Three days later, with the help of Wu Huairen's connection, Zhang Yi successfully obtained two guns and 100 bullets. Although the price was rather high, Zhang Yi didn't mind at all. With this hefty equipment in his hands, he felt more confident about his safety during the apocalypse.

Also, he had completed the deal with Zhou Hairun for the drugs needed for the apocalypse and directly got two boxes of high - end imported drugs.

Another week passed. Wu Huairen called Zhang Yi and told him that the safe house had been built according to his requirements and asked him to come back for inspection.

Only then did Zhang Yi leave the hotel where he had stayed for quite a while and drove back to Yuelu Community.

Wu Huairen personally accompanied Zhang Yi to inspect the house. When Zhang Yi got home and took a look, he couldn't help but be impressed. The Zhanlong Company truly deserved to be a first - class security company in China. Their speed and quality in building the safe house were impeccable.

The whole house had been reinforced with 100 - millimeter - thick steel plates as Zhang Yi had requested, and from the outside, it looked no different from before.

Wu Huairen patiently explained to Zhang Yi one by one.

"The ventilation system is of military - grade quality. It can filter any harmful gases to prevent any gas - based attacks from the outside."

"Moreover, the heating system of the whole house has been completely redone. Professional - grade materials from the Arctic Research Institute are used."

"Besides the fireplace built according to your request, it can also prevent 99.5% of heat loss."

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

"Also, for your safety, we have installed a surveillance system throughout the whole building. There are 300 cameras in total, allowing you to monitor every floor of the building."

After hearing all this, Zhang Yi was so astonished that he didn't know what to say. He could only sigh that having money was truly wonderful, enabling one to purchase services unimaginable to ordinary people.

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

Wu Huairen explained, "The materials of the window are all bulletproof and explosion - proof, and even stronger than the 100 - millimeter - thick steel plates."

"And it's convenient for lighting and necessary external observation."

Zhang Yi was extremely satisfied with this safe house. Probably, unless it was an army with heavy weapons, no one could forcibly break into his home. Even if the whole building collapsed, his room would probably remain intact.

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

Wu Huairen also smiled. He took out the documents and asked Zhang Yi to sign them, and then said, "If there's no problem, please pay the balance within three months."

Zhang Yi nodded with a smile, "Sure, sure!"

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

However, he had no intention of paying the balance. Thinking that he had only spent a deposit of one million yuan and got a nearly ten - million - yuan safe house for free was really great!

Zhang Yi lay on the sofa, looking at his almost perfect safe house. But after thinking for a while, he realized that he had overlooked a very important thing - the source of life!

Zhang Yi slapped his forehead. "Damn it! How could I forget something as important as water?"

After the ice - age apocalypse arrived, although it was freezing cold outside and water could be obtained by chipping ice, by then, the outside temperature would generally be minus sixty to seventy degrees Celsius. Moreover, going outside would mean potential danger. Zhang Yi could never tolerate such a big loophole in his safe house!

After thinking about it, he directly placed an order through the food delivery platform and bought 100 huge water storage barrels. Each could store 500 cubic meters of water at a time, which was enough for him to use for several years.

Plus, he could get mineral water from the warehouse later. Thus, the water resource problem was perfectly solved.

The delivery man was really fast. A few hours later, the goods were delivered to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi went to the entrance of the community and asked Security Guard Uncle You to let the delivery man in.

Seeing that Zhang Yi had bought so many strange things again, the neighbors around started talking among themselves.

"What's wrong with this Zhang Yi? Is he crazy?"

"Yeah, he buys strange things every day."

"The other day when his house was being renovated, I saw many people carrying steel plates at least ten centimeters thick."

"Hehe, maybe he's gone mad. He's building a safe house like in the movies!"

"I also saw some rich people in foreign videos building such things out of boredom. Isn't this completely unnecessary worry?"

"Now he's bought so many water barrels. Could it be that he thinks Tianhai City will be short of water in the future? Hahaha!"

Facing the neighbors' ridicule as if they were watching a show, Zhang Yi was too lazy to argue with them. He just sneered in his heart. When the ice - age apocalypse arrives, you'll understand how stupid you are now.

Zhang Yi had no interest in explaining to them. Because these people would only regard Zhang Yi as a fool and wouldn't listen to his well - intentioned advice at all. They might even turn around and accuse Zhang Yi of spreading rumors and disturbing social order. Then he might be arrested.

Security Guard Uncle You was chatting with Neighbor Grandpa Tang. Uncle You walked over enthusiastically and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what on earth are you buying so many water barrels for? If you need any help, just tell me, and I'll give you a hand."

Looking at the warm - hearted Uncle You, Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. Uncle You was a retired soldier, childless, and had been a security guard in the community for more than ten years, always performing his duties conscientiously.

In the previous life, he donated his last bit of food to help a mother and daughter who were on the verge of starving to death, and he himself starved to death. He was one of the few glimmers of humanity that Zhang Yi had seen during the apocalypse.

So Zhang Yi said to Uncle You, "Uncle You, the temperature this year is a bit abnormal. I have inside information that this winter will be very tough."

"Just to be on the safe side, you'd better stock up on some food and drinks too. Otherwise, the prices of supplies might increase."

Uncle You and Zhang Yi usually had a good relationship. He knew that Zhang Yi was a warm - hearted and kind - hearted young man.

Plus, older people are always more prone to having a sense of worry. So when he heard Zhang Yi say this, he immediately frowned.

"Xiao Zhang, is it true? Is the information reliable?"

Zhang Yi nodded. "Look, I've prepared so many things. You can stock up on some instant noodles and mineral water. You can't go wrong with having more of these things."

Uncle You immediately nodded. He lived alone, and his family usually liked to stock up on some instant noodles and ham sausages for the convenience of cooking.

Since Zhang Yi had reminded him, he would take the time to buy more. Just to buy some peace of mind. Anyway, those things can be stored, and there's no harm in having more.

However, Neighbor Grandpa Tang, who was standing nearby, walked over and said to Zhang Yi, "Xiao Zhang, don't go around saying things like this."

"Our society is stable and harmonious now. How could there be a shortage of supplies? Saying such things, be careful that you might be reported for spreading rumors. Then you'll be in trouble!"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and didn't pay much attention. He had already given the reminder he could. It was up to them whether to believe it or not.
