Lin Shi spent a whole day setting up the shelter, with everything except for electrical appliances ready.
He also bought several carpets to lay in the living room of the shelter.
The electrical appliances would have to wait until the geomagnetic storm passed to avoid damage.
After the shelter was built, Liao Peng had nothing to do by Lin Shi's side.
Lin Shi thought for a moment and said:
"Go and prepare some supplies and put them in your rental house."
The end of the world was imminent, and he didn't mind helping Liao Peng as a reward for his diligent work over the past two months.
There would be no more salary payments, of course, and if Liao Peng didn't listen, Lin Shi wouldn't remind him again.
After sending Liao Peng away, Lin Shi took out his phone and pulled a number out of the blacklist.
Zhao Xiao.
Lin Shi dialed the number.
"Lin Shi?! Is it really you?! Where have you been lately?! I saw you being taken away by security guards in a short video last time, are you okay?!"
Zhao Xiao's voice sounded very pleasantly surprised.
It was really a pleasant surprise, as he had been almost scolded to death by his parents in the past two months, and the family's plan to buy a new house was delayed because he couldn't borrow money from Lin Shi.
Lin Shi said, "I'm fine, I've been in a bad mood and traveling in Sha City.
Do you want to come over and have some fun for a few days?"
Zhao Xiao on the other end of the phone didn't think about it and agreed:
"Sure! I'll take a few days off and accompany you properly!"
After a few casual chats, Lin Shi hung up the phone.
How could he forget Zhao Xiao, the person who killed him in his previous life?
He would never go back to Hai City, but that didn't mean he would let Zhao Xiao go.
Dealing with Zhao Xiao in Sha City was the same.
Lin Shi replenished ten tons of barreled water in Sha City and some of his favorite foods.
Then he bought two computers and copied countless materials and some movies, animations, and games online.
Including materials on making various tools, repairing electricity, generators, etc.
These materials might become extremely valuable in the future.
He had a little money left in hand besides the copied gold bars, and there was less than 100,000 in cash left.
Everything was ready.
Three days before the SSS-level solar flare outbreak, Zhao Xiao hurriedly came from Hai City.
It could be seen that Zhao Xiao had not been doing well in the past two months, and he had lost weight.
Zhao Xiao greeted Lin Shi with a lot of small talk and apologies, showing a very humble attitude.
While apologizing, he observed Lin Shi's expression.
"Lin Shi, I really treat you like a brother, so I didn't think about it, can you forgive me?
I will definitely do more for you in the future!"
A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Shi's face, and he nodded perfunctorily.
"Stay here for a week and leave, and I will cover all the expenses."
Zhao Xiao's face was visibly filled with joy.
Sure enough, Lin Shi was still that sucker Lin Shi.
It seemed that he was indeed too obvious last time and made Lin Shi angry.
"Okay!" Zhao Xiao naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and he was still looking for an opportunity to mention borrowing money to Lin Shi.
"By the way, when did you come to Sha City alone? I heard on the internet that you were expelled from school, is it true?"
Zhao Xiao seemed to care, but the schadenfreude in his eyes was not hidden well.
"It's true." Lin Shi nodded, pretending not to see.
Zhao Xiao feigned consolation for Lin Shi for a few words, then discussed the arrangements for the next few days with him.
These days, Lin Shi really wanted to relax.
Before the apocalypse, the risks were relatively high, and Lin Shi couldn't wait for these few days.
What he had to do was to keep Zhao Xiao in Sha City, and after the apocalypse came, let Zhao Xiao feel the despair of the apocalypse and die!
Lin Shi never thought of himself as a good person.
In his previous life, after losing the affection of his parents, he placed all his emotions on Zhao Xiao and these "good friends."
In the early days of the apocalypse, when money was still useful, he distributed the gold bars left by his father to several people, giving them hope to survive.
In the apocalypse, when he depended on Zhao Xiao for his life, he always took the initiative to do dangerous things.
However, despite doing so much, he only got betrayed in return.
Part of this was also due to his own weakness and inability to recognize people.
So in this life, he would not be soft-hearted again, and he would no longer believe in ridiculous emotions.
Although many things in the previous life, including betrayals, have not happened yet, Zhao Xiao's nature is like this, and even if it comes again, he will still be a thorough exploitation of him.
Lin Shi lowered his eyes to cover the cold air in his eyes.
"Hey? Isn't Xu Qin also studying in Sha City? Why not invite her out to play together?"
Zhao Xiao raised his eyebrows at Lin Shi, showing a look that every man understands.
Xu Qin is the second girl in the group of six, besides Xu Feifei.
Lin Shi's impression of this person is still eight years ago.
During high school, the others always matched him with Xu Qin, putting the two together to talk about things.
After being talked about a lot, Lin Shi also had a different feeling for this girl.
But now, for Lin Shi, this person has not been seen for eight years, and he can't even remember that face.
Mentioning this person again, Lin Shi has no feelings, but Zhao Xiao is urging him on the side, and Lin Shi also casually agrees.
He found a hotel, settled Zhao Xiao, and Lin Shi also lived next to Zhao Xiao.
And Zhao Xiao indeed invited Xu Qin.
The next day, that is, May 29th, two days before the countdown to the outbreak of the SSS-level solar flare.
Lin Shi and Zhao Xiao came to the seaside of Sha City and saw Xu Qin, who had not been seen for eight years.
Xu Qin is a dance major student at Sha City University's Art College, and her figure is naturally very good.
Because she is still playing by the sea today, Xu Qin boldly wore a bikini.
Zhao Xiao's eyes were all straight.
Lin Shi wore swimming trunks inside his clothes.
After taking off his clothes, his solid but not burly muscles made Xu Qin's eyes colorful.
"When did you exercise your body so well, Lin Shi?"
Xu Qin completely ignored the ordinary figure of Zhao Xiao on the side and looked at Lin Shi's abs frequently.
"I recently fell in love with exercising."
Lin Shi casually replied, spread out the beach chair, put on sunglasses, and started to enjoy the sunbath.
In two days, people won't need to wear sunglasses to look directly at this fireball in the sky.
Before the apocalypse comes, Lin Shi is also ready to enjoy the last two days of warm sunshine, to relax his always tense mood.
Xu Qin also lay down to bask in the sun next to Lin Shi.
The two chatted casually, completely ignoring Zhao Xiao.
A gloom flashed in Zhao Xiao's eyes, but he still squeezed out a smile and inserted himself into the conversation between the two.
The three stayed until the sunset, left the beach, found a place to have a meal, and dispersed.
On the last day, Lin Shi still played with Zhao Xiao and Xu Qin in Sha City for a day.
Time finally came to June 1st, Children's Day.
The day of the outbreak of the SSS-level solar flare.
