Su Li felt slightly relieved as she watched the three soldiers who had gathered around the little girl and bent down to ask her questions.
It seems that no matter how chaotic things are among the survivors outside, or how much people's hearts have changed, the management within the base is still quite good.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such good-tempered and easy-going soldiers!
Thinking this, she had a sudden thought and took the opportunity to ask the three of them:
"By the way, could I ask how the living conditions are at the base now? Are there many people?"
Upon hearing Su Li's question, one of the slightly older soldiers looked at her and smiled.
Because the base has just opened, a large number of survivors have arrived in the past two days, and many of them have questions.
He had heard similar questions many times in the past two days, but he still spoke to Su Li in a gentle manner:
"There aren't many people here yet. The base has just opened, and some infrastructure, such as heating, water supply, and electricity, still needs improvement. However, it can guarantee the basic living needs of residents. Most importantly, the safety of the base is guaranteed!"
After a pause, seeing Su Li's thoughtful expression, he kindly reminded her:
"The base has just opened to the public, and we need people for many positions. The earlier you join, the greater your chances of getting a good job. In the current situation, it's pretty good to get a job that doesn't require you to go out! But you can go in and take a look first. The world is different now. Although most people choose the safer base, some people don't want to be confined inside and leave after going in. It's not mandatory. You can go in and take a look and choose for yourself!"
This person explained things in great detail and even offered some thoughtful advice.
Su Li felt that it was about what she had expected; everything was in need of rebuilding and would always require some time and manpower.
So she nodded, looked at the man in front of her and thanked him, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully, thank you!"
After saying goodbye to the group, she quickly returned to her car.
After getting in the car, Su Li did not start the car immediately.
She sat down in the back and repeated what the soldier had just said to the others. Then she took out her tablet and showed them the picture of the city entry rules she had just taken.
Actually, the rules sheet didn't contain much information. Su Li glanced at it and found that it simply introduced the entry process, listed the supplies required for entry, the basic rules of the city, and an introduction to the current situation in the city.
"Looking at it this way, there's nothing more to ask!"
Fang Chen looked away from the tablet and blinked.
Su Li had already found out everything she needed to know, and besides, the rules for entering the city were written in great detail!
Hearing this, Su Li nodded in agreement. She hummed in agreement, thought for a moment, and then looked up to ask, "So, what do we do now? Should we go straight to queue up, or go tomorrow morning?"
After the question was asked, a silence fell among them.
Actually, this isn't a big problem. Once you've learned everything you need to know, you can just go inside the base and take a look!
But upon thinking about this, a slight sense of resistance suddenly arose in the hearts of all of them.
It was the resistance of suddenly being bound by rules again after getting used to two months of freedom.
Although this feeling of resistance is very, very little!
Thinking this through, Qi Zhi finally spoke up: "Sister Su Li, let's go queue up again tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it's almost three o'clock now, and we'll probably be queuing until midnight!"
Hearing Qi Zhi say this, the others naturally had no objections!
After carefully observing the surroundings, Su Li started the car and drove it towards a high-rise residential building not far away.
The residential building was only about 500 meters away from the base entrance. The group got out of the car and looked up at the tall building in front of them.
Xuanqing perched on Su Li's shoulder, listened intently for a while, then wagged its tail and said, "There are living people, quite a few of them. Be quiet on the eighth floor."
So the group went inside the building.
The hallway was not clean; large patches of black bloodstains covered the walls of several floors. Occasionally, voices could be heard coming from the rooms, it was unclear whether they were original residents or survivors who had temporarily moved in.
The six people and one cat quickly made their way up to the eighth floor.
It is indeed quiet here, but not just on this floor; the floors above it are all quiet.
Perhaps it's because it's too high up and there's no elevator that few people are willing to live here.
To avoid being disturbed, Su Li and her companions finally went all the way up to the tenth floor before choosing their rooms for the night.
Lin Dong didn't need to unlock the doors, because almost every door had been forcibly pried open, and every room, even the beds and sofas that were difficult to move, had been completely emptied.
Su Li guessed that these had probably all been taken away by the base, since these things were readily available resources!
"Let's go with this one!"
The group looked at all three rooms on the tenth floor and finally chose the cleanest one.
This is a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. The entire apartment is about 150 square meters, and the interior has been completely cleaned up.
The group cleaned the floor briefly, and Su Li put away the bed sheets and blankets for sleeping and the sofa for resting. The six people and the cat then sat down in the living room to rest.
It was nearing dusk, and the setting sun was gradually turning the sky orange-red.
Sunlight streamed through the glass windows, bathing the room in a golden glow, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
If it weren't for the occasional footsteps and whispers coming from downstairs, one would almost forget that this is a dangerous apocalypse!
"Um, actually I have a question!"
After a moment of silence, Qi Zhi suddenly broke the silence.
The others looked up at him, and he scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I just wanted to ask, after we enter the base tomorrow, will we all have to separate?"
These words startled everyone in the room, except for Su Li.
She pursed her lips, feeling that it was time to bring this up.
So while the others were still somewhat confused, she spoke up:
"That's not necessarily true. People might not be in the same position because of the type of work they choose, but if they want, they can still choose to live together or in the same area."
"However," Su Li paused, looked up at the group, and continued, "I won't be with you. I don't plan to join the base for now."
"Huh? Why?"
Upon hearing her say this, Qi Zhi was the first to find it unacceptable.
He looked at Su Li with some anxiety: "Sister Su Li, why aren't you with us? Are you going to walk by yourself? Where are you going?"
For him, Su Li was far more than just a teammate who survived the apocalypse together.
He met Su Li when he was most helpless. Although it had only been two months, Su Li's leadership aura in front of him had made him unconsciously start to rely on her.
