Although Du Yue was not as experienced as Xia Ju, she could more or less guess from the young man's pale skin and weak voice. Xia Ju turned his head. Stop staring at me. I know he's injured, but I won't meddle in other people's business.

Hearing Xia Ju's words, Du Yue and He Xing were relieved. He Xing stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the development zone. With yesterday's experience, today's process was much faster than yesterday's.

After everything was arranged, they did not have to keep an eye on the place. They just had to rush back when it was about time to check and hand over the remaining food to the leader.

He Xing had already asked where the new residential area was during their chat. The three of them rushed over there without stopping. The residential area here was more like some old residential areas. The buildings were basically six-story buildings, and the distance between the buildings was very close. It was probably to build more buildings. The bricks on the outer walls of the buildings were of different colors, and the doors and windows were of various styles. Looking at it as a whole, the place looked like a mess. However, in this situation, it was almost impossible to find a batch of exactly the same building materials. These things were dug out from the ruins with great difficulty. They would naturally not be willing to throw them away if they could be used.

Like them, there were many people wandering around the residential area. They probably wanted to settle down here. Every building was about the same, so there was nothing to choose from. Du Yue and He Xing only had requirements for the floor. They wanted to live on the top floor so that their daily life would be more convenient.

Xia Ju did not care about the floor. She was satisfied as long as she had a place to sleep. Du Yue originally thought that the new development zone would take some time to complete. However, the people who occasionally passed by said that they had to pay the deposit and book the unit as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late to regret if they were intercepted. Du Yue stopped the woman who was talking and asked for specific information after giving her a loaf of cornbread. It turned out that the units were pre-sold and rented. Whether or not they could stay in the house they wanted depended on their speed. Otherwise, there would not be so many people walking around here. They all wanted to be the first to choose a satisfactory house.

This residential area was built by the base. The base had built a bungalow next to it as the housing management center of the new development area. After choosing the house that they wanted, they could go there to complete the procedures.

After knowing what was going on, Du Yue and the other two did not waste any more time strolling around. They went straight to the housing management center. As for which house they would choose? They did not choose at all! Du Yue's only request was for the unit to be on the top floor. The rest did not matter. Anyway, it was foggy outside, and they could not see the scenery from the house, let alone the sunlight. What difference did it make where they lived?

When the eternal night arrived two years later, no one would care which house they lived in. The three of them quickly found the housing management center. After a simple conversation with the staff, they learned another piece of news. The residential area of the development zone did not only have these six-story buildings.

In addition to these ordinary six-story buildings, there were also high-end villas. The houses in the villa area had been simply renovated. The walls had been painted, so there were no exposed bricks. The doors and windows were also carefully selected. Of course, the most important thing was that the villas were all single-family houses. The residents would not have to put up with unfamiliar neighbors. If they wanted to do something or eat something at home, they did not have to be so careful. Everything was good about the villa. The only drawback was that it was much more expensive than the units in ordinary small buildings. However, this villa was originally prepared for the few people who had food, so it was reasonable for the price to be a little higher.

Originally, Du Yue and the other two had already agreed to stay on the top floor on the way here. However, now that they knew that there was a villa area, they hesitated.

The villa cost a hundred catties of grain a month. With the same amount, they could rent a unit in an ordinary building for four months. Xia Ju did not have any food, so she did not have any objections at this juncture. It was all up to Du Yue and He Xing to decide. Du Yue could afford the 100 catties of grains, but she did not know how long the three of them would be staying in the fourth base. Although they could afford 100 catties of grains a month, it would be a little difficult for them if they stayed here long-term..
