SRTT Chapter 75.2

The so-called Northern Hope Base is actually the ‘earthworm’ city that Yan Ruoxue and others found during the extreme cold.

Later, because of a lot of exchanges, it is now considered a mutual protection between the north and the south, with frequent exchanges.

Just as a cunning rabbit has three burrows, the government before a disaster will not put all its hopes in one place.

Ruan Cifeng became curious: “Is the situation at the northern base not good? Why did you come here?”

The man said, “I’m originally from here. I wanted to see if I could find my relatives.”

“How’s the situation over there?”

“What else can we do? We can only survive. It’s too hard now.” The man sighed.

“I didn’t expect it to be even harder here.”

Ruan Cifeng comforted: “There is always hope that you can find your relatives. Just hold on.”

The man smiled bitterly: “I see you are a family of three. It’s really rare to see a family of three in a neat and tidy manner now.”

Then, he got to the point: “And I see you seem to know some military personnel. The female officer just now had the rank insignia of the New Hope Base on her body.”

Ruan Cifeng smiled and said, “We are just neighbors. We supported each other for a while after the superflare.”

The man looked at Ruan Cifeng with a look that said ‘You are so lucky’, and then the Tai Chi performance between adults began.

Through this conversation, Ruan Cifeng learned a lot about the daily life of the New Hope Base, and he also half-truthfully revealed some information about his family.

From the perspective of this area, they had a tent, knew the officers, and were a family of three, so they were considered wealthy.

It was always a good idea to have a good relationship with such a family.

In the evening, Wang Lingxia and others came over to reminisce about the past, which made everyone in District 55 more aware that the new neighbors had rich connections and were old people in Jinbei City, or in other words, the core area of ​​New Hope Base.

The next day, Ruan Ning and Zhou Sulan got up early and queued up to get water.

The drought lasted too long before. Now groundwater resources are still not abundant, and it is not easy to get water from ordinary wells.

The New Hope Base adopts the model of building deep wells in different areas, but District 55 was just established not long ago, so the wells have not been dug yet.

People in this area can only temporarily go to District 54 or District 53.

Ruan Ning and Zhou Sulan followed the crowd and came to District 53.

This side was obviously much more lively, with crowds of people and all kinds of noise early in the morning, and the line of people fetching water was like a long dragon.

Ruan Ning and Zhou Sulan each carried a broken plastic bucket.

This was lent to them by the person who chatted with Ruan Cifeng yesterday. He said that since they had no belongings at the moment, he generously gave them his extra bucket.

Ruan Cifeng promised to return it as soon as possible.

After waiting in line for nearly an hour, it was finally Ruan Ning’s turn. She put her bucket on the ground, and then a staff member poured water drawn from the deep well into her bucket.

Ruan Ning took a look and found that the water was a bit muddy. As for whether the volcanic ash and acid rain had any impact, only God knew.

Ruan Ning quickly left the team with the bucket and returned to District 55 with Zhou Sulan.

After arriving at the tent, she thought about it and decided to put the water in the bucket into her space and use the water in her own space to wash and drink.

Next, Ruan Ning’s family went to the trading area under the pretext of buying some supplies.

The New Hope Base is so large. According to the introduction of the person yesterday, there are three main trading areas.

The first one is opened by the official, mainly for the exchange of contribution points for official materials, or for the exchange of materials for contribution points.

Contribution points are actually the currency issued by the New Hope Base. They are just a piece of paper with a stamp on it, without too many fancy anti-counterfeiting measures.

It’s not easy to fake it.

The remaining two trading areas are markets, located at District 26 and District 14 respectively.

District 14 is the old market, while District 26 is a newly built one. There is no essential difference between the two markets, but because District 14 was established earlier, the merchants have a stronger foundation and occasionally have good things.
