Chapter 174 A701 Base
Bai Muran drove the SUV left by Gu Sinan and turned to Ye Xin and said, "The car performs well! I knew you have good things here."
Ye Xin didn't say anything, Bai Muran continued: "This is our first cooperation. If it goes well, there may be other cooperation in the future."
However, Ye Xin heard a different meaning in these words.
She turned to look at Bai Muran: "Oh? As the largest base in City A and City B, do you often cooperate with small bases?"
This did not exist in the previous life. All major bases defended themselves, not to mention cooperating with each other. They were all afraid that their technology would be learned by others, and they were also afraid that their bases would be coveted by others. How could they cooperate regularly?
Bai Muran grinned: "Not often, but sometimes the mission target is relatively large, and it is difficult for one base to handle it, so we will choose a reliable base to cooperate with."
“Although the Mid-Levels Base is not large, it is the best in terms of management and strength in the entire A City.”
Bai Muran gave Ye Xin a thumbs up and continued, "If this cooperation goes smoothly, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"However, the interior of the A701 base is also a mess right now. Whether or not they are willing to cooperate with us depends on what Lord Ye thinks."
Ye Xin did not comment.
After driving for more than an hour, the car arrived in front of a large iron gate. Through the iron bars, we could see people coming and going inside, who seemed to be building houses.
There was a small door on each side, with two soldiers with guns guarding each door and a man collecting entrance fees.
There were a lot of cars lined up outside the small door on the right, all of them were people waiting to enter the base.
Outside the small door on the left were lined up ordinary people with their families. They had come here on foot and were already ragged and exhausted.
But they didn't dare sit down to rest, so they had to follow the team step by step, hoping to enter their shelter in this doomsday as soon as possible.
A hundred meters away from the group of people, there were five or six soldiers patrolling with guns, clearing out all the approaching zombies.
Bai Muran drove the SUV into the large iron gate in the middle. There was a roadblock in front of the iron gate.
A soldier came over and saluted Bai Muran: "Please show your ID and pass."
Bai Muran took out a small notebook and a piece of paper and handed them over. The soldier took a look and nodded.
Then he looked at Ye Xin and her group: "Their ID."
Ye Xin took out the cooperation agreement and handed it over. After the soldier took a look at it, he pushed open the roadblock in front of the big iron gate, then opened the iron gate and let them in.
Ye Xin nodded, the guard was quite responsible.
On the left side of the entrance is a shantytown, with countless people coming and going, building shanties, and some making fires and cooking outside the shanties.
A young man came running over there, holding someone else's food in his hand, and stuffing it into his mouth as he ran forward. The food in his hand was too hot, so he ate while quickly moving his hands.
Exactly the same as the previous life!
In the previous life, Ye Xin and Xuanxuan lived here. These houses built with wood and thatch were drafty everywhere, not to mention keeping warm. They were often too cold to sleep at night.
Maybe we should light a fire inside to cook? But we were afraid that the sparks would ignite the low thatched grass.
Cooking outside the shed is also a problem. If you don't guard it well, it will be snatched away and eaten by hungry people.
Even if people who steal other people's food will be punished, it is better than starving to death, so this kind of thing will inevitably happen even if the base emphasizes it again and again.
Bai Muran saw Ye Xin staring at the man without blinking, and couldn't help but explain: "This kind of thing is strictly prohibited, and those caught will be punished, but it still can't be stopped. They are too hungry!"
Ye Xin nodded.
The car turned right, and in front of us were several rows of low buildings, the tallest of which was only six stories high. This was the wealthy area of the A701 base.
The houses here require monthly rent payments. The houses have electricity and water, but you need to exchange them for points. If you don’t have points, you can use food instead.
In the previous life, the rent of a house here cost 200 points a month, which would be 200 kilograms of food and 200 ordinary zombie crystal cores, not to mention the money for water and electricity.
Ordinary people simply can't afford to live there! Ye Xin in that life could only envy them.
Bai Muran pointed to the rows of small buildings and introduced: "This is a wealthy area. The rent, water and electricity alone are a considerable expense. Our dormitory is also here."
"The last two buildings are our dormitories. People with awakened abilities can get half of their rent waived."
Li Yanwu nodded and complained, "Half of it is still 100 points! We usually have to complete missions, and apart from wages, we basically don't have time to kill zombies and get crystal cores."
Meng Jinghan still turned his head to look at the shantytown behind him, his black eyes flashing with an unknown light, as if he was thinking about something.
Bai Muran parked the car in the large open space behind the building and pointed to several small villas not far away: "That's where the bigwigs in the military, politics and business live."
"The three-story building in front of them is the office area. All policies of the A701 base are issued from there, and we also directly obey the orders from there."
Bai Muran opened the car door for Ye Xin: "Let's go! As a partner, I'll take you to meet our captain."
"Yanwu, your guest room is in the second building, on the third floor. Go and rest first."
Li Yanwu took Meng Jinghan and Xuanxuan away, while Ye Xin followed Bai Muran towards the office building.
Only after entering the office area did I discover that this three-story building had rooms on both the sunny and shady sides, with about a dozen rooms on each floor.
The first floor was the military district's office. Bai Muran led her to turn left and stood at the door of the second room.
"report!"
A stern voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Bai Muran pushed open the door and made a "please" gesture to Ye Xin.
Sitting at the large desk was a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a square face and fair complexion, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through people.
He raised his head from the documents and smiled when he saw Ye Xin, revealing his big white teeth: "This is Ms. Ye Xin from the Mid-Levels Base, right?"
Ye Xin extended her hand: "Banshan Base, Ye Xin, nice to meet you."
The man reached out and held Ye Xin's hand, shaking it vigorously twice: "My name is Liu Mingfei, nice to meet you! I've heard Bai Muran talk about you before, but I didn't expect you to be so young when I saw you today!"
"sit!"
Ye Xin sat on the sofa. Liu Mingfei took out the tea leaves and the teapot. He pinched some tea leaves into the teapot, then took the kettle and poured water into it.
Ye Xin had sharp eyes. She had already noticed that there was only a small amount of tea in the bag. He had only pinched a little bit, but most of it had already gone down!
Liu Mingfei said with a smile: "Don't laugh at me, Miss Ye. I don't have anything good to offer you here. Even this little bit of tea was stolen from our old leader yesterday, hehe!"
"If he hadn't known that Miss Ye was coming, he wouldn't have been willing to give it to me."
Ye Xin smiled and said nothing.
Bai Muran frowned and said, "Captain, don't be so shabby. You'll make Lord Ye laugh."
Liu Mingfei didn't care. He handed Ye Xin a cup of tea that was almost like boiled water and said with a smile, "Come, have some tea. Let's talk about the situation on Gangtai Mountain, then I'll take you to dinner, and then let Bai Muran take you to visit our base."
As he spoke, he took out a huge map and pointed at it while introducing it.
"Gangtai Mountain is 578 meters high and runs northwest. It is connected to Cuiping Mountain in the northwest. If Cuiping Mountain is included, the area is several hundred kilometers. The place where we found the spirit fox is in this area..."
