Chapter 225
But when he arrived at the underground safe house, Qi Mingyu pushed open the boxes piled against the wall, revealing a door. When he opened it, there was another space of nearly 100 square meters inside.
The space was filled with supplies.
Zhou Shuwan was very surprised: "How could your great-grandfather have dug such a large space?"
Qi Mingyu smiled. "During the war, almost everyone dug bases beneath their homes, but my great-grandfather was a very shrewd person. He dug particularly deep, firstly to hide wealth, and secondly to hide people. Later, when our neighborhood was demolished and built, all the other basements were filled in. Only this area was planned to have lawns and green plants. My grandfather bribed the contractor at the time and kept this basement a secret."
He looked at the piles of supplies before him and sighed, "My great-grandfather and grandfather also spent a lot of money back then, fearing that there would be more wars in the future, and they wanted to leave a way out for their grandchildren. But they didn't expect that the war would not break out again, and instead the end of the world would come. We finally enjoy the protection of our ancestors! I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate..."
Seeing his expression tinged with sadness, Zhou Shuwan deliberately smiled and said, "Of course it's a blessing! Natural disasters are beyond human control, but because you have this basement and have stored so many supplies, it's enough for you and Grandma Pang to live comfortably for another ten or twenty years in the apocalypse!"
Who can predict what will happen in ten or twenty years?
Qi Mingyu knew that she was comforting him and smiled at her gently.
Zhou Shuwan looked away somewhat unnaturally.
Qi Mingyu discovered that she now seemed completely different from the passionate person in bed yesterday, like two different people.
His eyes flashed, and just as he was about to say something, Zhou Shuwan asked again: "Who knows about this place?"
Qi Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "Grandma and I, the rest are your family of four."
Sure enough, although he had already guessed it, when he actually heard the other party say this, Zhou Shuwan felt a mixture of emotions he couldn't explain. It was sour and numb. He felt touched by the other party's trust, but also felt a sense of regret for the other party's easy trust in others...
She was silent for a long time before she whispered, "This is the foundation for you and Grandma Pang to gain a foothold in the apocalypse. You shouldn't have let us know about it, and you shouldn't have invited us here!"
The supplies here should be most of Qi Mingyu’s wealth!
Qi Mingyu seemed to have read her thoughts and whispered, "Two-thirds of my supplies are stored here. I also have some stored elsewhere. I'll take you there when I have the chance."
Zhou Shuwan was a little surprised and shook his head quickly: "No, you must keep it a secret!"
Qi Mingyu looked at her and smiled gently.
Zhou Shuwan felt a little frightened when the other party laid out the most precious supplies in front of her and her family without reservation.
Qi Mingyu noticed her uneasiness, put away his smile, placed his broad palm on her shoulder, and said softly: "Wanwan, I believe in you and your parents!
Do you know what impresses me most about you?
Whether it was rescuing the women in the abandoned suburban building or proactively helping Qianqian's child exchange supplies, you recognize the weak, sympathize with them, and help them within your power... You've seen the darkest parts of human nature, yet you still retain your most sincere and tender side. I like you, not only because of your decisiveness and strong personal charm, which deeply attracts me. It's also because of your tenderness that makes me believe that no matter whether I'm at the top or the bottom, you won't abandon me or hurt me... In the end times, once you choose me, you will walk shoulder to shoulder with me!"
I have to say that although Qi Mingyu is a soldier, his love words are so beautiful and sentimental.
Even Zhou Shuwan, who thought he had a heart of steel, couldn't help but feel agitated.
She looked up at him, her eyes gleaming with affection.
This was the first time Qi Mingyu saw such an expression in her eyes so clearly.
He stretched out his arms and gently held her in his arms.
Zhou Shuwan leaned against him a little stiffly, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely pushed him away: "Brother Xiaoyu, I, I can't..."
She looked up with a complicated expression.
Qi Mingyu frowned and looked at her, silent for a moment: "Then what did your behavior mean yesterday?"
It refers to what happened yesterday when he couldn't help himself and Zhou Shuwan was very enthusiastic.
Zhou Shuwan suddenly felt her cheeks burning, but in that environment, everything seemed to be going smoothly and she didn't feel embarrassed.
She was not one of those chaste and heroic women in ancient times who were poisoned by feudal ideas. In her previous life, she extremely hated and despised men's covetousness, but it was only because she didn't want to.
But Qi Mingyu is so pleasing to the eye and has a good personality. He is the type she likes and admires very much. She is not averse to occasionally having some physical release with the handsome man!
What's more, during this period, Qi Mingyu liked to show off his muscles in front of her intentionally or unintentionally. The weather was already hot, and her heart beat faster every time she saw it, and she felt restless.
She was actually seduced by him and was greedy for his body...
She glanced at Qi Mingyu with resentment.
The latter was completely confused, but the other person's resentful expression was pitiful and adorable. He softened his heart and couldn't bear to force her any further, so he coughed lightly and changed the question: "You rejected me because you still don't trust me enough?"
Indeed, because of space, trust is a very important reason!
Seeing that she was silent, Qi Mingyu almost wanted to ask the questions in his heart, but he was worried that he would scare her away and make her no longer willing to live with him.
He thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. You'll see it slowly in the future."
What did you see? His sincerity? Or his character?
Zhou Shuwan didn't figure it out, so he and Qi Mingyu started moving things again.
They moved their things here first, and when Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun also moved their things and arrived, they showed them the interior space.
The two were also very surprised, and felt a little touched and a little frightened that their family was trusted so much.
Qi Mingyu's attitude was very natural, and he politely asked everyone to help him move the supplies from the 60-square-meter small house outside into the room.
From then on they lived outside.
Although I live underground, I don’t see the sun for a long time.
However, being so deep from the ground, the temperature in the basement is only around 20 degrees Celsius, which is just the right temperature for human survival.
There is also an oxygen generator in the outer safe room, which eliminates the biggest hidden danger of living in the basement.
After going underground and feeling the temperature, Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun were very happy. They thought it was a good decision to move in. Finally, they didn't have to endure the high temperature of nearly 40 degrees even in the air-conditioned room.
Qi Mingyu also planned it out. The entrance to the basement was rather narrow and could not accommodate a large bed, but ordinary bamboo beds or wooden beds could be disassembled and sent down, and then assembled after being moved to the basement.
Being able to sleep in a bed is better than sleeping on the floor all the time!
