369: Moved to a new home

Tian Ming's manor is located in a mountain range within the walls, about five or six kilometers from the base center. It is backed by green mountains and faces clear waters, creating a quiet and beautiful environment.

The initial design draft of the manor came from Number Three, showcasing a perfect blend of unique aesthetics and functionality.

The manor covers a vast area, nearly 100 mu. On this land, the main building is a villa and its surrounding complex.

The exterior of the villa adopts a modern minimalist design style, with smooth lines and a unique shape. The walls are a combination of high-grade stone and glass curtain walls, ensuring ample natural light indoors while adding to the building's modern feel.

The interior of the villa is fully equipped and well-laid out. The first floor features a spacious and bright living room, dining room, and kitchen. The living room is furnished with comfortable sofas and a coffee table, and the dining room is connected to the kitchen for convenient dining and food preparation.

The second floor houses the bedrooms and study, with the bedrooms being warm and comfortable. The third floor has an entertainment room and a gym; although Tian Ming doesn't work out, Shen Yuan wanted one, so he let her have it.

In addition to the main building, the manor also features several exquisite ancillary buildings, such as a small library, an art gallery, and a greenhouse. These buildings not only enrich the manor's functionality but also add to its artistic ambiance. All of these were what Shen Yuan wanted, besides these, there's also a swimming pool and a large empty plot of land for planting a lawn.

To ensure the villa was surrounded by greenery, Tian Ming even directly extended a waste heat pipe from the fusion power station and covered the entire area with a giant transparent Graphene dome.

This small world is like spring all year round. Although the stellar ring in the sky blocks solar radiation, Tian Ming's dome directly created a small ecological cycle.

The construction of the entire manor took him only a few days, as everything was already designed. The reason it was only built now was because the lady of the manor kept making revisions and took a long time to finalize the overall plan. Tian Ming's hardware construction speed is extremely fast.

When Shen Yuan carried Xiao Xiao and arrived at the manor, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Husband, is this our future home?"

"You designed it yourself, and you're still asking me?" Tian Ming chuckled and said.

Shen Yuan's face was filled with undisguised excitement and joy. She looked around, her eyes shimmering with happiness. This was the life she had always dreamed of, her ideal home.

Shen Yuan put Xiao Xiao down and bounced around like a little girl. Suddenly, she rushed over and hugged Tian Ming.

"Husband, I'm so happy! This home is so beautiful, it's truly the home of my dreams!" Shen Yuan said excitedly. Xiao Xiao, however, looked unhappy, floated up, and gave Tian Ming an electric shock.

"Why are you shocking Daddy again? Look, this is the home Daddy built for you. How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Shen Yuan said, smiling at her daughter.

Xiao Xiao waved her small hands and said, "Unhappy, shock Daddy!"

Tian Ming was quite speechless. Unhappy and still wants to shock? Ever since Xiao Xiao absorbed the Red Crystal Core, her intelligence has developed rapidly. Before, she could only say one or two words, but now she can smoothly speak one or two short sentences.

From the outside, Xiao Xiao looks no different from a normal four-month-old child, but her intelligence has far surpassed that of a normal two-year-old child.

"Come on, Mommy will take you to visit the little home Daddy built for us." Shen Yuan opened her arms and picked up Xiao Xiao.

She took Xiao Xiao from the living room to the bedroom, from the kitchen to the garden, walking everywhere. Although she was familiar with every place in the model, she still happily took her child to see everything.

Tian Ming, on the other hand, simply collapsed onto the sofa. He turned on the giant projection screen TV, which was broadcasting news from the East Sea City Base from the newly established TV station in the base.

Since the advent of the online community, in addition to the new internet companies, the Comprehensive Management Department also established a broadcast radio station within the base. Furthermore, private radio stations are also under approval. Although it is the Apocalypse, the cultural and entertainment industry within the base is also flourishing.

Human nature dictates that people enjoy pleasure and are willing to spend money to enjoy a better life. After solving the problems of food and drink, the cultural and entertainment industry also rapidly began to sprout and grow.

Shen Yuan walked over from the kitchen, asking as she came, "Husband, since we're moving into a new home, should we invite them over for a meal?"

Tian Ming was stunned and said, "There are so many people in our base. Although our home is very big, it can't fit so many people."

"I didn't say invite everyone. Just invite some close friends for dinner. I'll ask You Suowei to get me some ingredients, and I'll cook for everyone, how about that?" Shen Yuan said proudly.

"Can you do it? Why do you like cooking so much after having a baby?"

"I learn very quickly. If you don't believe me, I'll cook you a fish." Shen Yuan said, a little unconvinced.

"Alright, alright, you cook the fish. I want to see how much my wife's cooking skills have improved." Tian Ming said, laughing heartily.

Shen Yuan smiled, took out her phone, and bought fish and seasonings from the latest online shopping mall.

The current food mall is developed by an Alibaba-like e-commerce platform commissioned by the Comprehensive Management Department. The main suppliers are You Suowei's food company, a new base aquatic product company, and the base's internal material management warehouse.

As the base has developed, some wealthy people can live a life similar to before the Apocalypse, but most people still don't earn much money, because the base has limited job positions, and even most delivery jobs are handled by robots.

A moment later, a cargo drone took off directly from the distribution center and landed directly in the courtyard of Tian Ming's villa through the skylight of the dome.

The fish delivered was a carp, very small. The aquaculture had only been going on for four or five months since it started, and the largest fish in the first batch was just over a pound.

Shen Yuan took the fish and went to the kitchen to start preparing it. Tian Ming, meanwhile, was in the living room, playing with Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao can now crawl by herself, holding a soft toy and crawling back and forth on the floor. Number Two, as a nanny, now rarely flies with Xiao Xiao, because the child is growing and needs to exercise on her own.

This home is starting to feel like a home, filled with warmth and sweetness. Tian Ming greatly enjoys his current state, feeling that it would be nice if such days could continue indefinitely.

"Master, Meng Xian requests to speak with you." Number Three's voice suddenly sounded in his mind. Tian Ming leaned back on the sofa and accepted Meng Xian's call request.

"Boss!"

"Hmm, have the remaining Transformed been found?" Before Meng Xian could report, Tian Ming spoke first, asking.

Meng Xian's face showed a bitter smile as he said, "Yes, the Ability Research Institute has identified the mutation points between the Transformed and humans. Now, simply through sequencing, we can distinguish the Transformed. Among the high-ranking officials of our Comprehensive Management Department and mid-level military personnel, a total of fifteen Transformed have been identified."

"How do you plan to deal with these Transformed?"

Meng Xian was startled and said, "I came to you because I wanted to ask for your opinion, Boss!"
