Get the news
The two came to the street. There were several stalls on both sides of the street, selling daily necessities such as notebooks, pencils, candles, iron pots, rice bowls, small stools, etc.
This place is close to the North District Base, and most people don't dare to cause trouble here.
They are easily caught and forced to work as unpaid laborers, and the jobs they do are the hardest and most tiring, which helps to eliminate some criminals.
Grandpa Li took out two pieces of hard candy from his pocket and asked, "Can I exchange this piece of candy for that pencil?"
The old man raised his head and said happily, "Okay."
The old man carefully put the candy into his pocket with great care and squeezed it with his hand.
"You two are not from here, are you?" The dry old man was in a good mood and asked casually.
"yes."
"Where did you come from?"
"S City."
"Oh, City S is quite far from here!"
“Yeah, it’s not easy to get here.”
"Brother, when will the A city base be completed?"
"It's almost done. It will be finished in about ten days."
“It’s pretty fast.”
"People work every day without stopping, so of course it's fast, and there are many machines. Don't forget that China is a country with a large infrastructure. During the epidemic, it took only 12 days to build the Leishenshan Hospital."
Grandpa Li deeply agreed with this, it was indeed so.
The two went to the base construction site again.
A large number of construction machines are in operation and a large number of construction workers are working.
The magnitude of the project and the grand scale of its layout are beyond imagination, and I am deeply shocked.
The tall outer wall is rising from the ground.
Guo Yuan and his brother-in-law also went to the base to find a job that suited them. Instead of working and waiting and wasting supplies, it would be better to work while waiting and earn some food.
His brother-in-law found a job as a driver, transporting some waste materials and other construction waste.
Guo Yuan found a job driving an excavator, which was easier than his job as a brother-in-law.
Finally, the base was completed after ten days.
When Fang Xin arrived at the outskirts of the base, he was already surrounded by many survivors.
The faces of many survivors were filled with anticipation and joy, and looking at the magnificent base gave them a full sense of security.
Fang Xin and his companions waited at the door for more than an hour before a few staff members came out.
One person held a loudspeaker in his hand and put it to his mouth, "Those who want to enter the base should line up, don't crowd, everyone is qualified to enter the base."
"Line up in two, don't crowd, don't crowd."
"Please queue up in an orderly manner and avoid crowding."
The staff worked hard to maintain order on site.
After he finished shouting, he threw the loudspeaker to his colleagues and pointed at Fang Xin and the others, "You guys come in first."
Then he turned around and reminded his colleagues.
"You can let two or three people in to register at once. Don't let too many people in at once. Got it?"
"Okay, I get it, go ahead."
It wasn’t that the staff liked Fang Xin, but that the man was Guo Yuan.
He was unexpectedly noticed by the manager. Guo Yuan, sensing an opportunity, quickly gave the manager a gift and got a registration job.
Anyone entering the base needs to register, so it is not easy to get unemployed.
Although the salary is not very high, at least it is a stable income.
How many people rack their brains to find a job that is easy and not tiring, and they can make money just by sitting in the office.
Fang Xin couldn't help but sigh, it's true that people with ability can get along well wherever they go.
She turned the steering wheel and finally drove into the base.
After parking the car, several people followed Guo Yuan into the registration room.
This is why it is so easy to get things done with someone. Even the registration process is done first, so you don’t have to wait.
The registration room is about 20 square meters, with a few chairs on the side and a desk in the front. There are actually two computers on the desk.
His brother-in-law came into the room and looked around, "Brother-in-law, your working environment is good, spacious and comfortable." His eyes lit up when he saw the desktop computer.
"There are office computers here. Is there electricity in the base?"
"Of course it is powered by electricity. The base uses wind power to generate electricity, and this computer is also connected to the Internet."
"Hurry up and take out your ID cards. You're the only one who talks too much. After you register, go and look at the house and stuff."
The four of them, two adults and two children, immediately took out their ID cards.
It took only a few minutes to register.
Hand over the identity cards of several people from the A City base.
This card is the pass to the A City Base, which contains personal information and points information.
The base currency is now all in the form of points, and the previous money is completely useless.
Guo Yuan looked up at Grandpa Li and the others, "Brother, this is yours."
Fang Xin and the other two took out their ID cards. Guo Yuan took the ID cards and entered them into the computer one by one.
There are many elites in the A City base, so it is not easy to restore the network.
Just check your ID card in the database and your identity will be clearly identified.
If you want to enter the base, you must register and enter the system information.
Guo Yuan's fingers flew across the keyboard, and he quickly entered the information and handed three identity cards to several people.
Several people reached out to take it. It was a white card, a bit like the meal card in the school cafeteria, and also a bit like the network card used in Internet cafes at the beginning. It was a quite thick white card.
This card is cheap to make and has low cost. It only contains a chip and can be used with just a swipe.
Several people put their ID cards in their pockets.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask my colleague to take you to the housing area to look at the houses, and try to check in as early as possible."
“You can exchange supplies for points and then use them to pay rent.”
"You'd better not rent a house in the outer areas. Although the rent is cheap, it is rented to the survivors of the lower class. After all, there are all kinds of people. The public security is definitely not as good as in the inner areas. It is not safe, and the living environment is not good either."
After a while, a dark and thin man walked in, "Brother Guo, I'm here."
"Hey," Guo Yuan also greeted the man, "These are all my family members. Please help introduce a better house for them."
Guo Yuan patted the dark and thin man on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay. Leave it to me."
"Come on, I'll show you around the house."
Guo Yuan nodded to everyone, "Go ahead, follow him."
Seven people followed the thin and dark man out of the registration room.
You have to go through the outer residential area first.
In a part of the outer residential area, the original residential building had 18 floors, which was not demolished and can be lived in after some internal renovation.
Many simple houses with three floors were built on the vacant land of the residential buildings.
There is only aisles wide enough for one person between the houses, so it is quite crowded.
The dark-skinned man pointed at the houses and introduced them, "These houses are dormitories."
"Some are single-person dormitories and multi-person dormitories. The prices are very cheap. These are rented to the survivors of the lower class who are short of supplies."
