At this time, the mysterious person sent a photo.

‘Indeed, there are many good people in the world!’

Su Can clicked on the photo excitedly and looked at it carefully. Alas, with just a glance, he could see that the supplies the mysterious person prepared were all things used to deal with extremely hot weather. Although there were a lot of things, they were mostly useless.

Su Can could see that the other party was still typing, but he had already lost interest. After all, the directions they were heading in were different. No matter how much preparation the other party made, it would be useless. However, seeing that the other party was kind enough to remind him, he also kindly reminded the other party.

Su Can replied, “What you prepared for is completely opposite of what’s going to happen.”

After sending the message, Su Can closed the private chat.

In the end, Su Can did not exit the group chat. Although they were mostly prepared for a situation that was completely opposite of what was going to happen, there were some things that could be used such as medicine and general things for survival.

Su Can carefully browsed the group chat for an entire night and quickly sorted out a list of items he needed. With this, he had a clearer picture of what he needed to prepare.

He looked at the list on his phone in satisfaction. However, if he wanted to obtain everything, he would have to spend money again. He could not help but feel a little distressed again. After all, the money in his possession was limited. After buying the psychiatric hospital and paying for the renovation, he did not have much money left. The remaining money had to be used to buy food and important medicine.

Su Can frowned and mulled over the matter carefully. He planned to buy fuel and coals to keep warm at the end. He would also buy a lot of thick clothes since they would definitely come in handy. After all, fuel and coals would run out eventually. If he ran out of fuel at that time, he could likely get it from the fuel tanks of abandoned cars.

In the end, Su Can decided to buy what he could for now and sent them to be stored in the psychiatric hospital.

He found a purchaser online and sent the other parties the list of things he needed, and the other party also agreed to send the things to the designated location within three days.

‘As for food…’ Su Can was in a bit of a dilemma. He naturally could not buy fresh produce. They would go bad before the apocalypse even arrived. Vacuum-sealed food was a good option, but he did not know how long the apocalypse would last. After all, vacuum-sealed food could only last one or two years at most. In the end, he thought it was best to stock up on canned food with a long shelf life.

At this time, Su Can recalled that he had read somewhere about some imported canned food that could be preserved for decades. Although the taste was not very good, one could not afford to be picky during the apocalypse.

Su Can wondered if there were still factories that manufactured canned food that could be kept for a long time. He brought his phone out again and began to search ‘canned food’ online.

Soon enough, an advertisement for a canned food factory appeared in front of him.

“Seawood Canned Food Factory! We accept custom orders. Large quantities are preferred!”

Su Can looked at the advertisement carefully.

“They’ve been manufacturing canned food for 80 years, and their canned food can be kept for 60 years?”

“This is exactly what I’m looking for!” Su Can’s eyes lit up immediately. However, they dimmed a little when he saw that the advertisement was placed a few years ago.

“Is the factory still running?” Su Can muttered to himself as he scratched his head.

In the end, he decided to call the number listed in the advertisement first.

…

At the same time, a phone began to ring.

The owner of the phone, who had just fallen asleep, was immediately woken up by Su Can’s call.

“Who’s calling? It’s already so late… Don’t you know it’s my bedtime?” the person muttered exasperatedly as he answered the call.

“Hello, are you the manager of Seawood Canned Food Factory?”

“Yes, hello. May I know whom I am speaking to?”

Su Can asked directly, “I saw the advertisement you posted a few years ago. Do you still accept orders?”

Su Can felt slightly nervous. After all, the advertisement was posted a long time ago. He was not sure if they were still operating.

“Of course. Do you want canned fruits, canned meat, or canned vegetables?”

“I want all three,” Su Can replied after a brief pause.

It would be difficult to obtain food when the apocalypse arrived. However, it would likely be the most difficult to obtain fruits and vegetables. As for meat, the birds and beasts would likely have frozen to death at that time, but the fish should be fine.

In the end, Su Can decided to order more canned fruits and canned vegetables.

“I want more canned fruits and vegetables. I want three million canned vegetables, one million canned fruits, and one million canned meat.”

The manager lifted the blanket off his body and sat up before he asked again, “What did you say? Can you please repeat yourself?”

“Didn’t I say it clearly? I want five million cans of canned food.”

“Are you sure you want that much?” the manager asked skeptically.

Usually, most people would only order a few thousand cans at most. The number rarely exceeded ten thousand cans. It was only natural the manager was skeptical when he heard that someone wanted to buy five million cans of canned food.

“Yes,” Su Can replied without hesitation. He had to buy a lot since he had a huge appetite. It was likely that he would not be full with just one can and needed at least three or four cans to feel full. Moreover, it was not a bad thing to prepare more.

“Alright, I’ll get the production started tomorrow for your orders.”
