Chapter 84 Successfully Entering the Official Base
Gu Luan was standing in front of the third gate.
There were hundreds of people ahead of her, but fortunately the staff were quick.
After driving for several hours, Gu Luan was a little tired. While waiting, he took out a mint candy and threw it into his mouth to wake his mind.
About twenty minutes later, it was finally Gu Luan's turn.
Gu Luan drove the car outside the work hall, parked it, and went to the counter to register.
There was heating in the work hall, and all the staff there had smiles on their faces. A young man was the one who greeted Gu Luan.
"What is your name?"
The staff members were wearing uniform and asked Gu Luan in a low voice.
"Gu Luan."
"Where's your original address? Please take off your mask. We need to take a photo."
Following the staff's instructions, Gu Luan took off his mask.
When the staff saw Gu Luan's appearance, their eyes lit up and they couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
He doesn't know how many people he has to receive every day.
Those people all looked pale and thin, and they gave off a sour and smelly smell.
The girl in front of me is different.
Her skin is fair and tender, and her eyes are so clear that people can't take their eyes away.
Looking at the SUV parked outside, the staff's attitude became even softer.
He did hope that Gu Luan would like him, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, Gu Luan did not show any extra expression.
There was no choice but the staff handed the processed card to Gu Luan according to the rules.
"This is a base pass and also a points card."
Gu Luan took the base pass and took a look at it.
Base cards are all white, just like social security cards.
On it was Gu Luan's name and photo, as well as the number 9888852. Gu Luan knew that this was the serial number of the people in the base.
The number of people is less than 10 million, which may seem like a lot but is actually very small. You can imagine how ruthless natural disasters are.
Maybe there are still people who have not been rescued.
Maybe there are still people who don’t want to come.
Maybe some of them live in private bases like Sunshine Base.
In any case, a province certainly lost a lot of people.
This is still under the condition of national notification.
Some of them were frozen to death, starved to death, killed, or kept in captivity...
Everything is told to the living.
The world has changed!
It has become lawless and even the country cannot control it.
Gu Luan threw the base card into the space and drove into the Guangshi base.
The base occupies almost the entire city, but it cannot cope with the large population and small land area.
The houses here are built very densely, and although there are trees on both sides, they are few.
As soon as he entered the base, Gu Luan saw a circular square-like area with many people talking to each other.
When a few teenagers saw Gu Luan's SUV, they ran towards her without thinking.
Each of them was a child no older than fifteen, dressed in rags and with worn-out shoes on their feet.
They were shivering with cold, but still reluctant to leave the square.
One of the boys, about 1.7 meters tall, ran the fastest.
Seeing that he had surpassed them, the others returned to their original positions in despair.
"Hello, sister. Do you need a guide?"
The boy is very thin, but his eyes are very bright.
Because he was wearing so little, he was shivering from the cold and his speech was slurred.
His face, hands and ears were all covered with frostbite, and he curled up his body, hoping that this would keep him warmer.
"Sister, it's not expensive for me to be a guide. You just need to give me a pack of cookies."
Afraid that Gu Luan wouldn't want a guide, the boy tried hard to promote himself.
"Take me to the parking lot first."
As soon as Gu Luan finished speaking, the boy nodded happily, "Sister, follow me. I run super fast and can take you to the parking lot quickly."
The young man turned around and smiled at Gu Luan, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Then he quickly walked around the square and ran towards the parking lot.
Gu Luan followed behind him, and just as the young man said, he ran very fast.
Along the way, Gu Luan saw many people in tattered clothes, holding shovels in their hands, cleaning the ice.
These ice cubes will not be thrown away, but will be well preserved by the base.
A few minutes later, the boy took Gu Luan to the nearest parking lot.
The parking lot was made of simple steel plates, and there was someone guarding the gate.
A temporary parking day requires 1 point, while a monthly subscription only requires 85 points.
All in all, it is much more cost-effective than temporary parking.
Gu Luan didn't expect that parking required points.
She currently has no points, so if she wants to park, she must first redeem points.
"Sister doesn't have any points, use mine first."
The boy simply took out his points card and swiped it on the machine outside the parking lot.
Gu Luan looked at the boy and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you of your points?"
The boy smiled back, "Don't worry, my sister can drive, why would she blame me for the points? Besides, one point is not worth much."
Although the boy said nonchalantly that one point was not worth much.
But Gu Luan knew clearly that low-level people like them definitely did not have many points.
The boy was trying hard to please her.
Because he knew that if he could make her happy, he might be able to get more than one point from her.
Well, he's a very smart boy!
Gu Luan went in and parked the car, and the boy waited outside obediently.
Gu Luan walked up to him and asked, "Do you know a soldier named Jiang Xian?"
The boy thought about it carefully and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I don't know, but I can take you to find the gossip in our base. He will definitely know."
"A gossip?"
"Well, his name is Zhang Xueliang. I heard he used to be a reporter. He came to the base to do gossip. It costs two packs of instant noodles to find him once."
"Where is he?"
Gu Luan asked hurriedly.
I don’t know if this gossipy person can bring her any news about Jiang Xian.
"Zhang Xueliang has gone to the coal mine outside the base to dig coal. He won't be back until the evening."
Seeing Gu Luan so anxious, the young man spoke in a low voice.
Gu Luan knew that he was too impatient.
Since he couldn't get any news about Jiang Xian from Zhang Xueliang for the time being, Gu Luan actually wanted to ask around.
See if you can find out any news about Jiang Xian.
She wanted to go to the military office to inquire, but it was impossible for ordinary people to be allowed in there.
As it was getting dark, Gu Luan could do nothing but exchange points under the guidance of the young man and prepare to rent a house for the night.
There are several halls for redeeming points in the base, and one of the points halls is not far from the parking lot.
Gu Luan carried twenty kilograms of flour from the car and went to the redemption hall to exchange it for his points.
Gu Luan exchanged 200 points based on the exchange rate of 10 points per pound of flour.
She asked the staff to mark five points on the youth points card as her reward.
The young man was very happy when he received the points from Gu Luan.
He didn't refuse because he was short of points.
Points are very useful at the base.
People like him only have a dozen points on their card.
You can’t do anything you want, you have to accumulate more points.
