According to He Xin's instructions, Du Shen first went to the household registration center in the east of the city to apply for a residence permit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoThe Mitsuhashi base does not force everyone to apply for a residence permit. However, a residence permit is required for the receipt of relief food, the issuance of a pass, the delivery of property and the certificate. Therefore, most refugees will take the initiative to apply for a residence permit and provide personal information.

Originally, He Xin suggested that Du Shen register the militia. Non-militia members are unable to apply for a pass, and every time they enter the city, they must be inspected and a certain percentage of supplies handed in. Although the base distributes relief, the amount is very small, that is, it is barely guaranteed that no one will starve to death. If you want to be fed, you either work for the government and the military, or go out of the city to find supplies yourself.

The city of Mitsubashi is overcrowded, and the government and military are in desperate need of hired labor. However, due to material constraints, the two sides did not dare to hire people lavishly. Most people in the city do not have access to jobs.

And if you want to go out of the city to find supplies, it is naturally cost-effective to rely on the pass to waive the entrance fee to the city. The entrance fee is collected by the tax collector at the subjective judgment, which is basically about 40% of the materials entering the city.

Du Shen couldn't always conjure up materials out of thin air from the crystal dust, and of course he hoped to save the cost of entering the city. However, once a militia is registered, it not only needs to complete the tasks assigned by the base on a regular basis, but also has to be recruited by the military to participate in combat in a crisis situation.

Du Shen didn't want to be restrained and suppressed, so he refused He Xin's persuasion.

After getting the residence permit, Du Shen and the two walked out of the crowded hall. The two walked to the open-air parking lot and saw two figures wandering near Du Shen's pickup.

Seeing this, He Xin cowered and gradually fell behind. Du Shen noticed He Xin's strangeness, and also felt the provocation of the two sturdy men. Du Shen smiled at the two men near the pickup, walked to the side of the car, and got into the driver's seat.

Du Shen started the car. The two strong men behind the car glared at Du Shen viciously and slowly retreated.

Du Shen drove the car to He Xin and smiled at him: "What's the matter? Don't want to come in? Your work hasn't been completed yet, so you won't get paid!"

He Xin remembered that Du Shen deliberately placed the cardboard box in the carriage. He was already hungry. He gritted his teeth and quickly got into the passenger seat. Before the door was closed, he hurriedly urged: "Mr. Du, let's go quickly!"

Du Shen started the car unhurriedly and observed two strong men with bad intentions from the rearview mirror. He smiled calmly: "Do you know them?"

He Xin also looked at the rearview mirror and explained absentmindedly: "I don't know them, but I know them." They are members of the Three Bridges Mutual Aid Society. Originally, this mutual aid association was just an organization for locals to huddle together to keep warm. But now it's long gone. They are very bold and have a deep background. They often rob outsiders of their assets. Especially if you're alone. ”

"Oh. Losing the figure of a strong man in the rearview mirror, Du Shen retracted his gaze and slightly increased the throttle. Du Shen smiled: "Are they quite capable? I'm sure I'm alone!"

He Xin cursed fiercely: "It must be a few bastards from earlier who betrayed the news to the Three Bridges Society." Mr. Du, you broke up with an armored car on the street before, which is too attention-grabbing. ”

"You mean those people who want to be guides," Du Shen smiled thoughtfully, "then what now?"

He Xin turned his head and looked at Du Shen a few times. He felt that Du Shen was obviously fearless. He Xin did not relax because of this, but frowned and said, "Mr. Du, I am new to the school, I suggest that you don't conflict with them first. Your car, the goal is too big. And now that the price of oil is too expensive, instead of using a car, you might as well stock up on food. After all, I heard that the government was considering stopping the distribution of relief. In the future, I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult. ”

He Xin stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Du, in fact, your car is not too valuable." What is valuable is the oil in your tank. I suggest that you sell your car and gas directly. Either change to a better place to live, or change a batch of food. ”

Du Shen nodded: "If I want an independent and spacious yard, do you have the way? ”

He Xin's gaze slowly scanned the carriage. He secretly assessed Du Shen's property: "I am also a local, but I know a few yards. The owner has the intention of betraying. But, Mr. Du, I have to warn you. Nowadays, the city is overcrowded, and without a tough background, a house that is too good in condition will invite disaster. It's light for someone else to forcibly borrow it......"

"Okay," Du Shen slowly parked the car to the side of the road to save fuel, "Since you are a local, at least it is convenient to inquire about the news." You don't care if my forces are enough, and don't care if my supplies are enough to exchange. You will help me find the right house, and I will not treat you badly. ”

He Xin frowned and looked at Du Shen carefully. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay." I accept your business. I know a yard now, and it's in very good condition. It is located on the edge of the city, with high walls and wide courtyards, which is far from the surrounding houses, and there is no need to worry about others peeping at high places. It's just that the yard is a bit of a hassle. ”

Du Shen nodded calmly: "Although it is explained, don't swallow it." ”

He Xin seemed to be out of the way, nodded and said, "It was my uncle's yard, which was forcibly occupied by a gang of hooligans. My uncle was afraid that the yard would change owners inexplicably, so he insisted on living in it. That gang of hooligans, it seems that the background is quite large. My uncle went to the security center twice to file a complaint. The government sent people to investigate, but there was no news after mediation. As long as the price you pay is reasonable, I believe that my uncle is willing to sell the yard. ”

"Directions," Du Shen immediately started the car, "You take me to see the house." ”

He Xin nodded and raised his hand to point, as if he was happy and worried.

Du Shen drove south. He Xin looked at the fuel gauge frequently, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Du, you may be able to sell the car first." Although it is only five or six kilometers, the price of oil is expensive, and it is always good to save a little. ”

"Don't worry," Du Shen smiled, "I have enough things to pay for your uncle's house." ”

"That's not what I meant. He Xinqiang explained with a smile.

As cars arrive at the southern edge of the city, the high-rise buildings along the way become more and more sparse, and eventually only two- or three-story buildings and old-fashioned bungalows remain. At the end of the bungalow, Du Shen saw the compound that He Xin said.

The courtyard is adjacent to the rice fields, and the courtyard wall is indeed very high and relatively thick. There were originally houses around the courtyard, but they have been demolished into ruins. In the ruins, there are many figures, supporting several large tents. The area of the yard is not small, the diameter should be more than 100 meters. But Du Shen was still not satisfied.

Du Shen parked the car at the gate of the compound: "Is there a bigger yard?"

"Bigger," He Xin was stunned for a moment, shook his head, "That's going to be difficult." Mr. Du, Sanqiao City has developed rapidly in recent years, and there is definitely no room for large courtyards in the urban area. I am familiar with the situation on the outskirts of the city. There must be a larger yard than here, but either it is a factory building, which has long been requisitioned by the government. Or, the yard is entrenched by violent gangs. Those people, numbering hundreds, are not like there are only a dozen here. Mr. Du, do you really want to find a bigger yard?"

Du Shen was distracted, as if he was considering. He Xin's head jumped, and he became more and more curious about Du Shen's confidence and background. He secretly rejoiced: "Perhaps, this deal can really be done!"

He Xin couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Du, the villa area in the east has a bigger and more beautiful yard. But it was already occupied by the military. The yards in other places, I can assure you, are certainly not as good as those of my uncle's house. If you are a newcomer, no matter how strong your background is, there is no need to offend people by being confused! Let's see how it goes?"

Du Shen came back to his senses, was noncommittal, and smiled calmly: "The conditions are good, then take me in to have a look." ”
