The new day was bright and sunny, making people feel much better.
After breakfast, they set off for Quancheng Base according to the location indicated on the broadcast!
The number of people increased, but the capacity of the car did not increase much. It made the car feel a little crowded. Fortunately, the shelves modified by Lu Hui were flexible and sturdy. Under Zhao Ledan's reasonable arrangement, the storage of supplies did not waste space. Moreover, the crowding also showed that there were sufficient supplies, which would make people feel satisfied and happy.
"I thought J-City's base should be in J-City. I didn't expect it to be in the town under the neighboring Z-City!”In the car, the idle people naturally talked about the J-City base. Zhao Ledan was a little surprised when she heard that the J-City base was not in J-City.
Zeng Zhiqiang had the most say in this matter because of his former military status. Looking at Zhao Ledan's expression, he said with amusement,"I think that most of the large and medium-sized bases in the country should be built on the basis of the original military bases. How can the location of the military bases be in large and medium-sized cities? Before the apocalypse, the J-City base was mainly used to protect S Province and H Province, defend the country's airspace, and cooperate with other military regions. Of course, the zombie virus had spread all over the world. The problem of the defense between countries that they were worried about before was no longer that important in front of this problem. They couldn't even take care of themselves. Who had the time to covet other countries…Err, the topic was off topic…Anyway, it was normal for people to know that the base wasn't in the city.”
"These places were military locations before the apocalypse. Ordinary people like us wouldn't have the chance to visit them. Now that we can enter directly, I have to take a good look!”Before the apocalypse, Yu Xiaowei was very curious about these places, but he couldn't get in. He had always been very regretful. Now that his wish was about to come true, he couldn't help but be excited. (In the past, the teams had only entered small bases, not military bases.)
"Tsk, what are you so happy about? Do you think that you can look around casually when you go in? You can only look at unimportant places like the dormitory and cafeteria. What's there to see?”Lu Hui looked at Yu Xiaowei provocatively with a look that said,"You're so stupid."
"Hey, Little Grey! Are you itching for a beating? Be careful of your Red Wolf's frying pan!”Yu Xiaowei didn't explode like Lu Hui wanted. Instead, he calmly glanced at him and said something that made Lu Hui explode.
"Hey! You stinky Xiaowei! This Young Master has such a handsome name, how dare you twist it!”Lu Hui did not drive today. He sat next to Yu Xiaowei in the second row. He pretended to be fierce and pinched Yu Xiaowei.
"Little Gray is so cute! Don't you know how to be a good person!" Yu Xiaowei used both his hands and feet to block the attack while continuing to provoke him without fear of death.
Li Xi didn't like to get along with people in the past. He had almost no friends, and his personality was a little dull and withdrawn. After forming a team, her personality gradually became much more cheerful.
At this moment, Li Xi turned around and looked at the pair of clowns with a smile. He wanted to tease them and nodded seriously."Yes, Little Gray does sound quite cute!”
"Beauty Xi! Be merciful! I'm an elegant and unrestrained man. How can I be associated with cuteness!”Lu Hui did not dare to treat Li Xi with the same attitude. He bitterly frowned and tried to gain sympathy from her.
"If you don't like Little Gray, then you can call him Gray Wolf." One had to know that Hui Tai Lang was now the spokesperson of the good man in the hearts of many women!”
"Alright, you two are ganging up to bully me, right?”Lu Hui didn't dare to joke with Li Xi, but he didn't have too many concerns about Zhao Ledan. Usually, he would bicker and joke around. Now that he saw her coming over, he deliberately glanced at her and then at Yu Xiaowei. He smiled sinisterly," Oh, I understand. You two are really husband and wife!”
Zhao Ledan was embarrassed when he heard this. Although everyone joked around often, this was the first time he was being teased. He was so embarrassed that his face instantly turned red. His usual sharp mouth suddenly lost its effect. He could only anxiously say," You, you, you…I, I, I…"
Yu Xiaowei took the opportunity to free himself from Lu Hui's " demonic claws " and casually watched the show as if the main character of the incident they just mentioned had nothing to do with him. Zhao Leyan was angry and anxious. Now, he couldn't even say a single word. He could only open his mouth and his face was red.
" Haha…"" Haha…" Everyone burst into laughter.
With the addition of Lu Hui, the atmosphere of the team became livelier.
As they chatted and laughed along the way, time passed quickly. They finally found Quancheng Base at noon.
The tall stone pillars, thick iron gates, and sturdy walls did not have a flashy appearance. They gave people the impression that they were simple and practical. In today's chaotic and dangerous environment, they gave people a sense of security.
There was a fully armed soldier standing guard on both sides of the gate. They held submachine guns in their hands and were on standby.
On the left was the reception area, which provided information, registration, and other services. Behind the wall was a courtyard with two rows of simple bungalows. Between the bungalows was a playground for parking. This courtyard was specially used to check if there were any carriers of the zombie virus. The quarantine time was one hour.
The process of entering the base was similar to the bases that the team had passed before. The only difference was that it was more formal.
Since Xiao Wei and Guo Rui were in charge of the procedures to enter the base, the rest of the people went to the isolated courtyard to wait. During this time, they could settle their lunch problem.
With a sense of satiety, everyone was interested in observing other people. Looking at the small courtyard full of people and cars, and the group of people waiting in line outside, Zhao Leyan curiously asked Yu Xiaowei and Guo Rui, who understood the situation,"Do people join this base every day? Wouldn't that be overcrowded?"
Yu Xiaowei deliberately coughed. Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he answered Zhao Ledan with satisfaction, which was equivalent to saying to everyone,"Not all the people who entered this base are new. Some of them had come back from missions, while others had come from other bases for official business. As for the problem of overcrowding that Dandan was worried about, it did not exist at the moment. It's only been a month since the apocalypse. Some people have just arrived at the base like us. There are still many people who haven't arrived yet. There aren't many people who entered earlier. Moreover, it wasn't a peaceful era now. There would definitely be casualties among those who went out to do missions. For all these reasons, the base would not be overcrowded. Even if there were, the base would find a way to solve it. Moreover, if there were really so many people, it meant that there were many survivors. This was a good thing for mankind!”
Guo Rui knew that Yu Xiaowei liked to show off, so he didn't intend to fight with him to answer. After he finished speaking proudly, he continued to talk about other things."Since we plan to stay for a few more days, we have to consider the food problem. There were official organizations and private organizations among them. They accepted missions in small teams, obtained points, and exchanged points for the materials they needed.”
"We naturally chose a private organization. If the difficulty of the mission was average, they would form a team themselves. If the difficulty was higher, they would form a team in the form of cooperation. In short, no matter what we do, we have to act as one. We can't be separated.”Zeng Zhiqiang immediately expressed his stance, which was unanimously agreed by the entire team.
"Are these points equivalent to the currency in the base? Then, we won't have any points once we enter. How about the rent?”Zhao Ledan asked the question she was most concerned about.
"Yeah, paper money is now equivalent to waste paper. Even gold, silver, jewelry, and the like are not worth much. There are no other suitable currency tools for the time being, so I can only use points to replace them. Points were stored in a card, similar to a bank card. The difference was that points were equivalent to money. The base had a special conversion table for conversion. Now, food, clothes, weapons, and other practical items were the most valuable, while decorative items and luxury items were the least valuable. We'll first use food to exchange for points to pay rent, then accept missions to earn points to exchange for food. That's the only way.”
"Rui, what kind of houses do you rent? If there was a villa, he would rent this.”Li Xi was not worried about not having enough food. Since he planned to stay for a few more days, it was necessary to live comfortably so that everyone could rest well. Moreover, it would be more convenient for training. The others also thought of this at the same time. Because they were worried about the points (mainly food), they were a little hesitant. Hearing Li Xi's words, the weight in their hearts shifted and they quickly nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll do it. Let me take a look…Most of them are apartments and bungalows. There are also very few villas. Fortunately, because they are expensive, there are still empty ones. Then let's rent one! Yes, the monthly rent was 500 points.”Guo Rui took out the base booklet he had received and found the rental information column. He checked the price and recalled what he had learned.
When everyone saw the booklet, they all requested to circulate it.
"Wow, one point for a loaf of bread, two points for a bag of instant noodles. This way, the rent is quite cheap!”Zhao Ledan habitually converted it according to the thinking before the apocalypse and felt that the rent was really not expensive.
"You can't use the price before the apocalypse to convert! Before the apocalypse, food was the cheapest resource, while real estate was the most expensive. Now, it was the other way around. There were many empty houses, but food was becoming more and more scarce. The biggest problem for the survivors in the base was food and clothing. As long as the house was habitable, they would not be picky. Therefore, even if they had points, they would rather exchange them for food than pay rent.”Although Guo Rui didn't fully understand the situation in the base, he could guess what was going on.
An hour passed quickly as they chatted and laughed. Before they could finish, the base staff came to inform them that it was time.
Everyone got into the car and followed the receptionist into the base.
