Mr. Mei gave Su Tao another stack of drawings.
Su Tao took a closer look and found that it was actually some details, such as how the two apartment buildings and the cafeteria were connected. The connecting place was made into a terrace, which made it convenient for everyone to reach the cafeteria directly from the apartment building, greatly reducing the distance.
Su Tao was overwhelmed with emotion and praised:
"This terrace is really nice. When summer comes, we can have a party on it."
Mei Lao laughed: "If conditions permit, you can also get some stoves. People before the end of the world liked to camp. They would set up stoves to grill skewers and then get a speaker. They could eat, listen to music and chat. What a life..."
He sighed deeply, his face full of memories.
Su Tao couldn't help but let her imagination run wild as he said, and she felt even more longing in her heart.
"Once you build the terraced corridor, I'll draw you a detailed map of the small park in the central area."
Su Tao agreed: "Okay."
"By the way, I want to use a quota, but I can't find the person right away, so it might take some time."
Su Tao said: "It's okay, who are you looking for? Maybe I can help."
Mei Hongyi smiled bitterly and said, "It's an old friend of mine from many years ago, Wu Jianyi. He should be 72 years old this year. Before the apocalypse, he was an outstanding architect and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was the director of the Capital University Environmental Research Center. I lost contact with him 13 years after the apocalypse. The last time I heard from him, I knew he was at the Shou'an Base."
Keep safe.
Su Tao knew that this base was not far from Dongyang, and it would only take about a day and a half to drive there.
She nodded and said, "I'll ask my friends for you."
This friend is of course Shi Zijin. He is the only one among the pioneers who can leave the base and is more familiar with the situation outside.
Mei Hongyi sighed with emotion: "My old friend is not as lucky as me. Who knows where he is suffering now. Of course, it is also possible that Tao Yatou died first. If it weren't for you, I don't think my old bones would last for a few more years."
He had a broken leg, couldn't eat or sleep well, and was constantly verbally abused and mistreated by his son and daughter-in-law. If he had met Su Tao a few years later, he might have committed suicide.
In this end of the world, in this life, it’s better not to live in disgrace.
Su Tao smiled and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
In the middle of the night, night owl Su Tao came out to work on the construction again.
But as poor as she was, she had squandered all the money in her small treasury until only more than 10,000 federal coins were left. She had only laid the foundation for the office building and completed the exterior design before she ran out of money.
Not to mention building terraces and corridors.
There really isn't a drop left.
Su Tao wanted to cry but had no tears.
She also discovered that she might really have no aesthetic taste, as the office building she built looked like two shoe boxes stacked on top of each other.
Forget it, let’s wait until the new tenant moves in and pays the money tomorrow.
The next day, Su Tao and Guan Zining went to pick up Chenxi from the hospital.
After observing them for a night and finding no signs of wound inflammation or blindness, the hospital notified them to be discharged to make room for other patients.
There is no way. Dongyang’s hospital is indeed a bit small for a base with a population of nearly 60,000.
Chenxi, with a dumpling-like hair, carefully took Zhuang Wan's hand and went downstairs. Seeing Su Tao, she happily called out, "Sister Taozi!"
Su Tao quickly stopped her: "Don't shout, you'll hurt the wound."
Chenxi hissed, but still laughed heartlessly.
Zhuang Wan was helpless, but her expression couldn't hide her fatigue and worry. The big scar on her daughter's face might accompany her for the rest of her life.
At this moment, a man suddenly strode towards them in the noisy hospital lobby, his face full of anger:
"I finally waited for you! Where's my dad? Where did you take him?"
The personal bodyguard Guan Zining pulled out his gun and said, "Back off, or if the gun goes off and hits you, I won't be responsible."
Mei Xingxian was shocked and took a step back, thinking that this woman was probably the person with a gun who looked like a military officer that the pig woman mentioned.
He said timidly, "I don't care who you are, but you've taken my father away, don't you have to give an explanation? It's been twenty years since the apocalypse, and we in Dongyang have laws. What's your intention in arbitrarily arresting and detaining people?"
Everyone in the hall looked over.
Mei Xingxian seemed to be encouraged and complained loudly:
"I was only out for two or three days, and when I came back I heard that my 75-year-old father was kidnapped by these women. Everyone knows about Taoyang's recent recruitment of planners, right?! My father was a famous planner before the apocalypse. These people must have known my father's abilities and kidnapped him in exchange for the benefits Taoyang promised!"
"It's pitiful that he has to be coerced at such an old age. As his son, I feel so sad. I haven't had a good night's sleep these days."
Zhuang Wan now knew who he was. After hearing his heartbreaking words that confused right and wrong, her lips trembled with anger.
There were whispers all around:
"These women look familiar? Are they from Taoyang?"
"Somewhat. I looked through the photos of Taoyang that were released last time, and they should be in them."
"The younger one seems to be the boss of Taoyang."
"No way, is that such a coincidence? Before, quite a few people joked about wanting to stop her and ask for a place to live, haha."
Mei Xingxian naturally heard these words as well and stood there in a daze for a moment.
Guan Zining quickly put Su Tao's hat on her and said, "Your identity is sensitive."
Su Tao nodded, comforted Zhuang Wan and the two children, and said to Guan Zining, "There are too many people here. Take him out."
Guan Zining put away his gun and carried Mei Xingxian out like a chicken.
The difference between a psychic and an ordinary person is not just whether they have psychic powers or not, but also their physical fitness is also at a crushing level.
Zhuang Wan took a deep breath and followed her out with her two children.
Guan Zining carried the man to a secluded place and threw him on the ground.
Mei Xingxian subconsciously rolled and crawled to run away. Chen Yang, who was standing beside him, cleverly stretched out a leg. Mei Xingxian fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, chewing a mouthful of dirt and knocking out a tooth on the spot.
After this fall, my mind became clear again.
The old man wasn't kidnapped, but was taken away directly by people from Taoyang?
So the person who Taoyang announced as the planner recruited a while ago was his father?
Why didn't the old man come to see him?
What about those three places?
Wouldn't it be possible for me to escape from this stinking ditch-like residence sooner?
Mei Xingxian's thoughts were in a mess. He was scared and excited at the same time. He didn't care about his knocked out teeth or the blood in his mouth.
Su Tao squatted down and asked him: "Do you want me to take you to find your father? He is living well and eating well in Taoyang now. He also told us that none of the three places will be given to you."
Mei Xingxian was a little scared when he heard that they were from Taoyang, afraid that his lie would be exposed. But when he heard that the old man was so cruel, he suddenly got angry, his eyes red:
"Why wouldn't he give it to me? I'm his son! He has no other relatives besides me, no one else is related to him by blood! If he doesn't want to give it to me, does he want to give it to someone else?!"
