Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 398 Daily Wasteland Collection (26)

After everyone had discussed it, they followed and took all the spoils back to the base.

The rented car was parked outside, and the few people got in directly when they came out.

Because wild deer and wild goats are so large, after the meat is placed on the vehicle, the entire vehicle seems a bit overloaded.

The car, unable to bear the heavy load, made a creaking noise that sounded old-fashioned. Shen Jiancheng knocked here and touched there, indicating that the car had been used for too long and the iron sheet was about to crack.

Cheng Qi was helpless, “The base’s production of new vehicles is insufficient, and most of the vehicles that can be used are obsolete ones.

I will negotiate with the patrol team when I get back and see if I can get a better one."

After hearing this, Song Ling was worried that her son-in-law would get into trouble, so she waved her hand and explained that the car was still usable and they didn't always have to transport a lot of goods like they did today.

Song Ling pinched the talkative Shen Jiancheng with her hand, raised her eyebrows and said unkindly, "Do you know how to speak? The children at home are usually very busy."

If you have it, just use it. You can show off your ability by interrupting everywhere.

Shen Jiancheng: ...

Shen Jiancheng felt aggrieved. The tall and strong man looked worried. He was not trying to find fault on purpose. He was also doing it for the good of his son-in-law.

If the car at the base breaks down, you have to pay for it out of your own pocket. It's not worth it to spend five or six figures of points on this broken car.

Shen Yao also whispered to explain Shen Jiancheng's good intentions and coaxed Song Ling not to lose her temper.

Song Ling: …

Song Ling was holding her breath and couldn't speak anymore. She just sat quietly in her seat waiting to return to the base.

The engine was started and the car roared. Cheng Qi stepped on the accelerator and drifted onto the main road.

The interior of the carriage was filled with the smell of raw meat, and there was a bleating lamb nearby.

Accompanied by a special animal symphony, the vehicle caused quite a stir at the gate of the base and then drove to the redemption center inside as expected.

With the help of Zhao Xue, the counter employee, the wild goat kid was sold at a good price. At the same time, the house that Cheng Qi and Shen Yao had previously set their eyes on has also reached the tradable stage.

.........

"I'm not going out to collect today. I'm going to Area B. But has the other party really agreed to the price?"

I was bargaining with them a few days ago, but I didn't expect them to suddenly give in today. Shen Yao couldn't understand the seller's train of thought, but it was always in her favor.

There is no reason to push away the advantage. After confirming the huge amount of points in the watch again, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi went out together and walked to Area B.

The distance from Area C to Area B is not far, and they live closer to Area B.

Take the small path, go around a few alleys, and then go straight along the main road.

Soon, a silver-white city wall appeared in front of Shen Yao and Cheng Qi.

When they got married, Shen Yao went to Area B to visit her parents-in-law. After that, the two sides mostly communicated through watches and rarely met at home.

When Shen Yao came here this time, she actually felt as if she was in another world.

'There are still not enough people coming. Once you move in, you won't have such thoughts anymore.'

Shen Yao chatted with the system. Life has been relatively easy recently, thanks to the abundant food reserves. They don't need to go all out to collect food next time, as the food at home is enough to cope with the upcoming cold season.

“Verify identity”

A staff member stopped them and asked for inspection.

Not everyone can enter Area B or even Area A. The most obvious example is people living in Area E or Area F, who need to have a clear guarantor.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi don't need to do that. Their ID cards show their family status. Cheng's mother is a resident of Area B, and the two of them have the right to enter and exit freely.

Two beeps

The card information showed a big green "passed" word. The staff waved their wrists and lifted the horizontal bar in front of them to let them in.

"It's very troublesome to have to check every time you enter or leave." Only areas B and A in the base need to do so. Everyone in other areas can come and go freely, otherwise the last incident of the hot rainy season would not have happened.

"The base has decided to end the cold season and will install automatic detection equipment in front of each district wall to prevent certain people from harming the base."

The list compiled by the patrol team must be used. After eliminating the most heinous crimes, the remaining people, who have crossed the line but are not completely bad, are the time bombs that the base must focus on guarding against.

During special periods, the base must also consider population size and the ratio of men to women.

"For ordinary people, it is safer," but not absolutely safe.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

There are always some people who like to find ways to exploit loopholes and cause sabotage, and the base cannot kill them all.

"Yes, I hope it will get better and better. Over the years, many large and small bases have been destroyed for various reasons. I don't know how long the Dawn Base can last."

If the Dawn Base could no longer hold on, all they could do if they wanted to stay alive was to flee to a new base.

But there is no human habitation within a hundred miles of the Dawn Base, and bases further away are too weak.

Cheng Qi had looked up the layout map of the surrounding area of ​​the Shuguang Base in his spare time. If they had to leave one day, the only place they could go was the east.

If you go forward along the east road, if you are lucky, you will find several large bases that are several times larger than the Dawn Base.

The topic between the two suddenly became heavy, and just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, they arrived at their destination.

The seller's voice promptly cut off the quiet atmosphere around the two of them and allowed the air to flow again.

"This is an old house passed down in my family. If I wasn't in a hurry to sell it, I would..."

The seller is very eloquent, and compared to communicating using watches, it is even better.

At first Shen Yao was quite cooperative, but later she found out that this man was a complete chatterbox who liked to repeat the same things over and over again. So Shen Yao began to fake smile and forcefully turned the topic to the house price, emphasizing whether payment and transfer of ownership could be made at any time.

Seller:…

"Of course, our family will move into Area A," and we are almost able to buy the house we like with just enough points.

Moreover, there are many people competing for it in Area A, so the competition is much more than in Area B.

The seller had a good relative who helped him make connections, otherwise he would not have been able to get the house.

"Then let's go to the Housing Authority," Shen Yao pointed to the yard outside and shook the watch on her wrist.

Seller:…

The seller smiled even more broadly, not only agreeing, he also got a rickshaw from next door and warmly invited Shen Yao and Cheng Qi to sit in as they would go to the Housing Authority to transfer the property.

The real estate resources in the mutant world are divided into two parts: one is public base ownership, and the other is private ownership.

Regardless of whether it is a private transaction or anything else, everyone must register with the Housing Authority.

When the three arrived at the Housing Authority, they saw the staff there busy at work.

After randomly queuing up and waiting for their number to be called, the seller took the opportunity to talk to the two of them.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi often encounter such things and are not worried about leaking anything. However, this seller blurts out everything he can, showing a typical example of someone who is not tight-lipped.

"number 2105"

When they were called, Shen Yao and the seller went to register, pay the points deposit, and then change the owner of the property certificate.

A huge amount of points are transferred from the watch and exchanged for a freshly issued real estate certificate.

call

Not only did the seller breathe a sigh of relief, but Shen Yao and Cheng Qi could also sleep well.

You have to know that in order to exchange for this house, they had already sold the house in District C two days in advance. If the contract had not been signed too quickly here, they would have had to move out and rent a house when the agreed time came.

After parting ways with the seller in front of the Real Estate Bureau, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi returned to their new home again and took a thorough tour of the three-story house inside and out.

Compared with Area C, although the houses in Area B have more floors, their overall area is not as large as that of Area C. This is directly related to the high land prices within the base.

As usual, the first floor is used as office, the second floor is used as accommodation, and the third floor is used as a attic.

Shen Yao made a preliminary design in her head. As for when to arrange the decoration, "In the next two days, the sooner the better."

The sooner they move in, the more food they will have to go out and collect. Of course, the more food the better.

"I have arranged to have a construction team. Just like before, the price has been increased by 30%. They have agreed to complete the work ahead of schedule."

Although this approach is not very cost-effective, time is pressing. During this period, the base is undergoing various housing changes. They are not in a good time, so they can only rely on their financial ability to get a room.

Shen Yao hummed and transferred a sum of points to Cheng Qi. Cheng Qi was in charge of the decoration team for the time being, while Shen Yao took care of the things at home.

Throw away everything that can be thrown away, and pack and organize what needs to be taken away safely.

Shen Yao took several days to clean the house inside and out.

At this time, Cheng Qi brought news that a large field of cotton in the wild was ripe for picking, and he had already signed up for everyone in his family.

"cotton?"

Shen Yao slapped her head and remembered that the most difficult thing in the cold season was the sudden drop in temperature and the cold bed.

Cotton was an essential commodity for them, and they had to collect enough of it at all costs.

Because the mutated cotton is warmer but also has a shorter service life, it is best to use new cotton collected that year to make quilts and jackets.

"Is there a collection limit?" Shen Yao's eyes sparkled.

Cheng Qi was helpless, "For us, the limit is 25 kilograms per person.

However, if it is a highly mutated one, there is no limit, but no one will be willing to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Cotton also has different degrees of mutation. Although the base claims to have a way to deal with highly mutated cotton so that it can be used normally, that is only for dealing with the lower-level people. In fact, the top leaders basically choose low- to medium-mutated cotton because such cotton is safe.

The quota Cheng Qi mentioned refers to low-medium mutated cotton. Although this weight seems high, after removing the cotton seeds and unusable cotton balls, the actual weight of the cotton is just enough.

Moreover, Cheng Qi was talking about his patrol team identity. If it were the Shen family, 20 kilograms per person would be considered kind-hearted.

"What do you mean 20 kilograms? Our limit is 15 kilograms." It's only slightly better than sending away beggars.

Song Ling felt aggrieved, and when she and Shen Yao went out to collect cotton, she did not forget to complain about the new cotton notice issued by the base.

Shen Yao asked her to look back, the worst case was only 5 kilograms, could she still survive?

Song Ling's expression was indescribable. "The base wants us to collect them in the wild."

Cotton is not only grown in the land provided by the base. In fact, there are many large and small cotton fields around the base. However, there are insects and spiders in the wild cotton, and if you don't pick them cleanly, it can be fatal.

Who would be willing to risk their life to pick cotton? Basically, new and old cotton are used alternately, and it is a good thing to survive the cold season.

"Don't worry about your family. We can go together when we get a chance."

There is a difference between collecting in the wild and collecting in the wild. Not to mention that Cheng Qi has his own tricks, Shen Yao also has system plug-ins, so there will definitely be enough cotton.

Song Ling shoveled a lot of vines and put them into the backpack, then turned around and picked some leaves and put them away. They didn't go far today, they just picked some commonly used weaving materials.

None of the three families is short of food, so once the cotton harvest is successfully completed, they can officially prepare for the winter.

"When are you and Xiao Cheng going to move into your new home? Your dad and I will go over to help."

As for Shen Yu, he temporarily went out with the mercenary team and it would take a few days for him to come back.

"It will be the day after tomorrow, and then we can all come together to have some fun."

The things have been delivered in advance, and now the only thing left in the house in Area C is the bed for sleeping.

Shen Yao and Cheng Qi did not plan to pack up the bed and take it away because the buyer had made an offer when it was sold.

"Okay, I'll go there early the day after tomorrow, just in time to take a look at the houses that are for sale in District B."

Shen Yao's house buying process was more bumpy than Cheng's, but fortunately someone agreed to let them get a bargain.

The price has been negotiated, and if nothing unexpected happens, the Shen family will be able to move to Area B before the cold season arrives.

"A lot of people are moving recently," and those who work in decoration-related fields can make a lot of money.

"Our neighbors, the old Zhou family, moved to District D," Song Ling mentioned her old friend, not understanding her choice. "It is said that Zhou Ying played a role in the matchmaking. The Zhou family must have made a lot of money."

Houses are valuable, and the houses in District C are better than any other.

The Zhou family can double the points they earn by trading back and forth.

But "Zhou Ying?"

Shen Yao almost forgot about this person. There was nothing she could do. She was living a good life and couldn't remember him.

Asking the system if it knew what Zhou Ying was doing, Shen Yao's purpose was clear, "Is he trying to plot against me?"

system:……

The system indicates that Zhou Ying does not dare to plot against the host, as his target is his in-laws.

what?

"Plotting against my family?" "Is your mind finally perverted?"

"Yes, I feel that my life is too miserable. It's all because of my family's inaction and collusion with outsiders to set a trap for me." At present, the Zhou family has fallen into the trap and has become their prey. There is no escape.

Shen Yao:......

'idiot! ’

If Zhou Ying had awakened on his own, Shen Yao would have admired him. But it was really stupid that he was used as a tool by outsiders.

system:……

The system kept silent, thinking that they had no control over matters like Zhou Ying's.

"Yaoyao, do you still remember Zhou Ying? That girl suffered a great crime, but her husband is gone, and I don't know how she's been doing lately."

Song Ling can still remember Zhou Ying's appearance, but she hasn't seen him for some time.

"Auntie Zhou and her family moved out, didn't you try to persuade them? It's easier to move out than to move in."

Houses close to the center of the base have always been popular and there is no shortage of buyers at any time.

Anyone with ambition would like their family to live in a better place. It is puzzling that the Zhou family took the initiative to move to a worse place.

"I have advised you, but it's hard for your Aunt Zhou. Her son and daughter-in-law make the decisions at home. What can she do? She is just trying to live a few more years with her old bones."

Song Ling felt a little sympathetic, and the topic of their chat became serious again.
