33: Villa acceptance

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, he saw a high wall built of synthetic metal, three times higher than the original cement brick wall!

On the wall, there were also circles of thick iron barbed wire with blades.

If someone tried to climb up, they wouldn't be able to pass through at all; their flesh would be torn apart, and they would bleed to death.

Laying down quilts?

That wouldn't work either. The warning sign clearly stated, "High voltage electricity, do not climb."

"Excuse me, are you Chen Ming, Mr. Chen?" A voice suddenly came from beside Chen Ming.

"Who are you?" Chen Ming had no impression of this person in his memory.

However, seeing him wearing a safety helmet, he was likely one of the staff members upgrading the villa.

"Hello, allow me to introduce myself. I am the chief engineer for this renovation project, Zhao Li."

Facing the hand extended to him, Chen Ming politely shook it and replied, "You've worked hard."

"It seems Zombie monsters have appeared in the city. May I ask when the renovation work will be completed?" Chen Ming asked directly.

"It can be completed before sunset today. The materials were all prefabricated and then transported here for installation. We have a full three hundred people working solely to finish the job as quickly as possible," Zhao Li replied.

"Please tell everyone, Chief Engineer Zhao, that if it can be completed before sunset, each person will receive a hundred thousand red envelopes. The sooner, the better."

"Of course, Chief Engineer Zhao, I will give you an additional hundred thousand," Chen Ming promised.

"No problem! I will go and convey your words to everyone immediately and make sure they finish as soon as possible!"

When he heard that completing the renovation task before sunset would earn him a two hundred thousand red envelope reward, Zhao Li's eyes lit up.

Afterward, Chen Ming rode in Zhao Li's car and went up the mountain together.

He witnessed firsthand how the engineering team used large pieces of material, lifted them, placed them into position, and then secured them with screws thicker than Chen Ming's wrist and longer than his arm.

Chen Ming was confident that even if a Gatling gun fired for a whole day, unleashing hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition, it still wouldn't penetrate this wall.

When Zhao Li announced the hundred thousand bonus per person, everyone immediately became energized, moving their hands and feet faster.

Since Chen Ming himself was present, they naturally didn't dare to be careless with the quality.

As the old saying goes, "He who eats from another's hand speaks softly, and he who takes from another's hand is weak."

With others being so sincere, it would truly be unacceptable to cut corners and use inferior materials.

Zhao Li also took this time to take out the blueprints and introduce Chen Ming to the various functions of the villa after the renovation.

Besides the incredibly strong defense, there was also a large amount of water stored underground, equipped with a filtration and circulation system to ensure the water source would not be contaminated.

At the same time, the function to manually collect rainwater could be activated, allowing it to flow into the underground reservoir.

The water storage capacity was equivalent to a football field, twelve meters deep.

For electricity, they found a place with the most abundant sunlight and installed over two hundred state-of-the-art solar panels, connected to a super battery capable of storing enough electricity for a family's normal use for several years.

The electricity for the wall at the foot of the mountain was provided independently by other solar panels.

"In addition, we also found that the wind on your precious mountain is very strong, so we have added additional wind power generation devices..."

Zhao Li spoke non-stop.

Chen Ming listened attentively.

He spoke for a full half hour before finishing the introduction.

"Ah..."

Seeing Chen Ming yawn, looking as if he hadn't slept enough, Zhao Li suggested, "Why don't you rest on the second floor first? I'll call you after the renovation is complete."

"The second floor is basically finished and won't disturb your rest."

"Okay," Chen Ming readily agreed.

There really wasn't anything else to say to Zhao Li and the others. After going up to the second floor, he felt there was no need to stay and delay their work.

He opened the bedroom door and stepped inside.

The moment the door closed, the sound of construction outside was completely blocked out.

"Whoa! This effect is amazing!"

Chen Ming pulled back the curtains and noticed that the window had been replaced with a very thick pane, clearly bulletproof glass.

Pulling the curtains shut again, Chen Ming lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and decided to go back to sleep...

This nap lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Ming stretched and felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

He opened the door and came out, only to see Zhao Li, who had been waiting outside the door for who knows how long.

"Mr. Chen, you're awake. How did you sleep?" Zhao Li asked with concern.

"The soundproofing is good," Chen Ming praised.

"It's best if you are satisfied. Also, we have completely finished all the renovation work, upstairs and downstairs. Please inspect it," Zhao Li said, gesturing.

In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed.

Chen Ming finished touring all the renovated areas.

He nodded and said, "No problem, I am very satisfied."

Then, under everyone's expectant gaze, he first transferred 1.3 billion to the security company.

Subsequent material and labor costs increased significantly in pursuit of efficiency.

But for Chen Ming, it didn't matter.

Because...

[Consumption of 1.3 billion successful! Ten-fold rebate triggered! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 13,000,000,000 da xia coin!]

Following that, he transferred the promised hundred thousand to each of the three hundred people.

Including Zhao Li's two hundred thousand, the total cost was thirty million and twenty thousand.

[Gift of 30.2 million successful! Ten-fold rebate triggered! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 302,000,000 da xia coin!]

"Thank you, Chen Zong!" As soon as Zhao Li said this, countless people responded.

"Thank you, Chen Zong!"

"Thank you, Chen Zong!"

...

Chen Ming then told them to hurry home and be careful on the road, as the world was unstable.

He watched the convoy leave.

Standing by the roadside, after confirming that the convoy had driven out of the main gate, Chen Ming picked up the remote control in his hand, locked the gate, and activated the high voltage electricity on the iron barbed wire on the wall.

If anyone touched even a little bit, they would be sent to meet the King of Hell instantly.

At this moment, Chen Ming felt unprecedented peace of mind.

Turning around, looking at the steel fortress in front of him, Chen Ming opened the door and returned to the living room.

He put the villa's remote control aside, picked up the TV remote control, and turned it on.

He finally had a chance to see through the news what the current situation was like domestically.

The hosts and experts finally stopped hiding it and publicly admitted the existence of the Zombie virus.

And they showed footage of the Special Ops Soldiers on the front lines, suppressing the terrifying tide of corpses with firepower.

The scene of thousands of Zombies surging forward, vying with each other, even when seen through the TV screen, still greatly impacted Chen Ming's heart.

"This transmission speed is too fast, isn't it? Is it an enhanced version?"

Chen Ming opened the virtual panel, and in the storage space, using the quick search function, he found the Zombie virus injection he had previously fished out.

He clicked to take it out.

Looking at the cylindrical syringe in his hand, as thick as a water pipe, and the bright red liquid virus inside, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Just this little bit of virus can plunge the entire world into misery?"

He realized the fragility of being human.

He put it back into the storage space, and the details panel automatically popped up.

Chen Ming was about to close it, but his eyes lit up, catching a very crucial and unexpected annotation.
