Chen Wan and his group were quickly allowed through the second checkpoint. After driving forward for another ten minutes or so, they came into view of a fence about three stories high. The gate in the middle of the fence was made of thick steel plates. One hundred soldiers armed with live ammunition stood on both sides of the gate. At a distance from the soldiers, there were five armored tanks on each side. There were also about fifty rocket launcher barrels densely packed on the inside of the wall.
A young soldier signaled Chen Wan and the others to get out of the car for inspection. Chen Wan drove the car onto a steel plate with a sensing device and then got out.
Two soldiers entered the RV to inspect it, and at the same time, the equipment was scanning the RV to see if there were any living things or contraband in it.
The flowers were all on the second floor, their presence hidden by Yiyi. The RV on the first floor had also been camouflaged, and now it looked like a comfortable RV, nothing more.
After the RV passed inspection, a soldier led Chen Wan and the others to a row of iron sheds where several soldiers were stationed. One of them politely asked Chen Wan and the others, "Do you want a single-person apartment or a suite? You can choose either one here."
Chen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's get a suite, so we can all take care of each other."
"Okay, 301 and 302 in Unit 1, Building 76 are your room doors. Since there are 9 of you in total, you can only be allocated two suite doors at most." The staff registered Chen Wan and the others' names and handed the keys to them.
"Thank you. Can we park our car near our residence?" Chen Wan asked again.
"Yes, there are parking spaces planned in the community. You need to park your car in the parking spaces. For the rest, you can take a look at this list. It probably lists all the precautions." The staff handed Chen Wan another list.
Qi Jing and the others followed Chen Wan and the others in and asked for a suite, which was located in 401 on the floor above Chen Wan and the others.
After expressing their gratitude, Chen Wan and his group drove away in the RV. After entering the third checkpoint, except for a patrol team appearing every few minutes, the rest was basically no different from before the apocalypse. Chen Wan, sitting in the car, saw some people still walking outside, which was not very common in the apocalypse.
Yiyi drove the RV and parked it in the parking lot of the community where they lived. Chen Wan and others got out of the car with some supplies they needed, and took Huahua and the others to the house allocated to them by the base.
The room had obviously been cleaned in advance. It wasn't exactly clean, but at least it was tidy. There was a brand new set of paper beside the bed.
New sheets and bedding.
Chen Wan, Jiang Yanxin and Qin Ke live in 301, Ye Lan and Jiang Wanning live in 302 opposite. Their building is a high-rise with a total height of 17 floors. However, the distance between the doors of the buildings is large, so the third floor is not blocked by light, and the view from the bedroom is very good.
Days like this made Chen Wan feel as if the world was over. She hooked her arm around Jiang Yanxin, who was standing next to her, and pulled her into her arms.
Jiang Yanxin leaned in Chen Wan's arms and took out the base description that the staff had just given them. "The points earned from labor can be used to exchange for daily supplies. Doctors, nurses, craftsmen, mechanical workers, construction workers, and other technical and medical personnel can directly go to the First District Service Station to receive work and receive corresponding points upon completion. Those with special abilities who go on missions with the military can also earn a large number of points..."
The paper was concise and stated that fighting was prohibited within the base, otherwise the pre-apocalyptic laws would apply, and a prison was also set up at the base.
Chen Wan looked at the rules and regulations in front of him and chuckled. "It looks quite reasonable. I wonder if this first district is really well-organized or just pretending to be so."
"How do we exchange the third-level crystal cores we need? Or do we go on a mission with the military?" Jiang Yanxin thought for a while and asked. After all, the purpose of their coming to the first district was that the situation in various places was unclear, and they wanted to activate the flying form of the RV as soon as possible to deal with those unpredictable troubles.
"You'll know after going out for a walk." Chen Wan took Jiang Yanxin into his arms and kissed her, looking at her with bright eyes.
"Well, let's go. Let's take Yangyang with us. She hasn't been out to bask in the sun for a long time." Jiang Yanxin thought about the little guy and felt so distressed. She had been stuck in the underground garage for more than three months. It was time to take the cub out for some fresh air.
"Okay, let's take Yangyang with us." Chen Wan said as he took Jiang Yanxin's hand and prepared to go find the little guy.
Qin Ke saw them about to leave and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Take Yangyang out to bask in the sun and take a look at what the first district is like." Chen Wan said with a smile.
"Then we'll go too. It's good that Yiyi is here anyway. She and you can communicate through brain area, so we can communicate if there's anything." Qin Ke couldn't hold it in any longer, so he stood up with Shen Mingyan, ready to go with Chen Wan and the others.
Chen Wan smiled and replied, "Okay, then let Yiyi and Wanning stay home to look after the house, and we'll go out."
While talking, Chen Wan had already taken the key and opened the door.
He knocked on the door opposite and took the little one from Jiang Wanning's arms. The four big and one small went downstairs.
When Zaizai heard that Chen Wan was going to take her out to play, her excited little short legs almost left afterimages. She rubbed against Chen Wan's arms and acted coquettishly.
"Mommy, what fun things are there outside?" The baby rubbed his little face against Chen Wan, and a few strands of hair on his head rose up. Chen Wan was amused just by looking at it.
"There are so many fun things to do outside, and getting some sun is good for your health. Look at you, your hair has grown a lot. Mommy will comb it into a small bun for you when we get home later, okay?"
The cub nodded his little head and responded obediently: "Okay~"
Jiang Yanxin looked at the sticky creatures, one big and one small, with amusement and gentle eyes.
Qin Ke and Shen Mingyan were teasing the baby from time to time. Shen Mingyan held one of the baby's little hands and played with it. The adults were usually bored in the RV, and their only entertainment was playing with the baby, so they were very good at it.
The cub adapted very well. He rubbed against his mom and acted coquettishly, while his little hand was held by his aunt.
Chen Wan and her friends were dressed neatly, and any one of them would be outstanding just by looking at their faces. Plus, there was a cute little guy, so this combination would attract a lot of attention in the first district.
Chen Wan could even notice that several eyes had been staring at them for a long time not far away, but she didn't care. Didn't they say that the order in the first district was actually... This was a good opportunity to verify it.
Chen Wan ignored the few glances, but the baby in her arms swung his short legs and said to Chen Wan, "Mommy, there are some bad guys looking at us."
Chen Wan had forgotten that he had a little radar in his arms. He lowered his head slightly and kissed the baby. Chen Wan said softly, "It's okay. Let's ignore them and carry you around first."
Seeing that mommy didn't care much, the cub realized that those bad guys were probably useless and mommy didn't take them seriously, so the little guy relaxed.
The climate in Qincheng City is not much different from that before the apocalypse. The weather is a little chilly at the end of October, so a coat over a T-shirt is just right. Chen Wan is holding the baby in her arms and walking all the way to the service station in the first district. She can keenly sense that several gazes are still following her from behind.
Soon, several people walked to the service area. The service area was similar to the service hall before the end of the world. There was a row of service windows inside for residents of the first area to consult and receive tasks.
Chen Wan and the others went to a window where a female alpha was sitting, ready to ask about the situation.
The woman was wearing the uniform here, and she was stunned when she saw the baby in Chen Wan's arms. In the apocalypse, even in a safe place like District 1, it was rare to see children. After all, children's body resistance was not good, and in such a world, the chance of survival was very low. The woman was also very surprised to see the child.
When Zizi saw people looking at her, she smiled shyly at them and called out in a baby voice, "Hello, Auntie~"
The woman heard the baby's soft voice and replied with a smile, "Hello."
After greeting the baby, the woman smiled and said to Chen Wan, "What a cute kid! Do you have any business to consult?"
"We would like to ask, how do people with special abilities usually earn points in the base?" Chen Wan thought for a moment and asked.
"People with special abilities are the most in-demand talent in the base. They are usually arranged to go with the military to search for survivors nearby or to transport supplies. The points received are divided according to the degree of contribution to the mission. The day after tomorrow there will be a mission to go out with the military to hunt zombies. If you are interested, you can choose to accept the mission." The woman explained.
"Let's come here and ask first. If we want to go, we can come back tomorrow." Chen Wan said with a smile.
"Okay, the mission is completely voluntary. The base will not force residents to do anything. Elderly people and children who are unable to work can go to the cafeteria to get two meals for free every day. The child in your arms can also get free meals." The woman went on to explain.
"Okay, thank you. We'll go again if we need you." Chen Wan thanked him with a smile.
After they came out of the service area, Qin Ke looked at Chen Wan and said, "It's really quite orderly here, at least better than the places we've been to before."
"Well, let's take a look." As they said that, several people prepared to go to the other side. Chen Wan planned to make a rough circle in the base and then go back, so that he could be familiar with the terrain.
However, as they were walking back, some of them obviously couldn't hold back any longer.
At the corner, a man in a leather jacket and four other ruffians were looking greedily at Chen Wan and the others.
"Brother Ye, these girls are so beautiful. Even alphas can look like this. Damn, my hands are itching to do it."
"Yeah, that Omega and that Beta are pretty too. Brother Ye, we've been buried in the snow for over three months, and we haven't had sex in a while. Why don't we take these girls home to play with?"
"No way, isn't it said that the First District is very strict? If we go to jail again because of this, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"Xiao Hu, why are you becoming more and more timid? Don't you understand? These bases are all talk and no action. When they come in, they all boast about how well-organized their bases are, but once they're in, it's all just the same old law of the jungle. Even if we do something, the base won't be able to take care of us."
"that is."
The man called Brother Ye licked his lips. They had been staying in a gas station in Beijing for more than three months because of the heavy snow. If they had not had sufficient supplies, they would have died by now. It was a time like this, so they could just enjoy themselves first. Who knew what disaster they would encounter tomorrow?
The man in the leather jacket winked at his minions and surrounded Chen Wan and the others.
