Chapter 288: Doomsday Crisis 26
Yiqing and Chen Hang didn't say a word, but in the end they both chose the room on the second floor.
They all knew that in an unfamiliar environment, easy evacuation was more important than anything else.
Aunt Sun did not comment on their choice. "Okay, let's register first."
She pushed over another form and a pen.
Chen Hang didn't answer, frowning and saying, "We have already registered."
Aunt Sun glanced at him and said, "The registration for entering the city is different from my registration. One is different from the other. Anyway, if you want to live in the house here, you must register with me."
The humane management that I just praised seems less humane at this moment.
But it’s understandable.
Chen Hang picked up the pen resignedly and said, "I'll fill in your information as well." He said this to Yiqing.
Of course Yiqing has no objection.
This table is a little more concise than the previous one.
There are only four items to fill in: name, gender, age, and relationship between family members.
Chen Hang finished writing it in no time.
Yiqing was watching from the side and didn't find any mistakes. At least it matched the previous information.
"Here are the keys to Room 2, Building 201. Take them." Auntie Sun pulled out several sets of keys from under the table, searched for them, and handed one over. "Let me make this clear to you. You can live in this house for free for the first three days. If you want to continue living here, you have to exchange it for contribution points."
Yiqing immediately asked: "How do you get contribution points? How do you exchange them?"
"When a superpower goes to the mission hall to accept an outbound mission, he or she can obtain different amounts of contribution points based on the difficulty of the mission.
Ordinary people can go to the base committee and find the director to sign up for construction work in the city. They can earn contribution points for tasks like sweeping the streets, farming, and moving bricks.
Of course, the contribution points that ordinary people can obtain are definitely less than those of people with special abilities.
As for how to exchange contribution points for length of stay, it depends on the size and location of the house. For example, for room 2-201 that you just selected, you need 2 contribution points to extend your stay for one day. It supports multiple ways of extending your stay, such as by day, week, month, quarter, year, etc.
Yiqing seemed to be thinking about something.
Aunt Sun thought she was worried about the contribution points, so she comforted her softly, "Your overall strength score is four stars, it's not difficult to get two contribution points a day."
Seeing that she took the initiative to bring up this, Chen Hang immediately took the wooden sign and asked: "The stars here are the overall strength ratings, so what does this word 'Dong' mean?"
"Dong stands for the East District, which means that your assigned residence is in the East District of the base."
"..."
-
Yiqing and Chen Hang settled down there.
Because the house was only free for three days, Chen Hang went to inquire about the missions and take on the missions to earn contribution points the next day.
Yiqing took Huahua out to make friends, as children are lively and it is not easy for the occasion to be dull.
Bringing children with you can also reduce other people's vigilance and make it easier to obtain information.
Yiqing casually brought up a few topics, and then asked casually, "By the way, what kind of person do you think our lord is?"
An older brother who was also with his child immediately replied: "The lord is a good man. We can have such a stable life now thanks to him."
His wife agreed, "Yes, last time someone hunted two wild boars and gave them to the lord, but the lord didn't just eat his own food and leave us alone. Instead, he divided the wild boars among us. Although there are so many people in the base, so each person can only get a small portion, but in this situation, we can eat a bite of fresh meat, and it is really thanks to the lord."
Speaking of meat, she became greedy again and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Another young woman heard them mention the lord and couldn't help but interrupt, "Last time a drunkard harassed me, luckily the lord passed by and saved me."
Yiqing glanced at her face and naturally noticed the blush on her cheeks.
She guessed that the lord should be quite good-looking.
Otherwise, the life-saving grace should be repaid with the thought of working like a slave in the next life, rather than the thought of giving oneself to the recipient.
Of course, this is just a joke.
A truly outstanding person is someone who is great at heart, not just in appearance.
In the evening, when Chen Hang came back from completing his mission, Yiqing shared the news he had learned today with him.
"This city lord has such a good reputation, he is probably a trustworthy person." Yiqing suggested, "Why don't we go find him tomorrow and tell him about the 'First Courtyard' to see if he is willing to send people to destroy the 'First Courtyard'."
"It would definitely be good to get help one day earlier and solve the problem of that dirty place," said Chen Hang.
Yiqing noticed that his face looked a little strange, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you run into any trouble when you went out today?"
Chen Hang shook his head. "It's not a big deal. I just joined a team when I was on a mission today. They have been dealing with the mutated zombies in Qingshan Town in recent days. I promised them today that we will be together in the next few days."
Going to see the lord is very important, but he cannot break his promise to others without any reason, so he is in a difficult situation now.
"That's it." Yiqing smiled helplessly, "I thought I had encountered some serious problem."
She said: "This is easy to solve. You can continue to go on missions with them to earn contribution points. I can communicate with the lord myself."
Chen Hang frowned, "I want to go with you."
Yiqing knew that he was worried.
After all, no matter how well others speak of the lord, he is only the lord in the eyes of others.
When it comes to making friends with people, he and I are the same type of people - rather than relying on one-sided opinions, we prefer to make judgments after personal contact.
"I'm not a dodder. If I encounter a problem, I have the ability to solve it myself." There was an irresistible firmness in her calm voice.
Chen Hang's words were stuck in his throat.
He was worried about her, but he didn't want his concern to become a burden to her.
Yiqing knew what he hadn't said yet, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Chen Hang promised: "I will come back as soon as possible. If I don't see you when I come back, I will go to the lord to find you."
Yiqing: "Okay."
-
Chen Hang went out early the next morning.
Yiqing took Huahua to the lord's residence, but was told that the lord was out and didn't know when he would be back.
Of course she couldn't just wait there, so she just walked around.
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
There were originally several people walking on the road.
But one of them suddenly coughed a few times, and the others immediately avoided him as if they saw a plague.
Seeing this, Yiqing suspected that there might really be some infectious disease in the city. Thinking that she had a child with her, she immediately pulled Huahua a few steps to the side.
Of course, her eyes were still on the person who had just coughed.
As a doctor, observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are basic skills.
But no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this person just had a common cold.
She also knew that the conclusions drawn based on visual observation alone might not be accurate. At this moment, it would be best for her to leave quickly like everyone else. No matter what illness this person had, the probability of it being contagious would be very small.
But she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I just have a cold... cough cough cough... I just can't suppress the cough, so it sounds serious, but I don't think it's a big problem. I'll get better after I endure it."
"But why are they avoiding you?"
"You haven't been sick since the end of the world, right?" The person glanced in the direction of Yiqing, and saw that the two, one big and one small, were all wearing warm down jackets. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Yiqing nodded, and then guessed, "Is it because the virus in the apocalypse is more powerful than the previous viruses, so even a cold is difficult to cure?"
"No... ahem... no, it's just that medicines are scarce right now, and people who get sick can basically only rely on themselves to fight it.
Ahem… In the past, minor ailments could be cured by taking medicine, but now there is no medicine, and minor ailments have become major ones. If they get more serious, I might even die.
Tell me, if you were chased by zombies for so long and didn't die, but now you die from a minor cold, who wouldn't feel aggrieved? Um... cough cough cough..."
In just a few words, she coughed several times.
I tried so hard to hold it back, but I just couldn't.
As he spoke, even his face turned purple.
After that, Yiqing began to pay attention to the expressions of the people he met on the road.
She found that although they had a place to stay at the base, most of them were in poor health, suffering from various diseases caused by malnutrition.
