Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

33 days before the end of the world

Gu Tongwan sent a message to Liao Yunyun early in the morning, saying that she would go to Liao Yunyun's coffee shop in the afternoon to pick up the two little ones.

In the morning, I drove my Toyota Tundra to the Zijing Garden community near Zijing Road. This is one of the earliest high-end residential communities built in Jiangcheng. It is only a fifteen-minute drive from the city center and there is also a mature business district nearby.

Although the Zijing community is not as well planned as Zhang Heng's community, it is also one of the more famous communities in Jiangcheng. When it was first launched in 13, the price was hyped up to more than yuan per square meter. It is also considered a place where wealthy people live in Jiangcheng.

The reason why Gu Tongwan chose Zijing Community was entirely because of the high-end community security and complete supporting facilities of surrounding hospitals, schools and large shopping malls. In addition, her university was nearby, so she had already memorized the routes here.

The agent was waiting in the agreed room 1604 early. He was a young man with mousse and sunset orange hair. He was a little uncertain when he saw Gu Tongwan. He suppressed his surprise and asked 59's user name before he confirmed that it was him.

In fact, the two had chatted before on the 59 platform. When Gu Tongwan said that she wanted to rent a community near Zijing Road, this person recommended three houses to her. However, in the end, Gu Tongwan still chose the Zijing community with the highest rent.

The most important reason is that the owner of the house and his family are going abroad in a week, so they entrusted the agency to rent out the house quickly. It is said that the family is accompanying their son to study abroad and will not return home at least in the short term.

What Gu Tongwan wanted to find was a house without any worries. A house without the original owner after a natural disaster would save her a lot of trouble.

The heavy rain after the natural disaster lasted for a full four months. The house in the old city where she lives now has only seven floors. It will take less than a month for the fifth floor to be flooded. Moreover, there are all such unit houses in the surrounding area. In less than a month, the entire community will be in a situation of housing shortage and forced sharing of resources.

In his previous life, Gu Tongwan was left homeless due to heavy rain and finally had to rely on Zhang Heng. In the end, he followed Zhang Heng to the rescue center.

Although he didn't know whether heavy rain would come again in this life, Gu Tongwan never wanted to experience the plight of being displaced again, so he had already planned to rent a house.

As soon as I entered the room, my attention was attracted by the two security doors in front of me. The first security door was a swing type, and the upper part could see the situation outside through the iron bars, while the second one was a thickened, integrated, intelligent Class A security door.

Would ordinary people install two anti-theft doors at home?

Gu Tongwan suppressed the doubts in his mind and decided to look inside the house first.

"I've seen it. This apartment is better than the one in Building E next door. It faces south and has better daylight. After deducting the common area, it still has 520 square meters. It doesn't feel crowded with three bedrooms and one living room. The high rent is justified. After all, it's less than five minutes away from the subway station and ten minutes away from Zijing Wanda Plaza. Those who bought the apartment here through the lottery were able to get their marriage licenses at the Civil Affairs Bureau on May ."

Just as the agent was praising the place to the skies, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard outside the door.

A plump middle-aged woman in a red dress arrived in a hurry.

"I'm a little late, sorry."

The woman had a pretty face, but she was gaining weight quickly, so she was still gasping for breath when she came in.

Today the original owner will also come to discuss matters related to renting a house, mainly because she also wants to know what kind of person she will rent her house to.

Seeing that it was a young girl and that there was no one else around her, he took out a tissue to wipe her sweat and asked with a smile, "Beautiful girl, do you live with your family or with your boyfriend?"

"I live alone." Gu Tongwan said calmly.

The woman was a little surprised, but then she felt it would be better to be alone. She was not willing to rent the house to a family, especially one with children, who would more easily ruin her walls.

Gu Tongwan walked around the room and saw the balcony in the hall. There were glass windows installed on the balcony. She knocked on the glass and found it was thickened explosion-proof. Not only that, there were even sound insulation panels in the hall and the room. No wonder she couldn't hear the agent calling her outside as soon as she entered the room.

The fat woman thought that Gu Tongwan disliked the explosion-proof glass installed on the balcony, so she could only smile awkwardly: "My son is a doomsday puzzler. During the summer vacation in high school, he became addicted to playing games and always felt that the world would end one day. So he took advantage of the half month when his father and I were not at home, and contacted a decoration company to install it at home. The same goes for the sound insulation board, but don't worry, it doesn't actually have any effect. I sleep much better with the sound insulation board..." The woman's smile was a little weak, probably because she couldn't make it up. Thinking about how her son spent nearly 100,000 yuan on these things after she and her husband went on a business trip, she was about to have a high blood pressure attack at the time.

Gu Tongwan turned around again without responding to the woman.

The woman looked at the agent and was obviously a little anxious. She was in a hurry to accompany her son to study abroad. Her husband had a stable job abroad. She had no work experience there and could only be a housewife. This house was a dowry given by her parents. She thought that the rent every month would be enough for her to buy things even if she didn't work abroad.

In addition, Gu Tongwan is single, so she is very satisfied. For example, several families came to her house to look at it before, and some of them complained about the explosion-proof glass windows installed on the balcony, while others complained that the sound insulation panels on the walls were ugly. They all wanted to lower the rent for the house, so it has been put on the market for more than two months but has not been rented out.

Suddenly, I heard the beautiful young girl nodding and saying, "Sign the contract, but I only want to rent it for two months."

The fat woman was stunned at first, probably because she didn't expect her house to be rented out. But when she heard her say that it was only for two months, her face turned unhappy and she forced a smile: "Beauty, I rent it for half a year. I won't rent it for less than half a year."

Gu Tongwan responded with a faint smile, did not follow her, and walked out.

Although the house is very suitable for my taste, the deposit plus the rent has exceeded my budget after half a year. Besides, the end of the world will come in two months. When heavy rain comes, it will be difficult for ordinary people to go out. Who will take care of the rented house?

Seeing Gu Tongwan leave without any hesitation, the fat woman panicked, gritted her teeth and shouted behind her: "Hey, beauty, I haven't decided yet, two months is two months, I'll rent it!" After saying that, she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "How come there are still people who only rent for two months these days? It's so troublesome."

The rental contract was signed quickly. Party A and Party B gave the agent half a month's rent, which meant each of them transferred 3,000 yuan to the agent. Gu Tongwan then transferred two months' rent and a deposit totaling 18,000 yuan to the fat woman.

After getting the key, the agent asked Gu Tongwan to join the property management group of the community.

"You live alone. If you encounter a power outage or water outage, the group will notify you in advance. The group will also occasionally release information about vaccinations and nearby school enrollment, so you can learn a lot about the situation."

Gu Tongwan nodded and did not object to joining the group. When a natural disaster strikes, he will be able to learn about the reactions of various families from the group in advance, and maybe he can help clear mines or give early warnings.

After leaving the community, I drove straight to Liao Yunyun's coffee shop, which was close to Qingshan Road and only took about 20 minutes to drive there.

Liao Yunyun's coffee shop has a warm style and is located near several foreign companies. Many business people come here to drink coffee.

It was noon when I arrived. There were not many people in the coffee shop during lunch time. I saw Liao Yunyun sitting under a parasol outdoors, looking very leisurely.
