When Catastrophes Strike: Surviving the World's Tremendous Changes Suddenly, natural disasters descended upon the world, beginning with extreme heat, followed by extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain. Struggling to survive in the apocalypse for ten years, Su Nian ultimately perished in a downpour of acid rain.

From then on, Su Nian began his hoarding spree. Rice, flour, oil? Buy! Chicken, duck, fish, meat? Buy! Clothes, hats, shoes, socks? Buy! Jerky, chicken feet, hot pot, potato chips, spicy strips, snail noodles—not one can be missed!

Filling the Space with 21 Billion Worth of Supplies

In her past life, Su Nian also rushed to buy supplies.

But at that time, the bosses of small vendors were reluctant to sell their goods and preferred to keep them in hand tightly.

Although the supermarkets and malls were still open, everyone was scrambling to buy, so she couldn't buy much.

Not only that, because she was a young girl living alone, she attracted the attention of some ill-intentioned people.

Fortunately, Su Nian had practiced martial arts since she was young, and before the age of ten, she had been a lay disciple in the Shaolin Temple. Her skills were beyond comparison, which protected herself.

Thinking of this, Su Nian wrote two words at the top of the document—weapons.

Weapons were crucial.

Su Nian considered her combat skills decent, but fighting bare-handed and with proper weapons were completely different levels of combat effectiveness.

Besides weapons, she also needed to arrange her daily necessities properly.

Su Nian's fingers flew over the keyboard, and the words in the document grew more and more.

When she finished writing, Su Nian printed out the document.

She planned to buy everything according to the records in the document so as not to miss anything.

Su Nian changed into a convenient sportswear, tied her long hair into a bun, grabbed her keys and wallet, and immediately headed out.

Taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Su Nian pressed the key and followed the sound to find her car.

After many years, Su Nian had forgotten where her parking spot was.

Su Nian's parents started from scratch, but they were both very business-minded. Within ten years, they had accumulated a considerable fortune and had Su Nian.

When Su Nian was three years old, she was kidnapped. After she was rescued, her parents sent her to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts for self-defense.

To ensure she didn't fall behind in her studies, they also hired teachers in various subjects to live with Su Nian at the Shaolin Temple.

During those years, Su Nian never stopped day or night, practicing martial arts while studying various subjects. It was impossible not to be tired.

But every day in the apocalypse, Su Nian was extremely grateful to her parents.

Luckily, they sent her to learn martial arts. Otherwise, in the apocalyptic world where people preyed on each other, she, a young girl living alone, would have had no way to protect herself.

Su Nian's parents died in an air crash last year.

Su Nian's parents were both only children, and their ancestors had also passed away in previous years.

After Su's father and mother passed away, Su Nian was the only one left in the Su family.

After handling her parents' funeral affairs, Su Nian sold the company.

Unlike her parents, Su Nian didn't have a head for business.

When Su's parents were still alive, they had discussed this issue with Su Nian.

They said that if one day they were gone and Su Nian didn't want to manage the company, she should sell it.

The money from the sale would be enough for Su Nian to live comfortably.

Su Nian sold the company for 2.1 billion.

If nothing unexpected happened, this huge sum of money would indeed ensure Su Nian a worry-free life.

However, the arrival of the apocalypse shattered everything.

Su Nian thought, if her parents saw her miserable life in her past life, she wondered how heartbroken they would be.

But in this life, she would definitely do her best to prepare herself so that she could live better and longer in the apocalypse.

Although Su Nian was a delicate and pretty girl, her character was resolute due to her martial arts training since childhood, and her preferences were different from those of ordinary girls.

Su Nian didn't like flashy sports cars; instead, she preferred off-road vehicles. She was currently driving a Hummer.

With two rows of seats and an extra-large trunk, it was very suitable for transporting goods.

Su Nian first went to the hair salon to cut her waist-length hair.

Su Nian's hair naturally had curls and had never been permed or dyed. The quality of her hair was very good.

But Su Nian didn't feel a bit sorry for cutting her waist-length hair to neck-length.

Such long hair was too troublesome to wash and too conspicuous in the apocalypse.

With short hair and a hat, even if she washed her hair later, others wouldn't notice.

After leaving the hair salon, Su Nian didn't go to the supermarket or mall but went directly to the largest wholesale market.

The wholesale market had a wide variety of goods, cheap prices, and even more discounts for large quantities.

Even though she had 21 billion in hand, Su Nian still wanted to budget carefully and spend every penny seriously.

When she arrived near the wholesale market, Su Nian parked her car and first rented a secluded warehouse for three months.

After renting the warehouse and getting the key, Su Nian confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras inside the warehouse. Then she locked the door and headed to the wholesale market.

Su Nian first ordered a batch of shelves.

These shelves were two meters long, three meters high, and fifty centimeters wide, with a retail price of 250 each.

Because Su Nian ordered a thousand at once, the boss was very happy and voluntarily gave her a discount. He calculated 240 for her, totaling 240,000.

Su Nian paid a deposit of 100,000 and left her phone number and the address of the warehouse, asking the boss to call her when delivering the goods the next day.

Su Nian planned to assemble these shelves and arrange them like those in supermarkets, dividing them into different areas to make it easier to find things when in use.

After leaving this shop, Su Nian went to the grain store.

The business of the grain store was slow, so Su Nian had to wait a while before the boss had time to greet her.

"What would the little girl like to buy?"

While waiting, Su Nian had carefully looked at the things in the store. The store was large, and the variety was also very complete.

When she heard the boss's question, Su Nian spoke slowly.

"I want 1000 bags of Wuchang rice, 1000 bags of pearl rice, and 1000 bags of long-grain fragrant rice.

Regular flour, high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, each 1000 bags.

Also, 2000 kilograms of glutinous rice, millet, sorghum, Job's tears, black rice, purple rice each.

Red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, soybeans, black beans, cowpeas, broad beans, peas, each 2000 kilograms.

Cornmeal, bean flour, sweet potato flour, sorghum flour, mung bean flour, buckwheat flour, also 2000 kilograms each.

How many types of your starches are there? Give me 250 kilograms of each."

Su Nian finished speaking in one breath, then noticed the boss staring blankly at her.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Su Nian raised her eyebrows.

The boss finally came back to his senses, looking Su Nian up and down, "Little girl, are you here to joke with me?"

Su Nian frowned, "Why would I joke with you? I'm going to open a large supermarket myself, and today I'm here to purchase goods."

The boss looked at Su Nian with mixed feelings, obviously still not believing her.

Seeing this, Su Nian straightforwardly said, "You first calculate the total of what I want, and I'll pay you half of the deposit. Will you believe me then?"

Seeing that Su Nian was serious, the boss, still somewhat skeptical, picked up the calculator and started to calculate.

Ten minutes later, the boss handed the written bill to Su Nian.

Skipping over the unit prices, Su Nian went straight to the total.

So many things cost just over 1.8 million?

Less than 2 million?

Seeing Su Nian not speaking, the boss was about to take back the bill.

He knew that this girl must be joking with him.

Who would come to the wholesale market to buy goods when opening a store?

Just then, a slender, delicate hand as white as jade pressed on the bill.

"Boss, what's your account number? I'll transfer the money to you right away!"
