Lan Ke looked at the list in her hand, surprised, but more satisfied. Bai Hu and the other four were indeed good, and they had thought of many necessities. However, the four of them had never experienced the end of the world, and lacked experience, so they had not thought of many things.
Lan Ke no longer kept it to herself and directly took out the list she had made earlier: "This is the list I made, you can take a look first."
Bai Hu and the other three immediately gathered together, staring with wide eyes as they looked intently at the list that Lan Ke took out.
After a moment, Qian Sheng patted his thigh with sudden realization: "I thought something seemed to be missing, it turned out to be the solar charging panel and solar charging lamp!"
However, Zhao Dong was also puzzled: "Why do we need to prepare special things to protect against the cold?"
Sun Yong rolled his eyes at him in anger: "Are you stupid? You've checked the water, electricity, and gas, but is the heating still on? In this weather, if the heating is turned off, won't we freeze to death? Of course we have to prepare warm clothes!"
Bai Hu nodded in agreement: "Yongzi is right, and we don't know how long the apocalypse will last, so we must prepare as much as possible."
Qian Sheng read the list and felt that there was nothing to add, so he said, "Then prepare according to this list, but how to recruit people? Let me make it clear first, I don't want to have a bunch of bossy uncles or useless people who do nothing."
Bai Hu also felt that this matter was not easy to handle: "What Dasheng said makes sense. We set up a team to survive better, not to work like slaves for others. If we recruit people, it's best if they have special abilities, otherwise they have to have abilities. Also, they have to have decent character. We don't want people who have no bottom line, no matter how powerful they are. What do you think, Sister Lan?"
"Well, what you said is all right. We can take our time recruiting people. There is no need to rush. We will go out to collect supplies tomorrow, and if we meet the right person, we can recruit him."
Lan Ke said as she took out her PAD, opened it, and zoomed in on the electronic map. Although the GPS positioning function was gone, the map data was still there and could still be used.
Lan Ke marked all the nearby shopping malls and continued to discuss with Bai Hu and others: "These are the nearest shopping malls. Our target is them. From near to far, we will try to collect as many as possible."
The five of them talked for more than half an hour, and the aroma of food gradually drifted out of the kitchen. Bai Ling received Lan Ke's instructions and prepared an unusually sumptuous dinner, mostly meat, with plenty of portions.
The appetites of people with special abilities are naturally large, and they have just awakened not long ago, so this is the time when they need to eat a lot. Lan Ke will naturally not let them down.
Anyway, they have enough food and can eat meat and fish all day long.
Bai Ling's cooking skills couldn't compare to Lan Ke's, but it was pretty good among ordinary people. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and the generous portions of meat and vegetables were eaten up, not even the rice in the pot was left.
Qian Sheng lay on the chair like a boneless person, rubbing his stomach and sighing: "Oh my god, I'm finally full. I feel like I haven't been full lately!"
Bai Hu and the other two couldn't help but nod. They also felt very hungry recently and could never eat enough. They didn't know what was going on.
Lan Ke took out a heart core and placed it in front of Bai Ling: "Although Bai Ling didn't kill the monster, she cooked tonight's meal. Remember to pay her."
When Bai Hu and the other three saw this, they quickly took out a heart core each and gave it to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't this too much? I just cooked a meal, and the ingredients are still everyone's."
"Don't worry, I won't let you take advantage. This is three days' wages. You will still cook tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Every meal must be comparable to today's standard. You can't cut corners. Also, remember to wash the dishes later."
Lan Ke booked it for 3 days directly, not wanting Bai Hu and the others to be dissatisfied. After all, the Heart Core was not easy to come by, and if she had to give one for every meal, Bai Ling would be taking advantage, which would be unfair to others.
"Tonight, you can try to see if you can absorb the heart core. If you feel it's difficult, stop and don't hurt yourself." Lan Ke reminded him again and planned to go back to the room.
She still has one important thing to do.
Back in the room, Lan Ke took a shower first before opening the system panel.
Babao, who had been hiding in the system, came out instantly, flying around in the spacious bedroom excitedly, whistling and commenting: "Hey, host, your new house is nice? This bedroom is bigger than your one bedroom and one living room combined. I like this kind of big house!"
Babao flapped his wings and turned several times, finally stopping on the carvings on the headboard and said, "I hate this bed, it's so ugly."
Lan Ke ignored it and opened the private message sent by [Ruthless Swordsman] and read it word by word. There was not much content, but she read it over and over again several times, gradually frowning.
Earlier, when Babao mentioned that the [Ruthless Swordsman] had sent her a private message, she felt it was strange. She couldn't figure out what the [Ruthless Swordsman]'s purpose was, so she could only put the matter aside for the time being.
Now that she has time, the content of the private message makes her think more.
The content of the private message was simple. The Ruthless Swordsman asked her to meet him in the trading area to ask for something. What concerned Lan Ke was that the Ruthless Swordsman's tone was not right, and it was faintly urgent, as if something had happened.
After hesitating for a moment, Lan Ke decided to go to the trading area to meet with the [Ruthless Swordsman]. She had to see what the [Ruthless Swordsman] was up to.
No matter what, the [Ruthless Swordsman] has helped her a lot, and she now owes him a lot of debt. If the [Ruthless Swordsman] really encounters difficulties, she should help.
Of course, that assumes she can really help.
"Dounya, guard it well and don't let anyone in!" After carefully checking the doors and windows, Lan Ke instructed Douya, then sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and entered the system trading area.
There were very few people in the trading area at this time, with only a few pitiful small stalls. Lan Ke glanced around and saw the [Ruthless Swordsman] almost at first glance.
However, for some reason, the [Ruthless Swordsman] today gave her a different feeling. But after a closer look, she couldn't really tell what was different.
Lan Ke frowned and became secretly alert.
At this moment, the Ruthless Swordsman walked over. He stopped in front of Lan Ke and said in a low voice, "I'm glad you came as promised."
Lan Ke suddenly tensed up and took a step back involuntarily. She couldn't explain why, but the words of the Ruthless Swordsman really made her scalp tingle.
Lan Ke became more and more alert, and even regretted coming to the trading area. But since she was already here, she couldn't just turn around and leave, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't have much time, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
