Chapter 21 Victims' Families
He Rui hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
He was more afraid of being questioned by his conscience than suffering losses.
Even if telling the truth meant putting himself in greater danger and losing some supplies, he had to do his best to properly accommodate these people and warn them of the future dangers.
He does not always weigh the pros and cons and try to gain every possible advantage. Sometimes he would rather take risks and make decisions according to his own wishes.
"I'd like to trouble you to help me for a few more days, and then I will pay off your wages and also give each of you an additional compensation.
The door to Room 702 wasn't closed before, so you two probably heard the phone call that person made."
The two looked puzzled. "What salary compensation? What phone call?"
He Rui didn't know whether it was because the gap in the door was too small that the two people didn't hear the call made by the protagonist Ji Changqing, or because they didn't understand what he meant.
He took a deep breath.
"...A disaster is coming... I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. I'll return to the manor in a couple of days, once you're all gathered, or have a video conference with you all. I'll share what I've learned. There's a meteorite about to hit us, and the situation is pretty dire.
I'll do my best to prepare for the disaster in the next two days. I'll make a shopping list, copy it, and distribute it to you. If you need anything, please stock up in advance. If you have any difficulties, please tell me directly. I'll buy everything together and ship it directly to the manor, and you can pick it up there."
He Rui told the truth directly, but this matter was rather exaggerated. He was not sure whether the other party would believe him after he explained it to these two people.
As expected, after hearing what he said, the two of them had conflicted expressions and looked at him with frowns.
The deputy butler's face was filled with doubt and confusion. He hesitated, "Master, do you have a fever? Are you kidding me? You've been acting strangely all day, like a completely different person."
He Rui's heart seemed to be suddenly pinched, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
It feels like I've committed a crime and been caught by the victim's family.
For a long time, there was no sense of existence, and the soothing light music was playing silently. The BGM that he ignored suddenly picked up the tempo at this moment.
The melody became tense, and his panic gradually increased.
He Rui immediately tightened his facial expression, looking serious and saying firmly, "I'm not kidding!"
The two people opposite him looked at him silently.
He Rui was so angry that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After a while, the lock picker slowly spoke up, defending him, "Young Master's words are probably true. I guess he's become a different person because he got the news and realized how serious the situation is. He's been extra serious all day."
He Rui found that he was really exposed completely.
It turned out that the employees had already noticed that something was wrong with him, but they just didn't say anything.
As expected, he shouldn't have been so unscrupulous in staying with the rich second generation's acquaintances for more than twenty minutes.
After all, when you are familiar with each other to a certain extent, you can find any abnormalities by looking at the walking posture, the back, or listening to the pronunciation and accent.
But he really had no choice. After all, he didn't understand the young master's personality or his daily state.
Given that he knew nothing, all he could do was not deny it and pretend to be confused.
Before going out in the morning, when he asked the housekeeper Sister Wang for the payment password of the rich second generation, he was asked how he could have forgotten even this.
Fortunately, we can only say that not everyone is so outrageous as to be as bold as the protagonist Ji Changqing to directly think that the person has been replaced.
He Rui looked at the solemn and suspicious look on the deputy butler's face and was still quite worried. He was afraid that this guy would also see the truth like the protagonist, and his face would change in the next second, and he would find out that his young master had been replaced, and then he would question who he was and ask him for their young master.
At least the other party spoke again and stopped dwelling on his abnormal behavior.
The deputy housekeeper frowned and said, "What are you going to do? If there really is that... um, meteorite, you're here alone without anyone around. It won't work, right? Otherwise..."
He Rui, who didn't show it on his face, was relieved in his heart and quickly interrupted the other person, saying to distance himself, "Don't worry about me, just take care of yourselves and your families."
Having said that, he simply refused to continue the conversation, turned around and went into the house alone.
I was afraid that if I said a few more words, I would be completely exposed.
After walking around the house, He Rui took a look at the area and estimated that it was about 100 square meters, which was a decent size.
When buying the three houses, he didn't ask about the size, nor did he go in to see the layout. He just made the final decision and paid one million for the original price plus renovation costs, and then got the money.
This is my first time visiting here.
Although he had entered the protagonist's house before, he was only beaten in the living room and did not go deep into the enemy camp to explore the environment inside the house.
He Rui calculated.
If these three houses are all around 100 square meters and are all used to store supplies, they can hold a lot of supplies if they are stacked to the top.
I wonder how long he and the protagonist can last.
After all, if you want to curry favor with someone, and if you really become his younger brother, you must share food.
It's impossible that he is so short-sighted and petty as to have a heart attack just because he sees the protagonist eating a mouthful of his rice.
He Rui felt that he had to speed up his efforts to cling to Ji Changqing, otherwise, if Ji Changqing went crazy one day and decided not to live here, if he wanted to catch up with him and move to another place with him, there would be a pile of supplies in the house, and in an emergency, he would definitely not be able to take much.
Therefore, he still needs to get a positive or negative answer from the other party as soon as possible so that he can make the next arrangements.
Maybe, you can buy an amphibious armored vehicle?
But tsunamis are a problem. If you park your car downstairs, no matter how amphibious it is, a car cannot be completely waterproof.
The car was soaked in water that covered the roof. After a few days, the engine was damaged and it became a flooded car that could not be used without repair.
But if you park in a high-rise parking lot, when the end of the world comes and the world is in chaos, the roads will most likely be blocked.
It is difficult to drive down the car parked in the high-rise parking lot.
He Rui sighed and put aside the issue of buying a car for the time being. He started making a list on his phone, thinking about what he needed.
The things the protagonist mentioned before are definitely must-buys: food, water, and cold-proof clothing.
Buy emergency drinking water with a long shelf life.
The shelf life of bagged products is five to ten years, while he knows that the shelf life of canned products can be as long as fifty years.
Of course, based on the daily drinking water consumption, with three houses and two people, it is estimated that all the stored water will be drunk up in less than a year.
When it comes to food, you should also buy the kind that has a long shelf life.
Maybe he would have to build a large high-rise warehouse to store more food and water resources.
Then, just like the protagonist said, pray that there will be no earthquake or collapse in that place, and that it will be kept for him so that he can find his supplies later.
In addition to food and water, the protagonist also mentioned two things: lead plates and protective clothing.
These two things make people feel uneasy when they hear them.
He Rui controlled himself and did not think about what kind of disaster would require such a thing.
I just became more determined in my heart and decided to try harder and talk to the protagonist as soon as possible.
Finding the protagonist can keep him possible.
He didn't intend to use the little information he knew to negotiate or trade with the protagonist, forcing the protagonist to keep him.
He didn't know much in the first place. If he squeezed out information again and again, and eventually told all the information, he would only face the fate of being abandoned by his superiors.
And seeing that the protagonist is ready to kick him away, it is unlikely that he can threaten you.
The purpose of clinging to someone's thighs is not to rely on this guy, treat yourself like a giant baby, and find a caregiver to force the other party to protect you.
He also seriously wants to be the subordinate of the protagonist's grandson, and will not be prepared to rebel and assassinate the protagonist at any time.
He wants to coexist peacefully.
When you are weak, seek shelter to survive, learn from the protagonist how to cope with the end of the world, and then become stronger.
As long as the protagonist is not a very bad person, does not have an antisocial personality, and is not forced to do things that cross the bottom line such as cannibalism or killing innocent people, he generally will not betray or defect.
