Chapter 134 Is this really the end of the world?

At a glance, there were all kinds of things for sale.

Looking at this scene, Liu Ruyan was a bit stunned.

Even as a reborn person, she was shocked by what she saw.

Was this really the end of the world?

As one of the top ten bases, the gap between the First Base and this place was just too big, wasn't it?

"Did we pass through that gate just now and go straight back to the time before the end of the world?"

Liu Ruyan was in a state of shock when she suddenly heard Zhang Yuan say this. Not only did she come back to her senses, but she even laughed out loud.

Liu Ruyan pointed at the pedestrians on the road. "Before the end of the world, not so many people would dress like this."

Although there were quite a few shops, from the way these passers - by dressed, it could be seen that the people in the Second Base didn't necessarily have a much better life than those in the First Base.

At least, a large part of the people in the outer city were living an ordinary life.

Zhang Yuan also laughed. "So, where do we go now?"

Liu Ruyan didn't know where to go either, but when they arrived at a new place, they should first find a place to stay, right?

Zhang Yuan drove slowly forward while Liu Ruyan kept paying attention to the various shops on both sides of the road.

After turning a corner, she indeed saw a store with a hotel sign hanging.

"Let's go over there and ask?" Liu Ruyan said.

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement and parked the car by the roadside.

When looking from the outside, there wasn't much of a feeling. But now that they had entered, they realized that the house was really simple.

The house had brick walls and a cement - board roof. Everything was in its original state without any further processing.

There was a light tube hanging from the cement board, and it was quite bright.

There was only a counter in the room, and a woman was lying on the counter sleeping.

She was sleeping soundly. Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan had been in the room for a while, but she still didn't notice.

Waiting like this definitely wouldn't work. Liu Ruyan walked up to the counter and gently knocked on it.

The woman seemed to be startled and sat up straight in a flash.

"You..."

After saying just these two words, the woman's originally confused eyes became full of spirit. "Are you here to stay?"

Liu Ruyan didn't say yes or no, but just asked, "How much is the accommodation fee?"

"One catty of grain a day, and food and drink are not included."

The price was the same as that of the base they had stayed at before.

Seeing that the woman wasn't asking for an exorbitant price, Liu Ruyan said, "Can you take us to see the room first?"

"Sure!"

As the woman spoke, she shouted inside, "A - juan, come out quickly and take them to see the room."

"Coming!"

The voice of a young girl came from the back. Soon, a girl ran out from the back door.

She was a young girl, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old.

When she saw Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan, there was a look of amazement in A - juan's eyes, and she was stunned there.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take them to see the room." The woman urged.

"Oh! Okay, okay!" A - juan replied, smiled shyly, and her cheeks turned red. "Follow me, please!"

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan followed A - juan out of the back door and saw that there was a not - small yard at the back. There was a row of houses on three sides of the yard.

The room A - juan led them into was the first one on the east side.

As A - juan turned on the light in the room, a small room of less than ten square meters was completely presented in front of Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan.

The style of this house was no different from that of the front store.

There was a 1.5 - meter - wide wooden bed in the room. There were sheets and quilts on the bed, but they didn't look very clean.

For some reason, perhaps because glass was hard to get, there was no window in the room. There was a bedside table beside the bed, and that was all.

Other than the word "shabby", Liu Ruyan didn't know what other words to use to describe this house.

However, it was obvious that this was a house built after the end of the world.

Given the limited conditions, it was already quite good to build a separate room. What more could one ask for?

Seeing that Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan didn't say anything for a long time, A - juan looked at them with a nervous expression.

"This room is a bit shabby..."

Hearing A - juan's voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "It's okay. It's quite nice. We'll stay for two days.

By the way, our car is parked by the roadside outside your store. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"No problem, no problem!" A - juan shook her head repeatedly. "Cars can be parked anywhere. There are no traffic police now."

Liu Ruyan had just been smiling politely, but after hearing A - juan's words, her smile became much more sincere.

"That's good. I was worried that the car parked outside would be towed away."

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she looked at Zhang Yuan. "Go and pay the accommodation fee."

"Okay."

Zhang Yuan replied and turned to walk out.

Only then did Liu Ruyan look at A - juan. "Is this hotel opened by your family?"

A - juan nodded and replied softly, "Yes."

A - juan's face was a bit red, and her voice was very soft. Obviously, she was a bit nervous.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but reflect on herself in her heart.

Was she really that scary?

Just as she was thinking, she saw A - juan raise her eyes and look at her. "Is this your first time coming to the base?"

Liu Ruyan nodded. "Yes."

"Then why did you come to the base?"

"Because..." Liu Ruyan thought carefully before answering. "Because we want to see the world."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, A - juan was obviously a bit surprised.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "You can afford to drive a car. Your life in the small base should be good. Actually, you don't need to come to the Second Base.

There's nothing much to see here."

Liu Ruyan had been thinking about how to ask A - juan about the situation of this base, but she didn't expect that A - juan would start talking on her own before she asked.

Liu Ruyan immediately asked with an open - minded attitude, "Why do you say that? The Second Base is one of the top ten bases in the country. Is there anything bad about it?

The base I used to be in didn't have so many shops.

When I first saw these shops, I thought I had gone back to the time before the end of the world!"

A - juan shook her head. "It just looks good. In fact... life may not be better than that in a small base."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

Facing Liu Ruyan's eager eyes, A - juan nodded.

"The Second Base is divided into the inner city and the outer city. You know that, right?"

"Yes."

"Not only the base, but people are also divided into different classes.

People living in the inner city are first - class citizens.

Those of us who run shops in the outer city, as well as some capable people, are second - class citizens.

And those who can only make ends meet and live in the slums are third - class citizens."

Listening to A - juan's words, Liu Ruyan's expression gradually became serious.
