Rebirth: I Will Win Easily in the Apocalypse-Chapter 79 - 67 The Villa

Minister Li hurriedly changed the subject, which alleviated the stiffness of the atmosphere.

“Thank you, that would be great,” Chu Guodong nodded slightly, agreeing with Minister Li’s suggestion.

Minister Li led the group out of the registration office, explaining some of the basic conditions of the base as they walked.

“Our base has several types of housing available.

The simplest is the free large bunkhouse with fifty beds per room; you’ll need to watch over your valuables or you can rent a locker for a small fee.”

“Next are the multi-person dormitories, with choices ranging from 2 to 10 occupants per room, where you can pick according to your needs.

Then there are the single apartments, small two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats, which tend to offer a more normal living environment.”

“The best option is that cluster of villas there.

These require more resources, and a day’s worth of materials could rent you a multi-person dormitory for nearly half a month.”

“There’s actually a rather large house left in the villa area.

Mr.

Chu and your young comrades can temporarily stay there; it can accommodate all of us,” said Minister Li, pointing towards the southwest direction of the registration office when mentioning the villa area.

Looking in the direction he pointed, there was a significant distance from the registration office; it seemed to be the most prosperous area in the entire base, surprisingly well-lit despite the lack of electricity.

“Oh, right, you don’t need to park your vehicles in the common parking area, Mr.

Chu.

Each villa has a courtyard for vehicle parking.”

“I can lead Mr.

Chu directly there.”

“Shall I guide the way in my vehicle?”

As he spoke, Minister Li paused in the courtyard, waiting for Chu Guodong’s response.

“Thank you for the trouble.”

Minister Li got into his car and instructed the driver to head for villa area A-9.

Gu Yanzhi and the others also got into their respective vehicles, following behind Minister Li’s car.

“Mr.

Chu, here we are.”

Minister Li parked his car in front of A-9, got out to inform Chu Guodong and his team, and then signaled his driver to clear the entrance so that Chu Guodong’s vehicles could enter.

The villa was indeed spacious.

Three off-road vehicles were parked in the courtyard without feeling cramped; they were lined up side by side against the fence, occupying less than half the yard.

The villa area truly was bustling.

Along the way, Gu Yanzhi noticed that other areas had just a few torches for lighting, but the villa area had street lamps every few hundred meters.

The houses were all brightly lit, and this section appeared no different than before the apocalypse.

Gu Yanzhi looked up at the building before them; a three-story structure with a design reminiscent of the Republican era, full of character.

As everyone got out of their cars, Minister Li led them towards the house.

“While walking, he continued, “These houses were originally Lian City’s upscale residential area, set on higher ground which wasn’t reached by the floods, thus they are well-preserved.

When establishing the base, we chose this location due to its higher elevation and the relatively good condition of the surrounding buildings, making restoration easier.

Many of those living nearby were originally residents here.

Our base initially had a majority of locals from Lian City, but recently many people from other areas have arrived.

The base has become more burdened, so unfortunately, we’ve had to raise the entry threshold.”

At this point, Minister Li gave a wry smile.

The population of the base was increasing, and soon it would be challenging to accommodate so many people.

“This house is the largest in the area and is considered the ‘crown jewel’ of the villa district.

The owner, I heard, hasn’t returned from abroad in several years, so it has been vacant.

We clean it regularly, and it’s quite tidy.

I hope Mr.

Chu won’t disdain it.”

Upon entering the house, Minister Li switched on the lights—right at the entrance was the living room.

“Why would we?

We’re the ones imposing, but this house is truly nice,” Chu Guodong said politely.

His praise for the house was heartfelt.

The entire living room was decorated beautifully.

Chu Guodong’s family was involved in politics, and even though they held certain power in the Capital, they could not afford such a luxurious house.

Members of Chu Guodong’s team, 532, restrained themselves from revealing too much awe in front of outsiders.

“For dining, we have a mess hall, and the villa area also allows for cooking.

Would Mr.

Chu and your young comrades prefer to cook for yourselves or dine at the mess hall?”

“We’ll go with the mess hall,” staying for just one night did not necessitate cooking for themselves, Chu Guodong decided definitively.

“Alright, I will have someone bring over your meal tickets later.

Tomorrow, everyone can use the meal tickets to dine at the mess hall, which is on the road we took here, near the entrance of the villa area,” declared Minister Li, making preparations to leave.

Before departing, he glanced at Gu Yanzhi and remembered to add, “Oh, and what about this lady’s leg?

Do you need me to call a doctor?”

“There’s no need, it’s just a minor injury that has already been treated,” Song Zhao replied to Minister Li with a light nod.

“Minister Li, do you have a refueling station in the base?

Our vehicles might need some replenishment,” Chu Guodong asked.

“Yes, we do.

How much do you need?

I can send someone with it shortly.”

“We don’t have refueling equipment here, so we’ll have to bring the gasoline over in barrels, and you can fill up yourselves,” Minister Li explained.

“Thank you very much.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.

If you have any other issues, you can find Xiao Liu at the registration office, and he can call me.”

“Comrades, have a good rest and sweet dreams,” Minister Li said, seeing that there seemed to be no further questions and took the opportunity to bid farewell.

Once Minister Li had left, the members of 532 immediately slumped onto the sofas without any pretense, exclaiming, “Rich people’s stuff really is different; even the sofas are so comfortable, more so than my own bed.”

Seeing his team’s behavior, Chu Guodong was almost too embarrassed to look, but fortunately, Song Zhao and Gu Yanzhi weren’t considered outsiders anymore.

If others saw this, it would be hard to believe that this disheveled, ungraceful crew was actually part of a Special Forces squad.

“Captain, come on, this sofa is super comfortable,” Lin Cheng, seeing the disapproving look on Chu Guodong’s face, instinctively ignored his expression, patted the space next to him, and invited him over.

Chu Guodong accepted the invitation without hesitation and sat down.

Indeed, the possessions of the rich were different; the comfort was unquestionable, he reflected inwardly.
