Chapter 181 Card Book (23)
Faced with this attitude, the four of them were really unable to react.
After all, it's the end of the world, and shouting for war and killing is common, but no one looks down on others. If you talk like this outside, you will be killed before you can finish your words.
Lao Gao asked somewhat unreasonably: "How do you know we can't afford it?"
The salesperson didn't even raise his eyes. He made a "hiss" sound, rolled his eyes, and turned around to chat with another salesperson.
Buying a piece of clothing just to spite the salesperson is something they really can't do, so they can look down on them, but being angry...it's really frustrating.
Holding their breath, the group went to the 5th floor.
The supplies on the 5th floor are rich. All kinds of furniture and miscellaneous supplies can be found on the 5th floor. Even the nail polish and cosmetics that Lan Jin had seen in the office building before can be quoted at very high prices now.
Lao Gao looked at their price tags and immediately forgot his previous frustration. He said in disbelief, "The price is so high." He really couldn't understand it.
However, if Lao Gao doesn't understand what these things mean, then Gao is finished.
There are a lot of goods here, in fact, half an hour is enough, but it is not enough, you can't see these complete furniture outside. At this moment, Lan Jin suddenly understood why people came to collect old furniture before. "So all the things that were collected from our house before are now here."
All the furniture displayed outside is old, and as for the new furniture...
Anyone who has the conditions should use their connections to get it directly, so there is no need to put it out for sale.
There were only two floors to explore, and the entire shopping area took only half an hour. As they were walking downstairs, Lan Jin remarked, "Hey, I hadn't noticed before, but this shopping mall doesn't seem to have many people around."
"Not only is there no one shopping here, no one is paying attention to us. With this attitude, I wouldn't come here either." Not only that, no one has so many contribution points right now. Why use them to buy these useless things instead of eating? However, Ling Jiang, who was angry, couldn't help but want to say a few more words.
I have been busy all day today. After eating and shopping, I just want to go to bed.
The four of them returned to their dormitories, which were obviously much more lively than when they moved in. There was a hint of curiosity in everyone's eyes about the two new faces that suddenly appeared in the dormitory, but neither side had the intention to talk to them. After washing up and chatting, they went to rest.
…
The next day.
Lan Jin was awakened from her sleep by a series of "ping pong" sounds. She immediately checked her cell phone and saw that it was almost 8 o'clock.
It was obvious that so many people making noise at the same time were not intentional. Lan Jin did not ask any questions. He opened the door and took a look. He saw that everyone was washing and getting dressed. He thought something must have happened. After more than ten minutes, when these people left, the dormitory suddenly became quiet again.
Seeing the dormitory quiet, Ling Jiang still felt a little strange. She left the capsule room, knocked on Lan Jin's upper bunk, and asked, "Xiao Lan, what's going on? It was so noisy just now, and now everyone is out, like they're at work."
However, they are not at work.
That's why the two of them are quiet and didn't talk to their roommates. But after returning home last night, Lao Gao immediately started chatting with them and became very familiar with them. He took the snacks in his pocket and asked about the whole situation in the dormitory.
After meeting them early in the morning, I started chatting with them.
"I found out yesterday that the collective dormitory we originally lived in was a capsule room. The base didn't charge for it, but there were some requirements. The base couldn't let you live here for free, so they arranged work for you. The working hours vary depending on the position. After all, such a large base is seriously short of people in various positions. Those who work here are provided with two meals a day. There is no salary, but there is a subsidy. The monthly subsidy is just enough to buy some daily necessities."
To be honest, it’s really good.
When they came out of the dormitory building and arrived at the lobby on the first floor opposite, Lao Gao turned around and took a few card books from the service hall.
The card album is just one sheet of paper, folded into four pages. There isn't much on it, just a topographical map of the base, descriptions of each floor, and the back is full of the base's rules and regulations.
They first put away the booklets and went to the cafeteria on the second floor. There were still three sets of meals: A, B, and C. None of the three sets were the same.
The only difference in this cafeteria is that the employees' work and leaving times are staggered, so there are actually many empty seats in the cafeteria. Even the noise and eating speed are much slower than yesterday.
After sitting down, they were finally able to take a good look at the blueprints of the base.
On this side, the second and third floors are the cafeteria, but there's a supermarket on the third floor that sells not only water and food, but also fruits and vegetables. Lan Jin pointed to the third floor and said, "Let's go up and take a look later."
The 4th and 5th floors are shopping malls, which I visited yesterday.
The 6th floor is a planting center. Not only this half but also the dormitory side is used for planting. So, the entire 6th floor is used for planting. Moreover, not only official personnel can plant, but ordinary people can also rent a piece of land to grow some vegetables themselves, which can be used to pay rent or do other things. After all, the value of vegetables is really high.
The 7th floor is a school. The kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school and high school are all on the same floor. Although the space here is very large, it is obvious that there are not many children.
The 8th floor is a laboratory, but only half of it, because from the 8th floor onwards, their place has become a residence again. However, obviously, the higher the floor, the better the living space.
As for the floors above the 9th floor, they seem to be the residences and offices of some high-ranking officials.
Although the base is circular and they all live in this circular building, dividing it into two is actually just some special means. And for safety reasons, people are arranged to guard the separated areas, making it impossible to get through.
The base of a 12-story building includes a variety of designs, and I have to say it is really pretty good.
As for the terms on the back of the card, Lan Jin took a look and memorized some of the terms regarding food. The capsule room was not allowed to have any food flavors, so things like rice were definitely not allowed, but if it was tasteless, such as biscuits and candies, it was still acceptable.
And not only in the capsule rooms, but also on the roadside or outside the cafeteria, try to avoid the smell of food. It is no wonder that everyone eats in the cafeteria. After all, everyone is going to live here for a long time, so naturally they have to abide by the basic rules of this base.
