() The next day.

Xia Feng got up early, because Brother Ace didn't leave, the stone in his heart was easily put down, which made him feel good, humming a little song all the way, and running down the stairs in a bouncing manner.

Hurd and his aunt, who were preparing breakfast, looked surprised.

"Xia Feng, why are you still on the ground?"

The summer breeze lifted the cuffs of the trousers.

"Second uncle, my injuries are all healed, don't you believe me, look at the whiteness of my thighs?"

Looking at Xia Feng's pink skin that had regrown, Hurd frowned.

"Hey, this kid's body is really weird."

.............

After breakfast, Xia Feng summoned the turtles and turtles to their rooms for a meeting, and told everyone that he was going to set up his own door.

The turtle was the first to raise his hands in approval.

"I agree, although I also like Sister Vina, I still want to live in my own home."

Ifrit also raised her hand excitedly.

"I also agree, if you have your own turf, you can have a BBQ party, hehehe."

Turtle continued to echo.

"When you make money, you can buy snacks to eat."

The two little girls sang and discussed their future plans.

"yes, I'm going to buy a lot of candy."

"I want to buy Wangzi milk."

"I'm going to buy one of those oversized princess beds in books."

"I'm going to plant a Christmas tree in my yard."

Xia Feng immediately waved his hand.

"Stop, stop, you guys should be this family, besides, you can't buy Wangzi milk with any amount of money, it's a specialty of my hometown."

Among the crowd, only Brother Ace calmly gave advice.

"I think what to buy is an afterthought, and the most important thing at the moment is that we need a headquarters, or a stronghold."

That's right, this is also what Xia Feng thought, although the second uncle is very good to them, but it is only limited to life, he can't set up his headquarters in the courtyard of the second uncle's house.

This may seem like an indifferent thing at the moment, but it will become very important in the future, and the existence of the headquarters involves many things, such as business negotiations, material reserves, security and detection construction, and even its own medical system.

Of course, with his current money, it is impossible to build a headquarters like Black Steel International, but at least it must be said that in the past, it must be worthy of the word "headquarters", not a farm compound.

...........

"Turtle, get our funds out."

"Oh."

Because the denomination of Terra is relatively large, all the money together does not look like much.

In addition to the expenses along the way, Hemmer still has 70,005 left in his envelope, because he bought a mobile phone and something like that a few days ago, the 50,000 that the Platts brothers gave him is still 40,0006, plus the 7,000 yuan in Brother Ace's wallet, they now have a total of 128,000 funds.

In addition to this, they also have two S-rank source stones.

Turning the pieces into a whole, Xia Feng handed over the extra 20,008 to his second uncle, which can be regarded as leaving a way back.

Then he set off with 100,000 yuan to find the headquarters.

.............

There are many particulars about the specific location of the headquarters, such as transportation, strategic significance, resources available in the surrounding area, etc., but these are not in the scope of consideration for him, because the headquarters can be replaced.

Needless to say, the headquarters must be located in Hapi City, and there are three main reasons for this.

First, light manganese ore is very attractive.

Second, the privilege of the infected.

Third, he was too lazy to go to other cities, and he was very tired.

Now that it is in the city of Happi, the first choice is undoubtedly the Kilt neighborhood where infected people and ordinary people live.

According to Xia Feng's concept, the headquarters they need now does not need to be too luxurious, but the site must be large enough, with a business area, a logistics reserve area, a restaurant accommodation area, and possibly a medical area, which must be separated.

The development of an organization cannot be based on just four people, and there will definitely be new members joining in the future, at least for a certain period of time, this headquarters must be enough for other purposes.

Before leaving, he briefly inquired with Hurd, and the housing prices in the Kilt neighborhood were not too expensive, Area C was the cheapest, Area A was medium, and only Area B would be slightly more expensive, because Area B was considered a commercial area, but it didn't matter, they wouldn't buy it directly, but rent it.

After determining the general direction, Xia Feng and his party began to look for the "headquarters" in the Celt neighborhood.

............

Three hours later.

Xia Feng squatted under a big tree and stuck out his tongue.

"Turtle, give me water."

"Give."

After pouring a few mouthfuls of water, Xia Feng wiped the sweat from his head.

Throughout the morning, they walked around the entire A area several times in the sun, but unfortunately, they did not find a suitable house, and the biggest reason was not that it was too expensive, but that it was too low.

To put it bluntly, the houses in Area A are all civilian housing, too small, too dilapidated, too shabby, and occasionally meet good people who don't rent them, and they don't even find one like the second uncle's house.

Gritting his teeth, it seems that he can only go to Area B.

............

............

Four hours later.

The time was close to dusk, and for a whole afternoon, they also walked around Area B, omitting the process and directly saying the result, there was no suitable one.

There are a total of four main streets in the entire Kilt B area, the first three streets are close to the A area, and there are many shops and shopping malls, which seem to be relatively prosperous.

And their current location is the fourth street, I don't know why, this street looks very deserted, and the further you go inside, the more sparsely populated the wide road becomes.

.............

The turtle and turtle followed Xia Feng listlessly.

"Big windmill, there is no one in this place, and if you go any further, you will have to go out of the city."

Xia Feng stopped and sighed helplessly, indeed, this is already the end of the fourth street, and there are no decent houses further on.

"Why don't we go back to ...... first"

"Hey! Yo-yo, you see this yard seems to be empty. ”

Xia Feng followed Ifrit's fingers, and on the opposite side of the street, a row of regular storefronts appeared in view.

Observe carefully, this is three facades connected together, because the color of the façade stone bricks is dark, so he didn't find it at first, and thought it was an old and dilapidated house, at this time, a closer look, these houses look really good.

Seeing that Xia Feng was a little concerned, Ace said loudly.

"Xia Feng, why don't we go over and ask?"

"However, they didn't write that they wanted to rent it."

It is true that these houses are not labeled as renting or selling, but a closer look reveals that except for the one on the far right, which seems to be inhabited, the other two are clearly empty.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal to ask."

"Okay."

...............

Xia Feng and his party walked across the road, and at this time, in front of the house, there was a teenager with a small flat head playing ball alone.

Seeing a group of people walking towards him, the boy put down the football with some confusion.

Walking up to the young man, Xia Feng pointed to the house behind him and asked first.

"Little brother, are you from this family?"

"This is my house, what's wrong?"

"Are these two buildings next to it too?"

"yes."

"Oh, that's good, we see that your two houses are empty, and we want to ask if you have any plans to rent them out."

Hearing Xia Feng's words, the young man shouted back at the throat of the male duck who was in the period of voice change.

"Mom, someone rents a house!"

...............

Soon they were received by the boy's mother, not a nice and nice mother, but a sturdy old woman who looked a little messy.

After talking, these three houses belong to hers, and the two next ones are now empty and can be rented at any time.

Xia Feng took a brief visit, I don't know if I don't see it, this look is really a surprise.

The structure of these two houses is basically the same, the façade near the outside of the street has two floors, the area is close to 400 square meters, although the interior is not gorgeously decorated, but the hall and compartments are very reasonable, no matter what industry you are engaged in.

Inside, there is a large courtyard paved with a stone road, and a hidden basement in the corner of the courtyard, and at the end of the stone road, the main building for living, a small four-story building.

Xia Feng and the others visited before and after, standing at the door, there is a spacious sidewalk between the façade and the road, although the neighborhood is not as prosperous as other streets, but there are still a few open shops, Xia Feng saw a restaurant, a grocery store, and a photo studio.

Xia Feng looked at the turtle next to him with an excited face.

"How's that, do you like it here?"

"Yes."

The turtle nodded desperately.

It can be seen that everyone is very satisfied, I didn't expect to find such a suitable house in such a remote place.

............

After talking, the price given by the landlord lady was 88,000 per year, which scared Xia Feng.

"Eldest sister, we don't want two, I only need the middle one."

"That's right, it's the price of a building, 80,008, oh yes, you don't have to bargain with me, this price is fixed, if you agree, I'll give you the key, if you don't work, I'll leave, I'm still in a hurry to cook."

“...........”

Xia Feng can see that this is not a pit or a bully, he doesn't understand the house price, the attitude of the landlord is very resolute, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the price is high, but I don't know for what reason, even if the two houses are empty, she will not reduce the price.

Xia Feng gritted his teeth, money is earned, not saved.

"Smack!"

88,000 Terra coins slapped on the table.

"I rented it, give me the key!"

..............

After signing the contract, taking the key, and this time having their own house, the turtle and Ifrit held hands and happily circled in circles.

Ace smiled and patted Xia Feng on the shoulder.

"We're going to work together this time."

The turtle looked at Xia Feng with red eyes.

"Big windmill, we finally have our own home."

"Yes."

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, everyone simply cleaned up the leaves and debris in front of the door.

Afterwards, Xia Feng ran to the photo studio across the road and called the owner of the photo studio.

...........

This is the first day that they have really stabilized, and it is also the beginning of a new journey that is about to begin.

Standing in front of their "headquarters", Xia Feng, Turtle Turtle, Ace, Ifrit, and the four of them leaned together and took a memorable photo.

Xia Feng smiled with satisfaction.

Ace gave a thumbs up.

Turtle tortoise compared to scissor hands.

Ifrit grinned heartlessly.

As the sun sets, the figures of the four people are frozen in this photo.

...........

...........

...........

Years later, someone holds a yellowed photograph in their hand.

In the photo, the expressions of the four people are still bright, as if they have the most precious thing in the world at the moment when the photo is frozen.

Everything is like yesterday.

"Let's go!"

Blood dripped onto the yellowed photograph, and mixed with the blood, along with a cold tear.

The path of the king was destined to be accompanied by blood and sacrifice, which he had known for a long time.

In the dark, he seems to have saved something, and he seems to have changed something.

"Big windmill!"

He looked back blankly, but there was no one behind him.

He seems to have fulfilled his mission.

But those who have passed away will never return, like the kind call that he can no longer hear, only echoing in his head, but never again in this life.

..........

Unless, everything is back to square one.
