End of the World Cycle

Early the next morning, Zhang Mingfang carried the remaining fruits to the entrance of the chicken farm alone.

These three big wolfhounds were more useful than doorbells. They started barking non-stop when they saw strangers, and soon the chicken farm owner came out.

"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something I want to discuss with you. Is that ok?"

"whats the matter?"

"Can we go in and talk about that? It's not a small matter."

"Let me come out. My dog ​​recognizes people and I'm too lazy to tie it up."

"Row."

Zhang Mingfang was standing outside, and the chicken farm owner opened the door and walked up to her.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"You saw it yesterday. My little son is paralyzed and mentally ill. The doctor always told me to take him to the mountains to recuperate. Over the years, he has become fond of this place. I stayed there for a night yesterday and in the morning I wanted to take him back but he refused. He cried and made a fuss all morning. So..."

"So what?"

"Can you sell that house to me? I want that house. I can bring my two children here to rest during the winter and summer vacations. It will definitely not disturb your chicken farming."

"Sell it to you? Of course I can, but we agreed in advance that this is a one-time deal. These houses don't have property certificates, so the ownership can't be transferred. You can only trade with me. I can only give you a receipt and a handwritten certificate. Think it over. If you regret buying it, I won't give you a refund."

"Of course, of course, but this price..."

"Don't worry, I'm not a liar, and you're not a fool. This place is worthless. In the past two years, except for one where my family and I live, the others are all empty. The furniture and decoration inside are pretty good. If they were placed anywhere else outside, they would definitely cost hundreds of thousands. Just give me 150,000."

"Brother, you see, this house has been in disrepair for a long time. I will definitely need to repair it after I buy it, which will also cost a lot of money. After all, you said that it is usually empty. Can you sell it to me at a lower price?"

"Then tell me, how much do you want to pay?"

"One hundred thousand, is that okay?"

"Your 100,000 yuan can't even build a frame at that time. It's too little."

"How about you give me some more and I'll give you some more, 120,000 is fine?"

"130,000, I'll give it to you if you want to buy this house."

Zhang Mingfang looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

"Then I'll... think about it."

Seeing Zhang Mingfang was about to leave, the man was stunned for a moment, but finally called Zhang Mingfang.

"One hundred and twenty thousand. All right, I'll sell it to you for one hundred and twenty thousand."

"Thank you. Thank you, brother."

"Okay, we'll be neighbors in the future, and I want to be friends with you. My name is Liu Chuanyou, you can just call me Brother Liu. Find a time to pay the money later, and I'll give you a receipt and a certificate."

"Let's do it today. I'll transfer the money to you directly. Just give me your card number."

"So anxious?"

"I just want to buy it quickly so I can decorate it and make the children more comfortable."

"That's right. Then come in, we'll write the certificate, and I'll tell you about the surrounding area. I'll go and tie up the dog."

"Okay, thank you Brother Liu."

I bought the house before noon. I chatted with Brother Liu for a long time and we became familiar with each other. He is a warm-hearted person and helped me contact the construction team. Although we communicated by phone, it was convenient to communicate now. I basically arranged everything in one afternoon. Because it was in a township and it was the hot summer season, the construction team had no work to do.

Zhang Mingfang said that she wanted to finish it earlier, so she made an appointment for the construction team to come early the next morning.

That night, they took advantage of the moonlight to move all the supplies in the RV into the attic bit by bit, leaving only a freezer waiting for the construction team to come and help move it into the kitchen the next day.

Because this is in the mountains, the water pressure of the tap water is always insufficient, and there are occasional water outages. This gave them a reason to build a reservoir.

They didn't go into detail on the phone until the construction team arrived, and they thought it was outrageous. They had never seen anyone build a reservoir that was three meters deep, ten meters long, and four meters wide.

Xie Qin, on the other hand, reacted quickly.

"We also need to build a small swimming pool next to the reservoir for my brother's rehabilitation. I'm afraid that the water pressure won't be high enough and we won't be able to change the water in the pool. The reservoir needs to be this big."

"Oh. I see. But if you build this reservoir in the yard and add a small swimming pool, there will be no space in the yard. There will be no place to park the car."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to build a carport for me outside the yard after the wall is repaired."

"That's fine. It's just the cost." Although it was Xie Qin who was talking to the construction team, when it came to money, his eyes were still on Zhang Mingfang.

"Just give me a quote based on the materials. And for this fence, I want it to be stronger. Drive the stakes deeper and make the outer edge at least three meters high."

"so tall?"

"We are in this deep forest, and we are all women and children, so we should be safer."

"I understand. What do you want to use this gate for?"

"Do you have alloy steel door?"

“Yes, there is, but the price is not cheap.”

"We don't park cars in this yard, so we just need a gate that's big enough for a person to pass through."

"That's fine, how about a one-meter-wide and two-meter-high one? Even a small door like this would cost five or six thousand."

"Okay. Then just do the math and give me a quote."

The foreman sat in the living room of the house with a computer, paper and pen, and wrote and calculated for a while before he spoke.

"If you want the fence to be strong, I will pour cement directly for you, and drive the piles to a depth of 230 meters and a height of 9.2 meters. It will cost you 50 yuan per square meter, a total of 4.5 yuan. The price of the reservoir is the same, but 1.5 yuan per square meter will be added for the price of the anti-seepage and anti-evaporation special membrane. The total is 20 yuan. The swimming pool is cheaper for you, 4 yuan. Our construction period is 20 days, and five people will work on it, yuan per day, which is yuan. Including equipment rental, the total will be yuan."

“It’s a bit expensive just to build a reservoir and a fence.”

"Sister Zhang, it's what you want. I haven't included the price of the door in your calculations. I quote with conscience. If it's one cent less than 20, the project won't be done."

"Okay. Safety first. But can the construction be completed faster? I'm anxious. My child is not in good spirits and a long construction period is not good for his cultivation."

"Well, I don't have many people under me, and the weather is hot. I can find you one more person at most. Six people can work together. If you work overtime, you can add another 10,000 yuan. I can finish it for you in 15 days. Is that okay?"

"Ten days. I'll give you an extra twenty thousand for the work. Can you finish it in ten days?"

"It's not impossible, but I'm afraid we will have to work at night. Will it affect your rest?"

"It's okay. I'm just going to take the kids out for a drive. It won't affect anything. Just fix it for us on time."

There are still fifteen days before the rainy season. If we can finish it in ten days, we can have another five days to harden it through exposure to the sun. There shouldn't be any problems due to the six-month rainy season.

The construction team started work that afternoon. After paying a deposit of 100,000 yuan, Zhang Mingfang drove the empty RV with her two children.

Looking at the list my daughter made, there are still many things they need to buy. The temperature in the dry season can reach 60 degrees at the highest, and the electricity will be cut off in the second month of the rainy season. They can survive without electricity in the rainy season, but not in the dry season and cold waves. They also need a large number of solar panels, diesel generators, a large amount of diesel, cold-proof clothing and bedding, various electronic equipment, various seeds, emergency medicines, too many things.

Zhang Mingfang took her child to the nearest county town, but it was midsummer and there was no place selling winter clothes. Even the place selling bedding had few thick quilts. Zhang Mingfang had no choice but to find a decent hotel and let her daughter shop online.

After settling her son and daughter, Zhang Mingfang drove to the county town alone where she could buy other things. In the hotel, Xie Qin half-lying on the bed kept shopping for things she needed to survive the severe cold. The lowest temperature in the extremely cold weather could reach minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, and even lower in the north. After searching the entire website, she only saw a sleeping bag that could withstand minus 30 degrees Celsius. In the end, she had to buy a lot of small solar heaters, just thinking that the sun would be more powerful when the time came.

The bed is covered with tablets, which are downloading various professional videos on planting, handicrafts, construction, breeding, etc. Some are also downloading various popular TV series, movies and variety shows.

Others don't know, but Xie Qin knows that the extreme weather of the end of the world will last for three years. After three years, the world will be re-ordered, and many human bases will appear, and civilization will begin to recover. At that time, animals, plants, and even humans will have different degrees of mutations, and the protagonists of this book will all have first-class superpowers. But she doesn't know if she has superpowers.

If none of his family members awakened their special powers, they would be the lowest class of human beings in the world at that time, without any ability to protect themselves. These seeds were the last hope for him, his brother and his mother to hide and survive.

Thinking of the protagonist of this world, Xie Qin was distracted for a moment, recalling the contents of the book.

The protagonist of this world is called Ning Cheng, a heroine who has everything going for her. She is reborn, has her own space, and the supernatural power she finally awakens is the ability to heal. Because of her beauty, she is surrounded by many gifted men who work for her without regrets.

The hero is Jiang Shan, the prince of one of the best arms manufacturing groups in this country and even in the world. The book describes him as having a face and money that are unique in the world, and an extremely smart brain. In the end, his superpowers awakened to dual superpowers of lightning and fire, which were so powerful that it was unimaginable.

Xie Qin smiled and shook her head. Compared with her, these people were just like the moon in the sky and the dust on the ground. She was not curious about these things, nor about those people. She just wanted her family to live well.

My mother didn't come back until late at night, and Xie Qin had bought almost everything that could be bought online. The next time was to wait in this hotel for the express deliveries to arrive one by one.

"Mom, can the food we prepared last for three years?"

"Assuming that no one eats one pound of staple food and half a pound of meat a day, those things can only last for two years at most. I have thought of all this. Don't worry, mom won't let you starve."

The next morning, Zhang Mingfang drove back home with some tools, solar panels, and hundreds of foldable water storage barrels. Xie Qin and her brother stayed in the hotel waiting for the delivery.

Zhang Mingfang did not hesitate to unload the solar panels directly on the open space next to the yard. The foldable buckets were filled with woven bags and it was impossible to tell what they were.

"Sister, why did you buy so many solar panels?"

"They said that power outages are common in the mountains, so I thought solar energy is environmentally friendly and stable."

"That's true. You city people are the ones who think that."

Zhang Mingfang smiled and said nothing more. Including the ones she had bought before, a total of 300 solar panels were piled up randomly in the yard, and Zhang Mingfang simply covered them with plastic sheeting.

The people on the construction team didn’t know much about solar panels, and they had only heard of them but weren’t curious.

In the next few days, Zhang Mingfang came back in the middle of the night and moved a lot of supplies and some of the express deliveries that had arrived earlier to the attic. She didn't meet the people from the construction team and no one noticed her.

When the ten days were up, Zhang Mingfang returned to the villa with the last truckload of supplies. Now the entire attic, the study and bedroom on the second floor, and the kitchen cabinets on the first floor were all filled with supplies and food.

The construction team worked diligently and cleaned the yard after finishing. Zhang Mingfang didn't delay and paid all the money directly, including the alloy door, which was 22.8 yuan in total. In the past ten days, he spent more than yuan on electronic equipment, surveillance, drones, various power generation equipment, gasoline and diesel. Looking at the card, the original yuan was only yuan left.

"When the end of the world comes, all this money will be useless. Let's exchange it all for supplies."

"Buy some wool blankets, buy more. When the extreme cold comes, we will choose a bedroom and cover the walls with them. Then we can buy some insulation boards and heat preservation boards. Then we should not be sad no matter what extreme weather there is."

"it is good."

After discussing it, the mother and daughter drove out in the RV. They spent 20,000 yuan to buy half a truckload of wool blankets and ordered 40,000 yuan worth of insulation boards and heat preservation boards, which were also transported back in the truck. They left exactly 8,000 yuan on the card to be used later.

At this point, the stockpiling of supplies is all over.

On June 30th, the sky began to turn gray. It began to drizzle that night. With a few thunderclaps in the middle of the night, it was like a leak.

Suddenly, chickens crowed in the chicken coop next to him, and the dogs also barked. Le Yang looked over there through the large French window, but the heavy rain blurred his vision. He could only see a few faint lights. It should be Uncle Liu and his friends who got up to check the chicken coop.

"Sister, has the apocalypse you talked about begun?"

"Yeah. Let's start."
