Chapter 179 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 9
The entrance is a heavy alloy automatic door that requires both fingerprint and iris verification to pass through, so the security is quite high. After entering the community, Shen Ci drove to his villa.
The villa is surrounded by a three-meter-high solid wall, which looks simple and unadorned, even somewhat like a bare shell. This was done intentionally to avoid attracting attention, making it look like a house that has not yet been renovated.
But when Shen Ci passed through another gate that required a password and fingerprint verification and entered the inner courtyard, the inside was completely different from the outside.
The courtyard was professionally designed, with the ground paved with non-slip and heat-insulating materials, and planting areas reserved in the corners. The main gate of the villa is very heavy, made of the same alloy material as a bank vault, and also requires multiple biometric identification to open.
Shen Ci led Da Bao into the villa. As soon as the door closed, the heat wave outside disappeared instantly, creating two separate worlds. The villa was cool, and no heat from outside got in.
The villa has three floors, and all the windows are fitted with highly light-blocking metal roller blinds, which are all lowered.
When Shen Ci turned on the switch and the roller blind closed completely, the entire villa was plunged into complete darkness. It was pitch black, and you couldn't see anything. You couldn't even see anyone standing in front of you. Shen Ci quickly took out a flashlight.
The interior of the villa is decorated in a very simple style, even somewhat empty, like an unfinished half-finished product. There is not much furniture in the house, which was specially instructed by Shen Ci. It looks like the house is not yet finished and there are no signs of life.
After briefly checking the situation upstairs and confirming that there were no problems, Shen Ci took Da Bao to the basement.
The entrance to the basement was very well hidden, located in a secret compartment behind a wardrobe in a guest room. It required Shen Ci's iris scan to open the heavy alloy door that was integrated into the wall.
Without certification, there wouldn't be any problems here.
Considering that Da Bao is young, naive, and easily deceived or coerced, Shen Ci has not yet granted Da Bao the access permission; only she can access it. Besides, she and Da Bao will not be separated; how can a seven-year-old child leave his mother?
Behind the door lies their true sanctuary, a luxurious post-apocalyptic fortress.
"Da Bao, this will be our home from now on."
Welcome home!
The first basement level is the living area. The living room is very spacious, furnished with a soft sofa and a large rug. On the opposite wall is a huge embedded screen connected to a rich audio-visual library.
The open kitchen is fully equipped, with everything from a large built-in refrigerator and oven to a dishwasher, and there's even a temperature-controlled wine cabinet next to it.
This floor also features a study filled with various materials and books that Shen Ci downloaded and printed, as well as an audio-visual room equipped with professional-grade sound systems. However, when music is played here, it is completely inaudible to the outside world.
The second basement level is a rest area and functional area.
The two master bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, are decorated in a cozy style. Shen Ci and Da Bao's rooms are next to each other. In Da Bao's children's room, there are not only toys and bedding suitable for his current age, but also cabinets against the wall that are categorized and stored with toys, models, and books for all ages from seven or eight to his teens.
There are also all the textbooks, supplementary books, workbooks and stationery that Shen Ci had prepared from elementary school to junior high school. There is also a well-equipped gym on this floor, as well as a medical room with advanced medical equipment. Medicines and the like are all stored here.
The third underground level is the core area, which includes a huge warehouse and power center.
The warehouse was divided into several areas, with shelves neatly arranged. Shen Ci gestured to Da Bao to release all the supplies in the space except for fresh food that needed to be kept fresh.
In an instant, the once empty warehouse was filled with mountains of supplies: mineral water tanks, piles of rice, flour and cooking oil, all kinds of canned food, and neatly hung clothes for all seasons—it had everything you could want, comparable to a large department store.
You could live there for eight or ten years without worrying about supplies.
The power center is responsible for operating the entire villa's energy system, which is mainly powered by dozens of high-power solar panels installed on the villa's roof and in a secluded spot on the cliff behind the mountain, which is more than enough to supply the villa's energy needs.
Equipped with a large energy storage battery pack and a high-power, silent diesel generator as backup, it can ensure a reliable and long-term energy supply.
Shen Ci immediately activated the central controller, and the entire villa's security system, air circulation and filtration system, temperature control system, etc., began to operate, again without any noise.
She helped Da Bao gradually familiarize himself with the house, the place where they would be living for many years. She taught him which areas were off-limits, which areas had safe drinking water, and that the villa had its own deep water purification system, which could be used before the zombies appeared.
There are also special waste sorting and degradation equipment, all of which need to be told to Da Bao. It can be said that the villa is another world of his own, independent of the outside world.
After the inspection was completed, Shen Ci paid the final payment for the villa renovation. The mother and son then spent another day sorting and properly arranging the supplies in the warehouse.
Time quickly passed to the fourteenth day, and the temperature soared. Unlike before, when it rose gradually, the temperature suddenly spiked to a new high!
The news reported that the temperature had reached 58°C, a temperature unsuitable for human survival. However, this was only the second-to-last day of the apocalypse, and the temperature had not yet reached its peak. Chaos was breaking out in the outside world, and hospitals were overflowing with patients suffering from the heat.
The entire city is experiencing power outages, roads are melting, air conditioners are not working, and many elderly and frail people are dying from heatstroke at home. Reports and warnings are constant.
Shen Ci pulled Da Bao to her side, pointed to the chaotic images on the screen, and earnestly explained the current state of the world to him.
"Dabao, this world is about to go into chaos because the weather will get hotter and hotter, and more and more abnormal."
From today onwards, we can only live in this house and absolutely cannot go out.
You must always remember your mother's words: the secret of the place inside your body that can hold things, and where our home is and what's inside—you must never tell anyone.
Otherwise, many bad people will try to kidnap you and take away our home, and we might never have a peaceful life again.
His mother's expression was serious, and Shen Dabao's little face tensed up as he nodded firmly! He would definitely listen to his mother! Actually, as long as he was with his mother, he wasn't afraid at all! He wanted to protect his mother!
