If that doesn't work, he can go swimming. This huge swimming pool, covering 500 square meters, is practically his private property. Access to the 31st and 32nd floors, which are the sports and recreation center and the entertainment center, is reserved for only a very few people.

For example, the people who served him, such as Sun Yuan, Liu Yue, and Wang Qian, a senior executive in the company. There were also some service personnel on the 31st and 32nd floors.

However, apart from him, they were mostly women. Li Mu was too lazy to bother with it, or rather, it was a measure to prevent accidents in the apocalyptic world.

After all, it's always good to be cautious in the apocalypse. He also didn't want too many people, especially strangers, in the places he frequented.

Sometimes, maintaining a proper distance is a good thing. It prevents some people from becoming envious of such a luxurious lifestyle. If they can't see it, they don't have to worry about it.

This floor is also equipped with professional spa and massage staff. When you're tired from exercising, you can enjoy a sauna and the aromatherapy, massage, and acupressure services provided by the ladies.

He wasn't afraid of being called extravagant, after all, he had paid for the entire building, stockpiled all the supplies and food, and hired all the staff. He'd gone to such lengths to prepare; what was wrong with indulging a little?

After staying at home for a few days, although the outside temperature has never exceeded 50 degrees Celsius, it has been hovering around 48 or 49 degrees Celsius. The water spray cooling measures outside the building have been turned on.

From the top floor to the bottom floor, every five floors, there is a ring of water sprayers around the building to cool it down. The amount of water sprayed is small, like a light rain, but this water is groundwater pumped from underground. It is cool and refreshing, and under the sunlight, it even forms a rainbow.

Thanks to this, the solar panels on the top floor and the building's exterior walls have maintained a reasonable temperature despite being exposed to high temperatures.

These past few days, due to the high temperatures outside, he has moved all his morning exercises to the 31st floor.

After exercising for two hours and swimming for a while, I went to his private massage room and enjoyed a massage with essential oils from a young lady. After taking a nap, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

At this moment, Sun Yuan walked in.

"Sir, lunch is ready."

Li Mu nodded, changed into a new set of clothes, and went upstairs to the restaurant for a meal.

Because the 33-story super mansion was too large, with a floor area of ​​3,000 square meters, Sun Yuan and Liu Yue were simply too busy to handle it all. During the recruitment process two months ago, after a rigorous screening, they hired seven or eight more people than necessary.

These seven or eight people each have their own strengths and abilities. Some are good at cooking, some are good at housework, and some are good at taking care of people. They are all similar in one aspect: they are all women and they are all quite good-looking.

After all, living on the 33rd floor with Li Mu and receiving his personal service, safety was paramount. In the apocalypse, women posed far less of a threat than men.

Li Mu would never admit to having any wicked intentions; his main concern was safety, and the ability to spend the next few years in peace.

Now, these seven or eight people are managed and trained by Sun Yuan and Liu Yue, so Li Mu only needs to enjoy life.

Just then, Wang Qian opened the door, and Li Mu called her over to have a meal together.

As the vice president and Li Mu's most important deputy, Wang Qian's residence was arranged on the 33rd floor, in a large suite of more than 200 square meters, to ensure timely communication.

While having their meal, the two chatted about the allocation of the security team.

Li Mu said, "We can leave eight squads here. Let's leave the other twenty-eight squads at the unfinished building. After all, that's where the most supplies are stored, and security is very important."

Wang Qian said, "But isn't it too much that's been allocated over there? The Muwu Building is also very important."

Li Mu said, "This place is certainly important, but eight squads and eighty security personnel in this one building are enough."

"Over there, there are eight buildings in total, and the security measures are not as good as here. The security issue is more important."

"Besides, there's a food processing plant over there. Sometimes it's a waste to have so many security personnel. It wouldn't hurt to let them work as workers when necessary."

Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After finishing his meal, Li Mu went to the large floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the busy flow of people outside.

He wasn't actually worried about the building's security, and the number of security personnel didn't matter; they were just there for show.

Unless a large army is deployed, he can easily deal with ordinary people, or even a few hundred or a thousand people with ill intentions.

There's no other reason than that a few months ago, during his trip abroad, he smuggled a large number of firearms from the black market, filling ten cubic meters of system space.

Putting everything else aside, if you take the Barrett from the space and set it up on the rooftop, you can deal with anyone who tries to cause trouble. What's there to be afraid of?

However, the country's security and order are still good, unlike many other countries that are in chaos. Bringing out firearms would be too conspicuous and would only cause trouble for ourselves.

He doesn't want to use this unless absolutely necessary; playing with cold weapons is quite nice too.

Chapter 473 Power Outage and Classmates

Time flies, and March has passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of last month, the highest temperature soared to 51 degrees Celsius, breaking the 50-degree mark and causing widespread panic.

However, the temperature quickly dropped and is currently hovering around 47 or 48 degrees Celsius, occasionally breaking 50 degrees Celsius, without showing any significant upward trend.

Thanks to this, despite the high temperatures, major projects continued to operate normally, and various materials and machinery transported from the coast to the western region continued to arrive in an endless stream.

In Yun City, although many people have followed the trend and moved to the western region, the situation is relatively stable.

That day, Li Mu was watching a 3D movie in a private cinema when the screen suddenly flickered and returned to normal two seconds later.

Li Mu was somewhat surprised. This audio-visual system, which was extremely advanced even by world standards, cost tens of millions of yuan. Could it be malfunctioning? After thinking about it, he figured it must be an external problem, either with the wiring or the power.

Sun Yuan, who was standing nearby, said, "Sir, shall I go ask?"

Li Mu nodded: "Okay, go ahead!"

Sun Yuan tiptoed out of the private cinema and quickly came back in.

He whispered, "Sir, there was a power outage!"

Li Mu was somewhat surprised: "The power's out?"

Sun Yuan said, "Yes, there was a power outage. But it doesn't affect us; the building has already switched to reserve power."

Li Mu nodded, and said with a touch of emotion, "It's so hot today, and it's still daytime. The scorching sun is beating down, and with such high temperatures, it's going to be a nightmare without electricity to cool things down!"

Sun Yuan said, "Yes! This kind of weather is so hot it's unbearable. How can we live without electricity?"

Li Mu asked, "Do you know the reason?"

Sun Yuan said, "It seems to be a problem with the wiring. The sun was too strong and the weather was so hot. The rubber insulation on the overhead wires in some old residential areas melted and caused a fire, which is why we had to cut off the power in an emergency."

"However, apart from some of the affected areas, the power should be back on soon. After all, it's too hot, and a power outage for too long would have too much of an impact."

Li Mu nodded. This was indeed a problem, especially in some older residential areas and streets where there were many overhead wires. In such high temperatures, the rubber coverings would easily melt under the sun, potentially causing many unpredictable risks.

However, there was nothing he could do to help with this, so after thinking about it, he continued watching the movie.

Around three or four in the afternoon, his phone suddenly rang. Someone had sent him a WeChat call. Li Mu looked at it and saw that it was Zhao Qing.

After the call was connected, an anxious voice quickly came through.

"Li Mu, is that you?"

Li Mu said, "It's me, Sister Qing. What's wrong?"

Zhao Qing's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"Li Mu, are you still in Yun City?"

Li Mu said, "Again! What's wrong?"

Zhao Qing said, "Really, I'm really afraid you'll move west too."

Li Mu said, "No, I'm perfectly fine in Yun City, why would I move west! What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Zhao Qing cried out, "This is just too unlucky! It's so hot, and the power is out where I live."

Li Mu asked, "They haven't arrived yet?"

Zhao Qing said, "It's too hot. I thought it would be here soon, but when I asked the property management, they said that the wiring in the neighboring community melted and caught fire, which affected our community. It will take at least two or three days to repair."

Li Mu said, "In this hot weather, without electricity, it must be unbearable. Do you need my help?"

Zhao Qing whispered, "Won't this be too much trouble for you? I've already asked several friends for help, but they've either moved west or haven't responded. I really don't know what to do."

Li Mu smiled and said, "No trouble at all, we're classmates! Where are you now? I'll come pick you up."

Zhao Qing gave an address, and then added, "Um... Li Mu, Huihui is here with me too."

Li Mu asked, "Didn't you go back to Italy to study?"

Zhao Qing said, "No, because it was too hot before the Lunar New Year, schools in Italy started their holidays early. It's been even hotter over the past month, and schools there haven't reopened yet. Huihui has been staying with me these past few days, helping me write plans and produce short videos."

Li Mu said, "It's alright, we're all old classmates. Don't worry, I'll be there in a bit."

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu instructed Sun Yuan, "Have someone clean up the small villa we stayed in. My classmate's place is without power, so let them stay there for a while."

Sun Yuan said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After watching Sun Yuan leave, Li Mu found his car keys and went downstairs as well.

Logically, arranging for them to stay in the Muwu Building would be the safest and most secure option, as it wouldn't be affected by power outages or rain. However, it's not advisable to expose the Muwu Building to outsiders too much right now, and since the two old classmates aren't staff members and won't be staying there indefinitely, arranging for them to stay in the villa would be more appropriate.

In terms of luxury, apart from Li Mu's 33-story mansion, the single and double dormitories on the 15th floor can't compare to the villa.

……

After going downstairs, I found the Knight XV that had been gathering dust all along. Although the driving experience wasn't great, it was the only car that could handle the weather and road conditions like this.

Once inside the car, Li Mu activated the air recirculation and temperature control systems, and the temperature quickly dropped. He pressed the accelerator, and the Knight XV roared as it drove out of the Muwu Building.

The streets were almost deserted, with only the occasional modified government vehicle. There was no way around it; the temperature was too high, the sun too scorching. Even if people could withstand the weather, the asphalt roads couldn't.

Many asphalt surfaces had softened, some even almost melting. As Li Mu drove on them, a hissing sound came from the asphalt, the sound of the tires sticking to the surface and being pulled away by the car's powerful thrust.

Fortunately, it was the Knight XV, touted as a civilian-grade armored vehicle, whose performance and design were well-suited to the current road conditions. If it were a regular family sedan, not to mention the risk of a tire blowout in such hot road conditions, the car would have been completely frozen and unable to move.

Following the navigation, despite the poor road conditions and the relatively low traffic, it took more than forty minutes to find the place.

This is a semi-new, semi-old residential area that looks quite nice. It seems that Zhao Qing and Jiang Hui live here.
