The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

Chapter 6-10

The doorway became an enclosed space due to Luo Xun's home renovation. In order to enter the living room one had to go through an additional door. This was a safety precaution, in the event someone opens the door after the apocalypse they would not see the entire house at a glance.

At this moment he was sitting in the entranceway putting on shoes when a chorus of whimpers echoed from the living room.

"You! Acting so pitiful." Luo Xun exasperatedly strode back into the house and lifted the puppy by her scruff.

"You want to go outside with me?"

The puppy panted with her small tongue lolled out and brush-like tail wagging back and forth.

"Why?! It's so cold outside! Honestly, just stay home and behave."

The puppy's tail continued to wag. Luo Xun bent over and put the puppy back in her cage.

"Wooo...." The pitiful voice resurfaced and the tail drooped.

Luo Xun soothingly patted the puppy's head. "I'll be back later and bring something good. So behave at home, don't make too much noise."

If the weather permitted, he may spoil the puppy and hold it outside. The puppy was too young and the weather was too cold. The dog was rather smart, no matter what Luo Xun would not let her so she quietly laid on the mat looking with big soulful eyes.

Luo Xun sighed and felt he brought big trouble back. Even if the puppy did not mutate, how would he walk the dog when grown the zombies everywhere! He changed his shoes, locked the door and headed to the elevator with a sigh. A notice was posted on the first floor near the the elevator.

Printed above, 'On December 10 the property offices open the doors. Hydro, electricity and gas may be subject to change before and after the New Year's Day to be notified otherwise. The building had not yet been completely set up. Water and electricity timetables were temporary – one did not have to pay every month. The utility companies would come and collect fees after everything was finalized.

Luo Xun read the notice again, shaking his head as he walked out – he can save some of his money... However since the district was not yet completed, there were occasional temporary water shortages. He needed to reserve two days worth of water.

He drove home in his used car after the last shopping trip. In the past few days he had visited the farmer's market and purchased vacuum sealed rice, flour, oil and other grains in bulk. After he drove to all the southwestern area pharmacies.

It was inconvenient to buy medicine online, especially those with specific prerequisites. Luo Xun could buy first supplies online but for the others like anti-inflammatories and cold medicine he had to visit a pharmacy.

Each time he entered a pharmacy he only bought one or two boxes due to the limitations. However there are dozens of pharmacies, small and large in the area. How many could he hit? Thus Luo Xun spent the last sum of money on multi-purpose but hard to access drugs, along with some more common drugs and rice.

Using this method, Luo Xun could quietly amass a lot of medicine, the city is big enough for that. If he had enough money he could have gone through the entire city instead. He stacked and organized everything into the house. The puppy sniffed around and perked up, owner had come home early! Luo Xun had become more cautious when returning home since the puppy had attempted to run out the door.

"Don't run around! You could fall off the railing!"

Luo Xun huffed as he dropped the last bag of soil on the ground. His head hurt as he saw the filled living room. So many things, when would he have the time to organize it all? An unorganized room would never be clean!
