"Although it's expensive, it's really useful. It's said to be developed by someone with a mechanical talent. The signal is very good, and it can also be used to play games."

As they were talking, a woman next to them interrupted and said, "Although it's a bit expensive, it's really convenient. The radiation range includes our entire base and 2 kilometers outside."

"I heard that it was set up in Area B specifically to make it easier for others to buy. Otherwise, they might not be able to come into Area A."

"If you ask me, there's no need to set up a counter there. Those people can't afford it. 800 points are enough to buy a lot of bean cakes."

"Have you heard? There are fish in the water now. There aren't many, but some people caught some and exchanged them for a lot of points at the research institute."

"Is it true?"

"Fidelity."

"Damn, what are we waiting for? Just pick up a random mission and let's go out and catch some fish."

"Walk."

As the news that there was fish came out, those who had been sitting leisurely in the house just now stood up and walked out together.

These people are basically gifted. Even if they have enough food, who would complain about having too many points?

Points are essential to ensure life.

With the points, their lives could not be the same as before the disaster, but they were not much different.

Ji He also followed him out.

She originally planned not to leave the base today, but she didn't expect that the cell phone would be so expensive. For the sake of the phone, she decided to go out of the base to take a look.

I just haven’t decided what to exchange for points yet.

After leaving the house, some of the group rode bicycles while others went straight into the rain.

There is no need for raincoats or anything like that.

You will get wet if you wear it, so it’s better not to wear it at all.

Anyway, gifted people have good physical fitness and will not easily catch a cold even if they are caught in the rain.

Ji He looked at their backs, shrugged, and started running after them.

In Area A, bicycles have become the most popular means of transportation.

Most cars are in very poor condition after a year of exposure to the sun, and even if they were allowed to drive a car, the average person today cannot afford to put gasoline in it.

What's more, renting a car requires paying a considerable amount of points and deposit.

Bicycles are still better. If you encounter a mud pit, you can get off and carry the bike forward.

There are quite a few cars in Jihe Space, all of which were replaced due to the rain during this period.

Mammoth, Brabus, Bentley, etc.

The more low-key ones are Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover.

They are all modified off-road vehicles.

Not a single low-key one.

She could never imagine the luxury of those rich people. Selling so many modified cars to her was like selling a 10-dollar T-shirt at the morning market.

Once she got started, she became excited and thought all of them were good, so she changed more than 20 machines at once.

I thought, maybe I can use it when I go out in the future.

She has a lot of bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles, human-powered and electric ones.

Compared to food, these things are not that expensive.

Once out of Area A, people's relaxed demeanor changed instantly.

People riding bicycles also carry their bicycles on their shoulders.

It is said that the smartest part of human beings is the brain. Not long after the base was built, a special job emerged.

rickshaw.

They lined up at the entrance of Area A, hoping that one or two rich people would come out and give them a ride.

Most of the pulling masters are 40-50 years old, both men and women.

They modified the tricycle they used to pull luggage to the base, keeping the tires and using picked-up items to renovate the tricycle's cargo box into a seat, and inserted two long sticks in the front. In this way, a human-powered rickshaw was completed.

These laborers were wearing wet clothes and squatting on the roadside, staring at the people coming out of Area A. When they saw people who were dressed a little better, they would pull their carts over to ask questions.

As for those who are bald or wear tattered clothes, they generally don't ask.

"Girl, are you going? It's very cheap, only 2 points."

"Look at me. I'm strong. If you sit inside our canopy, I guarantee you won't get wet. That's 2 points too."

2 points is the starting price, and 4 points is the maximum.

As long as they are in the base, they can't enter except Area A, so they will pull it no matter where they go.

Many people got on rickshaws, while those who didn't get any passengers continued to wait in the rain.

Ji He refused the rickshaw and walked quietly in the rain.

She saw people queuing in the rain at the counter to buy bean cakes. When she got the bean cakes, she quickly wrapped them in a plastic bag and put them in her arms.

I also saw a few bald guys arguing on the roadside.

They cursed at each other, but never fought.

Life is not easy, the pressure is high, and people become particularly irritable.

Thus, a profession emerged: the "scammer".

Similar to the previous type of scams with cars, these people now scam people. They bump into people while walking, and if the person loses his temper, they will continue to provoke him until he is beaten.

At this time, if the person who has been scammed does not want to be caught by the patrol team, he or she must pay points to keep the matter quiet.

In order to prevent people from becoming desperate and starving to death, everyone is given a certain transition period.

The base also offers a credit point purchase service, whereby 300 points can be purchased on credit. If you pay it off within a month, you don’t have to pay any more points.

Of course, if the base does not pay back the points owed to it, the base will not keep someone idle for nothing and will instead take that person away to work.

When the debt is paid off, the person will be sent back.

This job is not the kind that is recruited, but the kind that is very hard and no one wants to do it.

I heard that everyone who comes back from the job will be skinned alive.

Of course, those who owe money to the base and don't pay it back are all lazy people.

There are jobs posted at the base every day. Although the pay varies, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not starve to death.

For example, the base’s official ships are sent out for salvage work.

People are sent to salvage supplies in the water in the rain. No matter what they salvage, it all belongs to the base and they receive a fixed income every day.

One advantage of this job is that you don’t have to spend your points to rent a boat, nor do you have to worry about not being able to earn back the money for renting a boat.

But at the same time, with a fixed salary, I can say that I can survive without starving, but it is definitely impossible to eat something good.

Judge for yourself.

Anyway, the base has thought it through very clearly. Food is for people to eat, so it is better to make people work than to give it for free.

It was just in time to save some precious supplies.

At the same time, taking advantage of the abundant rainfall, the base expanded the scale of planting and breeding and recruited a group of people to work.

Prepare large and special varieties.

All of these require a large number of people to do the work, and ordinary people are given priority in hiring.

We also need to balance the relationship between ordinary people and gifted people. Gifted people have strong abilities, but if all gifted people are hired, ordinary people will have no income and there will definitely be riots.

Therefore, the authorities still encourage talented people to do the work themselves and leave these jobs to ordinary people.

Arriving at the gate of the base, Ji He pulled his raincoat closer, put his hands in his pockets, took out his ID, and walked out through the side door.

People like them who live in the base don’t have to queue up at the gate to enter and exit the base. They can just scan here and go out.
