The rental market is too chaotic, so Jiang Ning discussed with Huo Yishen, "How about trying our luck in the villa area?"

Yes, not only do the survivors from the bottom gather here, but many sharp-eyed wealthy people also flock here.

The villa area is three or four kilometers away from the beach, located on the mountain, relatively close to the pier and port. Walking along the coastal road, you can vaguely see European-style villas looming among the mountains and forests.

It was a quick drive to the destination. There was a security booth at the foot of the mountain with about fifteen or sixteen people, all armed and on patrol.

When they saw a car coming, they immediately became alert and gestured from a distance for it to stop.

They wore the same security uniform.

The leader was about thirty years old, his skin tanned by the scorching sun. "What do you do?"

Jiang Ning lowered the car window and asked, "Excuse me, is there a house for rent?"

My goodness, the smell of sweat almost drove me away.

The man covered his nose and stepped back. Seeing that the two men were not only dressed in rags but also drove a shabby car, he immediately said impatiently, "No, hurry up and leave. You can't afford to live here."

There were too many people who were trying to attract business before the natural disaster. Jiang Ning was not angry at all. He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over, "Brother, please help me."

When the man saw the cigarette, his eyes widened.

God knows, he hasn't smelled cigarettes for two years. You know, he used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, but now he can't even get enough to eat, let alone smoke a cigarette.

If you want something, you can only have it in your dreams.

He quickly put the cigarette into his pocket, fearing that if he was a little slow someone would find out and share it.

The man put on a smile and changed his tone 180 degrees, "No problem, the house is still available, but the rent is a bit expensive."

Rich people really know how to have fun. They disguise themselves for fear of being robbed. No wonder I was mistaken.

Take a closer look. Even though their clothes are dirty and their faces are pale, the flesh on their bodies can't deceive you.

Jiang Ning asked, "How much is the rent for the house?"

"This is full of villas, rented out by the unit, and almost all of them have been rented out by wealthy people. Now there are only a few units left near the top of the mountain."

The man's last name was Luo. He smiled and said, "Just call me Lao Luo."

He then introduced that there were hundreds of houses in the villa area. After the extreme cold ended, they were renovated and rented out one after another by wealthy people who moved to the seaside.

It’s very easy to rent, just meet the requirements.

There cannot be more than eight people staying in each villa, and all of them must register their ID cards. They are not allowed to bring outsiders in during the rental period, and their daily entry and exit must be supervised by security guards.

"There are more requirements, but they are all for the safety of tenants." Lao Luo explained: "It's quite safe here. There are patrols 24 hours a day, and we have strong connections. Ordinary refugees don't dare to break in. You don't have to worry about living here."

Jiang Ning expressed his understanding and asked with a smile, "What about the rent?"

"300 kilograms of food each month. No dried seafood or salt will be accepted."

300 kilograms of food? Jiang Ning took a deep breath. On the way here, he met a villager from the fishing village who was soliciting customers. The rent for a month was 8 kilograms of food.

However, this is a villa area, so it’s a different matter.

Jiang Ning looked at Huo Yishen, seeking his opinion with his eyes.

I brought two with me when I went out, and I came here to stock up, so safety is the most important thing.

Huo Yishen had no objection. The rent was indeed expensive, but Jiang Ning had space for planting, so it wasn't a big problem.

Jiang Ning was thoughtful, "What does the food include?"

"Rice, flour, oil, grain, tea, tobacco and alcohol are calculated separately. Cereals such as soybeans and mung beans are also fine. If potatoes and sweet potatoes are used, the amount will have to be increased accordingly."

“How much potatoes?”

"Double the amount of cold-resistant potatoes and 50% of the amount of ordinary potatoes."

Jiang Ning had no objection, "Can you take us to see the house first?"

Lao Luo had no problem with that. He returned to the security booth, rode on the patrol donkey, and slowly drove towards the villa area on the mountain.

Jiang Ning opened the car window and looked around and listened carefully.

Judging from the lineup of security guards and the little donkey, the security facilities in the villa area are relatively good. Many trees on the mountain were not frozen to death. The humid air has given them new life and they have grown green leaves.

The villas are built along the winding mountain road, with one every few dozen meters.

It is a two-and-a-half-story European-style building with many rooftops equipped with solar generators and all the balcony windows surrounded by stainless steel mesh.

It is close to the sea, the wind is relatively strong, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, there is plenty of water vapor, the drought situation is much alleviated than Fengcheng, and there are lush green trees all around.

The car was driving so slowly that Jiang Ning could even hear the sound of a diesel engine.

Some villas even have glass greenhouses, parasols, and beach chairs. Beautiful women with fair skin wear sunglasses and drink ice drinks to bathe in the morning sun.

If you don’t know, you might think this is a holiday paradise. Natural disasters and apocalypse are all nonsense!

When the car reached halfway up the mountain, Jiang Ning looked down and saw some children playing football on the rooftop.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh that even though they were in the same natural disaster mode, people's lives were still very different.

There are lush trees halfway up the mountain, so the heat is not that severe. All the villas have been rented out, leaving only three near the top of the mountain vacant.

Lao Luo parked the car and opened the gate of the villa, "Your car can drive in."

Lao Luo was not surprised to see a child walking out of the shabby car, but he was still shocked when he saw the majestic dog.

There are two or three households in the villa area that have pets, some with cats and some with dogs, but they are all small pets and don’t eat much.

What kind of conditions are needed to raise a dog so... fat and strong?

Lao Luo couldn't help but take a closer look, only to find that the dog's eyes were full of murderous intent. Looking at its posture as if it was ready to fight at any time, it felt like it could pounce on him and tear him to pieces at any moment.
