After reviewing the introduction to safe houses, Zhang Yi promptly selected his service items.
Firstly, the entire house was reinforced by replacing all structural materials. Walls, ceilings, and floors were all upgraded to 200mm thick alloy, replacing the original construction materials. This aerospace material, weighing only one-third of steel but with ten times its strength, was ideal for embedding into the building where Zhang Yi resided, ensuring no issues with structural overload.
The window glass was made of the world's best bulletproof glass.
Secondly, ventilation systems were equipped with air filtration functions, preventing harmful gases from entering.
Lastly, a complete surveillance system was installed to monitor the house inside and out from all angles without blind spots. Additionally, all doors were replaced with heavy-duty theft-proof doors similar to those of bank vaults, making them resistant even to small explosives.
In summary, Zhang Yi's sole requirement was to transform his house into an impregnable fortress.
After selecting these options, Zhang Yi handed the computer to Wu Huai Ren.
After Wu Huai Ren finished reading, his eyes widened. A house of only 120 square meters transformed into what resembled a fortress.
"With weapons added, this is practically a stronghold!" Wu Huai Ren muttered.
Hearing this, Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. "Oh, do you have experience with fortifications?"
Wu Huai Ren chuckled. "I used to work as a mercenary abroad. I'm quite knowledgeable about military weaponry."
A sudden idea flashed through Zhang Yi's mind. He lowered his voice and asked Wu Huai Ren, "Do you have a way to acquire firearms?"
This question made Wu Huai Ren's expression serious. Firearms were not allowed for private ownership in Huaguo.
"Mr. Zhang, you should understand that, in principle, such items are not allowed for private ownership," Wu Huai Ren said in a low voice.
"Have you encountered some terrifying enemies that make you so afraid?" Zhang Yi probed.
"Yes, I've offended some people in the underworld. They are ruthless and have guns," Zhang Yi replied. "I just thought, maybe I could get some guns for self-defense. Otherwise, I can only hide in the house and take a beating, which is not ideal."
Wu Huai Ren chuckled, "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. We are a legitimate company."
However, from Wu Huai Ren's expression, Zhang Yi could tell that it wasn't that he couldn't acquire guns, but rather, he was unwilling to get involved in murky waters.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yi said, "This security project will cost over eight million yuan. If I encounter any issues later, it wouldn't reflect well on your company."
Staring at Wu Huai Ren, he said, "I just want a safeguard. If you can help me with this favor, I won't forget your kindness."
Wu Huai Ren didn't speak. He furrowed his brows, weighing the matter.
He had connections, but he didn't know Zhang Yi's background, so he didn't dare to casually introduce firearms to him.
"You can go back first. Although I can't handle this matter, I can inquire for you. If there's any news, I'll contact you."
Wu Huai Ren seemed undecided.
However, Zhang Yi didn't press him too hard. Firearms were indeed something to handle with care.
"Alright, I'll wait for your message."
"Oh, and I'm in a hurry with this matter. Please help to manufacture the safe house as soon as possible."
"Within half a month, we can complete the construction," Wu Huai Ren said.
After discussing with Wu Huai Ren, Zhang Yi immediately signed the contract and paid a deposit of one million yuan. As for the remaining payment, well, there would be no chance to pay it in the future.
Leaving the War Dragon Security Company, the housing issue was basically resolved.
Next, Zhang Yi returned to his car and called an acquaintance, Liu Yang.
Liu Yang operated a shooting range in Tianhai City.
He had legal access to many crossbows, compound bows, and air guns. Zhang Yi had visited a few times before, hence he had Liu Yang's contact information.
He asked Liu Yang to purchase a batch of weapons for him and offered to pay a premium for them.
"Liu Ge, why are you buying so many weapons? These things are only used for hunting or personal entertainment. You can't use them to harm people!" Liu Yang chuckled, but his words carried a hint of caution.
After all, the items were sold by him. If Zhang Yi used these weapons to hurt someone, he would also be in trouble.
Of course, those who could operate a shooting range in Tianhai City naturally had some background. However, he didn't need to take risks for a friend like Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi laughed and casually made up a reason, "You're overthinking! I've made plans to go hunting with a few friends in an African wildlife park. So, I need some equipment."
Liu Yang clicked his tongue, "Wow, Zhang Ge, you're quite the adventurer! But be careful, Africa has many lions and hyenas. Stay safe!"
"Okay, it's settled then. How soon can you prepare the items?"
"I have some ready on hand. Just come over when you're free," Liu Yang replied.
Zhang Yi didn't hesitate and immediately drove to the West Mountain shooting range to purchase the equipment from Liu Yang.
For him, time was precious now, and he couldn't afford to waste a moment.
From Liu Yang, he purchased five stainless steel crossbows, three high-end compound bows, and three hundred arrows and bolts each. Additionally, he bought two high-quality hunting knives made of Damascus steel, which were extremely tough and sharp, ideal for self-defense.
With all these items filling the trunk, Zhang Yi felt a strong sense of security.
He then drove the car back home.
Since all the items were purchased through legal channels, and he had obtained a hunting license in the past, he wasn't worried about being questioned by the police.
When he returned home, it was already dusk.
Zhang Yi went out alone to a hotpot restaurant underwater and had a hearty meal.
Thinking that he would have to cook his own hotpot in the future, he immediately ordered 10,000 portions of hotpot base from the restaurant.
The waitstaff at the restaurant were stunned. They thought Zhang Yi might be a rival businessman coming to cause trouble.
However, since the service at the restaurant was good, they didn't confront Zhang Yi directly.
Later, the manager came over and after questioning Zhang Yi, he accepted the order. However, the condition was cash payment to prevent any potential trouble from Zhang Yi being a rival businessman.
Zhang Yi readily agreed and paid over a million yuan on the spot.
With such a generous offer, the manager was overjoyed and even threw in an extra 500 portions for Zhang Yi.
