Safe house construction completed

Three days later, with the help of Wu Huairen's connections, Zhang Yi successfully obtained two guns and 100 rounds of ammunition.

Although the price was a bit high, Zhang Yi didn't mind at all.

With these heavy weapons in his hands, he had gained some confidence in his safety in the apocalypse.

He had also completed the transaction for the necessary medicines with Zhou Hairun and obtained five boxes of imported high-end drugs.

Another week passed.

Wu Huairen called Zhang Yi and informed him that the safe house had been constructed according to his requirements.

He invited Zhang Yi to come back and inspect it.

Zhang Yi left the hotel where he had been staying for a while, and drove back to Yue Lu residential area.

Wu Huairen personally accompanied Zhang Yi to inspect the house.

Upon returning home, Zhang Yi couldn't help but be impressed by what he saw.

War Dragon Security Company truly lived up to its reputation as a top-notch security company in China.

The speed and quality of their safe house construction were impeccable.

The entire house had been reinforced with 200mm thick alloy plates as per Zhang Yi's request.

From the outside, there was no discernible difference from before.

Wu Huairen patiently explained everything to Zhang Yi.

"The ventilation system uses military-grade technology, capable of filtering out any harmful gases and preventing gas attacks from the outside."

"In addition, the entire house's insulation system has been completely redone using materials from the Arctic Science Research Institute."

"Besides installing the fireplace as you requested, it also prevents 99.5% of heat loss."

At this point, Wu Huairen gave Zhang Yi a mysterious smile.

"And to ensure your safety, we have installed a surveillance system throughout the entire building. There are a total of 300 cameras, allowing you to monitor every floor of the building."

After hearing all this, Zhang Yi was astonished and didn't know what to say.

He could only sigh and marvel at the fact that having money truly allowed him to purchase services beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

He went to the balcony and discovered that it had been transformed into a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Wu Huairen explained, "The materials used for the windows are bulletproof and blast-resistant, even more durable than the 200mm alloy plates."

"And it also provides you with ample natural light and necessary observation of the outside," Wu Huairen added.

Zhang Yi was extremely satisfied with this safe house.

Unless it was a military force armed with heavy weapons, no one would be able to forcefully enter his home.

Even if the entire building collapsed, his room would likely remain unscathed.

"I'm very satisfied with the safe house you've built," Zhang Yi said with a smile to Wu Huairen.

Wu Huairen also had a smile on his face.

He took out some documents for Zhang Yi to sign and said, "If there are no issues, please settle the remaining balance within three months."

Zhang Yi nodded with a smile, "Absolutely!"

However, he had no intention of paying the remaining balance.

Thinking about how he only paid a deposit of 1 million yuan but managed to enjoy a nearly 10 million yuan safe house for free, he felt ecstatic!

Zhang Yi lay on the sofa, admiring his perfectly secure safe house.

But after some contemplation, he realized that he had overlooked something very important.

That was the source of life—water!

Slapping his forehead, Zhang Yi exclaimed, "Damn, how could I forget something as important as water?"

After the arrival of the icy apocalypse, although water could be obtained by chiseling ice outside, the temperature would drop to minus sixty or seventy degrees Celsius. Going outside would also mean potential dangers.

Zhang Yi couldn't tolerate such a major loophole in his safe house!

After thinking for a moment, he directly placed an order through a food delivery platform to purchase 100 large water storage containers.

The water storage containers could hold 500 cubic meters of water, enough for Zhang Yi to use for several years.

In addition, he could also retrieve mineral water from the warehouse when needed, so the issue of water resources was perfectly solved.

The delivery guy was indeed efficient.

Just a few hours later, he arrived at Zhang Yi's doorstep.

Zhang Yi went to the entrance of the residential area and asked the security guard, Uncle You, to let the delivery guy through.

Seeing that it was Zhang Yi buying another bunch of strange things, the neighbors around were all talking and gossiping.

"Is there something wrong with this Zhang Yi?"

"Yeah, he buys weird things every day."

"A few days ago, when they were renovating their house, I saw people carrying steel plates that were at least ten centimeters thick."

"Hehe, maybe he's gone crazy, trying to imitate those safe houses in movies!"

"I've seen some rich people doing that in foreign videos. Isn't it just an unnecessary worry?"

"Now he's bought so many water containers. Does he think Tianhai City will run out of water in the future? Hahaha!"

"What? Tianhai City is by the sea, isn't it?"

Facing the mocking laughter of the neighbors, Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered to argue with them.

He just sneered in his heart, knowing that on the day the icy apocalypse arrived, they would realize how foolish they had been.

Zhang Yi had no interest in explaining to them.

Because these people would only see him as a fool and wouldn't listen to his well-intentioned advice.

They might even turn the tables and accuse Zhang Yi of spreading rumors and disturbing social order.

They would come to arrest him then.

Security guard Uncle You was chatting with neighbor Mr. Tang at the entrance.

Uncle You walked over enthusiastically and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what are you buying so many water containers for? If you need any help, just let me know, I'll lend a hand."

Looking at the enthusiastic Uncle You, Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Uncle You was a retired soldier with no children. He had been a security guard in the residential area for over ten years, always diligent and responsible.

In his previous life, he had donated his last bit of food to a mother and daughter on the verge of starvation, eventually starving to death himself.

He was one of the few shining examples of humanity that Zhang Yi had encountered in the apocalypse.

So Zhang Yi said to Uncle You, "Uncle You, the temperature has been abnormal this year, and I have insider information that this winter will be tough."

"Just to be safe, it's better for you to stock up on food and drinks too. So that you won't have to worry about price increases later."

Uncle You and Zhang Yi had a good relationship on regular days.

He knew Zhang Yi was a kind-hearted and good young man.

Additionally, older people tend to be more prone to worries and concerns. So when Uncle You heard what Zhang Yi said, he furrowed his brow.

"Xiao Zhang, is this information reliable?"

Zhang Yi nodded, "Look, I've already prepared so much. You can stock up on instant noodles and bottled water. These things aren't a problem even if you buy more."

Uncle You immediately nodded.

Living alone, he already liked to stock up on instant noodles and sausages, which made cooking convenient.

Since Zhang Yi had reminded him, he might as well buy some more when he had the chance.

Consider it as buying peace of mind. After all, those things can be stored and it's not a problem to buy more.

However, Mr. Tang, who was nearby, walked over to Zhang Yi and said, "Xiao Zhang, you mustn't go around saying these things."

"Our society is currently stable and peaceful. How could there be a shortage of supplies? If you say such things, be careful of being reported for spreading rumors. You might end up being invited for tea!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and didn't pay much attention.

He had already given the reminders he could give. Whether they believed it or not was their own business.
