SRTT Chapter 93.3

Now that they weren’t going in, it was fun to chat together.

Around nine o’clock, Wen Mei borrowed a deck of cards from someone else. They began to take turns at the table.

At 12 o’clock, fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Ruan Ning was aware of this moment, but the others were unaware. The entire square erupted in excitement, dropping their cards and standing up to look up at the sky.

The three children were the happiest, screaming and wailing.

Wang Lingxia burst into tears of joy: “I never thought I could see fireworks in my lifetime. It would be great if the child’s father were still alive.”

Ruan Ning held her arm.

The fireworks lasted only about seven or eight minutes and were not as grand as before the apocalypse.

But this display left an unforgettable impression on all those who survived the disaster.

After New Year’s Eve, the spring of 2027 arrived quickly.

According to the novel, a nuclear war was about to start.

No one knew how the first dirty bomb exploded, but it subsequently spread across the ocean, fueling mutual suspicion and distrust among the various factions, which quickly devolved into retaliatory destruction.

You like to throw dirty bombs, right? Just go for the big one.

Since we’re all going to be destroyed anyway, we might as well all be destroyed together.

Ruan Ning didn’t know what the arrangements were, but the base was harmonious. Everyone was busy with construction, and encouraging slogans could be seen everywhere.

Construction of the planned commercial street had begun.

The first batch of resettlement housing was sold to the public, and the houses were mainly 50 square meters. Because some were reserved for people with outstanding contributions, only 157 units were sold to the public this time.

For the New Hope base, with a population of over 300,000, this was a drop in the bucket.

Ruan Ning chose not to join in the fun.

She had a vague feeling that New Hope was quite confident about the current situation, and it was estimated that the higher-ups had some control.

Pre-sales for the commercial street began soon afterward.

She had to say that this command center was quite interesting. The houses were not put on sale until they were completed, while they started selling the commercial street when there was nothing yet. It was obvious that they were trying to make money by taking advantage of the situation.

This commercial street was quite large, with over a thousand shops of all sizes.

This number was far beyond Wu Dawei’s expectations. He initially thought that it would be at most a hundred or so. After hearing about such a large scale, he even complained to Ruan Ning.

“Can they sell all these? I don’t think they will become unsold by then.”

“Do you think anyone will buy it?”

Ruan Ning: “I think there will be someone.”

Commercial streets aren’t like residential real estate. The prices are high, so there aren’t many people looking at it.

Ruan Ning went to the sales office on the first day and found that it was full of recruiting staff, with no familiar faces.

The next day, she went to buy an apartment using Cheng Jili’s appearance.

On the third day, she bought another set using Wen Mei’s appearance.

On the fourth day, Ruan Cifeng went there.

On the fifth day, Ruan Ning bought another set using Wang Lingxia’s appearance.

Before the system was stripped away, Ruan Ning still had several thousand contribution points left. At that time, she negotiated with the system and exchanged them all for easy containers, so she still had a lot of these things in her space.

Fortunately, personnel management at the base was still rather chaotic, with no strict ID requirements. Ruan Ning spent a month purchasing continuously, clearing out a significant amount of supplies from the space.

Thirty housing purchase certificates were obtained.

This wasn’t a particularly clever tactic, but fortunately, communication was currently difficult, and the staff didn’t need to verify each individual’s information.

After that, Ruan Ning planned to go to the sea.

Most of the later events in the novel took place at sea. Ruan Ning felt uneasy if she didn’t visit, fearing a nuclear bomb might suddenly fall on her head.

Unexpectedly, the expedition team moved faster than her.
