Meng Xian waved her hand with a smile and said, “The clothes in Zhao Yu’s business district are outrageously expensive. Who would want to buy them?” The group felt a sense of regret as they watched Meng Xian leave.
Unexpectedly, just half an hour later, the three Xu sisters returned.
This left Xiao Liu and the others quite astonished.
“Where’s Sister Meng?!”
The Xu sisters were also surprised.
“We didn’t see her. Isn’t she with you?”
“No, she didn’t come shopping with us.”
Xiao Liu and Eagle exchanged a glance, a foreboding feeling rising in their
hearts.
“Could it be that she…”
Both felt a pang of distress.
They had seen Zhao Yu’s impressive and domineering presence in the town and aspired to it, but they understood the gap between them and others.
Meng Xian left without telling them, using the pretense of shopping with the
Xu sisters.
With just a guess, they knew the truth.
Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes.
They were not heroes, but Zhao Yu was!
“This…”
“Alas!!!”
The two sighed deeply.
Xiao Liu, heartbroken, said, “Eagle, we have been rivals for so long, and yet we
were beaten by a newcomer…”
Eagle was equally upset, always considering Xiao Liu as his competitor.
But their paths were different.
Xiao Liu followed the path of an admirer, always serving Meng Xian closely.
While Eagle took the path of sharing burdens, trying to make the Meng family stronger.
Unexpectedly…
The one to reap the rewards was Zhao Yu!
“Let’s go drink!”
“Let’s not return until we’re drunk!”
At that moment, the two seemed to come to terms with the situation. Once enemies, they now let bygones be bygones, walking shoulder to shoulder towards the winery.
Outside the power plant.
Meng Xian waited quietly.
She came here just to deliver a message.
A moment later, a soldier came out and led her inside.
Since Zhao Yu set up a new fence around the power plant, this was her first time entering into the building.
She was quite curious.
She didn’t see anything particularly novel.
Instead, the few buildings that were there before were now covered with tarpaulins, and she wondered what was happening.
“Where is Zhao Yu?!”
“Please get in the car!”
A soldier opened the car door, guiding Meng Xian to sit inside, and then they headed north, leaving the factory through the north gate.
“Where are we going?”
Meng Xian was somewhat astonished. Wasn’t Zhao Yu inside the electronics factory?
The soldier didn’t answer.
Meng Xian settled down and sat patiently.
A moment later, a majestic base appeared before her eyes.
“This is…”
Meng Xian looked at the towering walls and the surrounding defensive fortifications, suddenly realizing.
This was where Zhao Yu’s secret base was located.
The power plant was just for public display.
Now it made sense why it always took Zhao Yu some time to meet her.
He must have been coming from this base.
As she was about to become Zhao Yu’s woman, she was brought here.
“He really is the man I set my sights on…”
Meng Xian muttered to herself, feeling a bit of anticipation.
By now, she was inevitably attracted to Zhao Yu, feeling a restless longing in her dreams.
The car quickly entered the base.
Under the guidance of a soldier, Meng Xian entered a mansion.
The interior was luxuriously decorated, with all necessary living amenities. It was Zhao Yu’s residence within the base.
Previously, Zhao Yu had to reside in the main base due to lack of choice.
Now with the availability of manpower and engineers, he naturally wouldn’t compromise on his living standards and had built a grand mansion to reside in. inside the mansion, several female soldiers dressed as maids, were cleaning the surrounding.
One of them approached Meng Xian with a mobile phone in hand and handed it to her.
Could mobile phones still work in this post-apocalyptic world?
To her surprise, as soon as she put the phone to her ear, she heard Zhao Yu’s voice.
“Stay at my house for a while. I have some matters to attend to and will come
to see you later…”
“There’S food and drink in the house, and you can also take a hot shower. Feel free to use anything…”
“Hot water?!”
Meng Xian’s face lit up with joy. Although the Meng family’s manor had electricity, they hadn’t indulged in the luxury of hot showers.
She always led by example, fearing criticism of privilege, so she never used hot water for bathing.
Thinking of this, she felt an itch in her body.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the surrounding maids hesitantly and asked, “May I use the bathroom?”
“Please follow me!”
These maids appeared ordinary, but they were costly, each worth ten technology points.
Their formal title: spies!
Of course, Zhao Yu chose them not for their diverse skills or to protect the mansion.
He selected them because they were more adaptable than ordinary soldiers, had high-grade chips, and could understand much of what Zhao Yu said. They were proficient in household chores, making them safe and reliable. Guided by a maid, Meng Xian quickly arrived at a bathroom.
She was stunned to see that the bathroom was a luxurious 50 square meters. Not only did it have all the necessary toiletries, but there was also a three-meter by three-meter pool filled with steaming hot water and scattered with flower petals.
It seemed Zhao Yu had anticipated her arrival and had everything prepared in advance.
“I’m not sure if I should…”
Meng Xian felt somewhat embarrassed.
What if she dirtied such a clean pool?
The maid, however, didn’t concern herself with these worries and wanted to help her undress.
But Meng Xian stopped them, “Um, is there a shower? I’d like to rinse off before soaking, is that okay?”
