Jiang Ning was quick-witted and the little donkey sped away.

Huo Yishen raised the crossbow in his hand and fired without hesitation, only to hear screams coming from the ruins.

Didn't stop, just kept going.

The closer we got to the municipal center, the more people came and the work hall was packed.

The contractors probably didn't dare to cut corners, so the municipal center was able to survive the earthquake. However, it no longer has the glory and majesty of the past. The cracked ground, mottled high walls, and cracked buildings...

The work hall was crowded with many survivors, all of whom came for the new city project.

Even if it is the end of the world due to natural disasters, the idea is deeply rooted that only a house can mean a home.

If conditions permit, some people would like to find opportunities to buy an apartment; if conditions do not permit, some people would like to accumulate points to exchange for supplies.

The bulletin board was filled with dozens of pages of paper, all of which were lists of various materials to be exchanged for points.

There is also a precious electronic display screen in the hall, which scrolls and displays the same content.

It took them half an hour to finish reading the relevant content, and then they looked at each other, feeling unhappy.

The complete steel bars are indeed expensive, but the completed house is even more expensive.

A two-bedroom apartment requires 5,000 points, while a villa requires points.

By the way, it can’t be called a villa anymore. It is a two-story independent courtyard, and the two bedrooms are real two bedrooms, without a living room and bathroom, and it is only about 15 square meters.

What does this mean? It’s not that the authorities are unscrupulous, but that resources are too scarce, so they can only raise the threshold to satisfy some survivors.

It’s understandable that there’s no living room, but no toilet… uh huh!

Jiang Ning pulled Huo Yishen, hoping that he could give some scientific advice.

Huo Yishen lowered his voice and said, "In the end times, there is a lack of various building materials. Without waterproof coatings, it is impossible to build toilets. Once a leak occurs, it will damage the quality of the house."

The steel bars have been frozen in extreme cold and the material is affected to some extent. The floors cannot be built too high, five or six floors are already the limit.

By then, public baths and toilets will be built to solve the problem of the cycle of crops.

Jiang Ning was shocked. Doesn't that mean he has to run out to the toilet in the middle of the night? Or he can just put a poop and urine bucket at home.

Remembering the key points, Huo Yishen pulled her away from the crowd and found a quiet place. "The villa requires points and 2,000 kilograms of food, but it has a yard and a toilet."

He calculated that if he took out all the steel bars and tiles that the two of them had previously stockpiled, plus 2,500 kilograms of grain, he could buy a villa and a two-bedroom apartment.

"Why do you need so many points?" Jiang Ning frowned, "Was the house this expensive in my previous life?"

Of course not, at least one zero has to be erased.

Huo Yishen didn't understand at first, but he soon figured it out. "In the last life, few people survived the earthquake, but this time the authorities issued an early warning, so most people survived. This means that resources are even scarcer and the competition for survival is even more intense."

"You mean, the government intends to increase the points for buying a house in exchange for more resources to allow those at the bottom to survive."

So many people survive, but almost all of them cannot afford to buy a house, so the government can only raise housing prices and cut the leeks of the middle and upper classes.

To put it simply, it means taking money from one pocket to pay for another.

Jiang Ning counted the building materials in the space and shook his head, saying, "We can't donate all of our materials. We'll have to renovate the villa when it's ready."

In addition, it is very nice to be neighbors with rich people, but when the environment becomes extremely bad, the villa area is also unsafe.

For example, during the polar night, the cost of committing a crime is very low.

What if the villa falls? Where can we retreat to?

Even if I had an extra two-bedroom apartment, I wouldn't be able to make ends meet with Doudou, the dog, and the rabbits.

Therefore, not only a villa is needed, but at least two two-bedroom apartments are required.

But in this case, the stockpiled building materials will not be enough.

Precious materials are not used, steel bars are more valuable, tiles can be exchanged for few points, and as for glass... it has to be kept for decorating villas to prevent acid rain.

Jiang Ning had a new idea. "We can stock up on other building materials with relatively high points and try to buy another two-bedroom apartment."

"Sand and wood?"

"These two things are in the greatest demand." Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Next to Aoyuan is Fengcheng River. As long as you are willing to dig, there will be no shortage of sand."

If you want wood, you can go deep into the mountains.

For others, these two things are actually not difficult, but the difficult part is how to solve the transportation problem.

But Jiang Ning has a spatial cheat, so if he wants wood, he just needs to go into the mountains.

It was still quite early when they left the Civic Center. Jiang Ning didn't want to go back and lie down, "How about taking a walk?"

It was dangerous everywhere, and the two had no friends in Fengcheng. Huo Yishen suggested, "Go visit Grandma Zhong?"

Jiang Ning had no objection, "Okay."

All members of the Zhong family survived the extreme cold, but I wonder if they survived the super strong earthquake?

It’s not too far away, you can get there by riding a donkey.

There were ruins everywhere, which made people feel extremely depressed, especially when they saw the collapse of the staff housing building of the research institute.

The building where Grandma Zhong lived collapsed.

Jiang Ning stood in front of the ruins, feeling a little dazed.

A woman who was scavenging not far away looked up and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he said after a while: "I'll go find Zhong Ping's family."

"Zhong Ping and the others..."

The woman thought for a long time before pointing to the distance and saying, "It seems to be over there."

Two or three hundred meters away, there were densely packed tents, wooden houses and the like.

Only one building of the research institute collapsed, but the research work must continue, so the family members can only feel sorry for it.

Jiang Ning asked, "Is their family okay?"

The woman sighed deeply, "My son is in the same group as Zhong Ping's father. I heard him mention it a while ago. The old lady seemed to have been injured in the earthquake. She's not doing well."

After expressing their gratitude, the two went to the temporary shantytown.
