Reborn Before the Frozen Apocalypse, I Stock Resources Worth Billions

Compared to the others, this fortress had a guaranteed power supply. Even if the outside was completely cut off, the backup power here was enough to keep the thermostats in the fortress running for a year.

Qin Gongming did not know about the situation outside, he was still hoping that the officials would come and melt the snow so that he could go home and gather with his family.

“Thank you, Uncle. How should 1 address you? My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Xingchen. We were passing by and discovered that there was actually a building there. We were really curious, so we climbed up to take a look.”

“Haha, you youngsters are so energetic. My surname is Qin, my full name is Qin Gongming. I’m the butler here. When you rang the doorbell just now, I thought I heard wrong. After all, it’s been a long time since anyone has come here.”

Ye Xingchen looked around and secretly memorized the structure of the fortress.

Big, it was indeed very big. This was Ye Xingchen s first thought after entering.

Rich people really knew how to play. With such a big piece of land, it must have cost a lot of money to prepare the ground on the top of the mountain in the beginning.

“Doesn’t the owner come back often?”

Ye Xingchen couldn’t even see the end of it. One room after another, one area after another. Ye Xingchen didn’t expect that the roof of this fortress was actually made of glass. However, looking at the mechanisms embedded around here, this design was probably the same as his own villa. They were all made of three layers: metal, glass, and metal.

Qin Gongming brought Ye Xingchen and the others to the innermost house on the left after entering the building.

The servants usually lived here. As Ye Xingchen and the others were not Wang Mingc ong’s friends, Qin Gongming did not bring them to the living room. Instead, he brought them to the living room of their residence.

Wang Mingcong had a bad temper. If he knew that Qin Gongming had brought someone to his living room, Qin Gongming would probably lose his job.

“You guys sit down first, I’ll go pour some tea.”

Ye Xingchen nodded. As soon as Qin Gongming left, Ye Xingchen could not wait to tour the house.

This place was many times bigger than he had imagined.

The house that Qin Gongming and the others lived in was almost as big as the villa that he lived in, let alone the entire fortress.

Ye Xingchen could not help but sigh in his heart. This was the gap between the rich and the poor. He had spent a lot of money to build his own villa, but compared to this current villa, it was pitifully small.

The more Ye Xingchen looked at it, the more satisfied he felt. He was determined to take down this place. With this place, no matter how many people he took in in the future, he could let them all live here. Of course, it was only limited to those people that Ye Xingchen trusted.

When Qin Gongming returned, the tea in his hand had already turned cold.

This place was too big, and now there was a power outage, so Qin Gongming usually turned the heater down to save some electricity.

It was much warmer than the outside, but the temperature inside was still as cold as minus one or two degrees Celsius. However, it was already much better than the outside. At least they could live well in minus one or two degrees Celsius.

“Uncle Qin, do you mind if I call you that? Does your young master rarely come here? Why did you say that no one had come for a long time?”

Qin Gongming placed the tray on the coffee table in front of the sofa where Ye Xingchen and the others were sitting. Other than four cups of tea, there was also a plate of butter cookies and a small plate of preserved nuts.

“Sorry, the weather is a little cold, so the tea is cold. I don’t mind you calling me Uncle Qin, it’s quite friendly.”

“Yes, Young Master hasn’t been here for many years. The last time he came was ten years ago.11

Wang Mingcong hadn’t forgotten that he had a place like this, but he was in the capital, which was too far away from here.

Moreover… The facilities in his house were not worse than those here. There was no need for him to run so far to take refuge here. After ail, in this weather, he was not very willing to go out, let alone go so far.

“That long? Don’t you usually have other people come over? Are you guys going to stay here?”

Qin Gongming placed cups of tea in front of them, then picked up another cup and took a sip.

“Yes, usually, if Young Master doesn’t bring anyone over, no one else will come because this place is quite remote. It seems that this is the first time we’ve seen lost visitors here in such a long time.”

Qin Gongming quite liked Ye Xingchen. He was humble and polite. If his child had not died, he would have been Ye Xingchen’s age by now.

“You guys eat. I don’t have anything good to serve you. 1 hope you don’t mind.”

Ye Xingchen nodded and raised his cup to touch his lips, but he didn’t touch it completely.

What a joke. This Qin Gongming looked kind and amiable, but he was a complete stranger to Ye Xingchen. How could Ye Xingchen eat something given by a stranger?

Zhao Hao was a little uneasy. He had never been to such a luxurious place before. When he heard Qin Gongming’s words, he nodded repeatedly and took a sip of tea before putting it down.

He was at a loss about the kindness shown by this stranger.

Mo Qi, on the other hand, kept stuffing the cookies into her mouth after hearing that they were treats.

“This place should be quite far from the residential area. It should take quite a long time for you to go back. If you don’t mind, why don’t you stay for a meal?” “Haha, that’ll be too troublesome for you, Uncle Qin. But then again, it seems like we’ve been here for so long, but we haven’t seen anyone else.”

Qin Gongming raised his hand and adjusted his glasses, his expression was a little inexplicable. “Previously, there were about two to three hundred people here, but recently, there have been fewer people. Many people can’t continue working..”
