Chapter 8: Getting Firearms

Chen Rou\'er was stunned for a moment, and with a fake smile that didn\'t reach her eyes, she said, "Ye Xingchen, you really know how to joke."

Having achieved his goal, Ye Xingchen casually responded, "Believe it or not, it\'s up to you."

Chu Yao also thought that Ye Xingchen was joking. She saw this as an opportunity to liven up the atmosphere and jokingly said, "Could it be that a comet will strike the Earth and cause a massive extinction event, or perhaps the greenhouse effect suddenly intensifies, causing a two-degree rise in global temperatures, melting the ice caps and flooding the Earth?"

Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly and said, "None of those. A month from now, the sun\'s activity will suddenly weaken, and sunlight will become extremely faint. Global temperatures will plummet, and we\'ll enter an ice age."

Seeing Ye Xingchen\'s serious expression, Chu Yao and Chen Rou\'er exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of disdain.

World-ending apocalypse?

It was simply a joke!

They even began to doubt if Ye Xingchen had lost his mind to be able to spout such nonsense.

Humanity\'s research and monitoring of the sun had never ceased. If there were any abnormalities in solar activity, wouldn\'t the scientists be aware of it?

Moreover, who could possibly know what would happen a month from now?

Could someone really predict the future?

Ye Xingchen could clearly see the expressions on their faces, and a trace of undisguised mockery appeared at the corners of his mouth.

When the doomsday arrived, they would know who the real fool was. They would experience the regret of not being able to turn back time and the feeling of despair.

And he, Ye Xingchen, would become the only one who could save them.

By that time, they would be like dogs, begging for mercy before him.

At that moment, several cars arrived, bearing the logo of the "Long Shield Security Company" on their doors, catching the attention of the two women and arousing their curiosity.

Ye Xingchen nodded in satisfaction.

With the money in place, efficiency was guaranteed.

The security manager got out of the car, walking over with a warm smile. When he saw Chen Rou\'er and Chu Yao, his gaze lingered for a moment, a fleeting trace of amazement in his eyes.

"Mr. Ye Xingchen, hello!"

The security manager warmly shook Ye Xingchen\'s hand and said with a smile, "I\'ve brought the survey personnel. After a scientific assessment of the main structure of the villa and the geological structure of the entire yard, we can start the work tomorrow!"

Ye Xingchen calmly responded, "Alright, let\'s begin."

The security manager glanced at the survey personnel behind him and urged, "What are you waiting for? Start working!"

At this moment, Chen Rou\'er curiously asked, "Ye Xingchen, what are you planning to do?"

Ye Xingchen\'s large villa occupied a vast area, and the elegantly designed garden courtyard made it hard for her to see any areas needing renovation.

Even Chu Yao wore a puzzled expression.

Ye Xingchen didn\'t pay them any attention, but the security manager looked at Chen Rou\'er and Chu Yao, smiling as he said, "Don\'t you know? Mr. Qin is planning to build an apocalypse shelter that can withstand nuclear explosions!"

"What!?"

Both Chen Rou\'er and Chu Yao widened their eyes in astonishment, looking at Ye Xingchen with expressions of disbelief.

At this moment, they believed that Ye Xingchen must have lost his mind.

Who would be crazy enough to build an apocalypse shelter?

Chen Rou\'er asked with doubt, "Ye Xingchen, is this for real?"

Ye Xingchen didn\'t hide anything and nodded, "That\'s right."

He intended to let Chen Rou\'er know that he possessed a vast amount of resources and the safest apocalypse shelter. When the doomsday arrived, everything would proceed according to his plan.

Hearing his answer, Chu Yao pulled Chen Rou\'er aside and whispered, "In my opinion, Ye Xingchen must have suffered some significant shock. You should give him some time to calm down before attempting to repair your relationship."

With a helpless nod, Chen Rou\'er walked up to Ye Xingchen and said, "Ye Xingchen, we\'ll leave for now. I\'ve given you a chance, so I hope you\'ll treasure it."

Ye Xingchen\'s lips curled into a disdainful smile. "No need."

Frustration colored Chen Rou\'er\'s face, but she could only leave with Chu Yao.

After they left, Ye Xingchen approached the security manager and said in a low voice, "I need some firearms. Help me acquire them."

The security manager hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Firearms are illegal, how could we possibly get them?"

Undeterred, Ye Xingchen added, "Price isn\'t an issue. Don\'t worry, I\'ll keep it confidential."

In the face of the apocalyptic world, where humanity\'s morals had crumbled, and killing and looting were rampant, having resources alone wouldn\'t be enough. They also needed the means to protect those resources.

Conventional weapons were relatively easy to obtain, but what could compare to firearms?

Ye Xingchen had seen in his previous life how a thug armed with firearms could dominate a region, seizing resources effortlessly.

For safety\'s sake, he wanted to acquire firearms too.

And a security company like this one undoubtedly had the means.

As long as he was willing to pay the price, he believed he could get what he wanted.

True to his expectations, the security manager\'s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He looked at Ye Xingchen for a moment before shaking his head.

"Sorry, the risk is too great."

Seeing that he didn\'t outright say it was impossible, Ye Xingchen knew there was hope. He reassured in a low voice, "Don\'t worry, I\'m flexible with the price. Trust me, I\'ll keep everything confidential. After all, I\'m just curious about firearms; I won\'t engage in any illegal activities. Besides, I\'m still young!"

With this response, the security manager looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, and then whispered, "I\'ll check with my contacts. If there\'s any news, I\'ll let you know."

"Good, I\'ll wait for your good news." Ye Xingchen nodded and then thought of something else. "Also, get me some powerful crossbows and the like."

The security manager gave him a skeptical look and asked, "What exactly are you planning?"

With a calm expression, Ye Xingchen answered, "Just playing around. I\'m quite the enthusiast when it comes to weapons."

The security manager silently observed Ye Xingchen for a few seconds before nodding. "Alright."

In the elite circles of the wealthy, it wasn\'t unheard of for them to engage in such activities. They usually went to highly private hunting grounds for this kind of entertainment. So, the security manager wasn\'t all that surprised.

Before long, the security manager left with the survey personnel to arrange the work.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen took out the documentation of his other valuable properties and shops in Jinghai City, as well as the relevant information about the entire chain of supermarkets. Then, he drove to the bank.

As doomsday approaches, these shops and properties will become devoid of any value, and businesses will be unable to create any value whatsoever.

Therefore, he wants to mortgage all of these assets now, take out loans from the bank, and continue wildly purchasing other resources.

Due to the time within his dimensional space being still, no matter how many resources he stores, they will not expire and will play an unimaginable role in the future.

Imagine, after a year or more, most of the resources in the world are depleted, and some have expired and become inedible.

Yet, he possesses inexhaustible resources. In that case, what kind of transcendent status will he attain?
