"Have you bought everything?"

  Malrik's team to buy weapons was the third to arrive. The first and second were Cyrus and Mirelle who bought medicine, and Salem and Elowen who bought instant food.

  "We've all bought it, but Caelum and the others haven't come yet."

  Cyrus said, as to why the two of them were the first to arrive at the meeting place, it had to go back to when they were buying medicine.

  The first people to set off at that time were Cyrus and Mirelle. They happily took a taxi and headed to the pharmacy. After arriving at the pharmacy, they first bought some cold medicine, fever medicine, analgesics, bandages, band-aids, iodophor, hydrogen peroxide and the like based on the list written by Elian. The clerk looked at them curiously.

  "What are you doing, buying so much medicine? Is there any large-scale injury scene?"

  Cyrus froze for a few seconds and then said:

  "Oh, we..."

  Although Cyrus couldn't make up why he bought these things, he still chose to bite the bullet and continue talking.

  "Ah...haha, our school's infirmary needs these things...so they sent us here to buy medicine."

  When Mirelle saw this reason, it was so fake that she almost betrayed him.

  "Ah, we are students who skipped a grade. We studied medical and nursing-related things in college. We happened to have a practical project, so the two of us came to buy these things instead of the class."

  The clerk nodded in understanding:

  "Let me tell you, no wonder you two don't look like people who would resell drugs, so keep it safe."

  Cyrus paid with a smile. Mirelle turned around and gave him a blank look before leading the bag out of the pharmacy.

  Malrik couldn't help but cover his face after hearing their outrageous deeds:

  "If you want to make up a reason, it can't be so outrageous, right? You're lucky that Mirelle is going with you."

  Cyrus scratched his head, as if he thought of something, and smiled awkwardly.

  "Hum, isn't that why I was so nervous when I was suddenly asked a question? My mind went blank and I couldn't think of any reason. Isn't that what I meant?"

  "but!"

  Cyrus raised a finger and waved:

  "At least we have completed our mission. We were the first to arrive."

  Mirelle almost rolled her eyes:

  "That's because daily necessities are easy to buy. If it were you who followed Caelum to buy the energy system, you still wouldn't be able to buy it quickly."

  Karyna's slightly irritable and gritted voice slowly came from a distance:

  "Can you stop chatting for now! Come and help us move our things quickly, and then each of you can buy some food. Salem and Elowen only bought half of the supplies."

  Salem originally wanted to say that there were only two of him, but when Malrik glanced at him, he could only hold back his words and dispersed with Elowen to buy things.

  When everyone moved the food to the car, they used the rings to teleport the things back to the previously determined base. Just at this time, the message from Caelum came over.

  "Caelum and the others have done it. When we get back, we will sort out the things and see what is missing. It's not too early. Our parents will become suspicious if we continue to mess with it."

  Malrik glanced at the time and spoke. After all, everyone is still a high school student, so it’s hard to explain

  Malrik returned to the stronghold with a group of people buying daily necessities and food. Caelum and his party, who were going to buy an energy system, were already waiting at the door. Since time has not yet reached that point, it is unreasonable to use private property to renovate the campus at this time. What's more, everyone used the excuse of temporarily increasing rehearsals to delay time, so after checking the items on the list and confirming that the purchase was completed, they all went home. On the one hand, it was because it was already the end of normal rehearsals, and any further delay would only increase suspicion. On the other hand, it takes too much energy to complete all the purchases within two and a half hours. After all, we are still human. We have not awakened the so-called "Eidolon Protoco" and still need to rest.

  The next day, a beautiful Friday, there was about a week left until the end. After everyone finished the first five classes of the day and returned to the classroom, they only felt slightly tired. But in order to survive in the apocalypse, there is no way around it.

  Everyone crawled from the room to the stronghold, and everyone except Malrik and Caelum, who had seen what this place looked like, exclaimed. All the supplies they bought were piled in the living room. The only thing missing was the security door they bought. The sunlight outside the window didn't look fake. While everyone was still marveling at how this place was built, Malrik walked to the window. It was really sunny and warm. Caelum stood beside the purchased security system and energy system, frowning. It was Cyrus who noticed the strangeness between the two people first.

  Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  "Why are you two so dazed?"

  Malrik came back to his senses and met the eyes of Caelum who had also come back to his senses. He shook his head

  "fine"

  Caelum walked to Malrik and lowered his voice.

  "The solar panels, infrared vibration sensors and wireless monitors are all gone, as is the anti-theft door in the security system. Apart from these, all other purchased items are intact."

  Malrik pursed his lips and walked to the door where they entered without saying a word. That is the entrance to the second floor of the entire music building. The metal-reinforced security door stood in place instead of the original door. There is a note on it. Caelum took it off:

  ‘My dear Captain Malrik and Vice Captain Caelum,

  I will help you install anti-theft doors for free, which are more laborious and noisy to decorate. Of course, I have given a little help to this anti-theft door, which I think you will not refuse. Except for you, this door is what it is in the eyes of others. As a reward, I took away a few snacks. You’re welcome~

  From，

  S.E'

  "Let me tell you, this "S.E" will definitely help us when needed."

  Caelum made a joke. Just last night, the two of them had a quarrel over whether the "S.E" was on their side or did it deliberately. Now it seems that Caelum has won.

  "It's more reliable to rely on yourself, right?"

  Malrik has always believed that only what he does belongs to him, but Malrik feels that this free help is a bit of a waste.

  "But this help really helped us a lot at critical moments..."

  "Let's not talk about this for now. Shouldn't we sort out these supplies?"

  Malrik had a slight headache and changed the topic.

  Just as they were talking, Caelum and Malrik realized that they had left everyone in the stronghold space aside for a while, so they were all doing their own things now.

  "Ahem, everyone, come here."

  Malrik shouted towards the space at the top of the ladder, and everyone who was chatting put down what they were doing and went downstairs to gather together. Malrik cleared his throat:

  "Just yesterday we successfully purchased all the remaining supplies needed to face the end of the world. Although we experienced some minor setbacks, through the joint participation of everyone, we successfully overcame the difficulties, so everyone, well done!"

  "Woooo!"

  Accompanied by cheers and everyone's applause, Malrik spoke again:

  "So, our task today is to sort out the supplies we brought back yesterday. You can voluntarily sign up for the parts you want to sort out or are interested in sorting out. If there are no parts you are interested in, I and Caelum will help you group them.

  Bastian, who was in the crowd, immediately raised his hand when he heard this speech, because he had always been very curious about the weapons they bought:

  "I want to sort out weapons or something like that!"

  Bastian is positive:

  "Wow, why didn't I realize that Bastian likes weapons so much before?" Althea joked.

  "Yes, did something happen in the previous life?"

  Karyna also chimed in and made a harmless joke.

  "Hey, it's not because we were fighting zombies outside when I was protecting everyone in my last life. I didn't expect that I was pretty good at fighting zombies, but in the end, because they evolved too fast and they all developed IQs, they died..."

  Bastian answered, sounding aggrieved.

  I don't know which sentence in this passage touched everyone's laughter, and the whole room burst into laughter. After the laughter subsided, Darian reluctantly stopped laughing and said:

  "Leave it to me to organize the weapons. Bastian and Mavren will ensure that the task is completed!"

  Malrik waved helplessly and let them go, and Darian took the two of them back to the space to sort out their weapons.

  "I can go with Elowen to sort out the fast food."

  Salem held Elowen's hand and said that Cyrus was the first to disagree.

  "No! The last time you went shopping, although the time was indeed shorter than others...but it doesn't take so long for the two of you to buy instant food, right? I protest, if you two stick together, everything will be twice as slow."

  Seeing that they were about to start a quarrel, Caelum interrupted the trend:

  "In this way, Cyrus, Karyna, Salem and Elowen go to sort out the daily necessities and the food that needs to be processed."

  Karyna was stunned for a moment. No one wanted to stay with a young couple in love, especially if they had to stay for a while.

  Cyrus had no choice. This was the lineup allowed by Malrik. No matter how much he refuted it, he couldn't get a better solution. In this way, the four people climbed up the stairs.

  "Is there anything else we need to sort out?"

  Cyrus asked while crawling.

  "No, it's all there."

  After waiting for them to come up, Karyna pointed to the pile of things in front and said.

  Cyrus looked at the huge pile of densely packed bags in front of him and fell into deep thought:

  No one told him there were so many things they had to sort out!

  "That's why Malrik acquiesced that the four of us were divided here, because these are the parts with the most things."

  Karyna explained to Cyrus with a slightly complaining and murderous look.

  "Forget it, let's forget about it for now. Let's ask those two people to work together. I hope they can sort out these things before going home..." Cyrus said resignedly.

  Just as they were told, they quickly sorted things out and started sorting and packing them. Although only two of the four people are working seriously, the others are fishing. Karyna and Cyrus are handling the purchased meat and seafood respectively. Salem and Elowen were packing fruits and the like.

  When returning to assigning tasks, after Karyna and others went up, Malrik counted the number of people.

  "We probably still have medicines, books, a small amount of energy and security systems that need to be sorted out. In this way, Mirelle and Tiselle will sort out the medicines; Caelum and Althea will sort out the books, and Elian and I will sort out the rest."

  Mirelle and Tiselle arrived at the stronghold space first. After all, they were both relatively focused people. They quickly got into work mode and started organizing. During the process, Tiselle also asked Mirelle for knowledge about certain parts.

  Caelum and Althea followed behind and returned to the stronghold space, looking a little despairing at the mountains of books in front of them.

  In this way, everyone went to the stronghold space to pack their things at different times, and Malrik and Caelum did not receive news from the "S.E" for a long time.
