It was late. Cang Yu had been driving all day, and I had also been riding in the car all day. Although I got off to move around for a while, it didn't help much.

Lin Yue didn't examine the new house closely. She only took out two bowls and a small basin to fill with spiritual spring water. She and Cang Yu each drank from one bowl, and the two of them drank from the basin together. After having a simple midnight snack, they placed beds in two adjacent rooms on the second floor and went to sleep.

The next morning at six o'clock, Lin Yue's biological clock woke her up on time. It was still dark, and she got up immediately without wasting a minute.

As I stepped out of the room, Cang Yu also came out of the room.

"morning!"

"morning!"

They used to greet each other every day when they were in Jinglan Community, but today, Lin Yue felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Before Cang Yu could say anything more, she went straight to the washroom.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, the two men and two wolves stopped practicing and instead explored the layout of the villa together.

The villa is a duplex with a Chinese-style decor. On the first floor, in addition to the living room, there is a dining room separated from the kitchen and bathroom, as well as two bedrooms. The staircase is a spiral staircase built against the wall. The second floor has five bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and each room is equipped with a washroom and a large balcony. The third floor is half a glass conservatory and half a large balcony with a movable roof. On the left side of the balcony, there is a carved partition wall, which is used for drying clothes or drying clothes directly.

The yard downstairs is very large. Last night it looked bigger than the building next door, and now that it's daylight, it's twice the size of that building.

The area behind the house can be used for farming, and the two sides in front used to be planted with flowers, but they've all died now.

The courtyard wall is a double-layered structure, two meters high.

Such a great location, yet no one had ever wanted it before. If it were her, she could have taken it in a heartbeat, and then life would be so peaceful.

After viewing the apartment, the two began moving their belongings from the car into the house. They had gone straight to bed after dinner the night before and hadn't moved anything in.

The room for the two of them was fully furnished, and Lin Yue did everything she could to make it as comfortable as possible.

It was only after the space was upgraded that she went to the industrial area for a zero-dollar shopping spree and swept through the whole area. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have needed these things. When she first started stockpiling, she didn't even buy a bed or bedding.

In contrast, the living room on the first floor was simple. Since it was fully furnished and located in an affluent area, no one would break into the house to take things, so everything in the house was still there. Therefore, she didn't touch anything on the first floor and simply used the original furniture.

Standing on the third-floor balcony and looking out, I couldn't see a single ice crystal. The roads and houses were very clean, indicating that they must be regularly cleaned.

Where there is power, even ice and snow cannot reach.

"Cang Yu, when are you leaving? I'll prepare your things." When you're traveling, you can't go hungry if you can afford it.

He had previously said he would leave after dropping her off at the base, but he didn't leave yesterday, and he didn't ask why.

But this person used to be so dense that he wouldn't even say a long sentence, and he might leave without telling her, so she had to ask him in advance.

"I've decided to stay for two days, 'renovate' my current place, and then leave." After looking around, he wasn't entirely satisfied with some of the places.

First, there's the movable roof, which is no longer usable due to extreme cold; then there's the glass greenhouse—he has no problem with the greenhouse itself, but he does have concerns about the glass, as its safety factor isn't good enough; next is the fence—two meters isn't high enough, it needs to be at least three meters, and an electric fence needs to be installed on top so he can feel at ease with Lin Yue living there; finally, there's the main gate—it's too ordinary, he needs to find a way to get some good doors and replace everything inside and out.

And what about the area around the houses? Should we pave it now? After the extreme cold passes, snakes and rats will increase dramatically, and they'll all come out of the ground to burrow...

If he can't come back in time, it will be very inconvenient for Lin Yue to lay the floor by herself. But if Lin Yue wants to plant something now, laying the floor will be inconvenient.

If you have the materials, it will take at least four or five days to do all of this.

Lin Yue doesn't lack materials, but he lacks good materials. However, he remembers that he collected some electric grids in the industrial area last time. He can exchange them for some materials to build the wall first, and then install the electric grid after the wall is built.

Since Cen Shen has already become a junior leader at the Qinglong Mountain base, he shouldn't be leaving anytime soon. He should focus on taking care of the important matters first.

"Okay, we'll go ask around later and get some materials back." Lin Yue had no objections.

If Cang Yu felt it was unsafe, then it really was unsafe. Moreover, she also felt that the outer wall was too low; if it were 1.8 meters high, anyone could easily climb over it, and it definitely needed to be raised.

She didn't know much about architecture, but with the idea of ​​not being ashamed to ask questions, she carefully discussed with Cang Yu how to "renovate" the place. After all, they would be living there for a long time, so safety should be the priority.

Cang Yu explained his ideas to Lin Yue in detail, then made a list, and the two set off for the trading area ahead, while Cang Lang and Xue Lang stayed at their old home.

On the way to the villa area last night, Lin Yue also learned about the basic layout of the base from Yang Ning, and only had a preliminary understanding of the base's division.

As mentioned before, the base was built around Yuquan Manor and included Yuquan Manor within it. The expanded area in front was the collective area, which is basically the civilian area, for ordinary survivors to live in.

The collective area has now been initially formed. Last time, the base's army went to search for survivors and brought back a large number of people, all of whom settled in the front.

Although they were found by the base, they still need to use points to exchange for housing and food. If they don't have anything to exchange for points, they can do the work assigned by the base.

If someone really can't afford it, they'll have to live in the communal hall. Putting aside whether it's convenient or not, the smell inside is really unpleasant, and she definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.

Besides taking on jobs assigned by the base, you can also work as a scavenger, collecting supplies outside the base and exchanging them for points at the government affairs hall.

Of course, you can choose to exchange the items you find with the base, or you can choose not to exchange them with the base and exchange them with someone else.

As a result, some scavengers felt it wasn't worthwhile to exchange their belongings with the base, so they would find private individuals to trade with. Meanwhile, some people who came to live at the base still had some possessions on hand, and thus, the market was born.

The market is small, just a small area about fifty meters long and six meters wide. People set up stalls to exchange goods every day. The base sends people to maintain order. Regardless of whether they make a sale, the stallholders have to pay a point as a stall fee.

In addition to the market, there is also a large supermarket in the base, right next to the market. It has all kinds of daily necessities, which can be redeemed with points or directly with gold. As for paper money, it has long been invalid.

However, the materials the two needed were definitely not available in supermarkets or markets; they could only exchange them with the base. Therefore, they needed to go to the government affairs hall to inquire if there were any channels available.

But before going to the government service hall, she should first stroll around the market to see what she can exchange for, since she might need to set up a stall to exchange things in the future.

Having decided on their destination, the two looked at the simple map they had obtained from the gatekeeper and headed straight for the market.

The map was abstract, but it was still understandable, and they didn't get lost.
