Bai Shuang turned to A Qiao's father and asked, "Do you know anything about the Tangcheng base?"
"I know a little. What aspect are you asking about?"
"How's the environment?"
"The living environment is acceptable, given the current conditions."
Whether it's the streets or the dormitories, the sanitation is handled quite well.
Those with better living conditions can live in nicer houses, while those without can be provided with free collective dormitories by the government. As long as they have the strength to earn food, they can still survive.
Currently, the entry fee to the base is 20 jin (10 catties) of grain per person.
Those who can currently produce 20 jin of grain are all capable individuals.
This is understandable. Resources are limited, so we can only protect those who are able to survive first. As for those who are not able to survive, they simply cannot survive the numerous natural disasters to come.
"As for the social environment, with powerful figures in the apocalypse holding power, there is no shortage of power struggles, and there are quite a few second-generation military and political figures with prominent positions."
However, the overall principle of sticking together for survival and providing shelter to survivors remains unchanged.
"Are you aware of the situation at the Kyoto base?"
"That place is far away, so not many people know about it."
All they knew was that discipline was strict, and those who broke the law or committed crimes would be executed on the spot for serious offenses, warned for minor offenses, and expelled from the base after three offenses.
By the way, I heard that the Kyoto base hospital is run by the Kang family, and the Bai family is being marginalized.
Bai Shuang nodded. She had heard this many times. The Bai family refers to the disciples of the Bai family and people who have worked for the Bai family. Almost all of them are doctors.
This is a special field of science and technology, and even if they say your technology is bad, the military leadership can't interfere.
Bai Shuang estimated that there, the Bai family doctors could only live the life of ordinary workers. They didn't need to. They would need the approval of the higher-level medical management department to open their own clinics. And the Kang family was the higher-level supervisor.
Moreover, they must also have control over the base's medicines and other supplies.
"Do you know what position Grandpa Lu Yu holds?"
"You mean, General Lu's grandfather, who once stationed troops in Tangcheng?"
Bai Shuang nodded. She only knew that Grandpa Lu was very powerful, but she didn't know his specific position. When Lu Yu was here, she didn't want to date and didn't look into it.
"He is the head of the Kyoto military base!"
"That's amazing?"
Mr. Wu smiled. "Didn't General Lu tell you? Well, his position is too high; saying it out loud would sound like showing off."
As a private investigator living in Yichen Tianfu, Mr. Wu couldn't possibly have missed the fact that Bai Shuang and Lu Yu had a past relationship.
"Mr. Wu is also very capable!"
The fact that he knows all this in Tang City suggests he has his own intelligence network.
"Thank you for telling me all this. What kind of work did you do before the disaster? Would you mind sharing that?"
"There's nothing I can't reveal to Miss Bai. I'm an A-level private investigator."
"I admire you! No wonder you know so much. I'll ask you for help with anything I want to know in the future."
"You flatter me. It's the same to me. I'm happy to serve Miss Bai."
Bai Shuang: "There's one more thing I want to ask you. I have a senior martial uncle whose Chinese name is Li Hengkai and English name is Mike. Have you heard of him?"
"Is there a wealthy man in the villa area surnamed Li?"
Most likely, there are very few people with the surname Li in Qin Province. Besides, Bai Shuang's uncles are all very capable, so it's not surprising that they are wealthy.
\"Thanks!"
Bai Shuang and the others were about to get up and leave when Mr. Wu hurriedly said, "Miss Bai, I have a favor to ask of you. Is it convenient for you?"
"What is it? Tell me."
Mr. Wu: "Could you please give me some other medicine?"
"Okay, but we won't exchange supplies for it. We'll pay you back in wages. I'll use your money later."
Mr. Wu nodded, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said, "I know Miss Bai looks down on my supplies."
Bai Shuang certainly looked down on the expired supplies he had stored, but to other survivors they were incredibly precious and life-saving items.
"But I admire your investigative skills."
A leader doesn't need to be perfect in every aspect, but must know how to use people effectively and have a comprehensive view of the overall situation.
Bai Shuang and the others stood up. "We won't disturb you any longer. I'll prepare the medicine for you."
By the way, the monkey fruit seeds I gave you last time are plantable; no heating is needed. They were picked from the snow. I'll also send you a vine; you can plant it in a flowerpot and put it on your balcony.
After learning about the situation at Tangcheng Base, Bai Shuang and her team went there the next day. Since it wasn't snowing, they simply flew there and got there in about twenty minutes.
Bai Jiu: "We've arrived! It's so cool to have an airplane."
We parked in a slightly remote spot, put away the aircraft, switched to a snowmobile, and headed straight for the gate of the Tangcheng base.
Bai Shuang and the others don't live at the base permanently, so they don't need to pay food rations. Their points cards have already been issued in Longcheng and are valid nationwide.
The gatekeeper, a man of many experience, noticed the stark contrast between the three men's attire and imposing presence, along with the snowmobile and snow leopard, and the ordinary survivors' hunger, cold, and tattered clothes.
The service was excellent. They explained everything without us having to ask, and when they heard that we weren't familiar with the base, they even gave us a map.
Circle the research institute and villa area that Bai Shuang and her team are going to, and draw the most convenient route.
Bai Shuang: "Do you know what the current director of the Agricultural Research Institute's surname is?"
"It seems his surname is Wei."
It's always easier to get things done with Director Wei.
The two young men were so attentive that Bai Shuang had a lot of trouble. When she left, she gave them two packs of biscuits.
Upon entering the gate, one finds military and police officers on duty along every roadside, with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, and five-star red flags planted at intervals along the road.
Bai Jiu asked curiously, "Miss, I feel something's not right here. Is it usually this strict?"
Bai Chang: "It's none of our business."
Bai Chang has now deeply inherited Bai Shuang's true teachings, knowing that if it doesn't concern him, he should stay out of it.
The group first went to the Agricultural Research Institute to find Director Wei.
"Who did I think it was? Miss Bai is here. Come in, come in and warm up," everyone kept saying.
Bai Shuang smiled and said, "You're wondering when I'll bring you good luck?"
Bai Shuang walked in chatting and laughing with Director Wei. Academician Liu and the others heard Bai Shuang's voice and came out to see what was going on. Liu Xiaoyang was also there.
"Hello, Miss Bai."
Bai Jiu said wistfully, "I really want to have sex!"
Academician Wang (Old Man Cannon) went to the Kyoto base with Lu Yu last time.
When Wenwen heard that Bai Shuang had arrived, she ran out and grabbed her hand.
"Shuangshuang, why don't you come to the base? I miss you so much!"
The snow leopard seems to have grown even bigger.
They are considered public servants here and have a fixed income, so they all look quite well.
This place is much more convenient than the Longcheng base. The director and many scientists are acquaintances here, so I have complete faith in them.
Bai Shuang took out a bag of monkey fruit and shared it with everyone. After explaining her purpose, Director Wei immediately consulted with his superiors, and Bai Shuang received 10,000 points.
"It looks like martial law is in effect outside. What's the reason?"
Director Wei: "I heard that higher-level leaders are coming to inspect."
