Chapter 365: Spreading News ( 2 )
With Xiao Qi’s secretive behavior, the survivors’ curiosity was piqued. A young woman looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Comrade, why can’t we talk about it? Is that base not good?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Qi replied, "Not at all. On the contrary, the Lin’an City base is several times better than this base. Not only does the base offer jobs to everyone, but they also have lots of supplies and prepare a lot of apartments and small residences for sale or rent."
Hearing this, a middle-aged woman said, "Comrade, even if the base offers jobs, we are just ordinary people without any superpowers. What job can we get there?"
"That’s right. If we stay here, at least we are still able to get half a bowl of thin porridge. If we leave, we might starve to death in the new place," another survivor chimed in.
Xiao Qi looked at them and said, "Everyone, you don’t have to worry about this matter. The base not only hires ability-users; they also hire ordinary people."
"Every month, they will pay the workers’ salary using points if the workers are permanent residents, and using a crystal core if the workers are temporary residents. These points can be used to rent or buy a house, buy supplies, and even convert them into crystal cores."
"We have to buy everything there?" an old woman asked.
"If you work for the base, you will receive a fixed amount of rations every month besides the salary. For guards and specialists, the salary and rations they receive will be higher than common workers," Xiao Qi replied.
The survivors were taken aback by his words. Hearing his explanation, the Lin’an City base sounded like heaven in this hellish world. But would it really be that good in their current situation?
Noticing their disbelief, Xiao Qi pulled out his necklace and showed them the iron plate hanging on it while saying, "Look, this is the ID card issued by the Lin’an City base for permanent residents."
