billionaires rushed to buy a million-dollar shelter in the ground

Imagine: You are a millionaire, stop dreaming a little bigger, 1 billionaire, possesses vast wealth. In the context of the current pandemic, which has a negative impact on the population, economy and finance, what will you do and where will you go to shelter to wait for a peaceful day to return? This question may sound like a no-nonsense, but in fact, it has been a serious consideration for billionaires recently.

However, instead of rushing to dredge hand-washing water and toilet paper in large and small supermarkets, they chose a simple but more expensive option: Buy a shelter apartment in the Survival Condos complex, built in nuclear missile tunnels since the Cold War, has now been abandoned. Reportedly, this area has been completely renovated, including many luxurious rooms with full facilities so that we can live as usual during the epidemic avoidance days.

Previously, half of this cellar was destroyed by the government, the remaining area was auctioned off. Most buyers are farmers, and the price they pay is also relatively cheap, much lower than the original value of the tunnel. They use the purchased land for livestock, but they cannot cultivate anything.

Billionaires are flocking to buy apartments at the old nuclear missile vault.

However, everything changed 180 degrees when Larry Hall, the founder of Survival Condos, came here and realized the potential of economic exploitation from this abandoned basement. It used to be a rocket launch place, so it owns many cylindrical rooms with solid concrete walls nearly 3 meters thick. This is probably the best trait to turn it into a true shelter, especially when the world faces horrific disasters like those in science fiction movies.

In 2008, Larry began working with the Kansas City government to find a bunker that could turn into a place where people could live. This process lasted for 2 years, until 2010, when finding a suitable basement, Larry continued to pump nearly 5 million liters of rainwater to wash away dirt, dregs. Later, he began designing and building modern tubular apartments, with plentiful power supply systems and high quality air filters used in the US military. In addition, Harry also equipped with more food sources, clean water enough to use for 5 consecutive years.

Harry said: ' The purpose of Survival Condos is to protect people from a wide range of disasters, from viruses, chemical weapons to natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, falling meteors or surface radiation. heaven '. And Harry has achieved his goal. In the context of the complicated Covid-19 epidemic, many high-income people have come to Survival Condos to take refuge.

The apartments in the ground are fully furnished to meet the needs of people.

Currently, personal hygiene items such as antibacterial hand sanitizer, masks and toilet paper are in extremely scarce condition. Many stores in the US have experienced a dramatic increase in sales over the past few weeks thanks to these products. For example, My Patriot Supplies even has to post a notice on the official website: ' The demand for food reserves has increased 100 times more than usual. Therefore, the delivery process will certainly be delayed for at least 8 weeks or longer. Please perform the full check-out procedure to register a purchase now . '

The Altas Survival Shlter is in a similar position when demand is greater than supply, especially for food items. Chairman Ron Hubbard had to say in person: ' All our goods are out of stock. We have nothing to sell, and the warehouse is empty. ' In addition, the company's 'shelter' is also very popular, with the lowest price of about $ 36,000, built and installed right in the customer's backyard.

Billionaires are naturally impatient at Covid-19's development, but instead of stockpiling goods, they chose Survival Condos. Each 900-square-meter and 3,600-square-meter apartment here costs US $ 1.5 million and US $ 4.5 million, respectively. If paying a higher price, customers can expand their apartment area.

As mentioned above, the apartments here are fully equipped with modern appliances, a kitchen, a high-class toilet, and even a 'virtual window' system - essentially screens. Replay scenes in the outside world in real time. In addition, customers also enjoy many facilities such as gym, swimming pool, cinema, shooting range, dog walking area, garbage disposal, classroom and even aquaculture area.

The price of each apartment here ranges from 1.5 million - 4.5 million and may be higher depending on customer needs.

Larry Hall shared that in the past, Survival Condos' sales were very slow, while those who were interested did not have enough money. The rich do not pay much attention to the prospect of refuge when disaster strikes. However, when Covid-19 arrived, this situation completely changed. Some customers even decide to order immediately 4 days after referencing online, no need to check directly.

Sales increased, Larry even nearly sold the 2nd Survival Condo area at a secret location in Kansas. It is known that the area is up to 150,000 square meters, larger than the first area and promises to bring a fuller experience. Larry said: ' There have never been so many customers coming to us in such a short time. The number of guests booking a house to see a record high. This is something that has never happened before and I can feel the pressure of the customers 'demands to hit my nape .'

Looks like this, who thought this was an underground shelter reclaimed from an abandoned rocket cellar.

However, experts say this is not a viable option in the present time. Douglas Rushkoff, author and co-host of Team Human, said that people need to interact, collaborate with each other, with the community, with society and strive for the common good: ' I think that everyone Isolating yourself by going to a shelter like this doesn't have any positive effect. Hopefully after a while, they will realize the most practical solution is to unite together to face the disaster, not everyone's worries . '

For those who avoid the disease and have spent millions of dollars on the Survival Condos apartment, Douglas's arguments are almost unconvincing. Real estate expert Tyler Allen, co-owner of Survival Condos, said: ' You need to understand asylum different from total social alienation. This is a place for you and your family to live together to wait for the hard times to pass. Then you can return to integrate with your community once the situation is safe. Humor in the beginning, a lot of people mocked our ideas, thinking we were crazy. But now they are coming to us with a very serious and serious attitude . '
