"Sister, let's go inside. It's a mess here."
Tang Jian said.
"Um."
Han Qingxia got back into the car. They drove on the main road of the base where people were coming and going. People on the road would actively avoid the car when they saw it, not daring to provoke it. They all stared at the car and the people in it with envy and desire.
Han Qingxia has seen this kind of look too many times.
Don't think they are friendly. If the car Han Qingxia is riding in is an ordinary car of new residents who have just entered the base, these people's eyes will become greedy and they will wish they could pounce on them and eat them up right away.
Only strong power can earn people's respect, and the weak will inevitably be bullied. This is an era where the law of the jungle has reached its extreme.
This is especially true for a super-large base like this one.
"Sister, these are newly received survivors. The order is a bit chaotic. It will be better if we go inside." Tang Jian said while driving.
Han Qingxia nodded and watched as small residential buildings gradually appeared in the shantytown in front of him. The public security here has improved a lot. The earliest batch of people who joined the base were all allocated such houses to live in, and their relative sense of happiness was not much higher than that of those living in shantytowns outside.
But when Tang Jian drove the car to a forked road, the scene in front of him immediately changed.
The buildings were neatly arranged one after another, everything was clean and tidy, there was not a single survivor wandering on the streets, and patrolling guards appeared from time to time.
The lights were on in the houses on both sides, and it was so peaceful that it seemed like we had returned to the days before the end of the world.
The pickup truck turned several turns and stopped in front of a two-story villa.
There is also a small garden in front of the villa.
"Boss, this is our captain's home." Xu Shaoyang explained to Han Qingxia.
Han Qingxia nodded, got out of the car, and a man in casual clothes walked out of the house.
Without his combat uniform, Lu Qiyan looked much more refined. "Ms. Han."
"Hello, Captain Lu."
"Welcome to K1 base."
"Yeah, your base is great, crowded and lively. I was shocked to see it today. I can tell at a glance that Captain Lu manages it well!" Han Qingxia was quite polite after going out, and when they met, they started to flatter each other about business.
Lu Qiyan felt embarrassed for a moment when he heard her flattery for the first time, and then he said seriously, "If Miss Han likes it, you can consider joining our K1 base. I will give you a good position. K1 base needs talents like you!"
Han Qingxia simply waved her hand and said, "I'm just being polite, don't take it seriously."
Lu Qiyan: "......"
Thank her!
Actually, think about it, if anyone has seen Han Qingxia's self-sufficient and impregnable little castle, who would think that she was stupid enough to join someone else's base.
Are you dissatisfied that she is not living a happy life?
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No, is your house open for dinner? We came here on an empty stomach, so we have to treat you to something good."
This is very Han Chungha! You’re welcome!
Lu Qiyan: "...I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat."
On the way, Lu Qi Yan and Han Qing Xia briefly introduced their K1 base.
The K1 base is located in a core area surrounded by hills, and the main access is the tunnel, so their base is very safe, but at the same time, there is not enough arable land to ensure planting. As more and more people join, the food supply in the base is very scarce.
They are now implementing a unified food management system. Everyone can get two steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup in the unified cafeteria every day. If they want to eat something else, the base welcomes them to go out and find supplies themselves. They only need to pay half of the supplies they bring back to the base, and the rest can be kept by themselves.
Of course, there are also a large number of jobs for the public in the base. Residents who participate in the construction of the base will receive additional points as rewards, and these points can be used to redeem food in the canteen.
Almost an adult man can earn one point for a day's work, which can be exchanged for a steamed bun.
Under the conditions of scarce materials, the K1 base is in a tight situation every day.
Han Qingxia followed Lu Qi Yan to the second cafeteria of their K1 base.
The first canteen is for civilians, and the second canteen is exclusively for base soldiers and managers.
"drop--"
"drop--"
"drop--"
Lu Qi Yan's ID card was swiped three times on the machine in the cafeteria.
The first time was free for him, but points would be deducted for the next two times.
Three points at a time.
Soon, three servings of steamed buns and hot soup were ready.
The steamed buns are mixed grain steamed buns, and the soup is cabbage leaves with hot pot balls.
Obviously, even such simple meals are better than those in the First Canteen!
This is exclusive!
"Ms. Han, the conditions here are a little poor, please make do with it."
Han Qingxia looked at the plain meal and asked, "Didn't you get a promotion? Are you eating the same thing as everyone else every day?"
"Yes." Lu Qi Yan said. He gave Han Qingxia his portion with a few more meatballs as a courtesy of being a host.
Han Qingxia took a deep breath and said, "Well, why don't you bring your team to join my base? Your conditions are so tough that even my dog would shake his head when he sees you."
Lu Qiyan: "......"
Han Qingxia was still polite and ate half of the steamed bun, just as if it was a meal for him. She didn't eat a single bite of the bowl of vegetable soup with an indescribable taste and the low-quality meatballs. Her living standard had improved, and she really couldn't eat any more, so she gave it all to Xu Shaoyang.
After all, for Han Qingxia, the "good" things always come first with her own people.
Even if I'm just eating from Lu Qiyan's family, I still have to promote this good character.
Xu Shaoyang is not picky about food at all, he just eats!
After they finished their meal, Lu Qiyan saw that Han Qingxia hadn't eaten much, "I'll take you to visit our market later."
"Okay."
Han Qingxia wanted to know more about the legendary K1 base. After she came out of the cafeteria, she asked as they walked, "How many teams will there be tomorrow?"
"There should be seven teams."
"Is the mission really harmless?"
"The area inside and around the reserve warehouse is vast and sparsely populated, but there are many zombies on the main road outside. We need everyone's joint efforts. When the time comes, you can follow us and go deeper together. The danger should not be high."
Han Qingxia nodded in understanding.
At this time they also arrived at the market at the K1 base. This was a whole street where residents spontaneously set up their stalls to trade goods. People sat on the ground with the things they were selling placed in front of them. They were basically clothes, jewelry, gold, silver, jade, and even money!
Wads of money were placed on the stall for sale. It looked like a wealthy boss had run away with the money after the apocalypse. But he never expected that money is the most useless thing!
Han Qingxia was walking on such a big street with great curiosity, looking at these things with great freshness, when suddenly she heard a familiar voice.
"Food! Food! If you don't give me food, do you think I can get it for free? Someone come quickly!"
