Chapter 138 Building a Home
Arriving at the bright silver elevator door, Jiang Yi pressed the door button.
After unlocking with her fingerprint, the scene inside the elevator was clearly revealed to Yu Yao.
The cylindrical elevator car is made of thick bulletproof glass and has bright lights on top.
The space was large, and the seven of them standing inside at the same time did not feel cramped or uncomfortable.
Through the clean and clear bulletproof glass, she could see the dark mountain wall outside the elevator, which continued to slide down as the elevator went up.
There are only six buttons inside the elevator.
Besides the power button, there are only four buttons: B, B2, B1, and 1.
These correspond to the entrance at the foot of the mountain, the entrance to the reservoir, the entrance to the warehouse, and the entrance on the ground, respectively.
The elevator took a long time to ascend before the LCD screen showed that we had arrived at the B2 floor.
Although the elevator did not stop here, Yu Yao still caught a glimpse of a passageway through the transparent elevator doors.
It must be a passageway leading to the reservoir.
The Qianpo Mountain base has a very advanced rainwater harvesting system.
The collected rainwater must undergo multiple filtration processes before reaching the reservoir.
Once the reservoir is full, it can supply the entire base with water for at least two months of normal use.
Even without rain, it can absorb moisture from the surrounding clouds and filter it for use.
......
After rising for about half a minute, the LCD screen showed that they had reached level B1.
This is the warehouse; most of their supplies, weapons, and equipment are stored here.
Both of these floors are quite far from the mountaintop, so it doesn't prevent the buildings on the mountain from constructing basements.
About a minute later, the elevator reached the top and finally stopped working inside a cylindrical, transparent building.
Through the glass directly in front of her, Yu Yao saw a huge, exquisitely designed, all-white villa.
Before I could even take a closer look, the elevator doors had already opened silently.
Luo Mei excitedly grabbed Yu Yao and was the first to run out of the elevator.
Then, pointing to the villa in front of them, they said, "This is our little white building, which is the common area."
The transparent, cylindrical elevator lobby is located at the very center of the entire site.
Directly in front of the elevator is a huge, small white building with five floors above ground and one floor below ground.
Used for activities involving teammates.
In front of the white villa, there is a small and exquisite white fountain.
Just by standing by the fountain, Yu Yao could feel her pores opening comfortably, and the air filled with a sweet fragrance.
The map in my mind clearly marked four words.
"A spiritual vein fountain?"
The spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain was too abundant to be released, so it condensed into a spring and gushed out!
No wonder there are no zombies, mutated animals, or plants in Thousand Souls Mountain.
Because the spiritual veins diluted the zombie virus in Thousand Soul Mountain.
No wonder the animals and plants in these mountains are all exceptionally tall and sturdy, full of spirit, and so close to Chi Heng and the others.
Because they often stayed by this spring, their bodies were imbued with the aura of the spiritual vein!
No wonder the base is still as bright and clean as ever despite having experienced acid rain.
When acid rain falls, Koizumi neutralizes the harmful substances in the acid rain by releasing spiritual energy, thus protecting the base and the flora and fauna in the mountains.
Although it cannot compare to the true spiritual spring in the Seven-Colored Glazed Realm, this small spring is still brimming with spiritual energy and is quite magical.
The spiritual energy released by the fountain nourishes not only every blade of grass and tree on Thousand Soul Mountain, but also all living things.
Staying here for a long time can subtly transform one's body and special abilities, which is entirely beneficial.
Upon hearing Yu Yao's words, Jiang Yi smiled and asked, "Spirit Vein Fountain? What is that?"
"I haven't seen it in detail either, but it should be spring water gushing out from a spiritual vein at the foot of the mountain."
Jiang Yi: "...The nonsense literature is here."
Luo Mei: "Haha~ Although I don't know exactly what it is, drinking a little bit regularly can definitely change your constitution, and the dishes made with it taste exceptionally good!"
"...That's amazing, really!"
......
Upon entering the small white building, one is immediately struck by its grand yet ingenious interior design.
The basement of the villa houses a karaoke room, a home theater, and a billiards room.
The ground floor houses the living room, kitchen, dining room, and monitoring room.
The monitoring room is quite spacious, with dozens of large screens mounted on the walls.
The system monitors all public spaces within the base and the area below Thousand Souls Mountain, leaving no blind spots.
Yu Yao even saw a radar monitoring system inside.
I learned from the introduction that they had also built this system themselves.
It can cover Thousand Soul Mountain and the surrounding tens of kilometers.
Its main function is to detect whether there are flying objects intruding.
For example, airplanes, fighter jets, drones, or flying weapons.
Once any of them are detected, the radar will automatically release interfering electromagnetic waves, rendering them "blind" and "directionally challenged" in that area.
This is mainly to maintain the privacy of the base.
Yu Yao asked curiously, "Won't your large-scale operations near the capital attract attention?"
Luo Mei then explained to her.
This mountain area has been the property of the Chi family since their ancestors.
Because of its high mountains and deep forests, and its mysterious nature, this place has always been an uninhabited area where no outsiders have ever set foot.
Later, this place was nationalized, but because it could not be explored and its value could not be demonstrated, it was gradually abandoned.
So ten years ago, after Chi Heng gained the attention of the Chinese leadership due to his abilities, he directly negotiated several deals with them, demanding to regain ownership of Qianpo Mountain.
Finally, with the help of Mr. Lei, it was properly retrieved.
After that, whether they were building bases or maintaining secrecy, it was all done with the tacit approval of the higher-ups.
The premise is that all their actions must not harm national interests.
When necessary, we should also lend a helping hand.
It can be considered a mutually beneficial relationship.
......
The second floor of the villa features a fully equipped gym, a professional shooting range, a martial arts training ground, and a fighting ring.
It's usually used by my teammates for training.
The third floor has some sports facilities, such as badminton courts, table tennis tables, and basketball courts.
Both floors have separate changing rooms, shower rooms, and lounges for men and women.
The fourth floor houses the library and study rooms.
The fifth floor of the villa features a huge, open-air, transparent swimming pool.
There are parasols and lounge chairs by the pool.
Whether you're outside or inside the pool, you can enjoy the best views of the ever-changing sea of clouds or the beautiful scenery of the Thousand Souls Mountain range.
In the backyard of the small white building, there is a football field and a tennis court.
Surrounding the football field and tennis courts is a 400-meter inner-circle synthetic running track and some outdoor training equipment.
......
Opposite the small white building, behind the elevator lobby, are four small villas on each side, totaling eight.
From east to west, they are numbers 1 to 8.
Villa No. 1 on the left is empty. Villas No. 2, 3, and 4 are the homes of Jiang Yi, Chi Heng, and Qi Xian, respectively.
Villa No. 5 on the right is empty. Villas No. 6, 7, and 8 are the homes of Dongfang Jin, Luo Mei, and Luo Pingjing, respectively.
Yu Yao was taken on a tour of each of their homes.
I must say, although the villas are not big, they each have their own style and are decorated very meticulously.
In the end, she chose room number 1, which had a white camellia tree at the entrance and the interior decoration that she liked the most.
There are also many green plants, flower beds, and green belts in the residential area and near the small white building.
All the arrangements were thoughtfully planned and designed.
And because of the spiritual vein fountain, it is evergreen all year round and flowers are always in bloom.
Even though Yu Yao already possessed the Seven-Colored Glazed Realm, she was increasingly satisfied with this place.
In any case, one cannot drift aimlessly forever, relying on the Seven-Colored Glazed Realm for survival.
People still need a home, a place to belong.
......
Although Lingxi Peak appears to be wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, its summit area is actually quite large.
It's only because it's so tall that it gives people a different impression.
The summit of Lingxi Peak alone covers more than 500,000 square meters. It would be a waste to build only a few houses there.
Therefore, there are large areas of orchards, vegetable gardens, and grain fields surrounding the house.
The villa area, elevator lobby, and small white buildings are surrounded in the middle.
You can find almost any common domestic or international vegetable, fruit, grain, seasoning, or tea here.
Although the planting volume of each species is not large.
For example, some fruit trees are planted only once; some vegetables are planted only in a small row.
But with Koizumi's presence, the crops in these fields not only looked better, but the yield also increased several times over.
Furthermore, if we only support a few people, it would be more than enough to support them, let alone be self-sufficient.
Around the perimeter of the field, wind power generation devices were designed in eight directions, with huge white windmills turning in the wind, creating a unique atmosphere.
......
At the outermost edge of the entire base, half a meter from the top of the mountain, there is a bright silver fence about half a person's height.
Leaning against the railing, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, and the surging sea of clouds.
You can also overlook the mountains and listen to the whispers of the breeze.
It has to be said that this base was built entirely on Yu Yao's heart.
The scenery is unique, the atmosphere is vibrant, and there is no shortage of water and electricity.
Even before the apocalypse, it would be an excellent vacation destination!
No wonder Luo Mei had been so secretive about Thousand Soul Mountain, refusing to tell Yu Yao the details, only saying she wanted to give her a surprise.
How can this not be a surprise?
......
With such an auspicious location, what was there for Yu Yao to hesitate about? She immediately decided to make this her home.
The home base is large enough to encompass Mount Senpou, and can extend 100 kilometers in each of the other three directions besides the Kyoto base.
Having a larger site will prevent the Kyoto base from expanding and swallowing them up later...
......
After telling the group that she could set up an absolutely safe barrier, Yu Yao immediately selected Thousand Soul Mountain as the team's home in the system.
In an instant, an invisible barrier unfolded from Yu Yao's body, slowly driving away the filth within Thousand Soul Mountain.
In no time, an invisible barrier was formed that enveloped the sky, the ground, and all surrounding areas of Thousand Soul Mountain.
If it could be made visible, people on the ground might see a semi-circular protective shield that firmly holds Thousand Soul Mountain within it.
And Yu Yao's map finally started to work.
......
After the turbid air within the barrier disappeared, the spiritual energy emitted by Koizumi instantly became several times more concentrated.
Because the barrier blocked the invasion of external turbid air and zombie virus, and also prevented the internal spiritual energy from dissipating.
The spiritual energy no longer needs to be mostly used to fight against viruses and turbid energy.
The natural energy naturally filled the interior of the barrier, bringing considerable benefits to all the creatures within.
......
Once the team's home base is officially established, all team members can instantly teleport back to their home base, regardless of their location.
But when you go out, you still have to rely on yourself.
However... Yu Yao doesn't know how to explain this feature to her teammates yet, and hasn't dared to open it up to them for the time being.
After thinking about it, she decided to take some time to work with Luo Mei to create a magic weapon for herself, and at the same time, to create a set of small equipment for everyone.
They pretended to attach the ability to teleport back home to it.
......
I'm home now, and I feel relaxed.
To celebrate everyone's safe return home, the group immediately decided to have a fun outdoor barbecue!
With a little wine and audio-visual equipment, you can drink and sing at the same time.
Only Chi Heng and Qi Xian, who knew someone's alcohol tolerance, looked at Yu Yao, whose expression remained calm.
I just hope she can eat and drink well today...
