Chapter 170 Residential Area
After crossing several streets, the group followed the instructions on the map and arrived at the residential area office.
There are obviously more people here, and the chaotic noise can be heard from afar.
After parking the car, the group walked towards the service hall.
When they entered the hall, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, so many people!" Shi Xinxin exclaimed.
Li Luo calmly walked to a machine and queued up to get a number.
Because it was their first time staying in the shelter, there was no one at the window handling this service.
So, after taking the number, they can go directly to that window to handle it.
Seeing this, the other survivors queuing nearby began to discuss in low voices.
"Wow, they are new here!"
"What's new? Aren't there always new arrivals?"
"But it has been raining heavily these days. I heard from the new neighbors the day before yesterday that the water level outside has risen again! They almost died on the road."
"so what?"
"So it's very dangerous outside. How did these guys get here?"
"Why do you care how they got here?"
"That's right, it has nothing to do with us!"
"I'm curious, aren't you curious?"
"Not curious!"
"+1"
"What's there to be curious about? He is rich and capable."
"How did you tell?"
"I just saw their cars. They cost at least several hundred thousand yuan. And I saw that they were modified. They looked like tanks."
"Does this have anything to do with how they got here? Could it be that the car is amphibious?"
"You're stupid, this shows that he's rich! Maybe he has his own boat and sailed here."
"That's right. Didn't that guy's family come here in an oil tanker?"
"Ah? Whose family? When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"
"It's strange that you know this. This matter is confidential. It was told to me by my distant relative who works in the office."
"Are you bragging?"
"You're crazy, why would I brag about this? It's not my cruise ship, why would I brag about it for someone else?"
"Okay, let's stop talking about these things and think about what to do about the water leak!"
"Oh, I get angry when you mention this. What do the staff of this shelter do for a living? The dormitory has been leaking for several days, but no one is doing anything about it."
"That's right. You can't just ignore it because it's free! I've been sleeping in a wet bed for several days."
"They are just using our tax money and not doing anything about it. It feels like this is not their place to live. If they lived in a dormitory, they would have fixed it long ago."
"Don't be so ungrateful. If you think the environment is bad, just spend money to move to another place. There are so many empty houses."
"That's easy to say. Do you have money? Please change it for us."
"Why? What the hell are you thinking?"
"What the hell are you talking about? From the tone of your voice, I thought you were going to help us move houses."
"Incomprehensible!"
"You idiot, you are standing there talking without any pain in your back!"
"........."
In this way, the topic of the group shifted from Li Luo and his group to themselves.
It gradually caused quite a commotion, and order was restored at the scene only after the office staff put a stop to it.
There is no way around it. Where there are many people, there are many conflicts.
Similar incidents happen every day in every corner of the shelter.
The riots here did not affect Li Luo and others.
They are listening to the office staff introduce a series of housing-related issues.
The residential area of the shelter is divided into three areas: A, B, and C.
Among them, the largest area is Area A located in the northwest.
The houses in Area A are cubicles made up of container houses.
These are shelters, provided free of charge to survivors.
Although the interior is a bit simple, it has all the basic living facilities and you can move in with just your luggage.
There is a public washing area, all beds are bunk beds, and daily necessities and shelter will be provided free of charge.
Moreover, everyone has their own locker to store personal belongings.
Each cabin is also equipped with a dormitory manager who is responsible for handling various issues of the survivors.
Area B is the second largest area, located directly north of the shelter. The houses here are all 6-story villas.
If you want to move in, you need to buy it or rent it.
The small villas in Area B are divided into three phases, so the prices are different.
All the units in the first phase are one-bedroom units, with the purchase cost being 500 million yuan per unit and the rental cost being 2 yuan per month.
The second phase of apartments are all two-bedroom units, with a purchase cost of 1000 million yuan per unit and a rental cost of 4 yuan per month.
The apartments in Phase 1500 are all three-bedroom, with a purchase cost of 6 million yuan per unit and a rental cost of yuan per month.
Area C is the villa area, and it is also the area with the smallest area of all areas.
There are only 50 villas in total, and the prices are quite expensive.
The purchase cost is 1 million yuan per unit and the rental cost is 40 yuan per month.
In fact, this price would be outrageously expensive in a prosperous era.
But in the end times, it is quite a good deal!
Because money will only become less and less valuable, and in the later stage it will be just waste paper, and no one will want it even if you give it away for free.
But at this stage, there are not many people who can come up with so much money.
Even Li Luo didn't have that much.
Because her original plan was to come to the shelter when the extreme cold came.
At that time, money was no longer valuable, so she never thought about "hoarding money" at all.
What she didn't expect was that she could actually use the money from the shelter to buy a house.
After all, her family’s house in her previous life was purchased with material goods.
Fortunately, when Li Luo collected supplies, he still took out several million and put them in the space.
Although I can't afford to buy a house, I can afford to rent one.
Anyway, she didn't plan to live here for a long time, and her money was enough to rent a villa for a few months.
At worst, she still has food.
Although the staff member did not say that food could be used to buy a house, Li Luo was sure of it.
Compared to money, food is more important to the shelter!
After learning all about the residential area, Li Luo asked the staff at the window:
"Hello, I want to know what the environment of the villa is like. Can you take me to have a look?"
The staff member who received Li Luo and his group was a woman around 30 years old.
She originally didn't want to waste her time talking to these "poor guys", but her leader was right beside her, so she could only introduce them patiently.
However, in my heart, I had already cursed these people.
They all look poor, yet they keep asking questions, as if they can afford it.
Now that the leader had left, she said with an impatient expression after hearing Li Luo's question:
“Pay first!”
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, "What money?"
The woman looked at him like a fool and asked, "Don't you want to see a house?"
This was the first time Li Luo encountered such a thing. "I have to pay to view a house?"
The woman rolled her eyes. “Only residents of Area C are allowed in.”
Li Luo was so angry that he laughed, "If I don't go and take a look, how can I know whether I want to live there?"
The woman squinted her eyes at Li Luo and said with a hint of sarcasm: "That's your problem."
She had seen many people like this, and they just wanted to see what the villa looked like.
After watching it, they will find a bunch of excuses, saying this is not good, that is not good, and they will not buy it. They are just playing for fun.
