The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies

Chapter 5: 005 upgraded to Level 2 storage



Thinking of this, Hua Mi glanced at the time and realized it coincided with Singles' Day!!!

She hurriedly opened the shopping website and found the cheapest kind of bagged instant noodles, the kind that averaged out to about eighty or ninety cents each.

That was about the same as the supplier's price.

She immediately, and painfully, opened a discount card, the kind where spending a few hundred dollars meant saving a few dollars, plus the Singles' Day sale, which meant saving an additional thirty dollars on purchases over three hundred across different stores. After much scrimping and saving, she finally managed to reduce the price of the bagged instant noodles to fifty cents per pack.

She placed an online order for a thousand dollars' worth of braised beef flavored instant noodles.

She also ordered a thousand dollars' worth of other flavors: pickled cabbage, pork bone with kelp, and rich bone broth...

Just a short distance from Hua Mi's apocalypse supermarket, an earthquake had passed not long ago, toppling a factory that produced mineral water bottles.

With people still trapped underground in the community, Gong Yi led the rescue team, rushing on the road to save people at the factory.

Hua Mi waited a whole night in the supermarket, but the supplier didn't deliver the ten thousand packs of instant noodles.

When she called to inquire, she learned that another earthquake had occurred nearby; delivery trucks simply couldn't get close to the supermarket and had to park far away.

This time, the workers were unwilling to carry the goods over such a distance.

Hua Mi sighed, simply pulled down the supermarket's shutter, and walked out of the ruins on foot to see for herself what the situation was like outside.

She only found out after coming out that several streets around had their buildings collapsed, and all the people had been moved by the rescue team to a nearby park.

Hua Mi walked for over an hour before she had fully traversed the expanse of rubble.

Occasionally, she encountered a survivor moving about freely, all of them sighing and remarking how terrible the aftershocks were.

Some were digging through the ruins of their homes, salvaging usable items, and every now and then, shouting loudly,

"Our house was shaken to this state; the government has to spend money to build us a big villa."

Others scavenging for their possessions nodded in agreement, continuously calculating the cost of compensation in their heads.

Hua Mi walked past without saying a word, just shaking her head in silence.

It was just the beginning. Soon, government buildings would be buried under heavy snow. What compensation could they expect?

"Miss Hua."

The driver of a truck ahead vigorously waved at her. He was the delivery driver who was supposed to bring the instant noodles from the supplier to Hua Mi.

Now his truck was trapped in the rubble, unable to move forward or back.

By the time Hua Mi had treaded over the broken stones to get there, the truck driver was cursing his bad luck,

"The road ahead is damaged by the earthquake, and the road behind as well. It's just too difficult to get this big truck out of here."

Hua Mi carried two boxes of instant noodles out of the truck's cargo space and stuffed them into the driver's arms,

"It's been hard on you, master. This is for you to eat. Take it back with you, and just leave the truck here for now. When the municipal Clearing Team comes and clears the road, I'll call you."

Though that's what she said, Hua Mi knew that this call would probably never be made.

She remembered from her previous life, after the snowstorm came the earthquake, starting with small ones and ending with the demolition of an entire city.

Not just her own X city would be shattered, but other cities as well.

So this truck being trapped here probably meant it would remain trapped here forever, with no road left open for such a big truck anymore.

The truck driver held the two boxes of instant noodles, muttering to himself for a while, then reiterated to Hua Mi,

"Then when the Clearing Team has cleared the road, give me a call."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Hua Mi smiled and reminded the driver once more,

"Take care of the instant noodles, don't give them away."

They could save lives at a critical moment.

The truck driver didn't even turn his head, and it wasn't clear whether he heard her as he directly left with two boxes of instant noodles.

He even forgot to take the keys out of the ignition.

Hua Mi shook her head, climbed up into the truck bed, and began to try to put all the instant noodles into her Level 1 storage from a distance.

Amazingly, she could.

She seemed very pleased as she quickly stowed all ten thousand packs of instant noodles into her Level 1 storage.

Then, she jumped down to look at the large truck.

Wow, what a pity, her Level 1 storage was now completely full; otherwise, she could have put the truck inside as well.

This inevitably made Hua Mi think of the conditions for upgrading to Level 2 storage again; she couldn't upgrade because she hadn't hoarded enough.

The storage had to be stuffed to the brim, without leaving a single corner empty, to count as having enough hoarded.

Immediately, Hua Mi called her supplier and ordered forty thousand bottles of mineral water.

The supplier shouted amidst the noisy background on the other end of the phone,

"No can do, I can't ship out that much stock, we don't have any mineral water bottles, so we can't produce bottled mineral water."

At first, Hua Mi felt a bit disappointed, but she quickly remembered that her "Apocalypse Factory" could produce mineral water bottles.

"I have mineral water bottles, wait a moment."

Hanging up the phone, Hua Mi immediately brought up her "management panel."

This was a new function Hua Mi had discovered; she didn't necessarily have to be in the supermarket to use these magical features of the "apocalypse supermarket."

For example, right now, she was standing in the truck bed and was able to bring up her "management panel" directly.

She searched through the panel, found the Level 1 factory, and clicked on "Produce Mineral Water Bottle x40000."

A green energy bar appeared above the icon for the Level 1 factory, slowly depleting bit by bit.

Hua Mi glanced at it but, not knowing what it was, didn't pay much attention to it.

After a while, her Level 1 storage notified her,

"Level 1 Storage: Added 1000 Mineral Water Bottles, hoarding conditions fulfilled, upgrade to Level 2 Storage (space 2x1)."

So, it turned out that if she filled up her storage space, it would be upgraded.

Then what was she waiting for? She just needed to keep producing mineral water bottles and hoarding supplies.

Elated, Hua Mi immediately gave another command to the Level 1 factory to produce "Mineral Water Bottle x100000."

Looking again at the green energy bar above the Level 1 factory, it continued to decrease, and in a short while, a large chunk had gone.

Hua Mi still didn't mind, just standing in the empty truck bed, and with a wave of her hand, the original 1000 empty mineral water bottles from the storage were neatly stacked in the corner.

So, not only could she store supplies in the storage from a distance, but she could also take them out from a distance.

Thus, while the Level 1 factory was still producing mineral water bottles and there was still 100 square meters of space in the Level 2 storage, she decisively took the truck stuck in the ruins into her storage.

Picking up a large truck for free, how awesome!

Hua Mi walked out of the ruins on foot, waited for the Level 1 factory to finish producing 40,000 empty mineral water bottles, and then called the mineral water supplier,

"I have 40,000 empty mineral water bottles here, I'll bring them to your water production plant now, give me the address."
