Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Area no. 3
Yu Baoyin and Nanzhi found empty seats by the registrar’s waiting area to eat the warm congee.

The congee was not watery.

It had a nice consistency and had seasonings.

“Sister Lu, I wonder if I can call you Sister Nan too?” Hei Qian scratched his head shyly.

He was very shy in front of girls. Plus, most of the time, the people around him were men.

“It’s just a name. You can call me whatever you like,” Nanzhi said before blowing the steam off the congee. “Hold on, how old are you?”

She doesn’t know much about their personal information.

Ecstatic, Hei Qian patted his chest. “I’m 23 and Hei Qian is 21, Sister Lu.”

Yu Baoyin pondered analyzing their ages before exclaiming in an excited tone, “Oh, then we’re the same age. This makes Bingwen the youngest in the group since Feng Ran is 24!”

She then turned to Bingwen, “You can call me Big Sister Bao!”

Being a big sister feels good! Yu Baoyin raised her nose.

“Come on, call me Big Sister Bao! ” Yu Baoyin’s face inched closer, making Bingwen quite awkward.

“Y…Yes.” After squeezing a one-word response in a tiny voice, Bingwen lowered his head and drank soup.

“Eh, am I that scary?” Yu Baoyin became conscious of her looks.

Hei Qian laughed, explaining that Bingwen is always like that, even to Brother Lin.

It’s because of a childhood trauma, but compared to the past, he was much better now.

However, just like him, without the sociable Feng Ran, he was also very shy around girls.

When his name was mentioned, Nanzhi caught Bingwen’s ears moving and his eyes stealing glances at them.

Whenever she turned her head in his direction, he would lower his head or turn away, a little shy.

His personality reminded her of a mimosa plant.

As Bingwen was brooding over his lack of social skills, two packets of black pepper and honey-roasted beef-flavored jerky popped on the corner of his eyes.

“It would be good to eat with the congee.” Nanzhi urged him to take it with her eyes.

The bowl of congee is definitely not enough for Bingwen, who was a grown man.

He slowly accepted it, swallowing the lump in his throat.

He carefully tore the packets and bit into the honey-roasted jerky first.

His eyes sparkled.

It tastes just as good as Big Sister Nan’s cooking!

Hei Qian and Yu Baoyin also had their shares, and the meals became more fulfilling.

The beef jerky was not store-bought.

Nanzhi had made them using the recipes she found online and marinated them using the ingredients from the Virtual Farm.

Their portions were thicker and bigger too.

To make it less suspicious, she repackaged them using the store-bought packaging.

Nanzhi contemplated.

If she can rent a shop in the trade market, then maybe she can collect jades faster.

Surely there might be people who still had jades with them.

Nanzhi was hoping so.

Tomorrow, she’ll visit the markets to see their situations.

Wang Chul returned just after they finished their dinner.

Since it was getting late and he still had jobs to do, he explained things on the way.

Wang Chul hailed a jeep.

The jeep drove to the road leading to the right side of the base.

Nanzhi could see no one wearing civilian attire, but most of the people here are soldiers wearing camouflage winter down jackets.

Did Brother Wang Chul bring them into the right place?

It was not until they reached a place called Area no. 3.

The jeep passed one more checkpoint before Wang Chul opened the jeep’s door.

Outside was a high concrete wall, and inside were three small buildings.

They were led to another lobby, smaller compared to the one in the Mission Hall.

Wang Chul talked to the soldiers at the reception desk before they opened the metallic door behind them.

It was actually an elevator.

The elevator started moving down.

Nanzhi and Yu Baoyin stared at the glowing buttons on the side of the wall.

There were 30 of them.

Five minutes passed, and the door of the elevator opened at the number 15.

A three-meter-wide hallway, doors with plaques engraved with numbers shining in metallic hues, appeared in their sights.

Wang Chul walked out and stopped by the number 1502.

“Miss Lu, I found a good underground house for you! It has enough space for four people, a functional kitchen, and a clean bathroom. The training grounds and military market are just a five-minute walk from here, and it’s just 100 points!”

The pointless and simple-minded Yu Baoyin spat her water. “100 points! Big Brother Wang Chul, I haven’t got a job yet! So I wouldn’t be able afford this house!”

Wang Chul guffawed, saying that Lin Weihao had taken care of the expenses.

Oh right! She just recalled that Sister Nan’s boyfriend was one of the managers of this place!

How convenient!

Hei Qian said, “That’s great! It’s just a ten-minute walk from our dormitories! ”

Area no. 3?

If Nanzhi was not mistaken, according to what she heard before, this area is reserved for the high-ranking military officers, city officials, and their direct relatives.

It’s built underground at the height where the ground stays warm.

It was not included in the renting options because you need certain status to apply for it.

Simply put, you need to be at the level of Professor Zhang Heng and Professor Xuan Yi to qualify.

Perhaps Lin Weihao had anticipated her train of thoughts and thoroughly instructed Wang Chul on what he should do.

Way even before Nanzhi could say something, Wang Chul quickly placed the key card on her palm.

“Miss Lu, I remember I have something urgent to do! See you tomorrow!”

He swiftly ran away.

Hei Qian also took Bingwen away after saying a few words.

Nanzhi could not do anything but inspect the house.

Suddenly, just as Nanzhi was about to open the door with the key card, she felt a hand grabbed the hem of her down jacket.

She looked down and saw it was a little hand.

“Big Sister, is that you?”
