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

The rumbling sound of cars immediately attracted everyone's attention. More than a dozen or even dozens of cars were slowly approaching from the distance. Not only cars, but even motorcycles or electric tricycles could be seen in the distance.

"It looks like the people on the ground are coming down. Let's go back quickly and get ready." After seeing the vehicles on the block, the man behind him immediately yelled at the restaurant, and then stood at the door. He was enjoying watching the fun himself.

A total of three entrances were opened this time, and with temporary tourists, there were about 80,000 people in total. Most of them were the third batch of third-class citizens of the underground city. These people had never entered the underground city before, and even buying a house could only be confirmed through an agent based on online pictures. So after coming down, these people did not flock to the commercial street, but instead found their own community houses in the blocks. They would consider other things only after confirming where they would live and settle down in the future.

The originally quiet neighborhood became much more lively because of the sudden influx of people. At least some of them were temporary tourists who applied for this quota. They had long been curious about the dungeon. The only time it was open before was temporarily closed because of the mutants in the dungeon, so many people still cannot know the truth behind that closure.

Everyone who entered the underground city was immediately shocked by the scene before them. The high-rise buildings were filled with high-tech street lights, and there were drones flying in the air. Even robots directing traffic could occasionally be seen on the streets. It all looked like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster. It was all too incredible.

Li Meng is a sixteen-year-old girl who followed her parents into the underground city to settle down. At the end of the world, Li Meng was still in the fifth grade of elementary school. In her impression, the most developed places in the world are in Europe and the United States. She also went on vacation abroad with her parents and went to Disneyland, but nothing could compare to the scene in front of her, the high-tech streets and drones flying in the sky. In addition, she could even see high towers in the distance that seemed to be rushing into the sky. These were scenes that Li Meng could never have imagined in her dreams before. She didn't expect that one day the movie-like scenes would be right in front of her.

Li Meng's parents are both senior executives of medium-sized enterprises. They were finally able to apply for the right to reside in the underground city because of Li Meng's father's job transfer. It happened that the company opened a branch in the underground city, and Li Meng's father had to take over the work of a certain department of the company. Otherwise, their family could only temporarily live in a community in the inner circle.

Li Meng was sitting on the electric tricycle that his father had just bought. If this car was put in before the end of the world, people would laugh at it. After all, this kind of car suitable for the elderly does not go very fast, and the maximum speed is only about 40 kilometers per hour. But it is just right for Li Meng's family. The price is cheaper than automobile gasoline, and it is more cost-effective than ordinary new energy electric vehicles.

In fact, it was not just Li Meng's family. Many people even drove down their electric tricycles for transporting goods. Occasionally, you could see people riding small folding electric bicycles for designated drivers.

"Mom, this place is so dreamy. It feels like I have entered another world."

Seeing the curious and excited look on her daughter's face, Xu Tong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, watch your head and don't stick it out all the time. What if you bump into someone?"

"No, Mom, look, there are four lanes of traffic here, which is wider than the road above, and the traffic lights here are controlled by robots. No wonder the base has been building an underground city from the beginning. This is the Noah's Ark of mankind. You were quite opposed to Dad applying to live in the underground city at the beginning. Now you should change your mind, right?"

Xu Tong said helplessly, "You, please stop teasing me with what I said before. My previous thoughts have not completely changed. There are too many variables in the dungeon. I am worried that our family will not be able to adapt. And have you forgotten that our family has worked so hard to apply for the status of third-class citizens, which means there are many restrictions. And I don’t know if this so-called class system will intensify in the future. What if there is class discrimination?"

"Your mother is always worrying about these things. The so-called hierarchy is just for the convenience of management. If it is so easy to cause class discrimination, the first thing to worry about is the people on the ground. In order to control these people, the base will definitely find a way to solve these problems. So Li De is not worried about his wife's concerns.

Chen Xin's family is completely different from Li Meng's family. The 18-year-old boy has obvious deep worry on his face, because he is thinking about how to spend the night. He entered the dungeon on a whim, and he did it without telling his family. Although his family is well-off, his parents have always disliked everything about the dungeon, because his uncle was one of the Self-Defense Force members who died in the dungeon. It is said that there are mutant creatures that eat people in the dungeon, and there are many terrible mutant beasts. It's just that the top management of the base chose to conceal the truth in order to stabilize the current situation. However, Chen Xin still applied for a tourist card to enter the dungeon without telling his family.

The reason why Chen Xin was able to apply for a tourist card for the underground city is entirely because Chen Xin is now listed in the development department of an information technology company. This teenager won the world's junior mathematics Olympiad championship at the age of eight, was hired to work for a world-class information company at the age of eleven, and was already the chief consultant of a technology giant at the age of thirteen.

After the end of the world, Chen Xin chose the Jiangcheng base and has been working at the Jiangcheng Research Institute. Every month, he follows the professors of the institute to conduct various scientific experiments. It can be said that a large part of the underground city’s advanced technological products come from their research institute.

Ironically, Chen Xin was never able to enter the dungeon because of his family relationship.

Chen Xin even walked down the street. Fortunately, he met a kind old couple on the road who let Chen Xin get on their car. Otherwise, Chen Xin would not know how long it would take to get on the No. 11 bus.

Although Chen Xin had a tourist pass, he directly applied for three days of residence rights because of his identity, so he could obtain this special authority through his own identity.

However, although he only has three days to stay, Chen Xin is also troubled by a problem: where should he choose to stay tonight?

He heard that the underground city was almost completed and that the hotels and guest houses would be built soon, but he was not sure which hotel he would stay in.

During the conversation in the car, Chen Xin learned that this elderly couple were third-class citizens. They lost their children at the end of the world, but they always maintained their love and hope for life, so they chose to settle in the underground city. The community where they lived was soon arrived. It was about three kilometers away from the entrance. The community was very ordinary, similar to half of the communities seen in the inner circle.

As it was not appropriate to continue disturbing the two elderly people, Chen Xin got off the bus at a nearby neighborhood. He also wanted to stroll around here and take a good look at the entire underground city.

I have to say, everything here is much more interesting than on the ground, especially the train hanging in the sky. The train seems to be suspended in the sky by countless steel wires, and the track below looks like it is floating in the clouds.

He remembered that this design and invention was made by the Transportation Research Institute. He didn't expect that the people there were so imaginative.

The various convenience robots seen on the streets were developed by his research institute. In particular, the traffic directing robots, although they look funny in appearance, are able to direct traffic and even take pictures of illegal vehicles and pedestrians running red lights. They can transmit big data to the traffic command center, which will then send the ticket to the individual's citizen card based on the license plate or facial recognition, and the citizen card or citizen card will automatically deduct the fine.

Chen Xin walked around and before he knew it, it was five o'clock in the afternoon. He even rented an electric scooter as a means of transportation.

Considering that he would have to stay here for two more nights, Chen Xin decided to find a hotel to stay in first.

And within his sight, there was an apartment-style hotel that looked very upscale in decoration.

The sign of the hotel that Chen Xin entered read "Ruyi Five-Star Hotel". There were two large stone lions outside the door, which looked majestic and impressive.

A drowsy man was standing outside with an electric baton in his hand. He was not wearing a uniform, so he was probably a newly hired security guard.

The door of this hotel is a glass revolving door, and you can see dim lights and the front desk from inside. The whole hotel has about five floors and the area seems to be quite large, but it is a bit exaggerated to be called a five-star hotel. Before the end of the world, hotels of this level were at most ordinary business hotels, not even three stars.

However, conditions in the apocalypse are harsh, and it is already good enough to find a hotel with a nice environment. Besides, I heard that the prices in the underground city are higher than those on the ground.

Actually, there are hotels with good environment in the base, but they are relatively concentrated in the inner circle of the wealthy area. The level of those hotels maintains the level of star-rated hotels before the end of the world. The hotels are not only luxuriously decorated, but also have swimming pools and artificial gardens. However, the price of one night's accommodation is also staggering. Chen Xin was invited to stay in a diamond hotel with his colleagues from the research institute. It is said that it is a real five-star standard. The price of one night is at least one B-level crystal core or 2000 points, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for ordinary people.

Chen Xin looked at the building in front of him, thinking that even if it was a five-star hotel, the price should not be too outrageous, otherwise there would be no need to drive to the neighborhood where third-class and second-class citizens lived.

When I walked in, I found that the crystal chandelier in the hall was not turned on at all. There were only two wall lamps on in the entire lobby. No wonder the light looked extremely dim.

The entire lobby is quite large and is divided into two areas. Like most hotels before the apocalypse, one area is a lounge area for resting or waiting for a room change. There are several large sofas and single sofas, as well as a bookshelf. However, there are no books on the bookshelf, only some decorations that look quite strange.

The receptionist was a young girl, only a few years older than Chen Xin. She had her chin in her hand and didn't notice Chen Xin approaching at all. Instead, she was sleeping soundly.

Chen Xin first knocked on the marble table at the front desk, then tried to ask, "Hello, can I stay here?"

The girl was disturbed from her dream. She raised her sleepy eyes and noticed that there was someone in front of her. But her mind was not clear yet. When she realized that it was a tourist, she slightly widened her eyes. But she was a little impatient because her rest was disturbed. "Why open the hotel if you don't want to stay." She complained in a low voice, and then nodded: "Yes, you can stay, how many people?"

Chen Xin turned around and looked around the hall for a while before saying, "I'm alone. Is there any room available?"

"You're alone, so a single room with a king-size bed will be fine. How many nights will you be staying?"

"Two, no, one night." Actually, Chen Xin wanted to stay for two nights, but he didn't know the hotel's environment and specific price yet, so he was still cautious here. He planned to stay for one night first. If the environment is not good, he would just stay for one night and check out directly the next day.

The girl at the front desk looked lazy and seemed not to be working at all. She opened the computer to check the room types without even raising her eyelids. She just said, "We have business rooms, ordinary single king-size rooms, and deluxe king-size rooms. Which one do you want?"

Chen Xin couldn't understand what was going on. Although they were all single rooms, he didn't know whether the hotel facilities in the underground city were the same as those on the ground, so he had to continue asking: "Excuse me, are there any differences between these three room types, such as size or other things?"

The girl at the front desk glanced at him as if he were an idiot. There was obvious impatience between her eyebrows, but she still answered Chen Xin in the spirit of service: "The ordinary rooms and business rooms are about 12 square meters, and the deluxe rooms are 20 square meters. In addition, the ordinary rooms have no windows, while the business rooms and deluxe rooms have windows. The deluxe rooms also have a separate balcony to enjoy the scenery. The other network, electricity and water usage are all normal. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Chen Xin could have just left, but he was a shy and introverted person, so it was hard for him to refuse other people's requests. Plus, the security guard just happened to come in and said, "Finally someone's checked in. The boss must be so happy. He doesn't have to complain about us not having anyone check in all day and threatening to deduct our bonuses."

Chen Xin regretted it now and had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Is there any difference in price?"

"Except for the deluxe rooms, the prices of ordinary rooms and business rooms are similar. The price for an ordinary room is 288 per night, and the price for a business room is 368. However, the new store is having a promotion and is offering discounts. Currently, the prices are 238 and 318 per night. Which one do you want to book?" The girl at the front desk suddenly spoke faster, her eyes fixed on Chen Xin, as if she was afraid that Chen Xin, a customer, would run away.

Finally, Chen Xin had no choice but to choose an ordinary room. Although the girl at the front desk looked disappointed, she still checked him in quickly.
