After getting the key to the house and coming out of the housing rental center, Liu Ruoyan got into her own car.
It was almost three o'clock now, and there was only one hour left before daybreak.
Liu Ruoyan had to move all the things in the car to her home on the sixth floor and find a place to park the car properly before the sun came out completely.
Liu Ruoyan drove the car to the downstairs of the small building where she rented the house. She took a deep breath and started to move the things upstairs.
Only the sixth floor of this building had no lights on, so presumably no one was living there. The lights on the first to fifth floors were on, and obviously there were people inside.
Perhaps at this moment, someone was hiding behind the curtain, secretly observing her.
Liu Ruoyan wanted to live in the First Base for a long time. She didn't want to arouse suspicion by showing any flaws just after arriving, so she didn't dare to use her space to move things.
On the contrary, Liu Ruoyan kept taking things out of her space and putting them in the car, and then taking them down from the car and moving them upstairs trip after trip.
Only by making enough trips to move things could she have enough things to show in front of others in the future.
Anyway, it was dark, and Liu Ruoyan parked the car in a shady place. Those people looking out from the houses couldn't see clearly how many things were actually in Liu Ruoyan's car.
Fortunately, Liu Ruoyan had practiced martial arts since childhood, and her physical quality and strength were better than ordinary people. Although she was a bit tired after running back and forth so many times, she could still hold on.
Feeling that she had almost taken all the things, Liu Ruoyan drove the car and parked it in a nearby parking lot.
Besides the huge parking lot when entering the base, there were obviously parking lots in other parts of the base as well.
After all, the base was so large that it was obviously unrealistic to rely only on walking.
This parking lot also had a carport. Although its heat insulation effect was probably not much, it was better than nothing.
After parking the car, Liu Ruoyan thought for a while and then took out a gas can from the car. She pumped out all the gasoline in the car and carried the gas can back to the small building.
When Liu Ruoyan returned to the sixth floor, it was already slightly bright. Even without turning on the lights, Liu Ruoyan could see everything clearly in the house.
Liu Ruoyan didn't rush to do other things. She first replaced the lock cylinder of the security door.
Only by replacing the lock cylinder with her own could she feel at ease. Otherwise, who knew if others had the key to the door.
This door was still a bit flimsy. Liu Ruoyan decided that after getting familiar with the base, she would find a way to take out an iron grille door from her space and install an extra door for double insurance so that she could live with peace of mind.
After locking the door from the inside, Liu Ruoyan set up a ladder, took out a hammer and nails, and first nailed up the curtain rails in the room.
By the time Liu Ruoyan had nailed up the curtain rails for all the curtains and then hung up the curtains made of blackout cloth, the sun had already risen.
In just this short while, the temperature had risen sharply. Liu Ruoyan took a look at the room thermometer. It was already forty degrees at this time.
Fortunately, all the curtains had been hung up, covering each window tightly.
They not only blocked the sunlight but also blocked the sight from the small buildings in front and behind.
Liu Ruoyan didn't rush to turn on the lights. Instead, she walked around the room with a flashlight.
Liu Ruoyan had already paid the electricity and water bills with instant noodles and sausages, so the room was already powered on.
After walking around and making sure that there were no surveillance or eavesdropping devices in the room, Liu Ruoyan then turned on the lights.
It wasn't that Liu Ruoyan had paranoia, but that she had too many secrets and had to be more cautious.
As Liu Ruoyan turned on the lights, the fluorescent tubes on the ceiling emitted light, illuminating the whole room clearly.
Even though she had been busy all night, Liu Ruoyan was still excited about moving to a new home and didn't feel sleepy.
Liu Ruoyan walked around the room and also sprayed the whole room with insect repellent.
This was a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, covering an area of more than seventy square meters.
Both bedrooms faced south. One was larger and had a balcony, while the other was smaller and had only one south-facing window.
Liu Ruoyan finally chose the smaller room as her bedroom.
The smaller the room, the faster the temperature could be lowered when using an air-conditioning fan.
Liu Ruoyan sprinkled some water on the floor and then took out a broom to sweep away the cement slag and dust on the floor.
Immediately after that, Liu Ruoyan took out snap-on wooden floorboards from her space.
The installation method of this kind of wooden floorboard was very simple, and it was also easy to remove and replace.
Liu Ruoyan not only had this kind of wooden floorboard but also solid wood floorboards, vinyl floor coverings, and so on.
This small bedroom was only about a dozen square meters. It took Liu Ruoyan only one hour to finish laying the whole room.
After laying the floorboards, Liu Ruoyan took out a mop to mop the floor once, found a suitable position to place the bed frame and mattress.
She then took out a new set of ice silk bedding and laid it out. The small room immediately became much cozier.
There were originally sockets on the wall. Liu Ruoyan took out a power strip with a long wire, plugged it into the socket, and then took out two air-conditioning fans and plugged them into the power strip. She added ice cubes inside and turned on the switches.
As soon as the air-conditioning fans started blowing, Liu Ruoyan, who was sweating all over from the heat, immediately felt cooler.
Liu Ruoyan sat cross-legged on the floor and blew the fans for a while. When the sweat on her body had almost disappeared, she then got up and went to the bathroom.
Taking out a bathtub, Liu Ruoyan took off her clothes and sat in it to have a good bath. After that, she put the bathtub back into her space.
The temperature outside was too high. Liu Ruoyan was afraid that the water would stink if left outside.
Liu Ruoyan had a lot of bath water like this before, but there was no use for it.
But it was different now. Now it could be used to flush the toilet!
It was estimated that a lot of water bills could be saved.
One should save when necessary and spend when needed. Nothing should be wasted!
Liu Ruoyan directly put the things piled up on the living room floor into her space.
These rooms all needed to be redecorated, but there was no hurry.
When Liu Ruoyan returned to the small bedroom again, the temperature in the bedroom had already dropped.
Liu Ruoyan took out some porridge and steamed buns from her space, had a simple meal, and digested it for a while. Finally, she lay on the bed at eight o'clock.
The window in the room was 1.2 meters by 1.2 meters, but the curtain that Liu Ruoyan hung covered the entire wall where the window was located.
The blackout property of the curtain was very good. After turning off the lights, the whole room was pitch black.
The whole building was quiet, and there was no sound outside. Only the sound of the two air-conditioning fans blowing could be heard.
Accompanied by the sound of the air-conditioning fans, Liu Ruoyan gradually fell asleep.
When Liu Ruoyan woke up from her sleep, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
She had slept for ten hours, and when she woke up, Liu Ruoyan only felt refreshed.
After lying in bed for a while, Liu Ruoyan rolled over and sat up. She tidied up the bed and then quickly went to wash up and have a meal.
She had only eaten a little something to fill her stomach before going to bed.
Now that she had woken up, Liu Ruoyan only felt extremely hungry.
After all, she had just moved to a new home. Liu Ruoyan still decided to have a good meal to treat herself.
Liu Ruoyan took out a summer sleeping mat and laid it on the floor, then placed the table she used for eating before on it, and took out the dishes she wanted to eat one by one.
Since she was eating alone, in order to be able to eat more varieties, Liu Ruoyan prepared a small portion for each dish, and the plates and bowls were all small-sized.
