The day after the Dragon Boat Festival, there are still 170 days until the end of the world.
The national economy has begun to enter a period of immersion, and most local economies across the country have been effectively controlled and normal work and life have basically resumed.
In the south, Xincheng, in the mountains and forests of a surrounding countryside.
There is a construction site that is in full swing...
Li Hongyuan approached Li Yu with the designed professional construction drawings.
Li's father said: "After calculating the approximate cost budget, the wall will be built with a combination of red bricks and reinforced concrete.
Five villas, two houses, and some corridor floors you mentioned are solidified..."
"These add up to almost 5 million. If the house needs to be renovated, it depends on how you decorate it." Father Li said.
----------------------------------------
Li Yu thought that the house needed to be renovated, and was a little worried about his father's aesthetics, so he called a classmate who was engaged in villa design in M City and asked her to help design it. The price would be calculated according to the market price.
Since there was no construction involved, it stands to reason that the design fee would be cheaper. But after all, this was considered a private job for her. Li Yu didn't want to take advantage of this, so he finally gave her a normal market price.
Li Yu opened the electronic notes on his mobile phone and looked through the records he had made in the past few days.
In the past few days, I have been browsing various information on the Internet, and then summarized some lists of necessary supplies for survival:
1. Food: Food with long shelf life, high energy and easy to carry is preferred.
Including: military cans, compressed biscuits, rice flour, oil, salt, sugar, water, nuts, instant noodles, liquor, etc.
Such as milk, meat and vegetables, etc., can be replenished at any time.
Some of them can be homemade, such as bean sprouts, so you can prepare some seeds.
2. Lifestyle categories:
Documents, cash, clothes, hats, gloves, shoes, socks, soap, toothbrush/toothpaste, towels, paper, family planning supplies, hammock/sleeping bag, blanket, umbrella/raincoat, sewing kit, plastic bag/plastic wrap, etc.

Such as: "Friends of Dual-Use Talents", "Wiseman Survival Manual", "Wild Survival Manual", "Barefoot Doctor Manual", etc.
(ps: The above excerpt has been deleted on Zhihu for infringement)
Summarizing the above things, for Li Yu, he must have several essential books, especially "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" published by the Research Office of the Political Department of the Shenyang Military Region, which is simply a must-have for the end of the world.
Teach you how to milk a cow, how to build a house, even how to cook braised pork, how to get a haircut...
The even more exciting operation is that there is a sequel later, which teaches you how to tailor, vegetable processing, and make traditional Chinese medicine...
According to what is written in this book, if the survival of the apocalypse reaches the sequel, it will no longer be considered the apocalypse.
Depending on the progress, 80% have been reconstructed after the disaster. It is estimated that the industrial revolution is almost here.
Li Yu scratched his head and sighed: There is a long way to go.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
In order to build this base, it will be stronger and more suitable for survival.
So Li Yu thought of increasing the budget. As soon as the idea came up, he thought of loans. Anyway, when the end of the world comes and social order collapses, money will become just a piece of paper currency.
Whatever you do to get the money, do it.
So I just brought the bank statement, the land use rights certificate, and the construction map.
Find a bank and apply for a rural entrepreneurship loan.
Since the number was relatively large, the president of the county investment sub-branch was directly lured out.
Fortunately, Li Yu is a person who promotes the economic development of Xincheng, and is also involved in the tourism industry. In addition, he has funds and land certificates. The loan progress is relatively smooth.
But it’s not that simple. After all, it’s a number of 20 million.
So Li Yu took the bank staff to inspect the construction site on site.
Since it is a mortgage loan, the process is estimated to be a bit complicated, and it is expected to take two weeks to receive the payment.
After completing the loan procedures in the county town, Li Yu returned to the construction site.
I happened to meet Lai Dongsheng, a worker in a small workshop run by Li Hongyuan. He was in his 40s and had been following Li Hongyuan for more than ten years.
From the initial project contracting to the later production of culverts, Lai Dongsheng has been working with Li Hongyuan.
He has been working hard for many years, has a loyal and honest character, and is a typical simple rural man.
"Uncle Dong, can you help me too?" Li Yu said.
Lai Dongsheng looked up and saw that it was Li Yu, and said, "It's Yu Zai. Your dad stopped the culvert work and asked me to come over and help."
"Xiaoyu, you've made your mark. You're going to do such a big business as soon as you come back."
Li Yu looked at this man whose complexion had become dark from the sun all year round, and smiled. Uncle Dong had always been very kind to him.
The people are also reliable and honest. I have been working with their family for so many years. No matter how much money I can earn in the village, at least I have a stable income.
Li Yu said: "Uncle Dong, there are a lot of things going on at the construction site, please pay more attention."
The two briefly chatted for a few words, and then Li Yu walked to the construction site.
It looked like the foundation for the wall had been laid, and construction began on top. The hundred-meter-long wall already had a slight outline.
I felt a little at ease. But seeing that there were not too many people on the construction site, only about ten people, I felt that the progress was probably a bit high.
So I went to my father to discuss adding more manpower and building the wall as soon as possible. After the wall was built, we could build the buildings inside.
Because this was such a big move, many villagers came to watch. Li Yu didn't want others to see the series of construction inside.
During the construction period, there were even some villagers talking about it, some with bad character, saying that Li Yu was a fool for spending so much money on this.
Of course, Li Yu didn't pay attention to anything. He just watched these people idle here, and they would cry when the doomsday broke out completely.
So I want to build the wall before starting the construction inside. In this way, people outside will not be able to see inside due to the high wall.
Although Li Hongyuan was a little confused, he still followed Li Yu's idea and found some more people to speed up the construction of the wall.
Ten days later, with dozens of workers working day and night, two mountains, a mountain pond and a plain were finally enclosed.
The 6-meter-high wall, which is nearly a kilometer long, looks like an ancient giant when standing on the mountain.
Fortunately, because this land belongs to the hilly basin terrain and is surrounded by many mountains, the forest has also been protected by government policies over the years, and there has been no indiscriminate deforestation.
Therefore, blocked by two mountains, it is actually difficult for outsiders to see the whole picture clearly except from a very high place.
Li Yu gave his own wit a thumbs up in his mind. It seemed that although this place was big, it was hidden enough.
After the wall was built, Li Yu made a phone call to his brother Li Hang.
My younger brother is two years younger than him. He was naughty and mischievous when he was young, but he finally got into college and majored in home appliance repair.
I have just graduated and am now looking for a job in the city.
Li Hongyuan and Liu Fanghua have three children in total, the eldest is Li Yu, the second is Li Hang, and the third is Li Yuan.
Yes, Li Hongyuan chose his name so casually. After Yang Liwei ascended to heaven in the last century, there was a space craze across the country.
Li Hongyuan then followed the trend and gave these three names to the three people, expressing his unlimited expectations for the motherland to conquer the stars and the sea.
It just so happens that Li Hang has been having trouble finding a job recently. This guy is usually up and down and has a very lively personality.
Li Yu called over: "Xiaohang, what are you busy with now? I heard from dad that you had a conflict with your boss less than a month after your last internship."
The sound from Li Hang's side was a bit noisy, probably from the main road.
Li Hang replied angrily: "Brother! It's not my fault. It's all that stupid supervisor. It's not my fault that I took the blame. He also deducted my internship salary. If I don't beat him up, it's considered a good thing."
Li Yu heard the boy's rude answer, so he said, "Then come back. I have done something at home, so come and help me."
When Li Hang heard this, he immediately became interested. Li Hang has been a naughty child since he was a child, but because Li Yu was two years old, he was beaten wildly by Li Yu.
Although they were the older brothers, the two brothers have always had a good relationship. As the two grew up, Li Yu became more stable, but Li Hang has always been more impulsive. He often got into fights with people outside.
"Okay, brother, take me. I'll buy a ticket and come back." Li Hang didn't say much, and didn't ask him specifically what he was asked to do. In his heart, my brother would definitely not do him any harm.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu thought for a while. He originally wanted Li Yuan to come back with him. But the base hadn't been built yet, so he just paid some attention.
Li Yuan is currently studying medicine at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the provincial capital next door and is still in her sophomore year. Li Yu has told her to come back during the National Day.
Li Yuan replied, "Well, she has always listened to her elder brother's words since she was a child. Unlike her second brother, she was never beaten by her elder brother when she was a child."
But his courage is completely different from Li Hang. Li Hang is bold and impulsive. Li Yuan is timid and gentle, with a gentle personality.
After roughly explaining everything, Li Yu started to put the purchase of supplies on the agenda.
