Two days later, news of the base recruiting people had spread outside the base. In fact, there were already many bases of all sizes outside. These bases were basically organized by people from densely populated residential areas or groups of people. There were all kinds of bases, but none of them were official bases.
So the news of the establishment of the official base still attracted many people, but a large number of people hesitated after learning that 10 jin of grain was required. After all, it is very difficult to find food in the current situation, let alone 10 jin of grain.
This threshold eliminates many people, but in today's world, it's survival of the fittest, and only those with ability can survive.
The base doesn't support idlers. In addition to not having to pay rent, the original residents still have to do basic work. Otherwise, they won't be able to exchange for supplies without points. Items like water and electricity can only be obtained with points.
The original gate had a threshold set up by the authorities because the ground underneath was now frozen, so a lot of manpower was assigned to set up the gate.
Xia He saw a long queue outside the community. At this time, the clever ones would go and lead the way for the newcomers to the base and get paid. The payment was usually a sausage, a small bag of biscuits, or candy, whole grains or something like that.
Among the people leading the way, Xia He saw Xingxing, the little boy who used to live downstairs from her. At this time, Xingxing's clothes were very dirty and tattered.
His expression didn't betray that he was a little boy under 10 years old; at such a young age, his face was full of calculation.
Xia He felt a pang of sadness as she watched. In a world of natural disasters and apocalypse, it was truly difficult for an orphan to survive.
Xia He hadn't seen Xiao Lin for several days. Xiao Lin had been particularly busy lately, probably because the base had just been established and there were always big and small things waiting for him to handle.
Today, during the recruitment of new members, Xiao Lin appeared. He patrolled the crowd, checking for any safety hazards. After all, the outside world was no longer the peaceful haven before the apocalypse. Most of the people who survived outside had blood on their hands.
Therefore, as Xiao Lin walked, he carried a megaphone, continuously broadcasting the base's rules: "All those entering the base must abide by the base's regulations. Burning, killing, looting, and depriving others of their survival supplies are strictly prohibited. Anyone found doing so will be immediately expelled from the base, and those with serious offenses will be executed. All supplies entering the base must be redeemed through points..."
Xia He looked at this scene and almost laughed.
Xiao Lin already had a cold and aloof appearance, was about 188 cm tall, and had a strong physique. At this moment, he was wearing a green military overcoat, holding a large megaphone, and patrolling around. This was really too incongruous.
The main reason is that Xiao Lin has a cold and aloof appearance, but during patrols, in order to show friendliness and care to the new residents who have entered the base, he tries his best to be friendly. His height and solid physique stand out in his green military uniform, coupled with a deliberate smile on his cool face, and he is also holding a megaphone.
This scene is just too incongruous!
Xia He couldn't help but take out her phone to take a picture so she could laugh at him later, but at that time, even power was scarce, let alone a phone!
So Xia He could only laugh to herself inwardly.
