Apocalyptic Natural Disasters: I Have a Capsule House

On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...

Chapter 173 Officials build a base in Lanshan

After the people on the 20th floor left, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao's life returned to normal. Every day, apart from going to Qin Xiu's house to exercise, they would grow vegetables and drink tea in the villa yard. Their life was quite comfortable.

What Meng Yi said last time about the government building a shelter in Lanshan soon came to fruition.

The official statement was that a base was to be built, but the government did not specify what base it was. The government also had its own concerns. If the earthquake information was released early, it might cause panic among the people.

Mr. Du even came to see Su Keke for this matter. He was afraid that after the official base was built, it would be a big safety hazard to the villa area.

Because the official base is located not far from the villa area, the two places are less than 2 kilometers apart, and people in the villa area have to pass through the gate of the official base when entering and exiting.

The villa area is large but has few residents, and the people who live here are all people with certain material conditions.

If those people living in the base become unbalanced and want to seize the place, they will be in danger, as their numbers will not be an advantage at all!

Su Keke felt that the old man’s worries were not unreasonable, but since the government decided to build this base, it must have been a well-considered decision.

They will definitely pay attention to the aspect of safety management. Su Keke knows the mayor Chen Guodong. This man is a practical man and does not have the airs of a leader. Su Keke even got two satellite phones from him!

So Su Keke told Mr. Du not to worry for the time being and to wait until the official base was built.

The villa area can then strengthen patrols and actively cooperate with the official patrol team. With joint efforts from both sides, I believe those with ulterior motives will not dare to confront them head-on.

Mr. Du went back half-believing and half-doubting. At the moment he really had no choice. Who dared to say no if the government wanted to build a base here?

Not to mention building it next to the house, even if he wanted to build it inside the villa area, Du Huairen would have to politely give up the land.

A few days later, the first group of people participating in the construction had arrived at the foot of Mount Arashiyama one after another.

The authorities assigned several managers from various departments to be responsible for the construction of the base, and the person in charge was actually Li Zheng, director of the Human Resources Department of the Municipal Office.

Li Zheng and Du Huairen have some friendship. They are of similar age, one is a politician and the other is a businessman in Lingcheng, and they often meet at some charity events.

Chen Da also signed up to join the first construction team. The official benefits included three meals a day and 20 points per day.

After Chen Da calculated, he found that his monthly salary was 100 yuan higher than Lu Mei's at the farm.

However, the work they do here is definitely more tiring than that in the farm, and they do not go home every night, but live directly in military tents at the foot of the mountain.

Su Keke knew that the government would need a lot of construction materials to build the base, and she happened to have stockpiled a lot of them during the flood.

Now she wants to take it to the official redemption points to exchange for points. Although Su Keke doesn't use points herself on a daily basis, it is still useful to have more points on hand.

For example, if this official base is built, you need points to rent a house! If the people on the 20th floor don’t have enough points, you can still help them.

There are so many construction materials in Su Keke Space. If you want to transport them across a clear road, you will definitely need a large truck.

She doesn’t have a big truck now. At this time, Su Keke thought of Suning, the material purchaser who gave her a business card. He should have a big truck, right?

So Su Keke did what she said and called the official exchange point directly using a satellite phone and said she was looking for Suning. Unexpectedly, she actually found it.

"Hello! Who is looking for me?" A cheerful male voice came from the receiver.

When Su Keke stated that she had a batch of construction materials that needed to be exchanged, the other party became obviously interested, and even the tone of his voice became particularly attentive.

After the two communicated with each other, Suning couldn't wait to arrange a large truck for transportation.

There happened to be a truck at Arashiyama, and he could bring the points over to exchange for them, and then the materials would be directly transported to the Arashiyama base.

Su Keke didn't expect the discussion here to go so smoothly. After she told Grandma Qiao about this, she went into the space and took out all the wood, flooring, security doors, floor tiles, composite materials, insulation materials, etc. that had been stored in the space and placed them at the door of the villa.

In a short while, various construction materials at the gate of Villa No. 5 were piled up into a small hill. This was the amount that Su Keke roughly calculated would fill a truck.

Just after finishing all these things, Su Keke was sitting in the yard drinking tea and chatting with Grandma Qiao while waiting for Suning to come over, and she felt that she might have been a little careless.

This truckload of stuff came out of nowhere. If I suddenly shipped out such a truckload of materials, would the Du family be suspicious?

Su Keke told Grandma Qiao about her concerns. Grandma Qiao was calm. She said, "Grandpa Du is a smart man. He sees through many things but doesn't say them out loud. As long as the Du family doesn't have any inappropriate thoughts, they don't have to worry."

"Grandma Qiao, I feel relieved after hearing what you said! This truckload of materials should be worth tens of thousands of points at least!"

Su Keke smiled and looked towards the courtyard gate, and just happened to see the Du family's patrol car passing by the gate. After a while, the car turned around and drove back.

"It's over! Trouble is coming!" Su Keke stood up from the chair and ran out to the yard.

"Hello, Miss Su! Are these materials yours?"

The security guard asked politely.

Bai Wei's previous incident at the gate of the villa earned Su Keke a lot of popularity. Many people saw how Su Keke responded to Mrs. Du in a domineering manner. She was really beautiful and cool, and she would drive a car to hit someone if they didn't agree. Her main character was never to be bullied.

"Yes! Don't worry, I will send a truck to take it away later. We won't occupy public roads." Su Keke explained to them with a smile.

"Okay! If you need us to help clean up, you can let us know in advance."

The two security guards simply asked a few simple questions and then drove away in their patrol car.

Su Keke was a little confused. Didn’t they ask where so many building materials came from?

In fact, the two security guards were very curious. They often stood guard at the door and had never seen when so many construction materials were transported into Villa No. 5.

Miss Su drives an off-road vehicle in and out every day. Could it be that Miss Su transported so many materials bit by bit in the off-road vehicle?

It's impossible to think about it. Many materials are long and heavy, and they can't be put into the trunk of an SUV.

However, they understand that they should not ask too much about many things that should not be asked. Mr. Du also explained that as long as Miss Su's affairs do not affect the safety of the villa area and the Du family, they can be relaxed appropriately.

If these materials in Villa No. 5 can be transported away in time and do not hinder the travel of residents in other small areas, they will naturally not interfere.
