Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Stockpiling (9)

A shop that sells water gear and rescue supplies was nearby. Lu Nanzhi checked it and bought 200 life jackets, 50 ring buoys, 100 sets of cold-proof full-body raincoats, 100 complete sets of best-quality scuba diving equipment with anti-cold properties, which includes breathing apparatuses, 200 waterproof rechargeable flashlights, and 200 waterproof bags.

50 scuba refillable oxygen cylinders, 4 oxygen refilling machines, 20 sets of underwater communication SEACOMU 1, 50 pairs of walkie-talkies with a maximum range of 15 kilometers, 1000 sets of batteries, 20 pairs of satellite phones for long distance, 10 radios, 20 sets of fire safety gear, including safety helmets, and 50 fire extinguishers for emergencies.

For the snowmobile, she looked for a motorsports supplier with good ratings and bought 5 snowmobiles, 5 snow shovels to push the snow off the balcony during the snowstorm, 10 pairs of lightweight boots, 5 pairs of ice skating shoes, and another 5 pairs that had a mini sled attached to the bottom.

Recalling Lin Yicheng and his uncle, Lu Nanzhi decided to buy 10 sets for men and children.

Knowing the system, it might issue missions during the disasters. If there is a minimal risk, she can choose to accept it.

Warm clothes and house insulation are not enough for the severe cold. The face of the little dumpling came to her mind again.

She bought 60 stoves, 40 hand stoves, 40 electric and non-electric hot and water bottles, and 4 tons of smokeless briquettes.

(Coals emit extreme heat and are smokeless, but they're consumed faster.)

To acquire coal, which will be used in the last days of the harsh winter, she searched for metal shops that provided forging services, and through them she was able to find several coal suppliers.

This trip comes with good fortune because some of the metal forging shops not only sell automotive parts, drill bits, hand tools, cooking utensils, and construction materials, but she also came across those selling customized melee weapons.

They were the real deal, on par with the military melee weapons she had seen the big teams use—lightweight, sharp, and forged with durable high-carbon steel.

Nanzhi made a short stop and bought 200 sets of 30-inch bolo machetes with a handguard, 100 sets of tactical bowie knives, 100 tomahawks, and 10 sharpening stones for 80, 000 yuan.

Two bowyers were also working in one of these metal forging shops, and through them, she paid 50, 000 yuan for 30 flatline small crossbows, 20 large crossbows, and 5, 000 steel bolts.

When she is done with stockpiling, she will practice with them to build her arm strength and stamina.

Melee weapons don't need reloading and don't create loud noises.

Certainly yes, but based on her experience, they expend more energy than firearms, and within just dozens of swings, a non-physically fit individual would be exhausted.

It was the same with operating crossbows.

It was still out of the question whether she could get her hands on hot weapons. These are her only current assurances.
