Chen Ran opened the car door for Lei Dian Fawang.

Lei Dian Fawang hesitated for a moment, but still jumped into the car.

Chen Ran glanced over with satisfaction, closed the car door, and said to Wang Ming, "Send me the card number, I'll transfer the money."

Chen Ran would not welch on this payment.

Wang Ming was overjoyed and quickly sent the card number. This one million was a truly high sum. He wasn't some amazing private detective; he couldn't earn that much in two years. Now, he'd earned it in two days.

It really was easier to earn money from rich people.

After Chen Ran transferred the money, he said, "Bye-bye then."

Seeing the money arrive, Wang Ming said excitedly, "Young Master Chen, if you have any more errands in the future, I'll definitely handle them beautifully for you."

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, then drove off with Lei Dian Fawang.

At a red light, Chen Ran looked at Lei Dian Fawang and laughed, "From now on, I'll just call you Fawang."

Fawang didn't understand what Chen Ran meant, but just gave a soft woof.

Chen Ran didn't mind. After the apocalypse, when his ability awakened, Fawang's intelligence would develop a second time, no less than that of a human. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to succeed in ambushing him multiple times.

Seeing that Fawang's body was dirty, Chen Ran specifically went to a pet store to buy some bathing products for dogs.

As for dog food, Chen Ran didn't buy any.

Was Fawang an ordinary dog?

He had to be properly provided for. What I eat, he eats. If I have a bite to eat, I'll definitely not let him go hungry.

If I don't have anything to eat, I imagine Fawang won't let me go hungry either.

Chen Ran went straight home. He needed to cultivate his relationship with Fawang during this time.

Because he had traveled too far looking for Fawang, it was more than an hour before Chen Ran arrived at his doorstep.

This was a villa district, and in Shanghai, it could be considered a truly luxurious residential area.

Every inch of land was precious, worth over 300,000 yuan per square meter.

The villa had been bought ten years ago. It wasn't so expensive when it was bought, but it had increased seven or eight times in value in ten years.

Chen Ran's villa was now worth 350 million.

On the day of his rebirth, Chen Ran had mortgaged it in exchange for 300 million from loan sharks, with an interest rate that wasn't low, to be repaid with 330 million a month later.

Heh heh, a month from now, your money will be my money, and my house will still be my house.

Come and try to get it from me if you have the ability.

Passing the security booth, when Chen Ran saw the tall security guard standing post at the entrance, although he had seen him several times since his rebirth, Chen Ran still felt a pang in his heart.

This security guard had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a very simple and honest face, perhaps a little too simple, making him look somewhat foolish.

His name was Su Dazhu. He was Chen Ran's good brother after the apocalypse, and his ability was in physical enhancement.

Invulnerable to weapons, he was incredibly sturdy.

But because of supplies, Chen Ran and Su Dazhu had been cornered. At that time, Chen Ran had not yet mastered Void Walk, and it was Su Dazhu who had held off the opponents.

Chen Ran had escaped successfully, but Su Dazhu had been beaten to death.

It seemed that Chen Ran could still hear Su Dazhu's angry roar before his death.

Although Chen Ran had avenged Su Dazhu afterward, Su Dazhu had disappeared forever.

Chen Ran's eyes were naturally red. Good brother, I'll make sure you eat and drink well in this life.

The two were good brothers after the apocalypse, but their relationship now was only familiar. Chen Ran wasn't in a hurry. When the apocalypse occurred, Su Dazhu would be on duty here, and history would repeat itself, and they would become brothers again.

Chen Ran stopped the car and joked, "Dazhu, after you get off work tonight, I'll take you out for some fun?"

Was the "fun" he was talking about proper?

Su Dazhu smiled憨憨ly, "No, Brother Chen, my mother said that men can't learn to be bad."

Chen Ran found it amusing and asked, "What else did your mother say?"

Su Dazhu grinned, "My mother also said, 'A show of courtesy for no reason is either a trap or thievery.'"

Chen Ran: "..."

Chen Ran took Fawang into the house. The not-small garden and exquisite villa, an unfamiliar scene, made Fawang somewhat timid.

Chen Ran didn't care whether Fawang understood or not, and said with a smile, "Fawang, this is your home from now on. Come on, let's take you for a bath first."

Fawang was really obedient. Although he was a little afraid of water, he still honestly let Chen Ran fuss over him.

While giving Fawang a bath, Chen Ran couldn't help but start thinking about what else he needed to hoard.

If it was just for himself and his brothers, Chen Ran's hoard of food in his small truck would be enough to last him until the end of his life. He couldn't eat it all in a lifetime.

Having been reborn, Chen Ran didn't want to live like he had in his previous life.

If he was the only human left in the whole world, with nothing but monsters around, that kind of bone-chilling loneliness would be unbearable.

Chen Ran wanted more people to be with him, so he might as well just build a settlement himself.

The dangers of the apocalypse didn't just come from food, but even more so from monsters and other survivors.

Although Chen Ran's talent was powerful, he wasn't good at direct combat. To put it bluntly, if hundreds of high-level ability users attacked him at the same time, Chen Ran would only be able to run away.

Wouldn't it be better to recruit more underlings and use a gang fight to counter a gang fight?

In the future, Chen Ran roughly knew which powerful ability users would reveal their talents. Wouldn't it be great to recruit them under his command in advance?

With his ability space and foresight, it would be difficult for him not to become the top power.

Right now, Chen Ran was only hoarding meat. Was that enough?

Of course not. Staple foods, fruits, vegetables, seeds, and so on, Chen Ran hadn't even started hoarding yet.

More importantly, water. After the apocalypse, the water was also polluted.

In the early days of the apocalypse, survivors basically relied on bottled, canned, and barrelled purified water to survive, but the quantity of these waters was limited, and it wasn't easy to obtain.

The happiest days after the apocalypse were probably rainy days.

When the purified water was gone, the survivors had no choice but to turn their attention to water full of viruses, soaked with more or less corpses.

This water wouldn't kill strong survivors, but it would inhibit the development of ability users' powers.

This was only discovered a long time after the apocalypse. In the early days, Chen Ran, who didn't have an ability space, was forced to drink a lot of water full of viruses.

Water is the source of life, and the most important thing.

Thinking about his next actions, Chen Ran finished bathing Fawang.

After the bath, Fawang was much cleaner and looked a little bit more handsome.

Fawang looked at Chen Ran pitifully. Chen Ran smacked his head and smiled, he hadn't given Fawang anything to eat yet.

Chen Ran directly took out a portion of sweet and sour pork ribs from his ability space and specially prepared a bowl for Fawang.

Starving, Fawang began to eat voraciously without saying a word.

Seeing Fawang eating so deliciously, although he had also eaten a lot at noon, Chen Ran, who had been mentally suppressed for a long time, also began to salivate.

Chen Ran also took out a portion of sweet and sour pork ribs for himself to eat.

As Chen Ran ate, he spat out the bones, and Fawang actually imitated him.

Chen Ran smiled as he watched, "Hey, even dogs know how to spit out bones."

As he said that, Chen Ran spat out a bone that he had finished eating.

Realizing something, Chen Ran's face darkened. I, damn it, I cursed myself.
