Chapter 369 Dreaming
After separating from Chu Wanfu and the others, Jin Feng and the other two rode electric bikes, stepped on the accelerator, and shot off into the evening breeze like an arrow shot from a bow.
On their right was an extremely spacious square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the center stood a very conspicuous high-definition screen on which photos of unfamiliar faces were constantly scrolling.
"Missing person notice." Zhang Haisheng muttered to himself. The evening breeze suddenly became scorching hot, burning his throat dry and his mood suddenly became heavy.
He squeezed the brake, propped himself up on one leg, pulled out a notebook from his pocket, turned to a new page, and wrote: Resort Hotel - What I Saw and Heard on Lidai Island...
The other side.
After sending everyone away, Chu Wanfu took Jiang Li and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, they appeared at the door of the private villa.
In front of me is also a fine sandy beach, and a wooden sign next to it reads the name of the island owner - Chu Wanfu.
Jiang Li was obviously a little dazed when she suddenly moved to a new place. She looked at the huge island opposite. Under the setting sun, it was coated with a layer of light orange, with several small light spots flashing in it, which was very dazzling.
She took off her glasses, took out a thin cloth from her pocket, wiped them clean bit by bit, and put them back on her nose.
This time she saw clearly that it was the light reflected from people's smiling teeth.
"Teacher Jiang, would you like to take a look at the villa?" Chu Wanfu asked softly.
She looked away and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Li ignored the luxurious decoration of the villa in front of her, but became interested in the various collected instruments placed inside.
He was also careful to put a dust cover on it.
"I didn't expect General Chu would collect these medical devices," she said. "Unfortunately, the conditions are not right now and they can't be used."
Chu Wanfu brewed some tea and walked out, looking at the CT machine beside her. He smiled and said, "It's not well-equipped, but if it comes in handy one day, it won't be all in vain."
Although these things are placed in the hospital, no one would deliberately damage them.
But after all, these are high-cost precision instruments that need maintenance every once in a while. If they are left unused for too long, the machines will be scrapped directly, just like those in the local hospital. He doesn't need to send people to dismantle them. These machines in front of him were stored in the space by the soldiers at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Chu Wanfu handed over the tea.
Jiang Li thanked him and sighed slightly: "Your idea is good, but if the electricity problem is not solved, these will just be a pile of useless and heavy scrapped machines."
Chu Wanfu was stunned for a moment and looked down at the steaming tea.
"Teacher Jiang, I've been so busy chatting that I haven't introduced the villa to you properly. Please come over here—"
He motioned Jiang Li to follow him to the kitchen.
Jiang Li wanted to refuse. She didn't understand why Chu Wanfu would waste his time on useless things. Instead of looking at an empty kitchen, she might as well go to the supermarket he mentioned.
But then I thought, based on my understanding of him, he rarely does useless work.
Jiang Li put away her thoughts and walked into the kitchen. At first glance, she said, "Not bad, very spacious, with all the pots and pans you need."
Chu Wanfu: "These are all provided by Boss Xia, Teacher, I'll add some more water for you."
"I'll do it myself. By the way, who exactly is this Boss Xia--" Jiang Liwan refused his outstretched hand, placed the teacup under the water spout, and tapped the button lightly with her fingers.
“Beep—”
The boiling hot water flows down, falls on the stretched tea leaves, and rolls up and down.
"—Just now at the hot pot restaurant, I wanted to ask you, she looks so young, how come she has so many supplies?"
Jiang Li picked up the teacup, and mist-like steam floated in the air in a slightly curved arc as she moved. When she lowered her eyes, she could feel the hot air on her eyelids.
She blew away the tea leaves, took a sip, and it burned her mouth.
Freshly boiled water is still hot.
Wait, freshly boiled?
Jiang Li suddenly realized something and opened her eyelids to look at the button she had just pressed.
The three words "Water Outlet Key" and the three wave patterns representing high temperature are lit in red.
Look at the other buttons next to it, they are all lit!
"Not enough water, add more water."
An inorganic electronic sound came from inside the machine, followed by a small sound of pumping water, and the small screen next to the button showing the water level gradually rose.
Jiang Li put down the cup, with disbelief on her face, and quickly walked to the sink. When her hand was about to touch the switch, she stopped and took a deep breath.
Then reopen it again.
A stream of clear, odorless water gushed out!
Jiang Li took half a step back.
The clean, transparent water swirled a few times in the sink and flowed down the drain that was emitting a cold light.
She slammed the faucet shut again, a look of regret on her face.
She quickly turned her head around and almost ran to the refrigerator door. She pulled it open and the small light on the top lit up, followed by the small sound of the refrigerator running.
Chu Wanfu lowered his eyes and drank tea. In the silent space, he could hear Teacher Jiang's rapid breathing.
Jiang Li pressed the switch lightly with trembling hands.
“Pah.”
The light in the kitchen came on.
"Pah-pah."
The light went out and then came back on with a slightly yellowish glow.
Chu Wanfu put down his teacup and said gently, "Teacher, your question has puzzled me for a long time, and even now I still don't understand it, but after being with her for so long, I have some understanding of it.
Compared to those unscrupulous villains, her presence can indeed save more survivors, and even benefit us—giving us more opportunities to breathe and rebuild.”
Jiang Li turned off the lights again.
Perhaps it was due to the stimulation of the bright light, but at this moment I felt that the kitchen was a little dark.
She closed her eyes, a trace of light still lingering on her eyelids. Then, her voice, once again calm, rang out, "I understand the difficulty of your decision, but I'm more curious: how many hours a day are water and electricity provided?"
She admitted that her emotions had been high all day, her nerves were weak, and coupled with the various shocks along the way, she had not noticed that there was water and electricity in the villa.
Even when pressing the button, I subconsciously think that this is a very normal thing. After all, I have been doing this action for decades in peacetime, and it has long become muscle memory.
"No, teacher," Chu Wanfu shook his head, "there is always water and electricity."
"What?!"
She had been able to keep her composure before, but when she heard these words, her suppressed emotions suddenly burst out and she could no longer hold back and jumped up.
"What did you just say? Water and electricity are always available?"
"Yes, and the charges are very reasonable." Chu Wanfu ruthlessly threw down the second heavy item.
"Oh my God." Jiang Li felt that golden stars suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, spinning in circles and making her dizzy. It was as if a large basin of water was poured into her ears, and the ears buzzed, blocking out the outside sounds.
In a trance, she slowly heard the rustling sound coming from the deepest part.
She must be dreaming.
