The meeting was not long, and Su Hao quickly walked out of the office building.

Tear open the envelope given by Chen Yanlin, which contained five hundred yuan blue coins.

According to the historical trajectory, the exchange ratio between the world dollar and silver bone and crystal will be almost at the current level. At the latest in February next year, the United Nations Financial Organization will issue relevant documents requiring all countries to implement this standard.

The process of world monetary integration begins from then on.

However, not all countries agree with this practice, but the opponents are the minority after all. Oppositions have no effect in front of the absolute majority of the appointees.

When the base city was initially built, the military had already considered that a large number of civilians would be included. Therefore, except for the military-controlled areas, the rest were mostly buildings with strong structures.

These civilian buildings do not consider aesthetics at all, and the design angle is purely practical and maximized. Except for the walls and columns supporting the building, all spaces are compressed to a minimum. The standard room area is about five square meters. Except for a bed, it is impossible to stuff excess furniture into it.

In peacetime, no one would consider buying a house of such a type.

Now, in addition to paying the fees for entering the city, refugees must also obtain their own shelter from the city through hard labor and death hunting.

No one cares what you did before———Officials, celebrities, experts, workers, white-collar workers, and farmers who want to live here must forget the past and face the present.

Just like the song "The rhythm is cheerful and the tone is self-reliant, but it is hated and criticized by many people: "It's just starting over."

The civilian area of ​​the base city is divided into two parts. In official documents, the letters "A" and "H" are usually used as synonyms. Strictly speaking, the boundary range between Area A and Area H is not obvious, and it is easy to judge from the appearance--not all buildings in the city are single rooms of five square meters. There are also luxurious houses with 20 square meters, 50 square meters, and even hundreds of areas.

Of course, the price of purchase or rent must increase exponentially.

If the standards of "rich" or "poverty" are used as distinction in the civilized era, then those who are qualified to live in Area A are all rich people.

This definition standard is actually very vague.

In addition to civilians, the residents of Area A also include wealthy consortiums. They occupied a considerable amount of land and built luxury buildings belonging to their respective forces without undermining the security defense plan.

To be fair, the wealthy consortium actually has no privileges.

The reason why they can get these is that they must pay the military the corresponding amount of silver bones and crystals in exchange. They buy houses in various base cities and then sell them to other civilians at a higher price. Or hoard them in large quantities, specifically for renting them, and make profits from them.

These practices are not illegal. Under the eyes of the military, it is impossible to force buying and selling. All transaction procedures must go through a housing exchange. Everything maintains the basic business standards of the civilized period.

However, in this world, as long as there are rich people, there must be poor people.

Except for the essential daily necessities and weapons on everyone, all the supplies were loaded into the back of the truck.

Although Su Hao was just a lieutenant officer who had not yet been assigned to the unit, he also had some military privileges. Through the relationship of Secretary Chen Yanlin, he applied for a personal item reserve card and sent the truck to the military control area warehouse. Then, he drove straight into the civilian area in an off-road vehicle full of people.

Five hundred yuan blue coins are equivalent to fifty milligrams of silver bones, or five crystals.

The exchange ratio between silver bones and currency has always been very stable. As for crystals, they only seem precious during this period. For now, a considerable number of zombies have not yet evolved. The number of mutated creatures with crystals in their brains is rare, and the currency exchange rate is naturally very high. This situation will change after half a year. At that time, there were no more zombies, only blood zombies and humanoids. The crystal appearance rate reached 100%, and the currency exchange rate also fell to the same as silver bones.

In front of a newly completed residential building in Area A, Su Hao stepped on the brakes.

The building administrator is a burly middle-aged man wearing a clean old military uniform without collar flowers and erectile bananas.

People who dress up in this way are usually reserve civilians. Most of them are strong people selected by local inspection stations from refugees, but they failed to pass the basic assessment of the recruit training camp and were eliminated. These people have good physical fitness, but they are not as good as regular soldiers after all. After receiving non-enhancing potions, they can only wander between ordinary people and soldiers.

Most of the military's combat forces are on the front line, and the daily order of the base city can only be left to these people to manage. Their identities are equivalent to police, responsible for handling various cases and various disputes between civilians. In particular, the operation of certain official income projects is often handled by them.

The administrator in front of him looked a bit vicissitudes. The old military uniform was wrinkled and white in many places. The buttons were open and the clothes were half-collapsed. His hair was short, but his beard was very thick and hard. He smelled of alcohol all over his body, and he was holding a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Su Hao and others standing in front of him casually, and asked lazily: "Rent a house? Or buy a house?"

This is very direct, without any extra words——This is not a nightclub, nor a cafe.

Su Hao did not answer. He smiled faintly and asked, "What kind of room do they have?"

The administrator seemed to have not woken up from the hangover yet. He stretched his waist with sleepy eyes, took out a table covered with stains and grime from the drawer, threw it on the table with a "splash", muttering vaguely: "...it's all on it, find it yourself, call me if you look for it."

As he said that, he pulled a chair and sat down, put his hands on the table, and then leaned his head up. While smoking, he closed his eyes and took a nap.

This style is quite a bit of the "state-owned" style from the civilized era.

Su Hao did not comment.

He picked up the form and flipped it around casually, and found that the thing was extremely rough. There were no beautiful pictures of the civilized era, nor detailed apartment types. Apart from the simple and boring square meters of numbers and floors, there was no unnecessary things.

Tang Zi looked behind Su Hao, looking at her head with a puzzled expression, and asked in confusion: "These numbers... represent the house?"

No wonder: In a sense, this form is actually a house advertisement for District A of the base city.

Not to mention shoddy, it is very dirty and disgusting. Compared with the brochures with exquisite workmanship and detailed data descriptions and renderings in the civilized era, it is simply two completely different concepts.

Yes, the world has changed. People no longer pursue the beauty of superficial forms, but focus on practicality and survival.

Tang Zi subconsciously raised his head and moved his eyes to the administrator who was sleeping soundly like a dead pig.

She clearly remembered: when I went to see houses in new properties, whenever I walked into the hall, I would immediately greet a few young and beautiful sales ladies. Their voices were as gentle as nightingales, and their faces were as beautiful as flowers... Think about it at that time, and then look at the man in front of me who was unshaven and looked ignorant... Although both of them were engaged in the same profession, they had no similarities at all.

Su Hao smiled unanimously, pointed to a location on the table and asked: "How much does this room on the third floor, 50 square meters cost?"

The burly administrator didn't even want to open his eyes. He burped and smashed the cigarette butts that were not left, and said in a speechless manner: "...Wa... Want to buy it? Or do you want to rent it?"

Su Hao asked back: "What is the price to buy?"

"The officer can get a discount of 9.5... but if you buy it, it's a bit expensive--the full property rights house with electricity and water supply systems, a total of 15,300 yuan in blue coins. Well... the price is tax-inclusive."

The middle-aged man raised his head, opened his mouth, yawned a bad yawn, and said slowly: "If you buy a house, you will have permanent residence. You will not have to pay silver bones and crystals to enter the city in the future, and you will no longer be subject to the temporary residence time."

Xinyan intervened and continued to ask: "What if it's rent?"

The middle-aged man looked at her and then showed a stunning expression on his face. After a few seconds, he returned to his lazy tone of not waking up, and said with a strong nasal voice: "If you rent it, it will be much simpler - 500 blue coins per month. There is no discount or discount... Well, I forgot to tell you: Whether you buy or rent, water consumption will be charged extra. There is a coin-operated automatic water heater in the room. That thing only eats coins with a denomination of ten yuan blue coins, and water is supplied for five minutes each time."

For some reason, Su Hao suddenly felt a little moved.

This information is exactly the same as what I saw in the computer in the future world.

In order to maximize the concentration of silver bones and crystals, the military has imposed various strict restrictions on civilians living in the base city. From food to daily necessities, medicines to weapons, and even the most basic drinking water, they must be exchanged with blue coins or officially recognized special substances.

In the early days of the Black Era, these high-pressure measures aroused widespread disgust among the people and also caused a certain scale of chaos. Many opponents were expelled and became wilderness refugees. The contradiction between insults, ridicule, hatred and the military was increasingly intensified, but due to the excessively disparate strength, there was no comprehensive violent conflict. Civilians began to be forced to obey. When the second and third generations of humans of the Black Era were born, there were no many survivors of the civilization era. The new humans naturally believed that these rules were ordinary and unconventional. They began to get used to and began to obey.

Some people occasionally find some yellowed old books in abandoned city libraries. The words on "freedom" and "democracy" look like stories that happened in another world...

"Lease one month for now"

Su Hao put away his thoughts, took out five white crystals from his pocket, and placed them gently on the table.

According to the current currency value, these crystals are equivalent to five hundred yuan blue coins.

The middle-aged man picked up the crystal and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he began to register the identity information of the occupant.

The purpose of renting this house is to have a fixed contact point in the base city. If you have additional needs, you can obtain weapons and supplies from here. In the house renter column, fill in the names of Tang Zi and Wang Jundi.

Rental is just a temporary transition.

Ten thousand yuan of blue coins is equivalent to hundreds of crystal stones.

Su Hao checked his military salary——a monthly salary of 157 yuan.

He has a lot of crystals and a lot of silver bones. With the current high exchange rate between crystals and blue coins, he can undoubtedly make a big profit.

However, you can't be too hasty in this kind of thing.

Su Hao believed: In the darkest corner, there must be several pairs of eyes staring at him.

Behind "wealth" is always a bunch of words such as "greed", "coveting", and "robbing".

Except for the wealthy consortium, there are very few people who are currently able to buy real estate in the base city.

Su Hao doesn't want to be a first bird.

At least not now.

Saying goodbye to the fat man and woman Tang Zi and Wang Jundi, Su Hao drove into the military residential area adjacent to Area A.

The buildings here tend to be militarized, not too high, and most of the outer houses are trapezoidal. They are closely matched and special passages are set up between the floors. Several buildings have helipads on the top floors, which are very close to the warning tower. There are sand barricades on the ground entrance, and armed soldiers are stationed inside.

Perhaps because it is not yet time to get off work, I look around and feel that all the residents here seem to be women.

The letter of introduction signed by the Chief of Staff of the Group Army Chen Yanlin was very effective. Su Hao did not take much effort and quickly handled a series of relevant procedures for Xinyan. The family department in charge of the family opened a room in the sun and introduced the precautions to the new residents in an extremely sweet tone. When he left with a flattering smile, he still kept in mind that Xinyan repeatedly——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The last one to be placed was Yang Lulu.

Su Hao and Xinyan took her into the gate with the sign "Chengdu Base Second Complete School".

This is an educational institution funded by the military. The three schools of primary, junior and high schools have merged, and most of the students are boarding. Considering the current number of civilians in the base city, two such schools have been temporarily opened.

According to the original idea, such public schools were specially designed for the families of soldiers who died in battle and were not open to civilians. As the scope of activities of mutated creatures continued to expand, some wealthy consortiums had to enter the base city and seek military protection. They asked their children to enjoy formal education. In order to obtain a wider range of special sources of materials, the senior military leaders finally agreed to the wealthy consortium to pay a large amount of materials and elite personnel in exchange for a certain number of enrollment places.

Yang Lulu was wearing a red and black plaid Scottish saurus, carrying a bulging schoolbag, lowered her head, and stood outside the student dormitory without saying a word.

She kept looking at the shiny black leather shoes under her feet and brand new white velvet stockings.

All of this is new.

Xinyan has been with Yang Lulu. She hugged the little girl's shoulders, talked about various relaxed and pleasant topics, and tried hard to make the atmosphere liven up. But Yang Lulu had been expressionless and showed no sign of laughing on her face.

Su Hao walked up to Yang Lulu, squatted down, and held the little girl's hands.

He said seriously: "You should smile more. If you keep tense like this, you will get muscle stiffness sooner or later."

Yang Lulu had no reaction to the joke. She looked at Su Hao and asked seriously: "Do you have to leave me here?"

After Su Hao left Chen Yanlin's office, she kept asking this question.

"There are a lot of things that we can't teach you."

Su Hao's expression was unprecedentedly solemn and honest: "I can teach you how to shoot, drive, and also teach you how to hunt zombies in the simplest way. You are a smart girl, and you master knowledge at the speed of any genius. Many people will praise you when they mention you---You are very familiar with human body structure and know common sense of mechanical and vehicle repair. You can disassemble a gun into parts and assemble it. Even adults feel ashamed of flying knives and rock climbing techniques."

Yang Lulu slowly grinned and said, "I can cook and wash clothes. I am very useful. So, you should take me away instead of staying here."

"That's exactly what I want to say----"

Su Hao carefully looked at the stubborn little girl, and his voice gradually became gentle: "I can get all the textbooks from elementary school to university from the library. But I can't interpret them one by one for you. Yes, we are looking for teachers among the survivors of that city, but not many people meet the requirements. I really want to build our own school, but it takes time. You will grow up. Life will never suddenly stay at a certain stage because of human needs. In addition to Chinese and mathematics, you also need to learn more subjects. The world will not always be black. We need artists, poets, and someone will specifically record this history for future generations to study. This is definitely not something that one or several people can accomplish. You are still alive, you will become an adult, and you have to pass on the things in your mind to others to know how to deal with it. Then, repeat this monotonous but significant process."

Yang Lulu bit her lip hard. She raised her head, looking at Su Hao pitifully like a weak little rabbit.

"I understand all of what you said. I'm just... afraid that someone will bully me."

"Bully?"

Su Hao and Xinyan looked at each other, and the two were a little amused and crying.

In the team, Yang Lulu is a key protection object for many "worker bees", and the silver bones collected will be given priority. Yang Lulu is now an absolute fifth-level reinforcement person. She is better than most "worker bees", let alone ordinary civilians in the base city and other children in the school.

Speaking of bullying... it's almost the same for her to bully others.

Su Hao wiped his face hard, suppressed the urge to laugh, approached Yang Lulu's ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Remember here, don't hit people casually."
