Chapter 160: 160. Houses for Rent (2)

"Let’s make do with sleeping bags first," Anna said helplessly. "I still brought some of them and they’re in our car."

"Great! Sister Anna is the best!" Dylan was immediately happy.

Even if the sleeping bag was not as good as the mattress, it was better than nothing. He would just figure out how to find mattresses later.

Mark rubbed his nose.

Truthfully, he also only remembered about the mattresses just now. Because they were in a hurry when they rushed to the car, this face was also forgotten by Mark and Lucy.

"Well... I only have blanket," Lucy said in a low voice.

"It’s better than nothing." Mark sighed.

"By the way, is the houses only for rent and not buying?" Anna asked something because she saw the information and it only showed the word rent and not buy.

"Well, for the time being, it’s not possible to buy the houses," Mark replied. "There are too many people and the price might still soar in the future. In order to prevent misuse of the houses, they can only be rented for a period of time."

Anna heard the explanation and nodded in understanding.

Well, that was not that hard to understand.

"Ok, shall we settle the choices first? These houses are all first come first serve."

"I’ll pick the one in the sixth floor and rent for a month," Anna said.

"I’ll rent the one in front of Sister Anna."

Lucy laughed. "In that case, I’ll rent the one in the fifth floor with Mark. We’ll rent it for two weeks."

"Two weeks?"

"The recruitment will be done in two weeks. Both Lucy and me are planning to go there and participate. So we won’t be able to stay for long. 2 weeks are the conservative."

"Ok."

After they had come to agreement, they went to register to the office, renting the apartment and paid for it. Aside from the apartment itself, they also paid for the water and electricity for their apartment.

There would be calculation of how much they used their electricity and water. If it was too much, they would be charged more.

"There’s water here... is it for bath or for drinking?" Anna looked at the limit of 2 liters per day and felt that it was totally not enough for bath. Thankfully, the charge was only 1 contribution point per day, which was not very difficult.

"Only for drinking." Mark looked at Anna helplessly. His look seemed to be saying: is there even any people who could still take a bath during this period of time. "If you want bath water, you will be charged with 20 contribution points per day."

Anna: "..."

That’s even more expensive than the house itself!

"And even then, they will not let you have too much water. These water came from the water source in the mountain right behind the hill. There are houses still built at the north and it was expanding not far from the river. If you truly want to take a bath, you can go to the river, but you need to go there from the west first gate after the dam. The water in the dam is for our use and heavily protected by the soldiers."

Anna nodded.

No wonder that they could still use water here. So there was water source and small river in this base. But if they wanted to take a bath, it was a bit too much of luxury. The river was not very big and many people were already waiting there with their buckets to get water.

Lucy also told Anna that the amount of water released from the dam was not much and it was only enough to make sure that the river didn’t completely dry up.

As for why the dam was still opened, she herself was not sure.

But Anna thought that it might be for the sake of electricity. After all, electricity was commonly generated through the conversion of kinetic energy (movement) to electricity. And one of the few areas they usually used was the dam.

She didn’t explain it to Lucy, though.

With Lucy IQ, it was estimated that this girl will only stare at her in confusion.

"Better than nothing, I guess," Anna said.

These people who wanted to get water without paying for contribution points had to wait at the dam. The door will only be opened in the morning and evening for a certain number of hours.

Anna didn’t pay much attention to it, though.

She has her own water inside her space and didn’t want to make herself suffer and stood on that dam in this hot weather.

"Shall we go to unload our belongings now?" Lucy asked.

This hall was quite comfortable because there were several air conditioners that were turned on at the same time.

This allowed this hall to be quite cool and many people were staying here to cool themselves. After all, if they couldn’t pay for the electricity, it was hard to say that they could use the air conditioner all the time.

And if they overuse it, they had to pay more for the electricity.

Each and every single one of these contribution point was very valuable. They were unwilling to waste these contribution points for nothing.

"I want to wait for my uncle," Dylan replied.

"Ah right, my cousin is also coming here." Lucy patted her forehead. She quickly took out her phone and saw that her cousin said that he was almost there. "Anna, did you bring it here or it’s in the car?"

"It’s here." Anna pointed at her bag.

To be honest, it was in her space, but she could put it inside her bag anytime, so she was ready for it.

"Ok, good."

The four of them were talking for a while before a man rushed into the hall. The man had similar feature with Dylan and some similarities with Old Master Daniels. When they saw this man, they quickly stood up.

"Second Uncle," Dylan quickly greeted.
