Chapter 2 Organizing Shared Funds
"Alright, stop crying. I won't comfort you. You're a grown-up now." Bai Tang reached out and patted her younger brother's head.
After calming down, Bai Jiyang said to Bai Tang, "Sister, shall we make a list of the items we need to stock up on now, so that it will be easier to do so?"
Bai Tang took out her laptop from her bag, opened Word, and was about to type when the doorbell rang. Who would come in the middle of the day?
Bai Tang asked her younger brother to open the door, while she pondered what supplies she would need to survive the apocalypse.
Bai Jiyang opened the door and saw Gu Yanxu standing there. He said, "Brother Xu? What brings you here in the middle of the day? Are you looking for my sister? She's in her bedroom."
As she spoke, she opened the door to let Gu Yanxu in.
After entering the room, Gu Yanxu walked towards Bai Tang's bedroom and saw Bai Tang sitting peacefully at her computer desk. He could no longer contain his emotions.
"Tangtang, I'm so glad you're alright," Gu Yanxu said excitedly.
Bai Tang turned around and saw her childhood sweetheart boyfriend standing behind her, staring at her with teary eyes.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu? Why do you look like you're about to cry?"
"No, I don't want to cry, it's just that I haven't seen you in so long and I miss you."
Gu Yanxu used the same reason as Bai Tang.
"Tangtang, do you believe me? I was reborn, and the world is going to end in two months. We need to stockpile supplies, and I will definitely protect you this time."
Upon hearing Gu Yanxu's words, Bai Tang said to him, "You were also reborn? I was also reborn. I just finished talking to Yangyang, and we were preparing to organize our funds to stock up on goods."
Gu Yanxu said, "In my previous life, I was always at the base in Shengshi. It wasn't until the polar night passed that I went to the Beijing base with the base leader. After some inquiries, I learned that you and your team unfortunately encountered cannibals during the polar night."
Bai Tang interrupted Gu Yanxu before he could continue speaking.
"So, after the polar night in your previous life, there were no more disasters, Brother Xu? How did you manage to be reborn?"
Gu Yanxu shook his head and said, "No, the disaster did not disappear after the polar night. We finally saw the sun, but then acid rain suddenly started falling from the sky. I collapsed while saving people at that time. When I opened my eyes, I found that I had been reborn, so I rushed to find you."
"This is God giving us a chance to live a good life."
After saying that, the two hugged each other.
"Cough cough cough." A coughing sound rang out.
"Excuse me, gentlemen. Shouldn't we sort out the funds first before we get all lovey-dovey?" Bai Jiyang teased the two of them, leaning against the doorframe.
"You little brat, how dare you make fun of your older sister!"
Bai Tang looked up from Gu Yanxu's arms and spoke to Bai Jiyang.
"Alright, let's get down to business first. We'll have plenty of time to play around later." Gu Yanxu interrupted the conversation between the siblings.
"Let's consolidate the available funds first."
"Our parents left us a 10 billion yuan inheritance in the bank. There are also some gold bars and other things stored in the bank."
"Sister, I can sell our company's shares. You and I together own 42% of the shares. Since the world is going to end anyway, what's the point of keeping them? Selling them will still give us some money, which we can use to buy supplies."
Gu Yanxu said to the two of them, "I have some money saved up for my wedding. I can also raise some funds by selling my shares in the Gu family."
Bai Jiyang said with a sour look, "Oh my, you guys are really throwing dog food at me like that."
Bai Tang glanced at his younger brother and said, "Why don't you find a girlfriend and start showing off your love to us too?"
While the three were talking, they calculated their money and it came to about 90 billion. It seems that Gu Yanxu has saved up quite a bit for his wife.
After they finished calculating the cost, Gu Yanxu looked around and said, "We can no longer live in the villa area. In the apocalypse, the first place to be looted is the villa area. We need to find a new place."
"I've thought about this. This villa area is flat, and it will flood if there's a heavy rain. I should choose a high-rise building." Bai Tang said thoughtfully.
The three of them first chose a place to stay, since this was their guarantee of shelter in the early stages of the apocalypse.
"I think the newly built Huatian residential complex across from the police station is pretty good; we could consider it," Bai Tang said, expressing her opinion.
Gu Yanxu said, "That place is a new residential area I developed. I also think it's a good place. After all, it's a project under my management. It's indeed suitable for us to live there for a period of time in the early stages."
I had people reserve the top 20, 21, and 22 floors so we can conveniently store supplies.
Gu Yanxu had already planned out where to store supplies, but at this moment he was unaware that Bai Tang had a space where things could be stored.
At this moment, Bai Tang and Bai Jiyang exchanged a glance and communicated with their eyes: "Should we tell him about the space?"
"I think it's feasible, sis. Xu has liked you since you were little and he won't betray you. Besides, you two are just one step away from getting your marriage certificate."
"You're teasing your older sister again."
After exchanging glances and finishing their conversation, the two unanimously decided to tell Gu Yanxu about the space.
"Brother Xu, shouldn't we also think about where to stockpile our supplies?" Bai Jiyang asked Gu Yanxu.
Gu Yanxu said, "My plan is to have those three floors reinforced and renovated. The three of us will live on the 20th floor, and the other two floors will be used for storage. The first floor is a two-unit-per-floor layout, so the space is not small."
Bai Tang quietly chimed in from the side, "Brother Xu, haven't you ever considered that we might have a spatial ability? If we can both be reborn, what else is impossible?"
After speaking, Bai Tang led Gu Yanxu and Bai Jiyang back into the space. It seemed that this space could bring people who were not related by blood, so that if any emergencies occurred, she could protect the two of them in time.
After being brought into the space by Bai Tang, Gu Yanxu said with a shocked expression.
"Tangtang, you still have water and land in your space! That way, even if we run out of supplies in the future, Jiyang and I can still grow food and we won't have to worry about not having enough to eat."
Bai Tang patted Gu Yanxu on the shoulder and said, "Are you underestimating our funds? How could we possibly run out of supplies?"
Gu Yanxu nodded and said, "Indeed, but we also need to stock up on seeds and seedlings. I just don't know how much stuff your space can store."
Bai Tang then led them out of the space, went to the kitchen, poured a cup of hot water into it, took out some fresh fruit, and put the hot water cup and fruit into the space, intending to wait a few hours to see if the space could keep them fresh.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in Bai Tang's mind. After the golden light flashed, these words appeared in her mind.
"For those destined to find this place, it is fate that you have found it. This pure land can be expanded, but it requires gold or some ancient objects..."
After reading this, Bai Tang excitedly told the two, "This space can be expanded! We need gold or ancient artifacts with spiritual energy."
"That's great, sis! Our parents left behind quite a few antiques, right? We can expand your storage space so we can store more supplies."
