Lin Qing smiled and replied politely, “It's fine, we know and have prepared the rice.”

With that said, she opened the boot of the car, which had many things that were covered up, including a few bags of rice and many other supplies.

The militant nodded his head. Their goods were decent, although he had seen groups that were wealthier than them. Even so, it was a good amount.

Lin Qing carried the sack of rice they had prepared. It was a total of 28 catties, pretty good for the seven of them.

After handing over the rice, Qin Yi and the group entered the base. They had officially become members of the base.

Entering the base was only the first step, however. They had to undergo a full body check to prevent those who were bitten from mixing with those who were uninfected. There had been many instances where such people were not rooted out fast enough, resulting in the deaths of others. This made the bases extremely wary.

The body check required the people to strip and this was something Yun Huan, who was extremely touchy about hygiene, could not take. Qin Yi was also unwilling to do so. She disliked people touching her, and since she was also a woman, she could not go ahead with it.

Furthermore, these checks contained many vile secrets. In her previous life, Qin Yi had come over with the Qin Family. As she was of value then, the family did not force her to be checked. It was only after that did she discover that the checks contained many dishonest acts.

The man tasked with checking saw that Qin Yi and the others remained still, staring at them coldly, “This is compulsory, stop wasting my time, take off your clothes now.”

Yun Huan and the others, even Lin Qing, were not agreeable. They were born egotistical and proud. Even if the sky crumbled, they would keep their head held high.

Lin Qing straightened his back and pa.s.sed a glistening golden badge to the man, the one Wu Yue had handed to him previously. As they had just entered the base, it was better if they kept a low profile.

The man saw the badge and his expression changed immediately. Revealing a smile, he said, “So you guys are the friends Commander Wu mentioned? You should have said so earlier! Quick, go in, there's no need for this check.”

Lin Qing smiled at the man, “Thank you. Right. We are prepared to stay here, so I was wondering how the rooms were allocated here?”

Lin Qing took out a cigarette for the man. Upon seeing the stick, the man's eyes became very round. He was a chain smoker and to have survived the apocalypse was already a blessing. After all, it was impossible to obtain cigarettes, as they are considered luxury goods. Although he had quit smoking for the past few months, his hands immediately twitched upon seeing the stick.

Coughing a few times, he accepted the stick. “Rooms here are obtained with food. Better places with two rooms and a common area require 20 catties of rice. As for villas, they are even more expensive. But you're able to form teams to go on missions and receive rewards for them.”

After obtaining the information they wanted, Lin Qing thanked the man and the group left.

The inspection room was a standalone building. Upon leaving, another militant brought them to a window.

The window showed a relatively pretty lady, around w.a.n.g Wenwen's age. The reason she was relatively pretty was because she wore clean clothes and had a flushed red face. She was unlike others, who were pale and scrawny, so her first impression was someone who looked good.

The lady, Gu Miaomiao, immediately lit up when she saw Qin Yi and the group. When she saw Yun Huan behind, infatuation instantly filled her eyes.

G.o.d, this man was so handsome!

When the militant saw Gu Miaomiao's bashful face, he knocked on the window, “Elder sister Miaomiao, what are you looking at? I'm here to register these people.”
