Following the flow of people and the guidance of the staff, the group arrived at the real estate transaction office. The staff noticed their impressive demeanor and quickly stepped forward to introduce them.

"Are you looking to buy a house? This way, please. What kind of house are you looking for? Our security zone is divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D. Area A is in the very center and has the best defense. It's mainly where important government and military personnel reside. Area B is a villa area, close to Area A. The houses in Area B are the best. It's quieter and you don't have to worry about safety because it's close to Area A. There are also military patrols, so the security is relatively better."

"Sector C is next to sector B. It's a residential area with smaller apartments and more people. Sector D is on the outermost edge. It's a poor area with mostly tents and wooden huts. It's a bit messy."

The group looked at Ziyue, as if she were the one making the decision, and said, "Let's take a look at Area B."

"Okay, okay, come on, how about this one? This one is closest to Area A, so there's absolutely no problem with the security. Or this one, if you prefer something quieter, you can choose this one. It's also close to Area A, and this house is quite large with front and back gardens. The surrounding villas are all a certain distance away. However, this one will be a bit more expensive; the annual rent is 3000 catties of grain."

"Take us to see this quieter building."

The staff member excitedly led the group toward the villa. There was a reason for her joy: many people had inquired about the house before, but they all felt the rent was too expensive, with such a large amount of grain to pay every year, and that it would be better to move to another house.

If she sells the property, she can get a share of the profits. If she rents out this villa, she can get 100 jin of grain, which will last her a long time.

The group arrived at the villa, which was built in a white European style. In the front garden, several pear trees were in full bloom, and there were also two cherry trees.

Entering the villa, it is indeed quite large. The first floor has a spacious living room, next to which is the kitchen and dining area. There is also a study, gym, and leisure and entertainment area on the first floor. There are six rooms on the second and third floors respectively. Overall, it is very nice.

"This one will do." Ziyue made the decision decisively, completed the formalities with the staff, handed over the grain, and went home with the keys.

"Wow, that's great! We finally don't have to sleep in the open anymore."

"Yes, at least we have a place to stay for now," the Jiang brothers, Jiang Liu and Jiang Yuan, said excitedly.

"Next comes a tough task—cleaning the house." As soon as Ziyue finished speaking, the group let out a desperate wail.

"It's so big, how are we supposed to clean it!"

"When will this cleaning ever finish?!"

"You can hire people to clean the trading area," Qin Zhan reminded him. He was joking, but he wouldn't even dare to think about having a few people sweep, mop, and wipe such a large area.

"Pfft~ Is it that scary? You didn't even flinch at the zombie horde!" Ziyue mocked them.

Jiang Liu and Jiang Yuan didn't care; they immediately rushed out to hire people to clean the house.

When they returned, they brought back four women in their fifties. Jiang Liu stayed at home to look after the house, while the other four, feeling they had nothing to do, decided to go for a stroll in the safe zone.

The group walked west along the main road of the villa area, having heard that there was a trading market there where people could buy and sell freely. Although they were not short of supplies, they decided to go and check it out first, at least to find out the prices.

I must say, this trading market is quite lively. It's a street about a kilometer long, bustling with people, like a street before the apocalypse.

But upon closer inspection, one might not think so, because many of them were not dressed cleanly, some were extremely thin, and some had dull eyes...

"It's a beautiful piece of jewelry, a gold lock made of pure gold, and it only costs two loaves of bread."

"Clothes, beautiful clothes, one piece of bread for each."

"A designer bag, not 9998, just two steamed buns to take home!!!"

There were so many different kinds, it was dazzling, as if we had returned to the earliest days when humans used to barter.

"How much is this?" Shi Yu stopped in front of a small stall and pointed to a red agate bracelet.

"Five packets of instant noodles," the stall owner said excitedly, looking at the group's well-dressed appearance.

"Okay, I'll buy it." He said, then discreetly took out a large bag from his backpack, which contained five small packets of instant noodles, and handed it to the vendor.

"Here you go." Shi Yu grabbed Zi Yue's arm and fastened the bracelet to her wrist without giving her a chance to say anything. To be honest, it looked quite nice on her.

Ziyue had fair skin and slender wrists. The fiery red agate stone set off her fair wrists, making them look as red as blood and as white as snow, a dazzling beauty.

"Give it to me?" Ziyue was surprised. She had been wondering why he would buy a bracelet for no reason.

"Yes, it's a gift for you, you're not allowed to take it off," Shi Yu said haughtily, turning her head away.

"Uh, thank you." Since it was already fastened, what else could Ziyue do? It was just a bracelet.

Shi Yu glanced at Zi Yue's wrist, which was adorned with a red agate bracelet, out of the corner of his eye, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Qin Zhan watched the scene unfold from the side, and for some reason, he found it somewhat jarring.
