9: Chapter 9 is simply unaffordable.

For some reason, Ye Qingqing felt a sharp pang of conscience when she said this, but so what?

Even if Ye Qingqing transferred the money today, once the Post-Apocalyptic World arrived tomorrow, that money would just become worthless paper. Anyway, she had given all the reminders she should have.

Ye Qingqing immediately slipped into her spatial storage to see what exactly that pile of medical supplies consisted of and why it cost 500,000!

When Ye Qingqing entered the space today, she noticed the time counter above her head had reset to 3 minutes. She now understood that the space's time allotment was 30 minutes per day.

Seeing Ye Qingqing disappear once again, Ah Huang, who remained in place, was now utterly unfazed. He simply lay down right there, waiting for her to emerge from the space.

Ye Qingqing was currently rummaging through that pile of medical supplies in the space. Good heavens, ignorance was bliss; seeing it was a shock.

This Zhao Xiaosi really dared to sell anything to Ye Qingqing.

Common over-the-counter medicines aside, there were some prescription drugs, even antibiotics, and vaccines—this place had everything.

She even saw some commonly used medical instruments.

This absolutely thrilled Ye Qingqing. At the same time, she felt even more pangs of guilt, her conscience aching a bit.

If possible, if she encountered Song Meimei and Zhao Xiaosi again after the apocalypse, Ye Qingqing would definitely help them if she could! Even after struggling for survival for three years in the apocalypse, Ye Qingqing's conscience still couldn't quite settle on this.

However, Ye Qingqing soon emerged from the space. This time she had spent 1 minute inside, leaving 20 minutes remaining. She wanted to see if unused time in the space would carry over to the next day.

The moment Ye Qingqing flashed out of the space, Ah Huang immediately scooted over. Unlike yesterday, Ah Huang was now a mature and steady big dog, not the least bit surprised by Ye Qingqing's sudden appearances and disappearances.

He even sniffed all over Ye Qingqing to see if she had been sneaking food inside the space.

"Let's go," Ye Qingqing said, patting Ah Huang's rump, and led him scurrying out of the Warehouse.

Tonight, Ye Qingqing still needed to check on her apartment. It's just that she had rented one too many units; originally, she only needed one, but now she had rented two.

But it didn't matter. In the apocalypse, your next-door neighbor could very well be the one who drags you down. On her floor now, there were only two households including hers.

As long as Ye Qingqing's luck wasn't terrible and the person opposite wasn't some fierce, evil individual, she was confident she could defend herself.

When Ye Qingqing arrived, she could see her two apartments from a distance, both now fitted with sturdy new doors. She knocked on them; they felt like even a hammer wouldn't break through. Good, Ye Qingqing was very satisfied.

However, upon entering the rooms, Ye Qingqing was dumbfounded because there was no furniture at all in these two apartments.

She had almost forgotten about this detail.

Seems like she'd have to go buy furniture tomorrow too. The money in her hands would shrink a bit more.

Ye Qingqing looked at the layout of the three units on this floor: left, middle, and right. Her apartments were the middle and right ones, and they were on the top floor. When the time came, she could close and lock the fire escape door. As long as the left-side resident didn't cause trouble, Ye Qingqing felt these apartments would have a very high safety rating.

Ye Qingqing's gaze briefly fell on the left-side resident's door. Nothing special was apparent. In fact, a layer of dust had settled on their doorstep, making it look like no one lived there. This delighted Ye Qingqing. If the left-side unit was empty, then this entire floor would be hers.

Feeling pleased, Ye Qingqing took Ah Huang back to the hotel and also scheduled a car for tomorrow.

"Brother Qian, are you free tomorrow? I consulted online today, coming to pick up the car tomorrow."

Brother Qian on the other end of the line was about to go to sleep but opened his eyes upon receiving Ye Qingqing's call, his voice brimming with excitement.

"Absolutely! I've already got it ready for you today, just waiting for you to come pick it up tomorrow!"

After hanging up, Ye Qingqing went to sleep contentedly. However, her sleep was restless. In her dream, she saw scenes from her previous life again, the scenes right before her death.

Ye Qingqing was hung on a hook. The hook pierced straight through her wrist, the pain of bone penetration shooting through her nerves to her brain. Yet, despite this, Ye Qingqing didn't die. The flesh on her thigh was sliced off piece by piece, a process that lasted a full three days!

Those three days were the most despairing time for Ye Qingqing. By the end, even during the flesh-cutting, she had lost all sensation. A slight downward glance would reveal her stark white leg bone dangling in the air.

Flies and small insects even followed the scent and attached themselves to Ye Qingqing's flesh.

She wished to die but couldn't, yet living meant enduring torture. To keep the meat fresh, those Sheep-Eating Clan members forcibly fed Ye Qingqing a little water and food each day.

Except, that food was her own.

Finally, on the third day, the flesh on Ye Qingqing's leg was completely consumed.

Only then did the Sheep-Eating Clan mercifully disembowel Ye Qingqing, granting her a quick release.

The next morning, Ye Qingqing was jolted awake, fine beads of sweat covering her forehead.

Her chest heaved violently as she began to breathe heavily.

Her hatred for Fu Peisheng and Lin Wanrou deepened another notch.

"Ah Huang, let's go. It's the final day."

After packing up, Ye Qingqing walked out of the hotel with Ah Huang, heading straight for the car dealership.

The dealership owner, Qian Dawei, had been waiting outside the shop early, anticipating the arrival of his big client, Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing bought several vehicles: three heavy-duty off-roaders and one recreational vehicle.

"Miss Ye, you really have an eye for picking them. These are all the best stock in my shop. Look at this RV."

Rated for 3 passengers, turbocharged diesel engine, full-time four-wheel drive. It also has differential locks, a 30L fuel tank ensuring ample range, and a sandwich composite panel body.

The body strength is top-notch, providing both insulation and heat resistance. It even has a hard pop-top structure, further increasing the living space inside.

The layout includes a lounge area, a kitchen zone, and a bathroom with separate wet and dry areas.

Inside, there are two beds, even a booth that can be converted into a bed. The whole vehicle has a 40L freshwater tank, a 120L grey water tank.

Even an 11L black water tank, along with an electric water heater, lithium battery, gasoline generator, a 5000W charging inverter combo unit, 1200W solar panels, etc.

Looking at this mobile little home for the apocalypse, Ye Qingqing's eyes brimmed with excitement. However, the price of this single vehicle was 360,000.

Ye Qingqing now only had 300,000 left in her bag. She simply couldn't afford it.
