Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 415 Daily Wasteland Collection (43)
Soon, they packed up all the things they had taken out, and the three of them got on the truck and set off again.
After driving for three consecutive days, they finally saw some people. Although there were not many of them, it was good news for them to be able to confirm that they were taking the correct route.
After stopping the car, Shen Yao ran over to ask about the situation and received a grass-flavored nutritional supplement.
"This is the outskirts of the base. If we drive along the main road for about two hours, we will reach Base No. 25.
There is no clear division within the base, only two residential areas, inner and outer.
Because there are so many people, those who can’t earn points live in the slums around the base.”
Shen Yao got in the car and said that Base No. 25 recruits outsiders all year round and offers free registration.
However, due to the unknown identity of outsiders, they cannot buy houses in the inner area even if they have a lot of money in their pockets, and can only live in slums or outer areas.
The two of them currently have a child, so living in the slums is definitely not an option, so they can only choose a place outside the area.
"We will live in the outer suburbs to get through this year's cold season, and when the mild season arrives next year, we will find other ways to move into the inner suburbs."
Cheng Qi started the car as he spoke. As the steering wheel turned, the family of three headed straight for Base No. 25, which was dozens of miles away.
Because they wanted to arrive as quickly as possible, Cheng Qi drove fast. In less than two hours, they saw the gray-black city wall that was dozens of meters high.
Compared with the silver-white walls of the Dawn Base, the walls of Base No. 25 appear grand and majestic, lacking the coolness of cold metal and gaining some historical weight.
The truck stopped in front of the base gate. Cheng Qi got off to negotiate with the staff at the gate. Then the truck changed lanes and was taken to an open space.
"Name, age, whether the gene is awakened, and a brief family situation."
The staff handed a thin white card to Cheng Qi and pointed to a brown-yellow building behind him. "That's the registration department of the base. Go there and enter your information first, then buy a universal communication watch for the base. If you have any questions, the relevant personnel will be responsible for answering them."
After saying that, the staff left first, leaving the family of three standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
Shen Yao and Cheng Qi looked up at each other, then ran straight towards the brown-yellow building not far away.
Although it looks a bit rustic, the public area inside the building is very large. The first and second floors are all offices, and they can even sell supplies here directly to exchange points for purchasing communication watches.
When the two men came in, they only carried a backpack filled with some relatively fresh wild goat meat.
I might as well sell half a fan, nearly 5000 kilograms, in exchange for points.
"In the mild season, meat and wild vegetables are relatively cheap, but fruits are more expensive. If you have any fruits, you can choose to sell them."
The staff took out two high-end watches and gave them to them after deducting one thousand points.
The next step was to complete various registrations. By the time Shen Yao and the others finished, more than half an hour had passed, but they still had no idea about the most important matter of buying a house.
You need to go to the Housing Authority to inquire about the house, but as we all know, in places with a large population, the supply of houses always exceeds the demand.
There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Base 25 alone. When they drove over, they passed through the slums. The low and crowded buildings were densely packed and stretched for a kilometer from the city gate. It is conceivable how many people are in the base city.
Shen Yao looked at Cheng Qi and pointed at the truck they brought. "Try it?"
For now, I can only exchange the car for the house, because the vehicle is an important tool for going out to collect information, and its importance is equally as that of the house.
Shen Yao and Cheng Qi currently have no way to purchase a house inside the base relying solely on points, so they have to look for other ways and means.
…………
Qian Jinbao likes to hang around the gate of the base when he has nothing to do recently.
I don’t know what’s going on, but compared to previous years, the number of foreign population this year has increased significantly, and even he, the middleman, has benefited from it.
The young couple in front of him had been his target for a while.
What's more, the young couple has a child in their arms, so they definitely need a house in the base city.
"Brother, there is a small house in the outer area. Would you like to consider it?"
Qian Jinbao came up quickly, raised his mouth carefully, and stared around.
He was the fifth person to come to them. The first four had their own little thoughts, and Cheng Qi rejected them decisively.
The man in front of him, "How about the price? Houses in the inner area are not recommended?"
Qian Jinbao grinned and said, "Brother, the houses in the inner district are good, but the key is that you can't buy them with your status.
I have more houses in outer areas, and the prices are 10% to 20% more expensive than those from the Housing Authority.
After all, this is my only livelihood, so I have to make a little extra.”
After saying that, Qian Jinbao introduced himself and said that he was quite famous in the outer area of Base 25, and if you didn’t believe him, you could ask around.
Cheng period:......
Cheng Qi did not speak, but Shen Yao explained the conditions of their preferred house, "Brother, if you have a suitable one, take us directly there."
Qian Jinbao gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law is very nice. Please come over here."
The two sides set out on foot, and after walking for about two hours, they finally found a house that Qiuye liked.
It is an ordinary two-story building. The only special thing about it is that the front and back yards are very large, and you can even add on to the yard yourself.
"How many points?" Cheng Qi asked the price and displayed a picture of the truck they drove through his watch.
He said that he would accept barter on the condition that a badly damaged car could be repaired free of charge, and that his family was coming to the Riji area to buy a house and needed to change the car.
"A truck in exchange for a house in another district, it's easy to tell who gets the better deal."
It was also because they had just arrived and didn't want to be too high-profile. The truck was obtained for free, and keeping it would cause endless trouble. Otherwise, they would never do a business that would lose money.
Qian Jinbao: ...
My heart was filled with excitement and my hands were shaking. I never expected that I would get such a big order when I went out!
truck?!
It’s been done!
Let’s see what the eldest brother can scold him for this time. He has made great contributions to the Qian family!
"Brother Cheng, let's go straight to the front. My brother has a better house than this one." The house in front of them did not belong to their Qian family. It would not be cost-effective to sell it. They had to get the good things for themselves.
Qian Jinbao smiled even more brightly, which was seen by Cheng Qi and Shen Yao. It meant that the bait thrown out was effective and the big fish was caught.
go with!
How can I not go!
Who would be willing to live in a bad house when there is a good one? Since they can’t keep the trucks, they will try their best to benefit themselves. They have children to support.
In the end, the two chose a three-story building just a few dozen meters away from the inner area.
Although the backyard of the small building is not large, the front yard is a full half larger than the previous one.
There is even a small garden in the front yard, which can be used to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks (all are species specially provided by the base, and wild species are not allowed to be raised without permission).
Qian Jinbao introduced it seriously without any hesitation, or even if he had some small thoughts, it would not affect anything in the big picture.
Cheng Qi discussed it with Shen Yao and both accepted Qian Jinbao's proposal. However, it was already late outside and the staff of the Housing Authority had gone off work, so anything had to wait until tomorrow morning.
"Well, even if it doesn't work out, we are still friends. If you need me in the future, just come to me," Qian Jinbao patted his chest loudly. Anyway, the big talk had already been made.
Cheng Qi smiled and called Qian Jinbao his brother, promising to transfer the ownership of the car and hand it over tomorrow morning. Besides, they were new in the place and didn't know anything, so there were many things they needed Qian Jinbao's help and guidance.
Several people dispersed in front of the base hotel. The family of three spent points to book a family room, took a quick shower and fell into a deep sleep.
As for dinner? There are plenty of nutritional supplements.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, checked out of the hotel, Qian Jinbao was waiting outside with a middle-aged man.
"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, this is my eldest brother," Qian Jinbao led the middle-aged man forward and introduced them to each other with a smile.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Qianzhuang. The house that Jinbao showed you before is under my name," Qianzhuang said that he needed to handle the transfer procedures at the Housing Authority, and although private cars were allowed at Base No. 25, there would be restrictions on vehicles.
"You two have just arrived at Base 25, so I can't cheat you in this regard.
The base doesn't care about the origin of the car, but for safety reasons, you still have to pay to get a license plate. It's a form of insurance and can reduce the chances of being attacked or robbed in the wild."
Qian Zhuang and Qian Jinbao are somewhat similar, especially when they smile, the two seem like they were carved from the same mold.
Cheng Qi expressed sincerely that they didn't quite understand and asked Brother Qian for some guidance.
Qianzhuang waved his hand and said, "It's not like we can give you advice, we all just want to make a living.
Since Brother Cheng doesn't mind, I will talk about this matter, mainly..."
Qian Zhuang was a bit talkative, and Qian Jinbao occasionally helped to add a few words. On the way to the Housing Authority, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi just listened to what the two brothers were talking about.
Because the price offered was reasonable, the bank might also want to bring Cheng Qi in. After all, the bank had its own private mercenary team with dozens of people, which was considered small to medium-sized in scale.
"Brother Cheng, we have to go out of town to hunt and gather supplies soon. We can only ask Jinbao to help with the rest. Please forgive us."
Qian Zhuang felt a little embarrassed, and felt like a scumbag who ran away after using his money. In fact, he really had to leave. Hundreds of mouths in the mercenary team depended on him for their livelihood, and he really couldn't afford to delay.
"Brother Qian, you're too polite. We can take care of the rest. Besides, Brother Jinbao has been very generous and reliable these past two days. We don't want to keep you any longer."
Compared with the busy money shop owner, Qian Jinbao is prone to trouble due to his idleness.
Quickly waving his hand to send away his elder brother who was delaying him, Qian Jinbao rubbed his palms and said that he had to move house next and it would not be possible with just the three of them, so he would call for free help.
Free help?
Cheng Qi said that they could pay points, so how could they let people come and work for free.
Survival in the mutated world is difficult, no matter where you are, everyone relies on their own abilities.
"We are family and we don't have different opinions. You will also make a living in the Qian family mercenary team in the future," Qian Jinbao explained that newcomers to the mercenary team will enjoy some preferential treatment, but helping to move the luggage is not a big deal.
Now that things have come to this, it would be ungrateful for Cheng Qi to refuse again.
Besides, what Qian Jinbao said was absolutely right. Cheng Qi agreed to join the Qian family mercenary team.
However, considering that Cheng Qi has been busy with family affairs recently, the bank did not let him go hunting with the team. Once his family is settled, Cheng Qi will not be idle like this.
Cheng Qixian and Qian Jinbao drove a truck parked in a public parking lot, and then delivered the supplies on the truck little by little into the house that had been renamed after them.
Including the truck and the car in the carriage, Cheng Qi took photos and uploaded them through his watch, finally completing the safety procedures that the bank had mentioned before.
“The car needs to be sent to the mercenary team for repair, and I’ll get the license plate for you when it arrives.
Let's take care of the house for the next two days. The mercenary team will arrange people to go out hunting every day, so there is no need to worry about not being able to collect enough supplies for the cold season."
Qian Jinbao led everyone into the car and explained a few words about the living conditions inside the base before driving the truck away.
Cheng Qi turned around, locked the door, and took Shen Yao into the room to rest.
“There are furniture and appliances in the space, but we can’t just buy nothing.”
They can use this to cover up themselves, but that doesn't mean the people in the base are fools. If they blatantly take out items that were not there before, it shows that there is something wrong with them.
"I'm going to the exchange center at the base. You and Manman stay at home."
The watch still has the points left from selling cars and supplies, which is more than enough considering the current price situation in Base No. 25.
"Go ahead, I'll tidy up the space and see if there's anything insignificant that I can take out," Manman in her arms was already snoring loudly in sleep. Shen Yao secretly changed her hand to relieve the numbness in her arm.
Cheng Qi and Shen Yao acted separately, one bought things crazily from the exchange center and sent them back, while the other picked out inconspicuous small items from the space to decorate the room.
This busy work lasted for three whole days.
The originally empty room was completely renovated and looked more luxurious and grand than the house in the Dawn Base.
Cheng Qi ran to the Qian family mercenary team early in the morning and drove back the repaired car with the license plate.
Because the area where they currently live is generally wealthy, the cars, although eye-catching, are not as noticeable as imagined.
Cheng Qi was relieved. Spending more money was indeed useful. If he moved to several areas near the outskirts of the base, his car might be the source of trouble.
"We are going to go hunting in the wild today. There is still more than half a month before the cold season. Qianzhuang asked me to make preparations first and go hunting with them in two days."
The family must always have some visible income. Although there were a lot of supplies in the truck at the beginning, they are a family of three, not to mention the two adults, and there are also children who need careful care. They cannot do without enough supplies.
Shen Yao got into the car with a full stomach and full of energy.
"Mrs. Qian recommends several good collection points that are very close to the base."
The Qian family is very emotionally intelligent when dealing with people. Shen Yao doesn't have much contact with them, but they can predict what they need in advance.
Including the contact information on the watch and some daily life issues, all were handled by the wife of the money shop.
As a result, Shen Yao developed a liking for Mrs. Qian even before she met her.
"There is a large pomelo forest less than five kilometers west of the base. Five kilometers further ahead, there are edible sweet potatoes growing in the fields. Three kilometers further ahead, there is..."
Shen Yao lowered her head and read as she looked. As the car started up, they slowly left their residence, and the family of three officially embarked on a new collecting journey.
