Chapter 6 Giant Safe
When I returned to the apartment, the sun had just set, filling the sky with orange.
Yu Duoduo ordered takeout for dinner. After a tiring day, she ordered a calorie bomb of fried chicken, a hamburger, French fries, and Coke.
I took out the tools bought from the hardware store one by one and piled them in the living room. I also took out an unused tablecloth from the cupboard and laid it under the wall where I was going to drill a hole to catch the debris that fell to the ground.
You are all set!
The apartment is supported by beams and columns, and the walls between rooms are mostly 240mm masonry walls. The walls only serve as partitions and do not bear weight.
As one of the main designers of this apartment, Yu Duoduo knows it better than anyone.
Almost all the people living in the apartment are white-collar workers who go out early and come back late. It's only about 5 o'clock now, and there are 5 holes. If you move quickly, 1 hour should be enough and it shouldn't disturb the neighbors.
Take out a marker and draw a large box on the wall that you want to knock down, marking the location where you want to cut it off.
Plug in the power, squeak~squeak~squeak~squeak~~, the electric one really saves a lot of effort!
Yu Duoduo started working along the marked lines, exerting force with his hands while keeping his eyes closely focused. If a slightly larger brick was about to fall, he would quickly suck it into the space. In this way, after the hole was drilled, the construction waste could be easily taken out and thrown away!
The first door opening took about a quarter of an hour, and finally~ a 1m×2m door opening on the living room wall was completed!
All the debris on the ground was thrown into the space. Yu Duoduo didn't even need to do it himself. He just took a look and cleaned up the area around the hole with his mind.
Crossing the doorway, the interior is in the state of original unified fine decoration when it was delivered.
The fully enclosed partition divides the interior of the house into two floors. There is a staircase connecting the upper and lower floors. Water and electricity are available, and the hard furnishings are basically complete.
Yu Duoduo did not stop for a moment and continued to open the next door. After mastering the trick, it only took him ten minutes to open the second door!
Ding dong~ding dong~ding dong!
It was the doorbell in my room that rang. Was it a neighbor who came up to complain?
At this time, Yu Duoduo was drilling the third hole. She thought that it would not work because the noise was coming from the house next door to hers. Even if she wanted to complain, she shouldn't knock on her door!
Yu Duoduo put the wall drilling tool where it was and went to open the door. It turned out to be the takeaway he ordered!
She had no time to eat takeout, as she had to finish drilling the door before dark so that she could unload everything in the space. She would go out to buy things tomorrow, as in two days, it would be inconvenient to go out after the heavy rain started.
Finally, after an hour, all five doors were completed!
First, take out the charcoal and coal briquettes from the restaurant in the space and place them in the room farthest away next door.
Then, vegetables, fruits, eggs and dried goods were also temporarily moved to the next room by Yu Duoduo.
The newly purchased hardware, paint, etc. were also placed in the next room.
As for medicines, they were carefully placed in Yu Duoduo's study on the second floor. The car refrigerator was plugged in and the air conditioner was turned on to take good care of these precious life-saving medicines for the end of the world.
Except for raw meat, seafood and frozen food that cannot leave the refrigeration and freezing function of the space, all other things were moved by Yu Duoduo to the house next door which was connected to the other side.
The whole thing is like a giant safe installed in your own house!
Even the chickens were placed in a separate large room, with air conditioning, corn, millet and water, and they lived as happily as gods.
In this way, the two rooms, living room, dining room and small garden in the space are all freed up, and the area that can be used when going out increases to 250㎡.
The supplies were finally in order. Looking at the results of her hard work, she collapsed on the sofa with a smile on her face. Maoku followed her example and lay on her back with her legs spread out.
Ding——Mortgage income of 2,500,000 yuan, balance of 2,625,666 yuan.
Ha! Xiao Jin is indeed a loan shark expert who helps people get down payments for houses. He is really fast! The interest rate is a bit high, but that doesn't matter.
Now that the money was in place, he felt much happier. Yu Duoduo opened the takeaway box, spread the fried chicken and French fries on the coffee table, and took two big gulps of ice cola to stay alive!
Ding~ding~ding——
The cell phone rang. It was his uncle calling. Yu Duoduo pressed the speakerphone button. For a moment, his uncle's angry and deep voice filled the whole room.
"Yu Duoduo, have you been to my house?
Everything is turned upside down. Did you take the family savings, the house deeds and your aunt's jade bracelet? You are so naughty at such a young age!
You are committing burglary, which is a crime, you know that?
Return everything to me immediately, or I will call the police!"
Yu Duoduo calmly swallowed the fried chicken in his mouth, then slowly said:
“Then call the police, I’ve already spent the money and can’t pay it back.
As for the bracelet, it was originally my mother's relic. When did it become yours?
Call the police and let them investigate carefully to find out whose house it is, who is the owner and who is the outsider.
Where did the money come from and whose money it was? It was a good opportunity to have the police come and clear out the people in the house!"
After listening to Yu Duoduo's words, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly became quiet... When did this silly girl finally come to her senses?
After a moment, my aunt's voice changed and said:
"Duoduo, listen to me, that money is the compensation for your parents' car accident, and your uncle and aunt saved it for you to use in an emergency. You can't spend it carelessly!
Besides, it’s impossible to spend such a large sum of money all at once, dear child, quickly bring it back and give it to your uncle to save for you, and later…”
Yu Duoduo interrupted her and said, "I'm an adult now, I don't need a guardian to help me save money. The pressure of the mortgage is too great recently, so I used the money to pay off the mortgage in advance!"
"You! You! You! How could you..." My aunt was speechless for a moment because of Yu Duoduo's words.
Yu Duoduo hung up the phone directly. If time wasn’t so tight, she really wanted to sell the old house before the end of the world and use the money to stock up on food.
If you take this type of mortgage loan, you can only get 50% of the house price at most, which means you will lose half of your available cash!
Yu Duoduo sat cross-legged on the floor, spread the list of supplies on the coffee table, crossed out the items he had already bought, and then circled the things that were difficult to buy. He then used his mobile phone to place an order on the shopping website for next-day delivery.
First of all, there is the issue of weapons. The end of the world will be chaotic, and if people really cannot get enough food, the worst side of human nature will be exposed. Looting and smashing will be considered minor offenses, and even murder and dumping of bodies will become commonplace.
Ordinary people don’t have access to heavy weapons like guns, but they can always get some cold weapons.
Yu Duoduo found a store online that specializes in collecting precious swords. Its sword-forging technique has even been included in the national intangible cultural heritage.
From short swords to embroidered spring swords, there are more than a dozen types to choose from. It can be said to be a treasure shop.
Yu Duoduo contacted the boss and learned that there was a batch of goods available for selection. It would arrive in the city tomorrow night via logistics!
Yu Duoduo placed an order immediately and told the boss that all the blades should be sharpened!
The end of the world is dangerous, so in order to be on the safe side, I asked for three of each the 7-inch Yuchang sword, the 12-inch short Tang horizontal sword, and the 21-inch Xiuchun sword.
