Sun Jingtao turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Wait a minute, little brother, it will be ready soon!"
In the end, several people rented a small two-story courtyard similar to a villa according to Jiang Yan's wishes. The building area of the room is only more than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, plus a small garden of the same size.
Although it is not as spacious as a villa, it is far enough for them, and if they live alone, there will be fewer people coveting it, and it will be much safer.
The rental period is tentatively set at half a month.
Hearing that the rent is only a bag of 500g fried rice, plus three shriveled potatoes with sprouts and two half-dried water snakes, Jiang Yan was secretly surprised for a second.
Nowadays, supplies are so precious.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan asked Su Dai and Sun Jingtao, who have more life experience, to negotiate the rent.
The two are good at bargaining.
According to her own style, it is likely that she will be a sucker and give away a lot of things.
"The young man said that the valuable thing is the sprouted shriveled potatoes. Because he can exchange them for several kilograms of rice." Su Dai said. Jiang
Yan: "."
After the young man who rented the house confirmed the house, he took out a bunch of keys with numbers and room numbers from his backpack and handed them to Sun Jingtao and others. He immediately resumed his previous politeness and said politely:
"Young men and women, someone will come here to take you to the base soon. He can help you carry some supplies and then give you a detailed introduction to the situation in the base. Just give him some food, similar to a tip or something."
After saying that, he turned around and waved to the shore not far away, and shouted "Uncle San!" A man of medium build in his forties stood up and walked towards them.
He had a bright red work badge on his chest, which was very conspicuous in the dark and depressing world.
Su Dai glanced at the young man, "Brother, aren't you going to lead us there? What if he doesn't know the way and leads us astray?" How can he care about death but not burial.
"Hehe, little sister, I'm just a customer-puller. I'm weak and can't do heavy work. Don't worry, my uncle will take you to the room. We are all a family, and we have registered with the base. We won't blackmail you."
The young man smiled and explained, then turned around with the A4 paper and walked quickly towards another speedboat that had just parked behind them.
"Hello, I'm Lao Xue, and I'll be responsible for taking you into the residential area of the base." As soon as the few people put on their backpacks, the man came forward and took the initiative to take a luggage bag from Jiang Yan's hand.
He didn't wear a mask, but used a wool scarf to wrap around his face, keeping warm while covering his mouth and face.
Although only a pair of eyes were exposed, he looked honest.
Several people nodded, picked up their luggage, followed him, and went ashore.
There was still a distance of more than 50 meters from the shore to the registration office at the entrance of the base.
The small area was crowded with people, noisy and messy.
Bargaining, quarreling, crying children, men scolding. It was more crowded than a market.
In addition, there were sneezes and coughs.
Many people did not wear masks or scarves, nor did they have the consciousness to cover their mouths.
Black and gray droplets were visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Yan suddenly understood why those gunmen were fully armed.
"We have to walk faster." She reminded in a low voice.
Several people quickened their pace at the same time.
When they were less than ten meters away from the entrance of the base, a five or six-year-old girl with messy hair stopped looking at Su Dai, and then suddenly ran towards her like crazy.
Before Su Dai could react, the other party hugged her calf: "Auntie, please, give me something to eat."
Everyone: "."
"Auntie has no food, and I'm still hungry." Su Dai wanted to lift her legs, but saw that the child sat down on the back of her feet with experience.
"You are lying, you all have money to rent a small villa, how can you have no food. Auntie, just give me a candy. Please." The little girl said pitifully, and raised her eyes to look at Lao Xue.
Several people stared at each other.
Looking to the side, they found that those who entered the base with people like Lao Xue all had signs on their chests.
It's just that the color is different.
It seems that these different signs correspond to entering different rental areas.
Invisibly, these survivors who have just arrived in Xiangcheng have been divided into different levels.
This was tantamount to exposing her own material situation in public.
Su Dai was somewhat amused and said, "Little boy, Auntie really doesn't have any, get up quickly."
It was not that she was reluctant to give it, but she had already seen other children looking at her with eager eyes.
In this environment, once one was given, the rest would definitely rush over.
The little girl snorted unreasonably, "If Auntie doesn't give me candy, I won't get up!"
Su Dai: "."
"Ah? Uncle, what are you doing?!" The little girl suddenly screamed in pain and turned her head to look at Sun Jingtao who was lifting the collar of her clothes.
Sun Jingtao frowned and said nothing.
As soon as he lifted the child and put it aside, twenty or thirty men and women who were originally sitting on the ground suddenly stood up with fierce eyes and some large black stones in their hands and surrounded them.
Their clothes were full of dirt and dried blood stains, and they exuded a strong sour smell, as if they had been pickled in a garbage dump for ten days or half a month.
Seeing this, the little girl lay on the ground in pain, as if she had been poisoned. She shook her arms and legs and pointed at Sun Jingtao and shouted, "Woo woo! Murder! Murder!!"
Jiang Yan glanced at the soldiers holding guns at the gate of the base, but saw that they turned a deaf ear to what was happening here.
She looked at Lao Xue, "Lao Xue, the soldiers here don't care about the public security outside?"
"This--" Lao Xue looked embarrassed and hesitated for a second, then he shrank his eyes and whispered,
"They are responsible for maintaining the safety of the base from being violated. The rest is not within their jurisdiction. The group of people opposite are all desperate criminals who randomly pick on refugees every day. You should be careful. If it doesn't work, just give them some supplies and keep things quiet."
Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: Good guy, this is a scammer next to me.
Sun Jingtao turned around and exchanged glances with Jiang Yan and others.
They have hot weapons and force, and any one person is more than enough to deal with these scammers.
But it was obviously not possible to deal with it so simply and roughly at this moment, after all, there were many people around.
The only way was to shock the other party first.
Just thinking this, Jiang Yan took out a bloodstained and curled butcher knife from her backpack.
Ye Qing and Sun Jingtao were about to touch the small hammer, but they saw a rose red Mercedes-Benz G at the entrance of the base, raising a cloud of black dust and driving out at lightning speed. (End of this chapter)
