Chapter 2: Free Riding

Upon hearing this, the two individuals exchanged glances, and the more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

I remember the night before the apocalypse arrived, when the authorities issued a command that everyone must return home to avoid the heat, as the high temperatures would cause a complete power outage across the Central Sea

Among the four vehicles, he intends to keep one as a means of transportation for procuring supplies, which can serve as a backup vehicle stored in the storage space even in the event of an apocalypse. The remaining three vehicles will be used as resources for upgrading the apocalypse battle vehicles.

Now, with the storage space of the doomsday war vehicle in hand, all I need to do is drive the war vehicle around the entire Central Sea, and I can acquire all the supplies from a city!

Otherwise, if one merely gnaws on steamed buns every day, hiding in a car for a lifetime, what difference is there from being dead

With a plan in mind, Li Tianyang took out his phone and searched for a reputable car rental app in the software store. Upon searching, he discovered that Zhonghai indeed had more than ten Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles available for rent.

Additionally, the security at the liquor factory must be strengthened, and the trump card must not be exposed before the completion of the armored vehicle upgrades

Li Tianyang was constantly refining the plan

These car rental platforms are fundamentally indifferent to whether customers damage the vehicles, as the rental companies have already insured these cars against damage, theft, third-party liability, scratches, and other commercial risks. Even if a customer were to completely wreck the car, all compensation would be covered by the insurance company

Otherwise, what is money when the end of the world comes? Just a pile of worthless paper, too hard even to use for wiping oneself

Li Tianyang left a brand new Mercedes G with a temporary license plate at the factory entrance, while the other three vehicles were driven back to the warehouse one by one.

Sister, I want to post something on my social media. Shall we take a photo in front of the car?

As he squeezed the cola bottle in his hand, Li Tianyang gradually began to form a rough outline of a plan in his mind

These two girls, slightly more mature, are Bai Xiaoqing, a colleague of Li Tianyang, and beside her is her younger sister, Bai Xiaolan

The procedures for these car rental platforms are very simple; one only needs to upload their identification card, pay the deposit and rental fee after placing the order, and then wait at home for the staff to deliver the car.

First upgrade the doomsday vehicle, then procure supplies, and proceed step by step; otherwise, taking too big a step may lead to trouble

This city is home to more than 20 million people, and the entire city must provide the living supplies for over 20 million individuals

And I only spent 700,000 to acquire four vehicles, which is basically akin to getting them for free, so this deal is not a loss

Shortly after placing the order, a staff member from the car rental platform called. After repeatedly confirming that it was not a mistaken order, they informed Li Tianyang that the vehicle would be delivered soon

Moreover, the post-apocalyptic life he desires requires not only basic sustenance but also a dignified and even luxurious enjoyment

In order to survive for a long time in the apocalypse, it is necessary to stockpile a vast amount of resources; this amount of money is far from sufficient

"Isn't that a big G? Does Li Tianyang really have the money to buy such a car?" Bai Xiaoqing was also taken aback. Then she glanced at herself and her sister, both dressed in imitation goods, and laughed, "It might be rented. Who doesn't have a bit of vanity these days?"

In every corner of the coastal city, there are countless warehouses of goods and numerous shops on the streets

Can the resources of twenty million people not sustain him for a lifetime

She quickly pulled her sister, saying that those who drive such cars are mostly wealthy individuals or second-generation rich. When she used to go to nightclubs to mooch drinks, she had seen the second-generation rich arriving at bars in the same model of car.

For example, the self-operated warehouse of Dog East, the self-operated warehouse of Cat Supermarket, the logistics transfer station of Pinduoduo, the most bustling commercial street in the country, the ubiquitous Silver Gong cold fresh meat chain stores, and the various wholesale markets of all sizes

The only inheritance left to him by his parents is this empty factory building. Over the past two years, he has made around two million through stock trading and work. To put it bluntly, this amount of money is not even enough to buy half a commercial apartment in Zhonghai.

After reviewing the rental details, Li Tianyang couldn't help but be taken aback. The daily rental fee for a Mercedes G-Class is 3,000, and the deposit amounts to 100,000.

His greatest regret in his previous life was that he died without spending all his money. In this life, he definitely wants to fully enjoy the feeling of consumption when given the opportunity

The staff confirmed the information of the person placing the order, repeated the rental agreement, and then took photos of the vehicle's condition for record-keeping, facilitating verification during the return of the vehicle in the future. After completing all these tasks, they left directly

Having completed all of this, Li Tianyang fell into deep contemplation

Li Tianyang usually doesn't want to pay attention to me, and besides, what if the car doesn't belong to Li Tianyang? That would be quite awkward

Everyone lives in the same town, and Bai wwwhetushucom .com, Xiao Qing, and Li Tianyang all work at the same company; who doesn't know each other? If it weren't for the sudden windfall, who could afford to buy such an expensive car?

In one go, Li Tianyang spent over 700,000 without any sense of regret. A Mercedes G500, once the license plates are obtained, costs at least 2 million, and four of them would amount to 10 million

Just as Li Tianyang was loading cars into the storage space in the factory, two fashionably dressed girls walked in from the street

It must be said that large platforms operate with great efficiency. An hour later, Li Tianyang saw four Mercedes-Benz G500s at the factory entrance

What should be done at present is to upgrade the armored vehicle, and then procure as much prepared food from restaurants and prescription medications that are not available at pharmacies as possible. If conditions permit, it is best to acquire some self-defense weapons to prevent unforeseen circumstances

As the two individuals approached the intersection, Bai Xiaolan glanced inside and happened to see a brand new silver G500 parked at the factory entrance

She thought for a moment and exclaimed, "Didn’t you say he made quite a profit from buying stocks? Could it be that he encountered a bull market and struck it rich? There are plenty of such cases online!"

If one were to travel around in a motorhome to gather supplies, they would surely be caught and sent in. Not only would the safety of the books and images be compromised, but if an apocalypse were to occur while inside, one's own life would be at stake

Bai Xiaolan suggested that she has not updated her social media feed recently, primarily because she lacks luxury cars and villas for her photos. The prolonged absence of such content has severely impacted her persona as an upper-class socialite.

"Sister, didn't you say that he is usually very frugal, never spending more than 200 yuan on takeout? How could he possibly afford to rent such an expensive car?" Bai Xiaolan said

Sister, isn't that a Mercedes-Benz G-Class? Why is it parked at Li Tianyang's doorstep? It still has a temporary license plate; this is a brand new car just picked up from the 4S shop!

Everything that exists on Earth can be found in the Mediterranean Sea

After some consideration, Li Tianyang placed rental orders for four Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles, with a rental period of 30 days, totaling an expenditure of 760,000. After repeatedly confirming that the orders were correct, Li Tianyang proceeded to submit the payment

On the eve of the apocalypse, under the scorching heat, there was not a single living being on the streets. At that time, one could utilize the infinite space to scour the entire city for all necessary supplies.

He grew up in Zhonghai since childhood. What is Zhonghai? It is the largest city in the country

After a moment of intense passion, Li Tianyang regained his composure
