After Xiao Yi inquired about the rules for the exchange of supplies, he went to the garage and drove out of the base. Fortunately, the inquiring eyes behind him hadn't followed him yet. Xiao Yi drove further towards a more secluded area, not in a hurry to return. He simply stayed out for two days before returning, otherwise it would be too conspicuous. The only thing was that he didn't tell Yu Wei when he left, and he didn't know if she would be worried because she couldn't find him.

Xiao Yi drove for hundreds of kilometers before he found a sheltered place to stop and let Lili and Xiao Yuri out.

This time he came out to take Yuri to find out if there was any trace of his father. Xiao Yi thought that if this huge flood submerged all the land, then those people would probably escape here, otherwise they would still be drifting on the water?

Xiao Yi carefully checked some of the cars that he had collected in the garage before. He pumped out all the oil in the cars. There were also some water, food, tea, wine and other things left in the cars. Xiao Yi picked them out and put them all away.

Finally, we selected about 20 vehicles, secured them all with tow hooks, and waited to tow them back together.

After taking a shower, Xiao Yi prepared to go to bed. This time when he came to this new place, Xiao Yi's thoughts and goals were relatively simple. He just wanted to stay at home and be a salted fish comfortably. He just didn't know if he could fulfill his wish.

After two days of wandering around, Xiao Yi finally returned to the base with 20 vehicles of similar size. He caused a bit of a commotion upon reaching the gate. Many people had gone out searching for supplies, but it was rare for someone to bring back so many vehicles and metals at once. They couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi with envy, and the bolder ones even tried to approach him. However, Xiao Yi, with his expression of "keep away from strangers," still stopped quite a few people, but not one of them was there.

"Oh, the condition is pretty good. How much is your car? How are you selling it?" Xiao Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man who was less than 30 years old, wearing a black winter suit, holding a woman, looking at Xiao Yi with a haughty look on his face, the arrogance in his eyes almost overflowing.

Before the apocalypse, Xiao Yi often encountered people like this. After all, they were either rich or powerful, or they were idiots who weren't afraid of death. But after the apocalypse, money and power were fleeting, and even if one wasn't afraid of death, this wasn't the way to die. So the man in front of him was probably another person of extraordinary status. Xiao Yi didn't bother to pay attention and simply pretended not to see it.

Seeing Xiao Yi's half-dead appearance, the man also got angry and pushed the woman in his arms away and rushed towards Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi didn't even bother to frown, and put the gun against the man's forehead, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

The man didn't expect Xiao Yi to be so disrespectful to him, nor did he expect the man to pull out a gun so easily. Although the anger in his eyes had not diminished, the slight trembling of his body clearly betrayed him: "You, you, do you know who I am? I tell you, if you hurt me, you will be in trouble." The man stiffened his neck and continued to shout.

Xiao Yi was too lazy to argue with him, and the next second, "bang!" A bullet came out from the gun.

The man was so frightened that he immediately screamed: "Ahhhh". The people around him also screamed and turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch. No one expected Xiao Yi to be so decisive. Just when everyone thought Xiao Yi had smashed the man's head into a bloody mess, they saw that the man was actually standing there, not even a scratch on his skin.

After a few seconds, the man who was screaming in the same place finally reacted. However, because of the situation just now, his legs were still weak and he couldn't use any strength in his body. Just when he wanted to say something, his knees bent unconsciously and he fell to the ground, kneeling at Xiao Yi's feet. The few people who had been with the man immediately surrounded him, helped him up, and quickly left the scene. Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing as he watched the few people leave Beijing. What kind of family background could a weakling like a shrimp have that allowed him to survive until now? It was really ridiculous and ironic.

The farce was over, and the people who came to collect and count the supplies finally arrived. Xiao Yi looked at their hurried appearance and it didn't seem like they came on time, which made him feel a little relieved. This time, a total of four people came to count Xiao Yi's supplies for exchange. It took almost half an hour to complete the count. The total value of metal materials in the 20 vehicles, depending on the brand and model, was 2 tons, or 4,000 kilograms. According to 12 contribution points per kilogram of metal, Xiao Yi got a contribution point in one go. He can't be said to be rich, but he is definitely a petty bourgeoisie. After all, the rent and utilities only cost a few hundred contribution points a month.

Xiao Yi had no objection to the result, and the balance on the watch account also showed a contribution point. After handing the item to the person in charge, Xiao Yi returned to the base and went to the housing rental center.

Renting a house here is not something you can do casually. Contribution points alone are not enough. You need to have a corresponding position and identity. For example, if you are an official, you can choose to live on the 17th floor with Huang Xiongwei and others. Or scientific research can be on the 22nd floor. Or the most lively 10th floor. In the end, Xiao Yi picked and chose the 16th floor, which is neither too high nor too low. Most of the people living here are officials, but they have families and are not suitable for living in collective dormitories. Therefore, it is relatively safe and managed, and is close to the bustling square and activity area below.

The houses inside were also divided into many categories based on location and size, and were almost identical to those before the apocalypse. There were densely populated apartments, comfortable, square-shaped flats, and even two-story duplexes. Some had balconies, while others did not. Each floor of the base was at least 100 meters apart, so privacy issues were well managed. In the end, Xiao Yi chose a duplex with a balcony, about 80 square meters above and below, which cost 800 contribution points per month, not counting utilities.
