Chapter 3: Hopelessly Romantic
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.
