Chapter 25: The Almost Perfect Shelter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The eyes of the construction workers widened in shock. After all, after working for so many years, this was the first time they had met someone as generous as Su Can.

“This…”

The two employees continued to unload the goods without stopping. They were all kinds of fresh food, nuts, and coal.

The supervisor’s gaze was rather fervent when he looked at Su Can again. He thought that he had to cherish such a good client. After that, he looked at the dumbfounded workers next to him and said, “What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Su and wish him good luck in his future endeavors.”

The workers nodded and quickly thanked Su Can. All of them looked at Su Can gratefully when they spoke.

“Thank you, Mr. Su!”

“Alright, alright, there’s no need to be so polite. You deserve this,” Su Can said with a warm smile, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get your share.”

“Yes, yes…”

With this, many workers who were standing behind the supervisor cautiously moved forward and gathered next to the van to pick up their share of the supplies.

Su Can smiled as he looked at them. Although the things he bought them would not last long during the apocalypse, at the very least these people would not be completely unprepared. He hoped that these good people would at least fare decently during the apocalypse.

…

Back at Su Can’s house.

When the bell rang, Li Jiayue rushed over to the door.

“I’m coming! Su Can, are you back?”

However, there was no reply.

“How strange… If it’s not Su Can, then who is it?”

Li Jiayue became wary immediately, and she carefully looked through the peephole.

The man outside the door was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was dressed very well and looked like an elite. He adjusted his tie and asked with a smile, “Hello, may I ask if this is Su Can’s home?”

“Ah, yes. May I ask who you are? Why are you looking for Su Can?” Li Jiayue asked. She did not unlock the door immediately. It was better to be vigilant against strangers after all.

“I’m from the bank. May I ask if Su Can’s home? I have some questions to ask him.”

Li Jiayue shook her head and replied, “Su Can isn’t here. Since you’re from the bank, I’ll give you Su Can’s phone number first. You can call him first.”

The man hastily waved his hand and said, “No need, no need.”

The man’s main purpose for visiting was to ask Su Can about the apocalypse. It had nothing to do with the bank. He continued to say, “Miss, this matter is very important. I hope to have a good talk with Mr. Su face-to-face. It doesn’t matter if he’s not in now. I’ll come again tomorrow. Please tell Mr. Su that I’ll come again tomorrow.”

After saying that, the man turned around and left.

‘What a strange person…’

Li Jiayue leaned against the door and frowned. She felt that the man was quite strange. After a moment, she shrugged it off. She would discuss this with Su Can when he returned.

…

The senior executive from the bank adjusted his tie with an annoyed expression on his face. Fortunately, he still had another plan even if Su Can was not at home.

With this thought in mind, he did not waste time and quickly made his way to the abandoned psychiatric hospital that Su Can bought.

It took him an hour before he finally arrived at his destination. When he saw the scene before him, he took his glasses off and wiped them before he put them on and took a look again; he was in disbelief.

‘Is this what the psychiatric hospital looks like?’

From what he remembered, the psychiatric hospital was old and dilapidated. He did not expect that it would be renovated so quickly after Su Can bought it.

The senior executive looked at the building carefully.

The walls had been repainted, and the fence had also been reconstructed. It was very clean and very well done. There was also a huge boiler room west of the main building.

Although he did not know why Su Can decided to build such a huge boiler room despite the hot weather, he was certain Su Can had his reasons for doing so. He could also see that the outer walls of the building were much thicker than ordinary walls. It was clear that they had been reinforced as well.

A few special snowmobiles could also be seen parked near the entrance of the building.

After a while, he thought that Su Can must have spent tens of millions at least on this place. Clearly, Su Can had put a lot of effort into this place. He could not help but click his tongue at the thought of this.

‘Such a huge shelter… There’s also a warehouse filled with canned food and a huge boiler room… No matter how I look at it, it really does seem like he’s preparing for the apocalypse… If there’s really an apocalypse, he’ll be able to enjoy himself in this shelter…’

After a moment, he brought a pen and notepad out before he began to jot down his observations.

At this time, he suddenly recalled something. Previously, Su Can had said through a message that the things he had been preparing were unsuitable and that he had prepared for the opposite of what was going to happen during the apocalypse.

‘Does this mean that the higher-ups are wrong about the supposedly impending high-temperature disaster?’

The senior executive bit the end of the pen anxiously.

‘There’s no point in guessing. As expected, I still have to meet him before I can come to a conclusion… I’ll be able solve everything once I meet him tomorrow…’

…

Su Can only came home late at night. As soon as he walked in, he found Li Jiayue waiting for him with a worried expression on her face.

“Su Can, you’re finally home!”

“What’s wrong?” Su Can felt his heart skip a beat when he saw her worried expression.

‘Did something happen while I was away?’

“Someone from the bank looked for you today. He said he has a few questions for you.”

“Oh.”

Su Can relaxed as soon as he heard this. Then, he said reassuringly, “It’s okay. You don’t have to worry. I’ll deal with everything.”

Then, his expression turned worried as he continued to say, “However, you do have to be careful when you’re home alone.”
