Despite Ye Ning's coquettish charm, Xiao Jingchen eventually led her to the temporary workshop.
In the spacious warehouse, a semi-finished helicopter appeared before Ye Ning's eyes.
Ye Ning excitedly circled the helicopter several times.
"Jingchen, you actually assembled it! You're amazing!" Ye Ning looked at Xiao Jingchen with starry eyes. "Then we can just take a helicopter out in the future, right?"
"No! It's nothing!" Ye Ning's straightforward praise made Xiao Jingchen blush.
He pulled Ye Ning into his arms.
"Ahem! There are elderly people here, be mindful of your behavior!" Long Fei teased from the side.
"Brother Longfei, you're here too! You're so funny, you don't look old at all."
"You only just realized I was here! Do some people think we're invisible?!"
Long Fei rarely showed his cheerful side. After spending time together, Long Fei was no longer as taciturn as he had been at the beginning.
"By the way, Jingchen, those boxes you asked me to get last time, were they helicopter parts inside?" Ye Ning deliberately changed the subject to cover up her embarrassment.
"That's right! It's from the batch of supplies we seized from Xinyuan Group before."
The supplies that Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen seized from Xinyuan Group last time included not only firearms but also a number of other supplies, including helicopters.
With so many supplies, Ye Ning could imagine how frantic Xinyuan Group would be if they found out.
"Jingchen, how long will it take to assemble this helicopter?" Ye Ning looked at the half-finished product in front of her and suddenly felt a little excited about sitting in it.
"It will take at least half a month, and at most a month and a half. We've only just finished assembling it. After that, we still need to weld it and then paint it. Half a month is the shortest we can expect!"
"Alright then!" Ye Ning lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.
"The helicopter is all assembled. I'll definitely take you for a spin. Be a good boy." Xiao Jingchen kissed Ye Ning's forehead affectionately, and then he and Long Fei started working on the helicopter.
With helicopters, travel becomes much easier, especially after the zombie horde arrives, because no matter how many walls and jumps the zombies can climb, they won't be able to attack helicopters.
However, now that we have helicopters, we should build a helipad for them. This is fine in the shelter, but we also need to build a place where people can stay regularly in the outside world.
Where should I set it up? That's it! I've got it!
Ye Ning took out her satellite phone and dialed Gao Feng's number.
However, Gao Feng didn't answer either of Ye Ning's two calls.
That's strange, could something have happened?
Just as Ye Ning was hesitating whether or not to ask Xiao Jingchen to call Uncle Yun.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Ye Ning picked up the satellite phone and saw that it was Gao Feng calling.
"Hey, where did Uncle Gao go? Why is no one answering my calls?" Ye Ning asked immediately.
"Miss, I'm so sorry! Xiaomin wasn't feeling well just now, and I was taking care of her over there, so I didn't have time to pick up the phone!" Gao Feng explained, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"What? Xiaomin is sick? How is it? Is it serious?" Ye Ning asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing, just a bit of a cold. Doctor Liu has already come to check on me, so it should be fine!" Gao Feng didn't want Ye Ning to worry, so he deliberately covered it up.
In fact, Dr. Liu told him that Xiaomin's condition was not optimistic. She had just undergone surgery and then encountered such a cruel cold.
In such an extremely cold environment, every day is a severe challenge for Xiaomin's fragile heart.
"By the way, Uncle Gao, how's the situation on your end?" Ye Ning didn't think much of it after hearing Gao Feng's question.
"The situation here is relatively stable for the time being! Since the federal rescue team arrived, the surrounding environment has become much more peaceful, and we haven't seen anyone looting supplies for quite some time!" Gao Feng reported truthfully.
"How far is the nearest temporary rescue point from where you are, Uncle Gao?" Ye Ning asked, while estimating in her mind.
"The nearest rescue point is about three kilometers away, but I haven't been there myself," Gao Feng replied.
"Miss, do you have any new instructions?"
“That’s right!” Ye Ning said directly, “I plan to build a small helipad for helicopters in your area.”
"A helicopter? A helipad?" Gao Feng was full of doubt and confusion. The young lady actually bought a helicopter? But how could they possibly build it with just a few people?
"Uncle Gao, you and Uncle Yun should find some suitable laborers nearby and pay them accordingly. I will send you the design drawings, and we can just follow the steps in the design to build! Once the helipad is built, it will be convenient for Jingchen and me to return to these two places!"
What they have in abundance is labor. As long as they can have a full meal, there are plenty of people willing to help them build things, but they need to be selected from reliable ones.
"Yes, Miss!" Gao Feng nodded, though he was still a little confused.
Gao Feng's education level is not high, and talking to him about building a helipad is too complicated for him. Fortunately, Uncle Yun and the others are there, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"By the way, Uncle Gao, you guys better not go out recently. Stay in the warehouse and ignore anyone who asks for supplies for any reason!" On the surface, everything seems to be going well, but it's precisely at times like these that some people will try to take advantage of the situation.
"Yes, Miss, I understand!" Gao Feng said respectfully.
"Also, we must not let our guard down during this period, and we must not let our compassion get the better of us and let anyone in! And, whatever you do, do not give any help to anyone!" Ye Ning warned.
It's not that she's heartless, but rather that she doesn't flaunt her wealth. Once she opens the door, many people will covet it.
Although the federal government has repeatedly called on everyone to help each other and overcome the difficulties together, none of the large conglomerates such as Xinyuan Group have taken any action and are all in a wait-and-see mode.
Right now, self-preservation is the most important thing.
"Not even old men and women?" Gao Feng asked, puzzled.
“That’s right, you can’t!” Ye Ning said coldly.
“Yes, Miss!” Gao Feng replied respectfully.
