Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The so-called "land exchange" does not mean what it says literally. The deeper meaning is that after the above inspection team conducted a joint inspection in more than a dozen nearby villages, they decided to include all the land here in the scope of the construction base.

It covers an area of ​​approximately 4,000 square hectares, which is roughly equivalent to the size of a dozen university towns. It is currently estimated that it can accommodate 300,000 people. This is only the first base in Jiangcheng, and a second base will be built in another location in the second half of the year.

Because the nearby villages will be included in the base area, the land in the hands of the villagers can be converted into base land or houses waiting to be allocated by the base.

At first glance, this meaning is a bit similar to that of "relocated households", but in fact the land in the hands of the villagers is not equal to the land area of ​​the base.

Qiantang held a meeting in the village committee compound, clearly stating that the decision to build the base is urgent. It is the most correct decision made by the country in the face of natural disasters and is also the last safe haven for mankind in the end times.

For this reason, regardless of whether the villagers agree or not, a large military force will eventually move into Xiaoxi Village to carry out construction work.

But as far as the current policies are concerned, any villager in Xiaoxi Village who holds a formal real estate certificate or land certificate can register in Qiantang.

There are now two ways to redeem.

The first is to directly convert the existing land and property area into a base and then distribute the ready-made houses. The approximate ratio is three square meters per acre of land. If it is a self-built house in the rural area, the ready-made house will be distributed at a ratio of one to five.

For example, if Zhang San's family owns ten acres of land, then the ready-to-move-in house will be about 30 square meters. The area of ​​the two-story self-built house is 200 square meters, which is 40 square meters. In total, they can own 70 square meters of ready-to-move-in houses. At that time, one large apartment or two small apartments can be allocated according to the ready-to-move-in houses built on the base.

The second way is to exchange the current living area for the self-build area within the base. The base is not responsible for the construction materials and labor, and the villagers need to bear the cost themselves. However, the area will not be discounted. That is, if you have a house of 50 square meters, you can exchange it for a house of the same area on the base, as long as you have cement and steel bars and can build a house by yourself.

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in Xiaoxi Village. Everyone felt that the distribution of the base in this way was simply exploitation of the common people. You know, some families only have three or four acres of land in total, and if they build their own houses, they can only get a house of less than 50 square meters in total. However, there are more than ten people in the family, and such a small house cannot accommodate them at all.

The villagers were even less happy with the second way of exchange. After all, who would be stupid enough to build a house on the base? In the current environment, it is impossible to find cement!

Qiantang seemed to have known that the villagers were dissatisfied. After all, he had encountered the same situation in other villages, so he used the same excuse.

"I know that everyone feels that they are at a disadvantage, but imagine if there is no base and the next natural disaster comes again, if the beast tide mutants rush into the village crazily, there will be no protection from the base, no suppression from the army, and no firepower attack. How many people in the village can survive in the end? Moreover, the base can provide jobs, and it will have electricity and water. In the future, it will develop into a new human city and slowly expand outward. It is a brand new social system. In addition, you don't want to watch your wives and children sleeping in the open air or even worrying about them all day long. But in the base, no matter in which aspects the facilities and security are, they are not comparable to those in the current village. I hope everyone will consider my words carefully before coming to me. The registration period is only two days, and we will set off for the next village the day after tomorrow."

It has to be said that Qiantang's words caused a huge stir, and the final impact was that people in the village have started to sign up one after another.

It was too cold during this period, and the number of mutants in the back mountain increased. Even with medicine powder on the body, they could not withstand the attack. In addition, due to the dropping temperature, many elderly people in the village have died.

Qiantang's words were like a shot of adrenaline that hit everyone's heart hard.

Yes, in such an apocalypse, who doesn’t want to have a safe haven where they can sleep well and play freely? Even if the residential area is a little small, as long as the family can be reunited, isn’t it the greatest happiness?

Early the next morning, in the village committee compound, there was an endless stream of people queuing up to register.

Gu Tongwan was also in the queue, watching everyone complain while signing the consent form. When he left, he was holding a red book in his hand, which contained their name, date of birth, one-inch photo, and the actual housing area after conversion into the base land certificate.

The person standing in front of Gu Tongwan was Qiao Laoer's wife. She kept stamping her feet out of cold and sighing softly.

"We only have three mu of land, and if we only count the area of ​​the bungalows, I guess the house we get won't be too big."

"As long as it's big enough to live in, the size of the house doesn't matter."

You have to know that houses in the post-apocalyptic base are extremely expensive, and you can't just buy one with money. You have to get access to the base through layers of connections. Even if you want to enter the base and obtain a resident card, you have to hand in a certain amount of food or energy. Otherwise, once the base is saturated with people, it will no longer be open to the outside world. Others who want to live in the base can only wait for the new base to be built through the back door, but in the meantime they have to wander outside and be threatened by mutants and various natural disasters.

In fact, Qiao Laoer's wife knew this truth. In fact, everyone queuing here knew that if they wanted to survive in the end times, they had to find a safe place to live. The base was the most suitable one at the moment, and they were also fortunate that Xiaoxi Village was included in the base construction range.

In the end, Qiao Laoer was allocated a total of 38 square meters of house, which is a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. However, there are no elderly people in his family, only two children, so it is not too crowded to live in.

When it was Gu Tongwan's turn, the registration staff only glanced at the half acre of land and the area of ​​less than 100 square meters, and directly said, "34 square meters."

Who knew that Gu Tongwan said: "I don't want the house allocated by the base, I want land."

The staff member looked up in surprise and met a pair of cold almond-shaped eyes. What a beautiful pair of eyes. No one knew what the face under the mask looked like.

But after all, it was work, and the staff member quickly reacted and frowned to confirm again, "We don't want a house, we want land, are you sure?" Perhaps afraid that Gu Tongwan didn't understand what he meant by asking for land, he patiently asked, "Comrade, don't you understand what just asking for land means?"

Gu Tongwan nodded his chin, "I know what you mean, and I am sure that what I want is the land, not the allocated house."

The staff member put down his pen, looked at Gu Tongwan from head to toe, then looked at the registered identity information, and saw the word "none" written in the information column for family members, which made him feel even more strange.

Probably guessing what the staff member was thinking, she added: "My parents died young, and I don't have many relatives in Xiaoxi Village."

"Then you should have a house. If you only need land, do you want to build a house by yourself?"

"Is it not possible?" Gu Tongwan asked back.

This question left the staff speechless. Indeed, there were two options for the villagers to choose from, but in so many villages, few people dared to really take the land, except for some veritable "landlords" who had hundreds of acres of land and large villas. After converting them into two good small villas, they still had a hundred square meters left for building their own houses. But it was hard to say whether they could build houses on the base in the future. Their internal staff were not sure whether the base would have surplus building materials for sale by then.

"Little girl, you have to think it over carefully. You can't regret it after signing and stamping. When you enter the base, you will use this piece of paper to subscribe for land. Even if you want to buy a house at that time, you have to sell the land. But selling the land and then buying a house is not cost-effective. For example, you now have a total of about 400 square meters of land. If you want to buy a finished house in the base, you don't know if it is enough to buy a toilet."

The staff were not joking. In the apocalyptic world, building materials were scarce. Most of them were used first to build bases, and then for the villas and small buildings of a small number of high-ranking officials and powerful people. There would be no extra building materials for ordinary people. Even if there were any, it would cost a huge price to buy them.

Gu Tongwan signed quickly and entered his fingerprints as required by the staff without any delay.

The staff member opened his mouth but didn't say anything else.

After everyone left, he shook his head and sighed, and happened to meet a colleague who was doing another job next door and came back.

My colleague smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You look constipated."

"Do you think people who give up ready-made houses and want land these days are stupid?"

My colleague raised an eyebrow, "Is there really anyone who wants the land?"

The staff member nodded and handed over Gu Tongwan's information. The one-inch photo on it was taken when Gu Tongwan was in college. She was not wearing any makeup, but her complexion was still fair and clean. It could be seen that she was a beautiful person, but she was not very photogenic. Once she appeared in a photo or video, her beauty would be greatly reduced.

"Oh, what a pretty girl."

"She is pretty, but she has no brains."

A colleague patted the staff member on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, it has nothing to do with us. Some people may just want to live on a few acres of land. Besides, we won't know what will happen until the base is built. In the last days, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Those people will regret it. I have to work hard to earn points, and then I will try to get a small-sized dormitory for the company."

On the 190th day after the apocalypse, the expedition team left Xiaoxi Village.

It is the 192nd day of the apocalypse. Today is a day when the extremely cold temperature has slightly warmed up. The outdoor temperature is only minus degrees Celsius. Xiaoxi Village has organized a group of people to go to the county town kilometers away. The main purpose is to go to the town to search for limited supplies.

Among the applicants was Gu Tongwan, and this time he made an exception and brought along his two dogs.
