Chapter 196 Li Shengnan is not here
"By the way, I wonder where Li Shengnan and the others live. Can we find out here?" Yang Qing suddenly thought of it.
"Go and ask." Leng Yi nodded and looked for the clerk again.
The clerk saw them coming over again and said with a smile, "What else do you want?"
"I want to ask, several of our friends have also entered the base. Can you help me find out where they live?" Leng Yi said.
"Sure, what's your name?" the clerk nodded.
"One is called Li Shengnan and the other is called Gao Yang." Leng Yi said.
The clerk searched the computer for a long time but couldn't find the person. "No, these two people are not in the computer."
"No way?" Yang Qing was shocked. "What about Wang Min and Jiang Hao?"
The clerk checked again and shook his head, "Still no. Are you sure they entered our base? When did they enter?"
"This... I'm not sure, but they said they would come a few months ago." Yang Qing said.
The clerk still shook his head. "Indeed, no. Although our computers are not connected to the internet, all information is shared. If they can't be found here, it means they haven't entered the base. Even if they have been here and left, there will be archived information."
"Well...never mind, thank you!" Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi with some melancholy, "Why didn't Shengnan and the others come?"
"Did something happen on the road?" Leng Yi shook his head. He couldn't guess.
"How could that be? They were carrying guns, how could they have been robbed?" Yang Qing said with a worried look on his face. "If we had known they weren't there, there would have been no need for us to come in."
"Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. The points card has been used. Let's stay here first and talk about other things later." Leng Yi held Yang Qing's hand. He knew that she had a good relationship with Li Shengnan and Wang Min, so it was normal for her to worry.
But there’s nothing I can do now that he’s not here.
Yang Qing nodded. This was the only way.
A few people returned to the parking lot, drove the RV and pickup truck, and drove to the villa area according to the map given.
The villa area is in the back mountain, scattered everywhere. There are trees in the mountains and the environment is very good.
When they arrived at the villa they rented, there was a yard, but the yard was not very big and could not accommodate the RV, so they parked the RV outside the villa.
Each villa here is independent, so parking an RV outside will not affect the travel of people in other villas, so there is no problem at all.
Several people got out of the car. Leng Yi used the key to unlock the iron gate outside. Everyone entered the yard together. Li Liang drove the pickup truck in and parked it next to the wall.
"The environment here is really nice, much better than in Yunshan." Lu Lin looked around and was very satisfied.
Yang Qing nodded. "This is a mountainous area, so it's hardly affected by floods or tsunamis. It's normal that it's preserved intact."
Several people came in and cleaned every corner of the villa. Yang Qing got on the RV to take things out of the storage room and asked them to move into the villa.
Some things were taken directly out of the space, and Li Liang and the others had no idea what was inside.
The villa has basic furniture, including beds, sofas, and wardrobes, but there are no kitchen utensils, so you naturally have to prepare your own bedding.
Yang Qing didn't lack these things anyway. It was hot now and he didn't need a quilt. Just sheets and pillows were enough.
I took out pots and pans from the kitchen and put out a simple single-burner gas stove, a small bottle of gas, and an induction cooker, since electricity could be used here anyway.
The bathroom only has a faucet and a shower, but the weather is so hot, the water is hot, so cold water is fine.
The four rooms were just enough for the five of them. Yang Qing and Leng Yi shared one room, and the other three had one room each.
"There is no air conditioning in the room." Yang Qing said to Leng Yizhu. Although they were in the mountains, the temperature was high and it was still very hot.
Although they have an RV, the storage room cannot accommodate four air conditioners, and it is difficult to take them out of the space.
"How about we exchange it with points? Or go outside to find supplies?" Leng Yi asked.
People living in the base can go outside to find supplies. They can use the supplies they find themselves or exchange them for points at the base.
However, most people usually exchange their points for good accommodation and good food.
"Should we exchange them with points?" Yang Qing pondered. It was impossible for them to find four air conditioners as soon as they arrived. That would be too conspicuous.
The base has been operating for so long, and the city's supplies should have been almost completely searched. How could they possibly find it so quickly?
It’s better to keep a low profile.
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded. They still had so many points anyway, so it would be a waste not to use them.
Leng Yi called Li Liang and Lin Feng, "Let's go to the management office to replace the air conditioner. You can come and help move things."
"Okay, Brother Yi!" The two of them agreed quickly.
The three of them drove the pickup truck back to the management office.
When they got to the supply exchange area, Leng Yi asked, "I want an air conditioner, do you have one?"
"Yes." The clerk nodded. "One air conditioner earns two points per month. Electricity is charged separately."
"Okay, I want four air conditioners." Leng Yi nodded.
The clerk looked at him in surprise. "Four?" He must be living in a villa. A small high-rise suite has at most three rooms, so there's no need for four air conditioners.
The clerk immediately became enthusiastic. "Do you need installation? We also have installers. Of course, there will be an additional installation fee."
"Can the installation fee be exchanged for points?" Leng Yi asked.
"That won't work. We need to give them food." The clerk shook his head.
Leng Yi frowned, "If we deduct points and give them to them, then they can use the points to exchange for food, isn't that the same thing?"
The clerk smiled and said, "How can that be the same? One of their points can't even be exchanged for two kilograms of food. There's no difference at all. What will the base eat?"
Leng Yi was stunned. The base still needs to make money?
But it's also true that to run the base, we can't just rely on a few rich people like these, and many people, like them, use points cards to exchange things, so the base doesn't actually get any benefits.
Of course, a lot of food was collected when points were first exchanged, but with so many bases across the country, it had to be redistributed, and it was not certain how much could be allocated to each base.
Therefore, the base also has to make money to maintain its daily expenses.
"Forget it, we'll do it ourselves." Leng Yi said. It's not like he doesn't know how to pretend anyway.
The clerk deducted eight points from his points card and stamped it with the date and personal seal, which was quite thorough.
"After one month, if you want to renew your subscription, you need to bring your points card to deduct points, otherwise the air conditioner will be taken back," the clerk reminded.
"I understand." Leng Yi nodded, took the air conditioner receipt and went to the warehouse to pick up the goods.
When I arrived at the warehouse, I found that it was very big. There was everything there, all sorted and organized.
Leng Yi took out the receipt and gave it to the warehouse manager. The manager took a look at it and asked someone to take out the air conditioner.
"Where do these things come from?" Leng Yi asked curiously.
"Part of it was transported from various departments when the base was built, and part of it was found when everyone went out to collect supplies. The found items can be exchanged for points." said the manager.
Leng Yi nodded, so that's how it is.
