Chapter 19 Unexpected Development
Wei Jiao must admit that on the fourth day after getting the gold finger, she was even busier and looked at four houses but the scores were only 63 points, 70 points, 80 points and 61 points. She did not expect anything. On the very next fifth day, I found the most ideal house.
Yes, when Teacher Goldfinger ruthlessly threw out such a frightening high score of 96 points in one second, she almost knelt down on the spot.
At that time, she was standing on the balcony of this approximately 50-square-meter house with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, listening to the explanation. This was an extremely ordinary room. It was so ordinary that two of the few friends in her poor circle of friends who invited her to visit their rental houses in City B rented this type of room.
At that moment, it was the fifth day after she got the golden finger and knew that the end of the world was coming.
On this day, the energy had dissipated, causing her to experience a sleepy morning awakened by the alarm clock for the first time in a long time; while driving on a strange road, she saw a mobile breakfast truck and bought eggs. The cake was so salty that she drank a bottle of water; because of that bottle of water, she had to solve the problem in a public toilet in the wilderness.
——The wilderness is where the house that scored a high score of 96 is located. Although some exaggerated rhetorical techniques are used appropriately, it is not bad at all.
As Wei Jiao drove along, the road became more and more remote. Buildings on both sides of the road gradually turned into hillside guardrails. Even the sky was much wider, making her wonder from time to time whether she was still within the confines of the prosperous capital city.
Of course, the neighborhood where the rental house is located is gradually coming back to prosperity. On the way Wei Jiao drove there, she saw a shopping mall that had been pulled up from the wasteland, as well as a very huge and unexpected home furnishing store.
Across a wide road from the community is a small daily commercial circle, with convenience stores, restaurants, barber shops and other shops that meet people's daily needs.
There is a bus station not far from the entrance of the community. Of course, this is not important to Wei Jiao. Who in the last days needs to check whether the bus station is close when renting a house?
However, she is quite satisfied with the community itself. It is a newly built community. The girl who showed her the house said that it has only been in use for five years. It is of good quality and is said to be very earthquake-resistant.
She herself has observed that the surrounding environment of the community is relatively open, and the overall area is not too large. It is in the shape of a quadrilateral, with two sides adjacent to the road. The outer walls are high and thick, and the north and south entrances are strictly managed and equipped with security guards. A large iron gate with a strong sense of style.
And what she is most satisfied with...
"You should have seen it all the way here. It's really too remote here, so there aren't many people. It seems like half of this floor is empty, and many of these small apartments are rented by working people, so It’s very quiet here, and there’s not much movement all day long.” The girl who showed her the house was very talkative, and she kept trying to introduce her to her, “And isn’t this community new? It seemed to be pretty good when it was built. Seriously, not only is it sturdy, but the sound insulation effect is also very good. Anyway, sometimes I play music so loud that it’s deafening, and I go out to get takeout or something. Anyway, once the door is closed, I can’t hear anything standing outside.”
After saying that, she might feel a little bad, so she quickly brought the water: "Hey, the surrounding area is actually quite complete. If you want to buy something, just cross the street. There is a shopping mall over there, and there is a hospital further away. In fact, originally It's going to be lively here. Isn't that theme park going to be built here? It's been under construction for a while, but it was stopped a few days ago for no apparent reason... Anyway, I guess it will be built by then. There must be a lot of people coming here to play, so just take your time and get up."
Wei Jiao is of course very satisfied with the quiet environment, but what she is most satisfied with is the landlord.
The girl who showed her the house in front of her was named Zhang. She was not the landlord, but also a tenant. The landlord was Miss Yang. She had lived abroad for a long time, so she rented this house to her friend Miss Zhang, and now Miss Zhang is going abroad soon. , so this post-apocalyptic house, rated 96 points by Goldfinger, was a bargain for her.
Yes, she decided the moment she got the 96 rating, this was it.
It's not that she is so sure that the house to be viewed later will not have a higher score than this, but she doesn't think it is necessary. Since there is already a 96 in front of her, what if 97 or 99 appears later? Are these few points really that important?
She saw that the score was not just a series of numbers with measuring significance, because she compared it with the houses, and she could also see a little bit of the clues.
The higher the score, the deserted the surroundings and the closer to the west direction. The room she was looking at now met the conditions very well. She guessed that the score might be deducted from the room type that was not spacious, but she really didn't care.
So, on this day, 96 days before the end of the world, Wei Jiao successfully took over this apocalyptic safe house.
However, it is not possible to move in immediately. Ms. Zhang will not go abroad until the beginning of next month, so there is still a month before she can move in.
Of course she is not in a hurry. The reason for scheduling the house viewing so closely is not because she is in a hurry to move, but because the more important things must be dealt with higher in priority, now that she has solved the most troublesome issue of renting a house, she can concentrate on stocking up. The goods are on the way.
Both of them said goodbye to each other with great satisfaction. Wei Jiao returned to the car, first used her mobile phone to cancel the subsequent house viewing appointment, then opened the map and looked around the community.
According to Ms. Zhang's introduction, in addition to the shopping malls and home furnishing stores she saw on the way here, as well as a small commercial area directly opposite the community, if you look further down the other road, you can indeed see a hospital, and it is a big hospital. , the surrounding area is also quite lively.
Wei Jiao spotted the place, drove across the road first, copied the area on the opposite side into the space, and then drove to the hospital. After copying, she went directly around to the home furnishing store and shopping mall from the other side, and also included them in the space.
The rent was settled, and her schedule for the afternoon was cleared. She then thought about eating something tasty for lunch, and she didn't have to worry about her clothes being smoked. She could just drive home after eating.
She searched for Bobo Chicken brands she had eaten on a local travel app, compared them, and chose one with high ratings and reviews and drove there directly. The store is hidden in an alley, but the signboard is very conspicuous and easy to find.
As soon as the door was pushed open, an overbearing spicy smell hit his face and surrounded the whole person. The spineless Wei Jiao surrendered in less than a second, drooling with greed.
By the time she sat in the car with a hiss after finishing her meal, it was already more than an hour later. The car was filled with the salty and spicy smell, and Wei Jiao smelled it all the way back home.
When she got home, she changed her clothes first. The smell of Bobo chicken made her clothes stink. She ruthlessly threw the clothes into the space and sat in front of the computer while drinking Coke comfortably.
Although there was no need to make a stocking list due to the existence of Goldfinger, she still had to plan her stocking up now.
