Chapter 7: Rented A House

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Su planned to go out and pick the lock on the fire door after renting a house. Although it had been 12 years since the apocalypse, her heart was so cold that she would kill without blinking. However, she had not completely lost her humanity. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Ai’s existence, or maybe it was because she had met many people who had helped her in the process of searching for Xiao Ai. Therefore, Su Su’s conscience was still intact from the beginning to the end.

The end of the world was coming. It was an inevitable trend in the development of history. Su Su could not control it, nor did she have the ability to save all of them. However, she could provide an escape route for the survivors. She would not lose anything if she did so.

Her dormitory was on the fifth floor, room 502. Each room had four bunk beds. People slept on the beds, and there was a table under the bed for the students to put their computers and books. The 4 rooms in the same floor shared a balcony and a toilet. This kind of environment could be considered pretty good, and everyone was lively before the apocalypse. Everyone was like sisters to each other. They grew up and cried together in such an environment, enjoying their youth before they turned to adult.

However, when the apocalypse came… It was hard to say. Anyway, everyone was selfish. Su Su was no exception. This was human nature. There was no need to complain or blame anyone. Everyone just had to do their best to survive. What they were most afraid of was the scene of sisters betraying each other and pushing people behind their backs. Su Su had experienced it before, so she had a better understanding of human nature. There were good people, but they did not live long. She had seen many bad people, but these so-called “bad people” were the one who saved Su Su’s life at the most critical moment.

Her dormitory door was open, but there was no one in there. Su Su walked in and looked around. It was clean, and there was a faint fragrance. She walked to her desk as she touched the desk and chair that she had not seen for a long time. Then, she turned on her computer and browsed the internet, she searched for information about renting houses on the internet.

The safest place in Xiang City was actually not the city. Although there were a lot of resources in the city, but at the same time, the population was relatively dense in the city. Therefore, after the apocalypse, the city and the school were both heavily affected areas. On the contrary, there were fewer people in the suburb. The supplies there were relatively scarce, so when the apocalypse came, they would have to come to the city if they wanted to find supplies. However, if one thought about that and stored some supplies in advance, that place would have been a paradise at the beginning of the apocalypse.

However, the suburb were not a safe place permanently because it was close to the outskirts of Xiang City. The survivors would run out from the city center and wait for the army to arrive. Then, they would organize and go into the city to clear out the zombies and search for supplies. Finally, when the zombies were completely cleared out and the survivor base was established, the suburb would be closer to the barbed wire fence. Hence, when they encountered a large-scale zombie attack, the suburb would be the first to be affected.

Su Su did not plan to stay in the suburb of Xiang City for the rest of her life anyway. She planned to occupy a place in the suburb first, so that she would not have to sleep on the floor with the survivors. When she was safe enough to give birth to Xiao Ai, she would move to another place. It would be a few years after the apocalypse at that time. A few years’ time would allow Su Su to relocate his parents and Xiao Ai, right?

Regarding the house, Su Su chose to rent one in the Apple Villa area. It was a newly developed villa, and it was said that it was for the rich to live in. The greenery area was very large, and the distance between the villas were also quite far. There was a basement under each villa, which could be used to store supplies. Most importantly, those villas were furnished. Some owners would choose to rent them out even if they did not want to live in them. However, most owners did not want to live in them, and they had a lot of money, so they left the villa empty!

Thanks to the Information Age, Su Su quickly paid the deposit online. She would be able to get the key from the agent after paying the rest of the money later. She did not rent it for a long time. She only rented for 2 months, and she also wasted a lot of effort. She lied to the agent and told the agent that her parents were coming over for a vacation as they would only stay for 2 months. The agent wanted to do business with her, so the agent did not suspect anything and agreed.

The deposit was the money from Ye Yu’s card. The rent was RMB 5,000 a month, and with the balance and deposit, it was RMB 15,000. Ye Yu only had RMB 45,000 in his card, leaving only RMB 30,000 left. Hence, Su Su decided to use all this money to buy rice!

She had thought about it. She was an ice ability user after the water-type mutation. Before the mutation, she would first awaken her water power. Her family would need to drink water, wash clothes, and cook. Therefore, water was not a problem. After the apocalypse, plants would mutate, it was because they had absorbed the polluted water. With the clean water that she had released, she could grow some vegetables and eat them!

The rented villa had a large green space in front and behind of it. It was about a hundred square meters. Su Su only needed to build a shed to prevent the dirty rainwater from seeping in. Then, she would build a simple water supply system. However, no matter how hard she tried, the plants would still mutate. As long as the degree of mutation was not as extreme as the outside world, it would be fine as long as humans could eat it.

She did not buy meat yet. She would only buy how much they needed which she could save the meat for a few months. Firstly, it was not easy to store meat. If it was kept for too long, it would easily go bad. Secondly, it was because when the apocalypse arrived, Su Su would want to eat the meat of mutated beasts. The energy contained in ordinary meat was not as much as the energy in a mutated beast’s meat.

The energy problem was also easy to solve too. Natural gas would not be cut off at the beginning of the apocalypse. She would buy a few miniature hydroelectric generators first. When her father came over and got used to the sudden changes of the apocalypse, Su Su would ask her father to build a small-scale power generation system. her father loved to fiddle with these things. It was just a power generation system, so it was not difficult for him.

With that, they could use it to boil water, cook rice, and even get some light. They would not need much electricity. A small-scale power generation system could completely supply it. Su Su would think of ways to find some money to buy some canned liquefied gas and store it in the basement. When the apocalypse came, she would definitely not need to worry about energy at the beginning.

Su Su did not have a lot of money in her card. Her parents only gave her a RMB 1,000 per month. However, she and Xie Qingyan had been together since high school. Xie Qingyan’s family was richer than Su Su’s. Usually, Su Su would eat Xie Qingyan’s food and used his stuff. It was true to say that she was a parasite attached to Xie Qingyan.

Therefore, Su Su had saved some money. It was about RMB 10,000. With the money, she could go to the market to buy some seeds and plastic films for the shed. She would build a simple shed, and that amount of money was enough.

Su Su decided to work on it. Therefore, she got up, turned off the computer. Then, she started packing up her clothes, mobile phone, and bank card. However, she heard footsteps coming from outside the dormitory. Later, the door of the dormitory was opened.

“Su Su, you still dare to come back here?!” Before she entered the door, Bai Luoluo’s sharp and harsh voice rang out. “What’s wrong with you? You even injured Ah Yan and hospitalized him! How shameless. You went to sleep with another man for a night and even blamed Ah Yan for your mistake!”

Her voice was really loud and very deliberate. At this moment, the girls had just finished their classes and were returning to the dormitory to put their books away. Bai Luoluo was shouting so loudly. It was obvious that she wanted to let everyone know what that b*tch Su Su had done last night!

Indeed, Su Su, who looked pure and lovely like a little rabbit, did not only fell in love with Xie Qingyan like how Su Su said she would love him only. Instead, she was a promiscuous woman. Su Su had not returned to the dormitory last night, she had gone to have sex with another man!
