Li Chuang smiled bitterly, his eyes full of envy, "You still have the ability! The weekend has been so long, and you can still have such a good time, and you can even find an RV. If I had known this, I might as well not have come to the base in the first place
, maybe life can be better with you by my side."
Listening to what Li Chuang said, no one from Nan Ci said a word.
The most taboo thing between people is to communicate briefly and deeply
They didn't know each other very well, but what Li Chuang said made it seem like they had a good relationship.
Even if Li Chuang didn't take his family to the base, Nan Ci wouldn't have taken them with him, so what he said is simply untrue.
Although Nan Ci and the other two remained silent, Li Chuang did not show the slightest embarrassment on his face and still looked at them with a smile.
"You have just arrived at the base. Are you not familiar with the situation there? I can tell you about it."
Just listening to Li Chuang's words, you know that he is also a smart person.
Seeing that playing the emotional card was of no use, I started to exchange benefits instead.
Compared to playing the emotional card, Nan Ci preferred this method. This time he nodded, "Then please tell us."
Li Chuang thought for a moment, "You should know that the base is divided into an aboveground city and an underground city. The people in charge of the base, as well as those with power, all live in the underground city.
In addition to these people, ordinary survivors have to pay a sum of supplies if they want to enter the underground base.
The entrance fee alone is 50 kilograms of food for one person. No one is allowed to walk around outside in the underground city after nightfall, and no one is allowed to sleep outside. So in addition to the entrance fee, you must prepare enough rent. Otherwise, you will have to wander inside for a while.
Circle, come out before dark."
Hearing this, Mu Qianqian couldn't help but ask a question, "What if I don't come out before dark?"
Li Chuang was silent, "If you don't come out before dark and don't find a place to live, you will be arrested and do hard labor. Unless you pay a large ransom, you will never have personal freedom in this life."
."
Mu Qianqian's eyes widened in shock, "Is this... too much? How come there is such an outrageous rule?"
As soon as Mu Qianqian finished saying this, Li Chuang's expression suddenly changed. He looked around with great vigilance. After making sure that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this case, I advise you not to say anything in the future. People in the base heard me and you will be arrested immediately. You will also be charged with a crime."
"What crime?"
"It may be to disrupt the order of the base, or it may be to disturb the security of the base, or to damage the reputation of the base... I am not sure what the specific charges are. But once you are charged with these crimes, you will not be able to redeem yourself even if you have supplies. In the future.
It’s a complete lack of freedom and human rights.”
Li Chuang's eyes moved around Mu Qianqian's body, "A person like you shouldn't be forced to do hard labor, but the end will definitely be worse than doing hard labor."
Although Li Chuang didn't say it explicitly, you can guess what he meant by just listening to these words.
Mu Qianqian's face darkened instantly, "If what you said is true, then where is this base? What's the difference between it and the wolf's den?"
Li Chuang suddenly laughed, his laughter was low and mixed with many complicated meanings, "Do you still think that the base is really the same as the world before the apocalypse? How is that possible?"
Nan Ci stopped Mu Qianqian from continuing to ask with his eyes, and asked a question himself, "Do you know what life is like in the underground city?"
Li Chuang shook his head, "I have never been in, but I heard that the building inside is like a building, with a large place and many floors.
Although it's underground, it's as bright as day inside.
It is clean and very warm inside, and there is electricity and hot water for free use. There are even shops and restaurants, and the lives of the people inside are no different from before the apocalypse."
When talking about this, Li Chuang's face showed endless yearning.
"If I hadn't lost a lot of supplies due to the earthquake, I could have lived down there with my family. If I could have lived down there, my family wouldn't have to suffer, and I wouldn't be as thin as I am now."
After Li Chuang muttered to himself for a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Nan Ci and the four of them, "You have so many supplies, let alone paying the entrance fee, even if you rent a luxurious house there,
I guess there won’t be any burden. From now on, you won’t have to worry anymore, and you won’t have to suffer from hunger and cold anymore. It’s great!”
It can be seen that Li Chuang is really envious.
Regarding Li Chuang's sigh, Nan Ci just smiled slightly and then asked, "What about the underground city?"
"Underground city?" Li Chuang was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "What does the underground city do? Do you want to live here forever? What's so good about this?"
"Whether it's good or not, you can tell us first, and then we'll know."
"Okay." Li Chuang was a little helpless, "The underground city is what you see now. All the buildings in the underground city are made of ice bricks. Only the general frame can be made of ice bricks, such as doors and windows.
It really doesn’t work, you can only think of a way yourself.
Even if you find a way to get the doors and windows, it is not foolproof. Someone must keep an eye on the doors and windows of your home all day long, otherwise it is very likely that you will find that the doors and windows are missing when you go out or wake up after sleeping.
Fighting is not prohibited in the base, and no one cares whether you steal or not. As long as you are not rebelling, the people in the base will not care about you at all." "According to what you said, the underground city only provides everyone with a house made of ice bricks.
Everything else depends on the survivors themselves?"
"Yes, that's it. There are a lot of mutant animals outside. Some mutant animals are very ferocious and will actively attack people. The base has high walls and is also guarded. Compared with the outside, the base is still very safe.<
/p>
So even if life in the city above ground is not that good and they have to spend money on renting a house, not many people are willing to leave the base.
There is no need to rent a house to live outside, but life safety is not guaranteed.
Comparing the two, everyone knows which one to choose."
It is true that Nan Ci agreed with these words in her heart.
Compared with the materials needed to rent a house and life safety, the latter is of course more important.
Now that he almost understood the information about the base, Nan Ci did not continue to talk nonsense.
She turned around and entered the RV. After a while, she walked out carrying a two-pound bag of vacuum-packed millet and walked straight to Li Chuang.
