Apocalyptic Rebirth

After reading the introduction to the safe house, Zhang Yi immediately selected his preferred service options.

First and foremost, the entire house was reinforced, with all materials replaced. The walls, ceilings, and floors were all replaced with 100mm thick steel plates. The windows were fitted with bulletproof organic glass.

Next, a ventilation system was installed with an air filtration system to prevent harmful gases from entering from the outside.

Lastly, a comprehensive monitoring system was installed to monitor all angles inside and outside the house. The doors were replaced with heavy metal doors of the same material as bank vaults, making them nearly impervious even to explosives.

In short, Zhang Yi's sole request was to turn his house into an invincible fortress.

After checking these options, Zhang Yi handed the computer over to Wu Huairen.

Upon finishing the review, Wu Huairen also couldn't help but widen his eyes. A house that was merely 120 square meters had been transformed into a veritable fortress.

"Just add some weapons, and this is practically a large-scale stronghold!" Wu Huairen muttered.

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.

"Oh, you have expertise in strongholds as well?" Zhang Yi asked.

Wu Huairen grinned and said, "I used to work as a mercenary overseas, so I'm quite knowledgeable about military and weapons."

A spark of insight lit up in Zhang Yi's mind.

He suddenly lowered his voice and said to Wu Huairen, "Do you have a way to obtain guns?"

This question caused Wu Huairen's expression to turn serious. Firearms were not allowed for private ownership in China.

"Mr. Zhang, you should understand that, in principle, those kinds of things are not allowed for private individuals," Wu Huairen whispered.

"Are you facing some terrifying enemies that make you so afraid?" Zhang Yi tried to leverage the situation.

"Right, I've offended some dangerous individuals, and they are ruthless in their actions, and they possess firearms," Zhang Yi said. "I thought maybe I could get some guns for self-defense. Otherwise, I'll just have to hide in the house and take a beating, which isn't a good situation."

Wu Huairen chuckled, "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. We're a legitimate company."

However, from Wu Huairen's gaze, Zhang Yi could tell that he was capable of obtaining guns, but he was unwilling to get involved.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and then said to Wu Huairen, "This security house project will cost over 8 million yuan. If I encounter more problems later on, it won't reflect well on your company."

He stared at Wu Huairen and said each word deliberately, "I just want some means of self-defense. If you can help me with this favor, I'll make it worth your while."

Wu Huairen remained silent, furrowing his brows as he weighed the situation. He did have connections, but he wasn't sure about Zhang Yi's background and didn't want to recommend anything lightly.

"You should head back for now. Although I can't handle this matter myself, I can inquire and see if there's any information. If I find something, I'll contact you."

Wu Huairen was clearly struggling to make a decision in the moment.

However, Zhang Yi didn't press too hard. Firearms were indeed something to be cautious about.

"Alright, I'll await your message then."

"Oh, I'm in a hurry for this matter. Please help me expedite the process of building the safe house."

Wu Huairen said, "Within two weeks, we'll be able to complete the construction for you."

After the discussion with Wu Huairen, Zhang Yi immediately signed the contract on the spot.

Similarly, he paid a deposit of 1 million yuan.

As for the remaining payment, well, there wouldn't be a chance to make it again in this lifetime.

Leaving the Zhanlong Security Company, the housing issue was mostly resolved.

Next, Zhang Yi returned to his car and called an acquaintance, Liu Yang.

Liu Yang operated a hunting ground in Tianhai City. He leased hundreds of acres of land in the Xishan area, stocked with various harmless small animals for hunting and recreation.

He had legal access to crossbows, compound bows, and air rifles.

Zhang Yi had visited a few times before, so he had Liu Yang's contact information.

He called Liu Yang to help him purchase a batch of equipment, and he even offered to buy at a premium.

Liu Yang, being a businessman and having favors from Zhang Yi, readily agreed.

"Zhang, what do you need so many tools for? These things are only for hunting or personal use. Don't use them to harm others!" Liu Yang asked with a cautious tone, even as he smiled.

After all, the items were being sold by him.

In case Zhang Yi used these weapons to hurt someone, Liu Yang could face trouble.

Of course, those who could run a hunting ground in Tianhai City naturally had connections. However, they didn't need to take unnecessary risks due to a regular friend like Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi chuckled, "You're overthinking it! I've arranged to go with some friends to an African wildlife park for hunting. So, I need some extra equipment!"

Liu Yang clicked his tongue twice, "Well, Zhang, you sure know how to have fun! But be cautious, Africa has many lions and hyenas. Stay safe!"

"Yeah, that's the plan. So, it's settled. How soon can you prepare the equipment?"

"Hey, I've got some ready here. Just come over whenever you're free."

Zhang Yi wasted no time and headed to the Xishan hunting ground, buying the equipment from Liu Yang.

For him, time was precious now, and every moment counted.

He purchased five high-quality steel crossbows, three advanced compound bows, and 300 arrows and bolts for each. Additionally, he bought two top-notch hunting knives made from Damascus steel, known for their resilience and sharpness.

All this equipment filled the trunk of his car.

Staring at the heap of gear, Zhang Yi felt a sense of security.

He drove the loaded car back home.

Since he had obtained everything through legal channels and had obtained a hunting license in the past, he wasn't worried about police questioning.

By the time he got home, it was already dusk.

Zhang Yi went out again and treated himself to a hearty hot pot meal at Hai Di Lao.

Thinking about the fact that he'd have to cook his own hot pot from now on, he promptly placed an order for 10,000 portions of hot pot base from Hai Di Lao.

The servers at Hai Di Lao were stunned, wondering if Zhang Yi was from a rival business trying to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Hai Di Lao's service was good, so they didn't confront Zhang Yi.

Later, the store manager came over, questioned Zhang Yi, and finally accepted the order. However, the condition was that it had to be paid in cash to prevent any potential sabotage from Zhang Yi if he were a hostile competitor.

Zhang Yi readily agreed, immediately paying over a million yuan in cash.

Such a generous gesture made the store manager beam with joy, and he even threw in an extra 500 portions as a gift to Zhang Yi.
