Chapter 21 New Member Joins
After Su Qing left, Fang Qing and the other two discussed and decided to rent an entire courtyard house so that it would be convenient to bring the children with them.
At present, they still have enough money. Before coming to the base, they still had several hundred new bonds. The three of them pooled their funds and planned to rent for two months before contracting a piece of land.
When I arrived at the mission center, I saw two more machines inside. I walked over and carefully checked the operating procedures. I found that this machine can even deposit and withdraw money. To handle any affairs, you need to swipe the gold card first, and the deductions will also be made from the gold card.
"This just integrates the previous ID card and bank card into one. It's really convenient." Wang Tianqi said while looking at the operating guide on the machine.
"That's right. This is really convenient, Sister Fang Qing. I really feel that Sister Su Qing is from an advanced civilization. She can come up with all kinds of high-tech." Li Xing also exclaimed in amazement.
"Why not a god? A god can also create anything." Wang Tianqi asked back.
Li Xing looked at her speechlessly and said, "Why are you so obsessed with immortals?"
"And why are you so obsessed with aliens?"
Fang Qing stood in front of the machine and ignored the two people's daily stupid behavior. She followed the instructions on the machine. Contracting the land was quite simple. She just had to choose the area she liked and pay the money. House rental required adding the information of all the occupants. She filled in the information one by one.
"Hey, this isn't right." Fang Qing looked at the deducted amount and found that half was less. She quickly clicked on the machine again to check the specific deduction information.
After searching for a long time, I finally found out that the children's accommodation was provided by the base and they didn't need to pay for it. The system halved the rental fee.
After everything was processed, a window opened at the bottom of the machine, and a contract and a bunch of keys were placed on the tray inside.
Looking back at the two children still quarreling, Fang Qing pulled one out with each hand, "You two feel uncomfortable if you don't quarrel every day, right? Stop it now and go take a look at our new house first!"
Several people came to the gate of the house. They chose the one on the left side of the front row. After opening the red wooden door, they saw a stone-carved hollow screen wall in front of them. Around the screen wall was a spacious courtyard.
Opening the door of the main house, there are some simple furniture in the main hall, including a Luohan bed, wooden tables and chairs. There are two single beds, a large wooden wardrobe and a desk in the bedroom on the left. Everything is in Chinese style. There is a washbasin, a toilet and a shower room in the bathroom on the right.
The furnishings of the two wing rooms are similar. The whole house is quite comprehensive except for the lack of a kitchen and household appliances.
Although it is very simple and plain, it is a thousand times better than the places they lived in before. It makes people feel warm and a sense of belonging. This is home, their future home.
"Sister Fang Qing, I always felt that I was very unlucky before, but now I suddenly realized that I have saved up all my luck and used it on the two choices of following you and coming to Sister Su Qing's base." Wang Tianqi looked at everything in front of him and inexplicably wanted to cry.
"I think I'm the same. I'm so lucky to have met Su Qing." Fang Qing stared at the things in the room and murmured.
......
Su Qing drove the tram, stopping and starting along the way, entering every house he passed by and taking away all the things he could. He did not stop until his backpack was full of room.
One year after the apocalypse, towns large and small have been searched countless times by the survivors, and everything that can be used has been taken away. She is now hundreds of kilometers away from the base. These towns abandoned by humans are so deserted that it is difficult to find any living creatures except zombies. The towns are overgrown with weeds and are dilapidated and desolate.
As Su Qing walked more, he discovered that the zombies in the abandoned towns began to become scarce, and the number of zombies walking on the roads increased. Since the zombies could not get fresh flesh and blood, they began to gather towards various bases.
"Each base is densely populated. I'm afraid it won't be long before a large number of zombies gather around." Su Qing sighed and said to the system.
"That's right. Small bases lack combat power and will most likely perish. Even large bases, despite their powerful armed forces, cannot withstand the sheer number of zombies. Humans and zombies will eventually face a decisive battle. It's either you or me. The two cannot coexist."
"So, host, you must hurry up and build the base to ensure the continuation of human society and bring the world back to normal."
"By the way, what exactly is your system? Why do you care about the development of other worlds?" Su Qing opened the car door and got in, ready to drive home.
"We are intelligent beings that exist in a higher dimension, responsible for maintaining the smooth development of various parallel worlds, thereby maintaining the stability of the entire universe."
"Then why not go back to the past and change history so that the zombie outbreak won't happen." Su Qing was a little confused. Novels often wrote about traveling back to the past to change the course of events. Isn't this easier than pulling her over to rebuild a new world?
"People can't travel back to the past. Simply put, the past is in the past, and the future is in the future. These are two different timelines. You can't jump from the timeline you're currently on to the past. We can only send people to the timeline we're currently on."
Oh...I seem to understand...but I also don't understand...
Su Qing drove the car with an expressionless face and remained silent for a long time.
She didn't want to admit that she didn't understand at all, so she decided to change the subject.
"System, how should I explain the construction at the base? After all, those things just appeared out of nowhere, and everyone will be surprised. I think I've run out of excuses."
"Why do you need to explain?"
“Because everyone will be curious.”
"It's very simple. There's no need to explain it. You'll naturally accept it after seeing it many times."
It's very simple, thank you so much.
…
In the next few days, Su Qing was busy searching for supplies. When the time agreed with the prince and his mother came, Su Qing drove to the Liehuo Base.
After paying the fee and getting the badge, Su Qing walked into the base and headed for Prince's house. When he was almost there, he saw from a distance that there were many people standing in front of his tent, and they were talking about something with Prince and his mother.
Su Qing walked forward and squeezed in with difficulty.
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, boss, you're here." The prince saw Su Qing walking over quickly.
He gave a wry smile and explained to Su Qing, "Boss, I'm really sorry. My mother said goodbye to a few close friends and accidentally revealed the benefits of your base. These people...these people also want to go with us. I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble. I will take care of it."
Want to go to her base? That's great, she's just worried about not being able to recruit anyone.
Su Qing smiled and said, "That's not a big deal. If you want to go, let's go together. My base is not a closed group. Since it's a base, the gate of the base is open to everyone."
The people around heard the conversation between the prince and Su Qing and gathered around.
"Little girl, is your base really like what Prince's mother said? You don't have to pay protection fees to the base every day, you can eat and clothe yourself without any oppression?"
"Little girl, we are all honest common people. We just want to find a stable place to live a good life. Do you think we can come with you?"
"In today's world, even the government can't control so many things. How can you make such a boast? Are you kidding us?"
"If that's the case, you'll know for yourself if you go and see for yourself. In our base, as long as everyone works hard, everyone can live a good life." Su Qing suddenly became serious at this point, and spoke in a cold tone, "But the base has one requirement, which is to not keep anyone with ill intentions. Don't take chances. Anyone with improper intentions will be discovered and expelled from the base."
"Those with talent can take on the base's quests for supplies and earn commissions. For those who can't leave, our base has fields where you can grow crops. You can take on planting missions or contract the land. The base will provide you with a variety of ways to make money to ensure your daily livelihood."
Everyone was moved by what Su Qing said.
"I'll go with you. Instead of being exploited in these bases, it's better to fight for my own success."
"I'm going too."
"I'm going too."
In the end, there were 17 people who followed Su Qing. Since Su Qing had not expected such a thing, he was completely unprepared. He had to go out again to find a van, fill it up with gas and drive back to the Liehuo Base to pick up people.
There were five people in Su Qing's car and her, and the rest were all squeezed into the van.
Two cars drove towards Su Qing's base.
"Boss, your friend is really capable. He is actually familiar with Boss Chen." The prince sat in the back seat and thought about the way the guards kept looking at him when he left the base just now.
"Hmm." Su Qing didn't say much.
The two cars sped along, occasionally being chased by zombies on the roadside, but they were quickly left behind, and soon arrived at the gate of the base.
Everyone got out of the car and looked at the thin fence and the useless wooden door. Then they saw that there were only a group of playing children in the base and few adults. They didn't know what to say for a moment.
Were they cheated? This is quite different from what they thought.
Fang Qing, who was playing with the children in the base, saw Su Qing standing at the door with a group of people and hurried over.
Su Qing pointed at Fang Qing and introduced her to the people behind her, "This is Fang Qing, the person in charge of all matters at the base. You can ask her if you have any questions."
"Sister Fang Qing, these people want to join our base. Please give them a brief introduction to our base."
"Okay, leave it to me. Everyone follow me."
Fang Qing invited everyone in and called Li Xing to join her. The two of them took the group around the base for a tour like a tour group.
"Sister, there are more people coming to our base." Xiaoxiao saw Su Qing, ran over, grabbed her clothes, and looked at the crowd curiously.
"Yes, there will be more and more people here in the future, and maybe other children will join us." Su Qing touched Xiaoxiao's head.
"Then Xiaoxiao, eat less in the future and leave food for others. Xiaoxiao doesn't want them to go hungry. I've been eating too much lately and I've gained weight." Xiaoxiao lowered her head and patted her protruding belly.
Su Qing was a little surprised at Xiaoxiao's understanding. She bent down, picked her up, and kissed her little face. "Our Xiaoxiao is not fat at all. You are especially cute like this. Xiaoxiao is in the growth period, so you must eat well. Don't worry, your sister will make sure everyone has enough food and no one will go hungry."
"Really? That's great. Xiaoxiao feels really uncomfortable when she's hungry, and I don't want others to feel the same way as she does."
"Of course it's true. I promise you that I will never let Xiaoxiao go hungry again."
"Ding, new member has joined, please check."
Su Qing heard the system prompt, put Xiaoxiao down and let her go play, then opened the base page, only to see that many more people appeared on the member list. Their general trust level was 30% to 40%. There was only one person named Zhang Ze, who was marked in red by the system, which was very eye-catching. His trust level was 7%.
This was the first time Su Qing had encountered such a situation. He didn't know whether this person still didn't trust the base or had some bad intentions.
"System, help me keep an eye on this person named Zhang Ze."
"Good host."
