Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

"It's nothing, just checking out the environment around the stairwell," Jiang Yan said, and after glancing at the freight elevator indicator light, she followed him into the passenger elevator.

The house was quickly viewed, 120 square meters, four bedrooms and three living rooms, with a layout that runs from north to south, very square and proper.

For high-rise buildings with elevators, the shared area is at least 20%, plus the wall thickening and so on that she wanted to do, the actual usable space is probably only around eighty or ninety square meters.

The apartment was nicely decorated, with water, electricity, gas, and a fully equipped kitchen; apart from furniture, one could move in right away with just their bags.

There were three other households nearby.

Two households' doors were adorned with couplets and had simple shoe cabinets placed at the entrance, and dried pine and iris hung from the door eaves, indicating that there were occupants.

The unit next to the one Jiang Yan was looking at, she didn't know whether it was occupied, but the doorframe and surroundings were clean.

She had actually thought about simply buying the entire top floor, but the chances of finding a top-floor apartment for sale were quite slim.

Moreover, buying an entire floor, while it would make security easier to design, was too conspicuous.

It could easily make her a target for everyone's arrows.

"Sister Yan, what do you think of this place, if it doesn't suit you, we can look at another community. That community is also very good," Du Ziteng, seeing her standing at the entrance and staring blankly at the other units, couldn't help but say.

"No need, this will do," Jiang Yan said directly without hesitation.

If she hadn't met Zhang Qiqi, she definitely would have gone to see the other option.

But now, it would certainly be this place.

If she remembered correctly, after the natural disaster, the torrential rain would at least flood up to the 20th floor.

Zhang Qiqi lived on the 7th floor, so she would just wait and watch the drama unfold here.

Of course, seizing the opportunity to properly deal with her was naturally part of the revenge plan.

Du Ziteng was taken aback by her quick decision.

"By the way, Sister Yan, you still need to make some preparations before moving in, and since you've sold your villa, where will you live? If you don't mind, you can stay at my place first. My wife just returned from culinary school at New Oriental, and since you're knowledgeable about food, you could offer some suggestions on her dishes."

Jiang Yan declined his kind offer and said with a smile, "I appreciate the thought, but the Intercontinental Hotel is also another home of mine, don't worry."

Jiang Yan entrusted all the property transfer procedures to Du Ziteng and found a well-known decoration and security company, giving them specific instructions for the decoration and security installations.

Put simply, in addition to enhancing insulation and fire and water resistance, she also had a layer of thermal and sound insulation material added throughout the apartment.

The roof and walls were also reinforced with metal.

The door was made with two layers, using the thickest steel plates, almost bulletproof.

The windows were replaced with bulletproof and insulative glass, underfloor heating was installed, and she had the decoration company make a convenient circular opening in the exterior wall for potential emergencies.

Not only that, but for the two smaller bedrooms and the study windows, she had the decoration company seal them off with concrete and bricks.

Top-floor apartments inherently have some deficiencies; they are prone to leaks and are cold in winter and hot in summer, so it's not unusual for owners to make renovations.

However, hearing Jiang Yan's extensive renovation requests left the other party a bit dumbfounded.

Especially when they heard about sealing up windows and balconies, they thought she intended the place for storing urns or the like.

Even after seeing various peculiar requests, the company's manager was baffled when he heard she wanted to reinforce the walls and ceiling with metal, wondering if she was aiming for a tightly sealed all-metal "coffin".

But Jiang Yan was generous with the payment, so the company had no choice but to obey and allocate many workers to finish the job quickly.

After all, the timeline Jiang Yan provided was very short, only two weeks, and she demanded that all materials must be environmentally friendly.

As for the surveillance, she found another reputable security company owned by Anming.

Her requirement was that the installation be sturdy and discreet, while also able to connect to a backup power supply.

She had them install devices on the hallways of the 32nd floor, 31st floor, 20th floor, 7th floor, outside the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, on the roof, and at the entrance of the first-floor unit.

Her request was a challenging one.

Not technically challenging, but installing discreetly without alerting the property management and avoiding detection was the tricky part.

However, with the generous fee she offered, they naturally didn't want to miss such a big order.

As for dealing with the property management, as long as the manager was taken care of, things would be much easier.

How to handle it was not Jiang Yan's concern.

She was only interested in the outcome.

Of course, whether it was the decoration or the security company, Jiang Yan had them sign a confidentiality agreement.

Such documents are meant to deter honest people rather than scoundrels, simply providing a means of restraint.

Having arranged everything with the apartment, Jiang Yan resumed her frantic buying spree.

She prioritized meat, eggs, dairy products, and medicines.

Frozen meat didn't taste good, so Jiang Yan took extra effort to go directly to farms to make purchases.

However, many farms have dedicated suppliers, and as a sudden customer like her, they couldn't offer much quantity.

She wasn't in a hurry; if she couldn't buy enough domestically, she planned to visit large farms overseas in a few days.

Even so, she still bought five thousand kilograms each of beef and pork, and three thousand kilograms each of lamb and chicken.

For ducks, geese, pigeons, and the like, she bought a thousand kilograms each.

She had particular fondness for hotpot and additionally ordered a thousand kilograms each of fat lamb rolls, fat beef rolls, tripe, omasum, duck intestine, liver, etc.

She bought thirty thousand fresh chicken eggs, and randomly bought eight thousand fresh duck and goose eggs.

She also bought ten tons of fresh cow milk, and symbolically bought two tons each of sheep milk and camel milk.

For convenience, she had previously ordered ten thousand packs of individually packaged cow milk and yogurt online.

She bought five thousand kilograms each of butter and cheese.

After buying these, she had the farms, according to the different parts of cows, sheep, and pigs, immediately deliver the cut meat and organs to the cold storage warehouse she had temporarily rented.

Then, as soon as the suppliers left, she promptly stored all the meat in "Space".

After finishing with the meat, she went to the seafood wholesale market.

She purchased different kinds of fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, oysters, conches, and abalones, ranging from three thousand to five thousand kilograms each.

Similarly, she planned to bulk up on more seafood when traveling abroad.

By the time Jiang Yan took everything supplied to the warehouse, including grains, oils, meat, eggs, milk, and so on, into "Space," nearly a month had passed.

The delivery times for the various materials didn't always align, and sometimes she encountered situations where there was simply not enough space to store everything and had to schedule deliveries in staggered batches.

However, she had been keeping busy during this period.

She bought one hundred units each of charging piles, small domestic wind turbines, and hand-cranked generators.

She acquired ten sets of large energy storage batteries, and she bought three hundred pieces each of wireless charging packs and hand-cranked charging treasures.
