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

The staff member's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Gu Tongwan, and he immediately got out of the car to start a conversation.

During the conversation, Gu Tongwan learned that the staff member's name was Yu Liang, he was 27 years old and had just gotten married at the beginning of this year. Because he was a staff member of the base, he and his wife currently lived in a 20-square-meter one-bedroom and one-living-room employee dormitory allocated by the base.

The reason why Yu Liang came early was that if the transaction was successful, he could get a commission of at least thirty to fifty points.

The current land transaction center actually also covers business. The more land or houses that can be sold, the higher the commission and points you will get.

Although he felt that Gu Tongwan was a foolish girl with a lot of money, it would be good enough if the house could be sold. This way, by the end of the month, in addition to paying off the staff dormitory fees, he could also save some money to buy meat at the supply and marketing cooperative.

In the base, points are equivalent to currency, and points can basically be used to buy some goods that are only available to privileged people.

Gu Tongwan didn't plan to exchange too many pleasantries with Yu Liang. He let Yu Liang lead the way in front while he followed in the SUV.

According to the conversation just now, the base covers an area of ​​about one-tenth the size of Jiangcheng before the end of the world. Currently, the base accommodates 300,000 people, and the actual number of people it can accommodate is 700,000. However, the base leaders are currently strictly controlling the population growth.

Even family planning is being tightened, as if everything has returned to the period before liberation, with each family only allowed to have one child, and those working within the system having priority in childbirth rights.

The natural disaster has only entered its second year. All infrastructure and energy have been destroyed, and all industries are in need of reconstruction. Although the world's population has dropped sharply since then, the space available for human habitation is limited.

However, the overall environment in the end times is not good, and the living conditions are difficult. Basically, many young couples are unwilling to have children, for fear that giving birth to them will become a burden.

There are basically no buildings higher than ten stories high in the base, and most of the houses are about four or five stories high. When passing by residential areas, Yu Liang in front will stop and introduce them as a tour guide.

The residential building is about seven stories high, with both small and slightly larger apartments. However, the largest apartment is only a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment of 45 square meters, and the rest are all one-bedroom, one-bathroom studios of 20 to 25 square meters.

Gu Tongwan guessed that most of the villagers in Xiaoxi Village should live in residential buildings, so he could ask about Zhang Youfan's family situation some other day.

We also saw several semi-oval houses along the way, with Self-Defense Forces guarding outside. It is said that the area is a base research institute and only confidential government personnel can enter.

The remaining buildings that can be seen are those painted blue, also seven stories high, with a total of three buildings. It is said that only members of the base guard team are eligible to live here, while most members of the Self-Defense Forces live in the dormitory area or rent a house with their own points.

The guard team's houses are obviously much better than those in the residential area. Not only are they painted on the outside, but the houses are also much more exquisite. It is said that the basic house size is around 30 square meters.

Yu Liang looked at the small blue buildings with some envy, and said with emotion: "There are only 300 guards in the entire base, all of whom are selected from the elite team. In addition to 500 points in salary each month, they also receive 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of meat. Water and electricity are also free."

Gu Tongwan thought about the issues of electricity and water usage, so he asked how the base used electricity.

"The electricity in the residential buildings is basically limited to four hours a day, and the water supply is only available in the morning and evening, each time for half an hour. The water and electricity bills are also settled at the transaction center. If you build your own house, you have to draw electricity yourself, but the cost is very high." Yu Liang was probably worried that Gu Tongwan would not buy the house, so he didn't say anything too firm, but just asked her to be prepared for the high electricity bill.

Gu Tongwan thought for a moment before asking, "Is there a time limit for electricity in self-built houses?"

"Yes, but your apartment is close to the villa area, so the power restrictions there are not too strict. Basically, the power comes on at 8 am and is cut off after 8 pm." After a pause, Yu Liang took out a thermos from the three-wheeled motorcycle, took a sip of warm water to moisten his throat, and continued: "The electricity fee is 20 points per kilowatt-hour, but if you only use fluorescent lamps for daily use, a few kilowatt-hours a month will be enough."

Gu Tongwan nodded slightly. This was a good idea. She could generate her own electricity during the power outage. Now that she had entered the base, she could use the solar panels, so she didn't have to worry about electricity.

After chatting for a while, Yu Liang glanced at his watch and decided to take Gu Tongwan to see the house first, and then act as a tour guide to introduce it to her.

After driving forward for about five or six kilometers, small blue and white villas gradually came into view, and there was a five-meter-high wall nearby. This was probably the villa area that Yu Liang had mentioned before.

There are also patrolling Self-Defense Forces outside, and armed guards at the door. Occasionally, you can see all kinds of luxury cars driving out of the community.
