Chapter 190 -190 Living in a Villa Together
Feng Zhekai and the others didn’t know exactly how much three hundred points were, so they couldn’t refuse the offer. They had an understanding amongst themselves, being one family—they couldn’t let Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng come out at a loss.
Lu Ruisheng said, “We have enough money to spend right now, so let’s not sell the grain we’ve stored earlier. We’ve hidden it in a cellar as a safety net for when we’re out and about.”
Feng Zhekai agreed with their decision, “Good, I also think it’s best to have more backup options.”
After that, Feng Zhekai asked, “Can I find a job at the base?”
Gu Pan nodded, “Of course, you’re a doctor, that’s a high-tech job at the base.”
Cheng Yang scratched his head, “Can I find a job with my major?”
Gu Pan said, “Of course, there are many places in the base that use computers. I heard they’re planning to connect a local area network soon, you’ll be able to find a job too.”
Lu Xuerong felt awkward, “Then what can I do?”
Gu Pan said, “Don’t worry, take your time to find something suitable. If not, there are other ways to make money, no need to worry.”
Cheng Yang asked Gu Pan, “Sis, what jobs do you and brother-in-law have?”
Gu Pan smiled and said, “We don’t have any particular skills and can’t dare to do renovations at the base, right? So we’ve chosen a freelance profession which is known at the base as ‘Scavenger’, which allows us to go out and search for supplies. It’s high-income with high risk, but it suits us.”
Cheng Yang got excited when he heard this, “I also want to do freelance work like you.”
Lu Ruisheng said, “We came to the base for stability. If you have skills, focus on your profession. You can have side jobs if you have spare time, but the main profession shouldn’t be abandoned. Even we will return to our professions once the base is stable. We can’t discard our skills; right now, we just don’t have a choice.”
Alright, he was lying. But he and his wife were in a unique situation, so going out wasn’t dangerous for them. It was still better for them to stay safe and secure at the base without taking risks.
Gu Pan also said, “Don’t rush, jobs can be quit if not suitable. What’s there to fear, just start with what you find and we’ll see later.”
With that said, everyone felt there was reason in her words, and decided to first settle down before anything else.
After talking for a while, Lu Xuerong said, “You two haven’t eaten yet, hurry and warm up the meal.”
Gu Pan replied, “Alright, then we’ll go to the kitchen to eat. You guys set up the inflatable bed and the sofa.”
Everyone split up to take care of their tasks.
After Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng finished eating, everything was tidied up on their side, and then everyone sat down on the air mattress and chatted until late into the night.
They didn’t stay up all night because considering Feng Zhekai and the others were worn out from the previous days and had been on edge, it was better to let them get some rest early.
That night everyone had a good sleep, and by a little past seven the next day, they were all up.
They didn’t cook in the morning, instead having powdered milk with oatmeal and biscuits.
After eating, Feng Zhekai and the others went to the bathhouse, and then they had to go to the household registration office to get registered.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to select a villa, which was something they had been looking forward to. After choosing the villa, they hoped to move in today. The home here would then be for their teammates. It was the apocalypse after all, there was no need to fuss over choosing an auspicious moving day, they would move whenever it was convenient.
Before going downstairs, Gu Pan also greeted Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou, telling them they’d find them in the afternoon since they were busy with something right now.
Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou knew they had their own things to handle, so they told them to take care of their business first and to talk about going out later when they had time.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng arrived at the housing trade center and immediately saw Chen Lu.
The two of them had a target and headed straight for Chen Lu.
Chen Lu was happy to see them and came forward, “Are you here for something to do with a house?”
Gu Pan said, “No, we want to pick a villa and were hoping you could accompany us to take a look.”
Chen Lu’s eyes widened as she looked at Gu Pan, “Sis, did you earn money that fast?”
Gu Pan couldn’t help but laugh at the girl’s exaggerated expression, “Well, you could say that.”
But Chen Lu was still hesitant, “But getting a villa requires not just money, but also approval. I’m afraid you haven’t been at the base long enough, and you’re neither a leader nor someone with special contributions. I doubt you could get the quota approved so easily.”
Gu Pan took out a recommendation letter from her pocket and handed it to Chen Lu. Since she kept valuable items in the ‘Space’, even though it seemed she took it out from her pocket, she had actually retrieved it from the ‘Space’.
After looking at it, Chen Lu looked at Gu Pan with admiration, “My goodness, you really are something else, that’s amazing.”
Gu Pan said, “Consider it good luck. We trust you to help us find a nice one.”
Chen Lu nodded repeatedly, “I’ll go get the keys.” Then she hurriedly ran to the manager to explain the situation and came back with the keys.
The manager was curious too and came over to see what kind of capable people they were. Of course, the manager was very composed and greeted Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng upon arrival, and in front of them instructed Chen Lu to meet their needs. After all, a person with such abilities was someone the manager wanted to curry favor with.
After the greetings, the manager handed Chen Lu a set of keys, “Take the guests in the car to have a look.”
Chen Lu didn’t need to be told twice and quickly acknowledged, “Got it, Manager.” Then she led Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng outside.
Reaching the door, Chen Lu led them to a four-seater golf cart parked nearby.
These types of carts were commonly seen at real estate sales centers or tourist attractions, but it was unexpected to find one at a post-apocalyptic base.
The golf cart was like a sightseeing train, economical and convenient, good not just for house viewing, but also for hauling things around the base. All things considered, it was quite practical at the base.
Chen Lu drove, with Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sitting behind.
The distance wasn’t far, but since the villa district was extensive, driving saved time, especially if they were going to see multiple properties. Of course, it also saved energy.
All the houses damaged by acid rain these days had been fixed. Although some looked a bit ugly, they were livable, and that was all that mattered.
Chen Lu drove along the road in the villa district while explaining, “The villa district is divided into four areas: North, South, East, and West. There’s a main crossroad in the middle, which makes it easy to navigate.”

Gu Pan asked, “What’s the difference between the four areas?”
Chen Lu replied, “The South District is the most popular because it’s close to the commercial area and is also in the center of the base, which makes it the most expensive. Next is the East District, which is adjacent to your current residential building and has more pedestrian traffic. The West District borders the greenhouse area, and the North District is relatively remote. These two districts are cheaper. But since money isn’t an issue for you, naturally you would choose the best…”
Listening to Chen Lu who seemed even happier than they were about choosing a house, Gu Pan genuinely thought this girl was not bad. She continued to inquire, “Within the best district, what are the differences?”
Chen Lu stopped the cart, “There aren’t many three-story houses to begin with, mainly built for the high-ranking officials and they’re all occupied. The rest are two-story houses with not much difference in layout. The major differences are whether they have a larger or smaller yard, proximity to the road, and variances in foundation and lighting. We will need to take our time to look at these.”
