On the left and right sides of the hall are the two largest LED screens. The screen on the left displays all the information about today's material exchange.
The base is currently under construction, and there is a shortage of all kinds of supplies. Food and water are the most precious resources, and they can be exchanged for the most points.
Next are building materials, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and specialized equipment.
They accept all kinds of vehicles, electronic products, home appliances, scrap metal, etc., but the points you can get in return are relatively few.
Lin Xuan's space also contains some professional equipment and computers she acquired from the Agricultural University of D City, as well as a lot of building materials.
She decided to exchange all these items for points, hoping to buy a house in City A or something.
In their previous life, they lived in a dormitory provided by the hunting team. It was crowded and inconvenient to do anything.
If I have the means, I will at least rent a place and live alone.
The process for renting or buying a house takes place in the lobby on the second floor. You need to swipe your ID card to get a number on the first floor before you can go up.
The two haven't gotten their ID cards yet, and haven't been able to check rental or purchase information. They'll have to wait until they get their ID cards before considering anything else.
After leaving the comprehensive service building, Lin Xuan took Xia Feng to the nearby free trade market.
This is also an official trading market; most markets in City A are of this kind and are legitimate.
As the main urban area gradually expands outwards, black markets and similar trading venues will emerge on the outskirts of the city.
You can buy a lot of contraband there, such as guns and mutant plant medicines.
Light always accompanies darkness; these are inevitable occurrences in human society.
Even in City A, the largest and most strictly managed base in the country, many unjust incidents can still occur.
Some of the protagonists in these events succeeded in resisting through their own strength, and avenged their grudges on the spot.
Some endure the injustice silently, accepting their losses as bad luck.
Even worse, some murderers lose their lives but remain at large, living carefree lives.
Justice in this world had already slowly died out before the end of time, leaving only the contest of strength among the survivors.
It is now the early days of the apocalypse, and the trading market has only recently been established. The area behind this building used to be a small farmers' market, and it is now being rebuilt.
All vendors are now only allowed to set up stalls in the open space in front of the farmers' market.
There weren't many customers, but militiamen were still patrolling around maintaining order.
The two parked their car next to the market, where it used to be a parking lot, and the parking lines could still be faintly seen on the ground.
However, right now only their Jeep is parked in the parking lot; the rest are bicycles.
An old man saw their car stop and jogged over with a card reader in hand.
"0.5 points for every half hour of parking. Should I swipe my card or scan the QR code?"
Xia Feng looked at Lin Xuan with a blank expression. What was going on? Did they still charge for parking now?
Lin Xuan tossed a palm-sized bag of compressed biscuits to the old man without saying a word, then casually waved her hand, gesturing "Take it" to him before taking Xia Feng's hand and entering the market.
The old man took the biscuit and grinned, revealing two missing teeth.
This pack of biscuits would cost three to five points to exchange at the resource exchange point.
He only gets a 300ml bottle of water, a palm-sized pancake, and a small piece of mutated beast meat after watching the cars here all day.
This was the first time he'd ever been given food directly. The parking fee points didn't go into his pocket, but these cookies were something the old man could easily pocket.
If there were more people like this who would give things away directly, the old man's life would be a little easier.
The stalls displayed various pots and pans, tables and chairs, clothes and jewelry, bedding, small appliances, and even antiques.
Almost all daily necessities, except for food and water, can be found here.
The main service building is usually a place to exchange large quantities of goods, while these small free trade markets are convenient places for ordinary people to exchange small daily necessities.
The market is still small, and there aren't many items on the stalls, so Lin Xuan didn't have anything she wanted to exchange.
The main reason for bringing Xia Feng here this time is to show him around and familiarize him with City A.
The two strolled around the market but didn't see anything special. Lin Xuan had a lot of things in her spatial storage and looked down on these street vendor goods.
There aren't many good items to sell in the current free market, but many special items will appear later.
For example, flavored jerky made from mutated animals, armor, weapons, leather clothing, and various decorative mutated plants.
Some people with superpowers also come here to sell water, fruits and vegetables, snacks and other products.
She'll come over to join in the fun then.
After visiting the free trade market, Lin Xuan drove Xia Feng to various pre-apocalyptic attractions in City A for photo opportunities.
She and Xia Feng had never traveled together, so let's just say it was a romantic gesture she, the taciturn girlfriend, made for her boyfriend.
With this in mind, Lin Xuan took Xia Feng around City A.
The tourist attractions clearly show signs of severe damage and hasty restoration, and hardly anyone comes to these places anymore.
In this apocalyptic world, everyone is busy surviving, just like the two of them in their previous life.
This time it was really different. Lin Xuan was driving leisurely when she got lost.
In the end, Xia Feng, who remembered the way, drove the car back to the Zhou family villa.
Well! I wasted five years in City A during the apocalypse, and I'm not even as good as my older brother who came here for the first time.
I'm feeling withdrawn, so I'm turning on Do Not Disturb!
The two arrived at the Zhou family home around 3 p.m., entering the house shortly after Zhou Xinran.
In the living room, Zhou Lerui and Peng Ze were putting on makeup and eating snacks.
Upon seeing Lin Xuan return, Zhou Lerui immediately pulled her to join them and invited her to her room to try on her beautiful clothes.
The three children quickly moved to the fifth floor, to play in Zhou Lerui's luxurious princess room.
Xia Feng, left behind, stared at Lin Xuan's retreating figure as she went upstairs, his face full of resentment.
Mr. Zhou has already gone to work. Mrs. Zhou was forced to listen to adventure stories all night and didn't get up until midnight.
Seeing her little girl showing off her food, seemingly preparing for another big meal, she pretended to have a headache and went back to her room.
The little girl is so talkative. She has been away for two months and her fate is unknown. Zhou's mother is filled with the fear of losing her child and has temporarily forgotten the fear of being dominated by her talkative daughter.
Zhou Xinran spent the whole morning getting everyone home.
All three families live in City A. In Cao Zhiyong's family, his grandparents and elderly mother have all turned into zombies, leaving only his elderly father alive.
City A is now distributing basic survival supplies free of charge to people over 70 years old so that his elderly father can hold on until his son returns.
Although Cao Zhiyong's house was on the edge of the main city, it was fortunately included in the base area and was controlled and monitored by the military from the very beginning, so no major chaos occurred.
Zhou Xinran and two helpers sent by Brother Zhou took Cao Zhiyong to the comprehensive service building near his home to apply for an ID card.
With Zhou Xinyi's connections, they didn't need to queue at all and obtained their ID cards smoothly.
