Chapter 264: Exchange of Supplies

After leaving, everyone went to the Imperial Capital Orphanage.

The Imperial Capital Orphanage is a bit far from the Imperial Capital's official base. The Imperial Capital's official base is located in the east, while the orphanage is in the southeast. It takes three hours to walk there. The Imperial Capital is indeed recovering, but there are no vehicles, so all transportation depends on legs.

Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo can do it, as they are young people and are not afraid of being a little tired, but the three teachers can no longer do it.

So Lu Xingtang decided to find a few people to help her send the child to the orphanage and settle him down. Some of the people who stayed behind would go to the Points Building to check out the situation and ask about accommodation. "We're not short of supplies. Just look at how much it would take to rent a house. We need a place to stay in the capital! It doesn't have to be good, but it has to accommodate all 34 of us! Once we're settled, we'll take Teacher Zhang's ashes to visit his home and let him rest in peace."

Ji Yanmo didn't want Lu Xingtang to make a difficult trip, so he found a few eloquent people to hold the child and take the child's clothes. He didn't dare to take the milk powder and milk powder bottles as it could cause an accident, but before leaving, he fed the child well.

After Ji Yanmo took his men away, Lu Xingtang led everyone to the points building. They already knew from the manual how many points could be exchanged for a house, but they had to go to the points building to exchange supplies.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Points Building. As it was getting late, there were not many people in the Points Building, especially in the housing area, where no one was available.

As soon as they arrived, the housing area became crowded.

When the staff saw Lu Xingtang and the others, their eyes lit up. She finally got a commission and could exchange her work points for supplies. She and her family would not starve to death.

"Hello, how can I help you? I am Wan Xiaoli, the property points redeemer." Wan Xiaoli said with a standard smile.

Lu Xingtang nodded and said, "We want to rent a house that can accommodate 34 people. We want to come and learn about the house first. I'm worried that there are no suitable houses available."

"A house for 34 people?" Wan Xiaoli's eyes widened. "You don't have 34 people here?"

Lu Xingtang said, "A few people went to the orphanage. We picked up a few children on the way to the Imperial Capital. We heard that the Imperial Capital Orphanage was adopting children, so we sent the children there. The children are too young to stay with us any longer, and they don't have proper food."

Wan Xiaoli understood and immediately introduced them to a suitable house.

"The capital has been rebuilt. Although it can't go back to the past, there are indeed houses that can accommodate 34 people. Houses with small units are definitely not habitable! But we now have large houses in the capital. These houses were originally planned to be renovated into kindergartens or converted into commercial buildings. Take a look at the floor plans..." The floor plans were drawn by hand, but the hand drew them very well, and they could clearly see the situation on the floor plans.

"It's just that there are too many people, so you'll need better beds and quilts! But you can definitely stay here! If you find the house a bit crowded, you can go to a more remote place. Especially here, there's a new elementary school built here, and the elementary school has dormitory buildings. Each dormitory can accommodate 12 people, so the 34 of you can be divided into three dormitories! There are no suitable houses closer here, they've all been sold out."

"We live in the elementary school dormitory building. Isn't that inappropriate?" Lu Xingtang looked at Wan Xiaoli speechlessly.

Wan Xiaoli slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory. The primary school is built, but no one lives nearby yet. It will probably take about half a year for people to live near the primary school and for the school to start recruiting teachers and students because there is construction going on nearby. How long do you want to rent it? Short-term or long-term?"

Lu Xingtang looked at Wan Xiaoli speechlessly, "Your business ability is a little lacking. We will rent it for a short period of about three months." After thinking for a while, "Do you have a map? I want to see how far it is from our base?" The farther away it is, the less likely the secret will be exposed.

After Wan Xiaoli apologized repeatedly, she took out the map. The group determined that the map was probably located in the former S area. If they walked from the base to S area, it would take about two days, which was quite far.

However, after reading it, several teachers agreed: "We need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and not waste so-called materials here! Although the materials we hand over will not be wasted and will be used for construction or for the people, we also need them!"

Everyone unanimously decided to live in the elementary school's dormitories, booking three dormitories: one for girls and two for boys. There were 34 of them, but the boys made up the majority, leaving only seven girls. It didn't matter if there wasn't enough space; they could sleep on the floor or squeeze in. In short, they didn't waste supplies if they could.

Lu Xingtang saw that the elementary school dormitory building required 80,000 points, then went to the counter where supplies could be exchanged for points. He took out his temporary residence permit and the ID card he had obtained at the Suihe border crossing and handed them to the staff, along with three nail guns. "I've looked at the supply list. Three nail guns can be exchanged for 210,000 points. Please exchange them for me."

The staff member was shocked when he saw the nail gun and quickly called his leader over. The leader asked calmly, "Are you sure you want to exchange all of it for points?"

"Sure and for sure!" Lu Xingtang paused and sighed, "If we hadn't been desperate, we wouldn't have exchanged for these three nail guns. Even though they're out of bullets, they've protected us for a long time!"

The leader looked at Lu Xingtang and others carefully and asked, "Do you know where the weapons such as guns will be sent after we collect them?" This was to tell Lu Xingtang where the supplies would go after they were exchanged, so that they would know that once the supplies were successfully exchanged, they would not be given a chance to regret. If it was ordinary daily necessities, they could be exchanged repeatedly because there would be people who wanted them.

"Where to send it?" Lu Xingtang was also quite curious.

"It's being sent to the military. So have you thought about it? Are you sure you want to exchange it?"

The military? Then they must deliver!

The leader asked the staff to apply for a points card for Lu Xingtang immediately, and the 210,000 points must be transferred to the points card.

Then he solemnly found a box and put the three nail guns in it: "Sorry, the guns must be sent to the military immediately. You can rest assured to use the points cards to exchange for other supplies." Then the leader ran away.

Lu Xingtang looked deeply at the direction where his leader left with the box, and felt relieved when he saw him hand the box to a soldier.

Soon, Lu Xingtang took the points card to the housing redemption office and rented the elementary school dormitory building for three months. He rented four rooms in total, so he didn't make a big difference with these few points.

After exchanging the property, signing the contract and getting the keys, the property exchange office also gave them some basic necessities, such as disinfectant, rags, brooms and mops.
