12: Chapter 12 Building Manager
Ye Qingqing still wore a look of grievance on her face. "Big brother, can I go in and pack my things? It won't take long."
Hearing this, the manager had no reason to disagree and opened the main door wide for Ye Qingqing to enter.
Wang Yanli, who was being held to the side, felt disgruntled. "You little bitch, get out! That's my house!"
"It's my house!"
As Ye Qingqing walked into the house, a faint, imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. Death was at their doorstep, yet they were still acting up here.
Ye Qingqing walked into the Villa and looked at the familiar layout. Her heart was filled with memories of her mother. After all, she had lived in this house for twenty-four years, and she still had feelings for it.
This would likely be the last time Ye Qingqing saw this house, so she couldn't help but look around a bit more.
After entering her room, she stored all her belongings into her Space. Since her room was in the Attic—the smallest room in the entire Villa—no one had touched her things yet.
After all, the people the manager brought along wouldn't have thought that anyone would still be living in the Attic; it was generally used for storing junk.
Because of this, Ye Qingqing was able to completely pack her things into her Space. When she finally walked out the door, she carried a suitcase just for show.
As she walked out of the Villa's main gate, Ye Qingqing glanced at the manager. "Thanks, big brother. You should head back early after finishing up here. The Typhoon is coming."
Ye Shanhai and the others, who were still being restrained, were still cursing at Ye Qingqing's retreating back. By now, many onlookers had gathered around the Villa to watch the spectacle.
"Oh my, this family is finally getting what they deserve. They had it coming!"
"It's hilarious. I know that man; he cheated, lived in his wife's house, and then brought back his mistress and a son who's not much younger than his daughter. He literally drove his wife to death with anger. What a classic case of a cuckoo occupying another's nest."
"Yeah, that daughter lived such a pathetic life too. I heard she was treated worse than a maid."
"Shh, lower your voice. The girl is coming out."
Listening to the chatter around her, Ye Qingqing's heart remained calm. After all, what they said was the truth. She was actually quite looking forward to where Ye Shanhai and the others would go once the Typhoon arrived.
As Ye Qingqing got into her car, she saw the manager already having someone change the locks on the Villa's main gate. With a slight curl of her lips, she drove straight to the Warehouse to collect the last batch of supplies.
Next, it was time to officially wait for the Typhoon to arrive.
Wang Hai stood at the Warehouse entrance like a 'husband-awaiting stone,' waiting for Ye Qingqing to arrive quickly. The wind was picking up around them, and the sky was turning dark and heavy.
Ye Qingqing paid Wang Hai the final installment and looked at him. "Did you buy all the food?"
Wang Hai looked at Ye Qingqing and nodded. "I-I bought it."
Ye Qingqing patted Wang Hai on the shoulder. "Thanks for the hard work. Go home quickly; the Typhoon is about to hit."
After receiving the money, Wang Hai dashed off. It seemed he also wanted to get home early. After all, the sky looked extremely strange, with a heavy feeling of an impending storm.
Once she saw Wang Hai leave, Ye Qingqing immediately stored everything in the Warehouse into her Space.
When the Space couldn't hold any more, she waited for it to upgrade again before finally storing the remaining supplies.
Ye Qingqing discovered that the time in the Space could accumulate. There were 2 minutes left yesterday, and another 30 minutes were added today. Now, the time she could stay in the Space had become 50 minutes.
Having this Space was undoubtedly an extra layer of protection in the Post-Apocalyptic World. Moreover, the Space had water and electricity, and she could hide inside at critical moments. The only drawback was that the passage of time was extremely fast when she brought Ah Huang inside.
If she accumulated enough time, bringing Ah Huang inside could also save their lives at a critical moment.
By the time Ye Qingqing returned to her Penthouse with Ah Huang, the wind outside had just started to pick up, accompanied by rain.
As she stepped into the elevator, she happened to run into a man. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Ye Qingqing with a scrutinizing gaze.
"You're the new resident on the 32nd Floor, right? You rented two units at once and even modified the doors and glass."
Looking at the man, alarm bells rang in Ye Qingqing's head. The Post-Apocalyptic World was about to begin, and with him asking such questions now, she couldn't help but feel a bit defensive.
Because these things were vital for survival in the Post-Apocalyptic World.
Seeing that Ye Qingqing didn't speak, the man said with a hint of a smile in his voice, "I don't mean anything by it. I'm the Building Leader for this building. You haven't joined the Building Chat Group yet, have you? I'll add you."
Originally, Ye Qingqing didn't want to join, but then she thought that if she didn't, she wouldn't know if there was any news. So, she joined anyway.
The Building Leader got off when they reached the 9th Floor. Ye Qingqing looked at the button for the 32nd Floor she had pressed and fell into thought. It seemed she needed to reinforce the entrance to the 32nd Floor even more to prevent any riff-raff from getting ideas after the end of the world.
Ye Qingqing was staying in the leftmost unit. For the time being, she didn't want to bother with the middle unit.
The first thing she did upon entering the room was to close all the doors and windows tightly. Then, she took out an Air Purifier to ventilate the room.
The unit was empty; many things still needed to be set up. She was a bit tired tonight, so she only furnished the bedroom.
She laid down a carpet and put in a bed.
The bathroom in the room also had nothing, so Ye Qingqing entered the Space, took a quick shower in the Space's bathroom, and then came out.
After all, the time in the Space was a lifesaver at critical moments, so she didn't want to waste it. However, today could be considered a test.
The results surprised her because the bathroom in the Space was exactly like a normal one.
No, it should be said that the bathroom in the Space was even better than a normal one. With the second expansion of the Space, the bathroom now included a Massage Tub and a Smart Toilet.
When Ye Qingqing saw this setup, she couldn't help but gasp. The Space actually had this function!
But right now, she didn't have time to enjoy the Massage Tub. Time was tight and her tasks were heavy. She hadn't had a good rest for several days, so she wanted to quickly finish washing up and return to her room for a good sleep.
However, even though she hurried, it still took one minute. When she exited the Space and saw the "45 minutes" floating above it, she felt a bit of a sting in her heart. Another 10 minutes gone...
