Chapter 117
High-end residential area
"The survivors' residential areas in our base are divided into three levels: high, medium, and low. The outermost areas are all low-end residential areas. I will lead you to the higher-end residential areas inside."
The thin dark man led everyone to a wide sidewalk. The cement road in the middle was a lane that could accommodate three rows of cars, and there were sidewalks on both sides.
They passed through the outer low-class residential areas, then through the middle-class residential areas, and finally arrived at the high-class residential areas.
The closer to the center, the better the houses should be, and the more wealthy and powerful people should be there.
Fang Xin saw many luxury cars driving out.
Many people dressed in bright and beautiful clothes came out from inside, all of them looked honored and smiling brightly.
It turns out that the end of the world did not have a big impact on the rich, and they can still eat and drink well and enjoy life.
It took them nearly half an hour to drive there, which shows how big this base is.
"Which building or floor do you want to live in?" asked the thin dark man.
Guo Yuan's wife said, "We can do either. The floor should not be too low or too high."
"It doesn't matter whether you live in a high-rise or low-rise apartment. The occupancy rate is not that high right now. Most of the survivors haven't moved in yet. And you don't have to worry about the height being too high. There are elevators everywhere."
The thin and dark man patiently explained to everyone.
"Oh, there is an elevator." Grandpa Li said with a smile, "We don't like to live in a high-rise building, three or four floors will do."
Even if there is an elevator, it is not very safe. If there is a power outage, it will be very difficult for them to climb the stairs if they live too high. It is better to live lower down.
"Okay, I have the whole day to spare. I'll show you around and you can stay in whichever one you like."
Although he said this, they couldn't bother others too much or be too picky, and others just treated them politely.
They looked through the houses as quickly as possible.
Both houses are in the last row.
Grandpa Li was very polite and handed him a pack of cigarettes. "Thank you for accompanying us to look at houses for such a long time. Take this pack of cigarettes."
The thin man looked at the cigarette in his hand, his eyes sparkling, but he still pretended to refuse, "How can I take your things? Without Brother Guo's instructions, this is also my responsibility."
Grandpa Li held his hand and said, "Don't tear it apart. It's not good if others see it. Just keep it."
Fang Xin also gave a pack of cigarettes, the price of which was about the same as that of Grandpa Li, cigarettes that sold for 16 before the end of the world.
The dark and thin man was grinning from ear to ear, having earned two packs of good cigarettes in one day. His smile became much more sincere, and he put all the cigarettes in his pocket.
"Okay, I'll take it. If you need anything in the future, just come to me and I'll make sure it's done beautifully."
After looking at several houses, I found that the quality of the houses in this area are all the same, with similar floor plans.
But the living environment must be slightly better.
Residents of the outer area cannot come to the middle area. Similarly, residents of the middle area cannot come to the upper area, but residents of the upper area can go to the middle and lower areas.
In other words, residents in higher-rise areas have more places to go.
There are checkpoints between each enclosure, which are guarded by people and require a card to enter.
It is the ID card in your hand. It contains relevant information about where you rent a house.
People can only move around in the low-lying areas and are not allowed to wander around. This is also to protect the rights and interests of the rich and powerful.
From this we can see that the class is very obvious.
The houses in the inner area are roughly circumscribed.
They should all be the leadership of the base, or people with money, power and status.
The high-end residential area where they live is the inner area.
The houses near the inner area have already been reserved, and other survivors cannot enter even if they have money.
Finally, Guo Yuan's family chose a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, which was just enough for their family to live in, but the rent was a bit more expensive.
It takes 150 points per month.
Fang Xin thought it seemed a bit expensive, but seeing that Guo Yuan's wife decided on it without blinking an eye.
He is also a capable person.
The two elders chose a three-story house with two bedrooms and a living room. The orientation was also good. They thought that when Xiao Kai came over in the future, there would be a place for him to live.
Fang Xin felt that the third floor was completely fine, not too low nor too high, and if a natural disaster were to occur unexpectedly, he would be able to run away quickly.
The walls of their house are not too thin and are relatively thicker than those of other buildings, which is why they chose this one.
She looked at the inside of the house. The structure felt much more solid than here. The color of the walls was also different. It was obvious that they were made of special materials.
This means that if another natural disaster occurs, these ordinary survivors can be sacrificed.
Thinking of this, Fang Xin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with the base's actions.
Seeing that the two elders liked this house, Fang Xin directly rented the house opposite them, which also had two bedrooms and a living room.
There is also a chance to avoid a weird neighbor.
Their building has three households per floor, and the living environment is pretty good.
The price is the same as for the two elders, 100 points per month.
They don't know how the points are redeemed or what the ratio is. They will find out when they go to the mission hall to redeem supplies.
The points can be used to buy things at the base store, to eat out, etc. There are also hotels here, but the prices will definitely be more expensive. The points can also be used to pay water and electricity bills, etc.
In other words, the currency in circulation in the base now is a points system, and the previous paper money is completely useless.
Of course, you can also trade materials directly.
Those who are capable and have the resources will live in better houses and have more choices.
The ordinary survivors at the bottom level can only live in the outer residential areas, but most of the outer residential areas are dormitories, and some are even large shops where dozens of people are crowded together.
They have to work non-stop every day to make a living, which also gives ordinary survivors hope to survive. As long as they have some strength, they will not starve to death.
"Come on, I'll take you to the hall." The thin dark man called.
Everyone nodded and drove to a spacious hall with many people inside.
On the left is the redemption hall and on the right is the mission hall.
The redemption hall, as the name suggests, is a material redemption point where you can exchange materials for points.
The mission hall is where the missions are announced by the base. You can form a team or act alone to go out and complete missions to earn points.
The tasks can be difficult or easy.
The harder the problem, the more points you will get; the easier the problem, the less points you will get.
For example, when going out to pick up technical personnel, there are many robbers and kidnappers outside, and you need someone with good skills to escort them all the way to the base.
This one is relatively moderate, neither difficult nor easy. After all, the journey is long and there are many difficulties.
There are also some simple ones, such as rescuing survivors. Each survivor gets a certain number of points, and you get points based on the number of people you rescue.
Go out to look for materials. Materials are either common or rare. You can redeem corresponding points according to their rarity.
There are many types of tasks, and you can accept different tasks based on your own conditions.
Fang Xin took a quick glance and then looked away. She didn't want to go out on a mission and do the hard work.
Others have to work hard just to survive, but she doesn't have to. She doesn't have to worry about life at all.
