This person’s words were very simple, but Du Yue and the other two did not think that they would be able to casually enter the iron door. However, no matter what, they had to go and take a look. “Thank you!”

He Xing thanked him and led Du Yue and Xia Ju to the right path. It was unknown if it was to save electricity or for some other reason, but the lights at the top of the passageway were very dim.

Walking along the passage, they could only roughly see the scene here. On both sides of the passage, there were doors. Du Yue looked inside and found that these doors contained rooms. Some of them were already occupied, while others were still empty. In all the rooms, there was nothing except for a lamp above their heads. Each room was very small, only about a dozen square meters.

Although most of the rooms were still empty, just thinking about the large group they had met on the way, they could predict that the rooms would definitely be overcrowded in a few hours.

The farther they walked, the fewer people there were around them. Most people would choose an empty room to stay in after taking a few steps. After walking for about 200 meters, the three of them saw the big iron door that the staff member had mentioned. The iron door did not look special, but Du Yue felt that there must be something special behind it. Otherwise, if someone started a riot and insisted on breaking into the next floor, such a thin iron door would probably not last for more than a few minutes. As she stared at the iron door, Du Yue heard someone talking. The voice was a little muffled.

Du Yue looked at the source of the sound and realized that the sound came from behind the iron door. In the corner under the iron door, there was a square wire mesh. It should be a loudspeaker or something. “Those who have no business here, please leave. The accommodation you’re looking for is upstairs.”

“We want to stay downstairs,” He Xing said straightforwardly.

“15 catties of grain per person.”

Du Yue’s expression did not change when she heard this. This was what they had thought before they came. If they wanted to live in a better place, they would definitely have to pay a price. Du Yue placed a luggage bag on the ground and unzipped it. “These are all sweet potatoes, a total of 50 catties. Please choose a better room for us.”

Although there was only a cold iron door in front of her, Du Yue believed that the person inside would be able to see everything outside. Sure enough, as soon as Du Yue finished speaking, the tightly shut iron door in front of her slowly opened, and four fully armed men walked out. They first checked the sweet potatoes, then nodded at the three of them. “Take your things and follow us.”

Du Yue and the other two followed them. When they passed by the door, Du Yue deliberately took a look. This seemingly ordinary iron door was actually at least 20 centimeters thick. However, the door appeared to be thin on the outside as a cover.

The three of them had just stepped through the door when the door closed again. Du Yue glanced around and found that the stairway was not far ahead. The stairs were convenient, and there was a small door. It should be the room of these guards. There was a large floor-to-ceiling scale outside the room. Before they could say anything, He Xing automatically poured the sweet potatoes onto the scale. As the sweet potatoes were poured in one by one, the number on the display screen gradually increased. When all the sweet potatoes in the bag were poured out, the number on the display screen stopped at 50.

“Go down the stairs. The two rooms 50 meters away from the left and right toilets are the largest. They’re about five square meters larger than the others. You can choose one of them. There’s a toilet on both sides.”

“Alright, thanks!”

The three of them thanked the guards before taking their things and continuing down the stairs. The stairs were still very long. The three of them walked for five minutes before they reached the next floor. Du Yue realized that the temperature was getting lower as they went down.𝑛𝒐𝑣𝔢𝓁𝓷𝔢xt.𝑐𝑂𝐦

The clothes the three of them were wearing now were made of special materials that could lower their temperature. The farther they went down, the colder they felt. After going down the stairs, Du Yue looked left and right. She found that no matter which side the passage was, it was equally long and endless.

If they lived in a middle room, they would probably pee their pants before they could run to the toilet. If it was too close to the toilet, they were worried that the smell would be strong. Du Yue secretly sighed. The extra five catties of sweet potatoes were not given in vain. The two rooms with the largest area were also the most reasonable in terms of location. “Do you want to live on the right or the left?” Du Yue asked.

He Xing and Xia Ju answered at the same time.

“I’ll listen to you.”

“You can choose.”

After saying that, the two of them glared at each other as if blaming each other for copying their words..
