Chapter 7 Installing the Door
The door was chosen by Lu Beiye; it's a cast aluminum armored door.
The door installer went on and on about the advantages of the door: fireproof, soundproof, heat-insulating, and even bulletproof.
Lu Nange nodded repeatedly on the phone, thinking that the little guy was quite good at picking things.
However, Lu Nange still felt that it wasn't enough to survive for three months, so she planned to install another stainless steel door.
The master on the phone... I don't understand, but I respect him!
It's not hard to understand why wealthy people in upscale residential areas might have some unique hobbies!
After some negotiation on price, the installation fee increased from the initial 500 yuan to 5,000 yuan.
The door installer finally relented and agreed to come and install it at 2 PM this afternoon.
After choosing a door, Lu Nange left her phone with Lu Beiye and went out alone.
She was going to get a replacement phone card for the original owner, and then take advantage of today to buy some supplies.
After all, she's spending the money from Lu Beiye's phone right now.
She knew the original owner was a wealthy woman with considerable savings, so she would spend as much as she could today!
It's inconvenient to bring Lu Beiye along.
Lu Beiye also knew that these past two days had only been a bit bad in terms of weather, but there wouldn't be any immediate danger.
I also wanted to test my metal-based superpowers while she was away.
Only someone with superpowers can protect her; otherwise, with those small arms and legs, she'd only be a hindrance, and it would be better for her to jump down.
So, she nodded obediently.
"If your sister comes back late and you're hungry, have some snacks first!"
Lu Beiye nodded seriously: "Yes."
Lu Nange, why does the little guy seem a bit unenthusiastic today?
***
The fierce wind, carrying torrential rain, raged and howled across the land.
Lu Nange felt like the car's windshield wipers were about to smoke.
There were hardly any pedestrians on the road, only a dense array of vehicles struggling to navigate through the rain, their headlights flashing.
After getting a replacement SIM card, Lu Nange used the card to buy a new mobile phone.
She quickly turned on her phone and logged back into WeChat and her bank's app.
When Lu Nange saw the seven-figure deposit in the original owner's account, she felt incredibly envious and jealous!
Envy! Utter envy!
The Lu family's supermarkets are extremely large, and the amount of supplies they store is astonishing.
Let alone her and Lu Beiye, even if you add Lu Xici and his group,
It's enough to eat comfortably until the end of one's life, enough to last several lifetimes.
However, Lu Nange knew in her heart that the apocalypse was not a time to rest easy.
She also needs to prepare some medicines and medical equipment.
Especially for common illnesses in children such as colds and fevers,
Children have weak immune systems, so we can't be careless with them.
She noted down all the medical supplies she found in her phone's notes app.
Medications: Antibiotics, cold medicine, fever reducers, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, gastrointestinal medicines, antihistamines...
Medical supplies: First aid kit, bandages, gauze, tourniquet, iodine, alcohol, cotton swabs, adhesive bandages...
In addition, seeds, planting tools, and energy equipment are also necessities, which are crucial for long-term survival.
Lu Nange turned on her phone's navigation and wandered through the streets and alleys, visiting several pharmacies and purchasing a batch of basic medicines.
But she didn't dare buy too much, since being too flashy would easily attract attention.
As she selected medicines, she carefully observed and compared the layouts of the various pharmacies.
I selected two pharmacies whose entrances were relatively easy to enter, and silently planned in my mind, before the flood submerged them...
I need to find an opportunity to come here for a "zero-dollar purchase" to replenish my medicine reserves.
[Ding! Check-in at the pharmacy! Host, do you wish to check in?]
[Check-in!]
[Rewards: Strength +1, Speed +1, Recovery Ability +1, Strength Pill +3, Marrow Cleansing Pill +2, sent to system inventory. Please check!]
She sat in the driver's seat, holding a sign that read, "This powerful pill can lift up to 300 pounds, and one pill will last for a month!"
Lu Nange's lips curved into a smile; she really got exactly what she wanted!
...
With a pleasant mood, Lu Nange searched for nearby electromechanical markets, hardware stores, and outdoor product markets.
They found that the electromechanical market was the closest, so they went there directly.
I bought diesel generators, gasoline generators, and solar generators from different specialty stores...
They were all put into the system inventory.
After finishing my work, I checked the time and hurried home!
After collecting the supplies from Lujia Supermarket tonight and tomorrow, I'll continue with the free shopping spree and stock up...
Since it's flooded, I might as well save some water first.

When Lu Nange entered the residential area, she told the property management that she wanted to replace her door.
As soon as Lu Nange stepped into the house, she saw Lu Beiye curled up on the sofa, his eyes following her around.
As she changed into her slippers, she asked, "Ah Ye, are you hungry?"
Lu Beiye: "I ate bread and drank milk, I'm not hungry."
Lu Nange... So sad. Why is the little guy who was nestled in my arms yesterday now such a cold-hearted boy?
"How about I make you some seafood noodles, and you can have some more?"
Lu Nange had to cook since she was a child, so her cooking skills are pretty good.
After moving in by myself, I won't be stingy with my food.
In my spare time, I watch short videos to learn how to cook. Now I can make so many different kinds of food. Making a bowl of delicious seafood noodles is a piece of cake.
Soon, Lu Beiye smelled an enticing aroma wafting from the kitchen.
My stomach rumbled twice.
Three years is still too long? Has my older sister learned to cook already?
Two steaming bowls of seafood noodles were served.
The chewy noodles are soaked in a milky white broth, garnished with bright red shrimp and scallions, making it look incredibly appetizing.
Lu Beiye was drinking soup from a large bowl.
Lu Nange couldn't help but tease, "Aye, is what your sister makes really delicious?"
Lu Beiye then looked up from the bowl, still wearing his cool expression, and nodded emphatically: "Mmm! Delicious."
He thought to himself, "This is so delicious! After all, I was eating bugs just yesterday..."
After we finished eating, the door installer called.
In this residential complex, each floor requires individual access control or a card swipe.
Lu Nange opened the access control.
The door installer, along with several workers, carried the door upstairs.
All afternoon, clanging and banging sounds echoed around my house, with the sounds of electric drills and hammers going up and down.
Lu Nange would occasionally come out to check on the progress, and seeing the two-story gate that was almost finished, she felt much safer.
Lu Beiye glanced at Lu Nange every now and then, feeling that his sister seemed to have been reborn as well.
Everything I've done these past two days seems to be in preparation for the end of the world!
Not sure, let's see...
