Chapter 22 Childhood Shadow



Chapter 22 Childhood Shadow

He Rui planned to knock on the door again later.

If you can't knock the door open, wait until the protagonist goes out, find a chance to rush into the house and talk to the protagonist.

I hope the protagonist doesn’t punch him again and drive him away as soon as they meet.

No, He Rui was not going to run away even if he was beaten.

At that time, even if he was punched in the face, he would walk into the house and have a sincere communication with the protagonist's grandson.

Even if he was rejected again, he hoped to get more information about the end of the world from this guy.

He Rui continued to make a list.

As for furniture, he just needs a bed where he can have a good rest.

There happened to be a bed in the master bedroom of 701 that had not been moved away.

He is not a germaphobe. It's just a bed frame that someone else has slept on. He just needs to change the bedding.

It's just a little bit big and takes up some space.

Besides that, he also wants to get some fitness equipment.

For fear of wasting too much space and affecting the storage of supplies, He Rui planned to only prepare some levers, dumbbells, barbells, treadmills, etc.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

Lock the door from inside the house so that it cannot be easily picked.

Then he has three houses at the same time.

There was a high probability that while he was in one of the houses, the other two would be robbed.

But even if he knew he was stealing, he couldn't go out and fight. After all, he was too weak, and going out would just be giving away his head.

Free of charge.

It's a pity that the elevator is connected to the upper and lower floors, otherwise he could have installed an extra large iron door at the safety passage on this floor.

If the neighbors upstairs and downstairs want to rob his floor, at least there is an extra protective barrier.

Moreover, if the iron door was made with crude craftsmanship, it should not be unfinished when the end of the world comes.

After thinking about it for a while, He Rui suddenly felt stupid.

He forgot one thing.

The tsunami that will occur in twenty-six days will also inevitably affect the power station.

Even if the power station is fine, if the community's distribution room is on the ground floor and a tsunami comes and the distribution room is flooded, the entire community will definitely lose power.

The tsunami brought a large amount of seawater that has not receded for a long time. It is estimated that it will be difficult for someone to come and repair the electricity in the community in a short time.

Of course, the direction may be different from what he expected.

Looking at the bright side, maybe the power station will not be damaged, and the distribution station is on the top floor and will not be affected by the tsunami.

Or, even if they are all damaged, it is not impossible that the Chinese government, in order to prevent people's lives from deteriorating too much, will choose to repair the circuits in various places as soon as possible to ensure power supply to the people.

But no matter what, He Rui felt that the elevator was likely to become useless and unable to operate for a long time.

There shouldn't be any awesome neighbor who would just pry open the elevator door and climb up along the elevator cable.

He Rui recalled chatting with a man who worked in elevator maintenance. The man told him that maintenance personnel could use a professional triangular key to open the elevator shaft door from the outside, and then they could go to the top of the car and manually drive the car, so that they could open any door on the entire floor.

But he didn't understand what manual driving was, and whether he could still make it move manually if there was a power outage.

Car.

He estimated that it must be around a thousand kilograms. What strong person could drag this thing up manually?

He Rui thought, I should consider whether I can install an iron gate at the safety passage.

However, if the property management discovers that iron doors are installed in public areas, they will inevitably be required to be removed for reasons such as blocking fire escape routes and endangering public safety.

So when the time comes, we can only use the method of procrastination, and delay as much as possible until the day of the end of the world comes, and then no one will care...

He Rui pondered in the room for a while and decided to give up buying a treadmill.

After all, if there is a power outage, the treadmill can only be used for more than 20 days.

Then it is placed in the corner to collect dust.

He might as well leave the space where he was going to put the treadmill empty and put a few more cubic meters of food in it.

He Rui wondered what else he needed.

A generator is a must, and more gasoline and diesel are needed for the generator.

besides.

You also need to buy a lot of things like solar rechargeable lamps, flashlights, headlamps, fluorescent sticks, batteries, etc.

There has to be a light source...

It would be fine in the open air with moonlight, but if the room was sealed with lead sheets, with only a gap for breathing, it would be a relatively closed environment. If the power went out again, the room would be pitch black, and he really couldn't stay there.

This is the psychological trauma left by He Rui's childhood.

When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I didn’t want to study on weekends, so I quarreled with my mother and insisted on going out to play.

The bad-tempered mother became angry.

Although his single mother, who has a strong personality, loves him, she can be extremely cruel to him when she gets angry.

When he wanted to go out to play, Ms. He became furious and locked him in a dark, windowless, and lightless storage room under the stairs of her house for a day and a night.

After his sister stayed outside the door and cried with him for several hours, she unkindly left him and went back upstairs, leaving him alone in the small dark room, trembling with fear.

Since then, with the threat of the small dark room, he worked hard and his academic performance has always been at the top.

But it also left a shadow on my childhood, and I was afraid of staying alone in a dark and enclosed room without any light.

If there's a person, a puppy, or a living thing breathing, then it's fine.

Or if you hang a national flag above his bed, he won't be afraid.

But if these conditions cannot be met, he needs light, otherwise he will easily suffer from palpitations, nausea, and difficulty breathing.

This is the only weakness that He Rui has found difficult to talk about in his 26 years of life.
