A month had passed and Lu Ningfei was busy with purchases all over the country and lived in a hotel until he got a call from the building team.
The apocalypse was coming, and he had no time to waste on family drama or petty grievances.
With only a month left before the world would be thrown into chaos, Ningfei knew he had to secure his safe house. These would be his sanctuaries when the time came, fortified strongholds where he could wait out the storm. He had already spent countless hours reinforcing these locations, and now it was time to inspect them, make sure everything was in order, and stock them with essential supplies.
His first stop was the villa, an expansive property nestled in a remote part of the city. It was a luxurious home, complete with all the trappings of wealth—marble floors, chandeliers, and towering ceilings.
But Ningfei had transformed it into something far more than a mere symbol of status. The villa was now a fortress, with reinforced walls, bulletproof windows, and a hidden underground bunker that could withstand even the most determined attacks.
As he walked through the villa, Ningfei made a mental checklist of everything he needed to inspect.
The security systems were his first priority. He checked the hidden cameras, ensuring they covered every possible entry point, and tested the alarm systems to confirm they were fully operational.
The villa's perimeter was lined with motion sensors and electric fencing, designed to keep out both human intruders and, eventually, the undead.
Next, Ningfei moved to the bunker. It was concealed beneath the villa's expansive garden, accessible only through a hidden entrance that could only be opened with a biometric scan.
The bunker was a masterpiece of design, with enough space to house several people for an extended period. It was equipped with air filtration systems, a water purifier, and a sustainable power source powered by solar panels hidden within the villa's architecture.
Lu Ningfei began the process of stocking the bunker with supplies. He placed 10 sets of each type of daily necessities—everything from toiletries to clothing—into the storage units.
He then moved on to the food supplies, carefully arranging frozen meals, canned goods, and other non-perishables in the massive freezers and storage compartments. A set of high-powered generators, capable of running for months on end, was installed to keep everything running smoothly even if the outside world descended into darkness.
Once the villa was fully stocked, Ningfei moved on to his next location: the apartment. This was a more modest property located in a high-rise building in the city's financial district. While it lacked the sprawling space of the villa, it was no less secure. Ningfei had reinforced the apartment's walls with steel plating and installed a series of traps that could be activated in case of an invasion.
Finally, Ningfei made his way to the factory. This was the most industrial of his safe houses, located in an abandoned warehouse district on the outskirts of the city. Ningfei had spent weeks transforming the factory into a fortress, using his knowledge of engineering and architecture to create a structure that could withstand anything. The factory was surrounded by high walls topped with barbed wire, and the main entrance was protected by a heavy steel gate that could only be opened from the inside.
Inside the factory, Ningfei had set up a series of workstations, each one designed for a specific purpose.
There was a large storage area where he kept bulk supplies—food, water, fuel, and more—along with a workshop where he could build and repair equipment.
The factory also housed a small armory, stocked with weapons and ammunition that Ningfei had collected over the past few months.
As he walked through the factory, Ningfei couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what he had accomplished.
This was his masterpiece, a place where he could survive and thrive even in the midst of an apocalypse. He stocked the hidden safes within the factory with the same sets of supplies, ensuring that every corner of his fortress was prepared for the worst.
With the villa, apartment, and factory fully stocked and fortified, Lu Ningfei returned home. But as he sat in front of his computer, reviewing his finances, he realized that he still had 27 billion yuan left. That was more money than he could ever hope to spend, even with all the preparations he had made. And with the apocalypse looming, Lu Ningfei knew that there was no point in holding onto it.
So, he made a decision. He would use the remaining money to buy anything and everything that could potentially be useful, regardless of its intended purpose or target audience. After all, in a world where survival was the only currency that mattered, even the most unlikely items could prove invaluable.
Ningfei began by browsing online marketplaces, placing massive orders for supplies in bulk. He ordered 100 sets of 3D printers, each one capable of printing everything from tools to replacement parts.
Next, he turned his attention to books. Ningfei was a firm believer in the power of knowledge, and he wanted to ensure that he had access to as much information as possible. He ordered hundreds of books on a wide range of topics—medicine, engineering, agriculture, survival skills, and more. He even ordered novels and entertainment books, knowing that maintaining mental health and morale would be just as important as physical survival.
Ningfei didn't stop there.
He ordered 100 satellite phones, ensuring that he would always have a way to communicate even if traditional networks went down. He also ordered hundreds of games—both physical and digital—knowing that people would need distractions and ways to pass the time in the new world.
Sports equipment was also on the list; he bought everything from soccer balls to tennis rackets, anything that could be used to maintain physical fitness or simply for recreational purposes.
The next few weeks were a whirlwind of activity.
The orders began arriving in waves, each shipment containing hundreds of items that needed to be sorted, organized, and stored.
Lu Ningfei rented additional warehouses to accommodate the sheer volume of supplies, turning each one into a carefully organized repository of survival essentials.
He hired a team of workers to help him unpack and categorize everything, giving them strict instructions to keep everything in order.
In no moment, it was already 2 weeks before the apocalypse came.
And now there were only two items left to buy, Seeds and livestock.
His space accommodates living animals, so he decided to pull some in his space and he will make a fence for their activities.
So, Lu Ningfei was busy who week digging pond for fish, plowing land for seeds, transplanting trees, buying all types of seeds and fresh fruits, making fence for the animals, buying animals and buying their feeds.
He was so dead tired by the end of the week that he slept straight for 24 hours.
