Meanwhile, outside the car, wang juu transferred the initial amount of money to Manager Zhen to start the project tomorrow. After the successful transaction, both of them left the place.
Manager Zhen called his right-hand man and said that they needed to start the construction tomorrow and ordered him to prepare the materials.
Wang juu drove the car as he said "Young master we now have a total of 500 million dollars in account because 100 million was spent on the plot and 150 million was spent on the advance payment of the stronghold and 350 million will be spent as the finale payment of stronghold so we have 150 million to spent"
Li Wei said "We need to enjoy all the time we have before the apocalypse arrives and if we can't then don't blame me for that"
Wang juu said, "Then young master how about we go on vacation for a week and enjoy ourselves before that?"
Li Wei nodded and said "Alright book the tickets we are going to the most expensive place and enjoy ourselves with women and don't forget that we have to bring some people who can manage the stronghold but are loyal to me "
Wang juu nodded and said that he will book the flight the day after tomorrow as they needed to present when the project starts and after that, they can go anywhere.
Another two hours went by as they reached the city they straight away got in the 5-star hotel to eat something.
After Eating one of the best courses in the hotel they left with a satisfactory smile. Li Wei looked at his watch and it was past 5 in the evening. Suddenly cold breeze of air passed by as Li was pulled in his memories of the apocalypse as he never got this feeling in that heated world even though he was rich.
Most of the people were wiped out after one week of the apocalypse as no one had stocked pile the food and water.
Water basically evaporated slowly in heat of 90°C all over the world.
Li Wei was afraid that many groups and organizations emerged after the apocalypse as they provided water and food to refugees with the condition of becoming slaves.
Becoming a slave for some food and water in the apocalypse was a thing that Li Wei had seen with his own eyes when some random dude came to their cap one day and suggested to go to some location where they could survive.
He knew one such person and he was tempted at first to go there but many people said that those who became slaves either died from exhaustion or were cannibalized.
Mankind reached to the point that they would do anything in order to survive and Li Wei was also one of them but he was betrayed and was killed by his friend.
As he remembered the horrific memories he was pulled out of that by wang who was shaking Li aggressively.
Wang juu said, "Young master what were you thinking so deeply?"
Li Wei just shook his head and said "Forget about it did you look up the people who we needed to recruit?"
wang juu answered "Young master I looked at some people who are proficient in what they do but there is a problem"
"And what's that ?" Li Wei asked. Wang took out his tablet and showed it to Li as he said "These are the people but many of them rejected our offer by saying that they don't need to work in the stronghold"
Li Wei smiled and said "Well if they don't want then don't recruit them because they will regret it later when the apocalypse arrives"
"Search for the black market as I have some things that I wanted to purchase," he said he took the car key from wang because he wanted to feel the breeze while driving as he left work to wang.
Li Wei drove the car enjoying the breeze as in the back seat wang was making calls to people who had connections to the black market.
After some time driving wang said, "Young master I found the place where we can purchase anything here's the address"
He gave the address and Li Wei drove in that direction some time went by as city traffic took them an hour but they reached the address and saw that it was actually a high-end barber shop Li Wei was curious as to how this shop was related to the black market but he didn't think that they don't have.
After entering the shop he sat on the chair and he said: "I want all the facilities that you provide". The barber nodded and began to cut Li Wei's hair giving him a handsome look, As the barber was finishing Li Wei's hair he was interrupted by wang who said"In shadows, we trust, where light cannot follow."
The moment he said that barber glanced at Li Wei as he turned back and looked at wang who was holding the table looking like a butler.
"What do you want?" the barber said with a serious tone. He didn't ask any questions because he knew that not everybody knew the code sentence for the Black market.
Li Wei looked at the barber and said only one-word 'Guns'. wang was surprised to hear that his young master wanted guns from Blackmerket he thought that Li Wei wanted something different some item that can be useful in the stronghold but after giving it a thought he also agreed that guns can be useful in a stronghold.
The barber's eyes narrowed as he heard the word 'Guns'. his hand twitched as he reached for something under the counter.
A moment later, he took out a small key and said "Follow me". After saying that he walked towards the front door closed it and again walked towards the back door that was camouflaged by the colors and wallpapers.
Li Wei and Wang followed him and entered the hidden back door they stumbled around the storage that also looked normal but the barber opened the storage closet and entered another hidden door under the storage closet.
As they passed they descended into the underground chamber lit by flickering bulbs. The temperature dropped and the smell filled the air.
They entered a room that was lined with shelves of weapons such as rifles, handguns, and ammunition all neatly arranged but were behind some tough glass that looked like it wouldn't shatter no matter what you do.
The barber looked behind and said to the two "You got the money for these, right?".
Li Wei nodded and looked at wang who took out a bank card and said "This card will be given to you after we transfer the money in it so don't worry about anything and show us the products"
The barber approved and unlocked the glass panel and said "Pick what you want".
Li Wei stepped forward, his hand grazing over several weapons before saying "I'll take this black assault rifle and that pistol there" he pointed at the pistol at the last.
"I want 5 of the assault rifles and 10 pistols and as much ammo as you have." Li Wei said as he looked at the barber who was looking at Li Wei with a smile and said "Sure I have 10000 ammo for assault rifles and 20000 ammo for pistols with that it will be 10 million dollars"
Li Wei didn't flinched at the price as he looked at Wang who reached into his pocket and pulled out the black card he had shown to the barber and began to operate his tablet to transfer the amount into the card.
After a minute transfer was completed and he handed the black card to the barber. Wang said "I want these to be delivered to this address but sent it after 10 days" he shared the location of their new stronghold.
After the transaction, Li Wei and Wang turned to leave Wang finally said in a low voice "Young master, that's a lot of firepower..... Are we expecting that much trouble?"
Li Wei stopped and looked back at Wang. His eyes were cold and calculated as he said "Not expecting but to prepare" he paused and said again "Do you think when people come to our stronghold will they just stare at the building?... No, they will not, they will do whatever is necessary to enter our home and I don't want that"
Wang nodded as he realized the weight of the upcoming apocalypse was touched and that the young master will not let the harm come first.
He swore that he would become someone that young master would trust him no matter the situation they were in.
As they stepped out into the dimly lit streets the cool night air hit them. Li Wei now just wanted to sleep and forget about everything because he was exhausted from traveling and thinking all day long.
