Chapter 634: The Great Tang Dynasty. Check-in Trouble
Chu An suddenly remembered that at the refugee gathering place he had just passed by, there was a broken bicycle parked outside a plastic shed.
"Old Chu, Gu Ye, you two wait here for me. I'm going to check out Sheng Shiyi Tiao."
"What are you looking at?" asked Lao Chu.
"I was going to change my bike and I just saw it there."
"Then let's go together." Lao Chu always felt that the outer city was unsafe, of course, it was only for his own safety. "Just now at the Public Security Bureau, I heard that there have been a lot of thieves recently, and some people have died."
Then let’s do it together.
The three of them walked back together. The porridge had already been distributed at the refugee gathering place, and those who ate quickly had already started licking their bowls.
The person who cooked the porridge was the last one to eat. After taking two sips, he saw Chu An and others coming. He immediately became alert and asked the people around him to stand up.
"What are you going to do?" asked the man who was cooking porridge with a cold face.
Such a big reaction?
Gu Ye stepped forward, without further ado, "We want to buy that bicycle, name a price."
When the people around heard Gu Ye's words, they sneered, "What a new country bumpkin."
"Can't buy it?" Gu Ye didn't feel embarrassed. Just because they didn't understand the rules now didn't mean they wouldn't understand them in the future.
"Private transactions are not allowed in the outer city." The porridge cook said, "Hurry up and go to a cool place."
I see.
"Then where are we going to buy things?" Gu Ye continued to ask.
The porridge cook wanted to eat quickly, so he took a deep breath and said, "If you want to buy something, go to the mall on Fifth Avenue. If you want to take on tasks and redeem points, go to Third Avenue. If you want to rent a house, go to First Avenue and look around. Don't bother me."
Gu Ye looked at Chu An, and Chu An nodded. There was no other way, so he had to rely on his legs.
The three of them panted as they walked towards the edge, and finally found a deserted place, probably where Twenty-one or Twelve were.
The area where there should have been buildings turned into countless small mounds of earth, extending across two streets all the way to the wall.
"This is..." Old Chu took a breath, "A cemetery."
There are no walls or fences around the mound, but there are many wooden tablets erected, and a few are stone tablets; a few of them have the life story and the person who erected the tablets written on them, but most of them only have the name of the deceased.
A path has been trampled out in the direction of progress, and it may be often walked on by people. After all, there are no taboos in the end times.
They didn't want to walk two streets to get around, so the three of them bowed to each other and quietly stepped onto the path. Halfway through, Chu An found that there were no surveillance cameras around, so he quickly took out an electric motorcycle from the space.
The car would run over the grave mounds nearby, this path is really narrow.
Fortunately, no one cared about overloading. Gu Ye was driving and Lao Chu sat in the back. Chu An took out a small plastic stool and sat on the foot pedal. It was better than walking anyway.
…
An hour later, the three finally arrived at No. 33 Avenue, the First Avenue.
Their daily rental house is not in a remote corner. You can see it as soon as you arrive at Sheng 33rd Street. It is the RiRiJiuJiu Guesthouse, a single-family house facing the street. There are two groups of people moving luggage at the door.
One group is two girls, and the other group is a family of three. It is rare to see a family of three together nowadays.
They rented a cart together and carried a lot of luggage, including seven or eight wooden boxes.
Gu Ye didn't dare to leave the electric bike outside, so he found a cool place to wait while Chu An and Lao Chu went in to check in.
The front desk directly said there were no rooms.
Chu An handed over the resident card and said, "I have already made a reservation."
The front desk clerk hesitated for a moment, then placed the card on the card reader. The information inside immediately popped up, even the room number had been assigned.
The room on the third floor, Room 309, is 20 square meters and is considered to be a relatively spacious room.
The receptionist pouted and reluctantly checked me in. Finally, she placed the key on the table and took out a registration book for Chu An to sign.
Chu An asked Lao Chu to call Gu Ye.
"How many people are staying here?" the receptionist asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Three people."
"Three people need extra points," the receptionist said unkindly.
"How many points to add?"
"One point per person."
"Then will you add an extra bed?"
"Of course not." The front desk hated receiving these newcomers the most, and had to explain everything. And this was the last room, and she thought no one would stay there, so she kept it for herself.
"If you don't add an extra bed, you'll only charge one point. This is too expensive." Lao Chu tried to bargain.
"Is this expensive?" The receptionist took the key back from the counter. "If you think it's expensive, you can find a cheaper one yourself."
Her second uncle and his family also came today. They originally wanted to stay in an apartment on Fifth Avenue, but when they got there they said it was too expensive and wanted to come to her place.
Just now her mother came specially and told her to reserve a room. It was not because she was very close to her second uncle, but because she wanted to save face.
Before, their family spent all their money to enter the Shengtang Base and were ridiculed by their second uncle's family for half a year.
"Stay here." The family of three came in, and the father persuaded Chu An, "We have already searched three streets, and there are no vacant daily rental houses."
Two little girls also came in, and the taller one said, "Everyone guessed that the weather was getting cold, so suddenly more people came to Sheng Tang."
Chu An tried hard to recall the time when winter came in his previous life. It was indeed early December, and the temperature dropped rapidly. It reached minus 40 degrees Celsius in three days, and then dropped to minus 60 degrees Celsius. It was not as extreme cold as before.
But this temperature is also very unbearable for ordinary people with incomplete facilities. The sun shines for only six hours a day, and ordinary solar panels can hardly store electricity. All the furniture in the house that can be burned has been burned, and the body has long been damaged. If they don’t come to the base, they will die.
"We'll stay." Chu An asked the front desk to deduct points directly, "Two days."
The front desk clerk rolled her eyes angrily. She said that she didn't have enough points to stay for three days. She also glared at the family of three and two little girls. She was really nosy.
Alas, my second uncle and his family will have to deal with it in the hall for two days.
Chu An is not afraid of having no place to live. These people said that there is no place to live just because there is no cost-effective one. As long as there are enough points, anyone can live there and anyone can buy one.
Lao Chu went out to call Gu Ye. When they came back, the front desk clerk disagreed again when they saw the electric motorcycle. If they wanted to park the electric motorcycle, they had to add another point.
This time it's a bit too much.
Just as Old Chu was about to explain, he was stopped by Chu An. Adhering to the view that there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary, he waved his hand and said, "Stop, just deduct the points."
The receptionist slammed the key on the counter and said, "It's not enough, you still need one point."
Lao Chu handed over his resident card and said, "Take it from me."
drop--
No credit line!
Before Lao Chu exploded, Gu Ye hurriedly handed over his residence permit and swiped the card successfully.
Chu An took the key and went straight upstairs. The third floor was not high, and there were no stairs so he didn’t feel tired, and he was in a good mood.
The other two groups, a family of three lived on the fifth floor, and two little girls lived on the seventh floor, and they all had a lot of luggage.
The tall girl bit her lip when she saw Gu Ye moving the electric bike easily. She wanted to ask him for help, but in the end she didn't have the courage to speak.
They used to be the most beautiful girls in the department when they were in college, but now they are pale and thin, with patches on their clothes. Looking at the sunny and handsome boy in front of them, they feel a little shy and inferior.
"Wenyan, you are too cowardly." The shorter girl smoothed her greasy hair and hurriedly caught up with Gu Ye, "Hello, little brother, are you busy later?"
Gu Ye heard someone talking, but he didn't expect it was him. He kept walking upstairs. It was probably because the electric car was too big and the stairs were too narrow. She was still three steps away from Gu Ye.
"Um...little brother, did you hear me?" The short one refused to give up.
Chu An just happened to walk around the corner and stroked Gu Ye's dog head. Gu Ye gave her a big smile in return.
Chu An saw from the corner of his eye that the two girls stopped talking and stood still with their lips pursed.
A family of three was also moving things upstairs, but they were very tired. The Bai Gang definitely couldn't do it, but if they could afford the points, they wouldn't have to live here.
