Mou Xuan hung up the phone, his brows slightly furrowed. The mysterious voice cast a shadow over his heart.
But he quickly put his doubts aside. Now was not the time to think about it.
He looked around. This land, which was about to become his doomsday fortress, could not afford any mistakes.
His face became serious, and his originally relaxed expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme seriousness.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning every inch of the surrounding land.
The people around him were also affected by his sudden change, and the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Engineer Lin, check the foundation again and make sure it is foolproof!" Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.
Engineer Lin nodded quickly, and his originally relaxed pace became cautious.
He knew that Boss Mou was no pushover. From the way he dealt with the bully Liang, it was clear that he was definitely a ruthless person.
Everyone held their breath and began the final exploration work.
Mou Xuan picked up the tools himself and took care of every detail himself, down to every brick and every screw.
His figure stood out in the crowd, like a precision machine, operating meticulously.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of metal friction broke the silence.
"What's going on?" Mou Xuan stopped what he was doing, frowned, and his eyes swept towards the source of the sound like a knife.
Not far away, several workers were looking at the exploration tools in their hands with embarrassment. Those originally sturdy metal parts were now damaged to varying degrees, obviously caused by human destruction.
"Fuck, who is so wicked?" A worker couldn't help but swear, obviously realizing that something was wrong.
Mou Xuan's face suddenly darkened, and a fire of rage burned in his chest.
This is by no means an accident!
This is the work of those unwilling guys who are doing this behind the scenes.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and his knuckles began to turn white.
He had worked so hard to take over this territory, so how could he allow others to run wild here?
"It seems that some people still refuse to give up!" Mou Xuan sneered, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
He glanced around. There was a suffocating tension in the air.
He slowly raised his head, a hint of ambiguous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, his eyes looked straight at the distant mountains and forests, and he murmured in a low voice: "Interesting..."
Engineer Lin shrank his neck and subconsciously took a step back.
It’s over, it’s over, Boss Mou looks like he’s going to lose his temper!
He had already started thinking about how to clear himself of the blame. After all, he had no idea that the tools were damaged!
The workers around were also silent, not daring to make a sound, for fear that they would become Mou Xuan's punching bag.
However, the expected outrage did not occur.
Mou Xuan just glanced around coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through people.
Then, he even sneered, "It's just a trifle."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?
Boss Mou didn’t get angry?
Is this the calm before the storm?
Mou Xuan looked around and his eyes fell on a pile of rubble not far away.
He strode over, bent down to pick up a stone of suitable shape, weighed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Engineer Lin, help me find some strong vines." Mou Xuan said without raising his head.
Engineer Lin was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and ran quickly to look for vines.
The others were also confused, but when they saw Mou Xuan so calm, they gradually calmed down and started to help collect materials.
Mou Xuan's movements were smooth and fluid. He used a sharp stone to cut the vines into suitable lengths, and then skillfully weaved them together. In a short while, a simple yet sturdy exploration tool was made.
"Oh my god, this is amazing!" a worker couldn't help but exclaimed.
The others also nodded, looking at Mou Xuan with eyes full of admiration.
This person is not a boss at all; he is simply a survival expert!
Mou Xuan continued his exploration work with his homemade tools, as if the previous incident had never happened.
His calmness gradually eased the originally tense atmosphere.
At this moment, Guo Shanmin suddenly pointed to a forest in the distance and said solemnly, "Boss Mou, look over there..."
The direction that Guo Shanmin pointed was a seemingly ordinary forest, but Mou Xuan keenly sensed something strange.
The tree's growth direction is slightly unnatural, and its branches and leaves are sparser than those of the surrounding trees.
His heart tightened and an ominous premonition came over him.
"Let's go and take a look." Mou Xuan said in a deep voice and took the lead to walk towards the woods.
Everyone followed closely behind, and the atmosphere became solemn again.
Engineer Lin was so frightened that his face turned pale. He followed Mou Xuan closely, afraid of falling behind.
When he got closer, Mou Xuan discovered that there was a hidden underground river under the forest!
Although the sound of flowing water in the underground river is not loud, it is particularly clear in the silent woods.
"Fuck, this is too bad!" A worker couldn't help but complain, "If the end of the world comes and the foundation collapses, won't we be finished?"
Mou Xuan frowned. This was indeed a tricky problem.
The existence of underground rivers will seriously affect the stability of the safe house and may even cause the entire safe house to collapse.
"Don't panic." Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, trying to keep himself calm.
He closed his eyes, concentrated, and activated his time ability.
The surrounding scene began to rapidly recede, trees grew rapidly, and a dark river gradually formed...
Mou Xuan saw the past of this land, as well as the direction of the underground river and the changing patterns of the water flow.
"So that's how it is." Mou Xuan opened his eyes and a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He has found a solution.
"Engineer Lin, you take some people there..." Mou Xuan told Engineer Lin his plan. After hearing it, an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on the latter's face. He nodded quickly and started to get busy with the workers.
Everyone worked together and followed Mou Xuan's instructions and quickly solved the problem of the underground river.
The atmosphere around them also became relaxed, and everyone was full of admiration for Mou Xuan's wisdom and ability.
Just when Mou Xuan thought everything had been resolved and was ready to officially start work, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Mou, there is an emergency..." An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "The local government suddenly wants to replan this area..."
Mou Xuan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He held the phone tightly and uttered two words in a cold tone: "Reason."
