The villa area matter is basically settled, and Ye Yunyi, Zhao Yong, and Wang Zixiang can operate normally without constantly monitoring it.
Only then did Ye Yunyi and the others take care of their own family matters.
After Zhao Yong and his family arrived, the four parents lived in Building 38, while Ye Yunyi and her six family members lived in Building 37.
Building 38 is unfurnished and not very comfortable to live in, but it has a very important strategic position. First, there is a tunnel connecting Building 37 to the back mountain, which must be guarded to prevent it from being discovered. Second, it is very close to Building 37, so they can look out for each other.
The Flower Curtain Cave on the back mountain has also never been developed or decorated.
Now we can finally put these two things on the agenda.
Ye Yunyi, Zhao Yong, and Wang Zixiang took Ye's father, Ye's mother, Zhao's father, and Zhao's mother out for a trip, letting them choose the furniture and decoration materials they needed.
I heard that they were renovating the house for Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhao, and Xiao Deng and Sun Weihua also helped out. Needless to say, Mr. and Mrs. Ye always treated Xiao Deng like a son, and later they simply took him in as their godson. Sun Weihua said that the furniture was all very bulky and large, so it would be more convenient to drive a big truck, and it would be better for him to drive a truck to load it.
So they set off early in the morning. It was Ye's mother's first time going out since the zombie virus outbreak, but she was also one of the first to face zombies directly, so she wasn't afraid. They brought her parents along mainly to pick out some things they liked.
They went to the shopping mall where they had previously cleared out zombies, bringing back high-quality beds and furniture. They then went to a building materials market to find renovation materials. Because of the stay-at-home orders, the building materials market was relatively deserted, with only a few zombies roaming around. They quickly cleared them out and then moved the necessary materials.
Near the building materials market was a fabric market, so Ye Yunyi went there as well and brought back a lot of fabric. She could use this to make clothes for everyone later.
After finding all the materials needed for the renovation, everyone headed back.
The guard team no longer needed Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong's protection to go out and find supplies on their own. Fortunately, this was the southern suburbs of the city, where there were few people to begin with, and even fewer in the villa area. As long as they didn't run into other people searching for supplies, everyone who went out to find supplies returned safely.
They are currently visiting some nearby markets, which are still dozens of kilometers away from the city center. Therefore, the supplies are relatively plentiful, and they haven't encountered many zombies. The villa area is also barely able to be self-sufficient, so they don't need to go to the city center or the South City Aid Center.
After returning home, everyone helped unload all the things. Ye Yunyi's whole family started to work on renovating Building 38. There were many empty villas in the community, so during the renovation process, they moved to Building 36. Although that was Li Biao's home, they were no longer there, so it wouldn't hurt to stay there for a while.
Ye Yunyi's family has many employees with high salaries, and there isn't much work to be done at the moment. So, Ye Yunyi hired a group of people to do the renovation. Since they were paid, everyone worked very hard, and Building 38 was quickly renovated.
Looking at the renovated home, it was even more luxurious, comfortable, and stylish than Building 37. Indeed, Ye Yunjuan and Zhao Yong had excellent taste; Ye Yunjuan, being an art student, had a better aesthetic sense.
This renovation used high-quality materials, so we don't have to wait too long for the formaldehyde to dissipate; we can move in a few months later.
As the weather gradually turned colder, Ye Yunyi asked Xiao Fang to take stock of the clothes that had been collected earlier. After giving each person one piece of clothing, there were still some left over. So she asked Xiao Fang and her assistant to tally them up and let everyone come and collect their clothes.
Although she's now working independently, when there's no work to do, she still has to ensure basic survival. Ye Yunyi couldn't help but sigh; running a company isn't easy, but managing a country is truly difficult. Because she doesn't just need to make a profit and survive. She must have a public service, stability, development, and ensure everyone survives and thrives. Otherwise, there will be internal strife and rebellion, which is something not everyone can handle.
She finally understands why they've been pushing for domestic economic growth and constantly investing in infrastructure. Right now, the resources they've gathered seem plentiful, but what about long-term development? There will inevitably come a day when they run out, and then everyone will suffer even more than they do now. They say it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. At that point, there will definitely be widespread resentment, with people even saying she's not a good leader. They might beat her senseless, or even kill her. It's terrifying to even think about.
Therefore, ideological and moral education is very important. Everyone needs to understand that this is the end times, resources are limited, and they will definitely become less and less. Everyone needs to be mentally prepared. What they are doing is to ensure that everyone lives longer and to consider long-term development. So, when she has free time, she regularly calls everyone to meetings. This kind of persuasion needs to be subtle and requires a lot of explanation.
Ye Yunyi thinks about food, clothing, and daily necessities all the time. Food can be solved for now, and clothing can last for a few years. But everyday items like toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and paper are non-renewable. So she dug out some videos she had downloaded before, found the methods, and then categorized them and had people make them.
With work, wages, and resources available, everyone felt less anxious. However, Ye Yunyi remained worried; medical care was still a major issue. Currently, they relied on an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the industrial park and the medicinal herbs they collected and cultivated themselves from the mountains behind the park. Minor ailments were manageable, but they were helpless if surgery was needed for an injury. The local hospital was quite far, over 20 kilometers away, which was close to the city, but they hadn't been there yet. However, once the houses were ready, they would organize a trip.
After renovating Building 38, she organized her family to decorate the flower curtain cave on the back mountain.
Only her family knew about this place; even Xiao Deng didn't know. Ye Yunyi always kept a sense of danger in mind.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; don't put all your eggs in one basket. Always leave yourself a way out. Whether you're successful or unsuccessful, never let yourself reach a dead end.
This is also why, despite the shortage of supplies and attacks since the apocalypse, she managed to cope with the situation without suffering any losses.
The Water Curtain Cave on the back mountain was easy to set up. Ye Yunyi and the others installed a door at the entrance of the cave, so that even if someone found it, they could not enter without the key. Inside, they stored daily necessities, including bedding, food and oil, daily necessities, and even moved a generator to provide electricity to the cave.
Even if the worst happens, their family can survive here for a month.
The decoration and arranging of the cave were left to Ye Yunjuan to lead everyone in. Ye Yunyi had no aesthetic sense, so let the professionals do the professional work.
Wang Xuanxuan and Zhao Xixi were especially happy. This was also their secret base. Inside the cave, there was a small cubicle that was exclusively for the two of them, which they decorated themselves.
At the entrance to the cave, the flower curtain still hangs down. It's late autumn now, the flowers have long since faded, and the leaves are not lush, but the vines, even when bare, are still very dense and enough to cover the cave entrance.
Even though people from the villa area came up the mountain many times, no one noticed. Later, when they were able to support themselves, almost no one went up the mountain except for Ye Yunyi's family.
When winter came, the four parents finally moved back to Building 38. They also moved their meals to Building 38. Building 37, on the other hand, had more people living there and was even more deserted.
