Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Big camphor tree base, buffer city.

rustling --

The mortar in the mixer rolls back and forth, and the sand, stone and cement are often fully mixed in the mixer, and then poured through the delivery pipe onto the installed formwork.

The formwork is filled with tied steel bars horizontally and vertically, and the sticky concrete is poured on the steel bars to fill the gaps.

Some partners use mixers to vibrate the concrete to ensure that the concrete can fill all the gaps in the formwork.

Crunch!

After Le Ziqing and his group entered the buffer city of the Dazhangshu base, they stopped in the right area.

In the current buffer city, various construction materials are piled up like mountains, like small hills.

slam-la-

They dumped the sand from the trucks onto the ground, and car after car drove in and dumped the sand out.

Here each type of building material is classified and piled in different locations.

But even so, due to the vehicles loaded with materials driving back and forth, some sand and stones were shaken out, and the construction site still looked a bit messy.
Less than a hundred meters away from here, there is a cement factory that was built not long ago.

In the warehouse of the cement factory, there are piles of cement more than ten meters high, layer upon layer, which looks extremely spectacular.

These cements have just been produced and need to be stored for a while.

The cement just produced is hot and cannot be put into use immediately, otherwise it will affect the growth strength of the cement.

The cement that has just been bagged out of the oven has a relatively high temperature when it is delivered. It is hot to the touch and cannot be used to make concrete immediately.

Because the performance of various ingredients in hot cement is not yet fully stable, the stability of the cement is unqualified. Only when the cement fully releases its heat can a stable effect be achieved.

But it cannot be left for too long. If the cement is left for more than two months, its strength will decrease.

Fu Sheng in the base especially emphasized this point to the construction workers on the site.

After unloading the sand, Le Ziqing looked at the time and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

It was too late to transport it again, so he said to Shi Jingsheng behind him:

"Jingsheng, ask the brothers to drive the electric truck to the charging point to charge it. I'll go find someone."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jingsheng looked around and came over to ask in a low voice:

"Brother Le, are you going to find that inner city staff member Lai Dongsheng to report the matter of Zhang Shunzi?"

"Well, this bastard is affecting our ability to earn points. We must sue him." Le Ziqing's face was gloomy.

"Hey, I'll wait for your good news."

After getting Le Ziqing's accurate answer, Shi Jingsheng had already imagined the scene of Zhang Shunzi being humiliated.

Le Ziqing glanced at Shi Jingsheng and said unhappily:
"Drive away quickly, there are other convoys coming from behind."

Lai Dongsheng has a special status in the big camphor tree base. Although he is just a middle-aged man with low knowledge and culture, he has a very good relationship with Li Yu's family before the end of the world.

After the apocalypse broke out, he did not have a fixed position in the inner city. He just went wherever someone was needed to help.

After the construction work in the inner city was basically completed, he couldn't sit still and took the initiative to apply to help in the buffer city.

He was in charge of the vehicle entry and exit registration. When he just passed the weighing scale, Le Ziqing had already greeted him.

But at that time there were other teams queuing up behind.

He was also in the car, anxious to transport the raw materials to the storage area, so he did not get off the car to report Zhang Shunzi's matter to Lai Dongsheng.

Returning to the buffer city, less than fifty meters away from the entrance, there was a pavilion with several tables inside, where four or five people sat.

Opposite the pavilion, there is a weighing scale. Every transport truck entering the buffer city must pass here and weigh the weight of the materials on the truck.

Based on this weight, they calculate the contribution points for the partners who transport the materials in proportion.

These cooperating personnel can then exchange these contribution points for food and other supplies.

Le Ziqing walked to the weighing scale. There was no convoy entering at that time, and Lai Dongsheng and Yu Lei and several non-staff members were chatting.

He dusted himself off and walked straight towards the pavilion.

Yu Lei saw Le Ziqing coming over under the pavilion and said with a smile:

"Hey! Lao Le, today's transportation mission is over. You guys have a good transportation volume today. Have you found a new sand mining site?"

Le Ziqing walked to the shade of the pavilion. Without the scorching sun, he felt much cooler.

"It's still a bit risky. The river sand mined in Gongjiang is easy to mine, but there are always zombies that suddenly run out of the river, so it's not easy to work."

Hearing him say this, Yu Lei nodded slightly.

He could understand what Le Ziqing said, as he had done the same thing in the past.

Generally speaking, sand is usually collected from rivers, mountains and oceans.

There are many types of sand, including river sand, mountain sand, sea sand or natural sand, which is a natural mineral resource.

In recent years, due to the extensive use of construction and foundation engineering in the Dazhangshu base, coupled with the impact of heavy rains and floods, the mountain sand near the Dazhangshu base has become increasingly difficult to mine.

River sand is relatively easy to mine, but it has a very big disadvantage, which is that zombies like water. When mining river sand, you will always encounter some zombies running out of the water.

It's easy to get caught if you're not careful.

Lai Dongsheng, who was sitting in the middle, nodded to Le Ziqing and said, "Be careful. The probability of mutant zombies appearing is much higher now than before."

"Yeah. Thanks for the reminder, Brother Lai."

"Brother Lai, I have an electric truck that has a problem. Can you help me take a look at it when you have time?"

Le Ziqing saw so many people here, including a few non-staff members.

I thought of an excuse and took Lai Dongsheng aside to talk.

This kind of snitching must not be done in front of everyone.

If these non-staff members heard it, and if some of them were on good terms with Zhang Shunzi and the news got to Zhang Shunzi's ears, Zhang Shunzi would definitely cause trouble for him.

After all, he is a person from outside the city. Although he does not directly supervise me, he can still make things difficult for me if he thinks of ways.

Therefore, it would be best to discuss this matter with Lai Dongsheng in private.

Lai Dongsheng was surprised when he heard this and said, "If you have any problems, go to the repair factory outside the city. They are professional. I don't know how to repair trucks. These electric cars are different from fuel cars. I can't fix it."

Lai Dongsheng has worked in many jobs before, and was also a car mechanic for a period of time.

But the technique isn't very good.

Lai Dongsheng's answer was already within Le Ziqing's prediction, and he quickly said:
"You are being modest. I have seen your skills with my own eyes. The day before yesterday, when the truck was weighed, you found the problem and fixed it in no time."

"The factory is still waiting for maintenance, and I have to go out to transport sand tomorrow. I can't wait that long. Please help me take a look. It's not a big problem. It's just that there is always a strange noise when driving."

"Please help me. There is no car coming here for the time being, and Brother Yu and the others are here."

Lai Dongsheng is quite popular in the base, which is related to his down-to-earth and helpful personality.

Hearing Le Ziqing say this, he felt that it made sense.

It only took a short walk. "Okay, don't blame me if you can't fix it. If you can't fix it, go find a repair shop."

"Thank you, Brother Lai."

Lai Dongsheng explained something to Yu Lei and the others, looked at the registration data on the form, wrote it down, and followed Le Ziqing.

This data cannot be messed with, the points of those cooperative personnel are based on this data.

Although he has a bad temper, he is also very careful in doing things.

He has always been more careful about what he should pay attention to.

Yu Lei is an old man at the Dazhangshu base. He had broken a leg before, otherwise he would have been promoted to an outer city staff member long ago.

Let him watch here, nothing should go wrong.

After leaving the pavilion, Le Ziqing took Lai Dongsheng to a ruined wall in the west.

The buffer city is very large, and many places have not yet been built.

Within the buffer city, there are still some houses built before the end of the world, but some of these houses have collapsed, leaving only ruins.

"Xiao Le, isn't this where the electric trucks are charged? Why did you bring me here?"

They were next to a broken wall, about fifty meters away from the buffer city wall. There was a big tree next to the broken wall. Although the weeds on the ground had been cleared a few days ago, some had grown again in the past two days.

The cicadas are chirping and the air is hot and humid, which makes people easily feel irritable.

Le Ziqing looked around and when he found that there was no one there, a miserable look appeared on his face.

"Brother Lai, I need your help with something."

"Help me, where's your car? How can I help you fix it if you don't pull the truck out?"

"The truck is not broken. I just want to talk to you about something else."

"Are you kidding me? I'm busy." With that, Lai Dongsheng headed back.

No matter how good his temper is, he cannot accept being deceived by others.

"Brother Lai, please wait a minute. I also have my own difficulties. It was difficult to explain to you just now because there were so many people around. This matter is of great importance, and I feel I must tell you." Le Ziqing grabbed Lai Dongsheng and pleaded.

"Oh?"

When Lai Dongsheng heard him say that the matter was of great importance, he stopped and slowly turned his head to look at him.

"What's going on? Have we discovered a new type of mutant zombie?"

He also heard about what happened in the cave a few days ago.

It was also discovered by Sergeant Luo and his colleagues, who were collaborators with Le Ziqing.

"No."

Le Ziqing used the words he had organized on the way here to tell Lai Dongsheng how Zhang Shunzi used his power to block the road.

"Moreover, when we used our points to exchange for food, Jia Tan also asked us for favors, otherwise he would withhold our food."

"We have risked our lives to accumulate this food bit by bit, but we really have no choice but to give them benefits and help them find what they want."

Le Ziqing became angrier and angrier as he spoke. "This isn't just my problem. You can ask Sergeant Luo and Zhang Bo and the others. They all have the same grievances as I do."

"Many of our partners are a little dissatisfied now. I think if this continues, big problems will arise sooner or later."

"So I ask you to report this matter to the city lord. The city lord is wise, and he will definitely not sit idly by."

Lai Dongsheng listened carefully to what he said, his face full of disbelief.

"There is actually such a thing. They are so brave!"

"I remember Jia Tan, he used to follow He Chao. How could He Chao be so confused? I know him well, he probably doesn't know."

Le Ziqing said quickly: "Yes, not only Jia Tan, but also Zhang Shunzi used to follow He Chao."

Lai Dongsheng thought for a while. He knew that the city lord had always valued He Chao, otherwise he would not have handed the outer city into his hands.

He Chao has always been loyal to the city lord.

Lai Dongsheng was actually a little conflicted. He was worried that He Chao would know about this and condone Jia Tan and Zhang Shunzi.

If that's the case, He Chao will be in trouble.

And the city lord will definitely be disappointed and sad.

After all, he trusted He Chao so much, but He Chao
But now, after listening to what Le Ziqing said, he was also extremely indignant.

How dare he abuse his power for personal gain? How bold!
He just couldn't understand it.

As a staff member from outside the city, I should have all the benefits I deserve, and I don't have to worry about food at all. Although the welfare benefits are worse than those of the staff members in the inner city, compared with non-staff members and cooperative staff, there is a world of difference.

His eyes moved, and at this moment Lai Dongsheng thought a lot.

If I tell the city lord, will he handle the matter?
Probably so?

In the past one or two years, the city lord has rarely directly managed the specific affairs of the large camphor tree base.

Even in recent months, he has rarely appeared in the outer city.

However, Lai Dongsheng joined when the big camphor tree was just established, and even watched Li Yu grow up since he was a child.

He knew Li Yu very well. The city lord was a man who could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.

I'm afraid that if this matter is reported, it may cause a stir in the Dazhangshu base.

From the top down, a large-scale sweep may be disliked.

Thinking about it carefully, he felt a little chilly.

Although he is not educated, he understands one thing.

When you spot a cockroach in the sun, there are too many in the shade.

It is very likely that Zhang Shunzi is just one of them, and there are many people he doesn't know about who are corrupt and infringing on the overall interests of the Dazhangshu base.

These people are like termites, constantly gnawing at the roots of the camphor tree base.

As Lai Dongsheng thought about it, his eyes gradually became firm.

We must never allow these termites to harm the interests of the large camphor tree base.

So he looked at Le Ziqing, who had a sad face, and said solemnly:

"Le Ziqing, I know about this matter. I will report it to the city lord in person. Don't worry, according to my understanding, I will make the decision for you!"

His eyes were determined, he had watched the camphor tree base being built, and he had deep feelings for this place, and he would not allow anyone to destroy it.

Seeing Lai Dongsheng's attitude, Le Ziqing immediately thanked him excitedly:
"Brother Lai, I know you have the strongest sense of justice. Thank you on behalf of all the brothers!"

"Okay, okay, stop flattering me. Don't worry, now that I know about this, I will definitely report it."

"Let's go. I can't leave the weighbridge for too long."

Lai Dongsheng glanced at Le Ziqing behind him, then walked towards the weighing station.

Le Ziqing followed behind, feeling a little excited.

His eyes were full of anticipation. He had long been annoyed with Jia Tan, and today he met this Zhang Shunzi who was also a piece of shit.

Damn, I hope the city lord can investigate this carefully.

But he was afraid that even the city lord would protect these people and not punish them.

If that happens, it will be very hurtful to the majority of our partners.

All the fairness and justice that were once talked about will become a joke.

The sun sets and returns to the mountains.

All the cooperative personnel who were carrying out mining and transportation tasks nearby returned to the buffer city.

Some other partners who went to carry out missions a little further away and could not return to the Dazhangshu base on the same day stayed temporarily in the five satellite cities.

With the factory at the Dazhangshu base running at full capacity these days, the ultraviolet lamps produced are being distributed every day.

Moreover, there are more and more skilled workers producing ultraviolet lamps, and the daily production volume has reached nearly eight times compared to the initial period.

After these ultraviolet lamps are distributed, there will be enough for the partners to take out and use in satellite cities.

However, due to the large area of ​​the buffer city, the wall has not been fully covered to date.

All the cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel have been evacuated from the inner and outer cities, and they are now basically living in the buffer city.

They gathered in one place and used ultraviolet lights to form a protective circle around them, so they didn't have to worry about the appearance of wall-climbing zombies at night.

As for other ordinary zombies, they cannot enter the buffer city at all unless it rains, and they are blocked by the walls of the buffer city.

at dusk.

After returning to the inner city, Wang Cheng found Ding Jiu in the cafeteria and told him roughly what he saw when repairing the road today.

Ding Jiu didn't think too much about it. After all, Zhang Shunzi was just complaining a few words and it was harmless.

"Engineer Ding, it's not just Zhang Shunzi who's complaining. I also heard Yan Chan complaining as well."

"Yan Chan? Which one is that?" Ding Jiu felt a little unfamiliar with the name.

After all, there are so many people in the base, and there are now about two thousand people from the inner and outer cities.

He doesn't remember everyone's name.

"It's the outer city staff who was recently responsible for transporting ultraviolet lamps to the five satellite cities. He used to follow He Chao." Wang Cheng replied.

"He Chao?" Ding Jiu glanced at Wang Cheng after hearing the name.

"Do you suspect He Chao of rebellion?"

"You said he might have a problem, but I absolutely don't believe it. He has no motive at all. Besides, his daughter is in the inner city. How dare he do anything wrong?!"

Wang Cheng quickly shook his head and said, "No."

"Engineer Ding, I didn't say that there was something wrong with Director He. I just felt something was amiss. Recently, Zhang Shunzi and this Yan Chan both complained to me about the base."

"I was wondering if I should remind the president and check it out?"

Ding Jiu looked around. The two of them were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, and the nearest person to them was about seven or eight meters away.

"Let's talk about it later. You think too much. Let's not mention this matter again." Ding Jiu said in a low voice.

"Oh, okay." Wang Cheng saw that Ding Gong didn't seem to care much, so he didn't say anything more.

Ding Jiu was eating and fell into deep thought.

Was this an accident, or was there something else going on?
