"I'll go, you open a black shop, why is it so expensive?" Before Qin Qin and Zhou Beichen could speak, the little fat man Lu Letian couldn't help but call out. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info he was in charge of the team to get supplies, although it was all voluntary and no one forced him, but even if he was tired and sweaty along the way, he was not willing to drop a bottle of water. There may be a slight hint of the idea of using a snakeskin bag as a shield, but it's mostly just a joke. Lu Letian's cherishing of food and drinking water is just the nature of a fat man, but everything that can be eaten must be put away, and it is shameful to waste it.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Letian, ignored him, and only spoke to Zhou Beichen: "One price, love to rent or not." As I said earlier, why are you people so wasteful, isn't it good to rent two single rooms? ”

Although Lu Letian was very dissatisfied with the other party's behavior of ignoring him, he still said helpfully: "Yes, Brother Zhou, even if we rent an apartment, won't the three of us still sleep in one room?" Now there are few people, and it is estimated that there are not many people who are willing to rent a large living room and dining room, maybe we can spend the money of two single rooms and enjoy an apartment alone? ”

I have to say that Lu Letian's brain is quite flexible, and he is a thief with a small abacus. The middle-aged man listened to his words, and he didn't refute it, but just snorted, barely a tacit acquiescence.

Zhou Beichen didn't think so, now there are few people in the base just because this is the first day after the end of the world, and few people have the conditions to listen to the radio to know this address. And even if you know, there are probably not many people who are willing to venture out when there is food and drink. Even those who are willing to come are mostly limited by the conditions, and it is difficult to get to the base today. Take themselves as an example, their university is only four kilometers away from the southern suburbs base, but if they hadn't asked to drive and travel on two legs, it would have been difficult for the group to reach it today. Before it got dark, they had to find a place to hide for the night.

Judging from the number, the head of the Chen regiment who established the base and the brothers he brought should not be counted, otherwise if the original population of the community is added, Qin Qin would not have ranked to the unlucky number of 250. If all the people brought by their own team and Zhang Hao's team are counted, they can already rank No. 271. Originally, there were dozens of residents in the community, and if it was calculated as 100 people, it meant that 200 people came a day today. In the future, there will only be more and more people coming every day, not to mention far away, just tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the population of the base can exceed 1,000 at any time.

Lu Letian's idea was right, but he couldn't guess how many people would come here in the future. Zhou Beichen still remembered that in the previous life, the population of this base was 20,000 at its peak. Excluding the five high-rise buildings that are only available to the anomalies and enhancers, and the one high-rise where the base guards and their families live, each of the six high-rise buildings for rent is occupied by at least 20 people. Even after the introduction of the official rental rules of the base, there is a cap on the average living area of the average person. If you don't take advantage of the lack of people to rent an apartment now, you will either wait for the day after tomorrow to crowd with many people, or you can only wait for the base to introduce preferential conditions for the supernatural before you can get an apartment. Anyway, the paid apartment only needs to live for a week, and he can awaken the ability before next week, Zhou Beichen really doesn't want to wronged Qin Qin for this little material.

In addition to the water needed for eating and drinking must be sealed, the usual washing water can only be taken from the wells and the Bishui River next to it. The floor is low, and those unlucky people who live on the 28th floor can't wait to wash their faces, showers, and clothes, let alone waste water to flush the toilet, after all, no one wants to carry a bucket of water every day to climb such a high staircase back to the room, and exercise doesn't have to be so desperate.

Moreover, in order to prevent sewage backfilling, head Chen will organize people to connect the sewage pipe directly to the Bishui River in the past few days. Although it is downstream, it always makes people feel awkward, and since then, many people would rather queue up to get well water than use river water anymore. Moreover, compared to river water, well water comes from deep underground, so there is little pollution. If you find the right fuel to boil and drink, the chance of getting infected will drop to a very low level. Many people who can't find bottled water have to take the risk and collect coal, gasoline, wood, furniture, books and all other combustibles to light a fire to boil water, after all, they can't let themselves die of thirst.

Seeing that Zhou Beichen hadn't spoken for a long time, the middle-aged man cleared his throat and asked, "Have you thought about it?" Two rooms or one apartment? ”

Zhou Beichen came back to his senses and replied, "I still want an apartment." ”

"Brother Zhou!" Lu Letian was anxious, he was really reluctant to hand over the materials he had brought with great difficulty to the base. I'll be able to go out and look for it again tomorrow, but if I can't find it. With so many things, saving enough to eat six people for two days, he felt that his heart was about to drip blood.

"Lotte, I'll explain it to you later." Zhou Beichen patted Lu Letian on the shoulder soothingly, then turned to the middle-aged man and said, "It's settled, a small apartment, we will use 18 bottles of water as rent." ”

"Yes, the little brother is very angry. As for me, I would like to add that the price is just rent. If you don't want to live on the 28th floor, you have to say something, right? The middle-aged man smiled treacherously, rubbed his fingers, and made a gesture of favor.

Lu Letian was squatting on the ground and enduring the distress to get water outside, and he jumped up when he heard this, "Do you want something?" You are blatantly asking for bribes! Aren't you afraid that we will go to the base leader and sue you? ”

The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders with an expression of nonchalance. "You go, let's not talk about whether you can find Head Chen. Since I am in charge of allocating housing, of course I have the right to arrange you to the 28th floor, and if you don't want to live, you can leave. ”

Dou Le hurriedly dragged Lu Letian, who wanted to run away, Zhou Beichen smiled helplessly, it seems that this kind of behavior will be encountered anywhere, there was no such thing when I rented a small single room in the previous life, and it was still a bit eye-catching for these people to ask for an apartment. "Ming people don't say dark words, how much do you want?"

"Well, 2 packs of biscuits, I'll arrange you below the 20th floor. If you can make 5 packs, I guarantee it is below 10 layers, you can choose for yourself. The middle-aged man replied calmly, it seems that this kind of behavior is not the first time.

Zhou Beichen shook his head, took out five packets of instant noodles from the snakeskin bag, and put them on the table. "Sign up."

The middle-aged man stood up, put the water in the cardboard box behind him one by one, then picked up the instant noodles and stuffed them under his desk, probably there was also a box. After putting away his things, the middle-aged man wrote a few lines on a notebook on his desk, then walked to the bookcase, took a folder with the first building written on the cabinet with the Tuesday label, and rummaged through it. After a while, the middle-aged man looked at Zhou Beichen and asked, "It's 603, 89 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, what is your number?" ”

Qin Qin, who had been quietly watching Zhou Beichen negotiate with the middle-aged man, heard this, his face turned dark, and he refused to answer. Zhou Beichen patted her hand and replied, "No. 250 to 255." ”

"Yes. That's it. The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice the number at all, and looked at Zhou Beichen after registering. Remember to come here every Tuesday to pay the rent on the second floor, of course, you can also rent for a few more weeks at a time, which is more convenient, but we will not refund the balance if you move out early. The rent is not on credit or change, and all food, drinking water and other materials are accepted, and the specific conversion ratio is asked to the staff upstairs. If the payment is in arrears for more than three days, we will forcibly take back the room, and personal belongings will only be kept for one week, after which it will be confiscated. ”

While talking, the middle-aged man took out the room key from the drawer under the bookcase and handed it to Zhou Beichen. "We have a spare key, and if you lose it, you can exchange it for a week's supplies. The access code for Building 1 is 0101. ”

"Do any of you have a key?"

"Do you think it's as simple as building a base into a community? There's so much to do. This is considered lucky, the vast majority of owners have left the decoration keys in the property, or it is more troublesome to reopen the lock. Head Chen sent someone to find three masters with keys early in the morning, but it is estimated that even half of the houses in the first building have not been completed by the end of this day. After all, in addition to the whole set of rentals, each room needs to be equipped with a key. ”

"Well, it's not easy for you either, take your leave." Although he was quite helpless, Zhou Beichen still said goodbye very politely before leaving. The middle-aged man sat in the room, did not speak, just quietly watched them walk out of the room. The last rays of the setting sun gilded his countenance with a layer of golden color, and his facial features seemed to have softened a lot.

In Lu Letian's muttering complaints, the group happened to run into Zhang Hao's team when they walked out, Qin Qin noticed that the two princesses were sick and the girls who were rescued in the supermarket were no longer there, but the others stayed. It seems that although Zhang Hao's requirements are very strict, he at least gave these people a chance. Qin Qin felt that at least Li Jiajia and Li Ya were not the ones who dared to fight zombies in a short period of time. Of course, Li Jiajia is Zhang Hao's girlfriend, so naturally she will not leave the team.

When Zhang Hao saw them come out, he greeted happily: "Have you registered?" Where do you stay? ”

"yes, we're in 603." Qin Qin replied.

"Then I'll ask if I can choose 604, and if we have a chance, we can go out together to find supplies." Zhang Hao looked very excited, and walked into the office excitedly after saying this.

Qin Qin hesitated again and again, feeling that it didn't seem good to go away directly, so he had to pull his team members to go shopping. Perhaps because of the first day, there weren't many staff in the small building. Qin Qin and the others walked around and found that the stairs leading to the third floor were sealed and impassable. There are a total of six rooms on the second floor, all of which have closed doors and are hung with signs for rent payment, material exchange, and comprehensive consultation, while the other three have no explanation. On the left side of the hall on the first floor is the accommodation registration office they just visited and two offices without signs, and on the right is the swimming pool and lounge, the same doors closed and temporarily sealed.

When Qin Qin and the others walked back to the hall on the first floor, they saw Zhang Hao and his party walking out angrily. Zhang Hao, the leader, has a black face, and it is estimated that he has also been falsely accused a lot. When he saw that Qin Qin and the others were still there, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "We are in 902, which is also Building No. 1." I will often contact you in the future, so I will go first. ”

After saying goodbye to the two parties, Qin Qin was also about to take someone away, but he happened to see the reception boy sitting in the hall stretching his waist and walking quickly towards the accommodation registration office. Qin Qin was curious for a moment, waved his hand to signal everyone to wait a while, and then tiptoed over.
