The police were also shocked by Lin Fu’s shamelessness and slammed the table, standing up, “Slandering the police is an even greater crime!”
Lin Qianhuan was very satisfied with this outcome. She watched Lin Fu being handcuffed before striding out of the police station.
The sky was blue, and there was no stench unique to zombies in the air, nor could she see humans killing each other.
The ground was clean and tidy, and the biting cold winter wind brought the aroma of baked sweet potatoes, making Lin Qianhuan swallow her saliva constantly.
She knew that after the zombie outbreak, ordinary survivors could only eat rotten and deteriorated food, and even a moldy, hairy piece of bread would be snatched up by many people.
She walked forward, bought a steaming baked sweet potato, squatted on the side of the street, and dialed that number she knew by heart.
“Hello? What’s wrong, Huanhuan?”
The voice on the other end sounded a little tired, but the tone was full of undisguised joy, “Remembered to call your big brother? I thought you’d forgotten about me.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Qianhuan’s eyes welled up with tears.
After their mother passed away, Lin Fu ignored his three children. As the eldest, Lin Yixuan supported the precarious family, working hard outside to provide for his younger siblings.
But when the apocalypse came, he was out of the province on business, and Lin Qianhuan didn’t even get to see him one last time.
To this day, Lin Qianhuan still remembered that phone call. In her ear was the roar of zombies and the sound of chewing flesh. Lin Yixuan endured the pain and told her to live well.
Suppressing her sobs, Lin Qianhuan spoke anxiously, “Brother, come home, come back now!”
Lin Yixuan was a little puzzled, “What happened? Did that beast go looking for trouble with you again?”
He clenched his fist tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
“I can’t explain it clearly in a few words. Just come home quickly, brother. I’ll tell you when you get home, okay?”
Lin Qianhuan was currently standing on the street. She couldn’t reveal even a trace of information about zombies. If someone with ulterior motives overheard her, she might face a fatal disaster.
Fortunately, Lin Yixuan always granted her requests and agreed very decisively, starting to book tickets and pack his luggage.
After hanging up with her big brother, Lin Qianhuan thought for a moment and didn’t call her second brother, Lin Wansheng.
Her big brother often went on business trips, so her second brother stayed in Yuncheng to work in order to take care of her. She would naturally see him after he got off work.
The most important thing now was to create a safe enough shelter and to stockpile enough supplies for three people to survive.
After finishing the baked sweet potato, Lin Qianhuan gulped down a bottle of mineral water, looked around, and found a real estate agency and walked in.
As soon as she entered, a man in a black suit immediately greeted her. He wore black-framed glasses and greeted Lin Qianhuan very politely.
Lin Qianhuan went straight to the point, “I want to rent a villa in the eastern suburbs, and I also need a nearby warehouse. Do you have any listings?”
The agent nodded immediately, “Yes! You know Silver Bay Gardens in the eastern suburbs, right? It’s the most high-end villa district in Yuncheng. The environment and layout are top-notch. You’ll definitely be satisfied!
There are also large warehouses nearby. If you have time, can I take you to see them now?”
Lin Qianhuan nodded in agreement, and the two drove to the eastern suburbs.
It had to be said that the environment of Silver Bay Gardens was indeed good. Although it was located in the eastern suburbs, it was also the most high-end residential area in Yuncheng.
“Ms. Lin, as you can see, the villas are all luxuriously decorated. The original owner spent a lot of money. The furniture is all custom-made, and a fresh air system has been installed. The details are impeccable.
The doors, windows, and tiles are all top-quality materials. If the original owner wasn’t afraid that the house would be deserted if it wasn’t lived in for a long time, they wouldn’t have entrusted me to rent it out.”
The agent introduced enthusiastically, and Lin Qianhuan also carefully examined the interior environment.
It was indeed good. If she really rented it, she wouldn’t have to go to great lengths to redecorate the interior.
But the safety factor was definitely not high enough. The walls had to be raised, and the doors and windows had to be replaced with top-grade anti-theft materials. Only in this way could she isolate the man-eating zombies outside.
“What about the price?”
The agent’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and a calculating look flashed in his eyes.
“Eighteen thousand a month, rent for at least six months!”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled and stood there quietly, looking at him, her eyes showing neither anger nor joy.
The agent felt a numbness in his eyes from her gaze, and he swallowed nervously, pulling at the corners of his mouth stiffly, “Look at this layout, this lighting, and the interior decoration. No matter which one, it’s considered top-notch in our Yuncheng.
If you think the price is not suitable, how about I give you a discount of sixteen thousand a month?”
Lin Qianhuan raised her hand and fiddled with her well-manicured nails, “Eight thousand a month, not a penny more.”
Seeing that the apocalypse was imminent, she needed to prepare too many things, and there was no need to waste too much money on the house.
The money should be spent wisely. Food, water, gasoline, and weapons were the most important things.
The agent was shocked by her words, and after recovering, he opened his mouth, “You can’t bargain like that. Look at this decoration…”
“I saw it, but what’s the use of good decoration? This place is remote, very far from the subway station and the airport, and transportation is very inconvenient.
I specifically checked the map on the way here. There are no large shopping malls nearby, and it takes a lot of effort to go shopping.
And you still dare to ask me for sixteen thousand a month. Are you looking down on me because I’m young and easy to bully?
That’s the price. If you can’t accept it, I’ll leave. Anyway, Yuncheng doesn’t only have you as an agent, and it’s not like there’s only this one villa.”
After saying that, Lin Qianhuan immediately turned around and left. The agent bit his lip and quickly chased after her.
He had originally seen that Lin Qianhuan was young and naive and thought she was easy to deceive, so he deliberately increased the price. In addition, the owner was now abroad, so wouldn’t the difference in price all fall into his pocket?
Who would have thought that this Lin Qianhuan wouldn’t fall for his tricks at all, and even lowered the price so much.
“Eight thousand is definitely not possible for you. How about twelve thousand a month?”
“Eight thousand.”
“Eleven thousand, what do you think? This is already the lowest price I can get for you.”
“Eight thousand.”
“Ten thousand a month, and you can pay the rent one month at a time. How about that?”
Lin Qianhuan heard this and raised a bright smile, turning her head to shake hands with the agent.
“Deal. Find me a nearby warehouse, and we must complete all the procedures today.”
The agent wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to take Lin Qianhuan to see the warehouse.
The warehouse was indeed not far from the villa, only a 15-minute drive away, and the space was large enough to hold a sufficient amount of supplies.
Lin Qianhuan finally rented the warehouse for a price of four thousand five a month. The warehouse and the villa were both paid for one month at a time. She quickly signed the contract with the agent and got the keys to the villa and the warehouse.
