Day.

Li Yu ran five kilometers through the wooded hills, returned home, and took a shower. Having returned from the apocalypse, he really could not stand how pathetic his current physique was.

Actually, Li Yu had been in pretty good shape to begin with.

Abs.

This also meant he could not pull off many highly demanding moves.

So he had been working on his fitness ever since his rebirth.

Li Yu ran over to inspect the base.

Li Yu's mood brightened a little.

The water pipes and electrical wiring were already in place.

So he bought a few extra sets.

He watched and learned throughout the installation.

If properly stored, the sets he had bought would last a long time.

Tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours.

There were some things he needed to speed up now.

He had been buying some here and there.

There was nowhere to put them once he bought them.

So he had only been able to buy things in small quantities.

It was too much trouble.

Then transport everything over in one go.

It was less than two kilometers from the site currently under construction.

From the country road, it was practically impossible to see what was inside.

That made it even more secluded.

The gate they had made.

A double-leaf gate measuring in centimeters.

So now even very tall things could be brought inside.

He had reached this conclusion after allowing for some extra clearance.

That alone had cost Li Yu hundreds of thousands of yuan.

A small door. The small door was also made of hardened steel.

An open area measuring over so many square meters.

His heart swelled with ambition.

He was going to fill this place.

He sorted everything into categories such as food, medicine, clothing, hygiene supplies, fuel, goods for bartering, and tools.

He designated an area for each category, making everything clear at a glance.

It would also be extremely easy to find things later.

Tens of thousands of yuan.

Tens of thousands spent on supplies.

Calculated in years.

What items there were.

Then he added them one by one.

And his younger brother, Li Hang. An SUV with seats.

Trucks already.

Spread the payments over the longest term available.

Take out loans wherever possible.

He happened to run into his father on the country road.

Li Hongyuan would probably find it even harder to accept.

He smiled.

"That SUV is yours."

"I haven't really driven since I passed my driving test."

He recalled beating him when he was little.

He was still a kid.

But he said nothing.

Still, giving them a little money for their trouble was only natural.

They kept praising Li Yu for knowing how to treat people.

Then he got ready to get in and drive away.

The staff seemed to notice that Li Yu had things to do, so they exchanged a few more words and left.

He did not even let them see the base here.

That way, no one would get ideas about this place later.

He drove the vehicles into the base over several trips.

The next day, he took Li Yu into the city to pick them up.

He had even spent some money before finding someone willing to help him purchase these things.

They were not afraid of breaking the law. They were only afraid the pay would be too low.

Arrows.

Arrows.

Arrows.

There was also some protective armor and so on.

The seller still refused to sharpen the blades for him.

He put a little pressure on the seller.

A generous incentive.

In the end, the seller finally agreed to sharpen them.

The seller looked at Li Yu as though he were crazy.

It took several trips, but they finally got everything loaded onto the pickup.

He drove back to the base, feeling nervous the whole way.

This would be far too difficult to explain.

He was drenched in sweat.

Instead, he looked excited.

Do not tell anyone.

His younger brother gave him an I get it look, then swayed off to take a shower, acting all mysterious.

Apparently, there was no need to say anything.

That idiot.

And secured it with a large padlock. He kept the key on him at all times.

Cooking oil, salt, sauces, vinegar, tea, and so on.

They agreed on a delivery time.

And so on.

Tens of thousands of videos.

He downloaded several thousand movies.

There were more websites than he could count. They were even good for the mind and body.

The books covered everything from the nine-year compulsory education curriculum to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, fishing, and other industries.

From chemistry and physics to politics and ethics...

It was at a music CD shop on the verge of bankruptcy. He bought the entire stock for tens of thousands of yuan.

This stuff was a little hard to handle.

Li Yu made another trip to a used bookstore and hauled back three full truckloads of books in separate batches.

The main improvements were in several aspects of safety and structural strength.

A small home theater measuring in square meters.

Recreational spaces such as a room for cards and board games.

Tens of thousands.

The other four villas only received basic renovations.

It really gave Li Hongyuan quite a shock.

He gave Li Yu a thorough scolding for wasting money.

He bluntly told his father to stay out of it, making Li Hongyuan grit his teeth in anger.

Most of these supplies were transported from other provinces.

With the movers in tow.

This really cost Li Yu a hefty sum.

These drivers would also have a hard time finding this place again.

They would also have to cross provincial borders.

Whether these people could make it here was another major question.

Asking for everything.
