Chapter 14 Neighbors
In the previous life, Lu Yi also asked Yu Duoduo to go out for dinner together. She happily dressed up for two hours, but they were all chatting about work over cups and glasses. Yu Duoduo couldn't get a word in at all and was left out coldly.
Later I found out that the department had a dinner party where everyone took turns to pay for the meal. Lu Yi’s credit card was maxed out, so he took her to pay the bill. What a bastard!
Squeak~squeak—squeak~squeak—
Suddenly, there was an unusual noise coming from outside the door...
Yu Duoduo opened the security door vigilantly and looked out through the stainless steel sliding door.
Wow, there were two workers installing a door in the hallway. The door was only 1 meter away from her front door, and it was a double-layer anti-theft door...
What's going on?
"Hey, neighbor, you finally got up. It was so noisy outside, but you didn't wake up! I'm almost done with the installation, and you finally got up!"
Yu Duoduo looked at the person outside the door in disbelief. Isn’t this Xie Yun?
"When you say moving, do you mean moving next door to me?"
"Well~ we'll be neighbors again from now on." Xie Yun had a handsome smile on his face.
As for why he said...
Before the Xie family became rich, they were neighbors and lived next door to each other for more than ten years. They could be said to have grown up together.
Yu Duoduo opened the stainless steel door and pulled Xie Yun aside.
"You are so good! Why didn't you tell me earlier? When I saw you the other day, you tried to fool me!"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I ran into your uncle and his family the night before yesterday. I thought they told you."
Yu Duoduo suddenly remembered that the door of the neighboring house was opened after his uncle and his family left the day before. It seemed like it was intentional!
However, Yu Duoduo felt a little complicated at this time.
"Why don't you live in a nice villa and come to live in an apartment?" She couldn't understand...
"You know, my parents are abroad all year round, and I feel lonely living alone in that suburban villa!
So I sold it and bought this one. It’s a little small, but it’s better with you living next door. This way, we can be neighbors again! Just like when we were kids! ”
Xie Yun in this life is really foresighted!
In just a few days, his villa area would be completely submerged in the flood. Not only did he sell his villa first, he also moved here...
She was naturally happy that he could move in. Xie Yun was a doctor and also the captain of a rescue team. He had saved her life during a flood in her previous life.
Having him by my side in the end times is like having wings for a tiger, and the possibility of survival is increased a little bit.
But this is different from the previous life.
In her previous life, she had never met the people in the next-door house. Every household kept their doors closed, for fear of having any interaction with others and being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
But now, he actually moved next door to her. Does it mean... that things in this life will be different from the previous one?
The peace of mind that I had originally felt because I had the memories of my past life and could predict what was about to happen was once again lifted up.
Just as Yu Duoduo was lost in thought, the master door installer looked up and recognized her.
It’s the same guy who replaced the door for her house last time!
"Girl, your boyfriend is really nice. To ensure your safety, he installed such a sturdy door. These are the most expensive ones in our store!"
Yu Duoduo...? ?
Just when she was about to say that Xie Yun was not her boyfriend, the master did not give her a chance and continued to introduce:
"Look, this inner layer is a fireproof and explosion-proof tempered glass door with a fingerprint lock. It does not affect the sight of the corridor and can prevent fire and theft!
Don’t underestimate the outer layer, as it is just an ordinary stainless steel door. It actually contains high-tech.
The steel pillars are made of unbreakable reinforced steel and are connected to batteries. When the anti-theft switch is turned on, a microcurrent will be generated on the door.
If someone tries to force the lock, they will be electrocuted! But there will be no danger to life! "
Yu Duoduo couldn't help but give a thumbs up after listening to it. This kind of thing is simply a solid wall with MAX defense in the end times!
She turned her head to look at Xie Yun. Moving and installing doors, could it be that he was also...
Since there were outsiders around, Yu Duoduo held back his words and stood by the door watching silently.
In a short while, the door was installed.
But as soon as the masters left, several Hemu deliverymen came out of the elevator and pushed several large carts of things towards them...
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xie's house? Hemu delivery."
Xie Yun opened the door and asked the delivery man to bring the things in. "Two copies of each item, one to her house and one to mine."
Imported Thai rice, flour, noodles, oil, eggs, self-heating pots, instant noodles, and milk are all priced by the box.
Premium steaks, lamb legs, chicken fillets, cod and pork belly are all packed into small packages in vacuum bags and stuffed full into a battery-powered freezer, which is thoughtfully delivered with an extra-large freezer.
Dried vegetables such as dried cabbage, dried bamboo shoots, dried carrots, dried lettuce slices, dried cowpeas, and dried goods such as abalone, sea urchin, squid, cuttlefish, scallops, dried shrimps, dried oysters, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and red dates are all packed in moisture-proof sealed boxes, 4 large boxes each.
The delivery team of four made six trips before they delivered all the supplies.
Not only did they fill up the open kitchen of Yu Duo's house, but they also filled up the living room...
Yu Duoduo was stunned, and approached Xie Yun and asked: "What is going on here?"
"I got an insider message from the Meteorological Bureau from an old friend, saying that the rainfall will increase sharply in the next week and there may be large-scale floods, so I was asked to stock up on food.
Seeing that you are usually busy with work and don’t cook, I placed an order with yours yesterday! Just consider it as a greeting gift for the neighbors who have moved into a new home!
Didn’t you tell me last time that you would stock up the house and wait for you to come and eat? This is it! "
Yu Duoduo looked at Xie Yun, something was wrong with him.
From selling his house and moving, to installing doors in the walkway, to delivering supplies, everything seemed to be done unintentionally, but everything contained the way to survive in the apocalypse.
But she immediately gave up guessing what others were thinking, because human hearts could not stand speculation, not to mention that she herself had her own secrets.
It’s a good thing that Xie Yun took the initiative to stockpile food. He will be safer if he has food!
It’s not that she doesn’t trust her childhood friends, but she has been in the apocalypse for too long and has seen too much.
In the face of life and death, emotions are the most fragile and intangible things.
Her caution made her feel guilty and conflicted in front of her childhood sweetheart.
However, with the supplies he sent, the food I stockpiled can be considered to be out of the question, and when I take it out in the future, it will not arouse suspicion.
"Thank you! Lunch is my treat, how about takeout?"
Yu Duoduo wanted to return a little favor. The supplies he bought, such as marbled steak, flavored lamb legs, abalone, sea urchin, etc., were beyond the reach of a common person like her.
"Would you like to treat me to some soup? Luckily the delivery was made by a high-floor truck, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to get through."
As Xie Yun spoke, he pointed outside the aisle window. The water on the road had already reached above the knees of the pedestrians. Many cars parked on the roadside had been flooded over their doors. They were undoubtedly flooded cars.
The water level is rising so fast and it’s only noon!
Yu Duoduo remembered that in her previous life, at about 5pm, when she accompanied Lu Yi to the shopping mall in front, there was only a little water, not even her shoes...
So the end of the world has come early!
