Chapter 237: Base Construction (2)

Quan Yuanwei drank as well and said, "There are three types of bases out there. The central government establishes official bases, military bases are established and controlled by the military, and private bases are owned and operated independently."

"Currently, there is only one official base in Shoudu City, along with two military bases across the country. One is here in Juncheng City, and the other is in Jiangcheng City, about more than two thousand kilometers from here. The Air Force controls the military base in Jiangcheng City, and the army controls the military base here."

"As for private bases, they are scattered throughout the country. The biggest one is in Haicheng City, more than seven hundred kilometers from here."

Sima Yun added, "The Juncheng Military Base is currently being built about two hundred kilometers outside of Juncheng City."

"They are in the first phase of construction and are now recruiting survivors to help build the base. Survivors who participate in the construction will receive two meals a day and a house once the first phase is completed." _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

After listening to their explanation, Long Yu and Yao Ran exchanged glances.

They had already secured resident permits in the base for their friends, including the Sima and Quan families. However, sharing this good news with them would likely require Yao Ran and Long Yu to explain how they obtained the resident permits from Xu Qipeng.

As they both considered this, Shi Xuan spoke up, "I heard we need to pay to enter the base." Sima Yun nodded, "My elder brother asked a friend and found out that survivors who don't participate in building the base need to provide supplies to gain entry."

"To enter the official base, each person must hand over 10 kilograms of food. To join the military base, each person must hand over 40 kilograms of food. Entry requirements for private bases vary depending on their rules."

Hearing this, Huang Qian and the others fell silent.

With such high entry requirements, most survivors wouldn't be able to join. Many don't even have enough food to satisfy their hunger, so asking them to hand over 10 kilograms or 40 kilograms of food was essentially a way to prevent them from joining the base.

"Do you know when the base will be complete?" Jia Xiang asked.

Sima Yun shook his head and replied, "There is no news about that, but my elder brother said that construction was delayed because of the fire. The high temperatures caused the gas pipes and gas station to explode, spreading fire everywhere."

"There is no water to put out the fire, so it is hard to control it while building the base. There is also a shortage of workers, so it might take at least half a year to finish the first phase of the base's construction."

Listening to his answer, Huang Qian frowned and asked, "How large is the base? Will it have enough room to accommodate all survivors in Jiangcheng City?"

Quan Yuanwei replied, "They said that after the first phase is complete, it can accommodate up to three million people."
