Rongcheng.
This is a desirable city, warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, due to the special period in the past, several backup shelters have been built.
The reason why Lu Qin chose this place was because after experiencing all kinds of hardships in her previous life, she wandered to Rongcheng and settled down in a shelter in Rongcheng. Although life was difficult, at least food and clothing were not a problem.
Lu Qin was sincerely grateful to the Rongcheng Base. If it weren't for this place, she probably wouldn't have survived for a few days. But Rongcheng provided her with some work. Although it was hard work, the food in exchange still fed her and allowed her to survive here for eight years.
But the hidden injuries in her early years and the years of hard work finally made it impossible for a weak woman to hold on. One severe winter, she finally couldn't hold on.
She thought she could reunite with her mother underground, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself back to the time before the end of the world.
…
Retracting his thoughts, Lu Qin looked at the things in front of him with great cherishment, and secretly made up his mind that he must live a good life with his mother in the apocalypse in this life.
Rongcheng became the place she had to go.
Because of its unique advantages, Rongcheng began to use various shelters at the beginning of the disaster. Until the eve of her return, the Rongcheng shelter had become a well-known base with good order, food reserves, a certain level of productivity, and accommodated tens of thousands of people.
She also thought about taking her mother back to the countryside. With their current savings, building a sturdy house would not be a problem.
But after careful consideration, Lu Qin decided to forget it.
First, if they, mother and daughter, lived alone in a big house and added a large amount of supplies, relatives and friends would know about it, and they would be in trouble, especially her uncle's family; second, based on her experience in her previous life, even if she returned to the countryside, it would be of no use. The temperature was too low, and for some unknown reason, vegetables could not be grown in the fields, so returning to the countryside would be of no use; third, there was no time, as building a new house had to start with laying the foundation, and heavy snow was coming soon, so breaking ground was a difficult task.
Therefore, a large base is definitely a good place for them to take refuge. At least there, because of the supervision of the upper level, there are certain restrictions.
Lu Qin thought of the terrible things she had seen in her previous life, and her body shuddered. She thought it would be better to lean against a big tree for shade.
It is best to buy a suite and settle down near the post-apocalyptic base. When the base is built in the future, you will be close to it.
This is Lu Qin’s plan.
After discussing with her mother, Lu Qin booked a flight to Rongcheng, intending to buy a house and settle down in Rongcheng before it started snowing.
She and her mother decided to split up. Lu Qin went to Rongcheng first to find a place to stay, while her mother listed the house and storefront on a real estate sales website in her hometown for sale at a low price.
Because the asking price was low enough, it was sold almost in half, and despite the current sluggish real estate market, the house was sold quickly.
After cashing out the money from selling the house, plus the family's various savings, funds, etc., Lu Qin calculated all the family assets and found that he still had 2 million in cash.
Lu Qin looked at the money in his bank card and decided to spend it quickly. The severe cold was about to set in, and he didn't have much time left. In less than half a year, the money would have lost its original purpose.
After spending two days in Rongcheng, Lu Qin discovered that the situation here was no better than in his hometown. Prices were inversely proportional to the temperature, with one rising rapidly and the other falling rapidly.
Many residents have begun to consciously purchase supplies, and some, while complaining about the high prices of vegetables, have already started planning to return to the countryside to farm.
Knowing that time was running out, Lu Qin rushed to Antu County under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng without stopping, planning to buy an apartment there as a place to settle down.
Within Antu County lies a mountain called Sheshan. It's not very high and isn't open to the public. However, a military unit is stationed there year-round, and there's an underground refuge at its foot. After the chaos of a previous life, it was this unit that ultimately took over the leadership of Rongcheng, bringing several surrounding large refuges under its jurisdiction. Eventually, these refuges were linked together to form the Rongcheng base, which was meticulously managed.
Lu Qin immediately made a decision and decided to buy a small detached villa in a villa area at the foot of the mountain.
This villa is really small. To be honest, it is a loft apartment, but it is a single-family house. The building area is only 48 square meters. The upper and lower floors together have a usable indoor area of only about 70 square meters.
But Lu Qin likes it very much.
As far as she knew, this villa area was the closest community to the core of the base. After the apocalypse, this community had almost become a "ring" of the Rongcheng base because of its high-quality construction and excellent geographical location.
One can imagine the sense of security that a ring provides.
Of course, a large villa halfway up the mountain would be even better. It wasn't that Lu Qin didn't want to buy one; it was said that those villas were often occupied by prominent figures in Rongcheng. However, Lu Qin was short of money and couldn't afford it with his current assets. Furthermore, the complex was a new development, so he couldn't rent the entire property.
So Lu Qin settled for the small villa at the foot of the mountain. It looked like most of these were high-end single villas for young people.
This duplex villa at the foot of Guangshan Mountain cost her 1.38 million yuan, and the property rights are for 40 years.
But Lu Qin didn't care at all. In the end times, who would care how many years of property rights you have?
It was a good thing, since Lu Qin only had mother and daughter. If they lived in a room too big, it would inevitably attract the attention of some people with bad intentions. Although this one was a little small, it was still pretty good.
Lu Qin readily paid the money and received the keys. Because the full amount was paid, he was given coupons for 50 kilograms of rice and 20 kilograms of grains when the house was handed over.
Lu Qin smiled. The sales department really keeps up with the times. These days, food prices are high, but houses are hard to sell. The gifts for handing over the house are really keeping up with the trend.
I don’t know what others think, but Lu Qin was very satisfied with this gift.
The villa was brand new, beautifully decorated, and fully furnished with all kinds of furniture and appliances. The building materials were also high-end, and Lu Qin no longer worried about the heavy snow that would collapse the house.
The house is divided into two floors. The lower floor has an open kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a larger living room with a large bay window. From here you can see the small garden of the villa.
The small garden was small, with some unknown species of plants planted in it. Lu Qin didn't plan to use it. The temperature was too low to use it.
Turning around from the kitchen, there is an underground wine cellar, only four or five square meters, but Lu Qin thinks it is very good because it is a wine cellar and has a good moisture-proof effect. It is the best place to store supplies.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, one large and one small. The larger one has a balcony, which is big enough for a small coffee table and a rocking chair. The safety factor is also good, with anti-theft nets.
Although she no longer had the courage to drink tea on the balcony in the cold wind, Lu Qin was still very satisfied.
All in all, this money is well worth spending.
