Chapter 9 Hiring a Snail Master
If it were normal times, even if she played for a month before coming back, Ye Xun would not say much, and would even give her some money so that she could have a good time.
In six days, heavy rain would begin, and it would be difficult to come back, so Ye Xun gave an order, asking her to buy the nearest flight back no matter what.
"If you don't come back within three days, you don't have to come back."
This was the first time Wang Yu heard his cousin speak in this tone, and he immediately gave in and quickly opened the ticket purchasing software to change his ticket.
"Reply, reply, I'll reply right away. There are tickets for tomorrow, and I'll change them now." After completing the operation, he sent a screenshot of the successful ticket change to Ye Xun to prove that he did not lie to him.
Seeing the screenshot, Ye Xun spoke more gently, "Okay, I'll pick you up then. I have something to tell you when we meet."
Wang Yu didn't dare to ask what happened. She only knew that the matter was over. Her cousin's temper came and went quickly, and he was relatively easy to coax.
After the two hung up the phone, Ye Xun drove to Ye's father's place.
Chen Cun's house has been completed. He has asked Ye's mother to stock up on supplies and asked her to keep everything in the basement. He also taught her how to grow vegetables and raise chickens through video on his mobile phone.
I left her a diesel generator and a solar generator. The diesel and bottled mineral water were stored in the basement. When there was no electricity, she could use them. There was no need to save them. The only thing to note was to block the light when using it at night. The supplies I gave her included candles and solar LED lights. I tried to use these two for lighting first.
Now everything is ready, and Father Ye can go to Chencun. Ye Xun has already bought him a plane ticket, the time is 9 o'clock tonight, just enough time for him to sleep on the plane.
He went to Ye's father's place to bring him medicine. Because the medicines he bought at that time were all in the old house and he didn't have time to take them to Chen Village, Ye Xun prepared a suitcase of medicines this time, all of which were commonly used, some disinfectants and antivirals, as well as N95 masks and thermometers.
The airport is quite remote, so Ye Xun drove his father to the airport in advance. Along the way, he repeatedly reminded, "Don't open the door to anyone, and don't secretly send food to others. Disinfect the yard at home frequently after the rainstorm. There are medicines to enhance immunity in the suitcase. You and mom should remember to take them every day. Eat the prepared things as needed. Wang Yu and I will come to find you. You and mom must protect yourselves, understand?"
Listening to his son's mumbling, Father Ye could only nod again and again, saying "I know, I know. Your mother and I will definitely wait for you and Wang Yu to come find us."
He had asked Ye Xun why he didn't go to Chen Village with them but chose to stay in H City.
Ye Xun's answer was, "I only dreamed about the last five years of the apocalypse. I don't know what will happen to me after that. The original population of Xia Country, 1.8 billion, has been reduced to less than 200 million in five years, and in the fifth year, the natural disaster is far from over." When he said this, Ye Xun's voice was a little choked up. For the future of mankind, and even more for his family, "I don't know if the government has any means of evacuation. If so, I want to fight for it for our family. It's not impossible to expose space when necessary."
Humans are social animals. If they hide in a space all their lives, their spirit will collapse sooner or later.
Later, Ye's father didn't ask any more questions, because in his heart, he also wanted to live with everyone.
Before sending Ye's father into the terminal hall, Ye Xun handed him something that looked a bit like a mobile phone.
Ye Xun briefly introduced: "This is a satellite phone. If the communication is cut off, you and mom can use this to contact me. The contact information of several other phones has been recorded in it. Just dial it directly. Don't take it out outside unless it's an emergency."
I don’t know whether satellite phones will malfunction due to solar activity in the future, but Ye Xun believes that by then the family will have been reunited.
After watching Ye's father's back disappear at the entrance of the terminal, Ye Xun went to City S to pick up the car.
After getting all the cars, we first drove them to an uninhabited area in the suburbs and put them in the space. Because the area was so large, it was already three in the morning when we finished putting all the cars away.
During this time, I went to a self-service gas station to fill up my tanks. I easily took out a few gas barrels and filled them up.
The closer we get to the end of the world, the stronger the sense of urgency. At this time, Ye Xun didn't have much money left, only some shares. Without time to sleep, Ye Xun went directly to the stock exchange and sold all his shares at a low price, and then contacted the mercenaries through the original owner of the RV, the rich second generation who was a big enemy.
His requirements were simple: he wanted the strongest and best, price was not an issue, and then he paid a considerable deposit.
Six days later, it started to rain heavily, and after the rain came high temperatures. Ye Xun made sure that the mercenary would never be able to leave once he entered his house.
Food can be used as a reward later. He believes that life in his family may not be the best, but it is definitely much better than that of 95% of the people in the apocalypse.
As the top mercenary group in the industry, the other party respected the privacy of customers very much and did not ask Ye Xun what he was going to do. They only asked for his address and expected time of visit.
Of course he can start work tomorrow, and Ye Xun said that increasing the salary is not a problem.
"My situation is quite urgent. I hope I can come tomorrow if possible."
The other party said he would try his best.
Ye Xun got a satisfactory answer, and did not stay to go to the bank to withdraw money. In the late stage of the rainstorm and the early stage of the extreme heat, money can still be used to buy things, but the prices are relatively high.
There is still 500,000 yuan in the card. If I withdraw all of it, it may seem like a lot, but it will soon depreciate and become a pile of waste paper.
When he got home, Ye Xun was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. Fortunately, there were no traffic police on the road, otherwise he would have been detained for fatigue driving.
After a simple wash and a bite to eat, he fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day at noon, Ye Xun was awakened by the noisy doorbell. He struggled not to get up, but the other party was too persistent. He had no choice but to get up and open the door to see who it was.
Ye Xun, with messy hair and a handsome fair face, stepped on his slippers and went to open the door.
When the door was opened, a tall man in a black uniform was standing outside. From Ye Xun's angle, he could only see the man's Adam's apple.
Ye Xun's height of 179 cm is considered tall in the south, but it only reaches the other person's Adam's apple. The man must be at least 1.9 meters tall.
Damn, what an enviable height.
Just when he was about to ask the other party's purpose, the man spoke, "Hello, are you Mr. Ye Xun? My name is Qin Wei, and I'm from Tianlong." Tianlong is the mercenary group that Ye Xun contacted yesterday.
Coming so soon? No third party knew that he was looking for mercenaries except the Tianlong Group, but it was better to be cautious.
Ye Xun asked: "Is there anything that can prove your identity?"
Qin Wei took out his work permit and ID card from his shirt pocket and handed them to Ye Xun for inspection.
Ye Xun took it without hesitation, examined it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, returned the item, then opened the door and let the other party in.
"The room near the door is for you. The quilts, sheets and bedspreads are all new and can be used directly. The home wireless network is in my name and the password is eight eights. I'm going to take a nap. You can order takeout for dinner and come to me for reimbursement after I wake up." Ye Xun yawned as he walked towards the bedroom. He was so sleepy that he thought he would talk about other things after he woke up.
The bedroom door was slammed shut and there was also the sound of it being locked.
Before entering the house, Qin Wei was already amazed at the sturdy explosion-proof door in the house. The most exaggerated thing was what happened inside. The tempered glass, explosion-proof net, enclosed balcony, solar generator, and potted plants in the living room made it look like a safe house.
The cabinets in the house were probably filled with supplies, if he guessed correctly.
Thinking back to how Ye Xun looked just now, he was white and tender, with red marks on his face from sleeping. He would probably cry for a long time if he got punched. Qin Wei didn't know if it was influenced by the apocalyptic game novels or if something was really going to happen, but he could judge by observing Ye Xun and the abnormal weather. If there was really a disaster, he could let his family prepare as soon as possible.
With nothing to do for the time being, Qin Wei sat on the bed in his bedroom, opened the food delivery app, and ordered some daily necessities.
When he received this order, he had just finished his previous mission and wanted to take a vacation. This mission was the easiest in Tianlong, but it took a long time and there was no accurate completion time, so no one took it, so the people below naturally came to him.
There is little work and a lot of pay. Although the task cycle is long, it is just right for a vacation. The environment here is not bad. Except that the employer has apocalyptic paranoia, it may not be a delusion.
The neighborhood is in a good location, in a prosperous urban area, and the takeaway arrived very quickly, taking only 20 minutes from ordering to receiving it.
Qin Wei hung up the brand new towels and bath towels, and placed the toiletries neatly on the shelf on the sink, as well as the slippers. After changing into them, he placed his shoes in the shoe cabinet in the entrance.
I came here after lunch, so I didn't need to solve the problem of eating for the time being. Qin Wei walked around and got to know the layout of the house. There were also things planted in the foam boxes, which were all daily vegetables, easy to grow, and not very demanding on the climate.
In addition to his and Ye Xun's room, there were two bedrooms. He did not go in to see them. People in their line of work had to respect their employer's privacy. But judging from the condition of the entire house, at least one of the two rooms stored a lot of supplies.
Although there are still five days until the end of the world, the weather has turned cloudy. Since the day Ye Xun sent his father to the airport, the sun has not appeared.
It was already evening when Ye Xun woke up. The room was dim without lights on, and his stomach protested from not eating for a day.
Before opening the door, his groggy mind began to work. Now that there were other people at home, Bal could no longer be kept in the space.
After releasing Bal from the space, Ye Xun opened the door.
The tightly closed door opened, and the aroma of food from the kitchen almost made Ye Xun feel dizzy.
At this time, the only ones who can use the kitchen are his own expensive mercenaries.
Oh my god, did you find a snail master by the way? It smells so good!
