In the Apocalypse, After Hoarding Supplies, They Teamed Up with a Powerful Figure and Went on a Killing Spree

5: Chapter 5 Shopping SpreeQi Yin shook her head and looked directly into his eyes: ”Brother Yan Xiu, do you believe me?”

Lu Yanxiu looked at the unprecedented, near-desperate fear in her eyes without a moment’s hesitation: ”Of course. Since we were little, you have never joked with me.”

”Never mind the Apocalypse; even if the sky falls, your brother will hold it up for you.”

This familiar sentence struck a soft spot in Qi Yin’s heart. It was as if Lu Yanxiu had said these same words in her previous life, but she never saw him again until the end of the Apocalypse.

Qi Yin smiled, took a deep breath, and recounted the terrifying landscape of the coming Apocalypse, the virus outbreak, and the collapse of order in the simplest yet most horrifying language.

Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to reveal the secret of her rebirth and the jade pendant; she only told Lu Yanxiu that it was top-secret information obtained through special channels.

”This is not a natural disaster; it is more like a great purge targeting humanity. There isn’t much time left, brother. When that time comes, the world will turn into a living hell.”

”The prosperity we see now is all just an illusion.”

”You also know that I sold all the shares my grandmother left me. Adding in my other assets, I have about 3 billion on hand. I’ll invest it all, and if it’s not enough, I’ll find another way.”

Qi Yin frowned; this was the first time since her rebirth that she had revealed her true emotions in front of someone else.

After listening, the color gradually drained from Lu Yanxiu’s face, and a chill crept up his spine.

If the information Qi Yin brought was reliable, coming to him to hoard such a massive quantity of supplies was indeed the wisest choice at the moment.

The tentacles of the Xiao Conglomerate reached across the globe, naturally allowing it to access many people and information that ordinary people could not reach.

Coupled with the abnormal capital flows and supply controls of certain foreign organizations that that person had mentioned earlier, and with Qi Yin’s reminder, he seemed to suddenly find the answer, forcing him to think of the worst-case scenario.

Lu Yanxiu grabbed Qi Yin’s shoulders abruptly: ”What about you, Yin Yin? Are you in danger?”

His first reaction was not to question the authenticity of the information, but to worry about Qi Yin’s safety. They had grown up together, and Qi Yin was the granddaughter her grandmother cared about the most.

Qi Yin shook her head: ”The information is absolutely reliable, but you also know that Qi Mingyuan won’t let me access the resources of the Lu Group.”

Meeting his gaze, Qi Yin’s eyes became firm and cold once again.

”I can’t do it alone. I need your help, I need the power of the Xiao Conglomerate! In exchange, I will provide you with all the information I know about the Apocalypse.”

...

Having reached an agreement, Qi Yin left the Xiao Conglomerate and immediately rushed back to her villa.

She lifted the bed sheet, pulled a dusty box from under the bed, and took out the contents.

”Ding! Welcome back, Master!” A brand-new, modified folding computer appeared before her eyes.

Looking at her familiar old partner, Qi Yin felt wonderful.

After ten years of hardship in the Apocalypse, with no water or electricity, she had almost forgotten that she was once a hacker ranked on the international hacker leaderboard.

Qi Yin opened the folding computer. The device, originally as small as a mobile phone, transformed into a huge display screen, with data refreshing at a dizzying speed.

With Lu Yanxiu’s intervention, the plan to hoard supplies was injected with new lubricant and fuel, and it began to operate beyond imagination.

Qi Yin played the role of commander, controlling the direction of the entire plan, while the specific procurement speed was efficiently executed by the powerful machine that was the Xiao Conglomerate.

The display screen showed the procurement locations and progress in sync. At convenient intersections, Qi Yin had Lu Yanxiu build several large, hidden warehouses to temporarily store the purchased supplies.

Of course, she couldn’t just leave these hard-won supplies sitting out in the open. Qi Yin smiled; once the progress was sufficient, she would go over and collect the supplies into her space.

Lu Yanxiu, of course, did not know about this part of Qi Yin’s plan.

At this moment, at the Xiao Conglomerate, Lu Yanxiu held his head high, his slender figure standing tall.
