Chapter 3

After finishing these tasks, Lin Qianhuan immediately took a taxi to Yuncheng’s largest wholesale market.

With the New Year just two weeks away, the market was filled with people coming to shop and stock up, many carrying large bags of goods on their shoulders.

She was quite satisfied, as this way her stockpiling wouldn’t seem too out of place.

Entering the largest grain and oil store, Lin Qianhuan was about to greet the owner when she suddenly heard a loud commotion coming from the street.

Crowds layered around in a circle, as if watching something novel, and some were anxiously calling the police.

Lin Qianhuan wasn’t one to join the crowd; she had just turned her head to continue shopping when she suddenly heard words like “rabies” and “biting people like crazy.”

Instantly, her pupils constricted, and she squeezed through the crowd to the front.

A man with bluish-purple skin was currently tearing at a child, who was crying from the pain and fear, and the scene was a chaotic mess.

The man suddenly looked up, meeting Lin Qianhuan’s eyes.

He stared blankly as he chewed on the bloody flesh in his mouth, his teeth sharp and pointed, his pupils pure black, with not a trace of white.

Lin Qianhuan froze in place, and before she could react, she heard the wail of police sirens. Soon, the police arrested the man, and an ambulance immediately arrived to take away the little boy who had been bitten and lost an arm.

The police ordered everyone who had taken pictures to delete the videos and photos, and only after ensuring nothing was missed did they drive away.

The man, locked in the car, continued to roar, leaving bloody palm prints on the car window.

So that’s how it is. The zombie outbreak isn’t happening suddenly. The government has already intervened, but to avoid public panic, they haven’t spread the news.

Since the government hasn’t spread the news, it proves they are confident in controlling the disaster.

But why did the zombie virus suddenly explode uncontrollably on February 26th?

Lin Qianhuan pondered carefully, suddenly grasping the key point.

Rain!

On February 25th, a strange red rain fell, and overnight, zombies sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain, then invaded human homes.

Could it be that people who get caught in the rain will turn into zombies?

Lin Qianhuan frowned in confusion. But in her previous life, she had also been caught in the rain, so why didn’t she turn into a terrifying zombie, and instead awakened her Superpower?

Could it be that the red rain isn’t only harmful?

She racked her brains, but didn’t come to any useful conclusions.

Forget it, it’s not too late to think about these questions later. The most important thing now is to stockpile supplies, but since zombies have quietly hidden among the population, she must also be vigilant.

After the police left, the crowd dispersed, and Lin Qianhuan entered the grain and oil store to purchase supplies.

“What? How much did you say?”

The owner widened his eyes in surprise, scratching his head in disbelief.

“Three hundred tons of rice, three hundred tons of white flour, 200 boxes of each flavor of instant noodles, 1000 barrels each of soybean oil, peanut oil, and rapeseed oil, 200 catties each of various spices, 500 boxes of sugar, 500 boxes of salt, 500 boxes each of vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other seasonings, 50 boxes of hot pot seasoning…”

Lin Qianhuan repeated herself, and the owner, somewhat dazed, wrote it down on paper, unable to recover.

“You’re buying so much, it’s not just for New Year’s goods, and besides, things will spoil if you keep them for too long. Why don’t you buy less? Our store doesn’t have that much stock in a short time.”

The owner was troubled. Although Lin Qianhuan was his lucky charm, he couldn’t cheat his customers.

This girl looks like a young college student, probably doesn’t have much common sense, and doesn’t know how much she’s buying.

Lin Qianhuan smiled, took the pen, and wrote down her contact information and warehouse location below the order.

“I’m buying these New Year’s goods for my company’s employees. Seeing that the New Year is coming, I have to give everyone something for the holiday.

Please hurry up and transfer the goods, and just send them directly to this warehouse. Call me directly if there’s anything.”

She knew that the things she was buying were enough for herself and her two older brothers for a long time, and some might even expire, but there was nothing she could do about it.

To survive safely, it’s better to have more supplies than less.

Besides, what’s the point of worrying about expiration dates in the apocalypse? As long as it doesn’t kill you, it’s all good stuff. Even if she and her brothers don’t finish eating the food before it spoils, they can still trade it with other survivors.

Thinking of this, Lin Qianhuan sighed.

It’s a pity that she awakened a Spirit in her previous life, not a space Tie, so she couldn’t store so many supplies.

She could only rent a warehouse near the villa and store all the supplies in it, so it would be easy to take and use them in time.

Lin Qianhuan took out her bank card to pay the deposit, but was bumped hard by a freight worker.

Her wrist collided with the table, and the jade bracelet on her wrist shattered with a crack, scattering all over the floor. Lin Qianhuan also lost her balance and fell to the ground, her hand instinctively supporting her landing right on the broken edge of the jade bracelet.

Fresh blood instantly gushed out, soaking the jade fragments, and a wisp of white light flashed and disappeared.

The bracelet my mother left me!

Lin Qianhuan wanted to pick up the debris with heartache, but suddenly heard an unfamiliar mechanical voice.

[Spirit Spring System has been bound. Do you want to enter the Space?]

She looked up in confusion, only seeing the flustered owner and worker.

What’s going on? Am I hallucinating?

[The host has not responded. The default is to not enter the Space. Do you want to accept the newbie task? The reward for completing it is Warehouse x1.]

[Note: Time is still in the warehouse, with no space limitation.]

At this moment, Lin Qianhuan realized that she was not hallucinating. The last memento her mother left her seemed to be an extraordinary Big baby!

“I accept!”

She responded in her heart.

[Newbie task issued: Please collect all the jade bracelet fragments. No omissions are allowed. After collecting them, bury them in the Space soil to revitalize the Spirit Spring Space.]

Lin Qianhuan blinked, looked at the blood-stained jade on the ground, and ignoring the pain in her palm, carefully picked up the large pieces of debris.

“Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean to. I’m really very sorry!”

The freight worker flusteredly tried to help Lin Qianhuan up, apologizing in a trembling voice.

Is this bracelet expensive? Can his salary cover it? And this is a big customer, will he be fired by the boss?

The owner also rushed up, both apologizing repeatedly, making Lin Qianhuan dizzy.

“It’s okay, I don’t blame you, but can you please get me a broom? I want to collect all these fragments, not a single crumb can be missed.”

Although Lin Qianhuan felt sorry for the bracelet, she was also grateful that she had accidentally bound the Spirit Spring System.

She was worrying about not having a place to put all the supplies she bought, and the warehouse that the system gave away happened to solve a big problem for her.
