Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1432: Fighting in Troubled Times, Working in Prosperous Times

Big camphor tree base.

The first outer city is Wengcheng.

Song Min looked at the sky and it was gradually getting dark.

"Captain Xiao, the president is waiting for you in the inner city. Leave this to me."

The time is already 6:40, and it will be dark in a dozen minutes.

In Wengcheng, 3000 tons of oil still need to be counted before they can be put into storage.

"Okay." Xiao Jun nodded, turned around and found Pan Hai and Huang Zheng to assist in the counting.

Afterwards, he took Ma Yingxue and walked towards the inner city.

On the way to the inner city, Ma Yingxue saw that it was even taller than the outer city wall.

"How high is the inner city wall?"

"I don't know, but it looks like it should be more than 60 meters."

"Yeah." Ma Yingxue nodded.

Anyone entering the inner and outer cities from the barbican had to hand in their firearms, and Xiao Jun was no exception.

Before Xiao Jun entered the inner city, he handed over all his weapons, and Ma Yingxue did the same.

When we reached the inner city gate, we were searched.

Ma Yingxue is very much looking forward to the inner city of the large camphor tree base.

According to Xiao Jun's description, if the large camphor tree base is a paradise on earth, then the inner city is the most beautiful place in this paradise.

After checking them, the inner city guards opened the inner city gate.

Crunch——

The tightly closed city gate slowly opened, and the gap between the two gates could no longer block the afterglow of the setting sun.

Golden light shone on their faces from the inner city.

Somewhat glaring.

Ma Yingxue narrowed her eyes and adjusted to the light of the setting sun.

After two seconds, her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, and she just looked at the scene in front of her, her pupils slowly dilating.

I saw a neat main road in front of me, clean and tidy.

Street lights and roadside trees are lined up along the main road.

On the left are neat rows of greenhouses, and on the right is a wide farm full of pasture grass and surrounded by wooden fences. There are people driving cattle and sheep to indoor farms.

There is a bamboo forest at the edge, and further ahead is a garden with clusters of flowers.

Further in is a teaching building, and opposite the teaching building is a stadium.

There is an outdoor running track outside the stadium, and some people are jogging in the golden sunshine.

There are some children playing and fighting in the grass under the forest. The tender voices make people feel better after hearing them.

In the distance, two mountains stand
And everything in front of me is covered with a faint golden light of sunset.

It's like. It's like a dream.

So beautiful.

Ma Yingxue's eyes were slightly red. Everything in front of her was more beautiful than she had dreamed.

She suddenly remembered the story in Peach Blossom Spring: "The land is flat and spacious, the houses are neat, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. The roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs can hear each other."

Maybe that's how it feels.

Suddenly, she felt someone holding her hand.

Xiao Jun took her hand and walked straight inside.

Women are emotional, and even the strongest women will be moved by beautiful things.

Since her father's death, Ma Yingxue has learned to be strong on her own.

Although Tiger Lord adopted her as his adopted daughter, he did not raise her from childhood, so the relationship between them was not that deep.

She also knew that Tiger Master adopted her as his adopted daughter in order to take care of her. After all, Ma Yingxue's father and he were brothers.

Although Lord Tiger would take care of her, his care was very limited.

And Xiao Jun gave her strong support.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet our president. You should have seen him before, right?" Xiao Jun took her hand and walked inside.

"I think I've seen you before. The last time the president came to Oil City, I remember you were there."

Xiao Jun said two sentences in a row, but did not wait for Ma Yingxue's response.

Turning my head, I found that there were tears in the corners of Ma Yingxue's eyes.

"Xiaoxue, why are you crying?" Xiao Jun was confused and didn't know why Ma Yingxue was crying.

"Do you miss Tiger Master? It doesn't matter. The president and the city lord have invited Tiger Master before. We will send a helicopter to pick him up when the time comes."

"No, no, I'm just too excited." Ma Yingxue said with a sob.

"Uh" Xiao Jun was a little confused.

He had been to the inner city once before, but this time he didn't seem as excited.

Compared with the last time, there have indeed been changes in the inner city, but not that big.

Looking at the scenes in the inner city, my mood does become calmer, but it won’t make me cry.

Xiao Jun is a straight man, and his perception of beauty is not as strong as Ma Yingxue's.

And this was Ma Yingxue’s first time coming in, so her reaction would be bigger.

The two were walking on the main road when a square-faced man came from the opposite direction.

"Captain Lu~" Xiao Jun greeted Old Lu.

"Hey! Xiao Jun, is that your wife?" Old Lu came over from the opposite side, neatly dressed. He was going to work the night shift tonight.

Xiao Jun coughed twice and introduced Ma Yingxue to Lao Lu.

"Sure, that's good. The president is in the conference room now. I just came out from there. He is still there, probably waiting for you." Old Lu looked at Ma Yingxue, smiled and said to Xiao Jun.

There was a hint of scrutiny in the depths of his eyes. After all, this Ma Yingxue came from South Paradise, so she would be somewhat wary.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

On the road.

One after another, they met a few people who knew Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun repeated the same words as before and introduced Ma Yingxue to everyone.

Ma Yingxue's smile never stopped, and she said excitedly:
"They are so welcoming and friendly. I love it here."

Xiao Jun raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Let's go see the house we are assigned later."

Walk through the garden and enter the villa area. The meeting room is just opposite the villa area.

Xiao Jun and his companion walked to the door of the conference room, where three or four people were sitting, including his second uncle, Li Qingqing, his second uncle, and Ding Jiu.

Da da da--

Xiao Jun knocked on the door.

The four people in the conference room looked towards the door.

"Xiao Jun, I finally saw you. Come and sit down."

"President, Minister Liu, Chief Engineer Ding, Sister Li." Xiao Jun addressed everyone in the conference room one by one.

My second uncle Liu Jianwu is in charge of all the factories in the base and is the Minister of Industry.

Ding Jiu is the chief engineer in charge of the construction of the entire camphor tree base. Even the construction in Oil City and the northern border requires periodic remote communication and reporting with him.

As for Li Qingqing, as Li Yu's only aunt, she was a salesperson before the end of the world, working in real estate sales.

This profession is basically useless in the end times. There are a lot of houses and you can buy them for free.

After the apocalypse broke out, she had been working in the monitoring room, and later went to the cafeteria. When she got bored of the cafeteria, she ran to the factory in the outer city. But she still couldn't stay there.

Just let her help with odd jobs and errands, since she has a cheerful personality and is good at talking and jumping around.
Xiao Jun walked in with Ma Yingxue.

"Xiao Ma, we've met before." Second Uncle said with a smile when he saw Ma Yingxue next to Xiao Jun.

"Hello, President Li."

"Come, sit down, don't stand." Second uncle waved at the two with smiling eyes. Second uncle, Li Qingqing and Ding Jiu beside them looked at Ma Yingxue curiously.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at Ma Yingxue, the second uncle explained:
"This is the wife Xiao Jun found in South Paradise. Her name is Ma Yingxue. Hahahaha. You three should stop looking at her."

Ma Yingxue was a little nervous, because just by hearing their names she knew that these people in front of her were all important figures in the Dazhangshu Base.

"Welcome to join the big camphor tree base, haha." My second uncle said with a smile.

Li Qingqing stood up directly, took Ma Yingxue's hand in a natural and familiar manner, and said:

"I was wondering why the president asked me to prepare a romantic room. It turns out it was for you guys."

"Xiao Ma, your skin is so good. Xiao Jun is so lucky."

Ma Yingxue was somewhat flattered, "Sister Li, you are too kind."

Li Qingqing smiled and said:

"I'll take you to see that room later. I picked it out especially for you. It has one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. It's small but has everything. The most important thing is that the view is great. You know, you can see the garden from the window. Just imagine waking up every morning."

"When I woke up and saw all kinds of flowers blooming in the garden, I felt so happy."

"And let me tell you, your room is at the right height, right on the middle floor."

"By the way, how did you achieve such good skin? You can't even see the pores. I'm so envious of you for being able to maintain such good skin in this apocalypse."

"Qingqing, please stop for a moment. I have something important to tell them."

When the second uncle saw the fifth sister starting to mutter again, he frowned.

However, Li Qingqing seemed not to hear him at all, and continued to talk to Ma Yingxue:

"Oh, don't call me auntie, it's rude!"

"How old are you, 29?"

"I am ten years older than you, so call me sister. Sister, your skin is really good. Please teach me how to take care of my skin someday!"

"What? You don't have skin care? Is it natural?"

"Sister, let me tell you, it's not good for you to talk like that."

"Li Qingqing!" Uncle shouted loudly, calling her by her full name.

When Li Qingqing heard her second brother calling her like that, she stopped immediately.

But she didn't feel awkward at all, "Okay, sister, we'll talk slowly later."

Hearing Li Qingqing say this, Ma Yingxue felt a little scalp tingling. Just in that short while, Li Qingqing had made her feel dizzy. She was really talkative.

But she was too embarrassed to refuse, "Okay, Sister Li."

Seeing Li Qingqing stop, the second uncle said to Xiao Jun:

"You have been in Oil City for a long time and have made great contributions. Now that you are back, we were supposed to hold a promotion ceremony, but Ju Tianrui will be back in a few days, so let's just hold it together then. Let me tell you first."

Xiao Jun nodded quickly and said, "I understand, President, just do as you say."

"Ah."

The second uncle thought for a moment and continued, "You just came back, so I won't assign you any tasks for now. I'll give you a week off so you can have a good rest during this time."

Xiao Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this. When he was in the Oil City, he was basically busy from morning to night and hardly had any rest.

This time when he came back he was still worried about having new tasks and he didn't have time to accompany Ma Yingxue to visit the large camphor tree base. Now the president directly gave him a week.

"Thank you, President!" Xiao Jun couldn't hide his joy in his tone.

"Nothing else."

The second uncle looked at Li Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, take them to that house. They have never been there."

"Okay!" Li Qingqing winked at Ma Yingxue.

"President...then we'll leave first." Xiao Jun and his second uncle and others said goodbye.

"Go."

……

On the road.

Li Qingqing was extremely enthusiastic towards Ma Yingxue, asking her all kinds of questions, leaving Xiao Jun standing next to her in the cold.

But he was quite happy. In his opinion, people in the inner city liked Ma Yingxue, which could actually help Ma Yingxue integrate into the city more quickly.

He used to live in the outer city, so he was familiar with the big camphor tree base, but Ma Yingxue was different, after all, it was her first time here.

"Xiaoxue, what kind of job did you do before?"

"Athletes, track and field athletes."

"Where are you from? Your accent sounds a bit like that of Suzhou."

"Sister Li, you are so smart. You guessed it right at once." Ma Yingxue was a little surprised. She thought her accent was not heavy.

"Hey, I used to work and sell houses in Gusu, so I can tell. People from our Gan Province fought in troubled times and worked in prosperous times. Before the end of the world, it was convenient to work anywhere."

After hearing this, Ma Yingxue showed this expression in embarrassment:
('')
Ah... look at what you said.

She didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Xiao Jun next to her.

→_→

Xiao Jun didn't know how to answer, so he pretended not to see Ma Yingxue's expression.

However, Li Qingqing didn't care that Ma Yingxue didn't respond.

"I'll show you the residence later, and then we'll go to the cafeteria together later."

"No~"

Li Qingqing pointed to a building in the east and said:
“那个就是食堂了，早餐供应8：00~9：00，午餐供应12：00~13：30。晚餐供应17：30~19：00。”

"If you exceed this time, there will be no more. You must remember this."

"Okay, thank you Sister Li for the reminder." Ma Yingxue quickly thanked.

Soon, they arrived at several buildings in the inner city residential area.

Li Qingqing pointed to the easternmost building and said, "You are right over there, on the third floor, on the far right. The view is very nice."

Ma Yingxue nodded vigorously and followed Li Qingqing in that direction.

Along the way, I met several people from the inner city, and naturally introduced them to each other again.

They came to the rightmost position on the third floor, house number, 331.

Li Qingqing fumbled around her body, took out a bunch of keys from her pocket, and then found the key to 331, there were four keys in total.

Li Qingqing handed two of the keys to Ma Yingxue and Xiao Jun, and said:
"Each of you has a key, open the door and take a look."

Ma Yingxue and Xiao Jun took it. Xiao Jun looked at Ma Yingxue with a smile, "You open it."

Ma Yingxue inserted the key into the keyhole with excitement.

blah-

She turned the handle gently and slowly pushed the door open.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a bunch of blue dried flowers inside.

The whole room is decorated in white, which looks simple and neat.

The room is not big, but it is very warm and cozy. It is fully equipped with quilts, mattresses, tables, chairs and wardrobes.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Li Qingqing asked with a smile.

"I like it, thank you Sister Li." Ma Yingxue looked excited with a smile on her face.

This is her and Xiao Jun’s little home, their little home in the big camphor tree base.

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

"Haha, as long as you like it, you can take a look inside and tell me if you need anything. I'll wait for you downstairs." Li Qingqing waved her hand and walked downstairs.

After Li Qingqing left, Ma Yingxue hugged Xiao Jun and looked at the bouquet of dried flowers. "They are so thoughtful. They even have dried flowers."

There is no woman who doesn't like flowers, even someone like Ma Yingxue who tends to be a strong woman is no exception.

"Go in and take a look quickly, don't keep Sister Li waiting for too long." Xiao Jun touched Ma Yingxue's head and said gently.

"Uh-huh."
