Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Meeting Again

"As I said earlier, it needs to be refilled."

"Since you’re here, you have to follow the local rules."

Ye Mianmian saw her standing up and also followed, "Sister Yuan, I’ll go with you."

"Alright!"

Qin Yue, Xiao Ling, and Fan Qing three of them were organizing their beds and also taking care of two kids.

After Jhiang Yuan and another left, they headed to the end of the corridor.

There truly was a water room, one of the most primitive types.

It was unclear if the countertop was made of stone or cement with a row of faucets above it.

Next to it stood a water heater, positioned separately near the door.

Inside was a toilet that could flush, connected to plumbing.

Although not a dry toilet, the flushing was only periodic.

It wasn’t very clean, but still much better than outside.

"This place seems similar to where I used to stay during school; our dormitory back then was like this."

"Indeed, it must have been requisitioned temporarily."

Since there was nobody else around, making use of it was definitely not a waste.

These existing buildings, only dormitories like these could accommodate the maximum number of people.

Perhaps, these facilities were also originally in place.

The two fetched water and hurried back.

She was also worried about spending too much time outside.

After all, there were other people in the room as well, which couldn’t be ignored.

Sister Zuo had already gone to sleep, so they tried to move as quietly as possible.

Qin Yue signaled to her, and Jhiang Yuan quickly put down the warming kettle and went over.

"What’s the matter, Mom?"

"Nothing, hurry up and tidy up. They said earlier that the lights will go out on schedule, and we can’t delay later."

"Alright!"

Jhiang Yuan then turned and looked at Ye Mianmian, who nodded in agreement.

Below were four beds put together, just the simplest kind of steel-framed bunk beds.

Each bed was approximately ninety centimeters wide, totaling three meters and sixty centimeters all together.

There were two children and five adults; it was a tight fit.

Fan Qing and Ye Mianmian were to sleep on the top, letting the others with children sleep below for convenience.

The night passed without words; everyone just lay with their eyes closed, pretending to sleep!

Jhiang Yuan was also quite emotional, the experiences of the past two days were too overwhelming, and she was struggling to accept them.

Like being forced to act in haste, they found themselves in this current situation.

Being here, whether right or wrong, was unclear, but perhaps it was better with more people around.

Hopefully, it wouldn’t turn out like the rescue center, the extreme weather wasn’t showing any signs of ending.

She didn’t know what tomorrow would be like, better stop thinking and just sleep.

Turning over, she found Qin Yue hadn’t slept either, clearly worried about her dad.

Jhiang Yuan reached out, patted her mom, who looked up, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

The next day, at six o’clock, there was suddenly the sound of a ringing bell.

It felt like a throwback to student days, but it was still dark outside; wasn’t it too early?

"Sister Zuo, are they waking us up?"

She also looked bleary-eyed, obviously not having had enough sleep.

"Yes, hurry up, we only have half an hour.

After that, we still have to clean."

As she spoke, she was getting dressed, and the others also started getting up.

After tidying up themselves, they also had to clean up the beds.

Jhiang Yuan’s luggage was stored by the side, not causing any inconvenience.

The group was quick in their movements; she took several soft cotton towels, using the hot water they had fetched the previous night.

After wetting them, she wiped down everyone’s face.

Going to the water room to wash up would have been too troublesome.

The noise in the corridor was loud, with people moving about, either heading to the toilets or to wash their faces.

It was convenient for them that way.

At six thirty, Instructor Lin appeared on time.

After inspecting the whole room, he seemed satisfied.

"Put all your things under the bed, then come to eat with me!"

"Okay!"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare ask more, now she could only follow orders.

Sister Zuo was also quick, Instructor Lin led the way, and they soon arrived at the cafeteria.

There weren’t many people there, and they were all women.

One steamed bun and a bowl of corn porridge was today’s breakfast.

Everyone queued up here, no one cut in line, nor was there any loud noise.

Jhiang Yuan began to observe these people, they seemed somewhat mechanical, not exactly lively.

Normally, the living conditions here weren’t bad, and the food wasn’t too poor, so they shouldn’t be like this.

Didn’t make sense!

When it was their turn in line, they got their food and started eating.

"Mom, this isn’t tasty."

Yes, it really wasn’t very good.

Her daughter had been eating well, even in the apocalypse, they had still made meals in different styles.

"Xiao Nuan, be good. Right now, this is all we have. Eat a little so you’ll have strength," she said while winking at her daughter.

Although the little girl was reluctant, she still drank her bowl of porridge.

After finishing the meal, they had to wash their own dishes.

By seven o’clock, everyone had cleaned up well, even wiping down the cafeteria tables themselves.

Instructor Lin took them to a place similar to an auditorium.

Song Yi and the others were also inside, apparently just arrived.

Seeing Jhiang Xingzhi was all right, she could relax.

After everyone was seated, someone came up to speak.

"Welcome to Survivor Base, you can call me Teacher Liu.

I believe after yesterday’s orientation, you all are aware of the situation here.

I have reviewed your files. We need a lot of people here to help.

Besides, about the accommodation, you can stay in the communal dormitory, or you can apply for an individual house..."

Jhiang Yuan listened very seriously, this was relevant to their future quality of life.

First was the job issue, she used to work in building and home sales, and there was nothing suitable for her here.

However, Jhiang Xingzhi knew some carpentry and could be sent there to work with the construction team.

"You can choose to live in the communal dormitory, or you can apply for an individual apartment.

However, the individual apartments require payment.

If you stay with everyone else, apart from regular meals, you can also receive five hundred yuan as an allowance."

My goodness, labor was so cheap now.

She knew her father, even as a minor worker, made at least two hundred a day.

Tsk tsk, really incomparable.

"I would like to live alone, may I know how much it costs specifically?"

If they went to the communal dormitory, their family would have to be separated, which wouldn’t do.

"A one-bedroom is five hundred.

A one-bedroom plus living room is one thousand.

A two-bedroom and living room is one thousand five hundred."

Jhiang Yuan was amazed, it was so cheap, no wonder the compensation was so low.

With this calculation, a person’s salary was just enough to rent a one-bedroom house.

Jhiang Xingzhi looked over, Jhiang Yuan silently raised two fingers.

Then, she pretended to fix her hair.

"I’ll take a two-bedroom then!"

The person gave her a questioning look, as people with savings now were few and far between.

"Think it over, we only accept cash here."
