Hai Changfeng brought the community's registration list over after a while.
He also brought Jin Can and another man under thirty.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened when he saw Fu Yunting as he entered the room.
"Young Master Fu? Is that really you! I was the director in charge of the Yunhai project at Siyun Group before, and I've had dealings with your group. I met you once."
The Yunhai project was an energy project he had led.
Now, this project was still running under the leadership of Fu Yunlei and his sister Jiang Yu.
Fu Yunting had also attended a few proposals at the time, so he had a slight impression of his face.
"Gu Fan?"
"Young Master Fu still remembers my name, it's truly an honor!"
Gu Fan pushed up his thick glasses, looking at Fu Yunting with overwhelming gratitude.
His gaze was like that of a devoted fan, just like Chang Kai's!
An Nuan: "Are you familiar?"
"Not really, but solar energy is a huge part of the energy project. He developed a new type of material. It's thinner than traditional solar panels, only half the thickness of a tablet computer. It has strong storage capacity and can store electricity even on cloudy days. I'm very interested in the project he developed."
When An Nuan renovated her house, she bought the most advanced solar system, but she hadn't encountered anything like what Fu Yunting described.
"I bought the technology outright and am experimenting with it on my territory, but it hasn't been mass-produced yet."
"No wonder, I didn't realize our community was full of hidden talents!"
Gu Fan smiled sheepishly.
"My research was also possible thanks to Young Master Fu's financial assistance. Later, I started developing plant energy, and there have been some promising developments. It's a pity about this environment..."
Gu Fan knew nothing but research.
When the apocalypse arrived, his sister-in-law had come over for dinner, so his family had bought a lot of things, filling the refrigerator.
He also hadn't been home for a long time, so when he drove back, he went to a wholesale supermarket and bought many things.
For over a month, his family only ate one meal a day, and it was thanks to the sample solar system he developed that they managed to survive.
Gu Fan was embarrassed.
"Our family consists of my brother and me, and our mother, plus my sister-in-law and her mother, a total of five people. We don't have any special abilities, unlike Jin Can who can control things. But I can continue to develop new energy sources! My brother is also a graduate student in agriculture, so he can manage farming!"
In fact, the community was newly built with a low occupancy rate. Currently, only a little over forty people had survived.
An Nuan looked at the personnel list.
Besides some children, there were only five elderly people, and the rest were between sixteen and thirty-eight years old.
Among them were teachers, theater actors, pianists, and many people from various business sectors.
It was rare for people like them who relied on scientific research to earn money and buy houses.
An Nuan actually liked people with technical expertise.
She had a good impression of Gu Fan.
He was accomplished at twenty-nine, and his younger brother, Gu Chen, was also capable.
Their mother was a Chinese teacher, which also solved Long'er's educational needs.
"I plan to re-plan and integrate the community. The east district will likely have vegetable fields and pastures, and we will connect it with Guishan Mountain behind it. Tomorrow, Luoluo and Xiaotong will help you move."
Gu Fan nodded obediently.
An Nuan took out food and distributed it to them.
The temperature outside today was only eighteen degrees Celsius, a bit cold for humans.
But for Shi Huai and his beast army, the temperature was just right.
Shi Huai lit a bonfire at the main entrance, with dry straw spread around it. Some animals had somehow found several latex mattresses from somewhere.
Several lionesses were lying on them with their cubs, and two little pandas had also climbed down from Shi Huai and ran to play on the mattresses.
A few horses stood nearby, resting their heads against the bus to sleep.
A pack of wolves were rolling on their backs and playing, occasionally letting out howls.
Everything seemed harmonious.
However, when there was occasional movement outside, the beasts would look over alertly, making a low growl in their throats.
After confirming there was no danger, they would lie down and continue sleeping.
Shi Huai lay lazily on the straw mat, acting as a quiet guardian.
Xiu Ao's companions also volunteered for patrol and guard duty, and together with Tian Nan, they redrew the community map overnight.
An Nuan slept soundly.
When she woke up the next morning, she found everyone busy.
Especially Lan Mi.
There were already over thirty people waiting for her to cut their hair.
Everyone had washed their hair, brought their own dry towels and water cups, and some even brought folding stools, sitting in the line and basking in the sun.
"Why does this feel like old men chatting in a park?"
"We've already cut over twenty heads this morning. We went outside specifically to avoid disturbing you."
Chen Wenjing carried a stack of documents back and put them in the small study room on the first floor.
His main task today was to chat with everyone.
Who was truly loyal to An Nuan, who had ulterior motives, and who harbored malicious intent.
He could see through it with just a few words.
These documents were assessment reports written by Chen Wenjing.
Hai Changfeng went to Tian Nan's team and found those with special abilities.
After Hai Changfeng discussed research with them, they spontaneously formed a team.
The team was divided into frontline support and logistical rescue.
Logistical rescue primarily consisted of former nurses and ordinary people, who would transport and assist the wounded.
Even with Hai Changfeng present, these roles seemed insignificant.
But he was only one person, unable to care for so many people, nor could he do everything himself.
Wu Hao, with his strong earth-elemental protective abilities, was taken away by Tian Nan and Chang Kai early in the morning.
They first went to the main entrance to survey the surroundings and then design the gate.
Ming Le and Xiu Ao led people in training, while the remaining people were busy with moving and other tasks; no one was idle.
When An Nuan walked to the main gate,
she noticed that the gate, which had been barricaded with bus tin plates yesterday, had transformed today.
Not only was it built magnificently, but the combination of steel and vines, mixed with marble design, was extremely avant-garde and artistic.
Walking further east, she saw that the wall of an empty villa had been built, the contents of the house cleared out, and rearranged to become a school.
There weren't many children in the community, only five, so one teacher was sufficient.
If absolutely necessary, there were many intellectuals who could teach a group of children.
An Nuan felt a bit dazed.
She had only slept for one night, and the world had changed?
They had all become so diligent and united, with clear divisions of labor. What was happening to them?
"Xiaonuan, you're awake?"
Fu Yunting rolled up his sleeves and pant legs, wearing flip-flops with mud on them.
Fu Yunting was actually a clean freak, and his dirty feet made him uncomfortable.
He took a bottle of mineral water to rinse his feet, stunning everyone with envy.
Wealthy, people washing their feet with mineral water in the apocalypse were truly rich!
