Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Successfully enter the base.
With the several million in her hand, it was impossible to spend it all just by buying a little supplies every day.
Liu Ruoyan didn't want to waste it, so she simply went to buy two off-road vehicles.
The prerequisite was that the car dealership owner could help her buy two million yuan worth of gasoline.
At that time, prices were skyrocketing and everyone was thinking about hoarding food. The automobile industry was almost deserted.
Liu Ruoyan was willing to buy two million-yuan cars and so much gasoline, so the car dealership owner readily agreed.
After all, he could make a lot of money just by handling this deal.
Liu Ruoyan didn't care how much money he made from it. Spending the money and turning it into gasoline stored in her space was much better than having a pile of useless banknotes.
Until now, Liu Ruoyan still had over a hundred thousand yuan in cash left.
Liu Ruoyan knew that there was no chance to spend this money anymore. Fortunately, it wasn't a large amount, so it wasn't too much of a pity.
Liu Ruoyan drove the car out of the underground parking lot. The roar of the car caught the attention of the remaining survivors in the community.
Liu Ruoyan heard that some people rushed out of their homes, some cursed loudly, and some even started running like crazy, following her car.
But Liu Ruoyan didn't stop at all. She rushed out of the community at the fastest speed.
These people had all had ideas about Liu Ruoyan. It was just that they couldn't defeat her.
Liu Ruoyan and they seemed to be at peace with each other, but Liu Ruoyan knew that as soon as there was a chance, these people would devour her alive.
Liu Ruoyan wasn't a saint. Of course, she couldn't tell these people the news about the base, nor could she take them away.
After leaving the community, Liu Ruoyan didn't stop either. She continued to drive towards the highway at the fastest speed.
The city looked very quiet now, but beneath the quietness, there were undercurrents surging.
There were too many people hiding in the dark, ready to rush out at any time to deliver a fatal blow to others.
Liu Ruoyan didn't want any unexpected troubles. She just wanted to leave quickly.
Some people rushed out when they heard the sound of the car and even blocked the middle of the road, trying to force Liu Ruoyan to stop.
But how could Liu Ruoyan stop?
Liu Ruoyan slammed the accelerator to the floor. When there were still a few meters away, the person blocking the way quickly dodged to the roadside.
Regarding this, Liu Ruoyan just sneered.
Cowardice in the face of death is human nature.
When she was about to leave the urban area, Liu Ruoyan noticed that a minivan was following her.
That minivan looked a bit familiar.
Liu Ruoyan frowned and thought for a while. Finally, she remembered that it seemed to be Brother Dao's minivan.
Weren't Brother Dao and his group dead?
Could there be some who slipped through the net?
And this one who slipped through the net had been secretly watching her?
Liu Ruoyan thought it was impossible and didn't pursue it further in the end.
The performance and speed of the minivan couldn't compare with Liu Ruoyan's car at all.
After getting on the highway, Liu Ruoyan left the minivan far behind.
The route to the First Base had been thoroughly studied by Liu Ruoyan when she was at home.
Liu Ruoyan had both electronic and paper versions of the national map. She wasn't afraid of taking the wrong road at all.
Liu Ruoyan kept the accelerator to the floor all the way and rushed to the First Base at the fastest speed.
Three hours later, Liu Ruoyan got off the highway and arrived at Rehe.
The First Base was built in Rehe.
There were many mountains and rivers in Rehe.
Liu Ruoyan thought that this should be the reason why the First Base was established here.
The First Base was also easy to find because it was an expansion based on the Chengde Mountain Resort in Rehe.
Liu Ruoyan had never been to the Chengde Mountain Resort in Rehe before, but with the map in hand, it wasn't difficult to find it.
On the way to the mountain resort, Liu Ruoyan found a place to stop and started taking things out of her space.
Summer sleeping mats, pillows, clothes and bedding, various toiletries.
Radios, solar power storage panels, induction cookers and matching cookware, electric kettles, rice cookers. Pots, pans and other utensils were also taken out, filling half of the trunk.
Looking at the remaining space, Liu Ruoyan took out two bags of vacuum-packed rice, each weighing fifty catties.
There were also some vacuum-packed dehydrated vegetables, instant noodles, mushrooms, and seasonings.
Half a bottle of oil, half a jar of salt.
Some instant noodles and sausages were also taken out.
On the passenger seat, Liu Ruoyan placed a large mountaineering bag. The bag was bulging and also full of things.
Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Ruoyan stopped and continued driving towards the base.
When she saw the base from a distance, Liu Ruoyan let out a long sigh.
After waiting for nearly a year, she finally arrived at the base!
Liu Ruoyan wasn't the only one going to the base. There were cars going to the base both in front and behind her.
After gradually getting closer, Liu Ruoyan noticed that there were many cars outside the base, forming a long queue. It was estimated to be more than a thousand meters long.
As soon as Liu Ruoyan parked her car at the end of the queue, she heard some movement behind her. Looking through the rearview mirror, she saw a car driving towards this side in the distance.
It seemed that quite a lot of people had got the news about the base.
While waiting in the queue, Liu Ruoyan was observing the base in front of her all the time.
Liu Ruoyan didn't know what the Chengde Mountain Resort in Rehe used to look like, but what she could see at this moment was only a wall, a very high wall.
This wall extended infinitely on both sides. It was impossible to estimate exactly how far it extended, but its height was at least four or five meters.
Not to mention anything else, just this wall alone gave people a great sense of security.
Although the vehicle queue was long, the speed of the queue moving forward was still quite fast.
An hour later, it was Liu Ruoyan's turn.
"Hello, please show your identification documents."
The staff member who came up was a young man with a wheat-colored complexion and quite handsome features.
Liu Ruoyan handed over the identity card, household register, and graduation certificate that she had prepared in advance.
The staff member took them and walked to the table, handing them to another staff member sitting at the table.
One minute later, the staff member came back. Besides returning Liu Ruoyan's original documents to her.
"To enter the base, each person needs to pay ten catties of grain."
Hearing this, Liu Ruoyan wasn't surprised at all.
In her previous life, when she went to various small bases, she had to pay an entry fee, let alone this kind of large base.
Liu Ruoyan opened the mountaineering bag on the passenger seat and took out a bag of vacuum-packed millet from it.
This bag happened to be ten catties.
The staff member took the millet and handed Liu Ruoyan a slip of paper and a booklet, "Continue driving in, and turn left to the parking lot."
Liu Ruoyan took the things and continued driving in. After turning left, she indeed saw a huge parking lot.
The parking lot wasn't open-air. There was a carport above it.
It was estimated that thousands or even tens of thousands of cars had been parked there already, but it was only one-fifth full.
There were searchlights hanging under the carport. They should all be powered by solar energy. At this moment, each light was emitting light, attracting a bunch of mosquitoes to gather under the lights. Looking from a distance, it was all black and really disgusting.
Liu Ruoyan parked the car and didn't rush to get out. Instead, she opened the booklet.
The booklet only had a few pages, and there wasn't much content on it.
