Looking at the worker, Yao Ran calmly replied, "I live in the villa next door. I noticed you are installing power grids and generators, so I came by to take a look."
Seeing that she wasn't carrying any weapons, the worker lowered his guard. He wiped the sweat from his brow and returned to his task.
Yao Ran watched them for a while before asking, "Uncle, are you working permanently for the owner of this villa?"
The worker paused and replied, "No, we are just here today to install the power grids and generators."
Seeing her interest, the worker added, "Young lady, do you also want to have power grids installed?"
Yao Ran needed to stay at the base to gather information about The Ark from Du Zhaoyi. Since she planned to remain here and the villa was hers, it wouldn't hurt to improve its defenses.
After a moment of thought, she replied, "Uncle, how much would it cost to install the power grids?"
The worker raised five fingers and said, "Fifty kilograms of food. We only provide the labor." "Can I use any kind of food as payment?" Yao Ran asked.
The worker shook his head and explained, "We only accept food with a long shelf life. If you have medicine, that is even better."
Hearing this, Yao Ran paused for a moment before asking, "Uncle, when will you have time? Can you help me install the power grids today?"
The worker's eyes lit up at her question. He nodded and replied, "We are almost done here, Young Lady. If you have the materials ready, we can take care of it after finishing up."
Since the survivors had only just returned from the underground shelter today, they probably wouldn't cause any trouble for now. However, things might not remain so calm after today. Thinking it would be best to install the power grids as soon as possible, Yao Ran nodded decisively.
"Good. Let's do it today."
She then pointed toward her villa and said, "Uncle, I live in that villa. Once you are done here, you can head straight over."
Handing the documents over, Xu Ruihan took a seat across from him and said, "Take a look."
Mu Xichen glanced at his childhood friend briefly before opening the documents, carefully reading them one by one. When he finished, he placed them on the low table and asked, "Is this true?"
Xu Ruihan nodded, "I didn't believe it myself when Grandpa Yao first gave them to me. But now that everything is happening just as the documents predicted, I have no choice but to believe."
Mu Xichen frowned when he heard Xu Ruihan's words. He thought for a moment and asked, "Since when did you start believing what is written in these documents?"
Xu Ruihan replied calmly, "I started to suspect they were real when Yao Ran ordered a massive quantity of weapons from my grandpa. When I learned she'd also made large purchases from your family and Shengyang's, I began investigating and preparing for the incoming natural disasters."
"In addition, Grandpa also told me that after I handed the goods to her, Yao Ran subtly hinted to him about some upcoming natural disasters."
After hearing this, Mu Xichen's eyes flickered. "No wonder you suddenly told us to sell our assets and stock up on supplies. I thought you'd gone crazy. But after the typhoon, I figured you must have a source inside the government."
He paused, then added, "But now it seems everything you did was because of these documents."
The room fell into silence for a few moments before Mu Xichen asked, "So, have you
uncovered anything?"
Xu Ruihan's expression darkened, and he said, "Yes. There is an organization controlling this country from the shadows. It's called The Ark."
Mu Xichen frowned and murmured, "The name sounds familiar."
"It should. They own the largest auction house in our country. We have been to their auction
house a few times, and their staff even invited us to their annual banquet last year," Xu
Ruihan explained.
After listening to his explanation, Mu Xichen remembered everything.
