Chapter 22 Get
Qiao Yu leaned back quietly for a while, wondering if there was anything he had missed. Suddenly, he remembered the "cage house" in the back mountain. "Oh, right, Zhan, when the survivor base was first established in the early days of the apocalypse, everything was not perfect. Some even had to go through several relocations before their final location was determined. So, at the beginning, it's best for us to stay here for a while. However, in this case, we may need to strengthen the defense measures of the main house. I think the design of the house in the back mountain is good. They can use steel plates and electric grids, and then use tempered glass to make windows..."
When Jiang Zhan heard her mention the house on the back mountain, his breath was held and his body suddenly became stiff. He didn't know how to start.
No one knew that house better than him.
That was the "golden cage" he carefully prepared for Qiao Yu.
He had already made up his mind that if Qiao Yu still refused to acknowledge the engagement after her 20th birthday, he would lock her up and make sure that he was the only one in her life from now on.
If she resisted or escaped, he would take her with him to death.
For someone as terminally ill as him, Qiao Yu must either save him or go to hell with him.
Jiang Zhan never felt that what he did was wrong. He just wanted to be with Qiao Yu forever, whether in life or death.
But Cheng Sinian said that if Qiao Yu knew, she would definitely be scared.
He finally got Qiao Yu...
Qiao Yu noticed Jiang Zhan's silence and looked up at him. Seeing that he was tense and looked as if he was facing a great enemy, she couldn't help but laugh. She stretched her neck and kissed his lips. A sly look flashed in her eyes and she chuckled, "Zhan, why are you silent?"
Jiang Zhan's breathing was a little disordered, and his face no longer had the gentle smile from before. He let go of Qiao Yu's hand with a gloomy look, not daring to look at her. He looked like a child who had done something wrong, but was stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake.
Qiao Yu was amused by him. She turned his face over with both hands so that it was facing her. Then she put her forehead against his and said softly, "I saw it, but I'm still here, right? Ah Zhan, what are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhan finally looked into her eyes. There was no fear or hatred in her beautiful eyes. He could see the trust and love in them.
Jiang Zhan couldn't believe it, but he couldn't resist the temptation. He felt a warmth in his heart and immediately hugged her again, holding her lips and giving her a long kiss. It wasn't until his body began to swell again that he restrained himself and changed the subject in a hoarse voice, "Um...you just said you wanted to reinforce the outer wall?"
"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded, and became interested again. "It just so happens that the main house is not too far from the main gate. We can use electric fences, steel plates and tempered glass to fence off both sides of the road from the main house to the main gate and the sky above. After all, we don't just have to guard against alien species, we also have to guard against people. However, the power grid may need solar panels to generate electricity. After the apocalypse, there will be almost no other power source besides fuel generators and solar energy."
The Jiang family mansion enjoys a prime location, nestled against Yunming Mountain and perched atop it. While not particularly high, it boasts a sparse population. When the apocalypse arrives, the less people there are, the safer it is. However, sparsely populated areas can also be easily discovered by fleeing intruders. After the apocalypse, people's moral consciousness is shallow, and they'll do anything to survive, so we have to be on guard.
After a brief pause, Qiao Yu continued, "As for the servants, you should take some time to send them all home. The apocalypse is coming soon, and they can't help us here. On the contrary, it will easily arouse suspicion. Let them go back early, and then find a reason to let them stock up on some things. Maybe they will have a better life after the apocalypse."
Jiang Zhan stroked her long hair and agreed to everything.
Qiao Yu smiled, then gently rubbed his hand according to his strength, and continued: "And Cheng Sinian, have you told him?"
The hand that was stroking her long hair paused, and Jiang Zhan's eyes suddenly became a little gloomy, and he did not answer.
Qiao Yu waited for a while but didn't hear Jiang Zhan's response, so she looked up at him, only to see a gloomy look on his face. "Zhan, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Zhan was silent for a while, his expression still uncertain. "You care about him a lot?"
"Huh?" Qiao Yu was stunned and looked him in the eyes seriously. "Are you...jealous? Jealous of Cheng Sinian?"
Jiang Zhan remained silent, as if tacitly agreeing with what she said, which made Qiao Yu burst out laughing.
Jiang Zhan looked at her quietly and smiled without saying a word.
Although Jiang Zhan's face remained expressionless, Qiao Yu looked into his eyes and inexplicably felt that they were filled with grievance. So she touched his face and said softly, "What are you thinking about? Cheng Sinian is your best friend. I only care about him because of you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhan tightened his grip on her arms and rested his chin on the top of her head, preventing her from seeing the madness spreading in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about others. Just care about me."
Qiao Yu chuckled again, put her arm around his waist, snuggled up to him obediently, and said along with him: "Okay, I don't care about him. It's enough for you to care about him. I only care about you."
Jiang Zhan didn't say anything else, just buried his face in her long hair, and the tip of his nose was filled with the sweet fragrance of her hair.
He couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction in his heart.
He was once a beast devoured by evil. He walked alone in darkness, facing judgment in hell. But she emerged from the light, bearing a sharp blade, and severed the string that bound his neck. She was his treasure, his only salvation.
Years of wishful thinking came true. The moon truly fell into his arms.
The next morning, Jiang Zhan really sent all the servants home.
The number of patients in hospitals has increased dramatically recently. The country has issued an infectious virus warning and established a special disease research team, calling on people to go out as little as possible and have fewer gatherings. Sending the servants back at this time will not arouse suspicion.
After the servants left, reinforcement work began on the main house. Jiang Zhan adopted Qiao Yu's plan, enclosing the narrow, straight cobblestone path leading from the main house to the main gate with thickened and elevated steel plates. A small, square window, fitted with tempered glass, was carved into the steel plate at the main gate, allowing for easy viewing. Several layers of electrical grids were added above the steel plates, and solar panels were installed on the roof, providing both household and mains electricity. This provided protection from both aliens and humans, significantly increasing safety.
In the following days, Qiao Yu was responsible for staying in Jiang's house to supervise the work, while Jiang Zhan still went out early and came back late, but every day when he came back, he would give Qiao Yu a large amount of supplies, and then energetically push Qiao Yu onto the bed.
Men who have just started having sex are truly terrifying. Thanks to the fruit water, Qiao Yu was able to recover quickly every day. But it was also because of the fruit water that Jiang Zhan became even more reckless. Now, every day when Qiao Yu woke up, he would regret his impulsive sacrifice while chugging the fruit water with a sore back.
