CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 304: GOING TO THE MOUNTAIN

"Should we go to the bunker now or wait until tomorrow?" Ye Xuan felt that the earlier they started the better. But he also didn’t want to rush everyone, so he asked for their opinion first.

"Is there anyone in your team who understands construction and architectural engineering?" Father Chu, who had been in business for many years, asked.

He wanted to know this because setting up a structure is a complex job, and building one by digging mountains is even more complicated.

But if there was someone who understood what they were doing, then they could avoid many detours.

"Jing Xian studied architecture for two years in college. I believe he has the knowledge to supervise the process." Ye Xuan replied to his father-in-law.

He hadn’t expected the course Jing Xian had left halfway to come in handy.

Then you should take a few people with you today and go and access the situation on the mountain and inside the bunker.

Since we are going to be expanding the bunker into something larger, you first have to examine the surroundings and make sure that there is no danger of the mountain suddenly collapsing one day.

You also have to assess the integrity of the structure already in place before you start the expansion.

That bunker has probably been there for decades or longer and no one knows how much longer it can hold on.

Even though it is equivalent to a cave since it is constructed within a mountain, everything involved human activity during its construction.

Therefore, conducting an examination and tests before starting new construction is necessary." Father Chu added

The rest of the family felt that the suggestion made sense.

Then we should go and meet with the others outside.

I believe a couple of hours would be enough for us to assess the bunker and also explore the area near the bunker.

Chu Miao wanted to look around and find the most suitable position to build a teleportation array that could connect to different regions and locations.

The most important was to determine where to build the large -scale teleportation array that would connect to the one she was planning on building on the roof of their current building.

Since she wanted to connect the bunker to other regions and make sure it remained hidden, she also had to find a couple other spots to build small teleportation arrays.

She thought that, in case of an emergency, she had to put up random teleportation arrays in various places.

As long as she could make the bunker the safest place on earth, she would not spare any effort.

Moreover, she also wanted to explore the terrain of the mountain and see if it could be used to their advantage.

Chu Miao still remembered in ancient times how stones and trees could be used as the eyes of an array and turn a place completely different.

"Okay, we better go now then. I don’t know the place, so we will have to either take boats or that large yacht. We can teleport directly when we come back." Chu Miao suggested and Chu Hao and Ye Xuan stood up to follow.

Since the Butler had been mentioned in the list of the people involved in the construction, he wanted to go too but was stopped by Ye Xuan.

"Second Grandpa, your work will only begin when we start construction. Today, we are only going to scout, so you don’t need to come." Ye Xuan didn’t want too many people to go today.

Moreover, there was no need because they weren’t going to be doing any work requiring man power that day.

"Okay then. When you need me just let me know." Butler Cheng said solemnly as if taking an oath.

The three young people then went down to the sixteenth floor to call Jing Xian and the other few brothers except for Pei Ming who was supposed to stay behind.

Soon, two motor boats set off and left the commotion caused by the bustle of people coming to rent boats.

The boats steered towards the mountain and along the way, they encountered many people. People had come out in droves to collect supplies and stock more in case a more sinister disaster than the rain hit them later.

Some people were salvaging some food packed in waterproof packaging that was floating away and swimming in the flood water, probably from some convenience store dozens of kilometers away.

Others were diving under water inside supermarkets and shops to look for any supplies that may be locked inside various stores.

While most of the survivors were still honest and worked hard to get what they could before going home for a shower and a meal, others preferred to harvest where they did not sow.

There were, of course, robbers who waited for others to collect supplies before surrounding them and robbing them blind.

Such groups were in almost every route and if the people collecting supplies didn’t have enough manpower or weapons to defend themselves and protect their belongings, they could only wait to be robbed.

When Chu Hao witnessed the first robbery, he wanted to help. However, his sister stopped him.

"Why did you stop me? They are robbing others in broad daylight. What will they do at night? Those things should be taught a lesson." Chu Hao questioned his sister while seething with rage.

"Take a look at those people. The group being robbed has seven people and there are eight robbers. There is only a difference of one person between the two groups.

I am sure from the energy fluctuations around them that at least two people have superpowers in the group getting robbed. But, they chose to do nothing. If they all stood together and fought against those thieves, they would definitely win. However, look at them. As soon as they got surrounded, the group became divided. There are those who want to fight for their supplies, and there are cowards who would rather have all their supplies taken than take a risk and fight."
