Chapter 5 Living in a luxury apartment
Xia Sisi has been writing and drawing on paper for a long time.
Exercise is the first priority.
Although there is Dahei's protection, Xia Sisi cannot become dependent on Dahei.
In her last life, Xia Sisi knew how to use a knife, and she was very good at using it. Her agility and practical skills developed in the apocalypse were both good.
It's just that today's bodies are weak and don't have enough muscle mass, so they need to improve their physical fitness.
The rest is to stock up on food, food, various medicines for bad weather, clothes, daily necessities, as well as dog food, dog snacks, and dog clothes for Dahei!
There are even some means of transportation to cope with severe weather such as snow, floods, earthquakes, etc. RVs, sleds (Dahei can pull the car), off-road vehicles, and boats should be prepared.
Tents, camping lights, camping shovels, solar charging panels, generators, water purification equipment...these are also essential!
The house will then need to be renovated.
Xia Sisi looked at the house in front of her. Although the area was not small, it was a full 150 square meters. It was left to her by her parents back then. The location was also very good, in the downtown area.
But the floor is too low.
Acid rain and floods, including blizzards, will submerge buildings with more than 10 or 20 floors. If you want to be safe, it is best to choose a floor above 20 floors, preferably the top floor.
Living on the top floor means you can quickly access the rooftop if something goes wrong, which is an extra layer of protection.
Thinking like this, Xia Sisi suddenly thought of a small incident from her previous life.
It was about a month after the end of the world. At that time, acid rain kept falling and most of the streets were flooded, so people could only travel by boat.
Order has collapsed, and most people's homes have little food left.
Everyone is frantically searching for food, not knowing what will happen next.
Xia Sisi and several other partners temporarily formed a team to search for supplies.
By chance, we came to a small high-rise building with twelve floors.
The two floors below this small high-rise building were flooded. We entered the third floor and found that the two floors downstairs were express delivery transfer points, and the upstairs was actually a variety of live streaming delivery companies!
The entire upstairs has everything you need!
However, due to long-term rain, the building was corroded and the items in the express store downstairs were flooded.
Food soaked in acid rain is inedible.
This building is a bit old, and the waterproofing is not good. There are many leaks upstairs, and many houses on the upper floors have also been damaged.
Although everyone returned home with a full load, they felt more pity for other things.
With this in mind, Xia Sisi took out her phone, opened the map, and searched for the name of the building from her memory.
After several failed searches, I quickly recognized the small high-rise building called "Xintai Building" from the real-life pictures.
"that's it!"
Xia Sisi jumped up happily and even dropped the pen in her hand.
Next to him, Dahei, who was chewing on the sheep's plush toy, was startled by Xia Sisi's movements. He suddenly looked over and his mouth was still nibbling, which was a bit...stupid.
"Dahei, let's go out together!"
Xia Sisi went over and hugged Dahei's neck.
Dahei was frightened by Xia Sisi's sudden approach and sat up.
Look at her like she's a fool.
But Xia Sisi didn't care. She took Dahei's chain, picked up the car keys, and happily walked straight to the Xintai Building.
Xia Sisi is going to find a high-rise building near Xintai Building and rent it.
When the end of the world came and the water almost flooded the first floor, Xia Sisi and Dahei sneaked into the building and collected all the materials inside!
Anyway, it would be a waste to put it there.
After driving around the neighborhood, Xia Sisi quickly found a senior manager that she was satisfied with.
This building is sixty-six stories high. It is a commercial and residential apartment building, divided into two blocks A and B.
Building A is mostly filled with office supplies, Building B is rented on a daily basis, and there are oversized guest rooms on the top floor.
The reason why the area needs to be large is for Dahei.
When the end of the world comes, he can't go anywhere, and Dahei can't move around in the small room.
After parking the car, Xia Sisi called the agent listed on the house rental app and asked if there was a room on the top floor, preferably a bigger one.
The agent was very excited after hearing this: "Sister, you are really a blessed person! We have just vacated a 200-square-meter apartment on the top floor here. Do you want to rent it long-term or short-term?"
Dahei looked at Xia Sisi, or rather the mobile phone in Xia Sisi's hand, with a drooped face, as if he also expressed disdain for the agent's words.
"I'll be downstairs for the interview."
After hearing this, the agent happily reported the room number to Xia Sisi.
Xia Sisi glanced at Dahei in the car, took out two pet toys and a basin of water from under the car seat, and opened the car window a crack: "Dahei, I want to go see the house, and I will come back as soon as possible.
, can you wait for me in the car?"
Dahei tilted his head slightly, picked up a little rabbit-shaped toy, lay down on the back seat and started chewing on it.
Xia Sisi sighed - it seems that the bond with Dahei still needs to be cultivated. It obviously does not rely on her at all.
I especially want to see Dahei suffer from separation anxiety and be a mommy’s dog.
When she came upstairs, the agent was already waiting. When she saw Xia Sisi, she hurriedly introduced to her how well decorated the entire house was and how big the area was.
"Look, this place overlooks the street, how perfect it is!"
The agent took Xia Sisi to the living room and pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her.
Xia Sisi stood in front of the window and looked down. She happened to be at the high-rise building she had been thinking about.
Not only that, this building is the tallest in the neighborhood. Looking down from the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of all the nearby conditions.
This will also help Xia Sisi understand the surrounding situation.
"I want to rent for five years. I need to decorate it myself. I pay every three months. I can deposit two months' rent and sign a lease contract. Is that okay?"
"Five years?"
The agent was a little confused.
After all, these apartments are more expensive than other places. Few people rent them on an annual basis.
"Yes, I want to decorate. If you agree, I will sign the contract this afternoon."
The agent nodded immediately, with a happy look on his face, and went back to call the landlord.
After all, this is the city’s peak tourist season, and this price is very suitable for renting for five years.
The landlord made it clear that the load-bearing walls were not allowed to be demolished or the main structure of the house was damaged, and that when the house was taken over, Xia Sisi was asked to restore the house to its current condition.
Xia Sisi agreed to all of this. She also signed a very expensive "compensation agreement" and happily paid three months' rent.
Three months later, when the apocalypse comes, the landlord may not come back to collect the next rent.
