Chapter 389: The Secret Deal

Looking at the worker, Yao Ran calmly replied, "I live in the villa next door. I noticed you are installing power grids and generators, so I came by to take a look."

Seeing that she wasn't carrying any weapons, the worker lowered his guard. He wiped the sweat from his brow and returned to his task.

Yao Ran watched them for a while before asking, "Uncle, are you working permanently for the owner of this villa?"

The worker paused and replied, "No, we are just here today to install the power grids and generators."

Seeing her interest, the worker added, "Young lady, do you also want to have power grids installed?"

Yao Ran needed to stay at the base to gather information about The Ark from Du Zhaoyi. Since she planned to remain here and the villa was hers, it wouldn't hurt to improve its defenses.

After a moment of thought, she replied, "Uncle, how much would it cost to install the power grids?"

The worker raised five fingers and said, "Fifty kilograms of food. We only provide the labor." "Can I use any kind of food as payment?" Yao Ran asked.

The worker shook his head and explained, "We only accept food with a long shelf life. If you have medicine, that is even better."

Hearing this, Yao Ran paused for a moment before asking, "Uncle, when will you have time? Can you help me install the power grids today?"

The worker's eyes lit up at her question. He nodded and replied, "We are almost done here, Young Lady. If you have the materials ready, we can take care of it after finishing up."

Since the survivors had only just returned from the underground shelter today, they probably wouldn't cause any trouble for now. However, things might not remain so calm after today. Thinking it would be best to install the power grids as soon as possible, Yao Ran nodded decisively.

"Good. Let's do it today."

She then pointed toward her villa and said, "Uncle, I live in that villa. Once you are done here, you can head straight over."

The worker's face brightened with a smile, and he quickly responded, "Sure. We will finish up here as quickly as we can."

"Alright."

Having settled the arrangement, Yao Ran left the villa and returned to her own. On her way back, she passed Xu Qipeng's villa and noticed several men working busily to install power grids and generators.

She stopped to watch them for a moment before continuing inside.

On the second floor of another villa, Mu Xichen glanced at Xu Ruihan before looking down at Yao Ran, who had just closed the door.

Once Yao Ran went inside, Mu Xichen turned to Xu Ruihan and asked, "Ruihan, what have you been up to lately? Even when we were in the underground shelter, you were hard to find."

Xu Ruihan looked at him and replied calmly, "I'm sorry. Did you need something from me?"

Mu Xichen gestured toward Yao Ran's villa and asked, "What are you doing these days? It has something to do with her, doesn't it?"
