not cheap. The daily wage alone is five or six hundred, but they are definitely the most professional."
What we want is professionalism!
Hearing the boss's words, Zhuang Chen was overjoyed.
"Let them come to this address immediately. No matter how much money they have, I will double the price!"
Huh!
Hearing Zhuang Chen's words, the boss opposite was stunned.
Unexpectedly, this guy is actually a local tyrant!
After Zhuang Chen finished everything, he immediately came to the gas station.
Without saying a word, he carried the oil barrel and bought dozens of barrels of diesel here.
There are two diesel generators in the studio at home. Because living in the suburbs, sometimes there will be power outages.
When the doomsday comes, the surrounding power plants may no longer be able to supply electricity.
This requires Zhuang Chen to ensure that other power supply equipment at home can be used.
Afterwards, Zhuang Chen bought some "weapons" that can be purchased from the market, which are actually cold weapons.
Here, he still bought it from his former acquaintances.
Unfortunately, if there were hot weapons, Zhuang Chen would be more relieved.
After Zhuang Chen finally finished everything.
When he returned home, a group of workers had already arrived at the farm gate.
Judging from their appearance, they should be the group of people called by the hardware store owner.
Zhuang Chen took out a few packs of cigarettes he bought when he came back without saying a word and handed them to the workers.
"Everyone, please work hard. Please work overtime and strive for one day to tie all the wooden guardrails at the door of my house with steel bars.
Knowing that this project is big, I will never treat you unfairly. Within 15 hours, every hour you finish the site ahead of schedule, I will double your salary on the basis of your original work!"
Hiss...
After hearing Zhuang Chen's strange request, all the workers probably saw such an employer for the first time.
One by one, their eyes widened.
And the leading contractor also swallowed his saliva, then came to his senses and waved to the people behind him.
"What are you guys waiting for! Tonight, we have to complete all the tasks even if we have to use searchlights!
Get moving! If I find out who is slacking off, I will kill you!"
After saying that, the leading contractor handed a business card to Zhuang Chen.
"Brother, I can see that you are a rare talent. If you have such orders in the future, please call me."
Seeing the name on the business card - Wang Dong.
Zhuang Chen nodded.
Seeing that the countdown was less than 15 hours, Zhuang Chen still felt a little worried.
No, he had to go to the market to get some more food!
So, when a group of workers were working hard in Zhuang Chen's farm, they were surprised to find that.
The owner of this farm seemed to be crazy and kept buying food from the market.
All kinds of food were transported to the warehouse at home by the other party in batches.
The originally empty granary was being filled up by Zhuang Chen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Da Huang to Liu Huang and others on the side whimpered and barked.
Zhuang Chen remembered that he didn't seem to prepare lunch for them today.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking at the food in the granary, Zhuang Chen looked satisfied.
After stroking Da Huang's head, Zhuang Chen laughed.
"Come on, I'll prepare some good food for you. I think we won't be short of food and drinking water in the next five years."
Just like that, the man and the dog returned home.
In such a large farm, only the sound of workers working could be heard.
When Zhuang Chen woke up the next day, a group of workers were looking at him flatteringly.
Take a look.
Wuhu!
The entire farm was actually finished by this group of people working overtime!
