Chapter 326 Money is just a number to Jingshu
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a VIP venue. There is no place in the entire park that is cleaner than this one except for the parking lot. The houses in the park have been soaked for a year and are full of water fungi and plants, making them uninhabitable. The lawns in the open-air park were previously covered with hairy seaweed. If you sleep outside at night, you will freeze to death.
Wang Dongpo is a big boy of 1.7 meters tall, with a shy smile and wearing a worn military coat. He said that this is the refuge area under the charge of the Third Detachment, and now the two areas are temporarily merged. You can imagine how crowded it is.
"Your location is really good. After entering the park, there's a large parking lot on the right. Further ahead is a park that's been soaked in mud for a year. There's a deep pit that stinks, like fermenting corpses. It's too big for us to clean up. Originally, this park was reserved for the people from the Lingshan District of the Third Detachment. It's quite far from here. It'll probably be nightfall by the time we get here, and there won't be any space left."
Wang Dongpo looked at the delicate Jingshu putting on the gas mask. Is it really that exaggerated? But the smell is indeed a bit unpleasant.
The huge RV looked lonely in the corner. Jing's father handed the young man a handful of soybeans and said, "What are the rules here?"
Okay, Jing’s dad has also learned this trick now.
"Thank you, uncle, but I still have something to say. We agreed before that you would only be charged for one day's stay. If there is no earthquake after one day and you evacuate, there will be no additional charge. Otherwise, you will be charged extra starting tomorrow night. This is a VIP area after all."
According to regulations, you have to pay 100 virtual coins for parking for one day. If you don't want to, you can go to the general area. There are also free parking in the garbage area. After all, this is the safest and cleanest area in the park. Look over there, that's the general area."
Wang Dongpo shone his light over there. Over there was the grassy parkland of the pre-apocalyptic era. He could vaguely make out a few chairs now covered in long green fur. The ground was a mess of cement pits. Jing's father frowned. What was the difference between living there and living in a quagmire? He couldn't imagine tens of thousands of people pouring into the mud pits.
Jingshu blinked, and the young man continued, "Now, anyone driving a car, no matter which shelter they go to, is treated the same. The big data should have the relevant documents. We're not asking for money, and there are only so many good places. Who doesn't want to live in the best? This is also the fairest. Whoever pays gets to live there. Ordinary people can also feel comfortable living there, don't you think?"
Jing's father nodded and said, "Okay."
Jingshu didn't know about this rule in her previous life, but she did hear that this kind of good place is just like taking a train with sleeper berths, hard seats, and standing tickets. They live in the dirtiest and worst places for free, while the rich live in good places. Jingshu thinks it is fair. In her previous life, she envied those who drove cars and lived in open and flat places, while they could only clean up garbage and work desperately.
She heard that the price of staying in a good place for one night was dozens of virtual coins. At that time, she was still thinking that she could buy more than a dozen steamed buns with dozens of virtual coins. Only a fool would stay there. She didn't dare to think how someone could be so extravagant, just like before the end of the world, she didn't dare to think about people spending tens of thousands of dollars to stay in a first-class hotel.
Until this life, virtual currency was really just a number to her.
However, according to Jingshu's experience, the higher-ups are starting to prepare to harvest a batch of leeks, specifically to kill a group of people who have money and supplies. Who made the disaster come again now? The earthquake today caused heavy losses. She'd better not be the first one to be punished.
Seeing the two agreed, Xiao Wang continued, "Also, don't show off your food publicly, and don't eat in public to avoid riots and robberies. If danger strikes, please evacuate the scene as quickly as possible. After all, you have cars and can move quickly, which will also reduce our burden. However, if necessary, the state will arrange for women and children to be evacuated in your cars. I'm your personal butler at Xuanwu Lake Park, Wang Dongpo. Just call me Xiao Wang. This is my WeChat."
Jing's father asked Jingshu to add Wang Dongpo's WeChat account and casually said, "Wang Dongpo is a good name. He is as famous as Su Dongpo."
Wang Dongpo scratched his head embarrassedly. "My dad just likes to eat Dongpo pork elbow, so he gave it this name. I hope I can eat Dongpo pork elbow every day in the future."
Jingshu, Jing's father:
"..." This is too much of a waste of time to take the child's name seriously. How can you just give it a random name? This is a big deal as it accompanies a book.
Fortunately, the family brought plenty of things with them. Jingshu changed into rain boots and a closed raincoat when she got out of the RV. The ground was covered with mud, and what was scary was that there were bugs. Jingshu was bitten just now.
Master Jing took a shovel and started shoveling mud. Every time he shoveled, he heard the clanging sound of the shovel hitting the cement floor. Fortunately, the mud was not very deep, and all the mud from the land allocated to Wang Dongpo was shoveled into the mud puddle. There was a pungent odor on the mud that made people want to vomit. It was as smelly as fermented feces.
It is now one o'clock in the afternoon, and Jingnai has begun to skillfully cook lunch in the RV. It still shakes from time to time, but the park is located in a flat valley after all, so even the rumbling sound has become smaller.
Jing's mom and dad started sending WeChat messages with their intermittently working phones. They could hardly hear the calls clearly, and the WeChat messages they sent had to go in circles for a while before they could be sent. The reason for this was that most of the signal towers were damaged by the earthquake. Some of them were still working, but there was no signal because the distance was too far.
"The Agriculture Department hasn't been shaken yet. I want to go back and take a look."
"The livestock farm was hit by an earthquake and everyone is evacuating... I want to go over and help."
Jingshu: "Ouch, my head hurts again!"
Jingshu knew that some places were not collapsed by the earthquake, but the entire building complex disappeared. It was possible that the Agricultural Bureau and the Livestock Farm were among them. She would know in a few days, so it was better to stay here and take shelter for the next few days.
Jingshu was really in pain because the illusion was used on Jingshu's father and mother at the same time, which made Jingshu's face a little pale. This made Jingshu's mother no longer want to go to the Agricultural Bureau. Since they were not affected by the earthquake, everything was normal. It was actually the same with or without her.
Jingshu took advantage of this time to practice Rubik's Cube like crazy. Through these days of hard work, she reached the threshold of promotion, but she always felt that something was missing and she could not meet the requirements of the Rubik's Cube space.
This time, Jingshu didn't know if she lacked such an opportunity or lacked control over the Rubik's Cube, maybe both. She could only work harder to contact the Rubik's Cube and hope to advance before going to the United States.
But things really didn't go as she wished. No one expected that going to the United States would happen so soon.
