However, with just that one thought, Lu Yuan knew that no shells would hit the walls of his house. After the apocalypse, the military's control over weapons was extremely strict, and every gun and every bullet had to be meticulously recorded.
Although there are always a few ungrateful people who have the idea of messing with the military, they all end up dead under gunfire. In Lu Yuan's dreams, cases of guns being stolen are extremely rare.
However, while it is extremely rare, it has happened before. There have been a few cases where desperate criminals, in order to get food, risked their lives to ambush and kill soldiers of the armed forces. In the end, they were all executed. No one can challenge the authority of the state apparatus. However, there are other ways to get guns. The arrival of the apocalypse has completely changed people's lives, and guns can occasionally be bought in some underground black markets.
Therefore, the possibility of being shelled was basically zero, but Lu Yuan was still prepared, not for being shelled, but for the rats. Six months after the apocalypse, prolonged sunlight and radioactive meteorites caused some creatures to mutate, the most serious of which were rats. The mutated rats were even larger than a dog, and they would eat anything and everything. When they were extremely hungry, they would even eat people. Qingshui City had a rat infestation. Later, under the iron fist of the government, the mutated rats were completely wiped out in less than three months.
A week later, the walls of the entire house were completely finished, and some wiring and pipes were also completed. The workers were conducting a final check of the water and electricity supply in the room.
Looking at the wall painted with gray stone paint, Lu Yuan could feel a heavy aura emanating from it.
The daily necessities he had previously purchased were ready for delivery at any time. As soon as his renovation was completed, he could arrange delivery immediately with just one phone call.
It must be said that with Du Heng's management, the construction speed of the entire house was quite fast, and the interior decoration was completed in less than half a month.
To prevent any unpleasant odors in the house, Lu Yuan used furniture that had undergone formaldehyde removal treatment, so it could be used directly after moving in without worrying about formaldehyde affecting health.
"Boss Wang, all my home appliances and furniture can be delivered! Yes, they're located in the new industrial zone of Qingshui City. Just bring them over!"
"Brother Chen, um, this is Lu Yuan. um, yes, the house is renovated, we can arrange to load the stuff onto the truck!"
"Director Liu, is the grain ready?... Hmm, okay, send it over! Hmm, the granary is ready, don't worry!"
...
Lu Yuan was busy calling the seller to start delivery. After waiting for almost a month, it was finally done, and Lu Yuan finally felt much more at ease.
Another day has passed, and the warehouse is filled with all kinds of supplies. In order to find what he needs more easily, Lu Yuan even bought some shelves to store things.
At 10 p.m., Lu Yuan was still squatting in the warehouse taking inventory. Because there were so many items, the delivery list was a meter long.
"Ten tons of rice, ten tons of flour, one ton of soybean oil, ten tons of various grains, two hundred kilograms of salt, two hundred kilograms of chicken essence, one hundred cases each of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and balsamic vinegar..."
"500 jin of dried noodles, 100 jin of wide rice noodles, 100 boxes of various instant noodles, 500 bottles of liquor, 1,000 bottles of beer, and 200 kilograms of various dried goods and seasonings..."
"Two diesel engines, two gasoline engines, three chainsaws, and ten electric drills of various kinds..."
...
Lu Yuan usually goes to bed around 11 p.m., but that night he was busy checking all the goods all night long, and it was already 5:30 a.m. when he came out of the basement.
After a busy night, Lu Yuan took out his phone and ordered takeout because he really didn't want to move.
Except for the custom-made armored door, everything else in the house was ready. Lu Yuan started planting trees before the door arrived.
The saplings I bought at the fruit market are growing very well in the dimensional space, and some of them have even started bearing fruit.
Counting the saplings in front of him, there were more than thirty in total, with all kinds of fruit trees. In addition to the more common apple, pear and peach trees, Lu Yuan also bought some foreign fruit trees from Taobao, such as Thai mango trees, Thai durians and Thai mangosteens. If you ask why they are all from Thailand, it's simple: because the variety of fruit trees there is particularly complete.
New Year's Day.
Xiao Shan had to work overtime, so her plans to go out and have fun were ruined.
Time flies, and 2025 has already passed in the blink of an eye.
Besides the Lantern Festival gala, there are other important announcements to be made on New Year's Day.
For example, a certain food factory had 6,000 tons of compressed food removed from shelves and taken away for investigation because the food it produced was substandard. The results of the investigation are pending announcement by the relevant departments after the inspection is completed.
For example, an unknown strain of avian influenza was discovered at a pig farm. To prevent the spread of the flu, all the pigs were taken away and sealed for testing until the virus was confirmed.
For example, a certain instant noodle factory was reported for using substandard preservatives, and the relevant departments took away all the substandard instant noodles, totaling 100,000 boxes.
...
In short, all sorts of food items were seized, and the reason given was quite surprising.
Lin Chen turned off the TV and lay on the sofa, chewing on dried sweet potatoes and calculating the days ahead.
The Lantern Festival is on March 3rd, which is still two months away. Let's cherish it while we can!
Besides these, Lu Yuan would take out the crystals every now and then during this period, and sure enough, his hard work paid off, and he obtained two more upgrade crystals.
His dimensional space now has an area of forty square meters, but the crystals needed to upgrade it are nowhere to be seen.
The custom-made armored iron gate has finally arrived, and the dilapidated iron gate that was temporarily installed can finally be retired with honor.
A five-meter-long truck carrying a heavy iron gate arrived at Lu Yuan's new home.
"Is Mr. Lu here? The iron gate you ordered has arrived!"
Hearing someone shout, Lu Yuan quickly crawled out from the vegetable garden behind the house.
Aside from the house taking up more than 400 square meters of space, there is still more than 300 square meters available for growing various crops. The area behind the house is used to grow vegetables, and the area in front of the house is planted with various fruit trees.
Lu Yuan also specially built a fishpond of more than 50 square meters in the front yard and released some fish from the pond in the space. Normally, fish need a period of adaptation after the water is changed, but the fish in the pond in the space are different.
It felt like home no matter where they were, and the merriment continued even in different places, with fish constantly leaping out of the pond.
Lu Yuan signed the order, and the workers began installing the gate. Because the armored gate was too heavy, a truck-mounted crane had to be used for the lifting.
