Chen Ran opened the car door for the Thunder Lord.

The Thunder Lord hesitated, but still jumped into the car.

Chen Ran looked at him with satisfaction. After closing the door, he said to Wang Ming, "Send me your card number, I'll transfer the money."

Chen Ran wouldn't welch on this payment.

Wang Ming was overjoyed and quickly sent the card number. This million was truly a great deal. He wasn't some incredible 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."

Seeing the money arrive, Wang Ming excitedly said, "Young Master Chen, if you need anything in the future, just give me a call. I'll definitely take care of it beautifully for you."

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, then drove off with the Thunder Lord.

Stopping at a red light, Chen Ran looked at the Thunder Lord and laughed, "From now on, I'll just call you Favang (Law King)."

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

Chen Ran didn't mind. After the apocalypse and the awakening of his powers, the Thunder Lord's intelligence would develop again, no less than that of a human. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to ambush it multiple times to succeed.

Seeing that the Thunder Lord's body was dirty, Chen Ran specially went to a pet store to buy some dog bath products.

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

Was the Thunder Lord an ordinary dog?

He had to treat it well. What I eat, it eats. If I have a bite to eat, I definitely won't let it go hungry.

If I have nothing to eat, I don't think the Thunder Lord will let me go hungry either.

Chen Ran went straight home. During this time, he had to cultivate his relationship with the Thunder Lord.

Because he had traveled too far in search of the Thunder Lord, it took Chen Ran more than an hour to reach his front door.

This was a villa district, which could be considered a true luxury residence in Shanghai.

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

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

Chen Ran's villa was now worth 350 million yuan.

On the day of his rebirth, Chen Ran mortgaged it and borrowed 300 million from some loan sharks, with an interest of 330 million to be repaid in a month.

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

Go ahead and try to get it from me.

Passing the security booth, Chen Ran's nose felt sore when he saw the tall security guard standing at the gate. Although he had seen him several times since his rebirth, he still felt emotional.

This security guard had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very honest face, but he was a little too honest, making him look a little silly.

His name was Su Dazhu, and he was Chen Ran's good brother after the apocalypse. His ability was a physical-type power.

Golden Light Invulnerability, he was practically invulnerable, very sturdy.

But because of supplies, Chen Ran and Su Dazhu were ambushed. At that time, Chen Ran had not yet mastered Void Walk, and it was Su Dazhu who held them off.

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

Chen Ran seemed to still hear Su Dazhu's roar before his death.

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

Chen Ran's eyes turned red involuntarily. Good brother, I will definitely make sure you eat well and live well in this life.

The two were good brothers after the apocalypse. Their current relationship was just acquaintance. Chen Ran wasn't in a hurry. When the apocalypse happened, Su Dazhu was on duty here. When the time comes, history will repeat itself, and they will become brothers again.

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

Was this "fun" he was talking about proper?

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

Chen Ran chuckled, "What else did your mother say?"

Su Dazhu grinned, "My mother also said, 'Unusual courtesy, either a trick or a theft.'"

Chen Ran: "..."

Chen Ran took the Thunder Lord into the house. The not-so-small garden and exquisite villa made the Thunder Lord feel a little timid in this unfamiliar setting.

Chen Ran didn't care whether the Thunder Lord understood or not, and said with a smile, "Favang, this will be your home from now on. Come on, let's take you to take a bath first."

The Thunder Lord was really obedient. Although it was a little afraid of water, it still obediently let Chen Ran fuss over it.

While bathing the Thunder Lord, Chen Ran couldn't help but start thinking about what else he should hoard.

If it was just for himself and his brothers, the food that Chen Ran had hoarded with the small truck would be enough for him to live to the end of his life, he couldn't finish it all in a lifetime.

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

If he was the only human left in the world, and the rest were all monsters, that kind of heart-wrenching loneliness would be unbearable.

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

The dangers of the apocalypse not only came from food, but more often from monsters and other survivors.

Although Chen Ran's talent was powerful, he was not good at direct combat. To put it bluntly, if hundreds of low-level power users attacked together, Chen Ran would only be able to run away.

Why not recruit more younger brothers and use a gang fight to fight against a gang fight?

In the future, Chen Ran knew roughly which powerful power users would show their prowess, so wouldn't it be great to recruit them in advance?

With his power space and precognition, it would be difficult for him not to become the number one force.

Now, Chen Ran was only hoarding some meat. Was that enough?

Of course not. Staples, fruits, vegetables, seeds, etc., Chen Ran had not started hoarding yet.

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

In the early days of the apocalypse, survivors basically relied on bottled, canned, and barrelled purified water to survive, but these water sources were limited and not so easy to obtain.

After the apocalypse, the happiest day for people was probably a rainy day.

When the purified water was gone and there was nothing to drink, the survivors could only turn their attention to water full of viruses, soaked in corpses to varying degrees.

This water wouldn't kill the physically strong survivors, but it would inhibit the development of the power users' abilities.

This was only discovered long after the apocalypse. In the early days, Chen Ran, who didn't have a power space, had no choice but to drink a lot of virus-laden water.

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

Thinking about his next actions, Chen Ran finished bathing the Thunder Lord.

The Thunder Lord, after taking a bath, was much cleaner and looked a little more handsome.

The Thunder Lord looked at Chen Ran pitifully. Chen Ran patted his head and smiled, he hadn't given the Thunder Lord anything to eat yet.

Chen Ran took out a portion of sweet and sour pork ribs directly from the power space and prepared a bowl specifically for the Thunder Lord.

The starving Thunder Lord started eating ravenously without saying a word.

Seeing the Thunder Lord eating so deliciously, Chen Ran, who had eaten a lot at noon, also drooled in his mind.

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

While eating, Chen Ran spat out the bones, and the Thunder Lord actually followed suit.

Chen Ran laughed when he saw it, "Hey, dogs can also 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'm scolding myself.
