The five girls split up to take action. Cheng Zhi and Huang Yiyi took a taxi to the appliance center, while the other three headed to the mall to sweep through supplies.
The moment they entered, Cheng Zhi directly bought a commercial freezer and a household refrigerator. On the other side, Huang Yiyi bought a brand new washer dryer combo.
After asking the staff to help move everything to the underground parking garage, the two girls stored the items into the space and continued shopping, purchasing a generator along with all kinds of pots, bowls, and kitchen utensils.
After leaving the appliance center, Huang Yiyi even wanted to head into the 4S car dealership next door, but the two of them were practically out of money and simply could not afford anything there.
Cheng Zhi patted Huang Yiyi on the shoulder.
“After the apocalypse starts, these things won’t cost money anymore. If we need them then, we can just come back and take them.”
The two returned to the cabinet space through their keys and started assembling everything. After a while, the other three girls also appeared inside the space carrying large bags and small bags.
Chen Siyu had mainly been responsible for buying meat.
Chicken, duck, pork, beef, fish, she bought all kinds.
Zheng Wan had bought a large amount of eggs, vegetables, beef balls, and other foods. Since she knew vegetables were difficult to preserve, she had also gone and bought all sorts of fruit and vegetable seeds.
Xiao Feiran had gone even harder.
After seeing Zheng Wan buy seeds, she had directly run to a farm on the outskirts and brought back four live chickens and three rabbits, while also buying farming tools needed for tilling land.
“That’s impressive! Seeds, chickens, rabbits, are we opening a farm in our dorm now?!”
Chen Siyu rubbed one of the little rabbits in her hands, her eyes sparkling.
“Hehehe, rabbits are so cute, of course we have to eat rabbits! Little bunny, hurry up and grow bigger. Have lots and lots of baby rabbits…”
After settling all the new items inside the space, Xiao Feiran went to pick up a package.
Who would have thought that she had bought a security door as hard as steel, along with installation tools?
Everyone was stunned.
Cheng Zhi could roughly guess what Xiao Feiran was planning and asked with concern,
“You want to reinforce our dorm door? But installing it is going to be loud. Won’t it attract too much attention?”
Xiao Feiran confidently shook her head while playing with the hammer in her hand.
“Most of the people living on the eighth floor are from our department. Tomorrow’s Monday. I checked the class schedule. Our major basically has classes packed all morning, and in the afternoon there’s a lecture from some industry big shot. Everyone’s definitely going. There’ll only be a few scattered people on the whole floor. If anyone asks us, we’ll just say our door lock broke and termites ruined the door panel, so we had no choice but to replace it.”
The other four nodded, but they still felt a little uncertain.
Chen Siyu directly asked, “But Feiran… how do you even know how to install doors? You have that skill too?”
Xiao Feiran tossed her hair disdainfully and slung the electric drill onto her shoulder.
“My dad’s a repairman. I watched him work all the time when I was little. It’s just a door. Installing it is easy.”
Wow.
She looked incredibly confident.
The other four quietly applauded from the side, completely won over by Master Xiao and her electric drill.
Suddenly, while Chen Siyu was still cheering her on, she seemed to think of something. She slapped her thigh, sprang to her feet, and rushed out of the dorm.
About an hour later, she reappeared from the cabinet space.
Everyone curiously stretched their necks, wondering what new additions had been made.
Chen Siyu gave a silly grin and stepped aside, revealing electric chainsaws, electric grass cutters, and several stun batons behind her.
“In our last life, we had no weapons at all. Whenever something happened, we could only run. If we couldn’t run away, we died. But this time, we’re fighting back! Whoever the hell dares bully us, we’ll kill them!”
As Chen Siyu spoke, her eyes gradually reddened.
The other four girls immediately surrounded her with concern.
Cheng Zhi pulled her into a hug.
“That’s right. This time, no one will ever bully us again. We’ll survive to the very end.”
Night gradually fell.
Midnight was approaching, but Cheng Zhi tossed and turned in bed.
Tomorrow would be the twelfth.
The strong winds would begin tonight, and soon after, the heavy rain would start.
The apocalypse would officially begin.
Even though she had been reborn and gained this miraculous space, people could not help worrying.
This time, could everyone in Dorm 806 really survive safely?
Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Xiao Feiran, sleeping across from her, lightly knocked twice on the wooden board between their beds and softly said,
“Zhizhi, don’t be too anxious. We prepared so much, we’ll definitely get through this. We bought things and warned our families too. They’ll definitely be safe.”
Cheng Zhi took a deep breath and knocked twice on the bed board in response.
As she watched the date on her phone change from the eleventh to the twelfth, she closed her eyes.
Come on then.
Bring it all on.
At eight in the morning, the entire Dorm 806 skipped class.
Some worked on dismantling the door, while others reviewed supplies.
Watching Huang Yiyi focus intently on browsing “must stock apocalypse supplies” on a forum, Cheng Zhi could not help asking,
“Yiyi, you’re the class representative. Is it really okay for you to skip class?”
Normally, Huang Yiyi treated studying like her entire life. Yet after hearing that, she did not even lift her head.
“The world’s ending, why would I still go to class? Holy shit! There are so many things in this post we still don’t have. No way, I need to go out again!”
After saying that, she rushed out without even changing out of her pajamas.
Cheng Zhi shouted after her,
“Do you even have money left?!”
“I’ll use Huabei! I don’t have to pay it back anyway!”
It was as if a door to a new world had opened.
The other four girls all wore expressions of enlightenment.
You could do that too?
Since someone was already handling supply purchases, Xiao Feiran continued working on the new door.
Cheng Zhi looked around the dorm and eventually fixed her gaze on the balcony.
Even though they lived on the top floor, there was no guarantee that no one would break in.
Zheng Wan leaned against her chair and followed Cheng Zhi’s gaze toward the balcony.
However, what she thought about was not safety, but privacy.
“Should we install curtains or put on privacy film? What if people see us living comfortably later and come rob us?”
Chen Siyu, who had been lying in bed scrolling through the news, immediately looked horrified.
She sat upright on the spot and insisted on going with Zheng Wan to buy privacy film.
Meanwhile, Cheng Zhi stayed behind to help Xiao Feiran install the door.
Even if she was not the main worker, she could still hand over tools.
It only took around five minutes for Xiao Feiran to remove the original paper thin wooden door.
Installing the new one was more troublesome.
Hinges, locks, floor catches…
Xiao Feiran worked with extreme care, hoping this door could firmly protect their dorm.
The installation continued until noon, and they finally had the basic structure done.
The two decided to continue in the afternoon after classes started.
As for the duo working on privacy film, their progress was much faster.
By morning’s end, they had completely covered the glass door connecting the dorm and the balcony.
In the afternoon, the two still wanted to continue shopping, terrified of missing even the smallest thing.
The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, before classes ended, Dorm 806’s new door was completely finished.
Cheng Zhi opened and closed it several times and could not help sighing.
Sure enough, expensive things had their reasons for being expensive.
Even the feel of touching it was completely different from the old one.
The shopping trio also hurried back before sunset.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Cheng Zhi quickly shared an idea she had been thinking about all day.
“We’ve swept through basically everywhere, but there’s still one last place we need to go.”
The other four stared at her with wide eyes, then immediately smacked her.
“Stop keeping us in suspense and spit it out already!”
Cheng Zhi smiled slyly.
“The library! Let’s make our space even bigger.”
