“Your idea is good. Let’s do it your way. Since you’re my brother’s friend, I’ll give you a heads-up: there’s going to be some extreme weather soon, so you’d better stock up on supplies.”
Not just food and drinks, but everything else should be stocked up on. I'm not just making this up, this is inside information.
Er Gouzi looked at Jian Ning with earnest eyes, nodded, and said thank you, feeling inexplicably flustered inside.
Judging from Jian Ning's expression, she didn't seem to be lying, and besides, she herself had gone to such lengths to turn the house into something like a fortress.
If it's not a genuine mental illness, then the news is accurate. It seems I need to make more preparations, just in case.
After finishing this job, I'll quickly buy supplies and head back to my dad's house in the countryside. There are mountains and water there; it'll be like a vacation. In case of any natural disaster or man-made calamity, the single-story house feels safer.
Jian Ning had no idea what he was thinking. If she did, she would definitely tell him not to stay in the bungalow, because when the flood comes, the bungalow will be the first to be damaged. A vast expanse of water, and nothing will be saved.
For the next month or so, Jian Ning spent her time stockpiling and receiving goods.
She didn't move her family from the rented house until she had spent all of her nearly 10 billion yuan and only had a little over 90 million yuan left, with more than half a month left before the extremely hot weather arrived.
The Jinmao Mansion was already cleaned up. Although Er Gouzi's nickname is unpleasant, he did a very good job and didn't cut corners at all.
What pleased Jian Ning the most was the gate to the staircase; it was absolutely perfect. Not only was it electrified, but it also had sharp nails on the outside and a thickened, reinforced fence.
Without the key, getting in would be difficult, even with a chainsaw, and it probably wouldn't be possible to open it anytime soon.
So when Jian Ning paid the bill, she gave him an extra 5,000 yuan as a reward. She hoped he could use the money to buy some useful food to store.
After moving in, I took out some of the supplies from the jade pendant space and put them in the attic. Otherwise, if Jian Anping and Li Mengyao come over in the future, I'll have a place to put the things I take out.
In her bedroom, she found it filled with the plush toys she had won last time; these little things made her feel good just looking at them.
I wonder if her Huang Fugui is still in the immortal abode. If he could come with her, that would be wonderful.
I sat on the sofa and turned on the 108-inch LCD TV. The announcer was saying in a sweet voice, "According to the weather forecast, the weather will gradually warm up over the next month."
In some areas, the temperature has reached 41 degrees Celsius, which is the highest temperature recorded by the observatory for the same period in June since 1996.
The current heat wave and the influence of the warm air mass are quite strong, and temperatures will continue to rise for some time to come.
High temperatures persist and the heat is unbearable; please take precautions against heatstroke.
It seems the extreme heat has arrived a bit early. Luckily, I've prepared quite a bit; now I just need to focus on improving my skills.
The apocalypse is coming. The dangers are not only the harsh weather, but also the large number of viruses brought by torrential rains, making human survival extremely difficult.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Jian Ning went over and saw Li Mengyao standing outside the door with a big smile on her face, carrying several bags in her hands.
"Sister Mengyao, come in quickly."
"Ningning, you've installed so many doors, it's such a hassle to open and close them. I don't know what your brother was thinking, but every door has a different password. It takes me more than ten minutes to unlock each door when I get home."
Look, I went shopping today and bought you a few dresses. They're all the latest styles this year; I'm sure you'll like them.
"Thank you, Sister Mengyao. Where's my brother?" Jian Ning asked with a smile as she took the paper bag from Li Mengyao.
"He went to pick up the goods. The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these past few days, and your brother is like a cat on a hot tin roof, he can't sit still for a moment. He bought two more freezers, and they're both filled with ice."
They said extreme weather was coming, and even had someone buy several sets of thermal underwear, claiming it was some kind of high-tech stuff. I don't know if it'll even work. It'll be delivered in a few days; I'll give you one then.
"My brother is quite thoughtful." After hearing Li Mengyao's words, Jian Ning remembered that she had dozens of large freezers in her space, filled with all kinds of ice cream and popsicles that she could eat for a lifetime without finishing them.
"I fell in love with this off-white dress at first sight, Ningning, do you know that someone has moved in next door?"
Yesterday I saw an elderly woman and a little girl of about seven or eight years old come out. They were dressed quite simply and didn't seem wealthy. I wonder how they could afford to rent a place here.
Li Mengyao had only met her new neighbors yesterday. Both were quite shy; when they met in the elevator, they simply smiled and nodded in greeting. They looked like they had just moved from the countryside.
"Let's just live our own lives. There's no need to contact people we don't know."
Hearing Li Mengyao's words, Jian Ning frowned almost imperceptibly. The elderly and children, this is a bit difficult to handle. With the apocalypse coming, they probably won't last long!
But she wasn't a saint either; she was already struggling to stay alive, and didn't have the energy to take care of others.
“Your brother texted me saying he booked a hot pot restaurant downstairs. Let’s go, let’s go together.” Li Mengyao pulled Jian Ning and headed out.
"Why eat hot pot on such a hot day? Isn't it better to stay home and enjoy the air conditioning?" Jian Ning still wanted to cultivate and really didn't want to go out.
"Let's go, hot pot restaurants have air conditioning too."
Li Mengyao dragged Jian Ning down the elevator. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, a man walked towards them. He was over 1.88 meters tall and had a strong build.
He wore black trousers, a black shirt, black sunglasses, and a black baseball cap, revealing only his high nose bridge and slightly pursed thin lips.
He was holding his phone in one hand and making a call; even before he got close, he exuded a strong sense of pressure.
“This guy looks like a gangster. Compared to him, your brother looks much weaker! Isn’t he hot in the middle of summer?” Li Mengyao only dared to speak softly after the man entered the elevator.
"I guess it's not hot. I just checked, and there wasn't a single bead of sweat on her face. She probably has a built-in temperature regulation system. Even the icy hot air doesn't dare to get close." Just as Li Mengyao finished speaking, the elevator doors opened with a ding.
The man in black glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, put down his phone, and pressed the close button on the elevator door.
"Oh no, did he hear everything? That guy, he didn't press the floor button in the elevator, he was eavesdropping on our conversation!"
Li Mengyao pulled Jian Ning quite a distance before muttering something under her breath. She glanced back at the elevator, worried that the man might come out again.
"It's okay, we didn't say anything. Let's go, don't think about him anymore."
When the two passed each other just now, Jian Ning sensed a faint but palpable killing intent emanating from the man. She was certain that this person was no ordinary person.
