Doomsday rat

Chapter 675 Station 2
But the watchtower is a military unit, so it is not very convenient for people to come and go, and it is impossible for soldiers to work part-time as service personnel, so what should we do?So someone had an idea and simply gave these jobs to the refugees.In this way, there are not only management and service personnel, but also the work and life of some refugees.

Although there are only a couple and three people in this small shop, it is quite functional, no worse than the high-speed service area in the old world.It is both a restaurant and a hotel and can also store goods, while providing refueling, water and simple car repair services.

The income is also not bad, not only can support the husband and wife, but also three children.Two of them have already been sent to the alliance school to study. If there is no major accident, they will be able to become apprentices after five years of study, and they will be able to get a formal household registration in the future.

If you really have the talent for studying, have good grades, and are admitted to middle school, then you don't have to worry about it, and all the expenses will be borne by the alliance.After graduating, they will either work as a technician in a factory of the alliance or as an officer in the army. They may even find a job in the government. The future is bright!

"It's not that our dogs look down on people. We are also refugees. What capital do we have to look down on other refugees? The main reason is that the drivers of the transport team are too calculating, and we don't just turn on the water for everything. We also need money to buy coal, which is really good." Sorry!"

When asked why he was so unfriendly to the drivers, the shop owner felt very wronged.He is really not stingy, but all the guests staying and eating here will get free boiled water.It's just that the drivers of most private transport teams are not enough to take advantage of it, and they don't spend a penny to take advantage of it, which ruins this favor.

"Then you are not afraid of retaliation for treating them like this?" Hong Tao nodded, thinking that what the shop owner did was not wrong.What people do is business, not welfare, of course they can decide the business strategy.

There is just one problem that has to be considered, people are such a thing, it is often not enough to take advantage of it.When I can take advantage of it, I take it for granted, but if I can't take advantage of it, I immediately hold a grudge.The personnel structure of the coachman is very complicated, even if [-]% of them are responsible for the crime, this small shop is afraid that it will be unlucky.

"Cut, they don't dare! See, there is a garrison next to us. It's not just bragging, I just need to shout, and soldiers will come to help immediately. As long as they don't intentionally bully others, let alone transport refugees, they are considered The drivers of the alliance team have to be polite too!"

Hearing this, the owner of the shop opened his mouth and smiled, and pointed to the watchtower not far away, his face full of pride, as if those soldiers were standing guard for his house.

It makes sense to say this harshly.The watchtower and the big car shop hang alone outside the base, and they can easily become a community of interests.As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is very appropriate to help each other.

"Well, it seems that our journey has been solid. There is no need to be afraid of being escorted by the alliance army. We have arrived with our eyes closed!"

If so, Hong Tao would not have to worry about safety on the road.No matter how tough the refugees were, they would not dare to kill and steal under the eyes of the alliance army. If it was just quarreling and fighting, no one would be afraid of anyone!
"Hey, I dare not think so. Is this trip going to Caofeidian to fetch sea goods? Let me tell you, this road only goes to the Jinmen Industrial Zone, and there is no alliance sentry on the [-]-mile road from there to Caofeidian. .”

"Especially the tens of miles from Chadian and Hangu to the east, there are reeds along the way, covering the sky and the sun, and you can't see the edge at a glance. It's not safe to walk in broad daylight. Every year, people go in and can't get out. !"

The owner of the store is actually very kind, otherwise he would not provide free boiled water to passengers.Hong Tao spent money in the store and spoke kindly, so he was willing to say a few more words.Especially with regard to safety on the road, even if you haven't passed it once, you can still gain something from listening to the chatter of coachmen and drivers in the past for many years.

"Ah? There won't be any bandits inside, right?" Hong Tao felt relieved for a few seconds, when he heard the shopkeeper's words, he raised his head again.

"Bandits? Hey, if only bandits... Let me tell you, there were millions of zombies gathered in that place, and they were all flooded by the flood. Some rushed into the sea, and some were simply buried in the Under the mud. It is said to be a zombie, but it is actually a human."

"So many people died for no apparent reason, there must be a lot of resentment, and if someone catches up with you, something will happen. You must remember that no matter what, you have to stay at Jinmen Port for one night, and set off at dawn the next day. To Caofeidian, don’t spend the night on the way, that place is very evil!”

Like most people, when talking about mythological stories, the owner’s eyes are shining brightly, his tone is very firm, and his expression is very serious, as if these things are all witnessed and experienced by himself.

"Good guy, why didn't such a dangerous local alliance go to the watchtower?" Although Hong Tao didn't believe most of the content, he knew in his heart that there was a situation that the shop owner didn't brag about. That place was indeed washed away by hundreds of thousands of people. The zombies must have been washed away and buried.

"I can't live here. The weather is a little warmer. There are big mosquitoes all over the sky. There are leeches lying on the blades of grass. The wells are full of bitter water. If it catches up with God, it will rain a few more times. The water ran along the river ditch, if it is not kept clean, the road will collapse one day, who dares to live in it!"

"Master, master, the dumplings are ready, hurry up and eat them while they're hot!" Before the owner could finish speaking, there was a roar of a lion in front, and the proprietress appeared with her arms akimbo.But this time, he didn't stare at Hong Tao again, and even changed his address.

Not to mention that the proprietress is ugly, but she is beautiful inside, and the skill of making dumplings is nothing to say.The dumplings stuffed with chives, eggs and shrimp skin are very fresh, and the homemade fruit wine is not high in alcohol and very refreshing.The most important thing is that it is quick and easy. It is effortless to wrap and cook while rolling the skin.

After eating and drinking enough, Hong Tao and his party bid farewell to the couple and continued on the road. At this time, there was really rain in the sky. It was very thin but very cold. The heat dissipated, and everyone had to find out the raincoats and wrap them tightly from head to toe.

In the evening, the four of them found a half-collapsed factory building on the side of the road as a foothold, settled the horses, got some wood and lit the bonfire, and there was no need to set up a tent. They spread moisture-proof mats and wrapped sleeping bags under the carriage. Drilling is a night.

If the error of the odometer made by Benzhu is not too big, then the distance from Guomao Bridge to the BHX area in Jinmen is about 270 kilometers, and it took Hong Tao and his party two days to complete the walk at a leisurely pace.

Not long after the zombie disease broke out, Hong Tao brought people here to rescue a group of survivors who were trapped on the ship.At that time, it was a port area, and there were warehouses, freight yards, and cranes that could not be seen at a glance.It is now called an industrial zone, and it concentrates more than half of the manufacturing industry in the East Asian Union.

Revisiting the old place after nine years, facing the rows of factories, the sky full of smoke, the muddy roads, the rush of people and the traffic, it seems like a world away.

Compared with the safe zone near the capital, the population here should be larger, and the living conditions are quite different.The refugees in the safety zone are relatively stable and follow their routines step by step, while the people in the industrial zone are busier, more energetic, and less orderly.

After queuing at the railway crossing for more than half an hour, Hong Tao saw more than one theft incident, and the perpetrators were all seven or eight-year-old children.One of them didn't play well and was found by the victim to blow up the cat. Before they could escape into the residential area, they were caught up by the security team on horseback.

Those children were also tenacious enough, they didn't cry even if their heads were bleeding, they looked for a direction and ran away with their heads in their arms.If you run fast, you will be hit twice less, but if you run slowly, you deserve to be unlucky.As long as the stolen things are dropped, the vigilante will not seem to be chasing endlessly.

"Brother Shu, I can roughly see clearly. As long as you give the security team [-] cents, they will only check the documents and not the vehicle. Those who don't pay will not only check the vehicle and goods, but also search them. Anyone with a gun will be confiscated." .”

Not long after, the pony came back from a stroll huddled in his windbreaker.Taking advantage of the time spent queuing up to clear the customs, Hong Tao sent him to the front to scout for news and see if there were any loopholes to take advantage of.If you don't say that you must be diligent in your eyes, mouth, and legs when you go out, wouldn't that be rewarding?
