The sound was clearly coming from the bed.
Gao Fan looked awkwardly at Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue, and their eyes met.
Gao Fan awkwardly dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, suggesting that he should move in by himself.
Gao Fan displayed his exceptional composure, closed his eyes, and began his work report.
"Here's the thing, two very powerful superhumans have arrived at the base. They've handed over a large amount of supplies and want to be allocated the best housing."
"The best house in the base is in the same neighborhood as yours, Major General."
"How should we proceed with this procedure?"
There was no immediate reply from the other end of the walkie-talkie. After a moment, a less impatient voice came through: "Explain the details."
Gao Fan recounted the situation: "One second-tier ability user with dual water and fire elemental abilities, and one second-tier ability user with metal elemental abilities. The supplies handed over were: five boxes of compressed biscuits, five boxes of instant noodles, five boxes of chocolate, ten cartons of cigarettes, and two boxes of alcohol."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there." The faint sound of a belt buckle came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, probably someone getting dressed.
There was also a woman's subtle plea: "Baby, don't go."
"Please wait a moment, both of you. It will be quick." Gao Fan acted accordingly after receiving the instruction.
It was indeed very fast.
In less than ten minutes, Major General Kang, whom Gao Fan had mentioned, arrived at the base's VIP room.
Major General Kang, with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his mouth, stubbed it out in the ashtray as soon as he entered.
He was not the ugly, lecherous old man I had imagined.
Major General Kang looked like a normal person, with a tall and strong build.
He has a nose and eyes, and his facial features are not too flawed, but he doesn't quite meet the standard of a handsome man.
"Hello, I am Kang Xiyang," Major General Kang introduced himself.
"I am Jiang Qingwan."
"I am Gu Ningyue."
The three people introduced themselves by name, matched names with faces.
Unlike his image on the phone, Major General Kang Xiyang was serious and upright, and showed no disrespect to Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue.
Major General Kangxi spoke very eloquently.
"I am very happy that you two beautiful and dashing ladies have joined our base."
"I'll personally host a welcome dinner for you two later. The best house I own is in the same neighborhood as me. From now on, we'll be neighbors."
Jiang Qingwan politely declined, "No need, you're too kind. We're tired from our journey and want to go back to sleep."
Gu Ningyue yawned and chimed in, "We haven't slept much along the way."
They're lying through their teeth. Of course, they don't need to close their eyes in the morning, but they really should take a nap.
"Then let me treat you to dinner another day. I'm going home anyway, you can ride in my car," Kang Xiyang said warmly.
"No need. You lead the way, we'll drive ourselves." Jiang Qingwan didn't want to get involved.
I had never met Kang Xiyang in my previous life, so I don't know much about his background.
"Okay, I'm happy to serve you, beautiful lady." Kang Xiyang opened the door to the VIP room and gestured for her to enter.
Gao Fan unloaded the supplies from the car one by one and piled them up in the VIP room.
The truck has finished unloading.
Jiang Qingwan drove after Gao Fan back to the best residential area where people with superpowers lived.
This residential area also has a gatekeeper.
Jiang Qingwan's car was blocked outside the residential area.
Kang Xiyang rolled down the car window and turned to negotiate with the administrator: "This is a new resident. Please let the cars behind come in first, and we'll complete the formalities inside."
Upon hearing this, the administrator opened the gate and let Jiang Qingwan's car in.
Kang Xiyang simply instructed, "Assign her to room number 1212. Process the formalities now and get her moving in as soon as possible."
The administrator came out from his post, picked up a notebook and pen from the drawer, and took out a set of keys.
The administrator stood by the car window, handed Jiang Qingwan a notebook, pen, and keys, and said, "Write your name and phone number after room number 1212."
"The registration process is that simple?" Jiang Qingwan quickly wrote down her name.
"I feel like this is all unnecessary, and the phone lines are down. I don't know when the signal will be restored," the administrator said helplessly.
Seeing that the keys had fallen into Jiang Qingwan's hands, Kang Xiyang then fulfilled his duty of leading the way, saying, "I'll take you to the underground parking lot."
"Okay." Jiang Qingwan gave an OK sign.
The underground parking lot is marked with a number.
Kang Xiyang pointed to the number 1212 on the ground and said, "Let's stop here."
Jiang Qingwan smoothly reversed into the parking space.
Kang Xiyang then parked his car in 1208.
"Follow me." After parking the car, Kang Xiyang gestured for Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue to follow her.
"I'll probably guess it's another large, single-level apartment," Gu Ningyue guessed.
“I think this code looks similar too.” Jiang Qingwan nodded in agreement.
Hearing the conversation behind him, Kang Xiyang laughed heartily, "Yes, the best is a large single-level apartment."
"No villas?" Jiang Qingwan felt that she had a lot of resources in her space now, enough to definitely buy a villa.
"You're overthinking it. Villas are for base leaders only." Kang Xiyang turned around in surprise.
“A large, single-level apartment is already quite nice. I couldn’t afford one before the apocalypse,” Kang Xiyang comforted him.
These words left Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue speechless.
Before the apocalypse, these were two young, wealthy women.
Although they live in a large single-level apartment, they still have the financial means to buy a villa.
Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue exchanged a glance but did not respond.
The route from the underground parking garage to the building's stairwell is easy to remember.
Having gone through it once, Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue had already memorized it.
The elevator is operating normally.
Kang Xiyang reached out and blocked the open elevator door, gentlemanly letting Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue go in first.
Press the elevator buttons for the 8th and 12th floors.
The 8th floor is the first to arrive.
Kang Xiyang bowed slightly and nodded, indicating, "I'll go home first. If you need anything, just ask me for help."
Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue knew this was just a polite remark, and nodded in response.
The elevator stopped on the 12th floor. Jiang Qingwan turned the key, and the door opened.
Floor-to-ceiling windows offer unobstructed panoramic views.
The floor was clean, and the room was fully furnished.
It was probably cleaned up a second time by al-Qaeda personnel.
"I'll reinforce the doors and windows." Gu Ningyue used her metal-related abilities to add another metal door and window on the inside of the existing doors and windows.
Gu Ningyue then closed the curtains, and Jiang Qingwan turned on the light.
"The base has electricity. That's great. As expected, the infrastructure is much better in well-organized places," Gu Ningyue remarked.
Jiang Qingwan has decided to stay here for the time being.
They pulled out a huge pile of home furnishings from the space.
Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue changed into fluffy slippers and unconsciously sank into the sofa.
"I'll stay in this room, and you'll stay in that room," Jiang Qingwan said, pointing casually.
"Okay." Gu Ningyue obeyed the order.
"Then I'll go cultivate. You rest for a while and then go cultivate too." Jiang Qingwan, the queen of infighting, is back online.
Cultivation is a never-ending process.
Jiang Qingwan reluctantly got up from the soft sofa and then casually produced several large buckets of snacks from the coffee table.
Before leaving the living room, he left with one last sentence: "Eat whatever you like. Don't be shy."
