It sounds similar to the Beijing base. Taking advantage of her older brother's enthusiasm, Xu Lin asked a few more questions, and the two quickly became familiar with each other, making Zhou Pin jealous. Once he had gathered enough information, he took Xu Lin into the car.
"We're almost at the base, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Lin asked, puzzled.
"We need to get to the base as soon as possible and settle in. We still need to find a place to stay," Zhou Pin said.
“That makes sense. He said the base is developing very well now, they even have hotels. Let’s find a hotel tonight and look for a place to stay tomorrow. I wonder if Sun Wei and the others have arrived yet.” Xu Lin said, taking out her walkie-talkie and starting to test it.
This walkie-talkie was obtained by Zhou Pin from the Ministry of Science and Technology. The same model of walkie-talkie can be detected within 3 kilometers. In other words, as long as Sun Wei and his group are within 3 kilometers, the walkie-talkie will issue a prompt, and Xu Lin and his group can directly contact them after confirming the connection.
After waiting for a long time with no response on the walkie-talkie, Xu Lin decided to go to the base and ask the "police station" for information.
After setting off again, the two were no longer as heavy-hearted as before, and the pedestrians on the road showed no signs of dejection; everything seemed full of hope.
It took 20 minutes to drive to the base gate; the difference between having a road and not having one is obvious.
Looking at the magnificent "Northwest Base" sign outside, the two breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to get some rest.
Having already learned about the rules for entering the base, the two exchanged their identity cards at the service station at the main gate. The identity cards could be transferred from the Beijing base to the Northwest base for free.
The points on the identity card cannot be transferred together and can only be forfeited. Fortunately, the two had already spent all their points when they left the Beijing base.
Holding their new ID cards, the two followed the signs to the service hall. The layout was similar to that of the Beijing base, which was indeed an official base with a reasonable plan and clear division of responsibilities.
Xu Lin first went to the housing rental and sales window, but instead of going directly to window number 2 that the stall vendor had mentioned, she observed the area from the outside.
Through observation and comparison, Xu Lin confirmed that window number 1 was the official rental/sale window, while window number 2 was private. No wonder the vendor was so enthusiastic about recommending it.
Most of the people who came to rent or sell houses were new survivors. Someone at the counter tried to get them to go to window number 2, and those who didn't know anything about the situation went straight there.
The two went directly to window number 1 when the other was not paying attention.
"Hello, we'd like to see the house."
Xu Lin didn't say whether she wanted to buy or rent a house. Rationally, she preferred to rent, since natural disasters could happen at any time.
Emotionally, she wants to buy a house to feel a sense of belonging and hopes that the natural disasters will stop so that people can live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"Are you looking to rent or buy a house? We have a fairly large supply of properties available."
What are the price ranges for renting and buying a house?
The staff could tell from Xu Lin and Zhou Pin's clothes that they were wealthy, so they started making recommendations to them.
"You've just started your base, right? Let me give you a brief introduction. The residential area is divided into east and west sections. The west section consists of shared rental housing, which is in a poorer environment and is frequented by a mixed bunch of people. The east section has regular residential areas and villa areas, where people live in better-off conditions."
The staff took out a map and pointed it out to them while explaining.
"Judging from your circumstances, you'll definitely live in the East District. It's just a matter of whether you choose a regular residential area or a villa area. But since there are only two of you, I think a regular residential area is enough. Villas are generally for large families or groups of people living together."
