Chapter 8 Chapter 8
Since it is not legal to possess firearms in the country, Ye Xun does not plan to transport them back by conventional means.
After asking their people to help deliver the goods to a safe place, they were allowed to leave on the pretext that someone would come to pick up the goods later.
When no one was around, Ye Xun put these things into the space. In the space, there was a shelf dedicated to weapons, and after this batch of weapons were put in, the shelf was basically full.
Ye Xun did not intend to use these guns unless it was absolutely necessary. It would be better to prepare some handy cold weapons.
He prefers the Tang sword and crossbow, which are highly lethal and easy to carry, and are enough to protect himself in the end times, unless he meets someone who also carries a gun.
Ye Xun took out his car from the space and planned to take a drive around to see if there were any surprises.
After driving around here for half an hour, he saw a cold weapon store. Ye Xun got out of the car, locked the door, and walked into the store.
The sharp weapons sold in the store are mainly knives, including Tang swords and daggers. Ye Xun asked for 10 Tang swords, 5 crossbows and 5 triangular spears, as well as 1,000 crossbow arrows.
When he swiped the card, he found that there was not enough balance in the card. The arms dealer suspected that he was here to cause trouble. With the black muzzle of a gun on his forehead, he made an international call to Ye's father under great pressure and received a transfer, which allowed him to leave safely.
Sitting in the car and holding the familiar steering wheel with both hands, Ye Xun's heart rate, which had soared to 200, slowly dropped. It was too thrilling, but fortunately the boss was still rational and did not pull the trigger directly.
The trip in Myanmar is over, and Ye Xun plans to drive back to Xia Country. It is very close to the border and it only takes a few days to drive to Y Province. He can see what else he can stock up on the way.
In this way, Ye Xun drove while looking for supplies. During this time, he dug up a lot of trees and shrubs and transplanted them into the space, as the grass alone would not look good.
If you come across a stream with fish in it, take a photo and search what kind of fish it is. If they are edible, invite the whole family into your space. If you are satisfied, don't leave.
If you see a rabbit on the roadside, you will run two miles to catch it. Don’t waste these free things.
Sometimes, he would let Bal out to play. Bal was almost five months old now, and he had gained weight in just a few days. I don't know if the water in the space was special, but Ye Xun sometimes felt that Bal was too smart to be a dog, and his little eyes were full of wisdom.
The few rabbits in the space were all caught by Bal, except for the fact that a few were about to die in the beginning due to his lack of skill. In order to avoid waste, Ye Xun simply bled, skinned and grilled them all, and gave them to Bal without adding any seasoning. The ones he couldn't finish were put in the space.
Bal, who was addicted to rabbit meat, thought of the poultry in the space and the eggs he ate every day, so he taught himself sustainable development. Whenever he saw a rabbit, he would catch it alive and let Ye Xun raise it.
Ye Xun thought that he had land with grass, rabbit meat was delicious, and rabbit fur could keep him warm, so it would be no problem to raise a few little creatures.
Sometimes he would meet nomads, and Ye Xun would use his remaining money to buy two ewes, a ram, and two cows and a bull from them, and raise them directly in the space.
There is no need to worry about how to clean up the livestock excrement. The space has a strong self-cleaning ability. The excrement will be immediately absorbed by the soil and serve as nutrients for plant growth. The potato and fruit seedlings in the fields are growing very well.
At this time, Ye Xun was already driving in the territory of Xia State. He refueled several times along the way. Every time he passed a gas station, he would fill up a few oil barrels and put them into the space.
He found the oil drums in an abandoned chemical plant. The entire warehouse was filled with such empty oil drums, and Ye Xun accepted them all without hesitation.
All the money for gas was earned from my parents, so I don't feel bad at all about spending it.
After entering Xia Country, Ye Xun followed the navigation and settled in the nearest city first.
Here, he plans to purchase some home electronic equipment, including air purifiers, air conditioners that can operate in extreme weather, refrigerators, freezers, well-drilling equipment, sewing machines, ice machines, and shelling machines, 10 of each.
Finally, I asked the coal boss for 2 tons of coal to use for heating and cooking in the extremely cold weather.
The supplies were almost ready, except for the means of transportation. The plan was to have an RV, five off-road vehicles and three speedboats. If no one in the family had a pilot's license, Ye Xun would also like to buy a helicopter.
Ye Xun already has his favorite RV and SUV in mind. The RV is the big boy of BARBUS, with a large enough compartment and sufficient comfort. He plans to choose a military brand for the SUV, which is reliable. However, these cars need to be modified, otherwise they will not be able to defend against people in the end times.
When Ye Xun drove back to Chen Village, the foundation of the house had been dug and the house had taken shape. As an employer, he paid more money, so the other party would naturally do things faster.
On the night of the completion of the construction, Ye Xun took out the building materials that had been prepared long ago from the space. When the workers came to work the next day, he said that they had brought them overnight, and they did not suspect anything.
The house was a duplex villa with three floors and a basement. There were three bedrooms, one for the couple, one for Ye Xun and one for Wang Yu.
The bedrooms are on the third and second floors. The roof of the third floor is designed with emphasis on heat insulation to prevent excessive temperatures from direct sunlight, and each wall is also designed with thermal insulation.
There is a five-meter-high and one-meter-thick wall six meters around the villa, which cannot be knocked down even if a car hits it.
A four-meter-long and four-meter-wide glass greenhouse was built in the front and back yards, which are used to grow vegetables and raise poultry respectively. This can just explain the sources of vegetables in the home, and can also prevent insects and frost.
The glass used for decoration is all hollow and thick tempered glass purchased previously. The quality is impeccable and it remains intact even when hit by hail.
The gate of the yard needs to be customized with an extra-thick steel door, and it is best to have electricity to ensure higher safety.
Ye Xun stayed in Chen Village for a long time, until mid-March. During this time, he had been looking for these cars. Off-road vehicles and speedboats were easy to find, and the prices had been negotiated and deposits had been paid. However, he could not find anyone to sell RVs. There were too few buyers in China. There were stocks abroad, but it was not realistic to ship them here. There was not enough time. It would take at least two months to transport and modify them.
There is only one month left until the end of the world.
On March 16th, a second-generation rich man in City S finally found a car. He and his friend started their own business but suffered heavy losses. They were in urgent need of funds. They had no choice but to find an agent to sell the Brabus Big Boy, which they had owned for less than half a year, online.
The price is quite reasonable, within Ye Xun's expectations. At 9 million, the seller has already lowered the price a lot.
Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Ye Xun immediately contacted the agent and agreed to pick up the car on March 20th.
Why not go immediately? Because you need to raise money.
Ye's father was used to receiving calls from Ye Xun, since his son always asked him to transfer money every time he called.
In order to have more peace and quiet in the days ahead, I typed one more digit this time.
After receiving the bank transfer information, Ye Xun immediately bought the fastest flight to City S and set off.
On the day they got the car, Ye Xun and the rich second generation went to the vehicle management office together to modify the owner's information. When they came out of the vehicle management office, the rich second generation grabbed Ye Xun's hand and was shaking with excitement.
"Thank you, brother. I was about to despair. If it weren't for you, my legs would have been broken by my parents!" He said this with tears in his eyes.
No wonder he sold the car at such a low price, it turned out to be another second-generation rich man who was trying to start a business. But it is good to have a dream, otherwise he would not have been able to buy this car so quickly at this price.
Ye Xun comforted him, "Where there is a will, there is a way. With the experience gained this time, I will definitely be able to succeed next time!"
The second-generation rich man said bitterly that it would be better for him to stay at home and live off his parents.
Seeing how pitiful the other person was, Ye Xun kindly reminded him, "My friend who works at the Meteorological Bureau told me that there will be a heavy rainfall across the country in April, and it will last for a long time. You'd better prepare more food at home."
The rich second generation nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you brother for the reminder."
I have said everything that needs to be said, but I don’t know whether the other party will do it.
Next, it is more important to modify the car.
Ye Xun wanted to modify the RV inside and out. He contacted the technicians and told them his idea. "Add another layer of steel plate to the body, and add a layer of insulation material between the steel plate and the original car. Install more solar panels on the roof, preferably covering it completely. The wheels should be of the best quality, and each window should be equipped with explosion-proof nets. The wires of the explosion-proof nets should be the thickest and strongest. Also, install a collision-resistant anti-collision bar on the front of the car. Finally, apply a few more layers of anti-corrosion material to the car. Anyway, do whatever is safe."
Everyone who heard this was speechless. It was the first time they saw someone converting such a nice RV into a bunker.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dude, what do you want to do with this car? It's almost like a tank."
Ye Xun had a look of ignorance on his face, and said disdainfully: "What can a motorhome do? Of course, I'm going to drive to the western plateau. I value my life, and I dare not go on the road without making changes to the safety point."
He looks like a rich second-generation who wants to have fun but is afraid of death.
The employee in charge of the modification understood this: a rich man who was afraid of death.
"No problem, boss. What do you plan to do with the interior of the car?"
Ye Xun thought for a moment and quickly came up with a plan, "Tear down the original bed and wardrobe and make two bunk beds. Also take down the entertainment equipment and turn it into a storage cabinet. Install a monitor next to the sofa and dining table, the kind that can plug in a USB flash drive when there is no network. Replace all the desktops and tables with a style that can be used to place things on top and store things underneath."
Clothes can be folded and put into storage cabinets, which saves space and is convenient for carrying.
"How long will it take before I can pick up the car?" Ye Xun asked.
The modification engineer estimated in his mind and gave an approximate time, "About 20 days later. It's relatively simple to modify your car, but the area to be modified is too large. Otherwise, it can be done in 10 days."
20 days? It was almost April 10th, the end of the world hadn’t started yet, Ye Xun could accept that.
After following the staff to pay the fees, we went to other modification shops.
Modifying six cars together would be too conspicuous, so it is better to separate them into several parts.
The last two SUVs were at a car modification shop in City S, and Ye Xun drove the other three back to City H.
There is no vacancy while waiting for the modification to be completed. The integrated houses have not been settled yet, and the quality of life in the space has not been guaranteed.
Considering the time factor, the integrated house still needs to be ready-made, and it will take some time to complete the soft furnishing.
Ye Xun directly contacted a salesperson in this city on the Internet. His competitor just happened to have a batch of prefabricated houses on hand, which had not been sold for more than half a year. He was now in a hurry to get rid of them. When he heard that someone wanted to buy five units, he was afraid that he would not be able to sell them, so he sold them himself.
In the end, these five prefabricated houses were sold at a 10% discount on the original price, but Ye Xun had to pay the shipping fee himself.
It took another five days for the five modular houses to arrive, and there was still a week before I could get the car.
During this week, Ye Xun went to the old house in the suburbs. All the medicines that Ye's father had asked someone to buy through connections had arrived, including some vaccines and home medical equipment.
Ye Xun deliberately chose to pick up the goods at night, as it would have been conspicuous if he had gone during the day. This batch of medicines mainly consisted of antibiotics, antipyretics, and antiviral drugs, which had many uses. There were also some health products, especially cardiovascular products, to prevent geriatric diseases.
The vaccines include almost all infectious diseases. Plagues are prone to occur after floods, and even Ye Xun himself cannot guarantee that he will not be infected, so in addition to vaccines, a lot of viral antibodies are also prepared.
After packing up, go home.
The house that Ye Xun bought has been renovated. He will go there today to put the furniture in place and move in.
After arriving home, I placed the five solar generators on the balcony and stored the electricity in the solar panels in the space in advance.
Three solar generators are also placed in the space planting area to supply power to three integrated houses respectively, which can meet the daily electricity needs of life. The temperature in the space is suitable and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner. The remaining solar energy and integrated houses are placed in the storage area and taken out when needed.
Ye Xun spent a day arranging the furniture and soft furnishings. He then took out a foam box from the space, poured in the soil produced from the space, and then took out vegetable seeds and some ingredient seeds and planted them. He also planted some potatoes and tomatoes and arranged them neatly in the living room.
The renovated living room is very simple, with a TV hanging on the wall and a row of cabinets along the wall below the TV, filled with vacuum-packed food. There is a black glass coffee table in the middle of the living room, and under the coffee table is a storage cabinet filled with instant drinks and nut snacks.
The sofa is placed against the wall near the door. There is a fire box between the sofa and the coffee table, which can be used to warm feet when it is cold. I bought an extended version, which can provide a corner for four people to warm up.
The refrigerator and freezer in the kitchen are filled with these seafood and meats, ensuring sufficient protein intake in the future.
The buildings in the community where Ye Xun lives are all 16 stories high, and he bought a house on the 15th floor. He did not buy the top floor because he thought it would be too sunny in the summer.
Now I think back to the decision I made. When the temperature outside reached 60 degrees, the house on the top floor was like a big oven, with no shelter from the scorching sun.
But the 15th floor is also quite sunny, so the insulation panels on the ceiling have to be thicker than those on other walls, as well as the walls facing the sun. Even the glass is the thickest.
When there were still three days before he got the car, Ye Xun began to get involved in agriculture and Chinese medicine. By the third year of the apocalypse, there were no Western medicines left, and some were spoiled. Not to mention curing diseases, it would be good if they didn't poison people. It was fine to give the medicines in the space to family members, but if they were traded with others, they would easily become the target of public criticism.
At that time, traditional Chinese medicine becomes very important.
Ye Xun placed orders directly online for all the Chinese medicinal seeds he could buy, and also bought several tons of fertilizers and pesticides to ensure that fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs could thrive.
After dinner, Bal was released from the space and taken to an open area outside for training, with the training focusing on how to kill with one blow.
Baal is smart and a quick learner, and has already mastered the weakness of the biological unity, the neck.
At this time, Bal was almost six months old and weighed nearly 90 kilograms. Every time he pounced on Ye Xun to act coquettishly, even if he was exercising every day, he would be knocked to the ground.
But he doesn't reject Bal's behavior, as it is the dog's way of expressing intimacy. He just teaches Bal to control his strength next time.
On the nineteenth day, Ye Xun finally received a call from the car modification company, asking him to pick up the car.
On the same day, a long-distance call came in. It was Wang Yu. Her exchange student time was over and she had booked a flight for April 16th. She didn't want to return to China immediately because she wanted to travel locally.
"I've been away for a few months, either attending classes at school or looking up information in the library. I haven't had any fun. It would be a shame to go back like this." Wang Yu was casually curling the ends of her hair with her index finger on the other end of the phone.
