“I know you trade antiques everywhere, although I don’t know what you want them for, but you should be interested in this.”
"I'll exchange these for a shipping container."
Sun Wei opened the box in his hand, and even Zhou Pin, who had seen a lot of the world, couldn't help but gasp.
The largest item in the box was a set of phoenix coronet and embroidered robes. It was a genuine phoenix coronet, the kind used by empresses in ancient times.
Besides the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, there are also various hairpins, jade bracelets, jade ruyi, pearls, agate, gemstones, and so on.
“My family had an empress in our ancestry, and this is her property,” Sun Wei said.
With just a few words, Xu Lin knew how precious this thing was. It was just a pity that it was the end of the world, so she could only keep it as a memento, and it would take up space when she fled.
However, this phoenix coronet and wedding gown still deeply moved Xu Lin.
"Can."
Seeing Xu Lin's fondness for the phoenix coronet and wedding gown, Zhou Pin readily agreed.
Xu Lin turned to look at Zhou Pin, who gave her a reassuring look.
"Let's pack up first, and we'll hand over the work in half an hour," Zhou Pin said to Sun Wei.
“Okay, let’s go back and pack our things. We’ll move the boards there later.” Sun Wei pointed to a location.
The place Sun Wei mentioned was more than ten meters away from Xu Lin's container, right on the flat ground that Xu Lin had cleared. It was not far from them, but it maintained a sense of distance. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin had no objections.
Zhou Pin took Xu Lin back to the container.
“Sun Wei didn’t even ask us how the containers were transported to the top of the mountain,” Xu Lin said.
“Sun Wei is a smart man. He won’t ask too many questions. Even if he knows we have a problem, he won’t say it.”
“We don’t need to change,” Xu Lin said again.
“Since you like it, switch it back,” Zhou Pin said.
"The boards we provided were only enough for one prefabricated house; giving them to them would leave us short of supplies," Xu Lin said.
“It’s okay, we can take out more planks from the container, or hide the container elsewhere,” Zhou Pin reminded.
Seeing Zhou Pin's insistence, and considering that Xu Lin really liked the outfit, the two began packing their things.
Since they planned to be neighbors with Sun Wei, they couldn't expose their equipment. So, while Sun Wei and his team were moving things out, the two of them took out the container.
Transporting the boards to the designated location is a challenge; Xu Lin can't simply put them into her spatial storage and then release them again. So, this is where human ingenuity comes in.
Zhou Pin then brought over a pulley system, and together with Sun Wei, they secured the board and slowly moved it using the pulley until it was placed in the position Sun Wei had indicated.
Zhou Pin also helped Sun Wei set it up, and Li Jingjing gave them two jars of honey as a thank you.
Xu Lin found it pleasant to get along with them; the relationship was close yet respectful. This was another reason why she was willing to exchange prefabricated houses with them.
After finishing their work, it was already evening. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin returned to the container to eat, and Sun Wei's family of three also moved into the prefabricated house.
The fact that Sun Wei and his family of three live here means that the two of them will no longer be able to freely enter and exit the space, but having neighbors also brings a sense of community.
The two women never intended to eliminate Sun Wei and his family of three. On one hand, they were not murderers, and Sun Wei had not done anything heinous. On the other hand, the apocalypse was a catastrophe for humanity, and as fellow human beings, they should work together instead of killing each other.
Only when all of humanity unites to fight against natural disasters can humanity continue to thrive and multiply.
