Chapter 30: Snow Falls
When I woke up in the morning, it was already covered in snow.
The goose-feather snow was still falling, and the three children of the villa next door were running and playing happily in the snow.
However, such a happy scene will only appear in the villa area, where the people who live are basically wealthy anti-virus hunters, black market merchants and middle class, in this era, the three-story villa is not worth much, but the heating costs in winter, the consumption of food, and the cost of security and cleaning throughout the year can definitely make the mayor retreat, this is a real thing, the high-level government of Gale City basically rents in the military's military reserve.
If Qin Ge remembers correctly, there are a total of thirty-two villas in this villa area, sharing a heating boiler, and the coal that needs to be consumed every winter needs to be divided equally among each family 100 gold coins, and this villa area also employs 15 handymen who are responsible for cleaning, and fifty bounty hunters equipped with guns and bows as security personnel, who have the right to kill any thugs, thieves and other illegal elements who try to enter the villa area.
"Is Mr. Qin Yueming at home?"
When Qin Ge was quietly eating breakfast, someone knocked on the door, his mother walked over and opened the door, and what walked in was a short and stout middle-aged man, he was wearing a crisp suit, holding a black briefcase in his hand, and there were two tall Russian bodyguards outside.
Qin Ge recognized this person, he was the developer of this villa area, and the director of property management, called Ning Brown, in this era, it is outdated to build a good house and sell it, and the best way is to rent it out.
For example, Qin Ge's annual rent for their three-story villa is as much as 200 gold coins, but that crab with great powers has already prepaid them five years' rent in advance.
But not all villas are rented out independently, at least a third of the villas are separated into small rooms for the city's middle class, well, at least those who can afford the rent, heating and security.
At least it's really safe here.
"Is there anything wrong?"
The father asked, his voice cold, because it would not be a good thing for the developer and landlord to come to the door.
"Hehe, Mr. Qin, that's right, because this winter is exceptionally cold, and the snow is relatively heavy, it has affected the transportation from the provincial capital to our Gale City, so it is almost expected that the government and the military will have a hard time ensuring that everyone is well fed in this cold winter, and you and I both know what this means, especially this summer, there are several groups of refugees who have fled from Russia, North Korea, and South Korea, which is really a disaster. ”
"And you and I both know that those refugees can turn into mobs at any time, they do all kinds of evil, fearless, so for the safety of the community, and the wishes of the majority of residents, we have decided to hire another hundred bounty hunters as the security force of the community, which will last until June next year, but this will require a temporary increase in security costs, according to the old rules, the security fee for your villa is 100 gold coins, to be honest, this is very cheap. ”
After Ninblac finished speaking, his father was just silent, and his mother was silent, but this was definitely not feeling embarrassed or wanting to bargain, Qin Ge, who was familiar with their personalities, knew that maybe in the next second, they would ask Nyingblon to return the rent, and then move back to the refugee area immediately this winter, so Qin Ge rushed to get up from the table before all this happened.
Due to the darkness in the room, or the dizziness of Nin Brown's old eyes, he didn't even notice Qin Ge in the corner like a hill at first, until the terrifying pressure came to his face, he realized what was happening, and wanted to turn around and run, only to find that his two legs could only kick in the air.
"Don't worry, Boss Ning, I'll give you the cost of security in a few days, but now I don't think you're interested in having breakfast with our family, goodbye. ”
"Ah, uh, goodbye, ha, goodbye. Nimbron ran out in horror, but it was only a small episode.
Qin Ge turned around and looked at his father with a serious expression, as well as his mother who wanted to stop talking, and smiled.
"Dad, Mom, you two don't have to worry about anything at all, if a black iron-level anti-virus hunter can't live happily in this kind of villa, then the world should really be in chaos, and there may be a classmate of mine for a while, it seems that he is called something Feifei, he is going to borrow my car to hold a wedding for his cousin, well, I have already agreed, don't forget to accept 50 gold coins." ”
"I'm going to talk to a female friend today, I might be a little late when I come back, don't prepare me dinner, and don't worry, even if I'm genetically mutated, you can hold your grandson." ”
Qin Ge deliberately told a joke, in this cold, cruel and desperate winter, it is absolutely right to laugh more, especially not forgetting that there is still hope to wait.
Pushing the door and leaving, the sound of the father laughing and scolding the little rabbit cub in the room and the mother's earnest instructions were instantly blocked by the wind and snow, but Qin Ge, who was still honest and smiling brightly, turned his eyes cold.
Those who haven't lived in Gale City will not understand how desperate the city is in the cold of winter.
This is the border, close to Siberia, and every year when the only line of communication is closed by snow and ice, all kinds of supplies become extremely scarce, even if the provincial capital allocates a lot of food and winter clothing here every autumn, but even in the luckiest years, it is normal for hundreds of people to die.
The culprit of all this, in addition to the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero, is only the invasion of the virus and the Grayback Devil, the Grayback Devil is okay, their combat effectiveness is not high, at least they can effectively defend, but the virus likes this desperate world the most.
Bands of heavily armed soldiers have begun to patrol the streets, which is inevitable every winter when there is a heavy snowfall.
In fact, Gale City can already be classified as a military city, and it is said that the city government has applied for the revocation of Gale City several times, because it is too far away from the rear and it is too difficult to supply materials, but there is no follow-up.
Qin Ge also felt that it was impossible, not to mention that this was a transit station to the entrance to the ash layer of Amur City, just to maintain the mysterious bunker post station hundreds of kilometers to the north, and the military would never allow Gale City to revoke it.
Thinking of the mysterious bunker station, Qin Ge couldn't help but think of Mu Xiaoye, did she also follow her father Crab back to Taoyuan?
It's only been a little over a month, and it feels like it's been a lifetime.
Qin Ge was a little sad, and then he carried the heavy sword to zero, and he sank into the wind and snow.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
