Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Zhou Jianghai frowned and even forgot to wipe his hair.

Zhong Tiyun sighed: "I've been living with Wanwan these past few days, and I've discovered that she really hates or is afraid of being touched. If you accidentally touch her, she'll shudder all over... and she doesn't like to talk anymore...

I couldn't sleep well at night. I woke up in the middle of the night several times and thought about going to her place to check on her and cover her with a blanket.

As soon as I opened the door, I found that she had been woken up long ago. She was holding a kitchen knife in her hand and looking at me warily. The kitchen knife was hidden under her pillow..."

She couldn't hold it back any longer and started crying softly: "Jiang Hai, seeing her like that, my heart aches like a knife...

I don't know how much suffering she went through in the apocalypse, how much suffering she endured, and how many people bullied her, which is why she ended up like this...

I just want to help her, talk to her, or ask her to see a psychologist, but I don’t dare to speak up... What do you think we should do?"

Zhou Jianghai was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Ayun, Wanwan has survived the apocalypse alone for eight years. She must be different now. It's normal to have some psychological stress disorders.

Look at those small countries at war abroad; not only do the children, but even the adults suffer from some psychological issues. Wanwan has simply lived alone for too long in the apocalypse, without parents or friends, so she's a bit lonely, but that's normal.

Don't show it and make the child uncomfortable. Let's just be like usual. Last time we had dinner, Wanwan looked like she hadn't eaten enough in years. When you have time, make more of her favorite dishes.

This time, our family is all together, and Wanwan won’t have to face those things alone. I think, slowly, Wanwan will become normal..."

Zhong Tiyun wiped her tears, thought about it, and nodded: "You are right, let's pay more attention to Wanwan in the future. I heard her say that it will rain all the time in the future. I'm fine, I'll just stay at home and make food.

In the future, if anything happens, we as parents will rush to the front and pay attention to our own safety. Don’t leave the two children alone..."

"Yeah." Zhou Jianghai nodded heavily.

"By the way, Grandma Pang has helped us take care of Mumu for a few days. We should bring something to her house to express our gratitude."

"Do I need you to remind me? I've already sent two cartons of milk and two cartons of fruit."

"That is not bad."

The next day, Zhou Shu got up late and checked the progress of the home renovation.

The time was short, but Dad Zhou was thoughtful. Considering that it would rain later, he focused on the outdoor work first.

Therefore, the tempered glass on the seventh floor platform and the two large balconies on the sixth floor have all been installed.

Customized glass is the kind that the manufacturer explicitly states is heat-resistant, acid rain-proof, and tsunami-proof.

The top floor of the seventh floor is covered with two thick layers of insulation cotton.

At this moment, the floors on the seventh and sixth floors have all been lifted up and electric floor heating equipment has been installed.

When it gets extremely cold, there is no hope for central heating, and people can only generate their own electricity for heating at home.

Zhou's father works in a hardware store and has some experience in repairing machines. From now on, all the equipment in our home will depend on him.

In addition, a layer of insulation cotton is laid on the ceilings and walls of the sixth and seventh floors.

"Wanwan, we bought a lot of insulation cotton, and the rest are stored in the warehouse. We can use it several times in the future."

Zhou Shuwan nodded.

It was not until I reached the seventh floor that I saw that there was a large vertical air conditioner, three wall-mounted air conditioners, a large double-door refrigerator, as well as sofas, dining tables and chairs, and several large beds and mattresses on the two large terraces.

I don't know how it was moved up here.

"The furniture and appliances in our apartment with an elevator were already sold at a low price, and I think it will be hard to buy them in the future. Our apartment is old and everything is old, so if they break down they will have to be replaced.

So I just hired workers to dismantle it and transport it here." He lowered his voice: "Wanwan, from now on, put it in your space..."

Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad."

She also asked her father to call the merchant and buy two large freezers so that it would be convenient to freeze food in the future.

After agreeing on door-to-door delivery, Zhong Tiyun asked, "Dahai, how about our elevator apartment and storefront? Is anyone interested?"

"The storefront is in a great location, and many people were jealous before. Today we're going to negotiate the price and sign the contract. Our elevator apartment is listed at a low price, and several real estate agencies are promoting it. I've already looked at several properties in the past few days."

I didn't have time to go see the property, so I gave the keys to the agent and asked them to take someone to see it. However, they only paid the down payment, and few paid the full amount.

Zhou Shuwan calculated the time and shook his head: "Dad, if it doesn't work, just reduce the price by a few tens of thousands and sell it in full.

If I go through the loan process, it could take two or three months, and even if I get the money, it would be too late.”

She was afraid her parents would be reluctant to give it up: "Dad, Mom, in a few months, the money will be worthless."

In the first few years after the end of the world, even if you had a lot of money, you couldn’t buy even a bite of dry food.

So spend it as soon as you can.

Zhou Jianghai nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Wanwan. I'll call the agent later and ask them to reduce the price by another 5."

The family started talking about renting another warehouse location.

Zhou Jianghai has been thinking about this problem for the past two days: "Ayun, Wanwan, I've thought about it too. You said that the storage space is not enough and we need to find another place to store supplies.

However, if the apocalypse really comes and floods and tsunamis submerge most of the city, many people will be left without a place to live. By then, any high-lying land will surely be occupied. Even if a warehouse is located in the suburbs, it will not be safe..."

Zhong Tiyun followed up, "I've been worried about this too. It's not safe to keep it right under our noses, and if we keep it so far away, someone might take it all away without us even noticing."

"So, I think I should get a house in our community."

"But Wanwan said that they will be forcibly confiscated at that time..." Zhong Tiyun said.

"Wanwan, what if we buy it? Houses in the old district are not worth much. A 100-square-meter house is only 300,000 yuan at most. The top floor is even cheaper, 200,000 yuan."

Zhou Jianghai had clearly given it some thought, and continued, "It's not just for storage. If our relatives on both sides have nowhere else to go and really come to us for refuge, we'll naturally be afraid to let anyone move in with such a big secret. But we can't completely ignore it either. Why not buy a top floor? The sixth or seventh floor will have plenty of space, so it'll be easier to accommodate them."

Zhong Tiyun's eyes lit up: "Jiang Hai, your idea is good."

In fact, she was also very worried about her second brother and third sister's families. She first tried to remind them to stock up on supplies so that when the flood came, if there was really no other way, there would be a place for them to stay.

"Wanwan, if we buy the house, will the government forcibly expropriate it?" Zhou Jianghai looked at Zhou Shuwan.

The latter shook his head: "It is possible that the homeowner is out of town and cannot be contacted, so they arranged for the disaster victims to move in directly.

But since we live in this neighborhood, our opinions will prevail. We can just say it's for a relative."

Both Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhong showed relaxed smiles.

Zhou Shuwan also sincerely admired his father. After all, the old ones are the most experienced and have considered all aspects.

Zhou Jianghai then said, "I saw on the weather forecast that it will rain heavily for half a month. The apocalypse that Wanwan talked about is probably about to begin.

We need to discuss how to remind our relatives that it’s not too late to stock up on supplies, but we can’t say a word about Wanwan.”
