Chapter 2: The Best Refuge in the Last Days
The intermediary hurriedly got up and walked out with Luo Xun. As soon as I went out, I pointed to several high-rise buildings not far away and introduced: "Hongjing Community, a new community in the southwest district, the building of their community has not been completely completed." Some of them are relocated houses for residents in the urban area, and the rest are commercial houses. The house you fancy is a golden horn, the side, and not by the road, quiet, the view is good, and it is newly renovated, you don't look at this place is a bit partial, there are not many people, but in the future it will definitely be a commercial center, next to this piece of the piece, is the building that is not high, this is built out to prepare to be a big supermarket......"
Luo Xun listened while smiling and nodded, but did not speak. He knew very well that only two of the remaining new buildings had been built, and that the legendary supermarket would forever become a legend. However, this place has indeed become a golden and prosperous area in the future.
Because this is very close to a certain unit in City A, and another artillery regiment is not far from here, which happens to be in the southwest district.
In the future, City A, at the beginning of the apocalypse and the outbreak of zombies, a total of two bases were established. One is the southwestern base, which was quickly cleared under the protection of these two units, and the other is the eastern base.
After being destroyed in City M, he went all the way north and fled to the southwest base, and the eastern base was also breached by zombies and mutant animals in the second year after the disaster, shortly after he fled to City A.
Walking into the Hongjing Community with the intermediary, Luo Xun looked at the ground floor of Building No. 3 with some nostalgia - the basement in the east corner of Building No. 3, which is the foothold of himself after fleeing to City A, and it is also the "home" where he has lived for more than eight years.
But since there was a better option in this life, he naturally wouldn't go back to that basement - not to mention, the basement of this neighborhood would only be rented to merchants who stored their goods.
In the brand-new corridor, some people use oil-based pens to draw a string of phone numbers, paste small advertisements, or follow "decoration", or write "install air conditioning", or write "water", etc., even the door of the elevator is not missed.
After the two entered the elevator, the brand-new elevator was also full of these things.
Seeing Luo Xun looking at these handwritings with a curious face, the intermediary said with a wry smile: "The property in their community has not yet been in place, and now no one cares about it, so these people came in advance." ”
"That's business acumen." Looking at these kind and somewhat unfamiliar "psoriasis" and "corridor tattoos", Luo Xun couldn't help but sigh. When he first came here, the walls were already dirty, with the filth of pus and brains after the death of zombies, the splashing of blood from the living before death, and there was no trace of small advertisements on the walls.
The two sat all the way to the 16th floor and stopped, and the property took out the key to open the door. That's right, it's this house......
"The first floor is the living room, balcony, kitchen, toilet, and storage room, and the second floor is a large and a small bedroom, terrace, toilet, and bathroom." The agent introduced him and led him inside.
"Their house is finely decorated, and even the security door has been replaced, and they were originally going to live in their own home, but then it seems to be a transfer job, right? The work site is too far away from our southwest district, so I have to rent it out first. That's why he hasn't come to De'an Appliances yet......"
Luo Xun nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that this family did not live for this reason at all. Because this house has a terrace and a large balcony, and the geographical location is relatively remote, it was originally prepared by the children to pack it up for the elderly at home, but as soon as the house was installed, the old man in the family died of illness, and the house was naturally vacant.
The agent may be afraid that he will not want to rent if he says this, so he deliberately vaguely said.
Looking at the large glass window in front of him, the warm sunlight poured straight in, Luo Xun was even more satisfied, and walked to the second floor again, and did not look too carefully at the empty bedroom, but walked directly to the terrace, sure enough, the terrace was also directly sealed with glass, first, for the safety of the elderly, and secondly, because the wind on the top floor was too strong.
What amazed Luo Xun even more was that the family used all tempered glass! Just rush this glass, three thousand five a month, and rent such a set in the edge of City A Luo Xun also thinks it's worth it!
"Okay, nice house."
"What about you?"
"Rent, when will the landlord come and sign the contract?"
The agent hurriedly called the landlord with a smile on his face.
3,500 yuan a month, pressing one to pay three, plus the intermediary's intermediary fee of 3,500 yuan.
On the morning of October 1, the two sides signed an agreement, and Luo Xun got the coveted house key.
Standing in the empty room, Luo Xun only felt unprecedented excitement.
This house was a house that he had been very envious of since his previous life. When I came to the southwest base of City A, some planting methods suitable for family crops have been popularized in the base, as well as simple purification methods for water sources, etc.
After that, there were exploration teams that successively obtained seeds of mutated crops from the original farmland near City A, and after analysis and identification by the research society, some of them were popularized with large yields, short planting cycles, and basic energy for the human body.
At that time, I only had a basement of less than 10 square meters, and the window was only a thin line, and it was often blocked by the buildings on the left and right to prevent sunlight. Not unlike the early arrivals, who have a small area on the roof of their own that can be equipped with solar panels for their own use. When Luo Xu needs electricity, he must buy it from other people at a high price.
But even so, he planted a lot of crops that didn't need sunlight in a small basement, such as bean sprouts, leeks, garlic and other crops that did not mutate, as well as some mutated crops that could be raised in relatively shady places and had large yields, and finally saved a lot of money.
Luo Xun's brain is very strong, even if the external conditions are very poor, he can find a way to survive, not to mention that he is alive again?
Only eight buildings have been built in the early stage of Hongjing Community, some of which are relocation houses in a certain district in the north of the city, and the remaining six buildings are commercial houses ready for sale.
This community has just been capped for more than three months, and the house I rent now has only been renovated for less than a month.
Until the end of the world, only four of the remaining houses that are still under construction have been built, two of which have just been capped, and the remaining two have not even had doors and windows installed. The two houses were finally completed after the end of the world, after it became a safe zone, under the supervision of the troops. The rest of the houses that had already been built were sold before the end of the world came, and no one knew where their original owners were, and they were naturally divided among the survivors.
The house I rented was a house for a family of three in my previous life, and they rented it half a month before the end of the world. Although the decoration of this house is good, it is a completely empty house, there are no household appliances, most of the migrant workers in the metropolis will choose to rent the house with their bags, who cares what materials you use for home decoration? How much did it cost?
Therefore, the house has not been rented out in this community with an average rent of about 3,000 yuan, and the landlord's family has been making housework between several brothers and sisters because of the old man's inheritance, so no electrical appliances have been added until the tenant arrives.
The later owner of this house, Luo Xun, knew Wu, because his house was a duplex that occupied two floors, and the orientation of the house was excellent, and when he could buy solar panels from the military in the later period, almost all the exterior walls of his house were hung up. But unless Luo Xun really can't buy electricity, he won't go to his house to buy it at all.
The woman known as Sister Wu has an extremely strong personality and loves to take advantage of small advantages. I usually go to other people's houses to buy electricity more often, and there will be some discounts after both parties get acquainted. But his family doesn't give discounts, not to mention, Luo Xun's newly bought rechargeable battery was replaced with an old one after being charged once at his house!
At that time, the two sides almost fought, but his husband, son, and her, three big shoulders and round waists stood at the door, seeing that if they dared to say more, they would throw themselves down from the sixteenth floor, so they had to swallow this breath.
And his family, relying on the good location of the house, can feed the family very nourishingly every day just by selling electricity, not only is the family not like other people's families to breed crops, but the son of the family is several years older than Luo Xun, but he has never even been out of the safety zone once! Wouldn't go out to join the expedition, and his mother couldn't bear it.
The landlord of this house is still not there after the end of the world, and has he not returned to the southwest base? Luo Xun didn't know, but I'm afraid he should have died in this natural disaster. Even if they come back, according to the rules enforced by the base in the future, they can't go back to their original house, and the base will be allocated separately.
Luo Xun is not a mother who saves the suffering, he was an ordinary low-level ordinary person in his previous life, and he has never thought about what he wants to do in this life.
Now that he has the house he needs, he has a nest to live in, and he wants to build a fortress, a home where he can live a better life than in his previous life, and a home where he can survive the long and terrible end times with peace of mind.
Now, there are 57 days left until the end times.
