After putting the phone back in his pocket,
Ethan turned around and walked toward the construction site.
On the way back, Ethan observed the tall wall made from containers attached to the outermost wall of Walter's residence; these containers are filled with cement and arranged beside the walls in a mile area.
The wall is made from three layers of containers lying above each other with a height of seven and a half meters, almost equal to a double-story house.
"Although this wall can prevent ground creatures, it can't stop the birds and other underground creatures."
Ethan muttered thoughtfully, and then, thinking of Drones, he asked the Star,
"Star, have you ordered the drones? If you haven't, then order them now; they are mandatory for remote exploration."
"Master, don't worry, I have already ordered multiple types of drones, and they are already stored inside the shelter," Star replied and then fell silent.
Ethan nodded and walked forward, starting to supervise the transfer of items and materials.
…
Five more days passed.
The deadline of the project passed; at the same time, the company handed him over the keys to the shelter and evacuated from the villa area.
Ethan is standing in the empty ground, looking at the construction machinery parked far away, and then he glances at the villa and its surroundings, which are restored the same as before; no one can guess there is a shelter below this villa.
"Well, construction technology in this world really surpassed the earth, machinery that can even grind stones into cement during the digging process, the efficiency of filling and structuring, everything is impeccable."
Ethan muttered, and then he glanced at the container wall far away, surrounding the whole one-mile villa area.
"Star, how secure are this place and the shelter?" Ethan asked while grabbing the phone out from his pocket, and then his expression became thoughtful looking at the phone.
'I have to make this phone design smarter by synthesizing it with a smartwatch and glasses; taking it out from the pocket is a hassle.'
Ethan thought to himself, and then he saw a star flicker on the screen.
"Master Ethan, this shelter and land are perfect for survival; it would even survive a nuclear strike after some interior upgradation. You can do that later, and all those items and materials you ordered are transferred to the second-to-last storage floor."
Ethan nodded and then walked forward toward the villa garage; a round section on the ground receded, revealing a cylindrical metal lift rising up from underground, and then the metal door slid, rotating, and it opened in front of him.
Ethan walked inside, and the door slid back; the elevator then descended toward the underground, the round section above retracted and fixed back in its place, restoring the garage floor the same as before.
"How about the ventilation system inside this shelter?" Ethan asked thoughtfully, observing the first and second floors rising up in front of him.
The first floor is just an open area with pillars; cars and other vehicles are parked here.
The second floor is the residence area with rooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms.
The third floor is the activity and research floor with all kinds of medical equipment transferred from the villa here.
The fourth floor is the third-to-last floor with artificial fields and an advanced environment mimicry system; he can grow staple food and vegetables in the middle and trees at the edges.
The fifth floor is the second-to-last floor with storage cabins; some cabins have normal temperature while others are sealed with compressors inside to freeze the stored items.
Finally, the last sixth floor has the electric generator, a water pump that pumps underground fresh water, other ventilation machines, and a sewage system.
Ethan visited all floors one by one and then spoke to the Star while looking at the machines and electric generators in the basement floor.
"Star, I have to do something about waste. I need a machine that can transform the waste into biodegradables."
Star flickered on his mobile phone screen and replied, "Master Ethan, do you want me to create a comprehensive plan to transform all the internal faculties of the shelter?"
Ethan nodded and replied, "Do it," then he walked back inside the elevator and ascended toward the upper floors.
After leaving the elevator on the second residence floor,
Ethan appeared in the lounge and started looking at the CCTV footage on the large 100-inch screen.
The cameras are installed in all directions of the villa, including on the outer wall and inside the villa; there is no dead angle in the cameras; even if there is a dead end, all these cameras are rotatable.
After seeing there is no problem outside, he then searched the news, looking at the news about the chaos in some cities around the world.
Ethan sighed, looking at the videos of crazy people looting the stores and malls, also some fighting and killing each other; the law and order collapsed before the reaching of the disaster.
Ethan then closed the news; he isn't interested in seeing the bloodshed before the true arrival of the end.
"Start at how much time it will take the virus to reach this city,"
"Master Ethan, there are some changes in the analysis; it's uncertain now; it may take a day or an hour, depending on the situation."
Star replied, showing the videos of green birds and beasts biting people in nearby cities. Also, the whole earth map on the phone is marked with a lot of green circles; the nearby green circle is just a few miles away from his location.
Ethan nodded and said, "It will reach here sooner than you predicted." Then he shook his head and dismissed the search and muttered,
"Anyway, it won't affect me,"
After speaking, he closes the screen and turns around and descends toward the second-to-last floor, the storage floor, and asks,
"Star, tell me the location of the drones you ordered,"
"Master, it's in the third storage cabin, which is located in the second row; it contains all kinds of smart electronic products you ordered."
Star replied and then showed the container on the map.
Ethan nodded and walked forward, appearing in front of the storage cabin and opening it.
After searching inside, he collected all the boxes of drones and smartwatches and then returned to the second residence floor.
