284 Looking at Houses
Wan Dapeng was more open-minded than Yu Xinya. “It’s okay. It’s such a big place. I don’t believe there’s no place for us to stay.” Furthermore, since Guan Sheng and the other leaders were not staying here, the survivors might go and harass the residents here in the future. As a small base, they were weak and had fewer people. They would definitely suffer if they lived here. Therefore, Wan Dapeng felt that not living here was a good thing.
After Wan Dapeng expressed his thoughts, Yu Xinya agreed with him. “Your worry is not without reason, but we’re not familiar with this place. Where can we go to stay?” Du Yue and He Xing did not plan to stay with the people from the second base. They were already very restricted on the way here. Now that they had finally arrived, they wanted to find a place to stay alone. It would be more convenient for them to do anything in the future. Du Yue looked at the two of them. “Let’s go out and look for a place.”
It would be best if they could find a suitable place to live right away. If they could not find one, it would still be helpful for them to know more about the third base.
Yu Xinya did not have any objections. “Sure, it’s good to go out for a walk. Da Peng, you stay behind and watch over everyone. Don’t let them run around.”
Wan Dapeng nodded. “You go. Leave the base to me.”
He Xing walked over to Wan Dapeng and handed him a gun. “If someone harasses you, don’t be afraid. At this time, you can’t be too easy to talk to, or you’ll be bullied to death in the future!”
Wan Dapeng felt a weight in his hand. He looked down and realized it was a gun. His eyes were about to pop out. “Brother, I’m afraid…” Halfway through his sentence, Wan Dapeng seemed to have thought of something. He took a deep breath and then said again, “Okay, thank you. I’ll return the gun to you when you’re back.”
He Xing only smiled when he heard this. He did not say anything. Since he had already taken it out, he had no intention of taking it back. He did not lack this gun, but Wan Dapeng and the others did. When they were out, Yu Xinya sat in He Xing’s car. The trunk was full of supplies. Du Yue tidied up the place and made space for Yu Xinya in the backseat.
They left the courtyard and went back the way they came. Not long after, He Xing stopped the car. Yu Xinya looked outside curiously. “What is this place?”
“When I passed by just now, I took a look at these shops on the side of the road. These are real estate agents.”
Hearing He Xing’s explanation, Yu Xinya was even more surprised, “Real estate agents? That’s amazing.”
The construction of the third base was almost no different from before the apocalypse. The three of them got out of the car and walked inside. The decorations here were also antique, and it was obvious that the decorations were from before the apocalypse. The lights in the building were all in warm colors. Although it was not very bright, it gave people a very comfortable and warm feeling when matched with the decorations.
The three of them had just entered the door when a man came up to them with a smile. “Hello, are you looking to rent or buy a house? If you have any requests, you can tell me. We have a complete house collection, so I’ll definitely help you find a house that you like. I’m Wu Yan, and you can just call me Old Wu.”
Du Yue was a little surprised. “You have so many available? Let’s take a look.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.” Wu Yan took out a tablet, unlocked it, and handed it to them. On the screen was a photo of a building. “This is currently the smallest single apartment. The house area is about 20 square meters, and it should be enough for four to five people to live in. There are many families in the base who rent such houses.”
Du Yue looked at the photo on the tablet. It was a very small room about 20 square meters with a guest bedroom and a bed as soon as one entered. Other than that, there were no other furniture or home appliances. The photo was already so simple, so the original appearance of the house would probably be even simpler.
Du Yue only took one look before looking away. “We’d like to see other houses.”
Wu Yan showed them a few more photos. There were photos of one, two, and three-bedroom units. There was also a small villa and an antique courtyard. The last thing Du Yue saw was the dormitory that Wu Yan had said could accommodate hundreds of people.
