It is not uncommon for new buildings not to be updated on the map in time.
Huo Yishen told Jiang Ning the general direction of the rescue, and Jiang Ning had a vague idea that it could not be wrong to go southwest.
The new development zone in that area belongs to the development direction of urban expansion. There are indeed new buildings, and the place is relatively spacious.
Huo Yishen drove the car, and Jiang Ning sat beside him to show the way.
When they arrived at the development zone, there were abandoned buildings, dry rivers, and cracked land everywhere.
Driving the car onto the overpass and taking out the binoculars to search, Jiang Ning found several buildings with signs of life, and then ruled out the old buildings.
Driving around, it was indeed Aoyuan.
It is a riverside mansion, and the main entrance is designed to be luxurious yet extremely artistic.
There are more than ten buildings inside, and the distance between the buildings is very large.
If there is no natural disaster, the house here starts at at least 5 million.
Although the building is large, from observation, it seems that there are not many people living here. I didn’t expect that there is a different world inside.
There is a security booth at the gate, and there are actually six security guards on duty.
It’s not quite appropriate 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, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning poked his head out and showed a friendly smile, "Brother, we are out looking for a house. Do you have a house for rent?"
Rent a house? Everyone was still on guard. "Where are you from? Why do you want to rent a house?"
"We live near the university town. The house we live in has cracks and is not safe."
Everyone whispered, "There is a house, but you have to pay rent, and you have to interview."
Shocked, you have to interview to rent a house? 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 is a wolf in sheep's clothing?
However, the Aoyuan community looks quite united, and they even arranged residents to guard the gate.
Unlike the Jinrong community, cats and dogs can come in, and the gate is open and no one cares.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but get interested. "How much is the monthly rent?"
"10-20 kilograms of food per month, depending on the situation."
Jiang Ning was careful. "Coarse food?"
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 courtyard wall, and broken glass was inserted on the top of the wall. There were also community residents on duty, so I think the safety awareness was still relatively strong.
Although sitting in the car, Jiang Ning secretly looked at the people guarding the gate.
Although people's hearts are separated by their stomachs, appearance is determined by their hearts. After struggling in the end-of-the-world natural disasters for a long time, sometimes you can really see some clues.
The car windows were covered with anti-penetration film. Although they were also looking at him, Jiang Ning sensed vigilance and caution, but did not feel any malice.
Moreover, there was a big man who knew lip reading sitting next to him.
Jiang Ning could not help but have more expectations for the Aoyuan community.
After waiting for about half an hour, the interviewer finally came.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties. The gray T-shirt he wore was a little old, but very clean, and his thin square face revealed a bit of elegance.
He walked out of the community, and the two got off 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, "Are you two planning to rent a house?"
Huo Yishen shook it, "Yes, I want to come and see you."
The weather was too hot, and he was sweating profusely in a moment. The man invited the two people into the guardhouse and introduced himself, "My last name is He, He Tianming. You can just call me Old He. What are your names?"
"My last name is Huo."
He Tianming asked them to sit down and handed them two brown fans.
Waving the fans, He Tianming asked about every detail, 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, "Phase I of Aoyuan was completed not long ago, 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.
We were alone, so we banded together to survive, and later we took in more people. So far, there are about a hundred people in the community.
The living environment is bad now, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable. Although our community is rented out, But not everyone can come in.
As long as we live in Aoyuan, we will be part of a big family, so we will be very strict in screening the people who move in.
I was a psychological counselor before the natural disaster, so I took on the job of interviewing. I hope that everyone who moves in is a good person and can find a sense of home here. "
It turns out that he is a psychological counselor. No wonder he can make a human judgment about the tenants from the conversation, just like checking the household registration.
Don't think it's just a simple conversation, but it can help him filter out 70% to 80% of the survivors with bad intentions, thereby 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."
He Tianming was very interested in his occupation 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 and have no relatives. I am a student in the medical school."
He Tianming looked at Jiang Ning a few times, "If you move in, in addition to taking care of a child, will you also raise 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, but Jiang Ning felt a chill all over her body. How did he know!
But she reacted quickly, and Coke rubbed against her when she went out.
Sure enough, there were a few dog hairs on her clothes.
So she asked if there were any secrets in front of a psychologist?
Afraid that she would misunderstand, He Tianming quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, we allow pets in our community. I also have a dog, a Teddy."
Jiang Ning was even more confused. Is this the Garden of Eden at the end of the world after a natural disaster?
She had room to cheat. What kind of family conditions would an ordinary person have to have to be able to keep a dog during a natural disaster?
Are you sure this isn't the Longmen Inn? She doesn't want to be made into a barbecued pork bun.
Seeing the two people's confusion, He Tianming explained, "Most of the people we hire from outside have survival skills. The rent we collect is distributed according to work, and they can barely make ends meet."
Speaking of rent, Jiang Ning asked curiously, "How much food do you collect per month?" He
Tianming thought again and again, "Every household that moves in will have to provide a laborer to patrol the community every day. Do you have any opinions?" "
No problem."
"Ordinary people get 20 kilograms of food per household."
Jiang Ning was slightly surprised, "20 kilograms is not cheap."
"If Mr. Huo can teach the young people in the community how to defend themselves from enemies, and Miss Jiang can treat the residents, we can reduce 10 kilograms of food."
Jiang Ning said honestly, "Even if it is 10 kilograms of food, it is not cheap."
He Tianming smiled, "The community has other benefits, 10 kilograms of food is not expensive."
Jiang Ning also plans to be a psychoanalyst again, "Do you have a well in your community?"
