Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 6
When Chu Qianxun came out of the private loan center, she added another 300,000 yuan deposit in her account.
Although she was still a student, she had her own fixed assets under her name, so this small loan would arrive within a day.
Chu Qianxun simply calculated the funds she could use.
She borrowed 100,000 yuan from Silly Fu, got a deposit of 1 million yuan in real estate transactions, 300,000 in loans and all the deposits left by her parents were changed to current deposits, nearly 500,000 yuan, totaling 1.8 million yuan.
The money was not too much, and it was not too little to say less.
She wanted to buy everything she needed in less than four days, and quickly spent all the money that had not been spent.
In the evening, Chu Qianxun returned to the dormitory.
As soon as she opened the door of the dormitory, she was greeted by a courier box, and the screaming of her roommates,
“Ah Xun, why are you buying things like crazy? Who is the one who swore to buy less things last week?”
“It’s also brought by SF Express! You are really a prodigal!”
“Qianxun, ignore them, what did you buy? Can I take a look?”
Chu Qianxun opened the express box with a utility knife, and pulled out four identical jackets from the inside.
“One for each, pick your own number,” Chu Qianxun said.
The room quieted down.
“You bought it for us?” Han Xuan asked in surprise.
“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly buy us clothes?” He Mingyan was also very surprised.
“One of my relatives works in a garment factory. These are all samples. They are very cheap. So I wanted to give you one set each,” Chu Qianxun explained casually.
“This brand seems to be familiar.” Another roommate, Gan Yan, was an outdoor sports enthusiast. She had some understanding of outdoor equipment, “No, this trademark is an international brand that specializes in outdoor sports.”
Gan Xiaodan took out her phone, swiped it, and screamed, “Wow, this is xx’s professional jacket. A set of at least two thousand! Chu Qianxun, you are crazy!”
“Don’t yell, these are not genuine products,” Chu Qianxun interrupted her.
“I was scared to death,” Gan Xiaodan patted her chest, and enthusiastically opened the outer packaging of the clothes. She took it in her hand and fumbled left and right, “This workmanship is really good. It looks real.”
“How can clothes cost more than two thousand? So expensive?” Han Xuan tried on the clothes.
“Monitor, you don’t know. This is the most expensive brand for outdoor sports. This jacket has excellent wear resistance, and has quick-drying and cold-proof effects. It is very suitable for wearing in extreme environments. If you wear it when traveling, you will know it.” Gan Xiaodan began to show off her knowledge.
Chu Qianxun took out five more backpacks, one for each.
“Wow, there are backpacks.” Gan Xiaodan cheered and took the lead, “This is a functional bag, wear-resistant and waterproof, and it won’t be worn out for a long time.”
“How come there are five? The other one belongs to Lu Zhehan, right?” Han Xuan asked.
“That must be for Lu Zhehan. Do you need to ask about it?” Gan Xiaodan received the benefits, and she wagged her tail to Chu Qianxun, “Chu Chu, why are you so good? I love you to death.”
“Thanks Qianxun, I feel sorry that you had to spend so much money,” He Mingyan was, as her name suggested, beautiful and gentle.
“Thanks, Ah Xun.” Monitor Han Xuan, had a better relationship with her, and patted her on the shoulder without being polite.
(Ah- Ah- before a man or woman’s name was, and still is, a common way of creating a nickname, meaning pal.)
Chu Qianxun was silent. The three vivid smiling faces around her once fell tragically before her eyes.
This time, Chu Qianxun may not have the ability to save them, but she wanted to do something for them.

In the early morning campus, the air was fresh and full of vigor.
Many students were doing morning exercise on the playground.
A girl jogging along the track attracted many boys’ attention.
She had fair skin, slender limbs, and her high ponytail flicked behind her head with her footsteps.
“Beauty, let’s chat.”
“I don’t know who the girl is?”
“Don’t be silly, Duan Hua, she is a sophomore in the Economics and Trade Department.”
The murmurs of the boys failed to reach Chu Qianxun’s ears. She ran for about one kilometer. When she was at her limit, she had to stop.
While panting, she raised her hand to look at her watch.
It was 6:45 in the morning on the 19th, and there were still three days before the apocalypse.
She walked toward the large supermarket and pharmacy outside the school.
Carrying a large bag of medicine and food, Chu Qianxun returned to the dormitory, and was stopped by a man.
After looking at him for a long time, she remembered that this was her boyfriend Lu Zhehan who she just agreed to start dating.
For Chu Qianxun, this was a short but bad relationship ten years ago.
At this moment, the “ex-boyfriend” looked gentle and considerate. He reached out to take things for her worriedly and caringly.
“Qianxun, why didn’t you answer my calls in these two days? Your roommate said you went back to your hometown. Did something happen at home?”
Lu Zhehan was tall, with beautiful eyes and had soft short hair. He looked like a very competent boyfriend.
But Chu Qianxun knew that he was just a superficial, soft guy.

Devi
Buying sets of expensive professional exercise gear and backpacks for her roommates despite knowing that she has small chance to save them, instead of spending the money for more resources (food supply, survival gears, etc.) for the doomsday… It seems the last 10 years in apocalypse hasn’t made her jaded much.
About the “ex-bf”, let me guess. Did he “threw her under the bus” when demons attacked them? Or, did he “sold her out” to bad guys for more survival resources/chances or for better living arrangement for him?

She probably doesn’t want to save them and expend energy so she bought them clothes and bags as a form of guilt.
