She was very familiar with this place. Although it was slightly different from her previous life, she drove straight to the checkpoint where vehicles could pass with ease.
The man in the checkpoint window glanced at He Xiaobei's car from inside, his eyes showing joy. Such a nice car, the owner must not be poor:
"Hello, please show me your base card."
"First time here, no ID card."
"Oh, so, the first time you enter the base, you need to pay 20 kilograms of food, or other supplies can be deducted."
"Food? Twenty kilograms? You're really worthy of being the King of Hell. You have quite an appetite."
"What do you mean? I told you this is a base, not a place for you to run wild."
He Xiaobei opened the car door, got out directly, walked to the window, looked at the man with a smile, and hooked his finger at him:
"Come closer."
The man was stunned when he saw He Xiaobei. Of course he knew that the other party was driving a good car and was probably going to a wealthy area, but so what?
Before the end of the world, the higher the official’s rank, the greater his power and the less people saw him.
But in the base of the end of the world, the gatekeeper has the biggest job because he makes the most money, so everyone who can work here has some connections and naturally they are not afraid of being complained about.
However, he didn't expect that the woman in the car was so beautiful. When he saw the woman hooking her finger at him, he immediately became excited and a little itchy, stretching his neck and moving closer.
When He Xiaobei saw someone approaching, he reached out and grabbed the man's collar and lifted him in front of him.
But the window glass was too small, so the man's whole body was pulled against the glass by her, and his face was squeezed and deformed.
"You're quite bold, are you backed by someone powerful? You're also looking down on others for favors. You dare to ask for my food? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
She was speaking from her heart. When she heard the man asking her for food, she actually wanted to give him some and then put some paraquat or something in it.
But then he thought, what if this person doesn't eat it himself, but gives it away, or simply sells it to the base.
After the rice is sold to the supply department, it will be put together. If everyone in the base is poisoned within a few days, it will be a real disaster.
So she decided to just beat him up. Anyway, when she arrived at the gate, she saw Qi Yang standing not far away, and someone was there to cover him.
The man inside was held tightly by her. He was pressed against the glass and could hardly breathe. His face turned red.
At this time, Qi Yang walked over with one corner of his mouth raised. He Xiaobei would be dazzled by his signature evil smile every time he saw it.
He patted He Xiaobei's hand gently, signaling her to let go:
"What makes you so angry? Did he bully you?"
"Well, he told me to give him 20 kilograms of food, otherwise he wouldn't let me in."
"Twenty pounds? Hahahaha, you're quite bold!"
The man inside was released and breathed in the air in big gulps through the window. Zhang Hong, who had just been suffocating, gradually regained his composure.
He wanted to teach the woman outside a lesson, but who knew that he would be dumbfounded when he looked outside. His face, which had just faded, turned red again:
"Boss? Why are you here?"
"Boss? Qi Yang, is this still your man?"
Qi Yang reached out and grabbed He Xiaobei's hand:
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of it and made you angry."
"Since he's yours, forget it."
"Okay, let's go. You probably haven't eaten yet at this hour, and you haven't rested all night, right?"
"Yeah, I'm a little sleepy now."
The two got into He Xiaobei's car. She was indeed a little sleepy at this moment. She had not slept well for many days outside, so she got straight into the passenger seat.
Why should I start my own business when there is someone to give me instructions?
But Qi Yang got in the car but didn't leave. Instead, he lowered the window and looked at the man at the checkpoint:
"Help her get a card, named Qi Xiaobei."
The man sat back in his seat swiftly.
"Okay, boss, right away."
In less than 2 minutes, He Xiaobei's base card was respectfully handed to Qi Yang, who took it and handed it to He Xiaobei.
Of course He Xiaobei heard the name Qi Yang called out, but she didn't care. After all, he was just here to kill someone and would stay for two or three days at most. He would never come again.
Without saying anything more, Qi Yang drove He Xiaobei straight to the wealthy area. He Xiaobei looked out the window all the way.
In her previous life, she lived in the rich area, but near the outer wall on the side of the rich area close to the poor area.
As she looked, she discovered some differences. In her previous life, the houses in the poor area were at least built with bricks and stones. Although they were not high, they were still very small and closed.
In this life's poor areas, even brick and stone houses are gone. Instead, containers are stacked and connected together, and a staircase is built outside.
It would be a stretch to call it a staircase, it's just a row of iron frames, some of which are even made of wood.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious why there's no house here."
"We were originally going to build it, but I don't know what those three companies were thinking, they suddenly increased the original budget for the wealthy area, and some of the buildings were also seismic-resistant. The budget was limited, so the poor area had to use containers, but this also has its advantages."
"Advantages? What advantages?"
"Haha, no need to worry about fire prevention."
"That's really... really a big advantage."
The outside of the container is made of metal. When the sun shines in the summer, the inside is even more terrible than a sauna. It is a little better in the winter, but it is not as warm as a brick house.
Earthquake-resistant treatment? It seems that they also got some information and did this to prevent some buildings in the wealthy area from collapsing in the earthquake.
However, containers do have some advantages during earthquakes. At least they are safer than brick and stone houses, and people will not be buried in the rubble.
Moreover, when an earthquake occurs during an extremely hot period, most people probably won't sleep inside, so more people can survive, which really kills two birds with one stone.
Even if the poor areas become dilapidated after the earthquake, as long as the iconic buildings in the rich areas remain standing, the base will still exist and can be rebuilt.
After all, even if a group of people in these poor areas die, there will be new survivors to fill the gap, and their "empire" will exist forever.
But looking at Qi Yang's appearance, it seems that he has no idea that an earthquake will come in the future.
The rich area will reinforce some houses, but at most they will only reinforce their own houses, and they will definitely not care about them. It seems that Qi Yang will still suffer losses.
