Apocalypse: Starting By Hoarding A Billion Food Additives - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Mistakenly Treating the Apocalypse as a Confession

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Zhao Corporation instantly became the target of public criticism. In addition, the grudges between Zhao Feng and the Zhao Corporation were dug out, and the public sided with Zhao Feng.

“Zhao Feng used to be the Crown Prince of the Zhao Corporation. However, when something happened to his parents, not only did his relatives not help him, but they also tried to kick him out. Those ungrateful people!”

“The Zhao Corporation has gone too far. I’ll never buy their products again!”

“This kind of inhumane, immoral company should go bankrupt!”

The storm didn’t last long, but it was a devastating blow to the Zhao Corporation.

Although the company did not go bankrupt in the end, for a food company, the collapse of its reputation almost meant the decline of the company.

It was impossible to make a comeback.

After this incident, Yaoyao Food became the largest food company in Lihe and had a high reputation internationally.

A large number of orders from all over the world came to Ding Yao’s desk like snowflakes.

Zhao Feng did not interfere in any of these matters and just let nature take its course.

As the apocalypse was very close, Zhao Feng was not sure when it would suddenly descend.

Thus, just in case, Zhao Feng had already begun to put all his energy into the final preparations for the apocalypse.

First, he had to fill up all the warehouses in the underground city!

“System, you built this underground city for me. Can you help me calculate the stock in the warehouse?”

“Ding, that’s not a problem, Master. Please wait a moment.”

“The warehouse’s stock has now reached 8.5 million tons of supplies. After it’s filled, it’s expected to exceed ten million tons.”

“According to the current capacity of the underground city, these resources are enough for the people to live for the rest of their lives!”

8.5 million tons of supplies!

This number exceeded Zhao Feng’s expectations. He had originally thought that five million tons would be enough.

He didn’t expect the final number to be so much more than he had expected!

It seemed like he had underestimated the storage space in the underground city.

The reason why Zhao Feng did not store these resources in the infinite space given by the system was mainly that there was a possibility of exposing the existence of the system.

After all, if there was nothing in the underground city, and he could keep moving supplies out, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Now that the material reserves had reached Zhao Feng’s goal, there was no need to worry or consider this problem.

He only needed to continue to purchase supplies from all over the world and fill up the warehouse.

Other than resources, there was another important matter that Zhao Feng was most concerned about.

That was to strengthen the ground facilities of his industrial park!

The solar storm that led to the apocalypse was very terrifying. It almost destroyed everything on the ground.

Ordinary city buildings were almost unable to survive such a terrifying energy impact, not to mention the simple factories in the park.

These factories would probably be destroyed as soon as the solar storm arrived.

Therefore, these buildings had to be reinforced. It was best to lay a layer of reflective film on the buildings’ exterior to spread the radiation energy to the outside world.

This way, they could return to the surface and restart the industrial production of the park after the disaster subsided.

In addition to protecting the buildings in the park, they also had to strengthen the protection measures for various electronic facilities in the park.

When a terrifying solar storm hit the atmosphere and magnetic fields, ionization would occur, producing extremely strong electromagnetic pulses.

All electronic equipment exposed to the outside world would be destroyed by the terrifying electromagnetic pulse.

Even if some of the machines could survive the energy impact of the solar storm, they would be useless if all the internal circuits were destroyed.

In order to better complete all the preparations, Zhao Feng finally decided to tell Ding Yao the truth.

She shall cooperate with him to complete the work.

Ding Yao came to Zhao Feng’s office. These days, she had been busy with orders from all over the world and was still complaining that Zhao Feng was wasting her time.

“I’ve been very busy recently. If you have anything, you can find someone else first.”

Ding Yao was about to leave when Zhao Feng grabbed her hand.

Her body froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

“W-what are you doing?”

Ding Yao’s heart was beating wildly. Could it be that Zhao Feng, this blockhead, had suddenly awakened today?

“I want to tell you a secret, a very important thing!” Zhao Feng said slowly.

Ding Yao’s heart was in her throat. Was Zhao Feng going to confess to her?

However, this was all too sudden!

“The apocalypse is coming!”

Ding Yao was dumbfounded.

The apocalypse? What was this thing? It didn’t seem to be April Fool’s Day today.

“Are you kidding me? You called me to your office just to tell me this?”

Ding Yao suddenly felt very disappointed and even a little angry, so she said with a little dissatisfaction.

Zhao Feng looked into her eyes seriously and didn’t say a word. He just held Ding Yao’s hand and directly went to the underground city from a special elevator in the office.

This was the first time that Ding Yao had seen the complete underground city, and she was instantly stunned.

“Did you find someone to build this city? Didn’t you just build an underground warehouse? How did you do that?”

Zhao Feng replied calmly, “This is the sanctuary I’ve prepared for the apocalypse. The apocalypse is not a joke. If you’ve been following the news, you should know.”

“The article that made it to the hot search a few months ago, right?”

Ding Yao thought for a while and suddenly said, “You mean that solar storm? But didn’t the experts already refute the rumors?”

Zhao Feng shook his head and interrupted Ding Yao’s words.

“An expert? Hehe, haven’t you noticed that the international news has been a little too quiet recently?”

“Have you ever seen any high-ranking officials appear in front of the camera on TV? Can you guess where these people have gone to?”

Ding Yao was completely silent. Although she still felt that the apocalypse was a bit too outrageous, Zhao Feng had given so much evidence, and it didn’t seem like he was joking.

“Then why did you call me here today?”

Zhao Feng then told Ding Yao about the many preparations he had made to welcome the apocalypse.

“Strengthen our ground facilities, strengthen the protection of electronic equipment, and strive to maintain normal operation after the apocalypse. Restore production capacity as soon as possible!”
