Stockpiling Supplies&Raising a Child in a Post-Apocalyptic World by DrawingCards

Chapter 4

Early the next morning, Lin Ran went to the largest outdoor supplies store in town. They had a complete selection of items like axes, jungle machetes, entrenching tools, and tents, but they didn't have the compound crossbow Lin Ran wanted. Lin Ran bought axes, entrenching tools, jungle machetes, flintstones, and other outdoor tools.

When she was checking out, she quietly asked the boss, "Brother, I'm interested in this kind of stuff. I'm going to spend a few days surviving in the wild near the county town. Do you know where I can buy a compound crossbow?"

The boss smiled, apparently more than one person had asked him about this item. Seeing Lin Ran's generous purchase without haggling, he smiled and said, "I have a local outdoor survival group. There are people in there who specialize in this. You can go in and ask."

"Okay, thank you. I'll add you, please add me to the group." Lin Ran smiled and said.

The boss added Lin Ran's contact and added her to the group of Jiangbei City outdoor enthusiasts. Lin Ran didn't draw attention after saying thanks and immediately left. She arranged for the workers from the store to deliver the goods to her door at 6 p.m.

Lin Ran took a taxi to the private hospital for intravenous therapy and to change the medication for her wisdom tooth. Sitting in the car, she opened the group chat just added, flipped through it, and quickly found the fourth person with the name "A sells outdoor equipment".

Lin Ran clicked on this person's profile picture, added them as a friend, and quickly added them to her friends list.

Lin Ran: Do you have compound crossbows here? I want something of good quality and long range.

A sells outdoor equipment: Definitely, the goods here are top-notch. You can come over and pick for yourself. We also have other things like combat knives. If you come over, I'll give you the address.

Lin Ran: Okay, I need it urgently. I'm going wild survival near the county town tomorrow.

A sells outdoor equipment: Don't worry, everything is in stock, guaranteed to satisfy you.

Lin Ran received the address and planned to go there after finishing the intravenous therapy. By the time she finished her IV, it was already noon, but because her mouth was sore, Lin Ran bought some white porridge and drank it. Then she took a taxi directly to the place that sold compound crossbows yesterday.

Surprisingly, there was still a store here, but it was a storefront that did security windows. Seeing the legitimate store, Lin Ran went in and said what she wanted. The boss immediately took her to a room inside the store. The room was quite large, about twenty square meters, probably two rooms combined.

The walls inside were covered with compound crossbows and outdoor gear like telescopes. On two large tables in the middle were all kinds of machetes. Lin Ran walked over and chose a combat knife, then selected the best and most expensive compound crossbow here.

However, Lin Ran was still a little worried. "Boss, is there a place here where I can try it out?"

"Of course, we have that. Just for this purpose. Go over there and try it." The boss pointed to a wooden cutting board on the wall with many holes, apparently used by others for practice.

Lin Ran took an arrow and skilfully loaded it onto the compound crossbow. The boss had originally planned to teach Lin Ran, but seeing how skilled she was, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be an old hand at this."

Lin Ran nodded, "I just moved here. I used to play this a lot back in my hometown."

What Lin Ran didn't say was that she was also very proficient in various firearms. As an international bodyguard like her, not only was she adept at firearms, but Lin Ran could also operate helicopters, speedboats, and other vehicles.
