Chapter 16: big purchase with sky high prices



Chapter 16: big purchase with sky high prices

 

The purity of water is not guaranteed.

 

Vicky plans to buy 50 thousand worth of things now and the next two times he would buy 30 thousand and 20 thousand after that.

 

This way he can come out the eyes of many people without getting into much trouble.

 

The people in the community have more money than Vicky has on his hands.

 

They should at least have 100 thousand rupees in cash.

 

He has already bought the heat insulated curtains before when renovating the flat.

 

Now he installed them so that the sunlight would not fry the room.

 

That evening Vicky went down the apartment building along with everyone when the big rubber boats arrived with many supplies.

 

There are men with guns on both sides and they moved from one apartment building to another.

 

There is water everywhere and it has already reached 4 feet from the ground.

 

Unless that person knows to swim they cannot get into the water.

 

Also this water is mixed with all kinds of sewer water.

 

So getting into the water is no better than rubbing many kinds of infections.

 

In the current situation getting infected is nothing more than death sentence.

 

The hospitals are already full with the people that were stung by the mosquitoes with high fever and other problems.

 

So this arrangement is made.

 

The current big supply boat is rations boat.

 

Every person would receive 2 kilograms of rice and 3 liters of water for week.

 

This is possible because they are living in high end community with many rich and influential people.

 

If it is not like that then the things would be much worse.

 

After giving the rations the supply boat move forward.

 

There are no vegetables or other things in the ration which shows that things are even worse.

 

The quality of rice is also not good.

 

It can spoil at any time in the humid atmosphere.

 

Behind the rations there is another big boat filled with supplies.

 

In that a merchant appeared with a price list with the list of goods.

 

Vicky looked at the prices and his eyes did not show many fluctuations.

 

He has seen this already.

 

Right around that time Nisha and Roy were also there.

 

Nisha came to Vicky to ask him if he could buy some pulses and meat for her.

 

The cost of meat is 20,000 per kilogram.

 

She is so shameless to ask such a thing.

 

Vicky sneered inside his heart and looked at the list of things.

 

He did not answer to Nisha.

 

When it was his turn to buy the things Vicky simply moved forward to buy another

 

8 kilograms of rice costs 8,000 rupees,

 

10 bottles of water costs 2,000 rupees,

 

5 kilograms of pulses costs 10,000 rupees,

 

2 salt packets costs 10,000 rupees,

 

2 kilograms of sugar costs 10,000 rupees,

 

2 kilograms of potatoes costs 5,000 rupees and

 

2 kilograms of onions costs 5,000 rupees.

 

The total cost of all the things is 50,000 rupees.

 

There are no preserved foods like biscuits, chocolate and other things.

 

The next time they come they cost of the products doubles again and the number of items decreases.

 

 The sudden increase in the humidity and temperature directly spoiled many crops so there are very few vegetables.

 

Even the vegetables here are mostly spoiled.

 

Vicky took the things after paying in cash.

 

He did not even look at Nisha before leaving.

 

Nisha thought that Vicky saw or heard Nisha and Roy holding hands or kissing through some other means.

 

Well there are many people in their friends that would spoil the things of others as long as they cannot get them.

 

Many people tried to get Nisha but most of them were rejected and Nisha finally settled in for Roy.

 

So those jealous people might have informed Vicky about her.

 

This is not like that when Nisha went to find Vicky to ask about the bronze pendent.

 

So something happened in these few days.

 

“I should find a way to coax that idiot to get the food and money from him later.”

 

Nisha thought about Vicky in her heart and then she stuck to Roy to get some good materials.

 

Almost all the people in the apartments have few hundred thousand rupees as this is a rich community.

 

In a way Vicky can be ranked first from the bottom in the entire community when it comes to having cash.

 

Vicky returned back to the 20th floor with the things on hand.

 

In order to appear weak Vicky showed hard time carrying the load of 20+ kilograms of things.

 

He took pit stops many times.

 

Well all the people here appeared stronger and had more people to carry their things.

 

Vicky also lives at the very top floor that made it hard for him to take the things.

 

When he was out of sight from the people he moved quickly as if he was carrying a little sack of things.

 

After returning to the house he looked at the two big barrels that he prepared before for drinking and washing.

 

He then went to the water pipes to black them with the steel seals that he arranged previously.

 

Every pipeline is sealed.

 

If he wants to go for toilet or other natural calls then he would go for it in the big bathroom in the ark bed room to clear them.

 

In the past 365 days he has accumulated over 360 hours that gives him time to stay in the space for 15 full days.

 

This is very important thing and he doesn’t want to spoil the peace of mind that he usually has.

 

So there is no problem.

 

He first took out the salt that he just bought and checked it carefully.

 

It is a cheap quality salt and there is a chance of having kidney problems consuming this.

 

Vicky doesn’t want to use this but save it for exchange when he arrives at the base later in 2 years…………..
