Chapter 402
Because of the major earthquake, City A was affected by a very wide area this time, and the entire base and nearby security camps suffered huge losses.

Even though the higher-ups got the news in advance, most of the people were transferred in time, and no major casualties were caused, but almost half of the infrastructure of the entire base was destroyed.

After Shen Yue took over the matters related to disaster relief, even with the help of supernatural beings, he only built a few resettlement sites in a short period of time to accommodate a large number of surviving victims. Professionals are needed to re-survey and design.

Therefore, the vast majority of victims in the hardest-hit areas are concentrated in an area in the south of the city.

The population here is very densely populated, and dragons and snakes are mixed together. There are often many foreigners who come here to eat relief food, and Shen Yue has been busy with disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction work these days. The sorting work is undoubtedly a bit behind.

Of course, this does not rule out that some people did it on purpose.

Miller lives in the northeast corner of the area.

Probably because they were very satisfied with his plate of bacon, the way Gu Xi and Shen Yue expressed their appreciation for the old chef was to give away a lot of ingredients that are considered very precious now.

There were so many that he couldn't carry them by himself. Fortunately, Shen Yue was very considerate and specially sent a staff member to help him carry them back.

After returning to his suggestion stone house, Miller sent away the staff who helped him bring back the ingredients with a smile, and turned around to look at the ingredients piled up in the whole room, laughing so hard that he could hardly see his eyes.

It fully expresses a chef's love for cherished ingredients.

As night fell, Miller made himself a simple dinner, squatted at the door of the house, chatted with the neighbors left and right, and only returned to his house when everyone went back to the house to rest in the dead of night.

In the dark stone room, on the simple stone table full of ingredients, there is now an exquisite tea set. A man is sitting at the table with his back to the door, slowly cooking tea under the moonlight.

The whole room is filled with a special tea fragrance.

But the strange thing is that the refreshing tea fragrance did not overflow the room.

"You're here." Miller sat across from the man, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, narrowed his eyes comfortably, and sighed softly, "Good tea."

The man opposite looked up, and under the deserted moonlight, he showed an ordinary face.

But the temperament is very special, and it doesn't match his face - at first glance, it looks like the kind made of wealth and power.

"Have you seen someone?" The plain-looking man sat by the window, shaking the blue-and-white porcelain teacup in his hand, and the fresh tea leaves rolled in boiling water and grew, which set off the plain-looking teapot under the moonlight. His face was shrouded in mist and looked even more mysterious.

"See you." It was rare to drink such good tea, and Miller poured himself another cup without any politeness.You know, this top-notch Dahongpao, even before the end of the world, is not something that ordinary people can drink.

It's a rare opportunity to drink more.

Good tea needs to be tasted slowly. In the eyes of some people, a boozy drink like Miller's is no different from chewing peonies.

The man opposite frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

"What do you think?" He picked up the teacup in front of him and lowered his head to take a sip.

It's not that Miller can't see the aloofness in the man's eyes, as well as some kind of hidden deep dislike.

But so what?
Everyone is a cooperative relationship.

Besides... the other party disliked him chewing peony, and he still felt that this person was too pretentious.

——What time is it, and this is what matters.

But Miller didn't show anything, and just pretended he couldn't see it, and poured himself another cup of tea—oh, there really isn't much left in the purple clay teapot now.

"I didn't say anything." Miller said while drinking tea, "While cooking, that Wei Heng stared at me the whole time, and the sisters of the Qin family also followed her all the time. It seems that Shen Yue meant it."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and added, "There is also that little girl from the Qi family."

He raised his head and looked at the man opposite, "Didn't you say that girl is a bit evil? I thought about it, but I didn't dare to make unnecessary movements..."

The man nodded: "Actually, there is no rush. The most important thing right now is to find a way to stay by her side."

Their Gu family's attitude towards that little cousin was not uniform. This time he came here in person, and he also wanted to personally confirm whether his little cousin could be used by their Gu family.

But he couldn't leave the old house for too long.

Since the old man's health has deteriorated, the relationship between the uncles and brothers in the family has become delicate.

Recently, the third and fifth children have been watching him very closely, and even bribed an assistant next to him, and he found out in time, so there was no big mistake.

This time, he was able to come to City A only because of the power seed.

But he can't stay too long.

An old man's physical condition is not optimistic. As the eldest grandson of the eldest house, he should not be away for too long, lest others take advantage of it.

Second, they have an agreement with that person, and that person will not allow their direct descendants of the Gu family to stay in City A for too long.

Otherwise, they would not have settled for the next best thing and supported that idiot of the Liu family to govern the base in City A all these years.

Miller is also well aware of the internal strife in the Gu family.

After all, the old man was getting old, and he was gradually unable to hold back those children and grandchildren.

But knowing it was one thing, he didn't think about intervening.

In the final analysis, he is just one of the "capable people and strangers" supported by the Gu family over the years to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

It's just that the end of the world is not easy, it's just a meal, there's no need to risk your own life.

"How's Gu's health recently?" Miller asked hypocritically, thinking of the benefits he had gained from Gu's family over the years.

The man squinted his eyes and said calmly, "The old man's body should last for a while." But this time will not last too long.

That's why he desperately hopes to win Gu Xi over.

As long as he draws people back home, the old man will definitely look at him high - after all, the old man's body is already dilapidated, even the high-level healing departments that the family has spent a lot of money on all year round have been broken several times. Concealed that there is no way.

But someone said that the old man's only hope now lies in Gu Xi.

And the old man has been greedy for power all his life, even if he is the eldest grandson of the eldest family, even if the other party's health problems have already appeared, the old man has not handed over all the resources of the Gu family to him, the eldest grandson of the eldest family, so that now the old man is about to die. On the bed, the uncles and brothers in each room are all staring at him.

To be honest, the current situation of his eldest grandson is really not optimistic.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have set his mind on that little cousin.
