Chapter 27: Living in Lincheng Base
Wen Qizhou, who had eaten bullfrog hot pot with Party A once, suddenly lost interest when he remembered the slimy texture.
He glanced at the green snake that had been pushed into the grass, picked up the hiking stick, and helped it move its nest to prevent it from jumping out.
When he encounters snakes and insects again later, he will not give them a chance to get close. He will either move them down the hillside or kill them with one kick.
The sun sets when we reach the top.
They stood next to a huge rock, looking at the colorful sunset, bathed in the orange-red glow.
Beautiful though it is.
But this feeling and scene are just like the ancient poem - the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk.
As dusk approaches, night will fall.
They no longer appreciated the fleeting beauty, and walked together on the mountain top covered with dead branches and leaves, and found a slightly wider and hidden cave before the sky became completely dark.
After cleaning up the snakes and insects crawling in the cave, they worked together to build a tent and then picked up branches and vines to cover the entrance of the cave.
"Qi Zhou, what do you want to eat?" Chi Yue lay on the thick mat, her consciousness sweeping across the still zone on the left side of the space.
"Mixed sauce noodles."
“Do you just want mixed noodles?”
"Well, I'm not very hungry." She fed him a lot of cherries and grapes in the afternoon, and he felt full.
Chi Yue took out a bowl of mixed sauce noodles, a bowl of pickled pepper beef rice noodles, and two bowls of snow pear and white fungus soup, and placed them on the folding table.
She turned on the camping light, crossed her legs and sat opposite him, enjoying a dinner in the cave full of silence.
"So sleepy." She felt sleepy after eating.
They came from Suishi City, took an eight-hour Zodiac ride, and climbed a mountain for two hours. They were really tired.
I heard that Qizhou was also feeling sleepy.
He and Chi Yue went into the space to wash up, then zipped the tent tightly, set the alarm clock and lay down in their double sleeping bags.
Saying "good night" to each other, he hugged Chi Yue who was pillowed in his arms and closed his eyelids that became increasingly heavy.
That night, the mountains were very peaceful.
They didn't sleep particularly peacefully, but they still replenished their energy, at least they were not as tired as they were yesterday.
Not long after the alarm clock rang at six o'clock, they once again put on their backpacks and set foot on the muddy path leading down the mountain.
The chirping of birds and the chirping of insects lingered in the forest.
The clear and loud sound was like a symphony, accompanying the two figures as they walked step by step towards the turbid water.
They got on the kayak and gradually left the majestic mountain, facing the rising sun and the breeze.
The assault boat drove 200km without stopping, and finally entered the area of Lincheng at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Yueyue, where is the base built?" Wen Qizhou looked around at the half-submerged building, finding it difficult to discern the direction.
"Linyun Mountain."
Chi Yue often went out to look for supplies in her previous life and was quite familiar with the route. She recalled: "Turn left ahead and go straight."
"Okay." According to the route indicated by Chi Yue, he controlled the assault boat to sail to Linyun Mountain and found a mountain road to stop.
Seeing that there were many people around, Chi Yue did not put the assault boat into the space, but deflated it, folded it and put it into a backpack, and then Wen Qizhou carried the engine up the mountain.
Not long after, we arrived at the base gate.
The base was transformed from a resort, and the words "Linyun Resort" are engraved on the door plaque and the security booth responsible for registration.
They showed their ID cards to register their information and followed the signs to the service center not far away.
There are two windows for leasing business in the service center. There are not many people queuing up at the moment, and it will be their turn soon.
"Are you renting a house or a tent?" The staff member looked up at them with a very standard smile on his face.
"Rent a house." Chi Yue smiled back and stuffed her with a 30ml bottle of luxury perfume behind the back of others: "Can you tell us about the situation in the base? We don't know much about it when we first arrived."
She got the right gift.
The staff touched the perfume box, their expressions were no longer as stiff as robots, and they softly talked about important information such as the base's point system, mission hall, and trading market.
It sounds different from the previous life.
Management and safety issues are more mature, and it can not only restrain others, but also prevent a series of man-made crises.
Chi Yue: "What about housing?"
"There are two options for housing. One is to choose a house built by the government, and the other is to choose a house that is already in the resort."
"The newly built houses by the government are all Datongbu and multi-person dormitories. The advantage is that the rent is very cheap, but the disadvantage is that they are too crowded, have no private space and are not convenient for washing."
“There are many types of rooms in the resort, such as hotel standard rooms, suites, small Western-style buildings, single-story villas, and Chinese-style villas. Although the rent is a bit more expensive, each house is well-decorated, with good sound insulation and good environment.
"
Chi Yue lived in a ten-person dormitory in her previous life.
Although the environment of the ten-person dormitory is better than Datongbu, the space is still small, and everyone's living habits are different, which can easily lead to conflicts and make it difficult to get a full night's sleep.
She pulled back from her thoughts, turned to whisper to Wen Qizhou, and chose the suite without hesitation: "Which floor is the suite on?"
"The eighth and ninth floors." The staff member turned on the iPad screen and showed them the house map: "There are three rooms left."
The room types and layouts of the suites are different, but the decoration is unified in a simple and cool style.
They didn't care about the decoration style. After comparing the orientation and layout, they decided to rent the south-facing suite on the eighth floor.
Wen Qizhou asked: "How to calculate the rent?"
"1,200 points a month." She pointed to the window to redeem points: "You need to redeem the supplies first."
There is a piece of paper taped to the window where you can redeem points.
The types of supplies currently collected by the base are written on the paper, as well as the number of points that can be exchanged for different supplies.
10 kilograms of rice and noodles can be exchanged for 100 points, 10 kilograms of pork, beef and mutton can be exchanged for 200 points, and various fruits, dehydrated vegetables, edible oils and seasonings can be exchanged for 20-100 points.
In addition to food, you can exchange more points for urgently needed items such as gasoline, diesel, generators and panels, boats, medicines, etc.
Anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs such as amoxicillin, cephalosporins, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and other anti-inflammatory drugs can be exchanged for 300 points.
They unanimously decided to exchange the medicine.
After all, the capacity of the backpacks they carry is too small, and it is obvious at a glance that they cannot hold much. If they take out 120 kilograms of rice, noodles or meat, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
Chi Yue took out a box of two-pack ibuprofen and a three-pack box of amoxicillin and placed them in front of the male employees.
Although it is difficult to find medicine nowadays, it is not impossible to find it, so when the other party saw the two boxes of medicine, he was not too surprised and just carefully put them away in the drawer.
"The total is 1,500 points." He took out a points card and recorded their information: "In addition to renting a house or a boat, the points can also be used to buy things. Don't you want to exchange more?"
“We won’t change it for the time being.”
She pretended to be cash-strapped, took the card, said "thank you" and went to rent a house from the lady just now.
After getting the door key and the base life manual, they walked through the two officially built buildings and headed to the hotel.
The hotel has only ten floors.
The first to seventh floors are standard rooms and single rooms, the eighth to ninth floors are suites, and the tenth floor is the helipad.
They took the safe passage upstairs. The safe passage was much cleaner than the uncleaned Yujingwan. There was a plate of mosquito coils and a sticky mouse board placed at the corner of each floor.
The sticky mouse board is very sticky and can not only stick to mice but also cockroaches. Although they have strong reproductive ability and are difficult to eliminate them all in a short time, it can also avoid flooding and causing trouble to residents to a certain extent.
.
"It's different when someone manages it." Chi Yue glanced at the rat struggling on the sticky board: "There is no smell in the corridor."
"really."
