In addition, the batch of seeds Ashira bought later also arrived. She ordered common crop seeds and saplings. Almost all vegetable seeds can be planted and grown, while for things like sweet potatoes, you need to buy sweet potato seedlings.
All the seeds were very cheap, especially sweet potato seedlings. After Ashira found the largest seed store and placed a large order, she asked the owner a question, and the owner directly gave her a few seedlings.
As for fruit trees and the like, it's best to buy mature saplings, those with a longer tree age. Raising fruit tree seedlings in the early stages is time-consuming and troublesome, and they are slow to yield. Buying a ten-year-old sapling directly is also very cheap.
A top-quality ten-year-old Fuji apple sapling with a sugary core only cost ₱577 or ₱660. Ashira bought a large batch of ten-year-old saplings all at once.
Things like apple saplings, fig tree saplings, date tree saplings, pear tree saplings, mulberry tree saplings, cherry saplings, orange tree saplings, plum saplings, apricot saplings, walnut trees, chestnut trees, hazelnut trees, peach tree saplings, pear tree saplings, pomegranate saplings, persimmon saplings... Three of each.
Ensuring survival while having fruits that ripen in rotation throughout the four seasons. She bought over a hundred trees in total and only spent over ₱49,350.
The occupied area was less than half. Which was the vacant area to the right outside her air-raid shelter.
On the left, she built a first-class plastic shed and shelves, where she sowed various vegetable seeds.
Leafy greens, cucumbers, eggplants, carrots, tomatoes, cabbages, green onions, kale, green beans...
For many types of vegetables, planting seedlings is also very convenient, but considering that buying seedlings only yields one crop and there are no well-cultivated seedlings for the next year, Ashira started by cultivating seeds herself.
For crops like potatoes, planting tubers is sufficient.
Fortunately, her own land is super high-quality fertile land, and the seeds planted will definitely grow vigorously without needing much effort.
In just a days, Ashira's air-raid shelter had completely changed. It was completely refreshed, inside and out.

As time passed...
There were only 3 days left until the apocalypse.
After planting the last tree, Ashira was thinking about what else she needed. She would live a self-sufficient reclusive life here in the future, and raise some chickens, ducks, and fish!
Even if she had an endless supply of meal packs, nothing tasted as good as fresh food! It was like she had been eating meal packs every day for the past few days and felt something was missing!
Buy some chickens, ducks, and fish to raise herself, so she can eat meat whenever she wants in the future!
Thinking of this, Ashira immediately drove to the farmer's market. As usual, she left Storm in the warehouse, which would be convenient for receiving supplies later.
Ashira hadn't entered the city center for several days. When she entered today, she clearly felt that the atmosphere around her was off.
Everyone was wearing masks, with anxious expressions on their faces.
"Little girl, what do you want? Hurry up, I'm going to close early and go home after selling these."
Ashira was in front of a live chicken and duck stall.
Ash glanced at the dozen or so chickens and ducks in front of her. There were males and females, and they looked quite well-raised.
"Then give me a discount and sell all of these to me."
When the stall owner heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "You want all of them?!"
"Yes."
"Then I'll give them all to you for ₱164 per kg! Normally, my chickens are ₱246 per kg, and ducks are ₱180 per kg!"
"Okay."
There were a total of 26 chickens and ducks on site, in that case there were 10 chickens and 16 ducks that she purchased. Ashira spent a total of ₱18,690.
After Ash had the stall owner send the chickens and ducks to her warehouse, she continued to purchase other things!
As she continued to browse the farmer's market, she saw many fresh fish.
Ashira eyes flickered slightly. The air-raid shelter had a water source, so she could completely dig a small pond. She bought over 30 fish from the fish stall all at once. There were carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, grass carp, and over ₱15,199.
Ash loved eating shrimp the most, things like stir-fried shrimp, sweet and sour shrimp balls, buttered shrimp, scrambled eggs with shrimp...
For these fish, Ash paid a little extra to have them send her a large plastic tank and an oxygen generator, and she left the warehouse address for them to deliver to!
These fish and shrimp cost over ₱24,682. Live pigs and cattle couldn't be bought, but Ashira had a preservation warehouse and space!
She found a pork stall on the spot and ordered a 500 kg of pork and 250 kg of beef. This was a relatively large amount, and Ashira urged for it and added some money. The owner decided to order from the slaughterhouse on the spot for her, ensuring delivery to her warehouse on the same day.
This meat was more expensive. Ashira spent over ₱329,097, and she now had over ₱13.1 million left.
She walked around the farmer's market for another large circle, originally wanting to buy some more fresh items, but found that many stalls had already closed and gone home.
Just before leaving, she noticed a stall in the corner that was about to close. Someone was actually selling live young goats.
Ash immediately took them, buying these two little lambs for a price of ₱12,341! It is said that these were goats specially breed by the seller for raising and selling goat milk.
The market was too bad, so he sold the goats. The main ones had already been sold, leaving only a few young lambs, and coincidentally, Ashira bought the last two today.
"Miss, hurry home after buying your things!" the stall owner said to her after receiving the money. "There's a flu outbreak these past two days, so go out less."
Ash nodded after hearing this.
Of course she knew this. She always wore a professional medical-grade mask when she went out. But in fact, the flu was not the source of the Zombie virus.
It was just because the flu spread widely, lowering human body resistance, and then when the Zombie virus arrived, those with weak resistance were directly infected and turned into Zombies, which made everyone mistakenly believe that this flu was the real culprit!
Ashira also gradually learned these things after struggling in the apocalypse for 10 years, but she had no way of knowing what the origin of the Zombie virus was.
At that time, some people said that the Zombie virus was a hunting ground game for the gods, because this virus also brought different changes to humanity!
After Ashira still had the vendor take the goods to her warehouse, she didn't stay at the farmer's market any longer.
With less than 3 days left until the apocalypse virus outbreak, she didn't plan to go out during this time. But before going back, she wanted to spend all her money! She couldn't just leave so much money unspent!
Ashira found a place with no people and no surveillance, put the two lambs into her space, and drove away from the farmer's market with Storm.
On the way, she encountered a farm tools store. She bought a set of commonly used farm tools, and in addition, bought 30 shovels! Many people don't know that among farm tool cold weapons, the shovel has a first-class combat capability!
In times of war, every household without weapons would pick up their own shovels. If someone in a rural fight picked up a shovel, it was no joke!
Now, among military weapons, the powerful military shovel is also directly upgraded from the prototype of the shovel. Especially in the apocalypse, hot weapons are not as useful as cold weapons.
Ashira stockpiled a pile of shovels, which were enough as weapons for the early stage! In addition, there were baseball bats. The attack power of this equipment was also quite considerable.
