Chapter 287: The Modified RV Is Truly Awesome
I Farm In The Apocalypse
“Actually, there’s one more feature missing. Mr. Qian has prepared a surprise for you with this feature. With his help, this RV will be even more perfect. I hope you’ll like the gift he’s giving you. Rest assured, we only use the best.”
Da Shi left, and Jing Shu later learned he was a scientist in Boss Su’s group.
Jing Shu thought, “??” Are young people nowadays really this amazing? Scientists and professors are modifying vehicles now? She was curious about what Qian Duoduo would prepare for her. The RV was already perfect—what could it still be missing?
After Da Shi left, Jing Shu started exploring other parts of the RV according to Chu Zhuohua’s manual. “Not great that he didn’t come to explain in person.”
Still, Jing Shu figured it out herself. The German MAN was already a luxury vehicle, and Chu Zhuohua had added many practical and luxurious features.
The driver’s area had new central controls and touch panels. The original passenger seat was removed, and the circular sofa behind it was dismantled to create a passage. Along the passage was a hidden 0.8 x 1.8 m foldable bed, which could be pulled out when needed.
Jing Shu pulled it out, and a small tent popped up, providing plenty of private space, though it blocked the passage. This bed was prepared for Third Aunt Jing.
Behind the driver’s seat was the living room, equipped with a lift table, chairs, and a 32-inch TV. It was now converted into a closed tatami room, about 1.6 x 2 meters, still spacious, right next to the single bed in the passage.
This bedroom was intended for Jing’s grandparents. Third Aunt Jing was nearby, so if the elderly couple had any issues, they could call her easily. There was no room for beds elsewhere.
Jing Shu opened the bedroom door and knocked on the wall, made of light steel for insulation and soundproofing. She took off her shoes and stepped on the soft tatami, which was just the right height—not too low to make standing up difficult. The middle had a liftable storage cabinet. When the elderly couple wasn’t sleeping, they could use it as a sofa to watch TV or listen to Jing Ye’s favorite Beijing opera.
On the right was a hanging cabinet with storage and a foldable table. The space above was originally meant for Wu You’ai’s bed but was changed to a luggage rack. It was good to have more space for clothes and bedding.
This was the front half of the RV. The door divided the RV into two parts. To the right of the door were shoe cabinets, hanging cabinets, and air conditioning controls. Further right was the modified passage and the grandparents’ bedroom. The far right led through the passage to the driver’s seat. The top right corner had a one-person cylindrical elevator to the second floor.
To the left of the door was the kitchen area. The German MAN already had top-tier kitchen appliances: electric ceramic stove, range hood, sink, refrigerator, cabinets, and drawers. Jing Shu added a FOTILE dishwasher and a water purifier with ultrafiltration. Drinking water in the apocalypse was critical—parasites were everywhere!
Speaking of parasites, Jing Shu recently recalled some past events. They seemed related to deep-sea marine life infections after crustal movements. The ocean overlords weren’t much affected due to low temperatures underwater, but when suddenly moved inland, the consequences were predictable…
Jing Shu shook her head. That would happen in a year or two, so worrying now was premature. She needed to prepare for parasites and these creatures.
Back to the RV: the natural gas system connected to the twelve external tanks. Most importantly, it provided 24-hour hot water circulation, ensuring hot water anytime in winter—whether for taps or showers. Even outside the apocalypse, this was a blessing in winter.
To save energy, Jing Shu added floor heating pipes, a water heater, and water lines in the walls. This constant-temperature water system kept the RV warm.
Central air conditioning dried out skin, and Jing Shu’s throat would hurt after use. Floor heating was the best replacement—energy-saving and efficient. Once heated to 40°C, only a little gas was needed to maintain warmth.
She hated the cold nights when it took hours to warm the bed, shivering and unable to sleep. Once in bed, she’d hold it in rather than get up to pee. When she finally ran to the bathroom and returned, the bed was freezing again because she forgot to turn off the light. Jing Shu vowed to overcome these problems.
She envied those who could wear thermal pants and eat ice cream in minus seventy-degree weather inside their RVs.
Gently touching the hot water system, Jing Shu felt she could finally live well this life.
The kitchen, dry-wet separated bathroom, dining area, and the master bedroom for Jing’s parents remained mostly unchanged, all renovated anew by Chu Zhuohua.
She climbed the aluminum alloy automatic stairs with five steps to the second floor, where the biggest changes were.
The original hydraulic rooftop terrace was enclosed into a second floor. The solar panels at the rear were removed and relocated to the second floor’s roof.
The front was Jing Shu’s bedroom.
Behind the bedroom was a living area for family luggage and supplies. Jing Shu managed all the family’s resources now, and everyone was used to it. She felt secure.
Further back was the original RV’s small water tank, which Jing Shu had Chu Zhuohua convert into a deep, tall tank for fish farming, enclosed with tempered glass.
In the middle was Wu You’ai’s much-anticipated space capsule, which Chu Zhuohua had completed. Jing Shu touched the white capsule, feeling its high-tech vibe.
The capsule was advanced—it could lift and lower. Standing and leaning on it, it could slowly flatten horizontally, adjusting height as needed, and transform into a sofa chair.
When closed, it wasn’t cramped—about 1.2 x 2 meters. It had air conditioning and a 20-inch TV inside. There was a recessed perpetual motion cabinet to keep items stable whether vertical or flat.
To the right was a table with the same principle, plus a small fridge and electric kettle—likely added by Chu Zhuohua to encourage Wu You’ai to drink more hot water. Now telling girls to drink more hot water might get you beaten!
Small but complete, the capsule was very safe. With Wu You’ai’s personality, she could lie inside, watch anime, read manga on her phone, and eat nearby—probably happy to stay there forever.
Jing Shu inexplicably liked this space capsule.
