Chapter 154 Points System Base
The noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Gradually, sobbing sounds began to be heard, very suppressed and desperate.
"Then, what should we do? Without supplies and a house, how are we going to survive?"
An old man holding a three-year-old child took a few trembling steps forward and looked at Xu Sichen who was high up with pleading eyes.
The old man is an old resident of Central Garden.
After the end of the world came, his wife died of illness, and his son and daughter-in-law went out to find supplies and never came back. If it weren't for the little grandson in his arms, he actually didn't want to live.
The house is the only support for them, the grandparents and their grandchildren. If there is really no place to live, then he will just die with his child. It is better than leaving him to suffer in this world.
"Uncle Liu, after Xiao Xu said that, he didn't say that we can't stay!" Qian Wenbin handed the little daughter in his arms to his wife beside him, and then helped hold his hands, supporting him while helping him reduce the weight of the child in his arms.
"Yes, yes, Brother Liu, I believe Xiao Xu will have her own arrangements. Besides, it was Xiao Xu who risked her life to drive away those ruthless robbers. It was she who saved us. This house should belong to her." Grandma Zhang also squeezed out from the crowd.
As she said, she was really grateful to Xu Sichen for driving away the group of thugs, and there was no resentment in her eyes when she looked at Xu Sichen.
"Xiao Xu, you just said that our neighborhood will become the Morning Light Base. So can we enter this base?"
The crowd, who were originally in a panic, gradually reacted at this time.
Yes, the base!
What is the base for?
Isn’t it a refuge for people in the last days?
Uncle Liu's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up.
He was confused by the group of troublemakers just now, thinking that if his house was gone, he would have nowhere to live.
There were many people like Grandpa Liu, including native residents of the community who ran back from outside, and disaster victims who came here to seek refuge from other places. They all looked up at Xu Sichen who was high up with hope.
Xu Sichen looked around and said loudly: "Yes, everyone is welcome to join the Morning Light Base."
When the people below heard this, they immediately cheered excitedly.
"I said Xiao Xu is not such a heartless person, otherwise she would not have helped my daughter before." Fang Tiexiong looked proud.
The daughter Fang Xiaoya he mentioned looked at Xu Sichen with starry eyes.
Grandma Zhang slapped her thigh excitedly and said, "The foundation is great, and Xiao Xu's management of the base is even better. Brother Liu, you can rest assured now. Think about it, if Xiao Xu hadn't been so kind as to open the store, we wouldn't have survived."
"Hehehe, I was mistaken. I'm old and useless!"
"But!" Amidst the laughter and cheers, Xu Sichen spoke again.
It soon became quiet again.
Xu Sichen glanced maliciously at the few people who had caused the most trouble earlier and said with a smile, "Not everyone can live there."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly became nervous again.
"See, I knew she wouldn't be so kind!"
"Are you stupid? You really think there will be a pie in the sky!"
"You know about the Haichuan Base, everyone who enters has to pay a certain amount of supplies and rent every month. If you can't pay, you will be kicked out. This Chenguang Base is definitely no exception."
The people who had caused trouble started talking to each other again, mocking the innocent people around them and mocking Xu Sichen's hypocritical crowd.
Xu Sichen had very good ears and heard almost every word.
"You're right. You need to pay rent to enter the base. Different housing units have different rents."
Those people immediately looked at the people around them with gloomy faces with an expression of "See, I was right".
"What are you afraid of? That's our house, why should we pay rent? There are so many of us, we should unite. Why isn't that little girl afraid?"
"Yes, the so-called kindness is just an excuse to exploit our resources."
But no matter how they slandered and made malicious speculations, no one around them dared to respond to them.
At the same time, it was also because of the reminders from Grandma Zhang and others that made them understand that no one could drive away the robbers and mobs for you for no reason.
"Ms. Xu, can I ask how much rent you charge every month?"
Xu Sichen: "The minimum points per month are ten, and the points can be exchanged for supplies or your labor. Similarly, you can also use points to exchange for the supplies you need in the base, just like the canteen before. The specific points rules will be posted in the base in due course."
"Labor? Xiao Xu, do you mean that people in the base can work in the base to earn points?" Qian Wenbin asked in disbelief.
Because he really couldn't think of what kind of work he could do in this end times where supplies were scarce, to earn points that could be exchanged for supplies.
Supplies are so precious. Even if you are given only one steamed bun a day, there will probably be people rushing to work.
Xu Sichen nodded: "Yes, the base's walls need to be rebuilt, and the collapsed houses need to be rebuilt, so we need to recruit skilled cement masons..."
Before Xu Sichen could finish his words, a man so thin that he was just a skeleton raised his hands excitedly in the crowd: "I, I used to do this. I can cut walls and build houses. Can I apply?"
Following him, several more people raised their hands, their voices trembling with excitement, hoping only that they could be seen.
They all fled from other places and stayed because they did not participate in the riots.
Xu Sichen didn't answer, but continued: "The base needs water and electricity, so we need plumbers; the base needs communications, so we need communications professionals..."
As Xu Sichen mentioned the positions, more and more people joined in raising their hands.
If they hated their jobs before the end of the world, they are just as grateful for them now.
The vast majority of them are refugees fleeing from abroad.
This made the indigenous people of Central Garden depressed.
Many of them are wealthy bosses or general managers, and some have only management experience and know almost nothing about specific technologies.
In addition, senior intellectuals like Qian Wenbin, who are either engaged in academics or scientific research, have never done such down-to-earth technical work.
"Dad, you might as well have followed grandpa to be a bricklayer." Fang Xiaoya held her grandfather's hand and pouted to complain about her father.
Grandpa Fang puffed out his chest with pride and looked at his son with satisfaction.
There's no other way. There are so many people in the family, but only Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang can take up the job.
