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

This is sacrificing personal privacy and peace in order to survive.

Everyone who lives here can understand.

Zhou Shuwan smelled a faint smoky scent in the air: "Is this mugwort?"

"Yes, with thousands of people gathered in one place and poor ventilation underground, we have to pay special attention to disinfection! Now, here, we disinfect once a day with alcohol and fumigate once a day with mugwort incense. Those large urns you see when you come in are filled with mugwort."

Those large urns were placed in the middle of slightly wider intersections.

This will prevent fires.

Zhou Shuwan thought of the batch of mugwort stored in the space. In his previous life, both the underground base and the heating factory needed to be disinfected with mugwort.

Qi Mingyu then asked, "Since we need to prevent fire, where do you usually cook?"

Director Wu sighed, "How can every family afford to cook these days? Most people eat the compressed biscuits distributed. But you can't bear to eat them directly. You have to soak them in water, make a batter, and then pinch off a few leaves to make them filling and long-lasting."

However, there are a few houses built around the outermost perimeter. They have a terrace inside, but no kitchenware is provided. If you want to cook, you can bring your own small stove or an electric rice cooker or wok. However, you have to pay for electricity here, so you can't use it for free. Nowadays, people can barely afford to eat, so who wants to use electricity? So almost every household uses a modified small stove, burning wood for simple cooking.

Our neighborhood uses this kitchen for cooking, and we take turns with the neighborhood next door. Today we cook first, tomorrow they cook first. Anyway, no one has anything to do right now, so we won't starve if we wait a little longer!"

When so many people live together, the most important thing to be wary of is theft.

Therefore, everyone puts their food, clothing, drinks and other daily necessities in the living area. Even when they go to the kitchen to cook, they have to carry the pot with them and carry it back with them.

After talking for a while, Director Wu gave the supplies from both families to the two people. There were not many and they could all be put in their backpacks.

Qi Mingyu looked around again.

Director Wu immediately understood what he meant, extended his hand to invite the two people into the tent, and arranged for someone to guard outside.

Qi Mingyu then quietly mentioned that he needed to exchange for a few more air-conditioned suits.

Director Wu couldn't hide his surprise on his face. After a long pause, he sighed, "Your two families are capable people, so exchanging air-conditioning clothes is not difficult. Your sister-in-law has been talking about wanting to exchange for air-conditioning clothes, but they are so expensive, how can she afford it!"

To be honest, property management now undertakes most of the grassroots work, including statistics, management, distribution of supplies, maintaining order, etc., which is very hard work.

The government also treats property staff very generously. In addition to distributing a considerable amount of supplies every month, there are also additional bonuses from time to time.

The property management of Dongyuan Community also distributed three sets of high-tech products like air-conditioning suits, which ordinary people would have to sell their houses to afford.

It looks like a lot, but there are also a lot of people in the property management. The air conditioning service is taken in turns, and whoever is on duty during the day can use it.

Mrs. Fang wore it once when Director Lu brought it home, and she has been thinking about it ever since.

Nowadays, ordinary people are very cautious when going out to search for supplies, fearing heat stroke. If they have such high-tech clothes, they will not be afraid even if the temperature is 70 or 80 degrees!

Qi Mingyu smiled and said, "When our two families went looking for supplies, we found some minerals. We originally wanted to keep them for our own use, but the temperature is too high now. After thinking about it, it's better to exchange them for air-conditioned clothes first."

Briefly explained the source of the supplies.

Director Wu nodded repeatedly. "That's right. Air-conditioned clothing provides an extra layer of protection for life. Now, let me ask, do you want four sets?"

Zhou Shuwan said, "Three sets for adults and one set for teenagers."

Director Wu was extremely envious again, because other people even had children who were growing up.

"Okay, I'll let you know next time I get supplies. But I heard the second batch of air-conditioning suits has arrived, and since you bought a lot, it should be cheaper than last time."

Zhou Shuwan was surprised: "The second batch is coming?"

She has been waiting for the second batch of air-conditioning clothes to be exchanged at a low price!

How come he came down but there is no news at all?

Director Wu quietly said, "We haven't leaked any information about the second batch. If I weren't there frequently to handle business, I wouldn't have known about it even if I saw someone redeeming their currency. Don't let anyone know about this!"

If you think about it for a moment, you will understand why!

Air-conditioned clothing is the most fundamental guarantee to ensure people's survival in high temperature disasters. Wearing it can make you live and go out normally like before the end of the world. Even if the price is too expensive, there are more people than goods.

Countless people are lining up to exchange for air-conditioned clothing!

Therefore, under the secret manipulation of countless powerful forces, the exchange of the second batch of air-conditioned clothing was completely silent!

Zhou Shuwan was just glad that he decided to exchange for the air-conditioned clothes in advance because he was in a bad mood!

"Thank you very much for your help!" Qi Mingyu handed over two boxes of high-end cigarettes.

Director Wu smiled so brightly that his brows and eyes relaxed: "You young people are just too polite!"

But he swiftly put the cigarette into his pocket without anyone noticing.

Without staying long, the two of them said a few more words and then left.

Director Wu first went to the area where he lived and hung curtains around it to maintain privacy.

The family had just finished their meal, and Mrs. Fang was cleaning up the mess on the floor.

Director Wu eats at the property management office, so there is no need to prepare meals for him at home.

He handed two boxes of cigarettes to Mrs. Fang and said, "Put them away."

Mrs. Fang was also a connoisseur of value. She knew at a glance that it was quite expensive and hurriedly whispered, "Who gave it to you?"

"It's still the Zhou and Qi families. They know how to be polite, and whenever they need help, they always come back empty-handed."

Mrs. Fang put the two boxes of cigarettes in the innermost part of the storage box and turned to look at Director Wu: "What did they ask you for this time?"

Director Wu then whispered something in her ear.

Mrs. Fang smacked her lips, feeling a little unhappy: "Since their family can even afford to exchange for air-conditioned clothes, then Zhou's Jiang Hai and Ti Yun are still looking for work!"

"That's how low-key they are." Director Wu felt a bit of a craving for cigarettes. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it to his nose and took a deep drag before saying, "I've also received more than a dozen boxes of cigarettes recently. What are they just sitting there for? Take them out and exchange them for some canned meat or something for the children!"

Mrs. Fang also knew that the child would not be able to eat after the end of the world and would suffer a great loss, so she nodded: "I know, you don't have to worry about it!"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "How's that job you said you'd find for me going?"

Director Wu shook his head and said, "It's not easy."

Logically speaking, with so many people to manage in the underground base, there should be many vacancies. However, each community is directly managed by its own property management, and the property management will report any matters to the base management. As a result, there are actually not many vacancies in the underground base.
