Jing Mo retrieved his card and looked at Su Nian, "Do you want to go to the housing leasing center?"
Su Nian nodded, "Yes, let's go."
She had only paid rent for a year before, intending to leave some contribution points in her hand for electricity bills.
But now, the contribution points were more than enough, so she needed to pay rent for another year.
As for what would happen after the earthquake, that would depend on the situation.
The housing leasing center was nearby, and the two of them walked there, arriving in no time.
Su Nian not only paid rent for another year but also prepaid a thousand contribution points for electricity.
As for water bills, they were completely unnecessary.
The water pipes were frozen solid, and not a drop of water could flow out, so there was no need for water.
But no one worried about using water.
There was snow everywhere in the base, and boiling a pot could easily provide half a pot of water.
As long as there was firewood, no one would be short of water.
After leaving the housing leasing center, Su Nian felt relieved.
It felt good to be rich before the apocalypse.
After the apocalypse, the feeling of not lacking resources and contribution points was also very good!
Just as Su Nian was about to say that they could go home after finishing everything, she heard Jing Mo say, "With so many contribution points, let's go to the supermarket!"
Su Nian looked at Jing Mo and nodded in agreement after seeing his bright eyes.
Jing Mo had done so much for her, so now it was her turn to accompany him to the supermarket.
The supermarket was a bit far from here, so they had to drive.
In such a large base, there was certainly more than one supermarket.
But the bigger the supermarket, the more complete the goods.
Jing Mo drove straight to the largest supermarket.
Today was a rare day without snow, although the temperature was still low, not having icy snowflakes hitting the exposed skin made it feel much better.
Perhaps because it didn't snow, there was a long queue outside the supermarket.
The last time Su Nian came to the supermarket was during the extreme heat.
It was at night, and only one counter was open.
But now, the supermarket had ten counters open.
With so many counters open at the same time, people wouldn't get frostbite from waiting too long to buy things.
"You wait in the car, I'll go line up first!" Jing Mo said.
Hearing Jing Mo's words, Su Nian immediately shook her head, "Let's go together, I'm not that delicate."
She wasn't dressed any thinner than Jing Mo, so it was perfectly fine for her to queue outside.
Jing Mo didn't say anything either. The two of them got out of the car and stood in a queue with fewer people.
Su Nian stood in front of Jing Mo and looked ahead. There were probably more than ten people in front of her.
Bored standing there, Su Nian asked Jing Mo, "What do you plan to buy?"
"I don't know, I'll see what they have. It's been a long time since I went to the supermarket."
Just as Su Nian was about to speak, the person in front of her turned around.
"Young people, even if you have contribution points, don't spend them recklessly. It's best to buy some compressed biscuits. When you get back, grind them up and cook them with rice. It's delicious and can fill you up for a long time."
Just hearing the voice, Su Nian knew that the speaker should be an older lady.
In the pre-apocalyptic era, who would say that compressed biscuits were delicious?
But in the current situation, compressed biscuits had become a delicacy.
Since the person was well-intentioned and kindly offering life advice, Su Nian and Jing Mo wouldn't be ungrateful.
The two nodded in agreement and thanked her in unison.
The speed at which the people in front bought things was much faster than Su Nian had expected.
In about ten minutes, it was Su Nian's turn.
Su Nian had only come with Jing Mo to accompany him, so she hadn't planned to buy anything herself.
But when she walked to the counter, she indeed saw a shelf behind the counter with some sweet potatoes and potatoes.
These sweet potatoes and potatoes were small in size, indicating malnutrition.
Seeing Su Nian staring at the sweet potatoes and potatoes, the clerk urged, "Are you buying or not?"
Hearing this, Su Nian nodded, "Give me two pounds of each."
"Two pounds?"
The clerk's voice rose considerably, sounding surprised, "That'll be ten contribution points per pound. Are you sure?"
Su Nian nodded, "Yes, I'm sure."
Saying that, Su Nian took out her card.
Seeing this, the clerk didn't say anything more, just packed the sweet potatoes and potatoes into a cloth bag, then weighed them, totaling four pounds.
"Do you have something to pack them yourself? Our cloth bags are charged one contribution point each."
Su Nian hesitated.
This was much more expensive than the shopping bags in the supermarket before the apocalypse.
Su Nian reached into the large pockets of her clothes and took out a neatly folded cloth bag, "I have one."
The cloth bag had been prepared beforehand and was stored in her space. She took it out now under the guise of concealment.
Anyway, her clothes had big pockets and were thick, so no one could see what was inside.
Su Nian had many contribution points, but she couldn't afford to waste them.
She wouldn't do business like one contribution point per bag.
Su Nian packed the potatoes and sweet potatoes into her cloth bag before swiping her card.
Swiping the card was the same as swiping a meal card when she was in school.
The card machine clearly displayed Su Nian's contribution point balance, which was a five-figure number.
The clerk saw the number and instantly understood.
Turns out she was a wealthy person!
No wonder she could buy potatoes and sweet potatoes without batting an eye.
Thinking that Su Nian must be a capable person, the clerk said a few more words.
"These potatoes and sweet potatoes are new varieties cultivated by scientists. They are very cold-resistant. You can try growing them yourself when you get back."
Su Nian had already guessed this when she saw the sweet potatoes and potatoes earlier.
But she didn't expect the clerk to say this.
"I know, thank you."
Su Nian said and put away her card, holding the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the side.
The clerk found it strange that Su Nian didn't leave but didn't say anything.
But before she could say anything, she heard someone say, "Give me two pounds of potatoes and sweet potatoes as well."
The clerk was puzzled.
She looked at Su Nian, then at Jing Mo, and then realized that these two people knew each other.
Everyone knew that a wealthy person's friend was still a wealthy person.
This time, the clerk didn't say anything and directly packed the potatoes and sweet potatoes for Jing Mo.
"I don't have a bag, so I'll buy this bag too." Jing Mo added.
Having been shocked many times, the clerk had gotten used to it. She nodded, her voice flat, "Okay."
Jing Mo looked behind the clerk and could only see the shelves with potatoes and sweet potatoes and the shelves with compressed biscuits.
"Besides these, do you have anything else?"
