Chapter 21: Hiding Supplies in the Mountains

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Hiding Supplies in the Mountains Lei Ying may behave like a clown but when it came to serious matters, he would not joke around. That is why Ye Xuan chose him for this task. It was definitely not easy to find all this information, especially since the people involved wanted to hide it. They would probably not have known any of it had it not been for his recurring dream. Now, it seems that something significant is about to happen and from the information he got from the girl in the dream, it is already very close. He was inclined to believe that the general, as wise as he is would not dismantle the hard work of generations on a whim and leave a shell of a company. Therefore, whatever was about to happen must be serious enough to force him to spend all the wealth the family owns. He trusted his gut, and his gut was telling him to do exactly what the general had done. Chu Miao, the general’s granddaughter had also been urging him for a long time. It was time to act. "I guess whatever you told me is not the only thing they have done; since you have the full report, call the other brothers and use the shortest time possible, if possible, within ten days,, to do exactly what the general has done. Except for things that might spoil easily, such as fresh vegetables, meat, and fruits, you can buy a limited amount. However, you can buy them in different forms, such as dried meat and jerky, dried vegetables and fruits, and picked ones. As for water tanks, buy smaller ones that can be kept inside a room in an apartment. For drinking water, you can buy as many gallons as you can as long as there’s space to keep them and add one liter and a half liter bottles too." "I don’t get it, Major; why are we doing this?" "No questions asked, this is an order. I will transfer money to you and the other brothers. You told me last time that Miss Chu is renovating her apartment and turning it into a fortress. Take a page from her book and do the same. By the way, where is her apartment located?" "That is actually a coincidence. It’s in the same building as the few apartments our brothers bought with our retirement money." "That’s even better. Go and get on with the renovation. Make sure all the apartments are renovated the same. Don’t worry about the money; spend as much as you need and buy everything of the highest quality." "Yes sir." Lei Ying stood up and saluted before leaving to complete his mission. Even though they had retired, they still treated Ye Xuan as their leader. That was the reason the entire squad applied for early retirement when they found out that he had retired. Ye Xuan was left alone in the office thinking about the unknown that was about to happen. From his dream and the information Lei Ying got, it is possible that the apocalypse is coming and the Chu family has some way of knowing things before they happen. He has heard that it was General Chu who convinced the leaders to give a public warning. Even though they were not as blunt as he had asked, people had still started to stock up on food and water. He hoped that if it was really the apocalypse, then more people could survive. He suddenly remembered something and took out his phone to call Lei Ying. It only rang once before Lei Ying picked up, "Hello" "Do you remember the bunker up the mountain we stayed in during our last mission" "Yes, of course I remember. Most of us were injured and were looking for a cave to hide and recover when we discovered the hidden bunker." "Buy more supplies, medicine, and water and hide them there." "That bunker is huge and has many rooms; how many supplies should I keep there?" "Leave the large room at the entrance and fifteen other rooms. Fill the rest with supplies. Don’t worry about the money, buy as much as possible and remember to be discreet. You are a soldier. You should know what that means." "Understood major." After hanging up the phone, Ye Xuan opened his banking app and transferred more than 100 million to the bank accounts of several men. His squad had seven people, including himself. Out of the other six, one of them was out of the country as he had gone to Country H to retrieve something. He should be back soon. The other five were within the city. So, he didn’t have to worry about not being able to complete the tasks required on time. His soldiers were extremely efficient. He was sure that within ten days, everything would be completed. Now, he had to focus on what to do with the company. It had too many assets, which weren’t easy to get rid of, but he could trade them for gold. He knew that no matter which era or situation, gold was a universal currency. He could keep those even if their value decreased; it wouldn’t be completely useless. Thinking about this, he got to work immediately and started making calls. By the time the apocalypse started, he already had several boxes of gold bars. But, that is a story for another day. ... In the meantime, Chu Miao and her mother had already arrived at her apartment and we’re surveying it to make sure that everything was done according to the standards provided. Upon exiting the elevator on the 20th floor, there was an anti-theft and explosion-proof metal door. She had read lots of apocalypse novels and knew that as soon as people become desperate due to hunger and thirst, they would do anything just for a bite of food and a sip of water. She didn’t want to have to fight with people who wanted to rob her or give them a chance to kidnap her grandfather morally just because he was a general of the country. In the apocalypse, everyone is equal without class or authority.
