Could you tell us the requirements for living here?\" Bai Anhai asked gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the eaves, one must bow their head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A single room is one crystal core per month, a three-room two-hall apartment is ten crystal cores per month, a villa is one hundred crystal cores per month,\" the gatekeeper glanced at their bus, \"You can enter without renting a room, anywhere that’s open space can be used for parking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people, to save their crystal cores, drive in and sleep in their cars at night, saving wherever they can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buses like this belong to the luxury setup, spacious enough to sleep in comfortably without being cramped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we won’t rent a room!\" Bai Anhai’s eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saves another expense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, they can enter the space, so the bus won’t feel too cramped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gatekeeper opened the gate, letting the bus in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus attracted a lot of attention once it entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A car is considered a luxury here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those not renting a house, having a car is the most comfortable option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The living area was originally an unfinished housing complex, slightly decorated to become a safe base’s living area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called villa of one hundred crystal cores per month is merely a newly completed building, with an unpainted exterior and barely functioning water and electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villa and building area were fenced off, considered the VIP section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the VIP section, there was a vast open space, also called the \"slums.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A row of faucets stood in the open space, with people crowding around to drink and stave off hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faucet was the only public facility, ensuring the \"slums\" had water access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous cars were parked in the open space, with clothes hanging on them, as people treated their cars like homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each car sheltered people, and the owners did not dare to leave, as any unattended car would soon have someone slip inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that happened, who could say whose car it was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides cars, tents were more common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tents were set up wherever, with some people sleeping inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These tents required one crystal core, not everyone had crystal cores, and those without couldn’t afford a tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People without tents just slept on the ground, seemingly apathetic and lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who slept directly on the ground were unkempt and rough-looking, living just to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisibly, the \"slums\" were divided into three camps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car area, where all cars were parked together, provided mutual protection, sustaining a semblance of dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tent area, where tents were clustered, with occasional talks and chats with \"neighbors,\" together guarding against those without tents trying to steal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others lay wherever to sleep, seeking warmth together on cold nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin glanced around, having seen such scenes in her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were mostly ordinary or weak superpower users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, hunting zombies was too difficult, so to save crystal cores, they simply slept on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were simply too cowardly to hunt zombies, thinking the base was safe and reluctant to risk their lives for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hunting zombies, there were no crystal cores, so they couldn’t afford the crystal core fee for entering the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they stayed inside the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally doing odd jobs for food as payment, barely surviving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many of such people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those living in houses or villas were mostly superpower users or tough individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to afford the monthly crystal cores proved their ability to kill zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, those lying on the ground rarely entered houses or villas to steal or rob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most feared death and were greedy for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin sighed and had Bai Yifan drive the bus to a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner was separated from the outside world by a wall, with the outside being the base’s exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, zombie growls could be heard from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was the quietest, and hardly anyone stationed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base’s walls were high, actually very safe, but for those who dared not kill zombies, lying here was too daunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the bus stopped, Uncle Wang’s garbage truck arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green garbage truck swerved dramatically, bumping the bus, then stabilized to park beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus’s side visibly dented from the collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Wang casually got off, quickly placed his hand on the dent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than three seconds, the bus’s surface was as good as new, without a trace of Uncle Wang’s impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family merely felt a jolt and resignedly glanced at the garbage truck, then opened the door and got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, hadn’t we reconciled?\" Bai Yifan looked wistfully at the green garbage truck, \"Wasn’t it unintentional when I hit you before, why hit me back now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan had vowed to himself, that in the future, he’d avoid Uncle’s car from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply couldn’t compete with this car in a collision, so he had to steer clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Xiao Fan, what nonsense are you spouting? The old man doesn’t understand,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Wang clapped his hands, feigning ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as his hands were fast enough and his ability strong, no one could see proof of his collisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Envy, jealousy, hatred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had such a strong Gold Ability, he’d drive fast too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Liu slightly rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that Old Wang used to drive steadily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere along the way, Old Wang’s driving became wilder, and he couldn’t go a journey without hitting a few cars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Wang, I must say, your driving is too wild, better restrain yourself! Avoid trouble,\" Bai Zhengxuan advised earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such were the apocalypse times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were before, after being hit, he’d surely be lying on the ground, making a scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a family lawyer readily available!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries!\" Uncle Wang grinned defiantly, \"I won’t lose in a collision, and dealing with unreasonable people, I’ll just lie down and act my age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhengxuan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sounded so familiar, like something he had said before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Wang indeed matched his taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their thoughts were strikingly similar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many people here!\" Uncle Liu remarked, looking far off, \"Quite a number of survivors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin’s eyes flashed, there were more people alive than in her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Leng Yebai had hacked the network the day before the apocalypse, some listened to the warnings and stayed inside, leading to more survivors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Leng, are you staying here, not even renting a room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sweet voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked up to see Zhao Mimi and Captain Zhou walking their way.\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-06T03:09:16.803Z",1,"novelbin.me","551ddba26ed45fb05f1240c695d9b29bd355c7de2ce64de9641b5aa8451fb8cc","rebirth-before-apocalypse-my-whole-family-are-bi-chapter-70","rebirth-before-apocalypse-my-whole-family-are-bi-chapter-333",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-before-apocalypse-my-whole-family-are-bi-cover.jpg"]
