When Gu Mingchi brought his people to Shuguang, he also felt that this place was so out of tune with the outside world.
It was very similar to the fairy tale his grandfather read to him when he was a child, about the princess in the ivory tower, who was well protected and unaware of the dangers outside.
He did not go in, but called Consul Hou to explain the matter:
"These little monkeys are young and love to get into trouble. You should keep a close eye on them. If there is nothing going on, don't go out of the way to see Shuguang, and don't bother Taoyang next door. If you have any problems, just come to me directly."
Consul Hou agreed and couldn't help asking:
"Boss, are you really not coming to Shuguang with us? We have extra beds. If not, we can make an eight-person room just for you. Nowhere is as safe as Taoyang right now. You can't just think about these children and not your own safety."
Gu Mingchi snorted lightly: "I'm not a child who needs protection like those children. I believe that the brothers who stayed outside with me are not either. We are not scared by the evolved zombies and the new beast with a tail. You don't have to worry about it."
Consul Hou knew his boss's awkward personality and didn't say much, but he couldn't help feeling worried and guilty. His boss was fighting outside, while he was hiding in a safe zone with a group of children.
Gu Mingchi waved his hand: "Alright, wait until the kids are all here, then you can lead them in."
The teenagers who got off the bus one after another exclaimed when they saw this, their eyes shining. If it weren't for Boss Gu, they would have squeezed in to find out what was going on.
Especially the youngest one, Jiao Haopeng.
He is just ten years old this year. When he was eight years old, he followed a group of survivors to beg and was picked up by Brother Huisui who was passing by. Since then, he has been living in the old station with his brothers and sisters who have had the same experience. He studies and does odd jobs in the old station. Although sometimes he does not have enough to eat and his quality of life is not good, his life safety is guaranteed and he can live a stable life - until Boss Gu broke up with the old station.
They had to leave the old station and wander around for a long time in pickup trucks. They tried to seize other people's land several times, winning and losing, but in the end they could not stay there for long.
Jiao Haopeng looked at the brand new "Shuguang Building" with his eyes full of longing and yearning.
Brother Huishu said that each of them would have a separate bed and would not have to sleep in a large bunk bed, and there would only be eight people in a room.
Just as they were daydreaming, Consul Hou asked them to stand in line and listen to the boss's lecture with a stern face.
Gu Mingchi waved his hand: "There are not so many rules, go ahead."
The teenagers were allowed to rush in.
Because Jiao Haopeng was young, he was specially taken care of by Consul Hou and rushed in first. When he saw the various vending machines on both sides of the yard selling food, drinks and everything else, he opened his eyes wide with excitement.
He followed a group of older teenagers and trotted over to look at the glass of the bento refrigerator. There were black pepper beef rice, omelet rice, sausage fried rice, and chicken cutlet rice. Just looking at the names made his mouth water.
There is also a self-service beverage machine next to it, with milk, cola, Sprite, and juice.
Jiao Haopeng had only heard of these drinks, but had never seen them, let alone tasted them. He almost stuffed his face into the drink machine.
Consul Hou was also amazed. He had heard before that there were all kinds of vending machines in Taoyang, and almost everything sold before the end of the world could be bought on the machines. Today, he saw that it was indeed the case, and the prices were not expensive. No wonder so many people were trying their best to live in Taoyang.
"Alright, kids, go to your respective dormitories and pack your things as arranged yesterday. Meet at the underground training ground in half an hour."
The young men responded loudly, their clear and crisp shouts full of youthful vitality.
Jiao Haopeng's dormitory was on the first floor, and he was very familiar with his seven other roommates. Everyone ran around the dormitory excitedly for a long time, and someone even asked what the two large machines on the balcony were for.
Everyone crowded onto the balcony to watch.
The oldest boy in the dormitory thought for a moment and said:
"It's a washing machine, right? The one above is probably a dryer. I heard it was commonly used by people before the apocalypse."
Someone asked curiously: "Isn't that very expensive?"
Things before the end of the world were basically all related to the word "expensive" and were very rare.
Jiao Haopeng said, "Of course, it looks new. We have it in our dormitory, so maybe other dormitories have it too? How much does it cost?"
After being reminded by him, the teenagers all exclaimed: "The boss of Taoyang is really rich."
The oldest boy started to worry about his boss:
"Did Boss Gu spend a lot of money on this? We are really useless. We can't help and we are just holding things back."
Everyone went from excitement to silence, and finally cheered up again: "Let's train hard, there will be a day when we can be used!"
Consul Hou was very pleased when he heard these words at the door. He left quietly and found Gu Mingchi and said:
"They are all good children. When you first took the first child home, I disagreed. Now that I think about it, you have a long-term vision. They will all be the pillars of our East District in the future."
Gu Mingchi nodded: "I actually hope that while I'm here, I'll never need them."
Consul Hou was deeply touched.
Gu Mingchi didn't care:
"You go and see the kids. I'm going back. The East District is in a lot of trouble right now. I can't be away for too long. Oh, and find a chance to secretly send Zhong Gaoyi back to Taoyang. Don't let Su Tao's people notice."
After all, Zhong Gaoyi is no longer his man now.
He didn't even say hello to Su Tao and asked people to work in the middle of the night, which was not very good for his reputation.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded behind them:
"Boss Gu, this is too much trouble. There's no need to do it secretly."
