Rebirth: The Doomsday Solitary Favorite Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Paying Taxes
--The warehouse is empty.
This is not difficult to understand. The North Suburb Farm is not far from the base. It would be strange if the things in the farm warehouse have not been moved out in more than four months after the end of the world.
Han Yi led Han Jiaojiao into the warehouse, and walked to the end of the warehouse. He stood in front of the wall and knocked gently.
"Dong, Dong." It looked like a cement wall, but it made a sound that only metal interlayers could make.
Everyone was surprised.
"...Is it a partition?" Han Jiaojiao's eyes widened.
Xiao Jian stepped forward to check and said, "This wall is very new. It should have been installed recently."
As Xiao Jian said this, he put his hands on the wall and touched it carefully. Finally, he stopped at one place and said to Han Yi, "Brother Han, there is an invisible door here."
Everyone looked carefully and found that there was indeed an inconspicuous crack in the door. The material and color of the door and the wall are the same, and the light in the warehouse is dim, so it is difficult to find a door here.
The door is equipped with an electronic induction lock. Xiao Jian and Zhou Xiaoliang knocked on it several times but failed to open it. Finally, Han Yi directly destroyed the door lock with mental power and forced his way in.
There is indeed a different world inside, it turned out to be a very hidden experimental studio!
The scene was messy, and many documents were scattered on the ground. Han Jiaojiao picked up two of them, which were all written with characters and functions that she couldn't understand.
There were several computers on the table, which should be a small workstation, but because there was no electricity now, the computer could not be opened.
"The people here probably left in a hurry, and they didn't have time to take many things away." Han Yi picked up the documents on the table and flipped through two pages at random. "The documents left behind are all missing pages, which should be missed."
"Brother Han, look." Zhou Xiaoliang found a black and white drawing from a pile of documents.
The drawing is a bit like a black and white scan of an X-ray film. You can see the bones and muscles of a part of the body, but you can't tell what kind of creature it is, nor can you tell which part of the body is shown in the photo.
"Could it be a photo of that monster?"
Han Yi took a quick look and said calmly: "It's hard to draw a conclusion now, take it back first."
Everyone looked around the laboratory again, but couldn't find any valuable clues. Han Yi asked Xiao Jian and Zhou Xiaoliang to remove the hard drives of these computers, maybe they could find some clues from them.
After doing all this, the purpose of this trip was considered to be completed, and everyone returned to the car and drove back to the base.
Unexpectedly, they encountered trouble at the security check.
Two soldiers holding guns pointed at the notice posted on the outer protection network and said unhappily: "The notice was just posted this afternoon. You need to pay a travel tax when entering and leaving the base. 30% of the supplies you carry will be charged, and you can also use crystal cores to offset it. Are you paying supplies or crystal cores?"
Han Jiaojiao was surprised and said: "We don't necessarily have to do missions when we leave the base." They just went to the farm for a stroll and didn't find any supplies at all. What should they pay with?
"Yes, we didn't gain anything this time. Can we pay taxes with points?" Zhou Xiaoliang said on the side.
The soldier shook his head, "Either supplies or crystal cores. This is the rule. Everyone must abide by it."
At this time, another car drove over, and the soldier quickly let it go, and the car drove into the base unimpeded.
"Hey?! How did that car get in?!" Zhou Xiaoliang shouted.
"Orange cards don't need to pay taxes." The soldier replied.
Han Jiaojiao looked at Han Yi worriedly. This is obviously another new rule made by General Ji. First it was conscription, then control of medical resources, and now it is taxation... Every change is to encourage people with special abilities to join the military.
All for the purpose of making Han Yi bow to him.
"Xiao Jian, give them." Han Yi said calmly without getting angry.
Xiao Jian and Zhou Xiaoliang got out of the car, opened the trunk, and moved the food out. Unexpectedly, the soldier came over, pointed at the gasoline and ammunition in the back compartment, and said, "Take these down too."
Xiao Jian was furious, "We brought these out from the base!"
The soldier snorted, raised his gun and pointed at the notice outside the base, and said in a bad tone, "Look carefully, no matter whether it is taken out or brought back, as long as it is the materials you carry, you must pay 30%! If you don't pay, stay outside!"
"You!!"
"Xiao Jian!" Han Yi frowned and shouted, "Give it to him."
Xiao Jian gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, and he and Zhou Xiaoliang silently moved down the wooden box containing the ammunition.
After the things were moved out, several soldiers from the security check immediately came over to inspect them. One of the soldiers was in charge of registration. While recording in the book, he said coldly: "Don't be unconvinced. If you don't want to pay taxes, you can join the superpower team. Since you have the ability not to join the army, what's the big deal about paying some taxes."
The soldier who was moving things next to him said: "These superpowers nowadays are really crazy. They think they are great with superpowers. They don't think about where they live and eat if there is no base..."
"Isn't it? If you ask me, this tax should have been collected long ago. How can we let them take advantage of it everywhere?"
"The world is different now. People nowadays are more selfish than each other and only think about themselves..."
"..."
Han Jiaojiao held Han Yi's hand and looked at him worriedly. Han Yi's face was as gloomy as usual, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Ji Huaijun was so unscrupulous because he thought Han Yi had nowhere to go, and his reasons were high-sounding enough. Every measure was for the construction and development of the base, and no one would care about the personal wishes of the people who bore these policies.
Conscription, guarding the base is everyone's responsibility, of course you have to join the army.
Medical and pharmaceutical resources are in short supply, of course, only those soldiers who were injured while protecting the base can be given priority.
Paying taxes, social security must be paid in peacetime, not to mention that now is an extraordinary period.
Frankly speaking, if Han Jiaojiao was a military man, she would probably think these measures are very good, and they are beneficial to the country and the people. But different positions and feelings are also different. Ji Huaijun's obvious targeting made her worry about her brother.
Now is not the time to tear each other apart.
The only thing that made her fortunate was that Ji Huaijun was a soldier, so his methods were more of an open conspiracy, open and aboveboard, and high-sounding. For those who don't obey discipline, Ji Huaijun's choice is to use the stick of power in his hand to hit them again and again, rather than plotting and scheming to make people defenseless.
Han Jiaojiao held Han Yi's hand, squeezed it gently, and whispered to him: "Brother, don't be angry." It's not worth getting angry for such a small character. When they leave here, they don't have to look at these people's faces anymore.
Han Yi smiled faintly in a soothing way. How could he let his baby follow him to suffer such idleness?
Bang! ——Suddenly there was a sound.
"Ahhhhh! ——My legs! My legs!" The two soldiers outside the car were tripped while carrying the ammunition box, and the heavy wooden box fell directly on their legs!
They tried to get up, but the wooden box seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it didn't move at all, and it was getting heavier and heavier!
Han Yi said coldly: "Drive."
The car barrier in front rose uncontrollably.
"Brother Han, don't you want to do a physical examination?" Zhou Xiaoliang asked.
Xiao Jian stepped on the accelerator and said fiercely: "Be the boss of you!"
The off-road vehicle suddenly accelerated and rushed through the security checkpoint, leaving only a pile of dust on the ground.
