Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 119: The Chu Family Worries

When everyone heard that question, they became concerned again. That was a valid question. Could Chu Miao have agreed to Ye Xuan’s confession and became his girlfriend simply because he saved her?

If that was the case, then it was better not to continue such a relationship.

"What do you mean by that? Do I look that clueless to you? How could I agree to be with someone just because I am grateful to them?

Besides, there is not much to be grateful about because even if Ye Xuan hadn’t protected me, I could have protected myself.

I was touched and indeed grateful for his protection because regardless of knowing that I could protect myself from that mutated rat, Ye Xuan still chose to block it for me without a second thought.

That indeed showed the depth of his feelings for me. He could disregard his safety for mine.

While I can’t deny that that was one of the reasons I agreed to be with him when he asked me to be his girlfriend, it is only a small part of the reason.

The main reason is that I like him. He is a nice guy. He makes me feel relaxed around him, safe, and confident.

I also feel happy when he is with me. I don’t know if I am in love with him since I have never been in love before and I don’t know what it feels like, but I do know that I like him." Chu Miao said what she thought and felt frankly to her family.

Since young, she was taught to be free when expressing herself so that her family could understand what she needed. And she applied that in this situation.

She didn’t have to worry that she would be judged for expressing her feelings towards Ye Xuan. She knew she would get support.

"If that’s the case, then we can rest assured that you didn’t make the decision on impulse due to a moment of gratitude.

Love and gratitude are two different things and should not be confused as it could lead to misunderstandings later." Mother Chu said as she heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn’t want her precious daughter to get into a romantic relationship for the wrong reasons.

"That is the case, so you guys don’t have to worry about my relationship sinking before it takes off because I got into it for the wrong reasons." Chu Miao reassured her family.

She felt a warmth spread in her heart because of the care she received from everyone.

This was what family was. Even at the end of the world, they care for each other unconditionally. She was grateful that in both lifetimes, these people were the members of her family, and they loved her without reservations.

"Okay, let’s wait for Ye Xuan to come by tomorrow and talk about anything else if there is one to talk about.

Now, how was your harvest today? Your second grandpa and I got quite a lot of fabricated houses.

We got fifty three-story villas, seventy two-story villas, five office buildings, and over hundred cottages.

I must say that even if we were to build our own base, these houses can already create an entire community." Grandpa Chu started to explain the harvest of their scavenging for the day.

"That’s awesome grandpa. How many floors would the office buildings have once assembled?" Chu Miao asked as a plan had already started to hatch in her mind.

With all those houses and the construction materials they collected that day, she could be sure that they wouldn’t run out of resources to construct their stronghold in the future.

"I think they are of different sizes, but the smallest one should be five floors and the tallest is probably thirty floors." Grandpa Chu said after thinking for a while.

He was not very knowledgeable when it came to construction, but he knew a thing or two, so he could make such a judgement.

"That’s good. We can do a lot with those houses. Now that you mentioned building a base, I think in the future, it’s better not to leave behind anything that can be used.

Even furniture should not be spared.

A base will have a lot of people, and those houses would need to be furnished. Therefore, we need to also start collecting furniture if we come across any." Father Chu suggested after hearing what his father said.

"Daddy has a point. But I believe even before making this decision, we still collected some furniture while on missions killing zombies.

Chu Hao and I collected about a hundred long dining tables and hundreds of chairs in A University last time we were in their cafeteria.

I think grandpa and second grandpa also collected the metal beds in the dormitories we visited.

Those would definitely become handy. However, we should also follow daddy’s suggestion and collect all the furniture we can find for future use.

We will need a lot of resources to run a base without exploiting the people who seek refuge with us." Chu Miao said as she agreed with her father.

"But providing refuge doesn’t mean we have to do everything and let idlers suck our blood dry." Chu Hao said when he heard his sister’s words.

"Of course, that’s not what I meant. Those who come to us for help will have to contribute something as well. We won’t be running a charity.

After all, this is the apocalypse, not peaceful times." Chu Miao also reiterated her point.

"Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We have not even decided about the base yet. A lot of things need to be considered before then, but it’s also good to prepare early." Grandpa Chu interrupted them so they could move on with the previous topic.

"What about you Chu Mo, how did your day go?" Grandpa Chu turned to ask his son so as to move the topic back on track.

Once that question was asked, everyone turned to Father Chu and waited to hear if the cement and other materials he and mother Chu collected could help in large-scale construction.
