Wasteland Survivalist: A Scientific Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Survival
Chapter 7 Renting a House
After having a good meal, Gu Lang boarded the subway.
Along the way, he opened several mainstream social media apps.
I checked the local trending topics and searched for a few more keywords.
No information was found related to last night's incident.
Because Gu Lang's report was false, the woman was immediately taken into custody.
Naturally, there's no time to write short essays by hand.
His other accomplices, who may have existed, have probably given up on stirring up trouble online after his shady tactics.
Gu Lang mentally reviewed the incident.
I started thinking of writing some "70s quotes" on my hat.
If something like this happens again, just put it on your head.
You can immediately give yourself a buff that prevents you from being selected by short videos.
In today's China, gender antagonism is severe.
Many self-media outlets rely on such controversial topics to attract traffic.
They will also deliberately create conflicts to attract attention.
This causes similar incidents to occur every now and then.
It's clear that fighting in underground boxing matches is really lucrative.
Even if the hype fails, there will be virtually no loss.
They can also get dog food from foreign NGOs (non-governmental organizations).
It's a sure-fire way to make money.
Of course, the premise is that you don't run into a tough opponent like yourself.
After scrolling through his phone for over an hour, Gu Lang finally emerged from the terminal station.
He skillfully made his way into the vegetable wholesale market and continued to open his "treasure chest".
After searching diligently for a while, they quickly reaped a rich harvest.
This drew some criticism from several older men present.
The amount of vegetables and fruits discarded here every day is staggering, feeding a considerable number of "secondary decomposers".
Carrying a large plastic bag, Gu Lang walked back to his rented room and ate a meal of vegetables and fruits without salad dressing.
He rested until dark, then went out again at the appointed time.
This time, he squatted at the entrance of the Shanmu Member Supermarket.
He laughed and called out "handsome guy" and "big boss" a few times, successfully getting a kind person to take him inside.
He enjoyed the free tasting event to the fullest.
Steak, roast chicken, salmon, mochi, daifuku, cheese buns, milk, coffee, lime juice.
Although the quantity is small each time, the variety is complete.
If he finds something delicious, he'll queue up several times and eat his fill in a short time.
On my way back, I saw a bakery employee moving things in preparation for closing.
He volunteered to help and received two more bags of cake scraps in the process.
This solved the problem of breakfast for the next day.
Back in the rented room, after washing my body and clothes.
Feeling exhausted, he fell asleep contentedly.
In his dream, Gu Lang seemed to have returned to the past.
He was wearing a school uniform and carrying a snakeskin bag, walking through a snowy field.
They trudged across the obstacles, one step at a time.
We crossed the highway and walked through vast farmlands.
After crossing the bridge, we descended the earthen slope.
From day to night, the black numbers on the kilometer markers along the road increased by more than twenty.
He didn't know where he was going; he just didn't want to go back to where he came from...
The next morning, a phone call woke Gu Lang.
Gu Lang picked up his phone with dissatisfaction; the time was 8:30 a.m.
"Hello, Mr. Gu. Regarding your complaint about smoking at the police station, here is our feedback."
A few emotionless female voices came through the receiver.
"Okay, I'm listening."
"An investigation has confirmed the allegations. The higher authorities have instructed the head of the public security station to rectify the situation and have issued a warning to the relevant personnel."
"Oh, okay," Gu Lang replied perfunctorily.
"No-smoking signs have now been posted in prominent locations throughout the facility. From now on, not only in the case-handling areas, but in all indoor areas of the facility, smoking will be prohibited, and records will be kept."
"Okay, sure."
Are you satisfied with the outcome? Please reply with: Very satisfied, Satisfied, Somewhat satisfied, or Dissatisfied.
"Very satisfied," Gu Lang replied coldly.
"Okay, thank you for your supervision. Have a nice day, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Lang sighed.
This kind of clichéd approach can only last for a few days at most.
Then, everything will return to normal.
Being scolded by the director is already the best you can hope for.
As for satisfaction surveys, that's even more absurd.
He wouldn't bother with these powerless clerks.
It's questionable whether the person who made this call is even a government employee.
There's no need to deliberately make things difficult for working people.
When Gu Lang woke up, he was a little dazed.
He rubbed his eyes and looked around the room.
He lived in the cheapest self-built house, a one-bedroom apartment on the top floor.
Therefore, the room type is extremely unusual.
It's just scraps left over by the landlord.
The bedroom is trapezoidal, and the toilet is triangular.
There wasn't a single right angle to be found in the room.
However, it has two southeast corners, both of which are acute angles.
When calculating the interior area of a building with a complex shape, two auxiliary lines need to be drawn.
At first glance, the house was practically bare.
The room was almost devoid of furniture and appliances; it was like this when he moved in.
When placing an order on a short-term rental platform, the landlord also noted that the tenants needed to purchase the items themselves.
However, judging from the various signs of habitation on the walls, previous tenants must have left behind some furniture that they couldn't take with them.
Unfortunately, the landlord moved them all away.
I don't know if it was put into a "fully furnished apartment" or sold off.
However, Gu Lang wouldn't let the landlord take advantage of him.
He went to a nearby logistics distribution center and picked up two pallets, put them together, and used them as a bed.
The bedding consisted of outdoor inflatable mats and sleeping bags.
After compressing and packing, it can be stuffed into a backpack.
He also has other items such as tents, water bags, water filters, outdoor wood stoves, and portable cookware sets.
In addition to these common outdoor products, there are also some tools and defensive equipment.
With these things, he could live in the wilderness without any problems.
I rented this place purely to recuperate properly.
He had previously filmed several videos exploring ruins when he was unexpectedly bitten by a short-tailed viper.
I had just returned from a follow-up examination at the hospital after recovering when I was framed.
"I reckon I'll be blacklisted this time, and my lease is about to expire, so I need to hurry up and change the map."
Recalling what happened yesterday, Gu Lang began to think.
Although I received another "Decision Not to Impose Administrative Penalty".
They still maintain a clean criminal record within the national-level public security system.
However, local public security bureaus also have their own independent local systems.
After what happened yesterday, I should be on the "list of people under close surveillance".
Next, his travel, work, and life in the city will become a bit troublesome.
Especially in places where you need to swipe your ID card to enter or exit, you may be marked and questioned no matter where you go.
It will take at least a year for it to be removed.
But it wasn't a big deal for him.
He's a freelance creative professional; he can simply leave and change his environment.
As an online novelist and video blogger.
Gulang has been living a nomadic life for years.
Traveling all over the country, I travel and seek inspiration.
We maintain the freshness of our content creation by constantly acquiring new materials.
Finally, I'll make a little money from the vast number of netizens and GG merchants.
