"By the way, sister-in-law, you don't have an ID card yet, do you? I'll take you to register for one. It'll be easier for you to come and go, won't it? Besides, you need an ID card to enter the elevator or go anywhere else."
Xia He agreed, saying that she couldn't climb the 32nd floor every day.
Xia He followed Hai Dong to the second floor of the office building. The second floor was originally a large single-level floor, but now it has been transformed into a service hall. The hall is decorated in a modern style, with white walls and wooden floors, LED lights on the ceiling, and heating.
On one side of the lobby, there is a row of service counters, but there is only one computer and communication equipment.
Behind the service desk, soldiers in green uniforms are currently handling various services such as points redemption and identity processing. Hai Dong said that these people will all be replaced by residents of the base later, just like their jobs before the apocalypse, except that the salary will be changed from money to points. The original residents do not pay rent. The base has recently sent out recruitment notices. New residents will initially have free dormitory accommodation for one month. After one month, they will have to exchange points for accommodation. Residents can work or go out to scavenge and collect supplies to exchange for points, after all, the base cannot support idle people.
In the center of the hall, there was a screen, which was essentially a whiteboard, displaying the latest base notices, base rules and regulations, important events, etc. The surrounding walls were covered with notice boards, providing information on the distribution of various resources.
One side of the lobby also has a rest area, which consists of some simple sofas and tables and chairs for people to rest and wait.
Hai Dong led Xia He to the only computer service counter and said to the person on duty, "Ah Huang, this is our sister-in-law. I brought her here to get her ID card."
The soldier, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up and looked at Xia He excitedly, "Hello, sister-in-law! My name is Wang Haohuang, everyone calls me Ah Huang, you can call me Ah Huang too!"
Xia He wanted to say that she wasn't their sister-in-law, but she felt that this title would be convenient within the base, so she simply accepted it. She gave Ah Huang a polite smile and asked how to get an identity card.
The identification tags inside the base are similar to ID cards from before the apocalypse. The identification tag is like a badge that can be hung on clothing. It has a photo, name, address, etc. Different people have different colored identification tags. For example, military personnel have green identification tags, ordinary residents have white identification tags, government employees have yellow identification tags, and government leaders have black identification tags.
Xia He had expected her identity tag to be white, but to her surprise, she was given a black one. This terrified her, as she was just an ordinary resident!
Seeing Xia He's reaction, Ah Huang quickly said, "Sister-in-law, this was specially ordered by the base commander. Having this ID card will make things much easier within the base."
So Xia He accepted it. After all, she just wanted to be a lazy bum. Now that someone was protecting her, she could just eat and wait to die without having to do anything. The feeling of being specially taken care of wherever she went seemed pretty good.
After all, no one would refuse convenience.
Hai Dong then took them to see the other buildings. In addition to the residential dormitories that had been converted, there was another building specifically used for growing vegetables. Yes, growing vegetables.
It is said to be a cold-resistant plant specially developed by researchers. Currently, it can only grow mushrooms, and these mushrooms are grown from dead people. According to the researchers, these mushrooms look like ordinary mushrooms, except for some black spots, and their taste is actually no different from ordinary mushrooms.
