Three days later, City B.
On the road, a young man wearing a black T-shirt, sunglasses and a military backpack was walking slowly.
It was Zhao Yue.
After leaving the base, Zhao Yue took a taxi to the nearest city B.
The master was very kind and paid 532 yuan. When Zhao Yue saw the price, his eyelids couldn't stop trembling.
City B is a bustling city with people coming and going.
Very little detailed information about the infection in G City has leaked out. Apart from the news released by the government, there is no relevant news online.
Therefore, it did not cause public panic. Everyone should continue to be busy.
Zhao Yue looked at the pedestrians on the road, either chatting and laughing and walking slowly, or walking with their heads down.
There are men in suits, children in school uniforms, mothers and daughters holding children...
Zhao Yue couldn't help but think of the infected people in G city and how they looked full of blood and various bones.
I felt inexplicably sad in my heart.
In another year, City B will look like that.
He shook his head. He couldn't protect himself, so why did he want to do this?
The sky is very blue today, and the warm sunshine shines on the ground, making people feel peaceful.
Zhao Yue enjoys his time now.
I found a cafe. The white light sign in the cafe said HEI COFFEE BAR.
Zhao Yue went in and ordered a cup of coffee.
He sat down in the corner by the window and began to think about his plans.
Next to it was a table of guests, talking to each other.
"I don't know what's going on, but prices have been rising faster and faster recently."
One of them had a sad look on his face. Prices were rising rapidly, making it increasingly difficult for him to maintain his low salary.
"It's harmful. This is only temporary. When the time comes, the government will lower prices."
Another friend who looked like him said optimistically.
Zhao Yue listened to the conversation between the two, but had different thoughts in his heart.
"Someone started stocking up."
Zhao Yue thought of the crux of the problem.
Although the upper levels of the government have kept this matter secret, there will always be some people who know the news in advance and respond to it.
A sense of urgency creeps in.
Zhao Yue took a sip of coffee with a calm expression. It tasted quite bitter. Zhao Yue could not drink it before.
But after experiencing what happened before, Zhao Yue fell in love with this taste.
Suddenly, a man walked to Zhao Yue's table and sat down naturally.
He is a boy. He has a handsome face, three-dimensional facial features, smooth lines, and is quite handsome.
"I haven't seen him since graduation. Why did he suddenly look for me?"
The boy joked.
His name is Li Xuan, and he and Zhao Yue are roommates in the same university dormitory. His father is in business and his family has considerable assets.
"I need your help if I need anything."
Zhao Yue said straight to the point.
"What's up?"
Li Xuan saw Zhao Yue's serious expression and stopped joking.
"Do you know the recent news in G City?"
Zhao Yue asked.
"I know a little bit. The government sent troops to seal the city, but I don't know the rest."
Li Xuan shook his head and said, as if he remembered something, he asked again.
"Isn't your home in G city?"
Zhao Yue nodded.
"I just came out of there and it was more serious than you might think."
Zhao Yue looked into Li Xuan's eyes and said in a serious tone.
"What exactly happened?"
Li Xuan asked curiously.
"It's not convenient to say it here. I just came to City B and I don't have a place to live yet. Can I stay at your place?"
Zhao Yue said.
"No problem, my place is a villa and there are many vacant rooms."
Li Xuan said nonchalantly.
"Then go to your place and tell me."
The two of them didn't sit in the cafe for much longer.
After leaving the cafe, Li Xuan drove his car over. It was a Mercedes-Benz.
"As expected of a rich man."
Zhao Yue got into the passenger seat and gave Li Xuan a thumbs up.
"It's nothing. I still have a few supercars at home. They are uncomfortable to sit in and I'm too lazy to drive them out."
Li Xuan said while starting the car.
"I haven't seen you for a while, how have you been?"
Li Xuan asked.
"It's not bad, I killed a lot of people."
Zhao Yue looked out the window and said casually.
Li Xuan suddenly braked.
"What?!!!"
…
Li Xuan Villa is located in a community outside the third line of urban area B. This community is basically composed of villas. Most of the people who live here are either rich or noble. It is also jokingly called the Royal Garden.
As soon as he got off the car, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over.
After Li Xuan handed him the car keys, he walked to the gate with Zhao Yue.
"The person just now was invited by the family."
Li Xuan explained.
Just as he entered through the gate, a woman with a hot figure and fair face came over.
"Li Xuan, are you back?"
The woman said to Li Xuan with a smile.
Li Xuan just nodded indifferently and walked forward with Zhao Yue.
This woman is Li Xuan's stepmother. Ever since Li Xuan's father married her back home, Li Xu has always disliked her. Although he is not hostile, he will not take the initiative to approach her.
Zhao Yue often heard Li Xuan talk about this matter at school and knew something about it.
The woman was not angry when she saw Li Xuan's attitude. After all, they had been together for several years and she was used to Li Xuan's temper.
Li Xuan's father was not at home most of the time, so Zhao Yue didn't see his father either.
Li Xuan took Zhao Yue to the balcony on the third floor of the villa, and the two sat down together.
At the same time, Li Xuan also asked the housekeeper at home to bring some exquisite snacks and put them on the table.
This made Zhao Yue sigh again, the life of rich people is good.
"There are no outsiders here, so you can rest assured."
Li Xuan lay on the chair and said.
Zhao Yue looked around and after making sure, he started talking about the situation in G City.
Of course, Zhao Yue did not say everything, but only part of it, mainly explaining the infection problem.
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
Li Xuan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
"Nonsense, why did I lie to you?"
Zhao Yue rolled his eyes.
"Furthermore, according to the information I've heard, nuclear mutation infections will break out around the world in a year."
Zhao Yue said seriously.
Li Xuan froze on the chair for a minute before he regained his composure and let out a long breath.
"Who else have you told this about?"
Li Xuan asked.
"I just came out of G city, so I'm just telling you now."
Zhao Yue said.
"So, what do you want me to help you with?"
Li Xuan rubbed his forehead. The news was so explosive that he began to feel worried and fearful for no reason.
"I want to borrow some money from you."
Zhao Yue took a snack, which was a cake with cherry decoration on it.
"How many?"
"I don't know. Let's borrow a billion or so first."
Zhao Yue took a bite of the cake and said casually.
"How many?"
Li Xuan looked up at Zhao Yue, his eyes widened, and he doubted whether he heard correctly.
"More than a billion."
Zhao Yue repeated again.
Silence, a long silence.
"I always feel that you have some kind of prejudice against me."
Li Xuan's eyes were filled with resentment.
"Ha ha."
Zhao Yue suddenly smiled.
"Honestly, how much do you want?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Well... the more the better, at least tens of millions."
Zhao Yue pondered for a while and said.
"What do you want so much for?!"
Li Xuan frowned.
"Buy supplies and build a safe house."
Zhao Yue finished the cake in his hands and clapped his hands.
"You may not have been in G city and cannot understand the true situation of infection. I have experienced it. The streets there are full of broken limbs. It is simply a hell on earth."
Zhao Yue stared into Li Xuan's eyes and said slowly. At the same time, perhaps because of the killings among infected people he had experienced, as he spoke, Zhao Yue's body brought out an aura that made Li Xuan feel slightly shocked.
"Without these preparations, we will all be dead here in a year."
Zhao Yue said.
"Have you ever seen zombie movies? Those infected people who have lost their minds are almost the same as zombies."
"You don't want to be bitten until there is only one bone left."
Zhao Yue began to follow the instructions.
Li Xuan couldn't make up his mind for a while.
He understood Zhao Yue's character and knew that he would hardly lie to himself.
But what if? What if what he said was false, or the matter wasn't that serious at all?
After all, such a big thing sounds like a joke. TV dramas don’t dare to film it like this. It’s too outrageous.
Zhao Yue saw Li Xuan's hesitation, so he spoke again: "You may not believe it, but I also understand that it is hard for anyone to believe this news."
"However, what I said is true."
Seeing that Li Xuan was still silent.
Zhao Yue sighed silently, stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly called him.
"Although I don't believe this, I believe that my brother Zhao Yue will not lie to me."
Zhao Yue's leaving figure suddenly paused and clenched his right hand.
The two returned to the table and began to discuss the next plan.
"I definitely can't get the money myself. I'll ask my dad."
Li Xuan dialed his father's phone number.
After a long time, the call was finally dialed.
"Dad, there's something wrong. When will you be back?"
Li Xuan picked up the phone and asked.
"What? Are you planning to buy a car again?"
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, his voice low.
"No, it's another thing! It's very important..."
Li Xuan was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"I still have a meeting here. If there's anything else, I'll talk about it later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
"It seems that your father-son relationship is not harmonious."
Zhao Yue said from the side.
"I'll think of a solution on my father's side, what should I do next?"
Li Xuan put down his cell phone and asked Zhao Yuedao.
"At least have some money first and find a place to use as a safe house."
Zhao Yue said.
"Then they started to stock up on supplies, and they had to do it quickly! I feel like someone had already known the news in advance and started spending a lot of money to buy supplies."
"Three months later, the government began to announce the news, and supplies would be difficult to buy by then."
"And in the past three months, material prices are expected to continue to rise."
Zhao Yue expressed his opinion.
Li Xuan frowned. He suddenly felt that everything that was unreal seemed to be slowly becoming real.
Gritting his teeth, Li Xuan suddenly said: "I will sell all the luxury cars first, so I can raise a few million first. Then I will borrow some money from friends."
Zhao Yue knew that he loved cars as much as his life.
"too slow."
Zhao Yue shook his head. Selling a car takes a lot of time. If it sells slowly, it may not be sold for several months.
"You go directly to the bank and use the luxury car as collateral for a loan. You can borrow as much as you can. Based on your status, you should be able to borrow tens of millions in a short time."
Zhao Yue said directly.
"How will I return it then?"
Li Xuan's eyes widened.
"What else?"
Zhao Yue rolled his eyes and continued:
"At that time, the government will begin to implement the continuation plan and select a group of people to hide in the underground city."
"And for a large number of people who are not selected, their trust in the government will collapse instantly. At that time, banknotes will be a piece of waste paper."
Li Xuan suddenly realized after hearing this.
"At that time, food is money, even more precious than money."
Zhao Yue added.
"OK!"
Li Xuan nodded and agreed with Zhao Yue's statement.
After discussing for an hour, the two felt that it was not necessary to delay, so they divided into two groups and began to act according to the plan.
Li Xuan went to the bank to apply for a mortgage loan.
Zhao Yue is planning to choose the location of the safe house.
Zhao Yue still has some experience in choosing a safe house.
After all, I have personally experienced an outbreak of nuclear mutation infection.
First of all, there are fewer people. The fewer people, the better.
Secondly, the surrounding area is desolate, with no animals or plants, lest these mutations become more painful than human mutations.
Near a water source? Don't be kidding me. I give you this water. Do you want to drink it?
The main thing is to be careful, no, to be safe.
With these points in mind, Zhao Yue quickly identified a location on the map.
It was a village, far away from the city, and the surrounding area was relatively desolate.
But whether to stay far away from the city posed something difficult for Zhao Yue.
One is that building a safe house is time-consuming. If the government announces the news in March, social order will gradually be shaken.
Whether the workers found at that time can complete the construction on schedule is another matter.
In fact, the real time left for Zhao Yue was less than three months.
After three months, it was difficult to build a safe house or purchase supplies.
That’s when everyone started protecting themselves.
Moreover, the materials still need to be preserved, and some need to be refrigerated, which also results in the quantity of materials being stored not being too large.
“I really don’t have enough time!”
Zhao Yue rubbed his brows and sighed.
