At 5 a.m. on the twelfth day of extreme cold, the first wave of intruders finally arrived outside the shelter.
Under the cover of night, an engineering vehicle silently arrived at the perimeter of the shelter.
"Be careful, if she finds you and you hide, you'll be hard to find!"
"Boss, are you really sure there are a lot of supplies in here?"
"Of course! Don't ask any useless questions. Just listen to my plan and follow my instructions! Wait, why is there an extra wall here?"
The man addressed as "boss" was dressed in a well-tailored gray suit, with a completely bald head and gleaming eyes. He was none other than Li Zhengbo, the owner of Weiyuan Construction.
When Ye Ning was building the shelter, he felt that Ye Ning's building requirements were strange. Although City A is located in the southeast and is not a cold area, Ye Ning insisted on keeping warm everywhere. He keenly sensed that there must be a special reason for this.
It wasn't until the extreme cold arrived that he finally realized that Ye Ning had foreseen everything all along.
In the early stages of the extreme cold, he panicked for a while, but as expected of a shrewd businessman, he was quick-witted. He quickly gathered his subordinates and built his own power base. First, he scavenged for supplies in the surrounding area, and then he soon remembered Ye Ning.
Since Ye Ning had foreseen all of this, she must have prepared a lot of supplies.
Li Zhengbo decided to kill Ye Ning, then seize her sanctuary as his base, gradually expand his power, and eventually take control of the entire City A.
The end of the world might actually be a good thing for him!
He had previously tampered with two locations within the shelter during his year there, making entry easy.
Once he sneaks in and quietly takes care of Ye Ning, the entire shelter will be his.
What he didn't expect was that the moment he stepped onto the mountain, Erhuang had already sensed everything.
Erhuang, who was sleeping, suddenly perked up its ears and hurriedly ran and jumped to Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen's door, scratching at the tightly closed door with its claws.
Meanwhile, Ye Ning was sitting on the bed scrolling through her WeChat Moments when she saw Lin Mengru and Shangguan Rong posting complaints on their Moments.
Suddenly, I heard a noise at the door. It was Erhuang's voice. Did it sense something?
Ye Ning opened the door, and Erhuang slipped in sideways, meowing and gesturing southeast with its paw.
Ye Ning instantly understood. "Erhuang, you mean there's something going on in the southeast?"
Erhuang nodded.
"Ye Ning, I'll go check on things first. You stay here and wait for me! I'll be right back!" Xiao Jingchen opened the door.
"No, let's go together!" Ye Ning put on her coat and walked out of the residential area with Xiao Jingchen, heading towards the observation tower in the southeast direction.
Previously, when Ye Ning was renovating the shelter, she specifically asked Li Zhenbo to build a total of four watchtowers for her.
To prevent strong winds and power outages from affecting the monitoring, Ye Ning installed telescopes in all four observation towers. Once on the observation tower, nothing around her could escape her eyes.
The observation tower is a full five meters high. Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen went up the spiral staircase to the top floor.
Ye Ning opened the binoculars and soon she saw the dozen or so dark figures.
"Just as I expected, it really is him!" Ye Ning handed the binoculars to Xiao Jingchen.
At this moment, outside the shelter's perimeter wall.
A group of people were staring at each other, looking at the outermost wall.
"Boss, how do we get in?"
Li Zhengbo never expected that Ye Ning would build another wall outside the existing wall.
"Climb over and get the stairs quickly!"
The stairs were quickly moved over, and the person searching carefully climbed up the stairs into the wall.
"Jingchen, do you think we should just shoot them with crossbows?" Fortunately, she already knew that Li Zhengbo was dishonest and was prepared.
"No need to wait for them to get any closer! The range is too far now!" Xiao Jingchen said nonchalantly. In his eyes, this group of people posed no threat to him whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Li Zhengbo's men finally scaled the first wall. As they were descending the ladder, Li Zhengbo almost slipped and fell, but thankfully, his men caught him in time.
Li Zhengbo led them toward the gate, and in less than five minutes, two huge iron gates appeared in front of them.
"Boss, it seems like the walls here are electrified. How do we get in? Should we just tear down the gate?" asked Li Zhengbo's most trusted henchman.
"Bullshit, you pig-brained idiot, did you even graduate from elementary school? How are you going to dismantle such a thick iron gate? Come on, show me how you dismantle one!" Li Zhengbo was so angry that he gave him a hard thud on the head.
"I only graduated from primary school! It's not my fault that I'm uneducated!" the henchman muttered discontentedly. If he were highly educated, he wouldn't be a henchman; he would have been a novice writer long ago.
"What are you saying? Come over and help me with the boxes! Idiot!" Li Zhengbo scolded.
"Boss, what's in this box? It's so heavy!"
"Tools!" Li Zhengbo replied reluctantly. He had already tampered with the electronic locks at Ye Ning's shelter; he only needed to cut one wire for the door to open automatically.
"But where's the electronic lock?" The henchman looked at the door in front of him, completely baffled. There was no lock on it at all!
"Are you blind?! Can't you see such a big electronic lock? I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!" Li Zhengbo cursed. He was short of manpower right now, and he would never let these brainless people become his confidants.
