Chapter 27: Neighbors

Yao Ran didn't like the way this middle-aged woman looked at her. It seemed that she was trying to determine Yao Ran's worth.

Seeing that Yao Ran did not answer her question, the middle-aged woman snorted and muttered in a low voice, "Young people nowadays are really lacking in manners."

The other people in the elevator rolled their eyes when they heard her words. Yao Ran calmly observed them, and her brows slightly raised when she saw their reactions. It seemed that she should stay away from this noisy middle-aged woman in the future.

A few minutes later, Yao Ran walked out of the elevator. As she passed the door of unit 2001, it suddenly opened from the inside. Yao Ran and that person paused at the same time.

The woman, who was in her early thirties, smiled apologetically at Yao Ran and said, "Hello, are you the new owner of unit 2003?"

Yao Ran nodded to her, "Yes. I just moved in yesterday."

The woman smiled and said, "My name is Zhou Ruilin. Nice to meet you, Miss."

Yao Ran nodded, "Nice to meet you."

Seeing that she was carrying a lot of things, Zhou Ruilin stepped aside. Yao Ran thanked her and then walked away. Opening the door, Yao Ran turned to look at Zhou Ruilin and saw her entering the elevator carrying a garbage bag.

Yao Ran's first impression of Zhou Ruilin was not bad. However, she has a secret in her heart and cannot let her guard down.

Besides, a person can know someone for years and still not see their heart. She learned this lesson after paying a heavy price in her previous life.

After locking the door, Yao Ran put away the things she had bought and went to take a shower. Ten minutes later, she came out feeling refreshed.

She looked out from the window and saw that the rain had stopped. However, the sky was still covered with dark clouds. Yao Ran sat on the carpeted floor in the living room and dried her hair with a towel.

After her hair was half dry, she put away the towel and took out the laptop and mobile phone she bought from the electronic store. After connecting all mobile phones and laptops to Wi- Fi, Yao Ran began to search for and download videos and e-books.

After adding hundreds of videos to the download list, Yao Ran took out a bowl of spicy beef noodles. While she ate dinner, she browsed the Internet to read news and forums.

Among the countless news and rumors from the entertainment industry, Yao Ran's eyes stopped on a post that did not attract much attention.

[Is this a sign of the end of the world?]

When she saw the title, she clicked on it without hesitation. Yao Ran read the post and found that this netizen had collected a lot of news, articles, and scientific reports. Because she was so focused on reading the article, she even forgot to move her chopsticks.

Yao Ran continued reading and found that most of the people who commented did not believe this article and said that the poster was spreading fake news for popularity. Out of thousands of comments, only a handful believed the article.

By the time Yao Ran finished reading the article, her noodles were already soggy and cold. Realizing that she had spent two hours browsing the internet, she quickly finished her cold noodles and continued to add more videos to the download list.

Within hours, she had downloaded thousands of videos. Stretching her sore body, Yao Ran stood up and went to change clothes.

Yao Ran wore a shirt, a black hoodie, short pants, and a raincoat. She also put on a mask to cover her face and then pulled down the hoodie. In the middle of the night, she took her car keys and left the apartment.

There are several water reservoirs around Juncheng City. One of them is located fifty kilometers away from the Ling Yuan apartment complex. Tonight, Yao Ran plans to visit this water reservoir and fill up the water towers, storage tanks, gallons, and buckets.

Due to heavy rain, it took her longer to reach the water reservoir. There was no one around, so Yao Ran parked the small truck near the reservoir. She came down and walked towards the lake.

Since she uses her mental power to put things into or take things out of her space, Yao Ran wanted to see if she could put water directly into those empty containers.

She dipped her left hand into the water and concentrated. She tried to move the water into her space and poured it directly into a water tower. The next second, a stream of water appeared in the air inside the space and flowed into the water tower.

Seeing this scene, Yao Ran's eyes lit up, and she became excited. Not having to use a water pump to fill these water containers greatly reduces the risk of exposure.

As long as she concentrates her mind, she can transport a large amount of water into the space every second. Because how much water moves into the space depends entirely on her wishes, it would also save her a lot of time.

Drenched by the heavy rain, Yao Ran kept filling up the water tower one after another. When she was forced to stop because of a headache, the rain had turned into a drizzle, and the sky gradually changed color.

Yao Ran withdrew her hand from the water and rubbed her forehead. When she felt her headache subsided, she quickly drove back to the Ling Yuan apartment complex. Returning home, she took a hot bath and went to sleep.

A few hours later, she woke up. Yao Ran rubbed her eyes, took her phone from the bedside table, and checked the time. Seeing that it was already nine o'clock in the morning, she got up and went to wash up.

Since it was not raining, she decided to eat outside and leave the apartment. When she came out, she saw two workers installing three heavy metal doors in Unit 2002.
