◎Happy fifth day: giving birth to another uncle◎

The scenery outside the car window flew by, and Jiang Muyun couldn't take his eyes off it.

There were tall buildings outside and the bustling voices of people in her ears. She hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time.

Jiang Muyun looked around like this all the way, even wasting three hours walking back home from the station.

Listen to the hawking on the street, the car horns, and the laughter of pedestrians.

It was dinner time when Jiang Muyun came back, and there were not many people in the community.

She took out her access card and swiped it to open the door of the unit, and the elevator just stopped on the first floor.

Jiang Muyun entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 15th floor. Without any pause, the elevator took Jiang Muyun directly to his doorstep.

Standing in the familiar corridor, looking at the slightly peeling paint on the number 1501, Jiang Muyun took out his key. From finding the keyhole to removing the key and closing the door, it was all muscle memory, and his movements were extremely skillful.

When Jiang Muyun sat on the old, peeling sofa, turned on the TV and air conditioner, and felt the cool breeze in the hot summer, she truly felt that she was alive again.

She lay comfortably on the armrest of the sofa for a while, then looked at the time. It was seven o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Muyun set off at six in the morning. The high-speed train from Xishi to Nanshi took more than seven hours. Then Jiang Muyun walked home from the station. He didn't expect that a whole day would pass like this.

Jiang Muyun collapsed on the sofa for a while, struggled to get up and took a shower, then took out a portion of the packed food in the space.

After dinner, she took out the old man's collections.

There are his military medals, military uniform, and some old things.

Jiang Muyun touched the military uniform that the old man treasured, found a large storage box, put all the old man's old things in it, and then put the storage box into the space and placed it in a corner away from clutter.

Jiang Muyun stood up and stretched, then turned on all the desktop computers and laptops in the house, found a video website at random, and started downloading TV dramas and various variety shows in batches on both computers.

Fortunately, her broadband package had not expired when she left home.

Then it’s time to organize your shopping list.

The list needs to be carried with you at all times, and you have to mark off each item you buy, so the original one with traces of deletions and modifications looks too messy.

Jiang Muyun didn't want to embarrass her eyes, so she chose to copy it again.

Originally, Jiang Muyun only wanted to stockpile enough food, medicine, and daily necessities to ensure survival needs, with "being able to stay alive" as the standard for everything.

But now, Jiang Muyun looked at his balance and felt that he could still improve the quality of his life while still being "alive".

She spent nearly 600,000 yuan on a large purchase in the West City, and now has more than 2.28 million yuan left.

From now on, it will take about half a year until the existing currency completely loses its value.

She decided to keep the remaining 80,000 yuan as her expenses for the period.

Later, when everyone was frantically waving money to exchange for supplies, if she didn't have to spend any money and could still live well, it would be easy for her to become a fat sheep in the eyes of others.

Jiang Muyun planned to spend the remaining two million in two places.

One is to purchase supplies, and the other is to renovate houses.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, although people were in panic due to famine, there was still basic social order as the government had absolute military advantage.

Until the arrival of acid rain, large areas of buildings that had been battered by the weather could no longer hold up and turned into ruins. The authorities were overwhelmed and unable to cope with the situation. The existing food and water resources were drastically reduced. In addition, after the rain stopped, mosquitoes became rampant and plagues were rampant everywhere. The people who had been in panic for a long time completely lost control.

The neighborhood where Jiang Muyun lived was originally a compound for government officials' families, home to many retired cadres. Later, during urban renewal, it was demolished and rebuilt, bringing in many new residents, but most of the original residents also chose to move back.

If nothing else, the construction quality here is absolutely excellent.

Back then, Jiang Muyun watched Grandpa Jiang and his group of old friends come over from time to time to supervise the work.

The old people of Grandpa Jiang's generation have experienced no less hardships in their lives than Jiang Muyun experienced in the end times. There is no way to fool them.

If nothing unexpected happens, her home can shelter her for quite a long time in the apocalypse, so of course she has to settle down at home.

As long as the house doesn't collapse, Jiang Muyun is willing to live here forever.

Jiang Muyun's eyelids began to twitch as he wrote.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that it was already the next day.

It is now August 23, 2023 in the Blue Planet calendar, and there are still forty-two days before the global cooling.

After leaning over the computer and checking the download progress of her spiritual food, Jiang Muyun did not rush to put away the luggage she brought back.

She first called a housekeeping company and asked them to clean every corner of the house.

Jiang Muyun had personally experienced how terrifying the insect plague was after the end of the world.

Every inconspicuous corner may be a breeding ground for all kinds of creatures.

In my previous life, I heard that there were bugs in the wooden floor of someone’s house. The bugs filled the gaps under the floor and forced cracks into the floor, which was then discovered.

Fortunately, when Grandpa Jiang lived in the old house, he was fed up with the creaking sound of the old wooden floors, so he paved the house with tiles after moving back. Otherwise, Jiang Muyun would have had to scrape the floor and re-pave it.

The housekeeping company was cleaning the house, and Jiang Muyun was not idle either.

After she measured the sizes of the doors and windows in her house, she changed her clothes.

Jiang Muyun in the mirror was wearing a chiffon long skirt, high heels, sunglasses, a sun hat with a large brim, and bright red lipstick.

Jiang Muyun felt hot just looking at this outfit.

She wrapped her flip-flops in a plastic bag and stuffed them into her bag.

Then he bought a lace parasol on the street, took the subway to the suburbs, found a medium-sized door and window factory, and customized a few windows from the factory.

They are all specially made double-layer tempered glass, which has thermal insulation, sound insulation and odor insulation, and has first-class sealing.

The windows are all custom-made according to the window size. The order must be placed first and then the production is done. The stock in the factory is owned by someone, so Jiang Muyun has to wait about ten days before the window installer comes to his house.

The double-glazed windows that Jiang Muyun bought are rare in the south, not to mention that she wanted tempered glass.

Such double-glazed windows are generally found in northern regions. In order to withstand the severe cold of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius in winter, people install such thickened windows in their homes.

The windows that Jiang Muyun wanted could be shipped within ten days because of Nanshi’s unique geographical location.

Nanshi is located right on the north-south dividing line of China. Its winters are cold, but not that cold. Therefore, the people living in Nanshi only have winters with temperatures as low as -7 or -8 degrees Celsius, and there is no central heating.

Some people choose to rely on their own financial resources and use air conditioners and electric heaters to keep warm. Others, unable to bear the dryness of air conditioning, choose to rely on their own physical strength and endure it with their own integrity.

Some people cannot stand the dryness and lack righteousness, so they can only think of solutions elsewhere, such as installing special windows in their homes.

Therefore, this type of window is quite popular in Nanshi. The factory has sufficient stock and the workers are all experienced, the only difference is the production skills.

Then there is the door.

In the end times, the person knocking on the door may not be a human or a ghost, so a single security door is not really safe.

So Jiang Muyun picked out an extremely ugly big iron gate, which was probably a prison-specific style, and it just happened to fit the size of Jiang Muyun's house.

The person who greeted Jiang Muyun said that a customer had ordered a door and then walked away. Because the material was high quality and the cost was not low, the factory had been selling it. If Jiang Muyun wanted it, they would give her the lowest price.

Anyway, the cost of this door has already been paid by its original owner.

The windows Jiang Muyun ordered were very valuable, so this little discount was nothing.

Jiang Muyun nodded without thinking and asked if they could come to install it as soon as possible.

The man was very happy to be able to get rid of such an unsaleable product, and he immediately promised to have someone come to install it the next day.

Jiang Muyun walked around twice more and went to the door and window factory next door to buy a few thick light-blocking curtains. The curtains would be delivered together with the windows.

After buying the doors and windows, Jiang Muyun spent some time nearby and rented a small warehouse.

Jiang Muyun chatted with her uncle, the old smoker, who was the warehouse manager, for half an hour. Jiang Muyun then met the warehouse manager's uncle again and spent five thousand yuan to buy a van that had been used for who knows how many times.

Just looking at the appearance, it looks like it was pulled back from the battlefield in the Middle East, but it drives very smoothly and has all kinds of certificates, which makes Jiang Muyun marvel.

It is indeed the legendary domestic magic car. Its power is unknown, but it becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents.

It’s hard to say what other advantages this car has, but it’s definitely durable.

She didn't have any other requirements. She couldn't afford a good car, nor did she need to buy one. A durable car was enough.

Jiang Muyun paid the money happily, and his third uncle also brought all the documents. Both of them had local household registration, so they went directly to the vehicle management office to transfer the ownership.

This uncle is indeed a professional in buying and selling used cars. Entering the vehicle management office is like returning home. He is more familiar with the used car transfer process than the staff.

When Jiang Muyun walked out of the vehicle management office, she could drive away directly in this damaged van.

Since everyone is now in the city, Jiang Muyun is no longer in a hurry to go to the suburbs.

She saw a mountain bike store nearby, so she went in to take a look around and ordered five speed mountain bikes.

They were all off-road mountain tires, and she also bought dozens of extra tires and a lot of spare parts to facilitate her future replacement and repairs.

After the end of the world, there is an energy shortage. It is impossible for ordinary people to get fuel, and gasoline-powered cars have almost become scrap metal.

Not to mention that under the repeated erosion of floods, acid rain and earthquakes, there is simply not much space left for ordinary family cars to drive, and new energy vehicles with insufficient power naturally have no room to play.

This kind of mountain bike with strong passability and no energy consumption is the best means of transportation.

Jiang Muyun and her boss agreed on a time that these cars and accessories would be delivered to the small warehouse she rented at six o'clock tonight.

Jiang Muyun drove her old car slowly towards the small warehouse.

Passing by a construction site on the way, Jiang Muyun spent a little money and filled a few bags of cement and sand.

The drought at the beginning of the apocalypse made the toilets at home completely useless.

Later, the backflow of sewage during floods and the insects that crawled into homes through various water pipes and vents during insect plagues became nightmares for countless families.

Buy some cement now and plug them all up once and for all.

Jiang Muyun also took the opportunity to find out where the workers usually ate, and then went to each restaurant one by one, ordering all their signature dishes.

While filling his own stomach, Jiang Muyun also ordered food for hundreds of people.

This time she picked dishes that produced a lot of smoke and had a strong odor.

Instead of asking her boss to deliver the goods, she made an appointment with the store owners and drove over to pick them up herself.

If you want to find a restaurant that's both delicious and affordable, you still have to mobilize the power of the people. Jiang Muyun sighed as he sat in the car.

As for rice, rice in Nanshi is charged, so Jiang Muyun thought she should go back and steam more.

The tattered van drove along a bumpy concrete road, and the several snakeskin bags in the car disappeared without a trace.

When the van passed this road again, the mountain bikes also entered Jiang Muyun's space.

After Jiang Muyun picked up the dishes she ordered during the day, she learned from the owner of a restaurant that a new plastic processing factory had opened in the South City Industrial Zone, and the wholesale price of food boxes was very cheap. The small restaurants in their area planned to put together an order for larger batches.

Jiang Muyun felt that he was really lucky.

The author has something to say:

I don't know if anyone has seen the video of Shouhou. I was shocked when I saw it. Let's just assume that the female protagonist's car is the same model as Shouhou.
