Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 320

Qi Mingyu nodded and whispered the situation again. He smiled bitterly at the end: "My family didn't know where to go. After much thought, we came to you and Mingyue for help."

Meng Mingyue, who had been standing by without saying a word, smiled and said, "You're right to come here. We're short of manpower and welcome anyone who comes."

Perhaps it was because of leaving her best relatives, Meng Mingyue looked more energetic and her eyes were bright compared to the last time they met.

Zhou Shuwan smiled and opened her arms to hug the other person: "Mingyue, long time no see."

Meng Mingyue hugged her back enthusiastically: "You little girl, you refused to come when I asked you to."

"I'm coming to join you right away."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Xiao said, "Let's go. I'll go see the elders and arrange a place for you to stay."

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other and laughed, "This is really a great opportunity. We were worried all the way here that we wouldn't have a place to stay and would have to sleep in tents."

"If we had come earlier, we would have slept in tents," Meng Mingyue sighed. "When Zhang Jia and I arrived, we slept in tents for a few days. Xiao Xiao was worried that it was unsafe for girls to sleep in tents, so she asked a family in the village to vacate a room for us, and that's where Zhang Jia and I slept. But now the factory workshop has been renovated, so we sleep in the workshop with the other girls. It's warm at night."

Zhou Shuwan was stunned.

She looked at the large group of houses in the distance.

Xiao Xiao and Meng Mingyue went to meet Grandma Pang, Zhou Jianghai, and Zhong Tiyun. Xiao Xiao pinched Mu Mu's cheek and was surprised: "This child has grown so tall. I remember that he was only as tall as my waist before."

"Children in their teens are at the stage when they grow taller." Zhou Jianghai said.

Xiao Xiao had already heard about Zhou Jianghai's broken leg, so she asked about his condition with concern. When she learned that he needed several months of recuperation, she nodded and said, "You have to take good care of your leg. Don't let it become a chronic injury."

"Yes, I am the most useless person in the family now. Even Mu Mu has a lot of things to do, and I am the one who has the least time." Zhou Jianghai said, feeling a little lonely.

"How can it be useless?" Xiao Xiao said seriously: "Uncle, you are the backbone of the family. The whole family depends on you."

"That's right! Dad, you're talking nonsense again." Zhou Shuwan said.

Xiao Xiao's father was also a soldier, but he died in the line of duty a few years ago. He now has a widowed mother and a younger sister at home.

What he said was not entirely comforting, but he sincerely envied Zhou Shuwan for having her father around.

"Okay, I'll take good care of her so that my daughter will have someone to rely on at all times." Zhou Jianghai patted Zhou Shuwan's hand and smiled happily.

Xiao Xiao had already made arrangements on the way here.

At this moment, he said, "Everywhere else is under construction. Only the factory building over there is ready-made. We can separate it with metal sheets to make two small rooms there. It's enough for your family to live in."

"We'll talk about other things after we build the house." Xiao Xiao said the last sentence vaguely.

"Okay, okay, as long as we have a place to live. Captain Xiao, just assign us some work. Wanwan, Xiaoyu, and I, the three of us can do it! Even though Mumu is small, he can help out."

Zhong Tiyun said hurriedly.

"Auntie, you are being too polite again. Just call me Xiao Xiao like before." Xiao Xiao's attitude was very enthusiastic and seemed sincere.

Zhong Tiyun felt less restrained.

On the way to the factory, Meng Mingyue whispered to Zhou Shuwan, "Xiao Xiao was a little reluctant to explain it clearly just now. After the base is built, not everyone will be able to get a house. Aside from the original residents, military personnel, and government staff, everyone else will be assigned a house based on seniority."

She looked around and lowered her voice even more. "We both remember what you entrusted to Xiao Xiao and me. We're trying to find a way for you. The villas you're interested in are all under construction. But there's a new rule. Except for indigenous people, the military, and staff at the service hall, everyone else needs to go through several layers of procedures and approvals to buy a house. It's too troublesome.

Originally, Xiao Xiao said that you have a lot of supplies at home, and if you give out several times more than others, you can occupy the house. But now that you are here, it will be easier to handle.

Zhou Shuwan raised his eyebrows.

In her previous life, new bases were purchased by ordinary people with supplies, and she thought it would be the same in this life, but she didn't expect that the rules had been changed.

It seems that because of the prophetic warning in this life, there were almost no casualties among the upper class, so the houses on the base were in short supply and new regulations came into being.

Fortunately, they arrived early.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mingyue." She said sincerely.

"This is what should happen in our relationship." Meng Mingyue answered cheerfully.

The closer Zhou Shuwan got to the factory, the clearer his view of its exterior became. Sure enough, it was the factory where he had spent two years during the extreme cold, and it had later been converted into a greenhouse.

Unexpectedly, the first stop when arriving at the new base is here.

Because it was soaked by floods, the factory originally had a musty smell, but after this period of treatment, it has improved a lot.

The small partitions seen in the previous life have not been installed yet. Only some simple small rooms are divided with iron sheets. They should be temporary residences for staff like Meng Mingyue.

On the other side of the factory is the washing area.

Zhou Shuwan walked around the factory as if he was revisiting an old place.

Xiao Xiao personally led them to two smaller rooms further in. "Xiao Yu, Wan Wan, your rooms will be arranged here first. Ming Yue, help them move first. I'll come visit you in the evening after I'm done."

He is now in charge of the construction of a new base and is very busy. It is very kind of him to squeeze out time to visit Zhou Shuwan and his family.

Everyone told him to go about his business and to remember to come for a drink in the evening.

Xiao Xiao went with a smile.

Meng Mingyue took the others on a tour and said, "The accommodation is simple, but it's reinforced, so it's not afraid of acid rain. There's running water and a bathroom, so it's very convenient for living there. We can stay there for now. Also, beds are very scarce right now, so I'll see if I can coordinate two bunk beds for you."

"Okay! Thank you so much." Zhong Tiyun felt that she could only say thank you today.

After Meng Mingyue helped move a few pieces of luggage and was called away, she sighed, "When you first joined the water protection team, I was reluctant because I thought it was dangerous. But I didn't expect that the people I met back then were all important people! Otherwise, we would have been in such a difficult situation coming here!"

Only staff members can live in the factory.

Their family is blessed with friends.

Soon, Meng Mingyue sent someone to bring in three bunk beds, which were the same bunk beds used in the factory. They were very simple, but better than sleeping directly on the floor.

Today, this is a base, under construction, and lacks everything.

There are two bunk beds, which is pretty good.
