Chapter 22: Going to the slaughterhouse to buy supplies, the spatial dimension swallowed all the live pigs.
"Live creatures?"
The fat manager on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned, with noisy background sounds.
"Boss Lin, what... do you mean by this? We are a slaughterhouse, we don't sell live ones."
"I know."
Lin Xingwan leaned back against the leather seat of her off-road vehicle, her fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel.
"But I heard that your slaughterhouse cooperates with the largest super breeding base in the Western Suburbs."
"Help me contact the boss over there, just say I want to buy a batch of live creatures, the price is negotiable."
The fat manager understood instantly.
This god of wealth was going to skip the slaughtering process and stock up directly from the source!
Although he would earn less processing fees, being able to connect with this big client was a guaranteed profitable deal.
"No problem! Boss Lin, please wait a moment, I will contact them for you right now!"
Half an hour later.
Lin Xingwan drove straight to the super breeding base in the Western Suburbs.
Just after getting out of the car, a strong smell mixed with fodder and livestock manure hit her face.
In the distance were rows of huge pens that stretched as far as the eye could see.
They were packed with lively pigs, cows, and sheep.
The "cluck-cluck-cluck" of chickens and the "quack-quack-quack" of ducks rose and fell.
Looking at the live creatures filling the pens, Lin Xingwan seemed to already see the endless roasted whole pigs, shabu-shabu beef, and old duck soup in The Apocalypse.
The owner of the breeding base was a tall, thin middle-aged man who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.
"Miss Lin, I've heard so much about you!"
The boss enthusiastically offered her a cigarette.
"Manager Wang already told me, you want to buy live ones?"
Lin Xingwan waved her hand, not taking the cigarette.
"That's right, I want live ones, and I want the best."
She pointed to a separate pig pen not far away.
Inside were hundreds of fat, sturdy, and glossy big white pigs.
"Give me one thousand of those ecological black pigs, half male and half female."
The boss's eyes almost popped out.
One thousand?!
That's enough to open dozens of chain pork shops!
"No... no problem!"
The boss rubbed his hands in excitement.
"What about the cows and sheep?"
"Angus beef cattle, three hundred. Boer goats, five hundred."
Lin Xingwan's tone was as casual as if she were buying groceries at a market.
"And also give me two hundred Holstein dairy cows that can produce milk."
"Chickens, ducks, geese, ten thousand of each, and throw in some chicks and ducklings too."
The boss was completely numb.
He felt like he wasn't doing business, but supplying a queen preparing to establish an independent kingdom.
"Miss Lin, are you... planning to open a zoo?"
"You could say that."
Lin Xingwan paid the deposit, looking at the dairy cows eating grass nearby, feeling happy.
When The Apocalypse comes, others will fight tooth and nail for a sip of expired milk.
She can drink fresh milk in her The Fortress every day, and even make it into milk tea and yogurt.
That evening.
The breeding base was brightly lit.
Hundreds of workers worked overtime through the night, loading the live creatures Lin Xingwan ordered onto heavy trucks, one truckload after another.
"Miss Lin, the goods you ordered are all here, where should we ship them?"
The boss handed over a thick handover list.
"The same old place, West Suburb No. 9 Logistics Park."
Lin Xingwan signed the papers and got into her off-road vehicle.
"Just have your drivers unload the goods at the designated factory building, and they must all leave before dawn."
Three in the morning.
West Suburb Logistics Park.
Over a hundred heavy trucks filled the open space, and the uneasy neighing and bleating of pigs, cows, and sheep came from the carriages.
Following instructions, the drivers herded the thousands of live creatures into several huge factory buildings temporarily partitioned with iron fences.
For a while, the entire logistics park was as lively as a large farmers' market.
After all the trucks left.
Lin Xingwan locked the main gate and took a deep breath.
The air was filled with an indescribable smell.
She walked to the factory building holding thousands of pigs and pushed open the iron door.
The "oink-oink" sounds of the pigs were deafening.
These 'Second Brothers' that would soon become reserve food for The Apocalypse, still did not know that their fate was about to undergo an earth-shattering change.
"Stop squealing, get ready to move."
Lin Xingwan stood at the door, her Mental Power instantly covering the entire factory building.
"Collect!"
The next second.
A miracle happened again.
Thousands of lively, fat pigs, along with the hay and manure under their feet.
Instantly disappeared from the real world!
The entire factory became empty, leaving only the lingering smell in the air.
Lin Xingwan flashed into the space.
On that vast black land of the Living Creature Farm.
Thousands of pigs were looking around blankly, seemingly not yet understanding the situation.
But soon, they were attracted by the fertile land under their feet and the clear spiritual spring not far away.
They excitedly kicked up their hooves and rolled around on the grass.
Lin Xingwan nodded with satisfaction.
She discovered that after the space upgraded, it actually came with an intelligent management system.
At the edge of the live creature area, rows of feeding troughs and water dispensers were automatically generated.
They would automatically be filled with pig feed and spiritual spring water.
And the manure produced by the animals would be quickly decomposed by something like decomposing insects, turning into nutrients for the black land.
A perfect ecological cycle!
Simply a heavenly farm!
Lin Xingwan didn't hesitate anymore and immediately exited the space.
She did the same for the others.
She collected the cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese all into the Living Creature Farm.
The space instantly became bustling and full of life.
After dealing with these live creatures.
Lin Xingwan was covered in sweat from exhaustion.
She took off her jacket, wearing only a thin T-shirt, but still felt a bit hot.
"Strange."
She walked to the factory door and looked up at the sky.
It was only the end of May; logically, there should still be some chill at night.
But tonight, even the wind blowing over carried a heart-palpitating stuffy heat.
The air was so oppressive that it made people unable to breathe.
The wild grass by the roadside also drooped its leaves listlessly.
Lin Xingwan's heart jumped violently.
She suddenly realized.
This strange heat was exactly the same as the signs before the natural disasters broke out in her previous life!
The extreme heat disaster was accelerating and approaching!
