Lu Yuan nodded quickly, then gave the other party a somewhat imperfect military salute and said, "Understood!"
The short-bearded man nodded slightly, then prepared to call for help, but seemed to remember something, and looked up at Lu Yuan, saying, "This is my territory, and I expect you to obey orders and not cause trouble for me. Before, I didn't care who you were, but now that you're here, you have to obey orders, or I'll deal with you sooner or later, you hear me!"
Lu Yuan quickly grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble!"
"Okay, that's good." After saying that, the short-bearded man called out towards the door.
A tall man immediately walked in from outside: "Minister Chen, you wanted to see me?"
"Well, since your team isn't here, it's perfect timing to add a new member. Take him with you when you leave! Teach him the rules on the way!"
The man glanced at Lu Yuan and then quickly nodded.
Before leaving, the short-bearded man gently patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder, said some words of encouragement, and then closed the door with a smile. He turned around and took out a heavy bag from his pocket. After opening it, he took out several gold nuggets and held them in his hand. They were quite heavy.
"This kid knows how to get things done!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan was always by the side of that tall man.
This tall man seemed particularly talkative, and immediately asked, "Brother, where did you come from!"
"From Shanxi Province!"
"Oh, you're from Shanxi Province. I heard it's quite chaotic there, and there was a serious earthquake!"
"Yes, that's right!"
The man nodded slightly, then casually asked a few more questions before introducing himself.
Lu Yuan then learned that the man from before was named Zhou Qi. He was a local resident of Wansheng, with three generations of his family living there and never having left. Before the disaster, he had been a lowly auxiliary police officer, and he had survived by sheer luck after the disaster.
Now, only he and his wife remain in his family; everyone else perished in the massacre. After the Fifth Survivor Base was established, he used many connections to get in, and he still became a lowly beat cop, which is now known as a garrison unit.
As they walked, Zhou Qi explained the basic situation of the garrison to Lu Yuan. This department was actually responsible for the management of this area, including security and crime investigation, similar to the old public security system. However, it was not responsible for household registration, population census, or residence permit processing. These functions were transferred to another department, which, to put it bluntly, was only responsible for security management.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhou Qi led Lu Yuan to a dilapidated small building. This building had miraculously survived the earthquake, but it was quite old and covered in moss.
This place will become their office area, which includes various armories and other prisons for prisoners.
Although Lu Yuan hadn't known Zhou Qi for long, he had already gotten to know him quite well. Zhou Qi was a very talkative person and a very kind person. He could chat with anyone he went with, and he was very patient. If you had any questions, he would answer them without reservation.
After finishing all his work, Zhou Qi arrived at a nearby small grocery store. Since the current communication equipment was no longer working, the only communication equipment available was shortwave walkie-talkies, which required coverage from a base station to make calls.
Lu Yuan originally thought that walkie-talkies like these were provided by the police force, but he didn't expect Zhou Qi to say that he needed to buy them himself. Lu Yuan couldn't accept this, mainly because the walkie-talkies were particularly expensive.
When Lu Yuan came in, he took out some meat and exchanged it for some currency circulating in the Fifth Survivor Base on the black market. They called it Doomsday Coin, which was worth about the same as the previous Chinese currency.
In fact, this currency is not only used here, but also in other places. Many survivor bases have adopted this currency, which needs to be exchanged for food or gold.
Lu Yuan glanced at the dilapidated glass cabinet, frowning as he looked at the various walkie-talkies inside: "Why are things here so expensive? Maybe I should just buy them on the black market!"
Lu Yuan had no intention of using his dimensional space again. After all, if it were discovered, it could lead to his death. So, in this seemingly free place, which was actually monitored everywhere, Lu Yuan did not intend to use his dimensional space casually.
Zhou Qi felt a little embarrassed after glancing at Lu Yuan. She looked at the woman sitting behind the counter and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "I advise you to buy it here instead, don't make trouble for yourself!"
After hearing his words, Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised and asked, "What do you mean by 'don't cause trouble for yourself'?"
At this moment, Zhou Qi whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "It's nothing. The main thing is that these communication tools are all contracted out by Minister Chen's brother-in-law. Those who use these communication tools are either high-ranking leaders or us security personnel. If you buy them on the black market, you'll have to go to the frequency center to calibrate the channel, which will be quite troublesome. Why don't you just buy them here?"
