Chapter 170 Shared Rental



For a moment, people were filled with despair.

He Xiaobei even saw someone rushing out of their home during a thunderstorm, kneeling in the rain and angrily scolding God, asking why it happened like this.

Under normal circumstances, if we heard the news of an earthquake, we would just find an open space to live in for a while.

But not now.

The thunderstorms that come from time to time outside make it impossible for people to stay outdoors for a long time.

The good news is that the base has announced the earthquake resistance level of the base’s houses, and the base asked everyone to stay at home as much as possible.

But just because a house won't collapse doesn't mean it's safe.

For a while, everyone started to prevent earthquakes using their own methods.

Qing Yuansi called again, and the signal was even intermittent:

"Xiaobei, natural disasters may become more and more severe in the future. The government may not even be able to accurately predict them. After almost a year of observation in Kyoto, we have come to a bad conclusion: natural disasters may be worse than we imagined."

"Unpredictable? How bad would that be?"

"It's hard to say. It's possible that the Earth will no longer be suitable for human survival in many years. So do you want to come to Kyoto? After all, it's the center of economy and politics. All the advanced equipment and cutting-edge news will be here, so there's always more hope than elsewhere."

After hanging up the phone, He Xiaobei fell into deep thought.

The old man knew that she had water-related abilities, so while others might not be able to go to Kyoto, she shouldn't have any problems in this kind of weather.

Qi Yang also called again, but this time he asked He Xiaobei if he could help him rent a house first. He was on his way to the official base.

But heavy rains hampered his progress and he might have to wait for several days.

There are so many people coming here that he is worried about the shortage of housing.

He Xiaobei readily agreed, but there were only 5,000 points left in her card.

So I took out some supplies from the space and went to the supply exchange office when the thunderstorm stopped.

He used the points he exchanged in total and went to a housing rental office to rent a townhouse for Qi Yang with the same layout as his own.

He even generously paid the other party's rent for half a year to accumulate points.

Qi Yang arrived at the official base half a month after he paid the rent. He Xiaobei learned about it in advance and went to the base gate to greet him.

Looking at Qi Yang in front of her, she was even a little hesitant to recognize him.

He only brought Aaron and two other people who had always been with him.

He Xiaobei was a little disappointed that the Qian couple were not there. He had originally thought of borrowing them.

Qi Yang's long hair was wet by the rain and stuck to his cheeks, and stubble had grown on his chin.

Although the rain washed his face, it was easy to see that he looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight.

Qi Yang did not ask to stay temporarily at He Xiaobei's place, but went directly to the house that He Xiaobei rented for him.

Several people carrying large bags followed her all the way to the villa area.

The house is not decorated and is just a bare shell.

They didn't care about it, as they were already exhausted from traveling for days.

He took off his raincoat, took out his sleeping bag and fell into it.

Qi Yang was in a similar condition. He Xiaobei was afraid that they had no supplies, so he asked about it. Unexpectedly, Qi Yang simply opened the zipper of his backpack.

For a moment, He Xiaobei was almost blinded by the sight, as the box was filled with gold.

She looked up at Qi Yang in surprise. After all, gold is very heavy.

She was wondering how he had carried so much gold all the way here, but she suddenly thought of a question.

Before she came to the base, Qi Yang often ate her food on the 30th floor and even stayed at her place for a few days.

In other words, he ate a lot of water from the space and food cooked with the water from the space, so his physical condition should have improved a lot.

Then she fell silent and didn't ask any more questions.

After a simple tidying up, Qi Yang said that his men were all there and he would not go to He Xiaobei's place.

He Xiaobei thought this was a good idea, but he still pretended to go back to his home and took out a lot of meat and vegetables from the space and sent them to them.

When chatting with Qi Yang, she learned that the Qian couple stayed at the Baishan base.

They didn't come because their bodies simply couldn't withstand such weather.

Qi Yang sold all his things in the Baishan base, left the house to them, and came here after making arrangements for his subordinates.

The weather is getting warmer, and although it is raining outside, the decoration inside the supplies can still be carried out.

For a moment, the villa area was filled with the sound of knocking and banging.

Even if an earthquake really comes, there is nothing much to keep in the house, just simple decoration, so it doesn't matter.

We can't just do nothing because an earthquake may come at any time.

In that case, they might starve to death before the earthquake even comes.

After all, Qi Yang has been doing business for so long, so he has some foresight. He contacted the decoration team here before coming to the base.

Fortunately, he asked He Xiaobei to help him rent a house in advance, because there are only a few houses left in the villa area now.

Many people have no choice but to settle for the second best and rent a larger flat downstairs.

Even so, in just one month, the houses in the base were basically full.

The houses in the coffin room area were also severely damaged in the previous riots and have not yet been repaired.

There is no other way, people without houses can only knock on doors from house to house.

Ask the other party how many people there are, and then discuss whether you can share the rent.

Due to heavy rain and thunderstorms, many people were unable to go out and earn points.

Now the supplies in the base are very expensive. Having someone to share part of the rent can also reduce a lot of expenses. Most people have no choice but to choose to share the rent.

But after all, they were not people they trusted, so friction was inevitable when they shared a house.

Some people simply have no supplies left and will do anything out of desperation.

So for a moment, the base became chaotic again.

Various robberies and thefts occur frequently, and there are casualties every day.

He Xiaobei watched Tang Zhou go out early and come back late every day, and was also infected by the tense atmosphere.

There was also a knock on her door. It was a well-dressed couple.

They came from the White Mountain Base and previously lived in the flat below.

But the security situation has been bad recently, so I was thinking about whether I could find a roommate in the villa area.

Seeing that she lived alone, he wanted to find a roommate and asked for the living room on the first floor. He Xiaobei refused on the spot.

As a result, the woman refused to give in and started making a loud noise outside her door. All the neighbors who had been staying at home came out to watch the show.

The patrol team arrived soon, and the woman started throwing a tantrum at them on the ground.

They said it was a waste of base resources for her to live in such a big house alone.

He Xiaobei was in no mood to argue with her, so he just went up and slapped her, sending her flying.

The patrol team was also very tactful and quickly dragged the two away.

They even sent someone to keep an eye on her, under the pretext of preventing anyone from disturbing her again.
