The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

The Sihaiguiyi Hall on the stone steps is 11 rooms wide and 5 rooms deep. The doors of the 9 rooms in the middle are wide open. There is a sign hanging in front of each door, which respectively indicate household registration, rental housing, employment registration, vehicle registration (processing for city entry permit), marriage, childbirth and adoption, education registration, elderly care and disability assistance, public services and police services.

I have to say that the person in charge of the base is indeed very capable in re-establishing social order in such a short period of time.

As for Wenchang Palace, it is used to exchange and distribute daily necessities, and it has the least people among the three palaces.

Ai Wanxin was very familiar with this place. She took a quick glance at the layout and turned to enter the Wuying Hall.

The Wuying Hall is 4 rooms wide and 3 rooms deep. The shelves originally placed in the hall have been removed, and the empty hall has been rearranged with five service windows. A huge display screen is hung on the wall on both the east and west sides.

The official tasks and corresponding contribution points are scrolling on the east display screen.

For example, if you rescue a survivor and bring him into the base, you can get 10 contribution points.

Kill a zombie and obtain a crystal core, which can be exchanged for 0.1 contribution points.

Precisely because the exchange rate between crystal cores and contribution points is too low, crystal cores gradually tend to replace contribution points as the circulating currency.

The content on the west display screen is more complicated, including saving lives and finding medicine, and the rewards are mostly in the form of physical objects.

This is a bounty mission issued by the residents of the base.

If no one takes up the Wuying Palace mission, no one else can take it.

Generally, rewards are paid out in the order in which the tasks are completed.

If you finish late, you may end up working in vain.

In addition, some tasks cannot be carried out openly, so a black market was formed in the base later on.

It’s just that the black market’s commission is higher, and since it is now the early days of the apocalypse, the base’s power is not yet stable.

Why couldn't she have a piece of the action?

After briefly observing the mission of the Wuying Hall, Ai Wanxin walked to the symmetrically located Wenchang Hall.

Similar to the layout of the Wuying Hall, the original shelves in the Wenchang Hall were removed and replaced by exchange windows and scrolling screens.

The screen shows the exchange price of the day's supplies.

For example, today 1 contribution point can be exchanged for half a catty of noodles, and 10 contribution points can be exchanged for 1 tael of pork.

It is now the beginning of the end of the world, all production has not yet recovered, materials are in short supply and prices are extremely high.

The base is reorganizing production, and when production gradually resumes, although supplies will still be in short supply, the prices will definitely not be as high as they are now.

She came to the Sihai Guiyi Hall again and toured the nine separate service halls one by one.

Because the household registration window also handles missing person services, there are a lot of people queuing up at the window.

There was also a long queue at the employment registration window. After ordinary people entered the base, they could receive three days of relief food, and then they had to use contribution points to exchange for supplies like everyone else.

The military will recruit some people to participate in work such as building fortifications, but the number is limited and most of them only need strong laborers. Others will naturally have to find other jobs in exchange for food.

Just by looking at their tired and numb expressions, you can tell that there is very little work.

Ai Wan had a rough plan in mind.

Ai Wanxin took a quick glance at marriage, childbirth and adoption, education registration, elderly care and disability assistance, public services and police services, and then turned to the rental housing window.

This window is deserted, sandwiched between two large groups of people looking for people and jobs, making it look even more deserted and depressed.

Ai Wanxin walked to the window and looked at a white board standing behind the staff.

[Shared rental: South District 3, Courtyard 7-1000, East Wing Bed, Middle Bunk, Contribution Points/Month]

[For sale: South District 1, 2-5.4 Courtyard, West Ear Room, building area square meters, contribution points/square meter. ]

"Would you like to rent a house?" The staff member saw her standing at the door for a while and saw that she was dressed neatly and cleanly, so he asked.

But the voice was dry and without any emotion.

He hasn't rented out a single house in all these days.

Please, who wouldn’t say this price is outrageous?

Ai Wanxin laughed.

There is plenty of land and buildings outside Ziyang City, but they can drive up the price of this tiny space to such a high level.

You can, can't I?

She shook her head and walked to the vehicle registration (city entry permit application) window.

This window is not much better than the window of the rental housing.

The young girl who was doing work sat behind the long table with empty eyes. Her body was still at her workstation, but her soul had flown away to who knows where.

Ai Wanxin knocked on the table to call her attention back.

The little girl shuddered and came to her senses.

Her eyes gleamed with a gleam, and she pushed open the thousand-year-old mahogany armchair with a swish and stood up from her seat.

"Do you want a certificate?" she asked excitedly.

"These are the requirements for applying for a city entry permit. Driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, legal residence in Ziyang City, and a vehicle model with a national standard of 10 or above."

"You can apply for it 12 times a year, each time is valid for 7 days, and the vehicle cannot enter the North District."

"10 contribution points per application. Here is the application form."

The little girl finished speaking in one breath, handed over an application form with both hands, and looked at Ai Wanxin expectantly.

Ai Wanxin's expression was extremely blank.

No wonder there's no one at this window. There's really something wrong with you guys.

She took the form, pressed it on the table, and pushed it back to the girl upside down.

Looking into the little girl's clear and expectant eyes, he said, "You can keep it for yourselves."

Ignoring the little girl's attempts to keep her, Ai Wanxin turned and walked out.

"Miss, I haven't seen you before. Are you new here?" A sticky voice came over.

Ai Wanxin pressed down the brim of her hat and ignored it.

"Lost from your family? Your husband, or your boyfriend?" The man persisted and moved a little closer, trying to see Ai Wanxin's face clearly from under the brim of her hat.

"Get lost." Ai Wanxin raised her eyes, glanced at the wretched and greasy face in front of her, and said coldly.

"Don't." The man's heart skipped a beat when he looked at Ai Wan's eyes, which were as sharp and shining as lotus petals.

She is tall and slender, with a handsome face. Just by looking at her eyes, you can tell she is a great beauty. If you can get your hands on such a thing...

"I'm very familiar with this place. I can help you with anything you want to do." Tian Da rubbed his black hands and wanted to pull Ai Wanxin's wrist.

"Bang——" Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if he was hit by a car, and he flew backwards.

The people queuing in front of the temple screamed and made way for a large circle.

Tian Da fell on his back with a crisp sound. His right forearm was supported on the ground at a strange angle, and he howled in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

The onlookers looked at Tian Da, then turned to look at Ai Wanxin who was standing in the shadow of the palace eaves, and whispered to each other.

Tian Da fell to the ground and cried out, "Someone's been beaten to death!"
