Chapter 6 - Build a top-notch safe house.

Ethan left the loan company with a cheerful smile.

He glanced back at the office building, a faint hint of mockery on his lips."What good people they are! Giving me money for free."

From that moment on, Ethan and Chen Xiong, Hu Minghua would have no further dealings. In fact, it was highly likely that they would all perish in the apocalyptic cold wave that was to come in a month's time.

Now, Ethan had about nine million yuan at his disposal, more than enough to implement his plan.

Driving his car, he arrived at the renowned Zhanlong Security Company in Tianhai City. Zhanlong was one of the largest security companies in the country, providing security services specifically for the ultra-wealthy and celebrities. At times, even high-ranking officials would request their assistance.

The reason Ethan sought them out was because, in his previous life, he had heard that Zhanlong had built a top-tier safe room for the wealthiest man in Jiangnan Province. It was said that this real estate tycoon continued to live a lavish lifestyle even during the apocalypse, thanks in no small part to the safe room constructed by Zhanlong.

Upon arriving at Zhanlong, Ethan explained his purpose to the receptionist, who promptly escorted him to a lounge where she served him freshly brewed coffee. Soon after, a burly, broad-shouldered man with a crew cut entered. Dressed in a black suit, he exuded an air of intimidation, making one worry that his clothes might burst at the seams. However, such a presence did indeed make clients feel secure.

"Hello, I'm Wu Huairen, the manager of the business department. What can we do for you?" asked Wu Huairen as he sat down next to Ethan.

After taking a sip of coffee, Ethan replied,"I need you to build a safe room for me. One that can withstand the end of the world."

Wu Huairen's eyes immediately became serious. To others, this request might seem laughable, but not to Zhanlong. The wealthiest and most powerful individuals in the world were often the most afraid of death. Long ago, some foreign billionaires had spent billions of dollars on constructing doomsday shelters, and over the years, many other rich people worldwide followed suit. Some were genuinely fearful of natural disasters, while others, having made too many enemies, simply wanted to feel more secure. Thus, Zhanlong's doomsday safe rooms came into being to meet market demand.

Hearing Ethan's request, Wu Huairen became very courteous. Such large orders were rare, and he assured Ethan,"Mr. Zhang, Zhanlong is a world-class security company. We can definitely meet your requirements." He then handed Ethan a tablet."Our services are fully customizable. You can select what you need, and the prices are listed."

In the digital age, communication was convenient. Ethan took the tablet and began carefully reviewing the options. Indeed, professional companies offered comprehensive services. As long as the price was right, Zhanlong could fulfill almost any request, including building underground or underwater safe rooms. However, these projects would take too long for Ethan, who only had a month.

But from Wu Huairen's eyes, Ethan could see that it was not that he could not get a gun, but that he was unwilling to wade in muddy waters.

Ethan took a deep breath.

Then he said to Wu Huairen,"I will spend more than 8 million yuan on this safe house project. If I still have problems later, the impact on your company will not be very good."

He stared at Wu Huairen and said word by word,"I just want a self-defense guy. If you can help me with this, I can't treat you badly."

Wu Huairen did not speak, he frowned and weighed this matter.

Of course, he had access.

However, he did not know Ethan's origin, so of course he did not dare to introduce him to Ethan easily.

"You can go back first. Although I can't do this, I can help you find out. If there is any news, I will contact you again."

Wu Huairen obviously couldn't make up his mind for a while.

However, Ethan didn't push too hard. Guns really need to be careful.

He smiled and said,"Well, I'll wait for your news."

"By the way, I'm in a hurry. Please help me build a safe house as soon as possible."

Wu Huairen said:"At most half a month, we can help you build it."

After Ethan finished talking with Wu Huairen, he signed the contract on the spot.

Likewise, he paid a deposit of 1 million yuan.

As for the remaining balance, hehe, there is no chance to pay again in this life.

He left War Dragon Security Company.

The housing problem is basically solved.

Next, Ethan went back to the car and called one of his real-world friends, Liu Yang.

Liu Yang runs a hunting ground in Tianhai City.

Hundreds of acres of land have been chartered in the West Mountain, where various harmless small animals are placed for people to go hunting and recreation on weekdays.

He had many legally obtained crossbows, composite bows, and air guns in his hands.

Ethan had gone to play several times before, so he had Liu Yang's contact information.

He called Liu Yang to buy a batch for himself and offered to buy it at a premium.

Liu Yang is a businessperson, and there will be times to ask Ethan on weekdays, so he easily agreed to this matter.

"Brother Zhang, why did you buy so many equipment? These things can only be used for hunting or playing by yourself. You can't use them to hurt people!"

Liu Yang asked with a smile, but his words were a little cautious.

After all, the goods were sold from him.

If Ethan hurt someone with these weapons, he would also be in trouble.

Of course, people who could open a hunting ground in Tianhai City naturally had a background.

But there is no need for people to take risks because of Ethan, an ordinary friend.

Ethan laughed and said,"You're thinking too much! I made an appointment with a few friends to go hunting in the African Safari Park after a while. So get more equipment!"

Liu Yang spoke twice:"Yo, Brother Zhang can still play! But there are many lions and hyenas in Africa, pay attention to safety!"

"Hmm. Then it's settled. How long will it take me to prepare the things?"

"Hey, I have it ready here, come and pick it up when you have time later."

Ethan did not delay, and immediately drove to the Xishan hunting ground and bought the things back.

For him, the current time is very precious, and not a moment can be wasted.

He bought five steel crossbows, three high-grade composite bows, and 300 bows and crossbows from Liu Yang.

In addition, he also bought two fine hunting knives.

This is made of Damascus steel, which is very tough and sharp. It is extremely difficult to damage unless it is long-term chopping of hard objects.

There's a trunk full of these things.

Looking at this pile of equipment, Ethan's heart was filled with a sense of security.

He drove a truckload of equipment home.

Since they were all purchased through regular channels, he himself had also passed the hunting certificate in order to play, so he was not worried about being questioned by the police.

By the time he got home, it was already dusk.

Ethan went out again and ate a hot pot in Haidilao by himself.

Thinking that he would have to make his own hot pot in the future, he immediately paid for 10,000 hot pot base ingredients from Haidilao.

Haidilao's waiters were all scared silly, thinking that Ethan was someone from some hostile merchant and came to make trouble.

Fortunately, Haidilao's service was better, so he did not directly turn against Ethan.

Later, the store manager came over and asked Ethan, and then accepted the order.

However, the condition is to pay in cash to prevent Ethan from being damaged by hostile merchants.

Ethan was very cheerful and paid over one million directly on the spot.

Such generous handwriting directly made the store manager happy from ear to ear, and also gave 500 copies to Ethan.
