Chapter 26: Warehouse Fire

Lin Shi casually flipped through the book and discovered that it was an illustrated manual, featuring a small figure striking various poses.

It resembled a martial arts secret manual.

With great interest, Lin Shi began reading from the beginning.

The more he read, the more serious his expression became, even somewhat incredulous.

The movements in this book bore a striking resemblance to the "Resonance" he had been practicing!

This greatly shocked Lin Shi!

He immediately jumped off the bed and began practicing the movements as depicted in the book.

Only upon practicing did he realize that while these movements were indeed similar to "Resonance," they were far more complex and difficult to master.

Fortunately, he already had the experience gained from cultivating "Resonance" in his previous life, and his body had been honed over this period, allowing him to barely execute these movements.

With each breath, the movements expanded and contracted, seemingly containing some profound rhythm.

As the first round of movements ended, Lin Shi was drenched in sweat, yet his breathing remained undisturbed, and he felt comfortable all over, warm and cozy.

The effect was several times better than that of "Resonance"!

Although "Resonance" also had the effect of warming the body, it was not very noticeable.

Lin Shi solemnly picked up the dirty book again and flipped to the cover.

The three characters "Yang Sheng Jue" were clearly added later; the original title seemed to have been worn away.

This was by no means an ordinary health book!

Had he not experienced the apocalypse, he might have thought it was just a "martial arts secret manual" sold for a few dollars on the street.

But knowing the miraculous nature of "Resonance" cultivation in the apocalypse, Lin Shi knew this was absolutely a priceless secret manual!

It was only when the magical substance appeared with the arrival of the apocalypse that this technique would be most effective!

At the same time, Lin Shi also had doubts.

"Resonance" did not appear until the sixth year of the apocalypse.

And it was said to have been developed jointly by scientists and martial artists.

Could it be that the rumors were wrong, or perhaps this rumor was a lie spread by the official shelter.

But Lin Shi had a premonition that the emergence of "Resonance" was definitely related to this book!

Now that this book was in his hands, would it change the original future?

Lin Shi pondered for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.

Even if the future really changed, it was not something he needed to worry about now.

Moreover, he was not the only one who knew this technique; there was also that fat Taoist priest.

After waking up from a sleep and finishing the practice of Yang Sheng Jue, Lin Shi found that Liao Peng had already gathered a workforce to start work at the old Taoist temple site early in the morning.

After breakfast, Lin Shi also went to the site.

Two excavators were clearing the remains of the original temple buildings.

Lin Shi found Liao Peng, handed him the blueprints he had designed the night before, and explained the key points to him.

Liao Peng patted his chest and said:

"Okay, boss, I will find an engineer to refine the design drawings.

Also, about the well you mentioned, there was already a well here, buried under the ruins.

I just found out when the construction workers told me."

Lin Shi was somewhat surprised.

This was an unexpected delight.

In the following days, Lin Shi stayed in Sha City.

He booked the purchase of various building materials, discussed the design of the shelter with engineers, and so on.

In his spare time, he practiced the "Yang Sheng Jue," and after a few days, Lin Shi felt that his physical strength had increased more than in the previous ten days combined.

With Lin Shi's cost-no-object investment, the original temple ruins had disappeared, replaced by a large and deep pit.

The shelter's basement had been dug, and the next step was to start construction.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, on the early morning of March 22nd, a phone call made Lin Shi give up the idea of staying in Sha City to follow up on the project.

It was from the warehouse keeper, and the panicked voice came through the phone:

"Boss, the warehouse is on fire!!"

Lin Shi frowned:

"How did it start? How's the cargo?"

"I don't know either, I was sleeping and didn't hear any noise, I don't know how it started! Fortunately, I noticed it early, and only a small part of the cargo was burned..."

Lin Shi could only put aside the work here and entrust it entirely to Liao Peng.

Then he took the plane that day and rushed back to Hai City.

Hai City was pouring with rain.

As soon as Lin Shi got off the plane and turned on his phone, he saw a dozen missed calls, all from the person in charge of the warehouse.

Lin Shi immediately called back one.

But no one answered.

He checked the weather in Hai City for the past two days and found that it was rainy.

Since it's rainy, how could there be a fire?

Just as he got back to the warehouse by car, he heard a loud voice coming from inside the warehouse:

"Throw everything inside out!!"

"You can't do this!! My boss will be back soon!"

It was the voice of the warehouse keeper.

He saw several porters carrying boxes of goods and throwing them out.

It was raining outside, and some of the goods inside could not be rained on.

If they get wet, they are likely to go bad.

"What are you doing?!"

Lin Shi stood at the entrance of the warehouse, his cold eyes sweeping over several people carrying boxes and preparing to throw them out.

A few people were intimidated by Lin Shi's momentum and stopped walking out.

"What are you doing?!"

A middle-aged, thin man came over, saw Lin Shi, and Lin Shi also saw him.

But Lin Shi didn't recognize this person.

"Where did this kid come from, get out of the way!" The thin man looked fierce.

"What are you? Who let you touch my things?!"

Lin Shi asked coldly.

The warehouse keeper heard the voice and ran to Lin Shi with a sad face to complain:

"Boss! You're finally back! Just now I was directing people to unload, and these people suddenly ran in and said the warehouse was theirs, asking us to move our things out immediately, and I couldn't stop them!"

The thin man showed a knowing expression and looked up and down at Lin Shi a few times:

"So you are Lin Shi?"

Before Lin Shi could answer, the thin man pointed to himself with his thumb:

"From today, this warehouse is rented to me, kid.

You burned the landlord's warehouse, and they don't want to rent it to you anymore.

Be smart and take your things and get out!"

The warehouse keeper said indignantly:

"Even if we move things, we need time, right? I said our boss would be here soon, and you didn't even wait to throw things out! Is there any reason to talk?!"

"It's your business, now the warehouse is mine, your things occupy my warehouse, what's wrong with me throwing them out?"

The thin man scratched his ear, looking like he didn't care if you died, which made the warehouse keeper so angry that he couldn't stop panting.

This appearance, even a fool can see that it is targeted.

Lin Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his narrow eyes.

"I signed a contract, and the rent is not due yet.

Whether to rent to me or not is not up to you to say.

Let the landlord come and talk to me with the penalty.

I give you one minute to get out of my place."

"Oh? You're still bluffing with no hair.

I was in the underworld when you were still drinking milk! Get out of the way!"

The thin man reached out to push Lin Shi away like a cat or a dog.

However, Lin Shi grabbed the thin man's hand and twisted it hard!
