Doomsday Hoarding Gourmet

Chapter 393 Entering Hecheng
Although Lin Hai's matter slightly affected the mood of the two of them, after a good night's sleep, the two set off again.

"Chen, can I listen to music?" Shen Yichen had to pay attention to the road conditions when driving, so he never played music.

"Broadcast, I thought you didn't save it." Shen Yichen originally had the habit of listening to music while driving.

"How is it possible? Food for thought." Chen Yuanyuan said.

Chen Yuanyuan uses a tablet that stores music videos, connects it to the stereo in the car with Bluetooth, and plays pre-apocalyptic Hualiu music.

Listening to the familiar melody before the apocalypse, it turns out that music is eternal. I wonder if the singers and stars of the past will struggle like ordinary people in the apocalypse.

The two of them didn't have any urgent matters, so they stopped and stopped on the way, and they would go in and stroll around when they saw interesting post stations.

The current station is like the service area on the highway before the end of the world. The small ones only have some dining and parking spaces, the medium-sized ones have more accommodation and shops, and the large ones have gas stations.

There were occasional old people, women and children begging outside the post station, but Chen Yuanyuan ignored them.

"These beggars are organized into gangs. Generally, those who have no criminal records can find jobs in official post stations or factories even if they can't enter the base." Shen Yuchen said.

"There are no beggars anymore?" Before the end of the world, it was not difficult to see homeless people or beggars. There will be no such days now, right?
"Yes, but do you see their rosy complexions?" Shen Yichen laughed.

"Not really, where are those people?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"They're all dead. If they don't even grasp the opportunity to get a job, no one will save them in the last days." Shen Yichen said flatly.

Now that the population is plummeting, whether it is the army, the construction of bases, or some factories need manpower, they are basically recruiting people.

Although it cannot be said to be rich and expensive, it is absolutely no problem to make a living. If you are willing to work, it must not be difficult to find. The official can do this step and has surpassed many countries that are not prepared for the end of the world.

Along the way, Chen Yuanyuan also exchanged Xiangjia's compressed biscuits for many interesting little things: some ancient borrowings, out-of-print vinyl records, ancestral prescriptions, etc.

Although for others, it is not as realistic as a meal, but for Chen Yuanyuan who is not short of food and clothing, it is simply a large-scale leaking scene.

Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan who was shopping along the way, it seemed that shopping could really heal a woman's mood.

The two of them arrived near the Hecheng base at about two o'clock in the morning, two hours later than expected.

The Hecheng Base is located in a basin. The size of the base is slightly larger than that of the second phase of the Guangdong City Base, and the architectural style is also similar, mainly middle-rise buildings.

Before the end of the world, Hecheng was only a third- and fourth-tier city, and its development was mediocre.

But after the end of the world, because the Hecheng base is located in the middle of the three provinces, it is also an important road leading to the southwestern provinces, and it is easy to enter the city. During the booming development period of the fleet, the Hecheng base has also enjoyed a lot of economic dividends.

When Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen drove the RV to the entrance of the base, staff members stepped forward to register.

"Welcome to the Hecheng Base, both of you?" asked the staff member.

"Yes." Shen Yichen said.

"Is it a visitor or an application for settlement?" the staff asked.

"To travel, how long can I stay at most?" Shen Yichen said.

"Do you have ID cards from other bases? Let me check for you," the staff member said.

Shen Yichen handed the two people's Guangdong City base resident cards to the staff, and after the staff scanned the code with their mobile phones, they told them that each time they entered the city, they could stay for up to [-] days.

"Each person pays one hundred shells to enter the city, or five kilograms of grain."

"One hundred shells?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, our base invites you to cover the intranet wireless network, and the fee already includes the Internet access fee." The staff thought that Chen Yuanyuan thought it was too expensive.

"I mean what is Bei?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"This is the currency of our base. The full name is shells. You can also use the points of Guangdong City base to exchange for one to one, but there will be a 5% handling fee." The staff said.

Each base has its own currency, but the official bases have currency controls. The currencies of all bases are exchanged one-to-one, and only a handling fee of no higher than 5.00% can be charged.

"Then change it to five thousand points." Chen Yuanyuan said.

"Please wait a moment, it will take about 15 minutes to settle with Guangdong City Base." The staff member said.

Since the Yuecheng base uses electronic money, they must communicate by phone when exchanging, usually every half an hour, so there is still a wait.

It is said that it is a shell coin, but it is really made of shells. It consists of six shells of different sizes, namely [-] shells, [-] shells, [-] shells, [-] shells, [-] shells and [-] shell.

In addition to engraving the number, denomination and pattern on it, each shell coin is also covered with a layer of material reinforcement, which looks simple and not easy to fake.

After the two exchanged [-] shells, the rest were in [-] denominations. Fortunately, there was a hole in the shells so that they could be strung together, otherwise it would be troublesome to push the shells.

After the staff handled the visitor cards and exchanged the shells for the two, they asked about the car for the two.

"Do you need to park your car outside? Or will you drive in?"

"How much does it cost to park outside?" Shen Yuchen asked.

"Thirty bucks a day, if you drive the car in, most of the parking lots will cost a hundred bucks a day." The staff said.

Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yuchen discussed it, and five thousand points were more than enough to play for a week for the two of them, and they didn't need to save too much, so they decided to drive the car in as well.

I don't know how the hygienic environment is. If you can't find a suitable place to live, you are not afraid of losing your place.

Although the car will be a little hot at noon, but at least the car is clean and hygienic.

After the two entered the Hecheng base, they found that it was completely different from the Yuecheng base. It was a bit like a factory area, with trucks of all sizes pulling goods everywhere, and workers unloading goods with bare shoulders and sweating profusely.

After the two found a slightly more open place to connect to the wireless network of the base, they did not expect a message from the Yuechengtong App.

[Xiaoyue Travel Assistant: Now it is detected that your network connection is [Hecheng Base], do you need to switch to [Yuechengtong-Travel Version] for you? 】

After Chen Yuanyuan responded according to the instructions, the various chat boxes that were originally in the Guangdong City base turned gray, and two new dialog boxes popped up.

One is "Guangdong residents seek help from other places - Hecheng", and the other is "Hecheng base travel strategy".

"This Guangdong City Link is too considerate, it even provides services for outbound travel!" Chen Yuanyuan said.

"Although infrastructure and military bases in Guangdong City are only in the middle of the major bases, when it comes to scientific research and technology, they can be regarded as the wind vane of the major bases." Shen Yichen laughed.
