Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Activating Security Functions
"That's the general overview of the base! You can apply for a gold card and top it up at the general affairs machine in the mission center or at the machine in the restaurant. You'll need to pay by card for all business and expenses within the base."
"That's it for now. If you have any questions, please ask me individually. You can now familiarize yourself with the environment."
After Fang Qing took everyone around the base, they stopped at the entrance of the mission center.
Liu Yun and his mother followed Fang Qing in the crowd. After listening to the introduction of the base, the two discussed it and decided that they didn't have much money at the moment, so they planned to rent a room with a few acquaintances, and then take on planting tasks to earn some living expenses.
The prince walked into the mission center, applied for a gold card to rent a house, and then received a mission.
Just after receiving the planting task, he found that the page had suddenly been updated and several more tasks appeared on it.
1. Long-term tasks: Search for various building materials; Search for all kinds of materials including broken and rotten resources; Submit the above to the base, and the base will reward different amounts according to the specific quantity and value.
2. Recruitment Information: The base is currently recruiting two teachers to be responsible for early childhood education, with a monthly salary of 300 new coupons;
3. The base will form a team to be responsible for daily security patrols and other tasks at the base. Candidates with military or police backgrounds will be given priority, as will those with experience in this type of work at other bases. The monthly salary will be 300 new banknotes.
"Mom, come and see, the base is recruiting teachers."
Liu Yunben was looking at the things for sale in the display cabinet. When she heard her son calling her, she quickly walked over to look at the recruitment information on the machine.
"That's great! Three hundred new coupons a month. Sign me up now."
The prince registered his mother on the machine, and then the mother and son walked out of the mission center to find Su Qing.
"boss!"
Su Qing had just issued some new tasks and was explaining them to Fang Qing and Li Xing when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was the prince and his mother.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Boss, I just saw the job posting from the base. My mother used to be a senior teacher at a key middle school. I wonder if she can apply for our position."
"Yes, Miss Su, I have a bachelor's degree from a normal university and have been teaching for over 30 years. I'm a municipal outstanding teacher and have taught key classes for many years."
Su Qing looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Of course, but those children are a little young, so I'm afraid it will be unfair to you."
Liu Yun waved his hands excitedly, "I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged. I don't have any other skills that can't do anything. Since the end of the world, everyone has relied on my prince to work hard to earn money to support the two of us. I am already very satisfied to be able to continue teaching and educating people in the current environment and realize my self-worth."
"Well, the teaching location isn't ready yet. You'll take over in a few days once everything is ready. The base isn't very well funded right now. We only have 300 new coupons per month, but we'll gradually increase that."
"And me! Boss, I want to join the team we're forming at the base."
"Just call me Su Qing. Of course you can join if you want. I've given Li Xing the responsibility of forming our base team to be in charge of registering and arranging personnel. Since he's young, please help me out a bit. The base is short of people right now, so anyone with the ability has the opportunity to take on management duties. Work hard."
…
After learning about the base in detail, the newcomers were quite moved. The base looked very simple from the outside, but the inside surprised them. The restaurant was actually equipped with high-tech vending machines, which offered a wide variety of dishes, including vegetables, fruits, fish and meat, and the prices were so low that it made people want to cry.
This is totally unimaginable outside. Even the top staff of each base cannot guarantee that these things will be available at every meal. Now they provide them at every meal, and the price... is much cheaper than before the apocalypse.
And this house is actually an antique courtyard house. The rooms are fully furnished, and most importantly, there is water and electricity for unlimited use. They even have a hard time getting enough food and clothing every day, and have no ability to keep themselves clean and tidy. God knows how long it has been since they had a good bath.
From hell to heaven in an instant, everyone seemed to be dreaming, and they all felt that coming here was the best decision they had ever made.
However, there was one person who was not in the mood to think about these things.
Zhang Ze saw that most of those people had already registered and were looking for their own rental houses. There were not many people outside at the moment. He looked around, then took out a small camera from his pocket and carefully took pictures everywhere in the base, especially the mission center and the restaurant. He took many pictures of the display cabinets.
He was a person sent by the Liehuo Base to investigate. Su Qing had previously made quite a stir by selling vegetables in their base. The leader of the base wanted to know where Su Qing got the vegetables, so he specially sent someone to keep an eye on her in the base. When Su Qing was about to take the prince and his son to her base, their leader asked him to follow as an undercover agent.
They had come here before to search for supplies, but had never seen any base, and they didn't know when this base appeared.
More importantly, the food sold in the restaurant in this base was a little unbelievable to him.
At this time, he was standing in front of the display cabinet in the restaurant, looking at the more than 20 dishes and several kinds of fruits displayed inside. Fish and meat were nothing special and could be obtained with a little skill.
The unlimited supply of various vegetables and fruits really surprised him, but if he looked around the whole of China, he was afraid that no base could provide so many varieties of fruits and vegetables, and the prices were almost free compared to the market price.
He looked at the bright red strawberries, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help it. He swiped his card and spent 30 new coupons to buy one.
The machine's operating port was opened, and on the tray inside was a small plate with 3 strawberries on it.
Zhang Ze picked up one while thinking with a painful feeling, "It's so damn expensive." A rich fruity aroma lingered in his nose. He took a small bite and the sweet taste spread in his mouth.
It’s so damn delicious!
He hadn't eaten any fruit since the end of the world, and he had almost forgotten the taste of strawberries. Now that he had tasted one, it was so delicious that he wanted to drool. He felt that the taste was incomparable to the strawberries sold in the market before the end of the world.
If he bought these things and sold them outside, wouldn't he be rich? After carefully studying the vending machine, he found that it said "Base Exclusive, No Sale to Outsiders". He was a little confused. As long as he took them out carefully and secretly, and there was no one to search him at the door, who would not notice?
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, and decided to take more food with him when he left. After eating one, he put the rest in his pocket, intending to eat it later. Then Zhang Ze left the restaurant and walked towards the residential area.
Zhang Ze saw that the gate of a house was not closed and heard various excited shouts coming from the yard, so he walked in.
"Hello, excuse me."
"What's the matter?" A man walked out of the west wing with a smile on his face.
"Hello, I came in because I saw the door was open. I wanted to see what it looks like inside. I'm now struggling with whether it's better to share a house with someone or rent one on my own." Zhang Ze said with a distressed look.
"Hey, brother, come on, come in and take a look. You won't be troubled after you've seen it." The man patted Zhang Ze's shoulder and pulled him into the house.
A spacious and bright one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, fully equipped with Chinese-style furniture, as well as water and electricity.
After seeing it, Zhang Ze felt really envious. He secretly took a few photos while the family was not paying attention, and then he said goodbye and left.
He suddenly didn't want to go back to the Fiery Base anymore. He wanted to stay. This was fucking heaven. Why was he working so hard as a spy? Wouldn't it be better to just stay here?
This base has so many ways to make money, which is enough for daily life. Why should he go back to his original place and live there?
…
Su Qing saw that nothing was wrong, so she left the base and returned to her own house. When she was studying what could be built, the system suddenly issued a prompt.
"Congratulations, host. The dangerous personnel have been released from surveillance."
She opened the base and looked at the member list. The name of the key figure Zhang Ze, which was originally in red, now had returned to normal color, and his trustworthiness had suddenly increased to 40%.
She was really curious about what this person did and what made him gain such high trust all of a sudden.
"Congratulations, host! You've activated the base security function and are rewarded with 10,000 gold coins. The system will automatically deduct this amount, leaving a remaining balance of 13,300 gold coins. Attention! There are only five days left until the deadline. Please pay your outstanding balance as soon as possible."
There were only five days left!!! It seemed like she hadn't earned any gold coins in ages, so 13,000 or so wasn't a small amount. She wondered when the cooperation Lu Chen had mentioned would actually begin. If there was no other way, she could only borrow the money Lu Chen had left behind to pay off the debt, and then she would find a way to make up for it.
Su Qing put the matter of repaying the money aside for the time being and checked the newly added security function. This function was on the base page. After opening it, there were surveillance installations, external danger warnings, and robot police.
She just needs this function now. With more people in the base, there will be more things to do. After all, people's hearts are uncontrollable. What if someone has some inappropriate thoughts? Her base is currently understaffed and imperfect in all aspects, so it is difficult to control accidents.
The current level of the base allows for the free installation of 6 surveillance cameras and the deployment of a robot police officer, but the danger warning system requires the purchase of gold coins, which she decisively gave up.
Surveillance cameras were installed in every corner outside the base, and then robot police were deployed. She studied the robot, which would patrol the base 24 hours a day and be equipped with electric shock and weapons. Anyone who violated the base regulations and did not heed warnings would be directly suppressed by force.
This is a gem! If she had a few more, she wouldn't even need a security team; she could just rely on robots.
It seems that she needs to work hard and try to get a platoon of it first.
She then built three more courtyards on the base, and then a building called the Multi-Purpose Activity Center.
This was the one she carefully selected. It was economical and had many rooms, which could be used for many things.
This building is also in antique style, with blue bricks, black tiles and white walls, which has a strong Jiangnan charm. It has two floors with three rooms on each floor. She plans to use one floor for children to attend classes, and the rest can be used as a gym, communication room, conference room, etc. It can be converted into whatever is needed.
