Carrying the Bamboo Horse on the Thousand Miles Return from the Doomsday Natural Disaster
Chapter 72 Rent a villa first
As the number of survivors increased, the military also suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a shortage of military manpower. Apart from this rescue base, they have no ability to manage the security of other places in this city. Because they have seen too many robberies, as long as they don't enter the base, the military people don't care about the conflicts that are happening in front of them.
The base uses a points system to settle everything, including rent, water, electricity, food sales, medical treatment, etc. The original currency cannot be used, and the points card is the real bank card.
The distance between the bases is too far, and the point card can only be used at this base. Other bases have their own calculation criteria, and use a points system. As for private bases and other small government bases, some do not have a points system, and some only circulate gold and grain. This also made their management very chaotic, and many people escaped from there.
Of course, most of the tents outside are occupied by people like this. They don't believe in the base, but they still rely on it to live. They rob anyone who comes, no matter who they are, and if they get a chance, they climb into the car and smash the windows. Later, the scavengers in the base became defensive, and they began to rob unsuspecting newcomers.
Liu Chen has formed many teams with his neighbors, and they can be regarded as regular partners. Except for Liu Chen, who now has enough to feed the whole family, everyone else has family members to support. However, this also involves human losses. Many of the original partners have not survived the extreme cold blizzard mode. People outside looting on the way also contributed to the loss of life. People went crazy trying to grab supplies. Liu Chen said that he who had been a soldier for more than ten years could not fight as many people as he had in these few months. And they are the ones looking for death, maybe just for an aluminum alloy door or window or a pack of expired instant noodles.
It is not difficult to enter the rescue base, everyone has a points card. There is a general description of the situation, and you can unlock it by swiping your face and entering your fingerprint. Liu Chen said it was to prevent people from killing people to grab score cards. This is also the result of recent research by scientists. After all, this is a relatively mature technology compared to the original mobile phone and computer.
There is underground water in the base, which is only available for three hours a day, one hour each in the morning, noon and evening. There are generator sets at the base, and there are photovoltaic generator sets and power generation panels on the roof. There are also wind turbines and thermal coal generators taking turns supplying power, but power is only available from 7pm to 12am.
The most important thing is that you can use mobile phones here, and the signal only covers this city. It’s just that the monthly rent and phone calls are very expensive, and they are basically toys for the rich. Ordinary people's mobile phones are discarded after they run out of battery and signal. Now used second-hand mobile phones and tablets and brand-new mobile phones and tablets are particularly valuable. The points are very high, but the mobile phones and tablets in mobile phone stores in the city have been severely frozen by the high temperature weather and the extreme cold mode. It can be said that few of them can be turned on and used normally.
After having a basic understanding of what was going on in the base, Liu Chen looked at the supplies on the truck and suggested that they rent a small villa. The rent seems expensive, but it is safer than a single room. There is no need to rent a parking space, the yard of the small villa can park two trucks.
Brand new tires on the car are worth more than scrap tires, and intact racks are worth more than deformed ones. Coupled with Gu Yu's brand new mobile phone, tablet and laptop, it would not be a problem for them to live here for a year. Of course, they also had to solve the problem of food. On the surface, this problem still relied on the supplies in the RV. Anyway, they didn't plan to live here for a long time.
I didn't even take out my brand new mobile phone or computer. I entered the base and exchanged money in the supplies hall for about a month's rent, which was enough to rent a small villa for a month. Xu Lingfeng stopped exchanging money. He didn't plan to stay for a long time anyway. Moreover, the rent can be calculated on a daily basis, which is very user-friendly.
Liu Chen was separated from everyone in the supplies hall. He had to deal with the supplies he brought back today. Even if he had been cooperating with people for several months, he had to be careful about them.
Xu Lingfeng and the others have arranged a place to stay. This villa is behind the building, closer to the mountains and air-raid shelters. Also because the rent is too high, most of the people living in nearby villas are people who originally had supplies, and many of them are scavengers who form teams.
Liu Chen and the others live in a building because they have too many people to take care of. There are double rooms, as well as large houses with three bedrooms and one living room and four bedrooms. For example, Liu Chen lives in a four-bedroom apartment with five families living together. Liu Chen lives in a room with another bachelor. The rent is calculated based on the room, and the water and electricity in the living room, kitchen and bathroom are shared equally. Every time he goes out, a young man will be left behind, and those who go out will give him a share of points. This was done to prevent a sneak attack. After all, the people left behind were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
The villa Xu Lingfeng and the others rented was indeed very large, with a total of four floors including the basement. The protective effect is not bad, but there is almost no decoration inside. There are cement walls and a row of sofas in the lobby on the first floor.
There are two large rooms with Kangs on each floor. It can be seen that the original room should be connected by two rooms. There are no quilts, and there is a wardrobe next to the kang in each room. Xu Lingfeng asked everyone to live on one floor and burn two kangs, which could also save firewood and coal.
After all, the points for this thing are quite high. It seems that there are many people who collect old furniture or go to the mountains to cut firewood in exchange for points. The base management regulations emphasize that you can go up the mountain to cut branches, but you are not allowed to knock down large trees. It is even more forbidden to cut down saplings and large trees that are still alive. Once reported, they can be directly expelled from the base.
Gu Yu provided bedding for both Kangs, and his and Xie Wen's rooms were specially covered with the tiger skins he picked up. Nix came out of the space, happily climbed onto the bed of Xie Wen and Gu Yu, and then wailed and threw himself at Zhang Xun for comfort. After all, he was the original king of the forest, and even the remaining smell scared the dog.
There is a fireplace in the living room downstairs, where you can also warm up a fire. There are quilts placed on the sofas around it, and everyone can hang out there.
All preparations were done, Gu Yu and Xie Wen cooked a luxurious meal. I made boiled beef, northeastern pork stewed with vermicelli, spicy and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and mutton soup. This is their rare leisure time. The men have built the fireplace and the fire pit upstairs. They finally sat down together and had a big meal, complete with a big pot of white rice, of course. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were also stuffed into the fireplace, and Guyu even baked a batch of strawberry cake.
Liu Chen was stunned when he came. He pinched his thigh and wondered if he was dreaming? Xu Lingfeng had already asked him to come by himself, and the villa was not difficult to find.
