After seeing the people off, Gu Mingyue dismissed the warehouse manager and, under the pretext of transferring goods, used a truck to haul all the supplies away, thus freeing up her income space.
Then I went to a hardware store and bought welding tools and a new steel door.
The Milky Way is like a large computer input system.
Gu Mingyue unbuttoned his clothes and threw in some home improvement books, so that the knowledge would remain in his mind forever.
If you give him a few pages of A4 paper, he can even print them back exactly as they were.
There was no need to hire a decorator. Xinghe took welding tools, wore safety precautions, and disassembled and installed the door, doing a more meticulous job than a veteran worker who had been doing it for decades.
Gu Mingyue could only assist him. Sometimes she envied Xinghe's ability to remember things perfectly. If she could remember something after just one glance, she wondered how much smoother her life would be.
The two worked diligently, installing security bars on the windows of the 17th floor and turning on the electricity. The switch was located inside, making it virtually impossible for an ordinary person to break through the window and enter.
The terrace of 1701 was enclosed with tempered glass when the safe house was built, and the attic is covered with solar panels.
It was impossible to seal up 1702 completely in one day, so Gu Mingyue simply mortgaged the house to the bank and made a few million more, which she used to buy interior decoration materials.
In the days to come, let Xinghe be renovated and reinforced slowly.
Yesterday's live stream was effective.
As Gu Mingyue watered the vegetables on the terrace, she noticed that many cars were coming and going in the community, their trunks filled with various supplies.
There were also comments about the apocalypse circulating in WeChat groups, along with screenshots of yesterday's live stream.
Brothers and sisters, hurry up and stock up on supplies! This doesn't seem fake.
[This is clearly a publicity stunt by the merchant due to unsold inventory. Anyone who hoards it is a fool; it will just expire before you can finish eating it.]
[Voiceover: What's the meaning behind everyone's pictures? I have presbyopia, I can't see them clearly.]
My family stockpiled salt five years ago, and we still haven't finished it!
[@1702, please message me privately.]
[@1702, I've added you, please accept my request.]
【@1702, why hasn't it been approved yet? Do you want me to tell the property management?】
A long string of messages from people on the 16th floor adding her as a friend, but no one is paying back the money, nor is anyone mentioning in the group that she keeps animals in room 1702.
It's obvious they're trying to extort money from you and settle things privately.
Gu Mingyue's lips curled up slightly, her eyes revealing an undisguised ruthlessness.
I tapped "Approved".
She figured she could wait for people to come looking for her; after all, the meteor shower was only two days away, and she didn't mind reaping a bunch of kills first.
A knock came soon after.
Through the peephole, Gu Mingyue saw the old lady and her son leading a chubby little boy whose eyes were almost invisible standing outside the door.
Gu Mingyue opened the door and let them in.
The old lady's cloudy eyes swept over the living room piled high with animal feed, and her downturned lips almost burst into laughter.
That's quite a generous gesture; they clearly have spare cash.
The little boy barged in as if he were in his own home, wandering around rudely and shouting, "Chickens, I want to see chicks!"
The man next to the old lady was short and overweight. When he saw that the person who opened the door was a beautiful woman, his eyes were first filled with amazement.
He craned his neck to look inside and found that the burly men in black were not there.
Without any hesitation, he pulled the old lady inside.
With her two fat arms, she threw the things on the sofa onto the floor, then put her feet on the coffee table: "You're such a young girl, yet you've hoarded quite a lot of things."
The old lady nudged the man's arm, signaling him to quickly discuss the money.
"Ahem, brother, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but you're raising chickens in this house, and we downstairs can't stand the smell."
“Brother, I know you’re a generous person, you can easily give a million. My house is worth four million in total. If you give me another three million, I’ll move out with my family right away and I will never tell anyone that you’re raising chickens in the house.”
This family is just as greedy as they were in their previous life.
"Oh, how many people are in your family? Is it easy to move?" Gu Mingyue didn't answer immediately whether she would give it or not, but instead fiddled with her phone as if asking casually.
In her previous life, no one foretold the apocalypse. When the community organized residents to search for supplies, this family took advantage of Gu Mingyue, a woman, being out alone, and stole a lot of her supplies.
Later, they even joined forces with the superhumans in the building, trying to break down her door and rush in with malicious intent towards her.
Even if they were given a second chance at life, it would still be that family that came looking for death first.
It really is fate!
"Easy to move, easy to move." The old lady slapped her thigh, beaming from ear to ear. "There are only four of us: my son, my grandson, me, and my daughter-in-law."
She bought the house for three million, but her precious son said he'd add another million. Her son is really something else; these rich people are so stupid.
Her cloudy eyes swept over Gu Mingyue's delicate face and exquisite figure, her lips twitched down again, and her contempt deepened. With such beauty, she must not know how she made all that money!
She had only been here a short time and didn't know Gu Mingyue, so she made an even more sordid guess that she might have so much money because she was someone's mistress.
Seeing that her son's eyes seemed glued to the woman, she felt even more disdain.
Bah! Shameless slut, she started seducing her son the moment she opened the door.
"Grandma, Grandma, there are so many little bunnies here! I want a little bunny!" The little boy ran to the sofa and tugged at the old lady's hand, acting all cute.
"Don't even think about it. If you dare touch anything here, I'll kill you." Gu Mingyue raised her sharp eyes and swept them over the three of them, speaking coldly.
"Who are you trying to scare!" The man roared, slamming his fat arm heavily on the coffee table.
The little boy hadn't seen many adults talking to him like that, so he pouted and started crying in grievance.
"You bad woman, if you don't give it to me, then nobody else can have it." With that, she ran towards the room where the rabbits were kept, raised her leg and kicked the cage, kicking any boxes that were nearby without even looking at them.
The two adults didn't stop him and let him do whatever he wanted.
Gu Mingyue wasn't going to tolerate him. She grabbed him by the collar, dragged him out the door, and kicked him to his family's feet.
The boy immediately curled up on the ground in pain, his face turning pale, followed by a series of uncontrollable sobs.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit my grandson! I'll fight you to the death!" The old lady was heartbroken to see her grandson being kicked, and with a ferocious expression, she lunged at Gu Mingyue with all her might.
Gu Mingyue took a half step to the side without changing her expression, then stretched out her right foot to block.
The old lady tripped and stumbled, falling against the wall. Because she had a round face, her nose was fine, but all her remaining yellow teeth fell out, and her mouth was full of blood.
Seeing his mother and child beaten like this, the man went berserk.
He charged forward, fist in hand, but Gu Mingyue caught it firmly. Then she retaliated by punching him in the right cheek, leaving his eye socket bruised and purple.
"Oh my god, help! Someone's trying to kill me!" The old woman started acting like a scoundrel when she saw her family members being beaten down and sitting on the ground.
