The upstairs offices had been converted into bedrooms by these people. Skinny Monkey led them to the innermost room by the window.
He pushed open the door and said, "This room is near the window, so it gets quite cold in winter."
No one has lived here for a while. The temperature is just right now, and there's a separate balcony around the corner with a bed and all sorts of things. You can stay here for now.
"Okay, thank you, thank you for your trouble." Xiao Lingfeng said politely, letting Jian Ning go in first. He waited for the skinny monkey to leave, then looked around the corridor outside. The location was excellent, offering a panoramic view of the distant streets.
His eyesight was excellent; he glanced outside and spotted several groups of people heading towards the building, who were likely Fan Mingwei's men.
When he went back inside, he saw that Jian Ning wasn't sitting either; she was waiting for him inside.
"There's dust on the bed here, let's go to the space. They probably won't be able to come and bother us tonight, let's lock the door."
"Okay." Xiao Lingfeng wanted this house to avoid suspicion; he didn't intend to live there. With a group of men, he couldn't be expected to be meticulous and clean the house.
I reckon their own houses are even worse than this one, given the scarcity of water these days. They're extremely frugal with water.
Nobody wants to use water to mop the floor, wash the sheets, or clean the house; they don't even have enough to drink themselves.
Jian Ning pulled Xiao Lingfeng back to the space. They immediately saw the special building materials storage area that Nalan Rong had neatly organized.
It is well-organized, just like soldiers in the army, with each category clearly defined, making it easy to understand at a glance.
He couldn't help but praise, "Nalan Rong, you've made things so much easier for me. Having you as my steward in this space has saved me so much trouble."
"This is all I should do, it's my duty. Master, you flatter me."
Nalan Rong was very modest, but he was still very happy to receive Jian Ning's praise, and he couldn't help but smile.
The next morning, after Fan Mingwei sobered up, the first thing he did was go to find Xiao Lingfeng.
As soon as I reached the door, it opened.
"Brother Fan, I was just thinking of coming to find you to have breakfast together. How about we have congee with preserved egg and lean pork, beef pies, and pickled cucumber today?"
"Ling Feng, I'm already grateful to have anything to eat. The dishes you mentioned are making my mouth water. Well then, brother, I won't stand on ceremony."
When Fan Mingwei entered the room, he saw that breakfast was already laid out on the desk by the window, emitting a steaming aroma. Jian Ning was taking out tea eggs.
Upon seeing him enter, he smiled and said, "Brother Fan, please have a seat."
"Sister-in-law, you're as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. With so much delicious food, Ling Feng is incredibly lucky to have married you!"
"Brother Fan, you're exaggerating. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't accept such a comment. Here, have some porridge to warm your stomach."
This congee with preserved egg and lean pork was specially prepared by Jian Ning. Xiao Lingfeng and the other man had both drunk quite a bit, and drinking some congee in the morning could alleviate the irritation of alcohol on the gastric mucosa, making their stomachs feel more comfortable.
Fan Mingwei was starving. He had drunk too much the night before and had vomited several times during the night. His stomach was completely empty.
He pulled Xiao Lingfeng to sit down and began to eat heartily. After finishing a bowl of porridge, he finally had time to talk to Xiao Lingfeng.
"Ling Feng, you're looking for bricks and cement, right? I'll take you there in a bit. I know a place where they're building villas."
All the materials are ready.
The end times have come, but we've only just dug the foundation pit.
The area is on higher ground, so it wasn't flooded.
Cement and other materials can be used.
In this apocalyptic world, besides you, who else is thinking about building their own house?
These buildings are mostly empty. Almost no one lives there anymore.
In such a large city, I estimate that fewer than 20,000 people are still alive. It's heartbreaking to think about. Natural disasters are truly merciless. We are so lucky to be alive now.
"Yes, human life is the most fragile thing, but sometimes it is also very tenacious. As long as we don't give up and try to live, things will definitely get better in the future."
Xiao Lingfeng said this to encourage himself.
After dinner, the three of them went to the villa that Fan Mingwei had mentioned, arriving by helicopter. When Xiao Lingfeng brought this huge machine out on the rooftop, Fan Mingwei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Ling Feng, your storage space is huge! Can it even fit a helicopter?"
"Sure, ten of these planes wouldn't be a problem. Brother Fan, let's get on the plane."
"Awesome!" Fan Mingwei gave him a thumbs up, opened the cabin door, and got in.
He pointed out the direction to Xiao Lingfeng, and they soon arrived at their destination.
The huge pit where the foundation was dug here took a lot of effort; even now, there's still water in the river, turning it into a lake.
The water was extremely murky, and it was unclear what was in it that had been left there, giving off a foul stench.
This used to be a fairly large factory, but it has been abandoned for many years. Because of the construction of villas, all the houses that needed to be demolished have been demolished.
Only that row of temporary warehouses remained. When I last came here, the cement inside was still intact. Let's go take a look.
Fan Mingwei didn't dare to be too sure. The bricks were definitely usable, but the cement was afraid of water. Although it hadn't rained for days, no one could guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
Xiao Lingfeng understood what he meant and followed him over. The warehouse doors, which were originally locked with large padlocks, had been pried open and then propped shut with a wooden stick.
In the past, when the wooden sticks were removed and the room was opened, wow! The cement inside was neatly stacked on the roof.
The houses in this row were almost entirely made of cement. Only the last two rooms contained some other odds and ends.
These are all tools that can be used for building houses, as well as work clothes, gloves, boots, safety helmets, ropes, and the like. These are all usable.
Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning looked around and packed everything away without any hesitation. They even took every single brick from the red brick wall outside.
The steel bars and stone slabs were all cleaned up very thoroughly.
"Brother Fan, is there a glass factory around here?" Xiao Lingfeng asked after checking one last time and making sure he hadn't forgotten anything useful.
"Of course there are, but they're in the west of the city, which is now Liu Lao Er's territory. I have some connection with him. They don't need these pieces of glass. They can't eat or bite them."
We can decorate it then.
Fan Mingwei had already made up his mind; he also wanted to go to that base with Xiao Lingfeng. After all, there was a shelter there.
It's much safer here; he'll definitely have to give up this territory. Before leaving, he told Liu Lao Er off; that showed him loyalty.
