Even though her space was a safe place, she couldn't seclude herself from the rest of the world. Zombies were not the only thing she would be fighting; there were also natural disasters, blizzards, tsunamis, heat waves, extreme cold, typhoons, food shortages, and human greed.
For these reasons, she needed a defensible location. She was glad for her penthouse apartment. It was on the top floor and was already secured with modern security systems. She had bought this apartment a year ago after her parents' inheritance was released by the court after they died in a car accident. Their building had thirty floors and she lived on the top floor.
Each floor only had two occupants and her neighbor happens to be the male lead. He had paid the previous owner of his apartment to double its value just so he could live on the same floor as Leng Pan. Quite the romantic that guy. Too bad the person he had been pinning for never reciprocated until the end of the book when she saw him killed by zombies to save her. Only then did she regret it, but it was already too late.
Her apartment was secure if it was during peaceful times, but the apocalypse is a different story, she had to call a renovation company to help her reinforce it and improve security. That was the second priority.
In the novel, Lu Zhen, the male lead, is one of the strongest survivors; he had tried protecting Leng Pan despite her stubbornness and blind loyalty to Bai Yinyin. If not for him trying to save her from being torn apart by zombies, he wouldn't have died so easily.
Now that Leng Pan had taken over, things were going to be different. She had to make him her biggest ally.
Leng Pan didn't have time to waste, so she got up, got changed, picked up her car keys, and headed out. She needed to change her car too. Driving a BMW in the apocalypse was suicidal.
The second female lead's wealth was another advantage she planned to use. She had an unlimited black card that could be used without worrying about running out of funds. Besides, money will become useless soon, so she has to spend it.
At first, she wanted to buy from the supermarket in bulk, but she was afraid it would arouse suspicion and get her into trouble. She had already realized from her knowledge of the book and the original host's memories that the world in the book was similar to the real world. She had to be careful.
Her first stop was at a renovation company where she demanded to see the manager. After being escorted to his office and being served tea she got down to business.
"I need my house to be renovated within the next five days. I want the windows to be reinforced with double bulletproof glass and a diamond net on the outside.
Also, add a bulletproof and shockproof door to my apartment and one on the stairs leading to the thirtieth floor of our building. Instead, solar panels on the balcony and connect high-capacity batteries. In addition, I want to add another air conditioner and air purifier in the living room and bedroom. Install floor heating that can support high temperatures and block any vents leading into my apartment and the corridor of the thirtieth floor.
On the doors and windows, install double anti-theft locks, the same as the door on the stairs. Can everything be done within five days?"
After she was done with her demand, she found that the manager was looking at her with astonishment. It was the first time he had heard someone make such demands, but his professionalism made him regain his composure quickly.
"It's possible, but that is a lot of work, so we will have to triple the number of people who usually work on such a project. If we are to finish a month's worth of work in five days, then you will have to pay more. "
"Money is not a problem." She said as she produced a black card. "Here, you can deduct your fee and use the best quality materials. I just bought a villa and want it renovated so if you satisfy me with this small project, I will assign you that villa." She had to bluff to prevent them from taking her money and doing a shoddy job.
"Don't worry, miss; in five days, your apartment will be a fortress." The manager said good-natured as he took the black card with trembling hands and went to swipe it. It was his first time coming across such a wealthy client. He had to treat her like a god of wealth.
Leng Pan left the keys to her apartment with the manager and went to a car dealership next door. This shop catered to the rich and powerful, and she was sure she would get a good modified Hummer there.
She had just walked in when an attendant came to talk to her.
"Hello miss, how can we help you?"
"I want to sell my BMW and replace it with a modified Hummer. Do you have anything of the sort?" She went straight to the point as she didn't want to waste time.
"You came to the right place; I will call the manager to talk to you as that way, the process will go faster." Leng Pan wanted to kiss the guy. She was indeed running out of time and needed to hasten the process.
"Thank you."
She only waited for five minutes before the manager came towards her smiling.
"Miss, I heard you are selling your BMW and buying a Hummer; what are your specifications? Also, are you placing your car with us to sell or are you selling it to us directly?"
"Hearing the manager's words only then did Leng Pan realize that she didn't need to wait to sell her car and could do it directly.
"I will just sell it to you. As for the specifications of the Hummer, I want one with bulletproof and shockproof plates and glass, run-flat tires, double diesel tanks, and a sunroof made of the same material. Do you have any like that?"
