Chapter 197 Get Out of the Base

After taking out the air conditioner, Leng Yi asked Li Liang and Lin Feng to move it to the pickup truck.

The rear compartment of the pickup truck is open, making it perfect for use as a truck.

Three people were moving the air conditioner when a man in blue clothes came over.

He recognized Leng Yi as the boss and approached him, "Boss, do you need an installer?"

Leng Yi glanced at him and said, "No need."

"Boss, our installation fee is very cheap. The official price is two kilograms of broken rice per person, but we only need one kilogram." The man said quickly, "I haven't found a job for several days, and my children at home have no food to eat. Please be kind."

Leng Yi looked at him and asked, "Four air conditioners for only one pound of broken rice?"

"Yes, but it requires two people. It's not easy for one person to carry it. Just two kilograms of broken rice will be enough." said the man.

Leng Yi saw that his clothes were all patched up and he looked honest and respectful, so he nodded and said, "Okay, come with us!"

"Okay, thank you, boss!" The man immediately smiled happily and went to the side to call another person squatting on the ground.

The two men climbed onto the back of the pickup truck and followed it to the villa.

"There are four rooms here, and there should be one installed in each room," said Leng Yi.

"I understand." The two nodded repeatedly.

I secretly looked around the villa. They had just moved in, so it was empty and there was nothing there.

It took two people four hours to install the air conditioner. They were sweating profusely and their backs were wet.

Leng Yi took two bags of broken rice and gave them to the two men, "This is your reward."

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss." The two of them took it quickly with a smile on their faces. They had food to eat today.

Watching them go out, Leng Yi closed the iron gate.

"It's not easy for them. They work for half a day to produce only one pound of food." Yang Qing sighed.

"In the end times, who can have an easy life?" Leng Yi nodded. "We are able to live in this world because you have space. Otherwise, we might not be able to live a good life."

"However, didn't the clerk say this morning that, apart from a few wealthy people, most of the villas here are occupied by base officials, so it would be much easier for them." Yang Qing felt a little aggrieved.

Leng Yi smiled, "You know this world is inherently unfair. However, they should do their job. Managing such a large base is not easy for them."

"That's true." Yang Qing nodded. There are more than 100,000 people in a base, and so many people need to feed.

And there are those who live in mobile cabins, with all kinds of people there. Petty theft is inevitable, and fighting may also be common.

It is not easy to manage either.

At noon, Lu Lin cooked four dishes: one with bacon and dried beans, one with spicy and sour shredded potatoes, one with bacon and dried radish, and one with seaweed egg drop soup.

It is difficult to take out the green vegetables at this time, so you can only eat some dried vegetables first.

After dinner, Li Liang suddenly said, "Brother Yi, Lin Feng and I have discussed it and we will go look for a job this afternoon."

"We can't keep living like this for free. Living in such a nice house is already a great bargain. We are not ungrateful."

Leng Yi nodded and said, "You guys can do whatever you want. Don't worry if you can't find a job. Just take your time."

"Got it, Brother Yi!" Li Liang and Lin Feng both nodded.

In the afternoon, Leng Yi installed surveillance cameras in various places in the villa and the hall. He used very small surveillance cameras that ordinary people could not see at all.

Then a doorbell was installed on the iron gate so that someone could hear it when they rang the doorbell.

In the evening, Li Liang and Lin Feng came back and said they had found a job.

"So fast?" Yang Qing was curious.

"It was all thanks to Li Liang. He used to be a police officer and worked in the security team. I worked with him before and I also have experience in the security team." Lin Feng said with a smile, "So we joined the base's security team together."

"Twenty points a month, and a free lunch."

Yang Qing nodded, "That's pretty good."

At least they can support themselves.

"Is there any other job?" Lu Lin asked. She actually wanted to try working. She had always been dependent on Yang Qing, and she didn't want to become a parasite.

"There's a lot of work, but few good jobs. It's mostly dirty and backbreaking work like growing vegetables, reclaiming wasteland, and cleaning toilets. The good jobs have already been taken."

"The base has to support so many people, so we have to keep opening new plantations, so there is a shortage of people."

"But there are more and more people and it's hard to manage, so the security team is also short of people. But not everyone can join the security team. They also tested our skills before recruiting us." Li Liang said.

"I'll go take a look when the time comes." Lu Lin thought for a moment, "If there's a suitable job, I'll go too."

Yang Qing smiled and said, "Okay, go and try it. If it doesn't work, come back. Don't force it."

After dinner in the evening, everyone sat outside in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

The temperature in the mountains drops at night and it's not that hot.

There are fewer people in the back mountain and it is relatively quiet. You can hear the sounds of birds and insects, which is quite comfortable.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside and Li Liang got up and walked over.

After a while, he came back and said, "Brother Yi, sister-in-law, someone is here to visit."

"Who is it?" Yang Qing asked.

"There were two women. One of them said she lived in the villa over there. When she saw new people moving in here, she came to visit." Li Liang said.

Leng Yi and Yang Qing looked at each other and said, "Let them in."

A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. They all live in villas, so their status should not be simple. It is not a bad thing to establish a good relationship with them.

Everyone went into the living room and Li Liang led the two in.

"Hello, I'm..." One of the women suddenly exclaimed when she saw Yang Qing and Lu Lin, "Why are you here?"

Yang Qing and Lu Lin were both stunned. It was her? That saint!

It was a time of floods, and Yang Qing and Lu Lin were driving a speedboat to go to their former company to buy goods.

On the way, they met a group of people. When they saw the two girls, they lied to them and said they would take them to find supplies and would share them equally if they found any.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin were not fools. They knew their intentions and decided to take advantage of them.

As a result, the woman came out and said that those people were not good people and told them not to be fooled.

They ignored it at the time because they didn't trust those people in the first place.

Then those people wanted to do something to them, so Yang Qing and Lu Lin killed them all in one go.

The woman jumped out again and said that they were too cruel, and that although those people were bad, their crimes did not deserve the death penalty, and she scolded them.

The two were speechless and didn't want to pay any attention to this saint.

I didn't expect to meet you here?

"You two vicious women, how did you get into the base? Did you kill someone again and steal their points card?" The woman pointed at Yang Qing and Lu Lin, her face filled with anger. "How can we let people like them in? Kick them out!"

Yang Qing sneered, "Why do you care how we got our points cards? We can get in as long as we have them. What right do you have to kick us out?"

"I don't have the power?" The woman raised her head. "My dad is the second-in-command of the base. I only need one word from you, and you'll be out tomorrow!"
