Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Warehouse in the Suburbs

After Old man Zhao and his butler left, Lu Zhen opened the computer in the office and turned off all the security cameras before starting to pack everything in the office into empty boxes they found in the store room.

Once packed, they were placed in the warehouse inside the space. After that, they collected all the shelves with the books and other materials still arranged inside them and placed them in the space as they were.

It took them an hour to finish packing and storing everything and by the time they were done, the bookstore was empty.

“Let’s go to the Lu Group warehouse and collect the things you ordered. Then we have to go to my parent’s villa to collect what was delivered today before going home.

Looks like by the time we get home, mom and little brother will be asleep.” Leng Pan said as they walked out of the bookstore hand in hand and locked the door.

They didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention, so even though the bookstore was empty, they still locked it.

“It’s alright. Mom will understand that we just got married and need our privacy. We are not going on a honeymoon so it’s understandable if we spend more time together.” Lu Zhen replied.

When he mentioned honeymoon, he felt that he was shortchanging Leng Pan since he won’t be able to take her on a honeymoon like other new brides.

He held her hand with their fingers intertwined and apologized for that.

“Sorry Panpan, I won’t be able to take you on our honeymoon.”

“Why would you apologize for that? It’s not your fault that the world is ending. I know that if everything was going well, you would definitely take me on a honeymoon.

But with what we are about to face, I won’t fuss over such a trivials. As long as we are together and healthy. That’s all that matters.” Leng Pan reassured Lu Zhen when she heard his self-reproach.

At this time, they had already reached their car and Lu Zhen walked to the passenger seat side, opened the door for his wife like a gentleman, and after she got in, he closed the door before going to the other side and getting into the driver’s seat.

Because of the information he was told about the apocalypse, and all the errands they had to run today, Lu Zhen had chosen to drive himself instead of his driver.

In fact, he had dismissed all the servants and drivers that morning and given them a sum of money, asking them to go home and stock up on food and water so that they could celebrate his marriage.

No one suspected anything and most of them did as the boss instructed.

As such, most of the Lu Group employees had done bulk shopping and stocked up a lot of supplies. These people would have a buffer time to adjust to the apocalypse and won’t starve to death due to lack of food.

Those who thought that saving the money their boss had given them was more important would regret it when they have nothing in the house and can only starve or take a risk to go out and scavenge.

Lu Zhen started the car and they headed towards the suburbs where the warehouse was located. Since it was already past 7:00 pm, the congested traffic had already reduced and it only took them thirty minutes to get there.

When they arrived, the place was shrouded in darkness and one could tell that this place had not been visited frequently.

They got out of the car and Lu Zhen used a key to open the door. The key had been delivered to him by his assistant before letting him get off work and go home to stock up on supplies as well.

Assistant Zao had followed Lu Zhen for many years and knew him better than most people. He knew that Lu Zhen would not advise everyone to go home and even give them so much money just to celebrate his marriage.

He was a businessman and would never do such a loss-making deal. So, there must be something bigger at play.

Knowing this, after leaving his boss, he went home where he lived alone in a three bedroom apartment in a high-rise building.

His salary is sufficient and he gets regular bonuses, so he lives in a secure and high-end community.

The apartment is on the fifteenth floor where only four units are on every floor.

The apartments were not very old and because the owner of the community was selling the apartments using security as the main attraction feature, the doors were installed with double bullet proof glass and anti-theft locks.

The metal used is also top-notch.

The windows were the same, so his apartment could be said to be very secure.

Once he got home that day, he ordered a lot of food, water, medicine, and daily necessities online and paid for express delivery so that they could be delivered the same day.

He had bought all types of noodles, rice, oil, flour, sugar, salt, seasonings, and milk powder. He also ordered a lot of water and even bought a solar generator.

He didn’t know what would happen, but he knew that his boss wouldn’t buy things just for show.

He also remembered going to the airport to pick up the boss’ family, so he also called his mother and asked her to come to his place the following day.

All he knew is that the boss let him find out about some things so that he could imitate. He didn’t need to be told directly.

So, at the moment when Lu Zhen and Leng Pan were collecting the supplies in the warehouse, he was still moving his supplies that had been delivered to his house.

His store room and kitchen were already full and there were still many things to arrange.

After Lu Zhen opened the door, he switched on the lights and saw what was inside the warehouse.
