Chapter 183 Housing Arrangements

When Wang Bin saw vehicles on the street, his eyes lit up. He found a secluded corner, summoned the Jinbei van, and invited everyone to get in.

Previously, they were worried that the restrictions on gasoline would attract attention if they drove, but now they don't have to worry when they see someone driving.

Fuzhou used to be an international metropolis. It was more than ten kilometers away from here to the southern part of the city controlled by the Jin family. It would take more than an hour to walk there. It would be a different story if there was a car.

Pedestrians around Wang Bin cast envious glances at his car. These days, anyone who can drive on the street must either have a powerful background or great strength; otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't dare to drive a car, because they would be robbed.

It is said that before the army withdrew, Fuzhou had more than 10 million people, but since the army withdrew, a large number of residents have been taken away, and now this metropolis has only more than 2 million people.

Even with a population of only two million, it is still quite rare in the apocalypse.

The metropolis appears somewhat deserted due to the drastic population decline; the once bustling streets now see only a dozen or so people walking around.

There are advantages to having fewer people, namely, less traffic congestion.

Not long after, Wang Bin drove to the border of the southern part of the city. There was a bunker on the main road leading into the southern part of the city, and a group of Jin family men with guns were guarding it. Anyone who wanted to enter the southern part of the city had to register. Of course, if you lived in the area, you could enter directly without registering.

When the Jin family members on guard saw Wang Bin drive over, their eyes widened in shock, and someone immediately came up to question them.

These days, anyone who can drive a car is a big shot, someone worth currying favor with.

"Hey, brothers, you look unfamiliar. What brings you to the south of our city?" A squad leader approached with two of his men and asked.

"Looking for a place to stay, any good recommendations?" Wang Bin said, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handing out three cigarettes.

"These are still cigarettes with handles, that's good stuff, thanks! You've come to the right place if you're looking for housing. What kind of house are you looking for? I can recommend one to you." The squad leader and his two henchmen behind him smiled as they accepted the cigarettes from Wang Bin, their attitude becoming even more enthusiastic.

"Could you introduce us to everyone? There are quite a few of us, and we'd like to stay together," Wang Bin said with a smile, pointing to the people in the car.

"No problem. Our housing in the south of the city is divided into three levels: high-end, mid-range, and low-end. I can tell you that you're not a simple person, so I won't go into the low-end section. The mid-range section is usually in a nice neighborhood, and the price is 100-500 magic cores per building. As you know, the population has decreased significantly, and many houses are now vacant, so we sell entire buildings."

"The high-end housing consists of former villa communities, priced between 500 and 1000 magic cores. Not only is the environment beautiful, but we also have security guards. Brother, what kind of apartment are you planning to live in?"

"Could you take us to see a mid-range residential building? Preferably a detached house in a relatively quiet environment. Price is not a problem!" Wang Bin said with a smile, handing the remaining half pack of cigarettes to the squad leader.

"No problem, Lao Mao, you get in their car and take them to see the houses in Jiuhu Bay!" The squad leader was very happy to accept Wang Bin's cigarette and immediately had one of his underlings take Wang Bin to see the houses.

"Yes, boss!" the young man named Old Cat replied and got into the car.

Led by Lao Mao's enthusiastic guidance, Wang Bin drove quickly toward Jiuhu Bay.

Based on the ordinary magic cores in Wang Bin's system backpack, he was fully capable of living in a villa community. However, when he heard that there would be security guards, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​living in a villa community.

Villa communities may seem safe, but the presence of security guards means their movements are being monitored, which is a problem for Wang Bin, who has many secrets. Therefore, choosing a mid-range community that offers more freedom is a better option.

In the car, Wang Bin offered Lao Mao another cigarette, which made Lao Mao extremely happy. Wang Bin also learned a lot of information in the car.

The car soon stopped at the Jiuhuwan residential area. Because there is a lake behind it, the environment is very beautiful, and the houses in the area are very expensive, so ordinary people can't afford to live there.

Although the Jin family classifies this place as a mid-range residence, its prices are the highest among mid-range residences.

Old Cat led Wang Bin and his group around the neighborhood and quickly selected a seven-story building located at the innermost part of the complex.

This area is located at the very back, with very few pedestrians. In addition, it is right next to the lake, making it not only safe but also with a more beautiful environment.

"This one isn't cheap; it costs 500 magic cores, and you can't go for less than that!" Old Cat explained.

“No problem, this is the one.” Wang Bin said with a smile.

"Great! You can move in first, one of you just needs to help me with the formalities!" Old Cat said.

“Okay, Dazhu, you come with me. Uncle Li, you take everyone inside and tidy up the house first,” Wang Bin said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take care of things here, so you can go without worry!" Uncle Li replied with a smile.

Wang Bin agreed and got back into the car to take Li Dazhu and Lao Mao to complete the formalities.

Guided by the old cat, the car quickly arrived at the foot of a building where there were many pedestrians coming and going.

"This is our office in the South City District. The two buildings next to it are the building's trading area. If you have anything you'd like to trade, you can go in and take a look."

"Okay, I understand, thank you!"

There weren't many people in the office hall, and it was soon Wang Bin's turn.

Led by Lao Mao, Wang Bin and Li Dazhu sat down in front of a counter.

"Xiao Mei, these two gentlemen are here to register their housing. They plan to live in Unit 3, Building 10, Jiuhu Bay. By the way, they were introduced by Brother Jiu. Please help us register them!" Old Cat said with a smile.

Hearing Lao Mao say that, it seemed that they did get a commission. Wang Bin smiled and said that this system hadn't changed anywhere. However, he didn't care. How much Lao Jiu could earn was his own business. He just needed to pay according to the rules.

"Okay!" Xiaomei replied with a smile and began processing the housing procedures for Wang Bin.

In no time, Xiao Mei helped Wang Bin complete the formalities and gave them a sign that read: "Private Property, Do Not Trespass, Jin Family!"

"Take this sign back and hang it on your door. If anyone dares to break into your home, you can shoot them dead. Of course, if you see a house like this, don't break in without the owner's permission!" Xiaomei reminded them after completing the formalities.

"Thank you!" Wang Bin said, took the sign, and left.

After leaving the administration hall, Old Cat pointed to two buildings next to him and said, "These two buildings are where transactions take place. If you're interested, you can go inside and take a look. I'll be going now!"

"Okay, goodbye!"

Wang Bin thanked Lao Mao and waited until the other party was far away before leading Li Dazhu toward a nearby building.
