Chapter 403: Enter Hecheng

Although Lin Hai's incident affected the mood of the two of them slightly, after sleeping for a while, the two set off again.

"Morning, can you listen to the song?" When Shen Yichen was driving, he also had to pay attention to the road conditions, so he didn't play music all the time.

"Broadcast, I thought you didn't save it." Shen Yichen originally had the habit of driving and listening to music.

"How is it possible, food for thought." Chen Yuanyuan said.

Chen Yuanyuan used a tablet to store music videos, and after connecting to the stereo in the car with Bluetooth, he played the pre-apocalyptic Hualiu music.

Listening to the familiar melodies before the end of the world, sure enough, the music is eternal, and I don't know if the former singers and stars will struggle like ordinary people in the last days.

The two of them are not in a hurry, so they also stop and go on the way, and they will go in and take a look when they see an interesting post station.

Today's caravans resemble the service areas on pre-apocalyptic highways, with small ones with just a few dining and parking spaces, medium-sized ones with more lodging and shops, and larger ones with petrol stations.

Outside the post station, there were occasional begging elderly, women and children, but Chen Yuanyuan didn't pay attention to them.

"These beggars are all in gangs, and generally those who don't have a criminal record can find jobs in official post stations or factories even if they can't enter the base." Shen Yichen said.

"There's no more to beg now?" Before the end of the world, it was not difficult to see homeless people or beggars, but now there will be no such days, right?

"Yes, but do you see their ruddy faces?" Shen Yichen said with a smile.

"Not really, so where are those people?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"If they don't even grasp the opportunity to work, no one will save them in the last days." Shen Yichen said lightly.

Now the number of people is plummeting, whether it is the army, the construction of bases or some factories need manpower, basically in a state of recruitment.

Although it can't be said to be rich and expensive, it's absolutely no problem to eat with a mouth, and if you have the heart to work, it must not be difficult to find, and the official can do this step beyond many unprepared countries in the last days.

Along the way, Chen Yuanyuan also exchanged the compressed biscuits of Xiangjia for many interesting small items: some ancient loans, out-of-print vinyl records, ancestral prescriptions, etc.

Although for others, it is not as practical as a meal, but for Chen Yuanyuan, who is not short of food and clothing, it is simply a large-scale leakage scene.

Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was shopping and buying along the way, it seems that shopping can really heal a woman's mood.

At about two o'clock in the morning, the two of them arrived near the Hecheng base, two hours later than expected.

The Hecheng base is located in a basin, and the size of the base is a little larger than the second phase of the Yuecheng base, and the architectural style is also similar, mainly mid-rise buildings.

Before the end of the world, Hecheng was only a third- or fourth-tier city, and its development was average.

However, after the end of the world, because the Hecheng base is located in the middle of the three provinces, it is also an important road to the southwest provinces, and the entry into the city is simple, in the vigorous development period of the team, the Hecheng base has also eaten a lot of economic dividends.

When Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen drove the RV to the entrance of the base, a staff member stepped forward to register.

"Welcome to the Hecheng base, two of you?" The staff asked.

"Yes." Shen Yichen said.

"Is it a visitor or is it an application for settlement?" The staff said.

"If you're traveling, how long can you stay?" Shen Yichen said.

"Do you have ID cards for other bases? I'll help you look it up. The staff said.

Shen Yichen handed the two of them the resident cards of the Yuecheng base to the staff, and after seeing the staff scan the code with their mobile phones, they told them that they could stay in the city for up to 14 days each time.

"Each person pays a hundred shells to enter the city, or five kilograms of grain."

"A hundred begays?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, our base has a range of intranet Wi-Fi, and this fee includes the Internet fee." The staff thought that Chen Yuanyuan thought it was too expensive.

"I mean what is Bey?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"This is the currency of our base, the full name is Shell, and you can also exchange the points of the Yuecheng base for one to one, but there will be a 5% handling fee." The staff said.

Each base has its own currency, but the official base has currency control, and all the base's currency is exchanged on a one-to-one basis, and only a handling fee of no more than 5% can be charged.

"Let's get five thousand points." Chen Yuanyuan said.

"Please wait, it will take about fifteen minutes to settle with the Yuecheng base." The staff said.

Since the Yuecheng base uses electronic money, it is necessary to communicate by phone when exchanging, and it is generally contacted once every half an hour, so it is necessary to wait.

It is said that it is a shell coin, but it is really made of shells, and it is composed of six shells of different sizes, namely 100 shells, 50 shells, 20 shells, 10 shells, 5 shells and 1 shell.

In addition to the number, denomination and pattern engraved on it, each shell coin is also covered with a layer of material reinforcement, which looks simple and not easy to fake.

After the two exchanged five hundred shells of change, the rest were of one hundred denominations, fortunately there was a hole in the shell coin that could be strung into a string, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to push the shell.

After the staff processed the visitor badges and exchanged the shells for the two of them, they asked about the two cars.

"Do you need to park your car outside? Or will it drive in? ”

"How much does it cost to park outside?" Shen Yichen said.

"Thirty shells a day, if you drive the car in, most parking lots will cost 100 shells a day." The staff said.

Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen discussed, 5,000 points for two people to play for a week is more than enough, and there is no need to save too much, so they decided to drive the car in.

I don't know what the sanitary environment is inside, and if you can't find a suitable place to live, you're not afraid of a place to stay.

Although it will be a little hot at noon, at least it is clean and hygienic in the car.

After the two entered the Hecheng base, they found that it was completely different from the Yuecheng base, a bit like a factory area, full of large and small trucks pulling goods, and workers unloading goods with bare shoulders and sweating.

After the two found a slightly open place to connect to the base's wireless network, they didn't expect a message from the Yuechengtong App.

[Xiaoyue Travel Assistant: Now it is detected that your network connection is [Hecheng Base], do you need to convert to [Yuecheng Pass - Travel Version] for you? 】

After Chen Yuanyuan replied according to the instructions, he saw that the various chat boxes that were originally at the Yuecheng base turned gray, and two new dialog boxes popped up.

One is "Yuecheng residents seek help from other places - Hecheng", and the other is "Hecheng base travel strategy".

"This Yuechengtong is too intimate, even outbound travel services!" Chen Yuanyuan said.

"Although the infrastructure and military strength of the Yuecheng base are only in the midstream of the major bases, when it comes to scientific research and technology, it can be regarded as the vane of the major bases." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
