Lei Xing was really anxious.

But he couldn't find a chance to give a gift, as Xingshi followed him closely.

He wanted to have a few private words with Su Tao after giving her the gift, and didn't want any irrelevant people to be present.

Su Tao didn't notice his anxiety at all. She was thinking about where to stay. She was not familiar with the new place and had no idea where to go for the time being.

Shi Zijin made a phone call and solved it: "It's arranged. We'll go to live in the northern part of the city. Let's drive the car to a nearby garage and park it. RVs are not allowed to be parked in the city."

Su Tao quickly got into the car with him and asked him curiously, "You seem to be very familiar with Xindu?"

Shi Zijin glanced at the completely forgotten Lei Xing under the car without any expression, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"I've been here a few times. Let's go."

When the car was about to start, Su Tao remembered Lei Xing and opened the car window to ask them:

"Do you have a place to stay?"

Can Lei Xing say no?!

Doesn't that mean he's not as capable as Shi Zijin?

He waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this. If you feel uncomfortable living here, you can come to me anytime."

Shi Zijin said: "That's not necessary, Captain Lei can rest assured."

Lei Xing smiled with a fake smile, and did not respond to his words. Instead, he said to Su Tao:

"Are you free tomorrow? I have something important for you."

Su Tao doesn't have anything to do tomorrow.

The alliance summit will start in three days, and she plans to have a good time in Xindu during these two days.

But she didn't want to go to Lei Xing's appointment, so she asked, "What is it? Why don't you give it to me now?"

She didn't even think about the gift.

Lei Xing was firm: "No, now is not the time."

Su Tao wondered what was so important that they had to choose a time to give it to her.

In the end, she couldn't persuade Lei Xing, so she agreed reluctantly.

After Bao Tu left, Su Tao went to see Shi Zijin's expression.

Shi Zijin remained expressionless: "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Su Tao had no choice but to nod, as there were some things she had to explain to Lei Xing.

The construction of Xindu North City is indeed better. Although it is not as exquisite and beautiful as Taoyang, it has wider roads and better order.

The large-scale infrastructure was also complete. She even saw a building that was estimated to be 20 stories high. From a distance, she could see well-dressed staff coming and going inside.

This scene looks very much like the office buildings of white-collar workers in the city center before the apocalypse.

The building looks a bit old, probably it was built some time ago.

But it also reflects the strength of Xindu. Building this building is not as easy as Su Tao staying up all night.

Especially in the end times, the human, material and financial resources required are enormous.

Su Tao looked at the building for a long time and decided to build one for Taoyang and Dongyang in the future, no, two!

Her RV was parked in a large parking lot. When she drove in, many people looked sideways. After all, even before the end of the world, such luxurious RVs were rare.

Shi Zijin found a large piece of sunshade cloth from nowhere and covered the RV with it, explaining:

"It's too conspicuous, so no one will watch."

Su Tao gave him a thumbs up.

Finally, she squeezed into a car with Qian Lin and others and went to the place where Shi Zijin had found for him to stay.

Su Tao thought it was just an ordinary guesthouse or hotel, but she didn't expect it to be an old apartment building.

The surrounding environment is quite good. There is a convenience store and parking lot downstairs. The most important thing is that the conference venue is only a ten-minute drive away.

Shi Zijin handed a card to the front desk.

The receptionist scanned the room and said enthusiastically, "Major General Shi, you and your teammates can enter the room by simply swiping the communicator. Also, here is the room card for the room you just booked."

Su Tao took the room card and asked him quietly:

"How much is the room fee?"

"free."

Su Tao: “???”

Shi Zijin just smiled and said:

"Someone in Xindu wants to poach me, so I have to be sincere. Just stay here peacefully."

really!

No wonder the attitude is so good.

Su Tao took her room card and went upstairs.

She was curious about what the apartment buildings in Xindu were like.

When she opened the door, she realized that this apartment was equivalent to a three-bedroom, one-living-room house. She lived with the Qian family's mother and daughter, each with a bedroom, and a shared bathroom and living room.

This is the same model as sharing a house or renting in a group.

Although the furniture in the entire house is usable, it is a bit old and does not match the overall decoration.

It was very stuffy inside, and when I opened the window, the heat wave hit me, making it even hotter.

There is only one air conditioner in the whole house, which is located in the living room.

Su Tao tried to open it, but found there was a meter.

She took a closer look and saw that she had to pay 200 federal coins per hour!

Accustomed to the low electricity prices in Taoyang, Su Tao and the Qian family's mother and daughter all took a deep breath.

Robbing money.

Qian Rongrong immediately moved three meters away from the air conditioner remote control and looked at the air conditioner as if she were looking at a robber.

Su Tao took out iced drinks to cool them down.

She also opened a bottle of Gululu and drank half of it, then decided to turn on the air conditioner. She didn't need the money and really didn't want to let herself down.

After all, she will stay in Xindu for at least half a month.

Several people went to clean up their rooms, and Heizhima also began to patrol the new territory.

The little crow Lingyu was looking out the window sadly in the cage.

Xue Dao was still sticking out his tongue to cool himself down, and he was so hot that he had no appetite for dog food.

There was only a single bed in Su Tao's room, and the white sheets on it were a little yellowed. She directly replaced it with a double bed in the system, which was covered with a soft and brand new four-piece set.

The wardrobe was also replaced with a wooden wardrobe from the system, which was just big enough to hold the various daily necessities and clothes she brought.

In order to live comfortably, she replaced all the furniture in the living room, laid soft carpets on the floor, and hung sun-blocking goose yellow curtains.

The only pity is that there is no socket in the house. It is probably to prevent tenants from stealing electricity, otherwise she would have to install a refrigerator.

Since a refrigerator could not be arranged, she placed a storage cabinet in the living room to store water, drinks, and some food for easy access.

She originally wanted to change the furniture in the rooms of Qian's mother and daughter.

Qian Lin didn't want to take advantage of her or trouble her, so she declined.

Qian Rongrong is really satisfied. Before she lived in Taoyang, her home was not as nice as here!

Su Tao didn't force them.

When she was almost done packing, Song Yuebin suddenly came to her and said a little embarrassedly:

"Boss Su, I want to go to the pet shop in Xindu tonight. Would you like to come with me? I'm a rough guy, and sometimes I'm not sure what you girls like. Can you give me some advice?"

Song Yuebin came to Xindu not only to send those two human traffickers to her.

More importantly, he wanted to find a nice pet to give to a wealthy lady in the north.

There is actually a pet shop in Xindu, which is indeed a benchmark for the southern base.

Su Tao asked curiously, "How old is that lady?"

Song Yuebin said, "She's only 20 years old, about the same age as you. So, they're all young girls. If you like her, the lady should like her too."

She was so young that Su Tao thought she was a young woman in her thirties.

She didn't ask too much, after all, it was someone else's privacy, so she nodded and said:

"Okay, then, what time do we go tonight?"

"After dinner? Are Manager Qian and Xiao Qian free tonight? How about going together?"

Since there was nothing to do in the evening, it was a good opportunity to go out for a walk, so the mother and daughter agreed.

Lin Fangzhi was distributing supplies to everyone as usual, and he happened to hear it, so he wanted to go too.

Su Tao said something to Shi Zijin, and finally one more person was added to the pet-watching team.

As night falls, the lights in Xindu come on and the roads are generally bright, unlike Dongyang where you have to use a flashlight to go out.

In this bright night, no one noticed that Heizhima ran out of the apartment and disappeared on the street.
