Su Li always felt that her system villa was a semi-automatic product.
While it might seem like it requires manual maintenance, when Su Li wants to install something in the villa, such as the generator she installed before and the boiler she wants to install now, she only needs to spend experience points and provide the system with the materials needed to install these things, such as the boiler and underfloor heating pipes, and the installation can be completed with a single click.
However, if we say that this villa is automated, then the electricity and water, which are all built into the villa when it is in the space, all need to be installed by Su Li herself after the villa is taken outside.
If Su Li wants to make any changes to the villa, she has to manually pick them out one by one and redeem them one by one!
Although, if the options provided by the system don't suit her taste, she can modify them herself.
For example, the wall she's currently building can actually be obtained by spending experience points.
However, the walls that the system exchanges are too high and will completely block the view in front, and the experience points required to directly exchange for walls are actually quite high!
Su Li had already used up more than half of her experience points to bring the villa into reality, and she really couldn't bear to part with the rest!
Su Li even suspected that this was actually the system deliberately trying to earn her experience points!
There was no other way but to painstakingly build it up bit by bit, treating it as exercise and a way to pass the time!
However, Su Li still spent 1000 experience points to redeem a [Self-Construction Protection] promise from the system shop.
This is to protect the mortar she's using to build the wall, so it won't freeze and become brittle in this cold weather, thus preventing her wall from becoming a shoddy construction project!
At this moment, Su Li selected a boiler from the space, along with all the necessary items such as underfloor heating pipes, insulation boards, and reflective film to be laid throughout the villa.
Although these items were stored in the warehouse, Su Li was able to retrieve them directly from her spatial storage using her mind.
After everything was piled up together, sensing Su Li's thoughts, a selection panel appeared in front of Su Li.
[Choosing to install underfloor heating pipes will consume 5000 experience points. Yes? No?]
[Choose to install a boiler, consuming 300 experience points. Yes? No?]
Zuli selected "yes" for all of them.
Then, a notification popped up in my mind that experience points had been deducted!
The next instant, the red underfloor heating pipes and insulation boards, manifold, and wire mesh piled on the ground suddenly disappeared, while the boiler that was originally placed against the wall appeared on its own in the southeast corner of the basement.
Su Li went over to take a look, and used an iron plate to fence off an area of about five or six square meters next to the boiler, and piled some coal into it.
This coal is placed here so that it can be easily retrieved each time coal is added to the boiler.
Then she added water to the underfloor heating pipes, lit the boiler, and came out of the house to continue building the fence.
The temperature was even lower on the mountaintop at night.
The location where Zuli chose to build her villa is one of the few open spaces on the edge of the mountaintop.
The area not far from the courtyard was mostly obscured by huge, mutated trees, with only the area in front of the courtyard facing down the mountain being slightly open.
This is because the area below is all steep rocks, and the nearest tree is located less than twenty meters from the front of the courtyard.
It is because of these height differences that Su Li's view of the mountain below is not blocked by the trees in front of the yard.
But because of this, no trees could shield her from the cold winds from the northwest!
As dusk fell and night descended, several bright incandescent lamps were lit on the south side of the courtyard.
Su Li had a Bluetooth earphone in one ear, playing a popular song from before the apocalypse. Her movements, with a brick in one hand and a shovel of cement in the other, became increasingly skilled and smooth.
Xuanqing was lying on the chair that Su Lifang had temporarily used for resting, its tail curled around its feet, patting itself leisurely.
Neither the person nor the cat had eaten dinner yet. The oil tea noodles they ate around 4 PM had just been digested and they didn't feel hungry yet.
Su Li plans to have dinner after finishing work today.
The only sounds in the quiet night were the constant whistling of the wind through the trees and the scraping of shovels against red bricks. Several zombies and five or six mutated rabbits were attracted by the sounds.
They struggled to get closer to Su Li, their black mouths wide open, revealing their black, broken teeth. They were less than half a meter away from Su Li, but were blocked by a transparent wall of air.
This situation began when Su Li started digging the foundation outside the courtyard, and now she can simply ignore it.
However, although Su Li could ignore it, Xuan Qing found it quite an eyesore.
Such an ugly thing shouldn't appear on such a beautiful night.
So in the end, he couldn't help but get up, lure the mutated creatures away, and quickly deal with them.
After returning, he first walked around the entire residence, taking care of the two zombies and a mutated squirrel hiding in other corners, before slowly returning to Su Li's side.
At this moment, Su Li was building a wall while listening to Qi Zhi's incessant chatter on the walkie-talkie.
Occasionally, Lin Dong and Huang Keke would chime in with a few words, but Qi Zhi did most of the talking.
"I overheard the Civil Affairs Department say the other day that the base now has over 50,000 residents, including more than 10,000 survivors from outside Tongcheng!"
"The base is clearing out the mutated creatures quite quickly. The mutated creatures here at the base and in the west of the city have been almost completely cleared out. The base plans to open a new base there, and then gradually expand both sides and eventually merge them!"
"Have you heard? There's a superhuman in the military who's broken through to level seven! And he has both fire and strength superpowers!"
"I heard that a mutated, devouring type of creature has appeared in Kecheng. Now the entire city of Kecheng is practically overrun by these mutated creatures, and several large bases nearby have sent troops to provide support!"
...
Qi Zhi and Lin Dong were chatting more and more animatedly on the walkie-talkie, while Su Li remained mostly silent but listened attentively.
Now she lives alone, and she has to rely on walkie-talkies with Qi Zhi and a few others at night to get a lot of information.
Finally, it was almost 10 p.m.
Lin Dong, Fang Chen, and Huang Keke had already said goodbye and gone to rest. At this moment, Qi Zhi finally couldn't help but say goodnight to Su Li and also went to sleep.
Su Li straightened up and rubbed a stray hair behind her ear with the back of her hand, looking at the wall in front of her with satisfaction.
The wall is built on the foundation, and a quarter of the wall has already been erected!
With her own efforts, this result is already quite remarkable!
As soon as we stopped moving, the chill at the mountaintop became immediately apparent.
Su Li put all the tools together and turned to call Xuan Qing, but suddenly felt a chill on her face!
She was startled, then looked up and saw the bright light emanating from the incandescent bulb, and tiny snowflakes drifting down from the dark night sky above!
