I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Att.i.tude Reversal

The young man quickly followed after her, but when he reached the car door, he was still a little uneasy. Du Yue called out to him again, then he finally got into the car.

With the young man’s directions, it was much more convenient for Du Yue to drive around the base. It took less than 20 minutes for the two of them to reach the entrance of the house rental center.

The original Qinghe Summer Resort was a tourist attraction, so naturally, there was a ticket hall, service hall, and other facilities. The current house rental center was transformed from the original service hall.

The hall was clean and bright, and there were many people lining up to talk inside. It was very noisy.

Du Yue stood at the door and looked at the scene in front of her. She could not help but feel a little dazed. This place seemed like the world before the apocalypse.

“Miss, you can rent a house here.” The young man stomped his feet and waved his hands in the crowd, beckoning Du Yue. Du Yue followed the direction he pointed to.

The staff members here were very efficient, and it did not take long before it was Du Yue’s turn.

The person who received Du Yue was a man in a black suit. His face was expressionless as he pa.s.sed the tablet in his hand to Du Yue. He said in a business-like manner, “The places marked in red are occupied. The green ones are empty. You can choose where you want to stay.”

There was also a simple map on the screen of the tablet. Other than the dense red and green dots, nothing else could be seen.

Du Yue reached into her pocket, took out a Snickers bar, and handed it to the man while no one was paying attention. “Hey handsome, I’m new here, so I’m not familiar with this place. Could you please give me some good recommendations?”

The man’s movements were faster than Du Yue’s. He quickly put the Snickers bar into his pocket and a smile appeared on his face. “Beautiful lady, do you have any requirements for your house? Tell me and I can help you with it.”

“I want to live at a higher alt.i.tude. The size doesn’t need to be too big, just a single-family home will do. The surrounding environment should also be good.”

“Well, if this isn’t a coincidence? The houses in this location can satisfy the conditions you mentioned. Look here, this was originally a high-end hotel area in the scenic area, but now it has been converted into a residence. However, the better locations here have all been taken. There’s another building at the edge near the back of the mountain. It has a total of seven floors, and they’re all small single-family apartments. Which floor do you want to live on?”

Du Yue pondered for a moment. “The seventh floor, then!”

“No problem. I’ll help you choose a unit with a better layout. I’ll get someone to bring you to have a look at the house later. If you’re sure you want to rent it, you can come back with my colleague to pay the money and sign the contract.”

“Thank you so much, handsome.”

“You’re welcome. This is part of my job. Please wait a moment. I’ll call my colleague using the walkie-talkie and ask him to take you to see the house.”

The man called for someone over the walkie-talkie, and the person came over after a while. He took Du Yue to see the house.

Du Yue was about to leave with the man when she saw the young man waiting for her at the door. She took out two loaves of bread from her bag and handed them to him. “Thank you.”

The young man took the two loaves of bread and hid them in his arms. He quickly thanked her and turned to run away.

After the young man left, Du Yue and the man also walked out of the house rental center.

“Wait a minute. Let’s take the tour bus there.”

The tour bus that the man was talking about was the four-wheeled sightseeing tram that was originally left behind at Qinghe Summer Resort. One car could seat more than 10 people.

Du Yue looked at the tram in front of her and sighed silently. The country had a reason to build the base here. All the equipment and supplies that were originally here were being fully utilized.

The Qinghe Summer Resort covered a large area. The driver stepped on the gas pedal all the way, and it took them more than half an hour to reach the place.

The small building in front had a total of seven floors. Each building had two units, and each floor had two households. When she saw the man take out a flashlight, Du Yue also took it out of her bag and followed him upstairs.

When they reached the seventh floor, the man took out the key and opened the door on the left side of the corridor. The two of them walked in.

As the man entered the house and guided Du Yue to look at the layout of the house, his mouth was not idle. He said, “The layout of this building is the same. The interior area is 81 square meters with a kitchen and bathroom. Water and electricity are available, but you have to pay when you check in.”

Du Yue held a flashlight and looked around the house.
