Chapter 1346 Building a House



After selecting the address, some procedures were completed.

The next issue is building the house. Since we don't have the materials here, we need to source them from the inner city.

The only way to source goods is through the black market's transport teams, because the black market has monopolized transportation. The main reason is that the people in the inner city are unwilling to do such a thankless task, so this business is given to the black market.

Fortunately, after the black market boss had taken a huge advantage of Lu Yuan, he decided to handle the matter at the original price, which saved Lu Yuan a lot of trouble.

Since no one was competing for the resources, and it was practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal, the black market boss quickly delivered all the materials Lu Yuan needed.

Looking at the piles of sand and pebbles, as well as various bricks, Lu Yuan felt a surge of excitement.

Next, it was time for everyone to take action. However, Lu Yuan looked at the people around him. There were about thirty people in total, all of whom were brothers and sisters who had risked their lives for him before.

If everyone had to do it themselves, the speed would definitely be slower. However, Lu Yuan wasn't too worried. They were exposed to the wind and sun in this place, so they didn't have to worry much because they had dug a cave in it when they came, and they had no problem eating and sleeping there.

The rest was about building the house, and making it more sturdy in the future, so they adopted a very laid-back approach to building it.

The use of concrete and steel reinforcement in the construction is rarely seen in other luxury homes, given the scarcity of steel resources.

But Lu Yuan insisted on using it, so the black market boss had no choice but to help Lu Yuan find it. Finally, after finding all the resources, Lu Yuan's side officially began.

The construction blueprints were designed to meet the standards of a very sturdy six-story bunker.

Furthermore, to ensure their safety, they also built a three-story underground basement to store food and water, and to serve as a temporary refuge.

Lu Yuan didn't stop immediately at the large area next to him. He planned to cultivate this area to grow crops because he still had the formula.

Catalyst ore can still be purchased here. If you want to grow crops here, you basically need to buy catalyst ore.

The price wasn't very expensive, so as soon as construction started, the entire camp became busy.

Although there were only thirty-odd people, Lu Yuan did not intend to look for another one.

So everyone basically did as much as they could each day. Since the days were long, they would rest when they got tired. It was a very laid-back way of building houses, and there was no shortage of food in Lu Yuan's area anyway.

Occasionally, they would need to go into the city pretending to buy goods, which would last a long time. More than thirty people chatted and laughed as they worked for more than a month, and finally all the underground locations of the foundations were completed, and two floors of the above-ground locations had also been built.

In order to make the house look more sturdy and practical, Lu Yuan even went to some factories in the city to customize very expensive coating materials.

These materials are basically a type of film that can block radiation and ultraviolet rays. They were very expensive before the apocalypse, and even more so during the apocalypse. They were so expensive that they were often unavailable, and it was not guaranteed that you could buy them.

Fortunately, the industrial system in the North has been partially preserved, so you can basically buy anything you want, and the high prices don't have any downsides.

After ordering a large batch of materials from the factory, Lu Yuan finally started cultivating his family's land. He cultivated a total of twenty acres of land.

They don't need much land; twenty acres is enough. After all, the grain yield in the dimensional space can generally reach over a thousand catties, which is enough to feed so many people.

The reason Lu Yuan wanted to cultivate twenty acres was actually because he wanted to make money for himself. If it were too simple, it might attract the attention of the people in the inner city.

His plan is to grow some grains here and sell them, including some high-end crops. This will attract the attention of the people in the inner city, and they won't be able to track his movements if he signs contracts.

Another month passed quickly, and the outer structure of the house was completed.

The six-story building stood with a precipice behind it, appearing so sturdy and reliable.

During the day, the sun shines into the courtyard but not into the rooms, so there's no need to worry about the items inside the house aging due to the sun.

At night, the enchanted material on the outside can act as an insulation layer, storing the light absorbed during the day into the room, so it won't be too cold at night.

In addition, since there are no fossil fuel power generation projects such as thermal power generation at this time, wind power and solar power have become the main sources of electricity during this period.

Therefore, Lu Yuan covered the roof with a thick layer of solar panels and also installed some on the nearby cliffs, so that there would be basically no problem with the electricity in their entire house.

Now all that's left is the interior decoration and the furnishing. It took them more than two months to finally finish the exterior.

The remaining parts were painstakingly pieced together, and to everyone's delight, their house was now completed.

They no longer needed to live in a cave. After getting running water, electricity, and all sorts of other things sorted out, the house became very cozy. Lu Yuan felt that even without a bed, it would be quite comfortable to take a nap against the wall.

So, after everyone had their rooms assigned, three floors of the building were left for storage or other purposes.

We've entered the final decoration stage, which is actually quite simple, much easier than building a house. Everyone starts decorating little by little.

Decorating according to one's own preferred style, Lu's father's craftsmanship goes without saying. After so many years, under the influence of various masters, he has also reached the level of a master.

After a month of busy hammering and tinkering in various rooms with a group of people, everyone finally moved into their house. However, this cost Lu Yuan nearly a ton of gold.

That's a ton of gold! So much gold made the wealthy people in the inner city realize how incredibly powerful Lu Yuan's wealth was, and they all started speculating about his identity.

Given the sheer amount of money involved, even if they wanted to take it out, they would have to think it over. Most tycoons wouldn't necessarily be able to easily produce that much gold.
