Xu Lin looked at the map, which was a layout of the base. After entering the base gate, there was a service hall, which was where they were located. On the left and right sides of the hall were the offices of the functional departments, which was similar to the Beijing base.
Behind the main hall are the east and west sections, separated by a market and a shopping mall. The planned functions of the site are quite clearly defined.
The service staff made a good point, but they had secrets, and it wasn't safe to live in a regular residential area.
“We have other friends on the road who would like to see the villa. Is it available for rent?” Xu Lin said.
"Sure, renting costs 500 points per month, or 5,000 points per year, which includes property management fees and a 1,000-point deposit. But if you're planning to stay long-term, I think buying is more cost-effective. It only costs 50,000 points, and I happen to have a property available."
"Can we see the location of the villa?"
"Can."
The staff member took out a tablet, tapped a few times on the screen, and then handed it to Xu Lin.
It's actually AI!
First, there is a floor plan. Red indicates properties that are already owned, yellow indicates properties that are currently rented out (you can negotiate if you want to buy), and green indicates properties that are unowned (you can rent or buy).
Xu Lin skipped over the patch of red in the middle and searched among the surrounding green.
"Here it is!" Zhou Pin said, pointing to a small red house in the northeast direction.
Xu Lin took one look and thought the location was really good. It was a bit far from the other villas, offering good privacy, and very close to another gate of the base, making it convenient to enter and exit the base.
"I'm sorry, sir, this villa was originally reserved for internal use. Although that person has been transferred, there was no mention of it being available for rent. We forgot to update the information. Would you like to look at other properties?"
The staff felt very apologetic, as they had finally found a customer who had taken a liking to an interior room.
"Let's find a temporary place to stay first, and I'll figure out a house later," Zhou Pin said to Xu Lin, noticing that she was interested.
The two had the staff find an open space so they could live in the shipping container for the time being, and Zhou Pin would take care of the housing issue.
"The temporary accommodation is in the West District. There is a group rental area here, a dormitory. If you don't want to squeeze in with others and have your own tent, you can set up your tent in this open space," the staff member said, pointing to the far end of the West District.
The two decided to live in a shipping container on the vacant lot first, and deal with the house issue later when they were settled.
The two left the rental and sales window and went to the grain window, only to find that the grain prices were not as high as they had imagined. It seemed that grain production at the Northwest Base was not bad.
The two did not buy anything, partly because they had no points and partly because they had everything they needed.
When we arrived at the open space in the west area, we found that the space, which looked quite spacious on the map, was densely packed with tents. These tents were basically just tarpaulins, rags, or tattered sacks that were set up haphazardly.
The two men, driving a truck, quickly attracted the attention of the indigenous people. Those with a will to live immediately sent their children over to play the victim, hoping to get some food.
It's a miracle that someone could survive this long after the apocalypse, still fooled by such a small trick.
Ignoring the pitiful child who came over, the two parked their car in a relatively clean spot nearby, intending to have some food and rest for the night before making any further plans.
The arrival of the truck was like a millionaire coming to the slums. The survivors were like flies to meat, and all sorts of monsters and demons did everything they could to take them down.
