"Let's go in and take a look." Shao Jie took the lead and went in first.
Yu Yanbin then followed him inside.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Meng Yang said to the fickle Tian Tian and the others.
"Okay, Uncle Meng, let's go."
Cheng Shaolin took Li Xiao's hand and said, "Let's go inside too." He looked up at the sky and said, "The snow is getting heavy; it's good to go inside and take shelter."
"good."
And so, the group of people walked into the mission center.
The mission center is very large.
The mission center is very large and is divided into several office areas.
Li Xiao saw Yu Yanbin and Shao Jie standing at a window with a sign that read "Government Affairs Office".
Li Xiao looked to the side and saw a large sign that read "Mission Office," with two smaller signs below it that read "Accept Mission" and "Turn in Mission" respectively.
What's most unusual is that above the wall directly opposite the main entrance is a display screen, like those in a hospital, scrolling through information.
"Looking for cold-weather supplies, food payment."
"Search for firewood, settle the food bill."
"search……………………".
Various pieces of information scroll across the screen, making it difficult for viewers to keep up.
Even though it was snowing heavily, many people still gathered in this spacious hall, some whispering to each other, others watching the screen.
Only the windows of the government affairs office were empty; it was very quiet.
It's obvious that no one will be out and about at this time, so there's not much government business to handle.
It seems that only their team has something to do right now.
"Let's go take a look."
Cheng Shaolin pulled Li Xiao's hand and walked towards Yu Yanbin, wanting to hear what the situation was like at this base.
"That's how it is," the female staff member said.
"Okay, then show us where the nine people will be staying."
The young woman smiled and said, "Okay. Actually, there aren't many of you, so renting a small villa would be best. But there aren't any villas available right now. The only options are duplexes or... um, are you sure you want to live together? Have you thought about living separately? That would give you a lot more options."
Yu Yanbin hadn't expected housing to be so scarce at the Beijing base. He could have foreseen that there wouldn't be any villas available, but the fact that even a larger duplex was completely unexpected.
"What do you all think?" Yu Yanbin turned to ask the crowd.
Shao Jie also looked back; the current situation was somewhat unexpected.
Li Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Hello, do you have any two-story houses with multiple rooms?"
The young woman immediately smiled and said, "Yes, there really is."
Li Xiao smiled: "Oh, tell me about it."
"Well, there are several options. However, the difference lies in their geographical locations."
I glanced at this group of people; they were dressed very cleanly and looked very energetic. They didn't seem like ordinary people.
"As I just mentioned, the Beijing base is divided into the central city and the outer city. The outer city is further divided into several districts, and the people living in these districts are different."
"Large and powerful teams of superhumans usually live in Zone A, while smaller or weaker teams mostly live in Zone B, and then there's Zone C, which is a mixed bag with all sorts of people. Relatively speaking, the houses there are much cheaper."
Now everyone understands.
The young lady saw that these people were all quite impressive, so she wanted to curry favor with them.
In the apocalypse, everyone's shrewd and resourceful.
The young woman took out a map, pointed to it, and explained the lines to them.
"The central urban area is here, it's behind here."
Li Xiao looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, the central area was very large, and there should be a mountain range behind it.
"This middle road is Central Street. Area A is closer to the city center. Area B is closer to Area A, right here. See it?"
"Um."
"This side of area B is area C."
Looking at the map, the central urban area is at the very innermost part. Area A is next to the central urban area, Area B is next to Area A, and Area C is the outermost part, next to the city wall.
I understand.
Seeing that they understood, the young woman continued, "Area C is rather chaotic, so I don't think you'll go there."
Looking at the smiling young lady, no one said a word.
"It depends on whether you want to be in area A or area B."
"What is the rent like?"
The young woman smiled and said, "Area A is definitely much more expensive, costing 200 crystal cores a month, or equivalent resources."
Looking at the group of people, not seeing any expression on their faces, the young woman continued with a smile, "Sector B is cheaper, 100 crystal cores or equivalent resources. Of course, there must be a reason for the big difference, which you should know."
Looking at this map, who wouldn't understand?
The closer you get to the inside, the safer you are.
The further out you go, the more dangerous it becomes; that goes without saying.
If anything were to storm the base, the first to be hit would be those in Sector C, which is closest to the outer walls.
So, the safer a place is, the more expensive it is. Conversely, the most dangerous places are the cheapest.
Li Xiao glanced at Cheng Shaolin, and Cheng Shaolin looked down at her.
Which district do you want to go to?
"It'll definitely be a choice between Zone A and Zone B. Can we even get into the central urban area?"
As he spoke, he looked at the young woman.
The young woman smiled and said, "The city center isn't so easy to get into."
Looking into the young woman's meaningful eyes, Li Xiao understood.
Those places must be inhabited by some "important people".
Then, as if remembering something, he moved closer to the young lady.
The young woman looked at the pretty little girl curiously, not understanding what she wanted to do.
"Miss, can I ask you something?"
Girl: ?
"Are there any people with the surname Cheng in the base? The Cheng of Cheng Yaojin?"
The young lady readily replied, "Yes, which one are you asking about?"
Li Xiao: "There are several more?"
"Yes, the largest one is in the city center."
Li Xiao asked, "Could I ask what your name is?"
"That old man's name is Cheng Zhaonian."
Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin, then turned back and asked, "Is that all?"
Everyone else looked at Li Xiao, wondering what she meant by asking that question.
"There are some in Area A, and some in Area B. What's the name of the person you find?"
"Oh, okay, I see. It looks like it should be in area B. Thanks."
Everyone: “…”
Li Xiao ignored them and said, "Hurry up and choose, aren't you cold?"
"It's cold, of course it's cold."
"It's not cold, yet you're still dawdling."
"Didn't I ask you where you want to be?"
Li Xiao glanced at Shao Jie and said with dissatisfaction, "You all need to think about how you're going to ask me."
"Brother, do you prefer section A or section B?"
Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao and smiled, "Let's go to Area B, it's closer for missions."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's lips curled up.
Cheng Shaolin pinched her cheek and knew it.
After thinking about it, everyone agreed that Area B was a good choice.
