Chapter 151 Above ground city and underground city
Mu Qianqian came to Nan Ci curiously, "Nan Ci, Nan Ci, open it quickly and take a look! Look what's written on this paper!"
Not only Mu Qianqian was curious, but Nan Ci was also very curious. After hearing this, he opened the paper in his hand.
The piece of paper is about the same size as an A4 paper, with a simple map drawn on it and some dense words underneath.
Nan Ci read ten lines at a glance, and I quickly finished reading the words above.
The map is the topographic map of the base, and the words below are a brief introduction to the base.
If these things enter the base, you can know them clearly with just a little inquiry.
But knowing this before entering the base can give them some psychological preparation and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Overall, the pack of cigarettes given to Nanci just now was not a loss.
This base, as Chen Guoping said, calls itself the city’s first base.
This line is engraved on the base gate.
Just because the words are carved on the ice wall, you can’t see them clearly from a distance.
As the first base in the city, entry is not free.
Everyone who wants to enter the base must pay ten kilograms of grain.
Those who do not have food can also pay 0 kilograms of fuel.
These are only used as entry fees.
The base is divided into an above-ground city and an underground city. Whether you want to live in an above-ground city or in an underground city, you need to rent a house. Different facilities in the house, different levels of warmth, different geographical locations and other reasons will lead to different rents.
.
Of course, the rent at this time is not money, but food or fuel.
If you can't get food or fuel, it can be said to be difficult to move inside the base. It is no different from outside the base. There is still a risk of death at any time.
The above-ground city is equivalent to the outer city, and the underground city is the inner city.
Anyone who has the ability will choose to live in an underground city.
Firstly, it is because the underground city is warmer, and also because the facilities in the underground city are more complete.
If you have a choice, you will basically choose to live in an underground city.
The construction of this base started after the earthquake, and it has been several months now. During this period, countless manpower has been invested to achieve its current scale.
The entire base now covers an area of 100,000 square meters above ground.
It sounds like a lot, but it's not really that big.
If the base is a rectangle, and the length and width are each 1,000 meters, the area of the two bases is 10,000 square meters.
It’s not even as big as some communities before the end of the world.
Those communities before the end of the world were basically high-rise buildings, covering an area of 10,000 square meters, and the number of people who could live there was definitely many times that of today.
However, after heavy rains, snowstorms, earthquakes, and such a long period of extreme cold, the number of survivors has been greatly reduced. This base can cover such a large area and have so many survivors, it is already a very large base.<
/p>
This is just an underground city. How many floors there are in the underground city and how many survivors can live below are not marked in detail on this piece of paper.
You know, as the inner city of the base, the dungeon is also considered the core location. It is impossible to write all the information on such a piece of paper for everyone to know.
As soon as Nan Ci handed the paper to the old Taoist priest, he heard Mu Qianqian snort.
"To enter the city, you have to pay an entrance fee, ten kilograms of food or zero kilograms of fuel. For ordinary survivors, this is already a lot of supplies!"
Looking at Mu Qianqian's angry look, Nan Ci couldn't help but laugh, "What's there to be angry about? They run a base, not a shelter. It's not surprising that they charge admission fees."
"I know... I was just thinking, since it is an official base, shouldn't it accept survivors for free?"
Nan Ci raised his eyebrows, "But what about after accepting survivors for free? Do we need to provide them with shelter, food, fuel, and clothing for free? People are not satisfied with the situation.
It is impossible to provide for everyone unconditionally. It is better to set the conditions here from the beginning and everyone can support themselves.
Furthermore, I think there should be some tasks for these survivors to do in this base, so as to ensure that they can survive smoothly."
It’s just that the exploitation may be more serious and life will be harder.
Mu Qianqian was not an angry young man, so she quickly calmed down and smiled at Nan Ci sheepishly.
"Nan Ci, you're smart enough to figure out the stakes so quickly. I can't do it. I'm too stupid most of the time."
"There's no need to say that." Nan Ci said seriously, "Actually, you're just stupid sometimes."
Mu Qianqian, "???"
Mu Qianqian looked at Nan Ci with questions on her face. After realizing what Nan Ci was saying, she rushed forward and kept tickling Nan Ci.
The two were arguing for a while and felt that the RV was moving forward.
Although it is moving, the moving speed is very slow.
At this rate, it would be good to go in before dark.
But it doesn't matter even if they can't get in. They live in the RV anyway, so they won't feel cold even at night.
As time went by, the night wind suddenly picked up, making it more than a little bit colder than during the day, and even the wind and snow became heavier.
The survivors in line were shivering from the cold, but no one dared to make a fuss and continued to move forward slowly.
Nan Ci does not think that these people do not make trouble because they are of higher quality.
People are about to freeze to death, who cares about quality?
The reason why they don't make trouble must be because this base has the means of forcible suppression, and they all know the consequences of making trouble, so they are so well-behaved.
It is beneficial for the base to be tough, and Nanci and the others have also benefited from this.
Their RV is too eye-catching, and the several sleds tied to the back make many people want to move.
However, because of the deterrence of the base, no one dared to cause trouble at the entrance of the base, which saved Nanci and the others a lot of trouble.
After more than half an hour, it was almost dark, and it was finally Nan Ci's turn.
Zhou Ziyang lowered the window of the RV and looked at the people outside, "Do I need to register?"
"Need, need!"
The staff nodded and bowed, with a very good attitude, "I need you to register your name, and then I will issue you an ID card. You need to carry the ID card with you, otherwise you will be considered a shady person, and you will either be fined or kicked out of the base."
"Then register! My name is Zhou Ziyang, and they are..."
Zhou Ziyang reported the names of several people and took out the food he had prepared early in the morning.
