Yao Ran nodded as she read through the list. When she was done, she said, "We will stay here temporarily for now, but I want to rent a few houses in the same area."
Hearing this, the staff member replied, "We have limited living space, so we can’t allocate more than what’s allowed per person."
Understanding that the space was limited, Yao Ran pointed to Long Yu and the others waiting in line behind her. "My team has more than five hundred people right now, and more will be arriving in the near future. I want us all to live in the same area for convenience."
After listening to her explanation, the staff member typed something on her keyboard.
A few seconds later, she explained, "Right now, the only available place that meets your requirements is the newly built Tower F, but the rooms there haven’t been cleaned yet. I can assign Tower F to your team if you don’t mind cleaning the room yourself."
"No problem. We can take care of that later," Yao Ran responded calmly.
Thinking about the time and effort it would save if the group cleaned the rooms themselves, the staff member was happy and said, "Then I will arrange for all of you to stay in Tower F."
Hearing this, Yao Ran discreetly took out three pieces of chocolate from her space and placed them in front of the staff member. "Thank you, Comrade."
In the past, no one would have dared to accept a bribe. But now, seeing chocolate—something she hadn’t tasted in over a year—the staff member’s eyes lit up.
She quickly slipped the chocolates into her pocket and said, "No problem."
After that, the staff member resumed typing on her keyboard and added, "Comrade, you can collect your identity card later in the main hall after paying the fee." frёeωebɳovel.com
She then pointed at the piece of paper in front of Yao Ran and explained, "You will need to pay for food, water, and sanitation. There are two ways to earn food: one is by participating in construction work and earning wages, and the other is by scavenging to support yourself."
She smiled and continued, "Of course, if you have enough supplies, you can use them to pay for everything. For those who lack the means or skills to scavenge supplies from the sea, or for those who are injured and too weak to work, we offer the option to pay rent on credit for the first month."
"For the first month, you only need to pay for 2 kilograms of food. The amount increases to 5 kilograms in the following months. Each person is only given one room and needs to share the dormitory with others."
"As for daily necessities, we provide 3 kilograms of sweet potatoes or potato flour for the first three months. After that, if you want more, you can buy it from the official store."

Seeing Yao Ran fall into silence, the staff member smiled and said, "Comrade, if you know about farming, you can buy seeds from us and sell your harvest back to us to cover rent, water, food, and other fees."
"These seeds are high-yield potatoes and high-yield sweet potatoes that can be harvested in two months. Don’t think that life is too difficult now. Have faith in the country, and the days ahead will gradually improve."
