It is not uncommon for new real estate projects not to be updated on the map in a timely manner.
Huo Yishen explained the approximate direction of the rescue, and Jiang Ning had a vague idea that it must be southwest.
The newly developed zone in that area belongs to the direction of urban expansion. There are indeed new buildings and the area is relatively spacious.
Huo Yishen was driving and Jiang Ning was sitting next to him giving directions.
When we arrived at the development zone, we saw abandoned buildings, dried-up rivers, and cracked land everywhere.
Driving the car onto the overpass and taking out binoculars to search, Jiang Ning found several buildings with signs of life and then eliminated the old buildings.
I drove around and it was indeed Aoyuan.
It is a riverside mansion, and the main entrance is designed to be luxurious and artistic.
There are more than ten buildings inside, and the distance between them is very large.
If the natural disaster had not occurred, the starting price of a house here would be at least five million.
Although the building is large, from what I observed, there are not many people living here. I didn’t expect that there is such a different world inside.
There is a security booth at the gate, and there are six security guards on duty.
It's not quite right to call them security guards. Judging from their clothes, they should be residents of the community. When they saw the Hummer parked at the door, they immediately became alert and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning poked his head out and smiled warmly, "Brother, we are out looking for a house. Do you have any house for rent?"
Renting a house? Everyone was still on guard. "Where are you from? Why are you renting a house?"
"We live near a university town, and the house we live in has cracks and is no longer safe."
Everyone discussed in a low voice, "There is a house, but you have to pay rent, and you have to interview."
Shocked, renting an apartment requires an interview? Jiang Ning was surprised, but also understandable. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable in the end times. Who dares to let others in easily? What if it's a wolf in sheep's clothing?
However, the Aoyuan community seems quite united, and even arranged residents to guard the gate.
Unlike Jinrong Community, anyone can come in, the gate is wide open and no one cares.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but become interested, "How much is the monthly rent?"
"It varies from 10 to 20 kilograms of food each month, depending on the situation."
Jiang Ning was careful, "Coarse grains?"
After getting a positive answer, she asked again: "When is the interview?"
"Wait here, I'll go and notify them now."
Before coming, Huo Yishen had already driven around Aoyuan. The entire community was surrounded by a wall with broken glass stuck on the top of the wall. There were also residents taking turns on duty, so it seemed that the community had a strong sense of safety precautions.
Although sitting in the car, Jiang Ning was secretly observing the people guarding the gate.
Although people's hearts are filled with mystery, appearances are determined by the heart. After struggling in the apocalyptic natural disasters for a long time, sometimes you can really see some clues.
The car windows were covered with anti-peep film. Even though they were also looking at him, Jiang Ning sensed their vigilance and caution, but did not sense any malice.
What's more, there is a big shot who knows lip reading sitting next to him.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but look forward to the Aoyuan community.
After waiting for about half an hour, the interviewer finally arrived.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties. The grey T-shirt he wore was a bit old but very clean. His thin, square face revealed a bit of elegance.
He walked out of the neighborhood and the two of them got out of the car.
Huo Yishen's memory became clear. He was the man who led the community members to form a rescue team after the earthquake.
The man held out his hand. "Do you two plan to rent a house?"
Huo Yishen shook his hand and said, "Yes, I want to come and see you."
The weather was too hot, and sweat was pouring out of his body in a moment. The man invited the two people into the guard booth and introduced himself: "My last name is He Tianming, you can just call me Lao He, what are your names?"
"My last name is Huo."
He Tianming asked everyone to sit down and handed over two brown fans.
Waving a fan, He Tianming asked about every detail, including age, gender, address, hometown, family members...
Jiang Ning frowned, "We just want to rent a house, are you checking our household registration?"
"Sorry, you misunderstood." He Tianming explained: "It wasn't long after the completion of Aoyuan Phase I, and the natural disaster came unexpectedly. At that time, I and several other owners had just moved in, and the other houses were all empty.
It was difficult to support the community alone, so several of our families banded together to survive. Later, we took in more people. So far, there are about a hundred people in the community.
The current living environment is harsh and people's hearts are even more unpredictable. Although our community is rented out, not everyone can come in.
As long as we live in Aoyuan, we will become one big family, so the screening of the guests will be extremely strict.
I was a psychological counselor before the disaster, so I took on the job of interviewing people. I hope that everyone who moves in here is a good person and can feel at home here.”
It turns out he is a psychological counselor. No wonder he can make judgments about the tenants’ personality through conversation, just like checking their household registration.
Although it was just a simple conversation, it could help him filter out 70% to 80% of the survivors with ill intentions, thus keeping the danger out.
The interview continued. He Tianming first asked Huo Yishen, "What kind of job did Mr. Huo do before the natural disaster?"
"Special police, retired due to injury."
Upon learning about his profession, He Tianming became very interested and asked many related questions.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, it was Jiang Ning's turn. She introduced herself, "I grew up in an orphanage, I don't have any relatives, and I'm a student in the medical school."
He Tianming looked at Jiang Ning for a few times, "If you move in, besides taking care of a child, will you also keep a pet?"
Pet? Jiang Ning was surprised.
He Tianming smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a dog, and it's a Malinois."
It was extremely hot weather, but Jiang Ning felt cold all over. How did he know?
