Chapter 163: 163. New Home

The idea didn’t seem to be that bad.

Anna thought about it for a moment before putting the water from the bathtub into a large plastic bags. She had a lot of pots inside her space, but there was no soil inside. After all, the mall didn’t exactly sell soils.

Though, there were a lot of seeds.

They were all labeled, so Anna could still know what seeds they were. After all, without being labeled, Anna would never know what plants it would grow to.

’I guess I can ask for soil or can I take it from outside the base?’

This base was located on a hill and there were still many untouched areas. The soil might not be the best to plant, but it was better than nothing. And Anna was sure that she was not the only one who thought about it.

Foods are expensive.

With the disaster strike, the price of food was estimated to be rising steadily. People needed food to survive, so some people might have the thoughts of planting on their own.

Anna went back to the living room and took the boxes that contained food and put them in the kitchen. She also put some of them in her refrigerator and after thinking for a while, she put some of her supplies from her space to the refrigerator.

The Cool Chat Group

Anna: Mark, is there any supermarket or something like that here?

Mark: Of course there is!

Mark: There are two supermarkets, one located in West District and the other one located in the North district. The one in the West District is more complete and the one at the North district is mostly for food and other supplies. There’s restriction to enter the mall because only 5 people could enter at a time. You also need to swipe the city base’s card to enter.

Dylan: So many restrictions?

Mark: That’s to prevent the survivor from stealing from the supermarket. As you know, supplies are very scarce right now, so there’s a lot of restriction to be implemented. There are also soldiers guarding the supermarket with gun, so no one dare to make a move.

Lucy: Gun? I think I miss this information.

Anna: Speaking of gun, why are we not being checked for weapon possession?

Mark: That’s because you’re allowed to own weapon in the base. After all, how you survive outside if you didn’t have weapon? They understood it and didn’t really check for weapon as long as you don’t use it against the others. Besides, most weapons are only common guns and some cold weapon. The more powerful weapons such as grenades and others were not so easy to obtain.

Lucy: Not even checking just in case?

Mark: Don’t worry, if you do have weapon registered in your name, when you show your ID card, they would already know it. If you are suspected to have dangerous weapon, you will be brought to a separate place to be checked. After all, your ID card also contain your record files and many others.

...

Anna looked at the answers Mark said and felt that it was reasonable.

For the past few decades, the advancement of technology had allowed people to use technology in almost all aspects of their lives. This naturally also included transaction because many people usually used their phones to pay for the items they bought.

There’s even the chip that can be planted into one’s body where it can be used to pay for many things.

It was very convenient now.

And at the same time, the record could also be found online. At the very least, government would be able to see it if they wanted to check.

Though, normally no one would be checking people’s online purchase.

But this made one’s purchase much more trackable.

And weapon was one of the few things that the government would definitely pay more attention to. If there were any traces of them buying weapon in the past, they would be put into the list of people being watched by the government.

Anna thought about it for a moment and then turned her attention back to the chat group.

The Cool Chat Group

Anna: How about the prices?

Mark: The items in the supermarket can only be bought with contribution points. They’re a bit more expensive, but you can find almost everything you need there. After all, you can exchange for things for contribution points.

Mark: Speaking about items exchange, you can also take the mission to scavenge for items. This mission has been released since two days ago for the people to start to scavenge things that were scattered on the street and also some useful items around the area.

Dylan: Do you mean stealing items from empty houses?

Mark: ...That’s not the original intention, but at this time, who could care about these? The items inside these houses can’t even be used anymore because of flood.

Lucy: Right, I don’t even want to go back to my house. All my items would have been flooded and destroyed.

Mark: Most paper based items will definitely not survive. The scavenge teams are told to gather things that can still be reused. As for the things that can’t be used, they would be put in the trash areas and will be exchanged based on the types and weight. You can also get contribution points there.

Lucy: Wait, even trashes can be exchanged?

Mark: Yes.

Anna: It shouldn’t be expensive.

Mark: for furniture, it’s based on the weight. I forgot the specific but it should be several kilograms for a contribution points. There’s also plastics and many others that the survivor can gather and exchange. In a way, this can provide them a way to survive while the base can gather supplies that could be recyclable and reused in the future.

Dylan: Recycling is not that easy. They have the chemical substance and so on ready?

Mark: Don’t worry, the government had long secured a lot of important materials.

Lucy: I see.

Anna: I don’t think I need to know so much [dog laughing.jpg]

Lucy: Same [dog laughing.jpg]
