Ch. 2



——Ding Dong

Lou Ai checked the courier message on her phone and found out that the masks and medicines she bought online had arrived.
  
Lou Ai sorted the jewelry into categories, and put some big-brand diamond necklaces, watches and shoes with certificates up for sale online in the city. She then took out her father's car keys and drove to Xiangjiang Road, where she went to a gold recycling shop with the best online reviews, which was right on this street.

Lou Ai glanced at the plaque above the shop and walked in.
  
"Hello, how much is the recycling price per gram of gold?"
  
"Oh, there are some details to consider here. It depends on which brand the gold jewelry is from. Some brands are easy to be adulterated. I have to carefully examine the price before I can decide on it." The speaker was a little old man in a Zhongshan suit. He came up to me warmly and said with a smile.
  
"Here, they are all the same brand. Here is the certificate. I want to sell it."

Lou Ai took out several gold bracelets from her bag. After Qin Shi left, she pried open Qin Shi's room and sorted out all the jewelry boxes in the room. Diamonds and the like had been put away with an agreed second-hand buyer for the transaction in the afternoon, while the gold items were directly collected for recycling.
 
"I can give you 380 yuan per gram, little girl, don't think it's too little. This brand of gold jewelry is priced at this price. We won't buy it if it's higher." The old man said directly.
  
"Okay, all of these will be traded."

Lou Ai nodded, and walked out after the transaction was successfully completed.

"Dad, why didn't you bargain with the girl today? This bracelet has a lot of wear and tear, so why did you pay so readily?"
  
"Oh, you are such a tactless person. It's obvious from the look in that girl's eyes that she is not an ordinary person. It's better to send such a person away as soon as possible."

There were three bracelets, one weighing about 30 grams, one less than 10 grams, and one more than 20 grams. After deducting some loss and handling fees, the total amount was more than 22,000 yuan.
  
Lou Ai breathed a sigh of relief. Together with the more than 1,000 yuan left on her cell phone, it was barely enough to buy some daily necessities.

Relaxing, Lou Ai smelled the aroma of grilled fish coming from the restaurant next door.
  
The fresh, spicy smell stimulates the taste buds.
  
Lou Ai followed her heart and walked in. It was dinner time and the shop was bustling with people.
  
Lou Ai found a corner to sit down and ordered two Qingjiang fish weighing more than three pounds, with black fungus, potatoes, bamboo shoots, enoki mushrooms, kelp knots, and two bowls of rice.
  
In the past few days since her rebirth, her appetite has been increasing, and her strength and speed have increased significantly compared to when she was twenty years old in her previous life.
  
She propped her head up with her arms and looked at the party at the table next to her. The little kid with pigtails saw her, smiled sweetly, picked up the juice bottle with a pacifier, made a toast gesture to Lou Ai, and then took a big gulp.
  
Uninvolved in worldly affairs and full of vitality, this smile really makes people happy.
  
Unfortunately, when the end of the world comes, even the children’s smiles will be taken away.

Lou Ai couldn't help but smile: "Boss, just bring it to my table when you're done. I have something to do outside and will be back soon."
  
"Okay, come back quickly, your fish has been washed and cooked." The boss shouted at the top of his voice.
  
"Okay." After saying that, Lou Ai went out and turned into the residential building next to her place.
  
There is a small Internet cafe between two residential buildings. It is short and shabby, and the customers are all primary school students from the elementary school opposite. Therefore, no ID card is required to enter. Lou Ai put on the hood of her thick down jacket, paid the fee for an hour, and found a computer in the corner to turn it on.
  
She wrote an article about the coming of the apocalypse, which detailed the zombies' fatal injuries, various tricks to regulate and prevent cheating, and the cities most likely to establish safe zones.
  
After writing, she logged into various major forums and Weibo. Of course, the account was not registered under her name, but an account she bought from the forum. She spent several hundred dollars on it, and asked the elementary school student next to her to help pay attention and spread the post. She gave the student cash.
  
She published the article smoothly, changed her account, and set the article to be published on a scheduled basis. In the days before the end of the world, she ensured that there would be fresh articles published every day.

In this way, the police should not be able to find her for the time being, and by the time they find her, the end of the world will have already arrived.

She hopes this article can serve as a warning to more people.

Lou Ai breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the grilled fish restaurant.
  
Her grilled fish was already served, bubbling with steam.

After dinner, Lou Ai made a reservation at a holiday villa farmhouse in the suburbs.
  
This villa was one of the three she had selected in advance, so she went to take a look at the environment first.
  
Lou Ai carefully compared several villas for rent and chose a villa hotel called Liaoyi.
  
This family has a villa located in the corner of the villa complex, which is quite far away from the surrounding villas and can be rented on a daily basis. Fortunately, there is a tourist attraction here and it is the off-season, otherwise she would have no place to rent such a villa.

She thought about it. This was in a suburban scenic area with excellent security measures. It was the off-season for tourism and the population density was low. She had just inquired and found that besides her, the only other tenant was the villa just after entering the community.
  
This place is much safer than the community where she lives.
  
At the end of the world in the previous life, she heard that not many people escaped from the community. Fortunately, she worked in a milk tea shop and did not go home, so she escaped.
  
Lou Ai rented the room for seven days, and thanks to the off-season discount, she only spent more than 5,000 yuan.

After renting the car, she drove to the wholesale market.

She went to several stalls and bought more than ten boxes of instant noodles, more than ten boxes of compressed biscuits, thirty boxes of chocolate, various milk candies, canned meats, canned fruits, and a variety of vegetable seeds.
  
The winter was particularly long at the beginning of the apocalypse, so she went to a sports store and bought several warm fleece jackets, and ordered non-fleece jackets online. She also bought a few more pairs of sneakers that fit her feet.

After spending all the remaining money, she transported the purchased supplies to the villa and filled the buckets with water.
  
She was not too worried about water. After the first purple moon of the apocalypse, she awakened water-related abilities.
  
Five days before the end of the world, she traded various precious diamond necklaces from the Qin Dynasty and earned 50,000 yuan.
  
She used 30,000 yuan of the 50,000 yuan to modify the car, and used the remaining 20,000 yuan to customize a suitable weapon at the weapons museum.
  
Four days before the end of the world, she traded Lou Qiangguo's watch and raised 30,000 yuan.
  
The money was used to purchase various solar flashlights, solar power banks and useful medicines.
  
On the third day, all of Lou Jun's shoes were sold, but they were only sold for 11,000 yuan.
  
She used the money to collect some tents, raincoats and other things that could be used for survival in the wild.
  
On the second day, Lou Ai summarized the day's express delivery.
  
Until the day the purple moon arrived, she got the weapon, drove the car back, printed out maps of various places in Province S, downloaded relevant knowledge on planting, and lists of various scientific researchers.
  
It is worth mentioning that on this day, Qin Shi somehow found out about her selling things and called to scold her. After Lou Ai hung up, she put her on the blacklist. During this period, there were several calls from Lou Qiangguo and even calls from so-called relatives, but Lou Ai ignored all of them.
  
The number of messages on the WeChat list increased to ninety-nine. When Lou Ai saw the various curses that Lou Jun sent on behalf of his mother, she raised her eyebrows and sent a WeChat message saying, "Not only that, I also sold your sneakers." After that, she deleted Lou Jun's WeChat.

She hopes they don’t come back just for a few necklaces, and come back at this time.
  
Tsk, then she wouldn’t be able to see the miserable appearance of this family trying to survive in the apocalypse.
  
Lou Ai shook her head and took a look at the class WeChat group.

The high school WeChat group is very lively.

—Have you watched TV? The best place to observe the Gamma-Normid meteor shower is right here.
  
—I knew it a long time ago. My girlfriend and I have already planned to go camping tonight.
  
—F#ck, when did you find a girlfriend?

Lou Ai flipped through the chat history, found the doomsday Weibo post she had just sent out today, and forwarded it to the group, saying, "Remember to protect your girlfriend."
  
—Lou Ai, we have no grudges against each other, what do you mean?

"Remind you to be careful."

—Are we going to run into zombies when we go out tonight?
  
"You also think you can encounter zombies?"
  
—Bah, of course you won’t come across them. There are so many rumor posts like this every day. Anyone who believes them is an idiot.
  
"Believe it or not, if you really encounter a zombie, remember to hit the head. The eyes are the most vulnerable part of the zombie. In addition, zombies have a very good sense of smell. Applying chili oil, stinky tofu, and fermented bean curd can delay them for a while. Sanitary napkins with blood can also deceive the zombies for a short time."
  
-Neuropathy!
  
"Who are you scolding?"

Lou Ai felt refreshed. She put down her phone and picked up the gun beside the bed.

This was the weapon she had ordered at the weapons shop. There were no weapons at the end of her previous life, and the most convenient things to use were steel pipes and sticks. So when customizing the weapon, she did not look at machetes, bows and arrows, etc. She directly ordered a □□ from the shop. The gun head was made of alloy and the gun body was made of thick wood.
  
After you have mastered your supernatural powers, there will be fewer places where you can use them.
  
Lou Ai walked into the courtyard and practiced shooting for a while until beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

In the last moments, she went out and bought more than ten bottles of insecticide, and a few boxes of mosquito coils, mosquito repellent, and floral water. Finally, she drove to a restaurant that she particularly liked before the end of the world and ordered a beggar's chicken.
  
An hour before the Purple Moon, Lou Ai sprayed insecticide inside and outside the villa.
  
Time passed by bit by bit, the sky outside had darkened, and silence engulfed the entire space. Even the singing of birds outside disappeared, it was terrifyingly quiet.
  
After a few brief shooting stars, the bright moon in the sky gradually turned into a strange purple color.
  
Until the purple color became deeper and deeper, blocking out the moon's light.
  
Lou Ai stood on the balcony on the second floor, looked up and slowly gazed at the birth of the purple moon.
  
She clutched the small necklace on her chest, which contained a photo of her mother.

After the first purple moon, people from all over the world fell into a deep sleep.

When they woke up again, one-third of the world's human beings had turned into zombies, one-tenth of the human beings had superpowers, and the world had become a hell of blood and flesh.

The end of the world will eventually come again.
