Chapter 189 Mountain Villa
Suspended villa.
It was the tenth day after they moved to the villa, and the area at the foot of the mountain finally saw the figures of refugees one after another.
They were not the first group of people to evacuate the city, but they were the only ones who had a clear purpose and headed straight to the halfway point of this mountain.
The land nearby was originally owned by another company that had business dealings with Youxi Company. The other party wanted to build a resort on the edge of the city. At that time, the main construction area was planned at the foot of the mountain. There were lakes and plains with clear water, which was just suitable for resort construction.
As for this mountain, the terrain conditions were not very good. The top of the mountain was not high and steep, so it didn't make much sense to build a cableway. The terrain on the mountainside is not flat and the area is not enough, so it is a bit cramped to build large-scale adventure-type amusement facilities. In the end, they planned to build a few mountainside teahouses and cafes, but they were not key projects and the progress was slow.
After "Youxi" decided to build a refuge villa, she chose this place from several relatively safe areas in the southeast, northwest, and finally because of this mountainside.
She personally went to the other party's boss to talk, saying that she was in poor health and wanted to build a place for health preservation in the mountains and forests, and finally bought this piece of land near the cliff on the mountainside.
The other party was doing business with the "Youxi" group at the time. This piece of land was so small and not worth much, and it was basically sold at half price.
I heard that after some troops and some civilians evacuated in the later period, the temporary settlement was in a half-built resort at the foot of the mountain. There were already completed buildings there, all of which were residential houses, and there was a water source nearby, which was very suitable as a refuge area.
The mountainside was a distance away from the resort below, but it was also considered within the troops' shelter area, and the terrain here was high, so the situation nearby could be monitored at any time.
I don't know if "Youxi" planned to buy two companion servants from the beginning of building this villa, so in addition to the master bedroom suite, the villa has four rooms, three upstairs and one downstairs, just enough for one person.
There were no other refugees nearby, and they were far away from the "Red Lotus" distribution area, so Youxi and his friends had a very peaceful life for the past ten days.
**
When they first entered the villa that day, Youxi took advantage of the other four people not paying attention and went to the open kitchen in the restaurant to fill the two double-door refrigerators with fresh food, from vegetables to fruits to eggs, milk, cheese and cheese.
Then he quickly went into the storage room and took out a large freezer. After turning on the power, he placed a freezer of M12 eye ribs, marbling, short ribs, whole chickens, chicken wings and legs, lamb chops, lamb skewers, and seafood suitable for freezing in it.
Then he collected some long-lasting vacuum foods and convenience foods, and placed seven or eight bags of newly bought "Autumn Leaf Fragrant Rice", several boxes of mixed snacks with sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavors, several boxes of barreled and bottled water, a box of exquisite tableware and tea sets, two boxes of fitness equipment, and a box of polar equipment bags in the empty space.
A slight adjustment makes the villa's inventory look more reasonable.
A housekeeper like Hei Mu, who can arrange everything in an orderly manner, basically counts the inventory at home as soon as he enters a new residence. If she slowly puts things out after today, he will definitely know that there is a problem.
Although she will spend a year in this world, some things will be known to others sooner or later.
But now she has only been here for less than half a month, so we can keep it a secret for a while, and it can be regarded as giving each other a step. Some things have all kinds of weird situations from the beginning, and some things slowly become weird in the later stages, which are two completely different feelings.
That night, because we evacuated the city and cleaned up the villa, dinner was relatively simple. Each person had a portion of about 500 grams of M12 eye meat, fried in butter to medium rare and served with rose sea salt.
The top-quality meat does not need more seasoning. Cut a small piece and dip it in a little ground sea salt. It melts in your mouth, plump and tender.
Youxi often eats M9 beef because it is in the stock. M12 beef is more difficult to buy, so when she saw it in the store in this world this time, she bought eleven boxes in one go, a total of 330 portions, 1,000 grams per portion, which is enough for two people to eat.
They can be free from wagyu for a long time.
In addition, Hei Mu made a large portion of seafood rice that Youxi liked, and paired it with a vegetable and fruit salad.
The next day, Youxi asked Hei Mu and the others to dismantle the fitness equipment box, take out three pairs of dumbbells of different weights, two abdominal rollers, install a pull-up bar and a sit-up chair, and then let the four of them use the equipment for physical training every day.
Jian Shou was injured and has not recovered yet, so he temporarily supervises and guides the other three. This is part of his job, and Youxi is relieved to leave it to him.
The villa is safe now, but after all, she only has memories of about a month after the apocalypse, and they are not complete memories.
She doesn't know if 'Red Lotus' will appear nearby in a month. Once they are in the ground fissure zone or the suction zone, they will have to flee again. If they don't have strong physical fitness, they can't even run fast when they are escaping.
But she doesn't need to explain these to them. The good thing about people is here. She gives orders and they do it without asking endless questions and doubts.
During these ten quiet days, the villa has remained on the ground and has not risen.
Because the villa has no balcony or terrace, Youxi will go out every day to take a walk in the yard to get some fresh air, or run fifteen or sixteen laps along the wall.
Seeing that she liked to stay outside, Hei Mu set up a rattan table and chairs and a small parasol so that she could have afternoon tea and sunbathe in the yard.
The current affairs news in the living room was still on 24 hours a day, so that they could understand the situation outside.
Nowadays, except for the news about disasters and rescue related to "Red Lotus", all other news seemed to have disappeared from the planet.
You Xi was a little concerned about the thick gray fog he saw when he left the city before. After not seeing relevant news in the news, he went online to check and even posted questions on several online platforms that were still operating.
But most of the inquiry posts were ignored. Occasionally, one or two people responded, and they also cursed her, saying that the situation outside is so bad now. Everyone's homes have been destroyed and they are displaced. It's hard to have three meals a day. Who has the time to pay attention to the fog?
Only under one post, someone replied with a slightly useful message.
The other party said that he also saw fog that day. Their family was lucky in the early stage. There was no ground fissure area nearby. That day, the safe evacuation route map was just announced. They were originally discussing whether to evacuate or not. After all, they were safe at home now, but they were afraid of sudden changes.
As expected, they felt a strong tremor not long after the discussion.
Almost everyone was terrified of the word "earthquake" these days. An earthquake meant the ground cracked and the "Red Lotus" appeared. They were panicked and didn't know whether to escape or accept their fate.
After all, everyone knew that the suction range of the "Red Lotus" was very wide. If they were within the earthquake range, they could not escape by just their legs.
But to their surprise, the earthquake only lasted for a moment before it stopped. When the man looked up out the window, he found that it was filled with thick fog. The fog was gray and so thick that it almost had a solid texture.
The family, who had survived the disaster, stared out the window in a daze, but the fog soon dissipated.
Later, when they read the news of the day, they learned that there was indeed a ground fissure near their home, but no "red lotus" appeared. They were lucky because the ground fissure was very small and would not affect them.
Although he replied to Youxi's post, he himself could not tell whether the gray fog was related to the ground fissure.
She did not ignore this reply. She had been searching for information related to the gray fog online for the past few days, but all the information on the Internet was related to "Red Lotus" and she could not find any similar information at all.
The only thing that was clear was that there had been no fog within the visible range around the villa in the past few days.
Not only that, the weather was very good and it was sunny every day.
In the end, even Youxi herself felt that she was too vigilant.
The destructive power of "Red Lotus" was already so terrible, and the appearance of disorder was almost a subversive destruction. How could there be other unknown disasters at the same time?
**
On the third day after the refugees appeared nearby, the troops showed up with a group of new refugees, and the number of people in the resort at the foot of the mountain increased rapidly.
It is said that two "red lotuses" suddenly appeared in other places overnight. Fortunately, they did not appear in the central area of the shelter, but the troops also lost some people and moved here.
As the number of people increased, all the buildings in the resort were crowded.
Those who came later could only live in tents for the time being. Some people were smarter and saw the vague buildings on the mountainside. They went up the mountain road and finally found several half-built teahouses and cafes.
Although it was just a teahouse, the building had walls and windows. It was better to sleep in a tent here than in the open air. After all, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it would be much warmer to have a roof to block the wind and rain.
Later, some people came to the mountainside. They saw that the teahouses and coffee shops were also full one after another. Finally, they searched all the way and saw this large and strange villa built by Youxi on the open space beside the cliff.
They first rang the doorbell outside the door to see if there was anyone inside. Hei Mu answered the conversation button and politely said that this was a private place and asked them to leave.
But these people were not willing to leave. Although this villa looked strange, with eight huge steel pillars standing outside, it looked solid like a fortress. They were not willing to leave.
At one point he begged outside the door, saying that an elderly person at home was in poor health, and then he said that it was the end of the world, and everyone should unite and help each other, and not be selfish. Since there was such a big villa, they should open the door to let more refugees in. Although
there were only seven or eight of them here, there were many people at the foot of the mountain. When a group of people came, they would have to open the door even if they didn't want to. It would be better to give up some rooms as soon as possible, so that when others wanted to come, they would be helpless when they saw that the place was full...
These words were very well said, almost with a hint of threat.
Hei Mu knew that the language "please" should not be "invited" to let the other party go, so he was waiting for You Xi's instructions.
You Xi stood in front of the window, looked back at him, and nodded to him.
So Hei Mu immediately turned around and went upstairs to the control room in the attic. Yan
Shang opened the door of the villa, and went to the yard with Xi Yuan to pack up the rattan chair and parasol that You Xi often sat on and moved them in.
Jian Shou went to the platform where the low-altitude suspension car was parked in the yard. He got in the car and quickly drove the car to slowly rise, then circled at the top of the steel column and waited.
After Yan Shang and Xi Yuan entered the door, You Xi closed the door of the villa and locked all the doors and windows with one click.
Hei Mu saw the green light in the control room, and immediately closed the interface motorized valves of the villa's water source and sewage treatment parts, and then started the villa's suspension function.
The people gathered outside the gate of the courtyard saw the person inside come out through the black iron railing door, and thought that their words had worked and that the person came out to open the door for them. As a result, after the other party operated, the strange villa in front of them began to rise slowly! ?
They stared at the villa, their mouths wide open in surprise.
They knew about floating cars, but they had never heard of floating villas!
It’s not that floating villas can’t be built. With the material of "driftwood", anyone can build one. But under normal circumstances, who would have the brain to build such a villa! ?
People who can afford a villa can just buy a large flat in a building if they want to live in a high-rise building!
Why build a floating villa in such a place where no one lives! ?
Is he really crazy!
You Xi stood behind the living room window, with her arms folded, looking at the people outside the courtyard gate and listening to their conversation.
What for?
She chuckled softly, of course to guard against refugees like them who "think I am weak but I am right".
Such people are different from the ferocious people who broke into the building that day. They are all ordinary people, they are miserable, but they are equally difficult to deal with.
After all, moral bondage, just spit can drown people.
The suspended villa rose all the way to the top floor and was tightly stuck into the semicircular dome on the top of the steel column. Then the eight steel columns extended with fixing grooves to gently fix the villa to prevent it from shifting.
Finally, Hei Mu opened the motorized valves of the water source and sewage treatment interfaces on the top, and then opened the parking platform for the low-altitude suspended vehicle outside the top steel column, so that Jian Shou could park the car steadily, and then go down the platform stairs to the window on the second floor of the villa and enter the villa directly from the window.
In less than ten minutes, the villa and the low-altitude vehicle were already placed in the air at a height of six or seven floors.
Even if the people below climbed over the wall, they could only look up, and even if they cursed loudly, they could not reach even a corner of the villa wall.
**
That evening, the few people outside the wall not only did not leave, but a few more people came over. They opened the gate of the yard and sat in the yard, as if waiting for others above to lower the villa.
Someone forcibly took a child from his family. The child cried loudly after leaving the warm and safe embrace of his mother, but the man ignored him and pointed to the villa in the air, then walked around the yard with him in his arms.
Some people also tried to climb eight steel pillars, trying to climb up and get into the villa, but the steel pillars were too thick and smooth, so there was no way to start.
"Evil rich people! Black-hearted! Cold-blooded!" Someone gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Stop making trouble. The resort at the foot of the mountain has been re-planned and allocated. Uncles and aunts have places to sleep, and food is distributed at night. You too, come with me!"
"What's the point of sleeping in such a small place! How can it compare with this villa? I've been waiting for most of the day. What if the people inside can't stand it and the villa is lowered after a while? I'll be at a big loss! What do you know! Either shut up and wait together, or get out of here!"
The woman stared at her boyfriend for a moment, and then she turned around and went down the mountain by herself.
After Youxi and the others had dinner that day, there were still several people outside the villa who refused to leave.
Hei Mu shook his head, and after Youxi went upstairs, he turned off the lights on the first floor of the villa.
