Chapter 96 Don't you know you should close your eyes at this time?

Liu Ruyan stared straight into Zhang Yuan's eyes, slowly tiptoeing and bringing her face closer to his.

Their breaths mingled, and their lips were almost touching.

Liu Ruyan slightly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Yuan's eyes right in front of her, wider than ever, filled with shock.

Liu Ruyan moved her head back a little, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Don't you know you should close your eyes at this time?"

It seemed that Zhang Yuan just reacted at this moment. He lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Ruyan in front of him. "I didn't know before, but I do now."

Before Liu Ruyan could say anything more, she was embraced by Zhang Yuan.

After a few minutes, Liu Ruyan pushed Zhang Yuan away. "Are you a dog?"

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she touched her lips.

Although she couldn't see, she felt that they should be swollen.

Zhang Yuan leaned closer again, stared carefully, and said, "Don't worry, it's just a bit red, not swollen.

I definitely won't bite you next time."

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes. Well, that depends on whether there is a next time.

"What do you think about taking down the previous fence gate and installing it here at the entrance of the living room? It seems just right," Liu Ruyan asked Zhang Yuan.

Knowing that Liu Ruyan was deliberately changing the topic, Zhang Yuan still followed her lead. "I also think it's just right. You stay at home. I'll go take down the gate and bring it back."

"Don't I need to go with you?"

That gate was quite heavy. They had carried it together before.

Zhang Yuan shook his head. "No, I can handle it alone. You can make some design plans first. When I come back, we can start working."

Since Zhang Yuan said so, Liu Ruyan didn't say anything more. She watched Zhang Yuan walk out of the courtyard gate.

Liu Ruyan stood in the courtyard and looked up at the courtyard wall.

The courtyard wall was quite high, about two and a half meters.

At this height, even if an electric fence was installed on it, people in the courtyard wouldn't feel too oppressed.

The house had electricity and water supply. But Liu Ruyan just tried and found that there was electricity but no water.

After all, it had been extremely cold before, and the water pipes were frozen.

Although the temperature had risen now, she didn't know if any pipes had burst. It would probably take some time for the water to come back.

Liu Ruyan also went to the toilet to take a look. It was an ordinary dry toilet.

Presumably, due to limited conditions, it was impossible to lay sewers, so a dry toilet had to be used.

After walking around the courtyard twice, Liu Ruyan had a general plan in mind, waiting for Zhang Yuan to come back so that they could start preparing.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yuan to come back by car. The iron fence gate was on the car roof.

There was no problem parking two cars in the courtyard of over sixty square meters.

The two of them took the gate down from the car roof and directly installed it outside the original door of the living room.

The two doors, one opening outwards and the other inwards, didn't affect each other.

The windows were ordinary glass windows. Liu Ruyan planned to install anti - theft windows outside.

She had anti - theft windows in her space, so she could just take them out and install them.

The house they lived in should have been built on the original grassland of the Mountain Resort.

The grassland of the Mountain Resort was a plain with a large area. Now it was all covered with these single - storey courtyard houses.

There were no two - storey buildings. Unless one climbed onto the roof, it was impossible to see into other people's yards.

The two of them could work in the courtyard without worrying about being seen by anyone.

However, the courtyard gate and the electric fence couldn't be replaced now. They still needed to find Kong Rui to help them buy the materials.

Zhang Yuan contacted Kong Rui and told him about the matter. Kong Rui readily agreed and asked Zhang Yuan to come to him directly.

This time, Zhang Yuan drove with Liu Ruyan to find Kong Rui together.

On the way there, the base was full of people everywhere.

During the two - year extreme cold, people would stay indoors if they could.

Such a crowded scene hadn't been seen for a long time.

Some people were helping to repair the houses, while others were taking the opportunity to rummage through the ruins for things they wanted or might need.

But there were also some people who were walking forward with determination in their eyes, looking like they had clear goals.

"What are they going to do?" Liu Ruyan was a bit puzzled.

Zhang Yuan also looked out a few times. "I don't know. We can ask Captain Kong when we see him later."

As soon as they found Kong Rui and before they could ask, Kong Rui had already spilled out everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

"Now that the temperature has returned to normal, quite a few people say that the disaster is over. They want to leave the base and go back to the city to have a look, hoping that the base can help them with post - disaster reconstruction and start a new life. "

After saying this, Kong Rui let out a deep sigh. "These people are only focused on being happy and don't think at all. Since the temperature rose, the sky has been gray during the day, and the sun hasn't been seen at all. Does this look like the disaster is over?

Besides, the base didn't suffer much damage from this earthquake because the houses in the base were originally very earthquake - resistant and there were no tall buildings.

Who knows what the situation is like in the city now!"

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan listened quietly until Kong Rui finished. Then Zhang Yuan asked, "So what is the base going to do?"

If it were just one or two people's demands, it could be ignored.

But now there were so many people. If they were really left alone, it would surely cause trouble.

"Since they want to go back, take them back to the city to have a look.

Once they see the situation in the city, they won't think about going back anymore.

We couldn't go too far before, but now we can. Maybe we can even rescue some survivors back.

But it's been two years of extreme cold. I don't know how many survivors are left in the city now..."

This was destined to be a heavy topic. Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan fell silent after hearing it.

Kong Rui's status was such that he wasn't a person who needed comfort for being sentimental.

He said so much, first, to find someone to talk to, and second, to ask Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan. "Are you going to go with us to the city this time?"

Go to the city to have a look?

Before hearing Kong Rui ask this question, Liu Ruyan had never thought about it.

But now being asked, she didn't immediately refuse.

In her previous life, due to limited conditions, Liu Ruyan had been to very few places and knew little.

In this life, since there was such a condition, it might be okay to go and have a look.

However, Liu Ruyan didn't agree immediately. She just asked, "Will Captain Kong lead the team this time? When will we set off?"

"I'll lead the team," Kong Rui nodded. "We'll set off in two days. We need to make some preparations."
