Chapter 9 City C
Bai Wendong knew that the two of them were worried about their families, and they never stopped at all unless necessary refueling along the way, in order to facilitate it in the future, Mu Rong also moved a few oil barrels into the space, although the space does not produce gasoline, but Mu Rong can use the products in the space to exchange for it, she tried her best to leave the resources that could be left for others without exposing her space, and when she went to the small supermarket at the gas station, she only took some of the bread and ice cream that were easy to spoil.
And Zheng Xiayan, who was refueling the car and being left by Bai Wendong's side to be vigilant against zombies, looked at Mu Rong's confident appearance and almost thought that Mu Rong had emptied the supermarket, and also reminded Mu Rong that he should leave some food and water for the survivors behind, looking at the condemning eyes of the two, Mu Rong swore to leave easy-to-store food for others, and the two let her go.
Bai Wendong drove almost sleepless for a day and a night, and arrived in City C before noon on the third day, looking at the environment around him that gradually became familiar, Mu Rong's heart that had been hanging in his throat was about to jump out, just as the so-called hometown timidity, he was about to return to his parents, Mu Rong became nervous.
"Sister, take some food with a long shelf life, and you may have to pay a certain amount of food when you go in later." City X began to collect entry fees the next day, after all, the army in the city can't sit on the mountain, and the army provides protection to the survivors, so naturally it also needs to charge a certain fee. Zheng Xiayan looked at City C, which had high walls like City X, and felt that City C should also charge a fee for entering the city.
Watching Mu Rong take out two boxes of instant noodles from the space, Bai Wendong drove the car into the queue waiting to enter the city.
"Murong?" Mu Rong and the others had just lined up at the entrance gate and opened the car door, and before they could get out of the car, they heard a familiar voice.
"Liu Hanfei?" Mu Rong looked back and saw the young man who was currently smiling with a sunny face, Liu Hanfei was Mu Rong's high school classmate, and he entered the military academy in S City after the college entrance examination.
"You're back alive! That's nice. Although the words are not good, they are the most sincere joy in the last days. Alive! Although the zombie level is still very low, the number of people who were infected at the beginning is nearly half of the population, and it is very rare for everyone to be okay like Mu Rong's family.
"Well, how did you end up joining the army here?" Mu Rong didn't know what was going on in the military school, but at least he knew that the military school was also a four-year school, so why did he, a student who hadn't graduated yet, already stand here with a gun in his hand?
"Well, that's a long story." Liu Hanfei looked at the survivors who were still queuing up behind him, and knew that now was not a good time to catch up, "I'll tell you more details next time we meet, try not to go out when you go home, the zombies haven't been cleaned up yet." ”
"Okay." Mu Rong didn't want to disturb other people's work anymore, it happened that the soldiers of Liu Hanfei's team had already checked the car, registered the names of the three people, and took away the materials that the three people needed to pay to enter the base, and then asked Mu Rong and them to enter the checkpoint to check whether there was any possibility of being infected.
The three of them did not have the slightest scars on their bodies, so they naturally quickly came out of the checkpoint. The three of them happened to pass through the exchange on their way home this time, but this time Bai Wendong proposed not to miss it, probably because there are fewer people in the base in City C than in City X, and the materials to be paid to enter the base are also a little less, Bai Wendong thinks that the situation in the exchange must be different from City X, they will live in City C in the future, and they can understand the rules of the base as soon as possible, and make plans as soon as possible, the greater the help for the future.
Bai Wendong's analysis was the first to say, Zheng Xiayan and Mu Rong naturally would not object, so they queued up at the resident information registration office for more than an hour. During this period, Mu Rong and Zheng Xiayan both called home to report their safety, and when they learned that the three of them had arrived safely in City C, the elders cried with joy, urging them to go home quickly, and on the other hand, they were busy cooking a big meal for them.
The three of them had already discussed that they wanted to show their abilities, so they didn't hide it when they filled in the information, and the three of them registered together, which also surprised the staff at the registration office, and answered all the questions Bai Wendong asked him with a good attitude. Now, after two days of urgent discussions, the upper level of the base in City C has preliminarily determined the base system, and the exchange of currency and housing problems are measures that the government came up with before the end of the world, so the five bases have the same system for these two systems, that is, the handling fee for entering the base in the future and the fee that the residents of the base need to pay every month will be adjusted according to the situation of each base.
With Tomurong's curiosity, Bai Wendong asked about the crystal nucleus in the zombie's brain again, and surprisingly, the staff had never heard of any crystal nuclei at all, whether it was not at all or whether the current zombie level was too low and had not yet formed a crystal nucleus, which would be known later.
The three of them registered their information, received the credit card that is now common to the base and bound to their identity, and went to the residential management office.
Because the allocation of housing in the housing management center requires the credit card to enter the identity, it is almost a registration information at the registration office, and the housing management office will immediately deal with the housing problem of the person. It was Mu Rong's turn, after swiping her credit card, the staff was going to assign her a bachelor apartment, but Mu Rong immediately stopped and asked about the conditions for exchanging the house. Now the base is divided into two parts, the inner city is far from the city gate, and it is surrounded by places where the army is stationed, so it will be safer than the outer city, and naturally the houses originally built there have become sought-after. But now if you want to live in the inner city, you can either be the upper-level personnel of the base or the families of the soldiers, or you are an alien, and then you can exchange the real estate in the outer city for the residence in the inner city, but the proportion of the exchange is very harsh, and the house of more than 100 square meters in the outer city can only be exchanged for a small apartment of about 50 square meters in the inner city.
After thanking the staff, Mu Rong and the others turned to other places in the exchange, and when they returned to the car, Mu Rong roughly calculated the area of housing that his family could exchange for, and found that it could be exchanged for about three or four houses, but the staff just now said that because the base did not take into account that there would be survivors in the last days, the houses that were to be allocated in the last days were built in the outer city before the end of the world, and now they can't free up their hands to search the empty houses in the inner city one by one. So if you exchange for three or four houses, it will be difficult for Murong and them to live together, so it is better to change to a relatively large villa, and the family can live together and take care of each other.
Mu Rong told the two of them his thoughts, and Zheng Xiayan also felt that the idea was good, after all, if they wanted to live in the future, they might still have to ask a few of their young people to go out and work hard, and the elders in the family had no special abilities, so they naturally didn't worry about their respective families, so that even if one of the three of them went out to earn credit points in the future, they could stay and watch the house alone.
