Chapter 87 Settling down first
"Doesn't your base commander care?" Ye Jin said, "When the base was first built, shouldn't there be soldiers leading the people to do things?"
Since the Xicheng base was selected by the country a long time ago, there should be troops stationed there.
"How did you know there were troops?" The guide was a little surprised, then immediately said indignantly, "There were some before, but they gradually disappeared. They were all naturalized."
"What's the meaning?"
"Listen carefully, I'll tell you everything." The man led Ye Jin and the others towards the inner city, saying as they walked, "When our base was first built, it was pretty good. The army was in charge, and they led us ordinary people to build the city walls, while they took guns to clear out the zombies."
Shen Yuting nodded: "Isn't this good?"
"Yeah, but who knew that the zombies would become more and more powerful. Many upgraded zombies appeared and became invulnerable to weapons. The army lost its advantage. And the rise of superpowers caused the army to lose its say. The lives of ordinary people like us became worse and worse."
"What's the name of your base commander? Where does he come from?" Ye Jin asked the most important question. It seemed that the management rights of the West City Base had been divided, just like the South Base in the previous life.
Upon hearing this, the guide looked around and said in a low voice, "I only know that the commander of the West City base, whose surname is Liu, is a very high-level psychic. Currently, there is no one in the base more powerful than him."
"Oh? How high?" Ye Jin asked. The highest level person she had seen so far was Gu Jingzheng.
"I don't know about that." The guide lowered his voice, but it was spoken with gritted teeth. "Chief Liu is extremely cruel. After he came to power, he forced us ordinary people out of my house with guns. He is close to people with special abilities and treats ordinary people as if they are not human. Don't ask about him in public if you don't have anything to do."
That's a difficult situation, she just happens to be busy.
"Is there anyone named Ye among the senior management of your base?"
The man thought for a while and said, "I've never heard of anyone with the last name Ye."
Ye Jinxin felt like he had hit rock bottom.
She took out several more loaves of bread from Zhang Zhang's bag and handed them to him, saying, "I want you to tell us everything you know. Don't tell anyone else about this. I need you to help us get more information. You will be rewarded later."
"Okay, okay." The guide took the things and said happily, "Whatever you want to know, I'll help you find out."
Ye Jin said, "Take us to find a place to rent first."
After listening to everything along the way, Ye Jin had a general understanding. The West City Base was divided into the outer city and the inner city, as well as the refugee camp. The two old men that Zhang Zhang had asked to queue up were both from the refugee camp. They had no food or nuclear crystals to enter the base, so they could only sleep outside the city and could not even enter the city gate.
The outer city is the entrance to the base, where ordinary people live. Ye Jin said that these ordinary people live worse than the refugees in the southern base.
The inner city is where people with special abilities and mutants can live. The base management, the base director surnamed Liu, lives in the most central, safest and most prosperous villa area.
After understanding the general situation and route, Ye Jin asked the man to take her to the house rental office, and then asked him to go back and help her inquire about the news.
…
Yu Zichen and Ye Jin, brother and sister, were both sitting on the reception chairs in the rental office.
"Sister, is this person reliable?"
“Not reliable.”
Yu Zichen frowned after hearing what Ye Jin said.
But then Ye Jin continued, "But the biggest advantage of people like them is that they have so many people from all walks of life that they can always find out something. Besides, he doesn't know where he lives, so I can just go to him to get information myself."
"Sister, I'm a little uneasy. The situation here is far from what I imagined." Yu Zichen said with a worried look on his face, "Do you think something will happen to my uncle and brother?"
Ye Jin didn't answer. After a moment of calming down, he said, "We must first find a way to get closer to that Liu's base to find out what's going on. It's already evening, and I'll go to the mission center tomorrow when it opens."
"Why go to the mission center?"
Ye Jin: "Publish the task and find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Yu Zichen frowned. It seemed that it was not appropriate to look for someone openly in their situation.
Ye Jin looked at his brother's deep expression, patted his head, and said, "Okay, don't worry so much, I have my own way. Besides, I promised to find Xiaoting's family."
As soon as Ye Jin finished speaking, Shen Yuting came over with Zhang Yue.
Shen Yuting said, "Boss, we've found a house, and Zhang Zhang has gone to pay the money and sign the contract."
Ye Jin nodded. Now she handed over all external affairs to Zhang Zhang. She had to do things in secret, so it was just right for Zhang Zhang to stand in front of her.
The trip was not as smooth as they had imagined, so they could only rent a house for a month.
The house Zhang Zhang chose was a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in the inner city. It was big enough for Xiaoyue to sleep with Shen Yuting, and Ye Jin didn't like being disturbed by others.
What Ye Jin liked most about this house was that from the room she chose, she could see the center of the villa area of the West City base director.
"Alas! Such a shabby house is actually so expensive. It's outrageous." Zhang Zhang grumbled as he wiped the tables and chairs. "It hurts just thinking about it. It's not even one-tenth as comfortable as our villa in the southern base. It costs a hundred kilograms of rice a month!"
"Alright! Stop complaining, brother. It's different outside than at home." Zhang Yue urged, "I'm sleepy. Hurry up and clean up!"
"I know! I know! Why is there so much dust?" Zhang Zhang knew that the person who recommended it to him before said that the house was too big and most people couldn't afford to live in it. No one had lived in it for a long time, so it would be dirty, but he didn't expect it to be so dirty.
"Okay, just make do with it for today. Make your bed and get some sleep. We'll do it tomorrow."
"Okay, boss!" The boss had spoken, so Zhang Zhang put down the rag and went to make the bed. He was so tired recently, rushing on the road every day, and he hadn't experienced the joy of sleeping for a long time.
Ye Jin entered the room, closed the door, and without paying any attention to the situation outside, he went straight into the space.
She had been in the RV for the previous month and had never entered the space for fear of exposing it. This time, the first thing she did when she came in was to take a few deep breaths of the air in the space.
She walked around in the space a few times. The space was fine, still the same as before, except that the tree next to the spiritual spring seemed to have grown taller, and looked green and lush.
Ye Jin collapsed into the small room and fell asleep immediately. She had been traveling these days and had to stay on duty the most every night. Zhang Zhang had to be energetic because he had to drive during the day. Xiaochen was of a good age, and she was afraid that he would not develop well if he stayed up too late. She was really tired.
The next morning at a certain time, Ye Jin took the information about Shen Yuting's family to the mission center of the West City base.
After Shen Yuting really did it, he was almost moved to death. He kept thinking in his heart that she was such a good goddess.
But Ye Jin’s main focus was not this. She stepped into the West City Base Mission Center.
As soon as she entered the mission hall, there were quite a lot of people inside. The mission hall looked the same as the one in the southern base before she left, and was divided into several areas.
There are bases where you can complete tasks and get bounties, there are private tasks, and there are places to post tasks. The amount of the bounty is listed after the task. The top few tasks are the most dangerous. There are also tasks that require you to find someone, but the rewards are not much.
