Chapter 11 Shared Tenancy
Ye Xuan looked around again, and finally confirmed that this base was converted from a prison.
Although he was using an advanced communication bracelet, the base as a whole was so shabby, completely different from the cyber-tech base he had imagined when reading novels before.
Ye Xuan clicked on the bracelet, opened the map, entered the dormitory building, and three target locations appeared.
Wow, that Xie Yan is really something. He didn’t even tell him which dormitory building to report to.
The three dormitory buildings are located in different places and not close to each other. Ye Xuan guessed that it was because the training grounds were located in different places, so he checked different training grounds and clicked on the site models of different training grounds. Finally, he identified the most dilapidated training ground among the three training grounds, and then found the dormitory building closest to this training ground.
After setting the destination, Ye Xuan followed the navigation to the dormitory building.
There is a small red dot on the bracelet moving towards the small green dot. It seems that the small red dot is him and the small green dot is the dormitory building.
He saw a personnel query button next to it. After pressing it, a prompt popped up indicating that he had no authority.
It seems that after putting on the bracelet, the person on it can see their location at any time.
Ye Xuan planned to continue studying the functions of the bracelet after settling down. The most urgent thing was to report to the dormitory building first and then have a good meal.
He is now so hungry that his stomach keeps growling.
On the way to the dormitory building, Ye Xuan met many people, some of whom were wearing black combat uniforms, like the group of people he had seen in the canteen before, some were wearing protective clothing, and a very small number were wearing masks and different formal attire.
His sixth sense told him that those people in formal attire were the ones in power in this base.
Few people paid their attention to Ye Xuan, as everyone was walking around in a hurry.
Ye Xuan arrived at the dormitory building. Judging from the model on the map, it was already very dilapidated. Seeing it in person was even more shabby. The houses were hastily made of cement and were barely habitable. They were not even as good as containers.
There were bursts of noise coming from inside, and if you listened carefully you could hear a lot of uncivilized language.
The registrar sitting at the front desk was a very young guy, about the same age as Ye Xuan. He was very calm and seemed to be used to such things.
"I'm here to report." Ye Xuan said to the registrar.
The registrar pulled out a crumpled registration form and handed it to Ye Xuan, "Fill this out."
Ye Xuan took it and scanned the form from top to bottom. He had to fill in personal information and previous addresses, and there was nothing private about it.
My previous address has already been lost, so it doesn’t matter if I fill it in.
Ye Xuan filled out the form and returned it to the registrar.
The registrar checked on the computer and told Ye Xuan some unfortunate news: "Ye Xuan, right? Our spare dormitory has exceeded the quota and can no longer accommodate us."
"You now have two choices. One is to apply to share the room with a regular team member you know, or two is to give you a tent and let you temporarily camp in an open space at the base. We will arrange for you to move in when there is a vacancy. There are 23 people in line ahead of you."
"......" It will take a long time before he can be arranged to work there.
"Is there a third option? I will live in the family compound with my family members."
The registrar's expression became more serious. Since they were not official team members' family members but were able to live in the family compound, it seemed that they had connections up there.
"Well, theoretically, you can, but the family compound is far from the training ground. The base now only has supply trains, and no daily trains. That means it takes you an hour to ride to the training ground every day. The reserve team members have to train earlier than the regular team members, and they have to arrive at the training ground before 7 a.m., which means you have to get up before 5:30 a.m. or even earlier. Can you do it?"
When Ye Xuan heard that he had to get up at 5:30, he laughed angrily. Even cows and horses working in the office wouldn't get up so early.
"So I think it would be best for you to find someone you know to share the apartment with. I just looked at your registration form and found that you and a regular team member graduated from the same university. Try sending him a message using your bracelet. As long as you two have no grudges against each other, he should agree."
The person the registrar was talking about must be Xia Chenxi, right? Ye Xuan was very hesitant. He even slapped Xia Chenxi in the face in the convenience store. What if Xia Chenxi held a grudge and rejected him?
Seeing that Ye Xuan was slow to respond, the registrar became a little impatient. "If you are so hesitant, it is better to live in a tent. Unless you encounter extreme weather, there is generally no problem living in a tent."
The registrar pretended to fill in the column for Ye Xuan's accommodation with tent.
"Wait." Ye Xuan called the registrar, "Let me try to apply."
The registrar paused.
Ye Xuan gave him an awkward smile, "How should I apply to him?"
The registrar found the interface for adding friends on Ye Xuan's bracelet, entered Xia Chenxi's code 0019, and sent a friend request.
"After he passes through your friend list, you can just send him a roommate application."
Ye Xuan's heart beat faster. Xia Chenxi wouldn't even pass his good friend, right? After all, they had experienced a period of escaping from the dormitory together.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chenxi quickly passed his friend and sent him a text message.
Xia Chenxi: [How is your health? 】
Ye Xuan hasn't replied yet.
The registrar pressed the application for shared rental for him.
"Hey, you!" Ye Xuan's face flushed. Before he could say a word, this guy made the decision for him.
The registrar rolled his eyes and said, "I've been very patient with you. If you keep procrastinating like this, should I leave work?"
Ye Xuan held his breath and moved his gaze back to the screen.
Xia Chenxi on the other side of the screen paused for a moment and approved Ye Xuan's application for sharing the apartment.
Xia Chenxi: [Building 1, Room 511. 】
"Why didn't you send it to him earlier? It's a waste of your time and mine as well."
The registrar wrote down Ye Xuan’s dormitory: Building 1, Room 511 (shared).
"Report to training ground 3 at 7am tomorrow morning."
Ye Xuan didn't want to waste time talking and left. He heard the registrar behind him say sarcastically, "You are a member of the reserve team and you still have the nerve to put on airs. Be careful that you will be driven out to mine."
Ye Xuan clenched his fists.
The dormitory building for the regular team members is completely different from that for the reserve team members. The whole dormitory exudes a high-end cyber style. The main door is an explosion-proof glass door. After entering, the interior is covered with low-end marble tiles. The person sitting at the front desk is not a real person, but an intelligent robot.
"Person identification: Ye Xuan, member of the reserve team, dormitory number 511, please take the elevator on the right to go upstairs, start the elevator and swipe your wristband."
Ye Xuan walked to the elevator on the right and scanned the small white screen. The elevator automatically went up and reached the fifth floor.
The elevator door opened, Ye Xuan went out and walked to 511.
He took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened and Xia Chenxi appeared in front of him wearing an apron and holding a shovel.
"Come in."
