Chapter 237: Base Construction (2)



Quan Yuanwei drank as well and said, "There are three types of bases out there. The central government establishes official bases, military bases are established and controlled by the military, and private bases are owned and operated independently."

"Currently, there is only one official base in Shoudu City, along with two military bases across the country. One is here in Juncheng City, and the other is in Jiangcheng City, about more than two thousand kilometers from here. The Air Force controls the military base in Jiangcheng City, and the army controls the military base here."

"As for private bases, they are scattered throughout the country. The biggest one is in Haicheng City, more than seven hundred kilometers from here."

Sima Yun added, "The Juncheng Military Base is currently being built about two hundred kilometers outside of Juncheng City."

"They are in the first phase of construction and are now recruiting survivors to help build the base. Survivors who participate in the construction will receive two meals a day and a house once the first phase is completed."

After listening to their explanation, Long Yu and Yao Ran exchanged glances.

They had already secured resident permits in the base for their friends, including the Sima and Quan families. However, sharing this good news with them would likely require Yao Ran and Long Yu to explain how they obtained the resident permits from Xu Qipeng.

As they both considered this, Shi Xuan spoke up, "I heard we need to pay to enter the base." Sima Yun nodded, "My elder brother asked a friend and found out that survivors who don't participate in building the base need to provide supplies to gain entry."

"To enter the official base, each person must hand over 10 kilograms of food. To join the military base, each person must hand over 40 kilograms of food. Entry requirements for private bases vary depending on their rules."

Hearing this, Huang Qian and the others fell silent.

Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Yao Ran decided to tell them about the resident permits. She looked at Quan Yuanwei and said, "We can all go to the base together. I have secured the resident permits, and we only need to go when the base begins to accept people."

As soon as her words fell, everyone except Long Yu was shocked.

Huang Qian looked at her curiously and asked, "Yao Ran, are you serious? How could you get the resident permits so quickly?"

Yao Ran had prepared for this question and calmly replied, "I know Commander Xu. He is the son of my grandfather's best friend, and he promised to let me live in the base with my friends."

She looked at Sima Yun and Quan Yuanwei and added, "That includes you two and your families."

Sima Yun and Quan Yuanwei were stunned when she said that.

Before they could react, Yao Ran added, "However, we only have permission to live in the base and choose the location for our houses. We still need to build our own house before we can move in."

Shi Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Since we need to build our own house, we should start collecting materials."

Huang Qian nodded in agreement, "We can check the warehouse area. There should be a warehouse used to store construction materials. Iron bars and other steel materials should be fine after being submerged in water and frozen into ice, but materials like cement would be unusable now."

"Then we can try searching unfinished buildings. There should be some materials on the higher floors." Jia Xiang suggested.

Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "It will still be at least half a year before we can go to the base, so I won't collect the materials for now."

In her previous life, the base had managed to build enough living spaces for the survivors who went there. At that time, people didn't need to build their own houses. However, they had to pay extra to rent or buy a house in the base.
