Chapter 85 Renting a House to Find Out About Jiang Xian
After marking the points, Gu Luan still had 195 points left.
She needs to stay in the base for at least one night, so she currently needs to rent a house.
After the staff’s introduction, Gu Luan learned about the housing situation at the base.
The entire Guangshi base is divided into four areas: ABCD.
Area A is where the military's official offices are located, which also includes where their families live.
Area B has villas and high-rise residential areas.
Villas are generally inhabited by wealthy people who have material resources and power.
The villa is a small two or three-story villa, with each floor only a hundred square meters.
To live in a three-story villa, you need to spend 300 kilograms of food per month, which is 3,000 points.
A two-story villa requires 2,000 points.
The high-rise residential complex has only six floors and no elevator.
There are eight households on each floor, and each household has an area of 80 square meters. Living here requires 800 points per month.
There are four types of square accommodation in Area C.
They are fifty square meters and 500 points per month.
Thirty square meters, 300 points per month.
Twenty square meters, 200 points per month.
Twelve square meters, 120 points per month.
In addition to monthly and annual packages, the four types of houses in Zone C can also be rented out on a short-term basis, with the minimum rental period being ten days.
Area D is a poverty-stricken area and is located at the outermost part of the base.
There are almost all light steel mobile houses here, and there are two types.
A kind of light steel mobile house, each room is about 20 square meters.
Nine people are required to live in it, and each person is given 20 points per month.
There is also a type of light steel house that does not require food and is a large dormitory house.
Hundreds or even thousands of people need to live in this kind of house.
The light steel house is so crowded that it is difficult to even turn over when sleeping at night.
Especially the smell of feet, snoring and quarreling, which always make people collapse.
No matter how bad the environment is, people living here have never thought of going somewhere else.
Because they can't afford to live anywhere else.
After listening to the staff's introduction, Gu Luan chose to short-term rent a 12-square-meter house for ten days.
Short-term rentals are a little more expensive, requiring 50 points for ten days, which is five kilograms of food.
In addition to renting a house, Gu Luan also needs to pay heating bills when living in Area C.
The heating fee for the twelve square meters is 20 points per month, and Gu Luan has to pay 8 points for living there for ten days.
58 points were gone in an instant, and after deducting the points given to the young man, Gu Luan now had 137 points left.
The points that had just arrived were deducted before they could even warm up to the present.
To be honest, Gu Luan still felt a little distressed.
There is no shortage of supplies, and I really feel sad.
After renting the house, she got a key with c5-5-308 printed on it.
"Where is the house on the key?"
Gu Luan showed the key to the young man.
The young man took a quick look and said quickly, "Sister, the house you rent is in Unit 5, Building 5, Area C, Floor 3, Room 8."
"Oh." Gu Luan nodded, "Isn't it a bit far?"
"Well, I might need to drive."
"There are also many parking lots in Area C. I have already paid the parking fee. You just need to drive your car to a nearby parking lot and park it."
"Let's go, then."
Gu Luan returned to the temporary parking lot and drove the car out.
"Sister, please follow me."
Just as the young man was about to run, Gu Luan called him, "Come up, you show me the way."
The boy was stunned and lowered his head shyly, "Sister, I'm dirty and will dirty your seat."
Having worked as a guide for so long, he has been disliked by countless people.
This was the first time someone didn't look down on him and took the initiative to let him get in the car.
"It's okay, you sit in the passenger seat and quickly show the way."
It was getting late, and she still wanted to find a place to stay, so she went to ask the bagman.
The young man got into Gu Luan's car with a red face.
He didn't dare get too close to Gu Luan, for fear that the smell from his body would offend Gu Luan.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Luan arrived at area C5.
She didn't go up immediately, but just took a look at the place where she needed to stay tonight.
"Zhang Xueliang should be back by now, right?"
It's already 6:30 in the evening and the sky is starting to darken. I guess the gossiper should have gone off work.
"Maybe soon. We should be able to meet him if we go from area C5 to where he lives."
The young man nodded and directed Gu Luan to Zhang Xueliang's residence again.
Although Zhang Xueliang is the base's gossip boss, he is not well-off.
He now lives in a nine-person room in Zone D and needs to pay 20 points every month.
In addition to doing secret work, Zhang Xueliang would also work outside the base when food was scarce.
This way you can earn points and buy necessities and food.
After a busy day, Zhang Xueliang was exhausted, with coal all over his face and body.
Returning to the nine-person room where he lived, Zhang Xueliang was so tired that he lay down on the bed without taking off his clothes.
Thinking about his current life, Zhang Xueliang felt sad and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Before the end of the world, he was a journalist with a promising future.
Just when I was about to get promoted, this damn apocalypse suddenly came.
His parents starved to death because of him, and they finally came to the base, thinking that better days had arrived.
As a result, he found that, except for not starving to death, the conditions were completely different from before.
Relying on his own abilities, he became the gossip-teller in the base.
With this, I can earn about ten packs of instant noodles every month, which is barely enough to fill my stomach.
Living in the base, it is not enough to fill your stomach.
You need points to live, you need points to heat, you need points to buy things...
In short, no matter how hard he tried, the points were not enough.
For someone like him, it's still considered lucky, at least there is a room for nine people.
People at the bottom of the base can only live in a thousand-person house, which is a sin.
“Knock knock…”
Someone knocked on the light steel door, but Zhang Xueliang didn't want to get up for a moment.
Until he heard someone knocking on the door and calling his name outside.
"Brother Zhang, my sister wants to ask you something."
Seeing Zhang Xueliang opening the door, the boy hurriedly said.
When Zhang Xueliang heard that someone was looking for him, all his fatigue disappeared instantly.
He hasn't had any business recently, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out to dig coal.
"Give me a minute."
Zhang Xueliang knew that his image was very bad, so he hurried back to the house and pulled out a broken basin from under the bed.
The basin was half full of water, which was not clean and must have been used repeatedly.
Zhang Xueliang had no intention of falling down. He picked up the old towel hanging beside the bed and washed his face and hands.
Finally, he took off his dirty clothes and put on another set of relatively clean cotton clothes.
Three minutes later, Zhang Xueliang and the boy came in front of Gu Luan.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Xueliang. What do you want to know?"
Zhang Xueliang asked Gu Luan in a low voice, not daring to look directly at her for fear that she would get angry.
A few times ago, a customer came to see him, and because he kept staring at the customer, the customer scolded him for having dirty and obscene eyes.
Zhang Xueliang felt wronged in his heart, but he also knew that he had to endure it.
Later, he no longer dared to look up at these "superior people" who had a very good quality of life in the last days.
"I want to ask about a soldier named Jiang Xian."
Gu Luan hurriedly asked Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but look at Gu Luan with a strange expression.
