Chapter 238: Digging Well
Since she had plenty of supplies, Yao Ran planned to simply buy a house later, which would save her from having to build one herself.
When Shi Xuan and the others heard this, they exchanged glances.
After a moment of silence, Shi Xuan nodded and said, "Alright. Then we will find the materials without you. If you decide to get materials later, you can just use other supplies to exchange with us."
What he suggested was exactly what Yao Ran wanted, so she agreed. "Alright."
Since Shi Xuan and the others still needed to discuss where to gather construction materials, Yao Ran left with Long Yu first.
Before she closed her door, Long Yu asked, "Are you planning to buy a house in the base later?"
Yao Ran nodded and replied, "Yes. Although building a house doesn't cost many supplies, the time and effort are too much. Since my space can grow food, we can just buy a house later."
"Besides, if we went with Shi Xuan and the others, we'd need to find a place to store the materials and put in the effort to guard them. If we ever really need to build a house, I have more than enough materials to build an entire community. It's just not worth it."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long Yu thought it over and said, "Alright. I will listen to you."
The next day, Yao Ran woke up early. She looked at the alarm clock on her bedside table and saw that it was only seven in the morning. She then entered her space to take a bath and have a simple breakfast.
Due to the high temperatures affecting her appetite, Yao Ran only ate a bowl of sour and spicy cold noodles and drank a glass of orange juice.
She smiled at the elderly couple and said, "Good morning, Grandma Quan, Grandpa Quan. Did you also come out to watch the well-digging?"
Grandma Quan nodded and asked her, "Are you coming out alone?"
"Yes. My friends are still sleeping, so I didn't wake them." Yao Ran replied, walking down the stairs alongside the elderly couple.
When they arrived at the ground floor, many people had already gathered at the building entrance.
Seeing Yao Ran coming, the residents of Building 3 moved aside to let her pass. Although she hadn't done anything to them directly, they still remembered how she'd killed without blinking an eye before.
In the community, everyone knows that they can offend anyone, but not the people living on the 20th floor of Building 3.
Yao Ran glanced briefly at the thin, dirty residents before turning to Grandma Quan and said, "Grandma, I need to talk to the soldiers. You should stay indoors and avoid going out."
Knowing how dangerous the sunlight was, Grandma Quan agreed. "Alright."
After speaking with Grandma Quan, Yao Ran opened her black umbrella and approached the nearest soldier.
Seeing her coming holding an umbrella, the soldier said, "Comrade, it's dangerous to be outside. Please go back."
Yao Ran handed him the plastic bag and said, "Please share this with the others. It is very hot outside, and working in this weather isn't easy."
The soldier looked surprised, but he accepted the plastic bag and said, "Thank you,
Comrade."
