What Xiaojuan said wasn't written in the information Kong Rui gave them before.
Liu Ruyan didn't think Kong Rui deliberately didn't tell them.
There was only one reason, that is, Kong Rui didn't know either that the survivors in the Second Base were actually divided into different classes.
This kind of idea definitely wasn't thought up by the original people on Blue Star.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan asked, "Was the Second Base dividing survivors like this from the beginning?"
Xiaojuan shook her head. "It wasn't like this at the beginning. It probably started from the time of the extreme cold."
Hearing Xiaojuan's answer, Liu Ruyan was more certain of her guess.
At the beginning, the Second Base was a normal base.
Later, the person from outer space should have taken power, so there was this thing of dividing survivors into classes.
Liu Ruyan temporarily suppressed the thoughts in her heart and continued to ask, "Besides this, what other regulations does the base have?"
Xiaojuan thought for a while before saying, "If you want to live in the base for a long time, you need to apply for a base citizen card.
To apply for a second - class citizen card, you need to pay 200 catties of supplies, and it's limited to food.
To apply for a third - class citizen card, you need to pay 50 catties of supplies, also limited to food.
You can rent or buy a house in the base. The price varies according to the location, size, and condition of the house.
Third - class citizens are not allowed to enter the inner city. Second - class citizens can enter the inner city, but they are not eligible to buy or rent a house there.
If you want to live in the inner city, you must first pay 500 catties of food to upgrade your citizen card to a first - class citizen card.
For people like us who run a shop, we need to pay at least 30 catties of food as citizen tax every month, otherwise, we are not allowed to do business."
Liu Ruyan, "..."
Liu Ruyan had always thought that by living until the tenth year of the apocalypse in her previous life, she had seen all kinds of outrageous things.
But now, after hearing what Ajuan said, Liu Ruyan realized that there was no most outrageous thing in the world, only more outrageous ones.
The contractor in the underground city of Rehe City before only harmed a few hundred people.
But now this person from outer space hiding in the Second Base was harming the entire base.
Liu Ruyan's hand clenched and then relaxed, and then clenched again.
She endured and endured before suppressing the urge to draw her knife.
Ajuan was standing next to Liu Ruyan. Seeing Liu Ruyan's actions, she asked curiously, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Liu Ruyan looked down at her hand and the corner of her mouth curved into an extremely cold arc.
"Nothing. My hand just itches a bit."
She wanted to kill someone.
Hearing this, Ajuan looked at Liu Ruyan with some confusion, but she was sensible enough not to ask further.
Liu Ruyan opened her hiking bag, took out a small bag of compressed biscuits, and stuffed it into Ajuan's hand.
"Thank you for telling me so much. This is for you."
Ajuan looked at the small bag of compressed biscuits in her hand and repeatedly declined. "No, no. I just said a few words..."
Liu Ruyan held Ajuan's hand. "For these messages, if I went to ask others, I would also have to give them a reward.
If you don't take it, I won't dare to ask you if I want to know something in the future."
A small bag of compressed biscuits was only enough for one meal. It really wasn't much.
The information Ajuan told her was definitely worth it.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan insisted, Ajuan didn't refuse anymore. She just said with a blushing face, "Thank you."
Just as Ajuan finished saying thank you, Zhang Yuan walked in from the outside.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan had come back, Ajuan said, "You two have a rest. I'll go out first."
After watching Ajuan walk away, Zhang Yuan closed the door and bolted it from the inside.
As usual, he turned off the lights, checked if there were any monitoring or eavesdropping devices in the room. After making sure there were none, he turned on the lights again.
There wasn't even a bench in the room, so Liu Ruyan simply took out a set of tables and chairs from the space.
The two sat down at the table and exchanged the information they had obtained.
It took Zhang Yuan so long to come back. Of course, it wasn't just about paying the accommodation fee. He was also getting information from the landlady.
"What they two said is consistent. It seems that the situation in the Second Base is like this."
As Liu Ruyan spoke, her expression gradually turned cold.
Zhang Yuan nodded. "As soon as I heard about the citizen hierarchical system, I knew it must be the idea of my fellow from outer space."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but stare at Zhang Yuan seriously.
Being stared at by Liu Ruyan like this, Zhang Yuan felt a bit strange. "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I was just thinking, why are you so different from them, even though you're all from outer space?"
Zhang Yuan didn't seek fame or profit.
He clearly had great strength, but he never thought of achieving great feats, let alone ruling Blue Star.
But why were that contractor in the underground city and this person in the Second Base so restless?
Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Zhang Yuan first laughed, and then proudly raised his chin. "That's because people as unique as me are really rare."
This time, Liu Ruyan nodded in agreement. "You're right!"
No one is perfect. If we talk about Zhang Yuan's shortcomings, there are definitely some, such as not being good at talking or chatting sometimes.
But such small flaws not only don't make people dislike him, but also make him seem quite interesting.
Compared with the other two people from outer space, he can even be considered cute.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan's brows furrowed again, Zhang Yuan comforted her.
"Don't think too much. Since they're so unruly, not willing to live a good life and insisting on causing trouble, they should be prepared to bear the consequences.
We were able to kill the contractor in the underground city, and we can also kill this one."
So what if they were all from outer space?
People with different paths will not walk together.
Zhang Yuan didn't want to watch Blue Star being messed up by these people from outer space.
If they weren't eliminated before they fully developed, this already precarious Blue Star would only become more and more devastated.
Zhang Yuan's words successfully comforted Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan nodded heavily. "Right!"
Sooner or later, they would kill him!
Of course, the sooner the better!
"Then now, let's hurry up and eat!"
As Zhang Yuan spoke, he rubbed his stomach. "People need to eat. If you don't eat a meal, you'll feel hungry."
The two of them had always had regular work and rest and meal times. If they didn't eat on time, he really felt hungry.
Liu Ruyan looked at Zhang Yuan with a bit of amusement. "You seem to know quite a few sayings."
Zhang Yuan also smiled. "I heard them all from Lao Kong before."
Hearing Zhang Yuan mention Kong Rui, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but think of the First Base.
The First Base indeed didn't seem as prosperous and lively as the Second Base. But Liu Ruyan believed that if there was a choice, most people would still be willing to live in the First Base.
That place was more like their home on Blue Star.
