Although living in a high-rise building is troublesome, Su Nian does not want to live in someone else's house, let alone live among people. After all, she lives alone in a high-rise building and it is relatively quiet.

Apart from going downstairs every day, Su Nian felt that living alone was pretty good.

After November, the supermarket was taken over by the state.

Those who used to cause trouble in the supermarket no longer have the courage to do so and can only target other people who are buying supplies.

Su Nian had been targeted several times before. Just one encounter and Su Nian knew that those people had blood on their hands.

Su Nian had no mercy on such people and usually killed them with one blow.

Every dark night, someone dies.

The higher-ups also sent people to patrol, suppress and manage the situation, but the effect was not significant.

Staying alive has become a luxury, who would obey discipline?

As the New Year approaches, there is not only no joyful atmosphere, but it becomes more and more depressing.

The extreme heat causes food to spoil faster.

Even uncooked rice and flour can contain worms.

In the past, rice weevils in rice flour or red flour beetles in white flour (red flour beetles are a kind of insect) were all very small.

But now, the size of these two insects has become much larger, even larger than ordinary pearl rice.

Some people feel sick when they open the grain barrel and see it is full of crawling insects.

It's not because of fear, but because of despair caused by the lack of food.

Food is already hard to buy, and after you buy it, it's infested with insects. How can this not make people despair?

The small group was originally quite harmonious, but gradually no one chatted anymore.

Before, when Su Nian went out at night, he could see people going to buy supplies in groups, but now they all keep a distance from each other, and it is obvious that conflicts have arisen.

It is not strange for people who originally lived together temporarily to separate again after having a conflict of interest.

This is also the fundamental reason why Su Nian doesn't want to team up with others.

On New Year's Eve, Su Nian took out a dish of sweet and sour fish, a dish of braised beef in soy sauce, a dish of boiled shrimp, and a dish of broccoli in garlic from the space and celebrated the New Year alone.

This is the first New Year after entering the end times.

At this time in his previous life, Su Nian shared a pot of boiled noodles with the people in the apartment building. When they were dividing the noodles, they almost got into a fight because of the uneven distribution. It was noisy and no one had a smile on their face.

Now, there is no one else around Su Nian, but Su Nian feels that she has had a happy new year.

Su Nian would be satisfied if she could live like this every year.

The power was completely cut off after the New Year, and there has been no water supply truck in the community since then.

The mall is open every night, but there are very few items for takeout. Some people may not even be able to get a seat even after waiting in line for a whole night.

The small rivers and lakes in the city had long been dried up by the sun, but the sun was still scorching the earth. The low shrubs had long been dried up and had been chopped down for firewood. The tall trees were all drooping and half-dead.

Such a life makes people see no hope and despair gradually spreads.

People who have friends and relatives in rural areas decide to go there, but without gasoline and without a car, how to get there becomes a problem.

When we really get there, whether life will be better than it is now is also a question.

Many people also left the community where Su Nian lived.

Someone even came to Su Nian to borrow gasoline, but Su Nian directly refused, saying that he had no gasoline either.

In order to prove that he had no gasoline, Su Nian walked every night when he went out.

There were people who wanted to break into Su Nian's house to take a look, but they couldn't beat Su Nian, so they had to leave reluctantly.

Many people left, but Su Nian was not one of them.

Su Nian was waiting for news from the base.

At this time in his previous life, Su Nian had already gone to the countryside with the people in the apartment building, but life in the countryside was not much better than in the city.

Only deep wells can produce some water; shallow wells produce no water at all.

There are no large shopping malls or supermarkets selling supplies in the countryside. The villagers do have stored food, but they don't sell it outside.

They dug grass roots and ate tree bark, looking for anything edible. Finally, before they starved to death, they heard the news about the base and went to a small base.

But life in a small base is not much better than outside.

Not long after we arrived at the base, the temperature started to drop sharply, and things became even more difficult to endure.

In this life, Su Nian doesn't want to take any detours. She wants to wait here. After the official announcement of the top ten bases, she will go directly to the official base.

The news about the Ten Major Bases was heard from others in my previous life. They said that life in the Ten Major Bases was very good, and was no different from before the end of the world.

Su Nian didn't know when the news from the base would be released, so he simply stopped going out and turned on the radio every day, waiting to hear the news from the base.

Su Nian had specially stockpiled radios beforehand. He bought dozens of them in various models and prices.

I even bought a lot of accessories and other things.

Time quietly entered June. That afternoon, Su Nian was sleeping in a daze when he heard a voice on the radio.

Hearing the word "base", Su Nian suddenly sat up from the bed, staring at the radio and continuing to listen to the news.

The government has established ten major security bases across the country.

Among them, the first safe base is only two hundred kilometers away from the city where Su Nian is located.

Two hundred kilometers is not far. Under normal circumstances, it would take no more than three hours to reach the destination from Su Nian’s community.

Even though the current situation is not normal, Su Nian feels that she can reach the destination within five hours.

Finally getting the news from the base, Su Nian prepared to set off without any hesitation.

It's only five o'clock in the afternoon and there are still several hours before the sun sets.

But Su Nian was not in a hurry. She could use this time to pack up her things.

Su Nian put all the furniture and appliances he was used to into the space.

After dark, Su Nian took down all the solar panels and sunshades and stored them in the space.

As a result, the apartment suddenly became empty.

Thinking that someone would come here to check after he left, Su Nian moved out a set of furniture and appliances from the space and placed them in the apartment.

None of them are good things. Su Nian bought them when he was collecting supplies.

After making sure that everything that could be taken away from home was taken away, Su Nian dressed neatly, closed the door, and walked step by step to the underground parking lot.

There are a lot of cars in the parking lot, but many of them are covered with a thick layer of dust, and it is obvious that no one has driven them for a long time.

Su Nian didn't look at it any further and got into his car directly.

In addition to this Hummer, there are several other cars in Su Nian's space.

Some of them were specially customized by Su Nian, including off-road vehicles, RVs, and heavy trucks.

The other two were bought by Su Nian at a car dealership after prices soared.
