End of the World Cycle

The lobby of the real estate center is a huge sand table, which shows the appearance of the entire first base, which looks magnificent. The best residence is the villa complex in the south. Although it is built a bit densely, the infrastructure, transportation and greenery are all the best.

It only takes about ten minutes to walk to a large supermarket, hospital, or school, but it is also the quietest place. So basically all the superpowers above level three, elite talents, and dignitaries in the base live there. It is just like the inner city of the South China Base, except that the villa area here is not specially fenced off.

Just like an ordinary high-end residential area, there are only a few security guards guarding the gate. In comparison, life in the First Base is more normal, more like it was before the end of the world.

Looking at the layout of the entire base, the population capacity here is estimated to be around four million. Xie Qin also knew that after three months of natural disasters, small bases across the country that could not survive would be relocated to various large bases. The first base was basically the first choice.

But the First Base would also increase its price after the natural disaster. The entrance fee at that time was five times more than it is now. As long as you enter the First Base, you will be properly arranged and rescued. Ordinary bases don't have much stored supplies and basically can't enter. As a result, the First Base has fewer people who have lost their humanity due to the lack of supplies. It has become a premier safe fortress.

Xie Qin's family received special treatment because they had two third-level psychics. The whole family was taken into the VIP room and received by a special person.

Everyone took it for granted that Liu Bo and Xie Ran would join the superpower team, and naturally recommended suitable houses to them, but Xie Qin didn't plan to do so. She no longer had the opportunity to enter the research institute. She could only make good use of Xie Ran's specialness and lure Lu Chaoyun to her house.

Apart from himself, Xie Ran should be the only third-level psychic in this base. Lu Chaoyun must need all the data about Xie Ran. Fortunately, he had recorded all the changes in Xie Ran's abilities from the beginning.

Originally it was to facilitate his ability upgrade, and now there is one more bargaining chip to get close to Lu Chaoyun. Naturally, he wants to use everything he can.

"How do you rent a three-story villa with a basement?" Xie Qin interrupted the man who was introducing the house.

The man was stunned at first, then stared at Xie Qin in surprise.

"rent?"

"Yes. Rent. Or buy."

"The houses here are not for sale. However, they can be bought out for permanent use. However, as long as the base needs them, the house base can be taken back."

"Return?"

"Yes, but we will buy it back at three times the price, and we will also arrange new accommodation for you, so don't worry. But you can move in for free. Two third-level psychics can share a villa of about 600 square meters. Why do you still want to rent it?"

"As you can see, my brother is young and my uncle's IQ is not as high as that of an average person. I am worried about them going out on missions with the troops."

"But you have a large family, all women and children. Are you sure you don't need the help of the base?"

During this time, only Xie Qin was talking. The man understood that the one in charge was the girl in front of him, so he communicated with Xie Qin directly and seriously.

Xie Qin shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness. I hope our family can live well."

"The villa you are looking at costs 500 points per month, and 60,000 points can buy out the permanent right to use the villa."

Xie Qin was silent for a while, and quickly calculated how many points he could exchange for his supplies and corpse crystals. Soon, Xie Qin looked up and nodded and smiled at the man.

"Okay, let's buy it out. Where do I need to redeem the points?"

The man would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. Anyone who could take out so many points at once must be either rich or noble, and they were not a family that could stand on their own before the end of the world. But he could see that, except for the two superpowers, the rest of the family were very ordinary. But experience told him not to judge people by appearance.

"You can exchange it here. There are points exchange counters in the base's comprehensive supermarket, hospital, real estate center, and mission exchange. However, these exchange counters can only exchange points with corpse crystals. Points for exchanging items need to be exchanged at the material market on the west side." The man pointed to a small window not far away, on which was written the words "Points Exchange Counter".

"Okay, thank you. I won't bother you anymore." Xie Qin thanked him politely, and politely declined the man's request to invite his brother and uncle to join the team. He took his family back to the RV.

After returning, Xie Qin counted the inventory and found that there were still 500 third-level corpse crystals and more than 3,000 second-level ones. He didn't know how many first-level ones there were, but he knew that they were filled under the bed of the RV.

In the later period, zombies almost became the energy supply for all mutant animals and humans. Corpse crystals will become less and less. The price will get higher and higher. Xie Qin didn't plan to exchange too many at one time, so he went out with Zhou Lili. He took a small bag with forty third-level corpse crystals and went to the real estate center by himself.

The 200,000 points were divided into 100,000 points on the spot, which went into his and Zhou Lili's passes respectively. Xie Qin directly bought out the villa that he had taken a fancy to. The environment was naturally excellent. It faced the artificial river, and across the river was the school. Not far to the east was a vegetable cultivation base. Being close to the base, you could always buy the vegetables you wanted to eat first.

Although the villa was well decorated, it was not ready for move-in. There were no furniture, soft furnishings, or electrical appliances. After renting the house, Xie Qin asked Zhou Lili to arrange accommodation.

The distance was not that short, so the two asked someone and bought two electric vehicles. Zhou Lili went to the villa alone to see the layout of the house, while Xie Qin went to the residential area east of the base.

It was very large, divided into four areas, and basically 70% of the people in the base lived there. The worst accommodation was provided free of charge by the base. There were neatly arranged three-story buildings, densely built in a row. All were single rooms.

The better ones are one-bedroom apartments similar to bachelor apartments. They are also provided free of charge by the base, but they are occupied by technical personnel who are useful to the base.

To the west, there are some townhouses, which are only three stories high, but they are all two-bedroom apartments with four households per floor. To the side, there are some good-looking areas with greenery and some small shops nearby, which are three-bedroom apartments with two households per floor, or even four-bedroom apartments.

Perhaps to facilitate transfer and escape, the residences in the first base were arranged very centrally. There were only two residences in total, one on the east side and the other on the west side.

To the west is the villa area that I chose, which accounts for about 5% of the population. Another part is people who own RVs, or have a residence and rent out RVs at a low price. People living in RV bases are distributed in various parking lots, and together they account for 25% of the population.

This is the population layout of the entire base. Xie Qin plans to open a small supermarket and a mobile phone store in the residential area to sell supplies that are not used at home.

As long as it does not affect the price of the store in the base itself, it is allowed to open a store base. So Xie Qin was not worried about this. In the spirit of saving time, he went to the residential area to find a store without stopping.

When Xie Qin arrived, he saw a somewhat empty street. At first glance, there should be hundreds of stores, but there were only a few hardware stores and two clothing stores scattered around. There was nothing else.

In fact, it makes sense. At this time, whoever has more supplies will think of keeping them just in case, and no one will be willing to sell them. But Xie Qin knew that soon, the research institute would come up with new seeds and breeding technology, and after the meat of the later mutant beasts could be eaten, human life would enter a virtuous circle.

Basic living can be guaranteed, and after gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle with mutant beasts, human civilization will slowly recover and enter a new stage.

I chose two stores, and then I would connect them to form a small supermarket with an area of ​​nearly 300 square meters, selling food, mobile phones, computers and electrical appliances. Fortunately, business is not good now, and the price of the store is not expensive. The rent of the two stores is only 8,000 points a year.

Xie Qin didn't want to earn points, he just wanted more opportunities to meet strangers, build his own team as soon as possible, and have more ways to get information. Opening a store was the best choice.

A hotel or a motel is also my goal. But I don't seem to have the ability to open these two businesses right now. I will make plans after I get more familiar with this base and everything around it.

I returned to the real estate center to rent a house, and then went to the transaction center to handle the formalities. It was already dark when I learned about the base market and received the handbook.

When we got back to the RV, the meal was ready. Zhou Lili arrived home right after us. We had basically arranged to simply decorate the house and buy some soft furnishings.

Some of the house modifications would take some time. The construction period was set at fifteen days in total. Xie Qin was very relieved that Zhou Lili was doing the job. He planned the supermarket with Zhou Lili and completed the layout. The family worked until late at night to set the prices of all the supplies according to the manual and complete the inventory.

The house was renovated, the shop was renovated, and the shelves were customized and the items were cleaned and put on the shelves. These things took half a month. The shop was finally opened and the family moved into the new house.

The villa is clean white. With warm yellow lights. Although simple, it looks very warm. Everyone has their own opinions, but every house is different.

I live in the master bedroom, which is a light blue and yellow room. It looks very comfortable to the eyes. There are soft tatami and light yellow carpets around. The bedding is also my favorite milk velvet. There is a bookcase on the whole wall with a desk in the middle. Although the dressing room is small, clothes for all seasons are neatly placed and it doesn't look crowded at all. The original shower was changed to a bathtub, which is what I am most satisfied with.

Although this is just a temporary home, Zhou Lili has decorated it to her liking. The same goes for her brother's room, which is the innermost room on the third floor. The whole room is soundproofed with soft packing and a single-person elevator. It is very quiet, safe, and convenient. A rehabilitation handrail is also installed in the corridor on the third floor. Zhou Lili wants to have everything in.

Mom and Xie Jin shared a room, right next to hers. The second bedroom and the children's room were connected, and the two rooms were spacious. Zhou Lili had thought of everything that could be used in daily life. It can be said that she was very attentive.

Liu Bo's bedroom is on the third floor. After all, his younger brother is older, so he can only trouble Liu Bo to take care of some things. Although Liu Bo's intelligence has not yet returned to normal, now Liu Bo can not only take care of himself, but also accompany Xie Ran every day. The two are like friends, studying together and growing up together.

Zhou Lili and her son's room is on the first floor. The layout is the same as Xie Jin's room, but the first floor is convenient for Zhou Lili to cook and manage the whole house. Looking at the warm home, the family lives happily, and Xie Qin sighed that keeping Zhou Lili was the best decision she made.

The store opened the next day after moving into the new home. (Anxin Store) is the name of the small supermarket. When it was still under renovation, this store attracted a lot of attention, after all, no one opened a store here. In addition, there are many people living nearby, and the flow of people coming in and out is large. Gradually, almost everyone noticed that a supermarket had opened here.

It's not that it's not busy here. No one is doing business, but no one has extra points to open a store. There are many small vendors carrying bags or riding tricycles at the entrances of various communities.

A small supermarket like Xieqin is the first one to open, except for the central supermarket in the base. Naturally, more people come when it opens.

Although the prices in the supermarket are similar to those in the base supermarket, it is closer and has a wider variety of products, so many people choose to buy directly from Xie Qin.

The whole family was busy until midnight, when the last customer left. After counting the data on the points machine, today's turnover reached more than 3,800. Business was good.

From then on, Xie Qin's family settled down in the First Base.

After everything was back on track, Zhou Lili and Uncle Liu Bo were left in the supermarket, and Zhang Mingfang stayed at home to take care of the children. I had originally wanted to go to the base school to see if I could let my younger brother go to school, and the person I had been waiting for for more than ten days finally showed up.
