Just like that, there were a little over two months left before the apocalypse began.
Today, Jiang Li planned to move. The address had already been chosen earlier. She remembered that in her previous life, after the earthquake struck, this residential area, being newly built with solid construction standards, did not collapse.
She had already contacted a real estate agent about her old apartment. It was in a very good location, and she told the agent she was willing to sell it 500,000 yuan below market price, so it sold very quickly. She had originally bought it for over 5 million yuan, and it was sold for 4.85 million.
She stored everything from the old apartment into her space, including all furniture and other items. The advantage of having spatial storage was convenience. Of course, to avoid drawing attention, Jiang Li still hired a small truck to transport some of the items to the new address.
The new apartment was fully furnished with high-end finishing, including complete furniture, so it was ready for immediate move-in. The previous owner had been transferred abroad for work and, since leaving it vacant would be wasteful, decided to rent it out instead.
After finishing the move and doing a simple cleaning, it was already around four or five in the afternoon. She planned to eat out today instead of cooking at home, and also take the opportunity to get familiar with the surrounding area.
This residential area was newly developed, and the occupancy rate was still not very high. Walking along the streets, she barely encountered many people.
After strolling around outside, she also stopped by a pharmacy and bought some cold medicine, fever patches, antipyretics, hemostatic bandages, gauze, cotton swabs, disinfectant solution, anti-inflammatory drugs, iodine-based disinfectant, and other medical supplies. She had occasionally purchased these items before as well, but medical supplies were subject to purchasing controls, so she had to buy them in multiple batches. She had also stockpiled some family medical kits online, which already contained basic essentials.
Carrying her items, she entered the elevator, where she encountered a tall man. He was holding a phone and seemed to be replying to messages. Visually, he was about 190 cm tall, with a straight nose bridge, deep-set eyes, and a crew cut. He stood upright with a sharp posture. His physique was the kind that looked lean in clothes but muscular underneath. His exposed arms gave off a strong, powerful impression. His face was also very handsome, Jiang Li felt he looked even better than most celebrities.
Ordinarily, encountering someone in an elevator would not have been anything unusual. What made Jiang Li pay attention was not just his looks, but the calluses on the tiger’s mouth area of his right hand. This was a spot that usually developed calluses only for people who frequently handled guns.
In her previous life, she had come into contact with firearms before, so she naturally knew where such calluses would form. Moreover, these calluses were clearly old, not newly formed. In a peaceful era like this, could he be in the military?
Regardless of what he did, as long as he did not cause trouble for her, Jiang Li would not interfere. She simply silently remembered this person and decided to keep her distance from him. In this life, she only wanted to live well.
When the elevator doors opened, the man stepped out first. Only then did Jiang Li realize that he lived on the same floor as her, he was directly across from her apartment.
This residential building had two units per elevator, meaning only two households per floor, with a total of 18 floors. Jiang Li lived on the 10th floor, which would also allow her to get downstairs more quickly if an earthquake occurred later.
After returning home, Jiang Li booked a flight to go abroad seven days later. She had been in the process of applying for a visa, which had finally been approved a few days ago. In order to properly protect herself in the apocalypse, weapons were absolutely essential.
After the apocalypse began, social order would collapse, and the greedy nature of human beings would be fully exposed. Robberies and murders would become common. Only with weapons could she better protect herself.
Firearms were not permitted in the country, but many countries abroad allowed them due to looser regulations and more chaotic conditions.
Fuel was also controlled domestically and could not be purchased in large quantities at once. However, in other countries, many oil sources were privately owned. Jiang Li had already asked a business partner she knew from her previous company to help find a seller. When the time came, she would only need to go, pay the money, and complete the transaction.
In the next few days, there were still many things to handle. The anti-theft door she had ordered earlier would be installed by a technician tomorrow. The clothes she had custom-ordered would also arrive in three days. This was also one of the reasons she planned to leave seven days later.
