In the dim morning light, Xin Ruoyao simply washed up and put away the bell outside. An Jingzhi also folded up all the tents and let Xin Ruoyao return to the space.
The family walked through the mud, one step deep and one step shallow, towards the Peacock Mountain Base.
The road became easier and easier to walk on, as it was all hardened by the sun.
With the sun getting increasingly scorching, everyone was sweating profusely.
"Jingzhi, why does it feel like the weather is getting hotter and hotter? Is that extremely hot weather coming?"
Looking up at the glaring sunlight and sensing the unusually high temperature, An Jingzhi said, "That's right. We need to speed up our journey. Once we get to the road ahead, we'll drive the van."
Thinking that they would be able to take the bus soon, everyone quickened their pace.
When they reached the highway, Xin Ruoyao released the van from the space and cleaned up the supplies that were originally placed in the van, thus freeing up space.
After getting in the van and checking the condition of the car, An Jingzhi sat in the driver's seat and drove.
The others were also eating lunch in the car. After they finished eating, Old Man An took An Jingzhi's seat.
"I guess the water has all receded."
Looking at the cracked soil on both sides of the road, Old Man An smacked his lips.
At first, there was only their family, but later other people gradually appeared on the road.
Some drive, some walk.
But compared to his, their SUV looks more luxurious and impressive.
When we arrived at the foot of the Peacock Mountain Base, there was already a large crowd of people gathered there.
"Look, there's another one coming."
"He's really rich and he drives a car."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's true that no matter what time it is, rich people are always different."
"Isn't it? I guess when we were shivering in the cold, they were hiding somewhere and living comfortably. They even had a place to park their cars."
Among all the luxury cars, the old van is actually very shabby.
But for ordinary people who have come here on foot, they are also a privileged class that is high above everyone else.
The Peacock Mountain Rescue Base was already under construction. There were road signs on the way to show them the direction to go, and when they arrived, there were people directing them to park in the parking lot.
After parking the car, he took a look at the supplies. The soldier felt something and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we have someone to look after everything here, so you won't be left behind."
An Jingzhi thanked him with a smile and left some rice, potatoes and some canned instant noodles in the car, which were all hard currency nowadays.
Led by the soldiers, several people got out of the car and lined up at the registration office.
Even though they have tried their best to behave like ordinary people, their good mental outlook is far beyond that of others.
But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by a group of people coming from behind.
An Jingzhi took a look and recognized that this was the group of people who owned the off-road vehicle they met on the road.
This group of people were dressed very ostentatiously, even wearing exaggerated accessories, just like before the disaster. The way they looked at everyone revealed undisguised disgust.
"Name."
"An Jingzhi."
“…”
When it was their turn, they registered their information one by one. Those who had ID cards gave their ID cards directly, and those who did not have ID cards reported their own information.
An additional work skill was added. An Jingzhi guessed that a lot of people would be needed in the future construction of the base.
The Peacock Mountain base has been established, but more and more people will come in the future, so it will definitely be expanded and a lot of people will be needed.
The original owner was just an ordinary white-collar worker, and this skill didn't seem to be of much use after the natural disaster.
After learning about the general situation of the base from the soldiers at the base, An Jingzhi brought his family to the housing registration office.
The base provides free accommodation, which is a temporary house built with thin materials.
Those who come early may be able to stay, but those who come late may only be able to stay in tents, or even have no place to stay in the end.
If you want to live in a building, you must exchange supplies for it.
An Jingzhi asked about the general exchange situation.
Things like gold have hit rock bottom in value.
At this time, it is not even as valuable as a pack of instant noodles.
"The houses in Area 1 are close to the center of the base, so they are safe. Soldiers pass by every day while they are out training."
"Houses in District 2 are slightly cheaper than those in District 1. Most people will probably choose this area. It's relatively safe and cheaper."
"Districts 3 to 5 are considered the inner city."
"The outside is Midtown, the outer city."
"We don't lack food at home. Why don't we buy a house in District 2? It's not conspicuous but we can sleep peacefully. Buying a house in District 1 is too expensive. The price has doubled. Who knows how long we can live in this house?"
The family hid in a corner to discuss, and they decided to buy a house in District 2.
Of course they can afford it in District 1, but there is no need.
Although no soldiers were passing through Area 2 for training, there were patrols every day, day and night.
After arriving at the base and feeling the order there, they decided to stay.
Seeing that everyone agreed, An Jingzhi made the final decision, "Okay, then let's buy the apartment in District 2. One hundred kilograms of rice, a barrel of oil, and two hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes should be enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment."
Upon learning that several people wanted to purchase Area 2, the registration officer at the housing office smiled and said, "Sure, these are enough."
He had noticed that the mental state of this group of people was different from that of others, so he guessed that they must be big customers.
I didn't expect there was still oil.
He happily took out a tablet and helped An Jingzhi and the others choose a house.
