283 Don’t Cause Trouble Here

After pa.s.sing through two city gates, they finally entered the base. Even though it was daytime, the base was still brightly lit. In the thick fog, the outline of houses could be vaguely seen with the help of the light. Most of the houses here were antique, and with the lights and the thick fog, it actually gave people a dreamy feeling.

There were many people standing inside and outside the houses, and at this moment, they were all looking at the convoy with probing eyes. This was Du Yue’s first time being surrounded by so many people, and it made her feel a little awkward. However, they could not be separated from the main group now. They had just arrived and did not know anything, so it was better to follow the main group.

After following the convoy around, they finally stopped after 20 minutes. They arrived at a large courtyard. Going out of the gate, there were four-story ancient buildings on the other three sides of the courtyard. The buildings were all built with blue bricks and gray tiles, but they should not be ancient buildings. These must be imitations. Otherwise, there would not be any damage after experiencing a major earthquake. The courtyard, which was originally empty, was filled with various vehicles after the convoy drove in.

Du Yue took a careful look around and realized that there were still some cars missing. The leading cars in front of the convoy were not present. As Du Yue pondered this, she saw Guan Sheng jump down from a pickup truck with his men. With a loudspeaker in hand, Guan Sheng said, “Everyone, stay here temporarily today. You’re free to choose who you want to stay with, but I hope that no one will fight over a room. This place is not like our own base, so don’t make a fool of yourselves. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for someone to take you to get your new ident.i.ty information and help you find jobs. You can live in this courtyard for free for a year. If you want to continue living here, you’ll have to pay rent. If you want to move out, you can also move out directly after you’ve applied for a new ident.i.ty card.”

After Guan Sheng finished speaking, the originally quiet crowd instantly exploded. “Captain Guan, what do you mean? Is the base not going to care about us anymore?”

“We’re new here and don’t have any food. Aren’t you forcing us to our deaths like this?”

“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have moved here with you. Even if I died in my own home, it’s better than starving to death in this unfamiliar place!”

“Where’s the commander? He hasn’t appeared at all!”

“This is differential treatment! Are the lives of people like us who have no power or influence not worth anything? ”

The courtyard was filled with everyone’s shouts, and everyone fell into chaos. Guan Sheng stood outside the crowd and watched them make a scene expressionlessly. When they were done and silent, he put the loudspeaker to his mouth again. “Calm down, all of you. If the base doesn’t want to care about you, why did we bring so many people to Jingluo from so far away? And why did we fight for a place for you to stay, and why are we letting you stay for a year free of charge? The base has done so much for you. Although we don’t ask for anything in return, we won’t allow anyone to slander or insult us. If anyone isn’t satisfied with this and wants to cause trouble, I’ll tell you clearly today. If you don’t want to stay here, you can leave. The base won’t stop you!”

After experiencing the menacing tsunami, they managed to survive. After another half a month of b.u.mpy travel, they finally arrived here. How could they be willing to leave? Seeing that they had all calmed down, Guan Sheng said, “Before everyone’s work is arranged, the base will still distribute food to you on time. It’s been a long journey, so you guys should go to bed early. We can talk about other things later.” After Guan Sheng finished speaking, he brought his men into the car and left the courtyard.

As they watched Guan Sheng leave, everyone looked at each other in confusion. However, someone quickly regained their senses and ran toward the houses next to them. Since they were going to live here for a year, he had to choose a room he liked before anyone else. The crowd that had been gathered together just now scattered in a minute.

After these people ran away, Du Yue saw Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya get out of the car and walk toward them. He Xing alighted from the car with Du Yue.

“What do you plan to do after this?” He Xing asked as they approached.

Yu Xinya looked at the surrounding houses and sighed helplessly, “We were just keeping them company on the road. We ate and drank on our own. I guess we don’t have a share of the houses here now.”
