Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1449 "That's impossible, I believe in Oil City!" (5000 words)
The night wind blew, blowing the curtains at the back into a frenzy.

Li Yu stood up and closed the window.
Sit down slowly.

"But."

Li Yu was a little skeptical. "But even if we use the task hall and the points system to let many partners and non-staff help collect information, the authenticity cannot be guaranteed."

Uncle San smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"This is simple. We can just send someone to verify it. There is no need to set up an intelligence department, which is too complicated. In addition, we can also make full use of the flow of people in the trading market to obtain information from them."

"The functions and attributes of the intelligence department can actually be attached to the patrol team. I think it would be more appropriate to wait until the base's strength is further developed before setting up a systematic and complete intelligence department."

"Yeah." Li Yu understood what his uncle meant.

In fact, Uncle San is not saying that we should not set up an intelligence department, but that we should not spend too much manpower and material resources to concentrate on this matter.

Infiltration and understanding of surrounding forces can be achieved through other means.

"Uncle San, I plan to hold a meeting in the inner city after returning to the headquarters base this time."

"It's not just the military rank division, but also the internal management, and even transportation and so on. I feel that it's too chaotic now. Many times the ranks are not clear, the division of responsibilities is not clear, and there is not even a supervisory department."

Uncle San looked at the silver curtains on the window and twisted his neck, making a clicking sound.

"You should talk to your second uncle about this matter. I don't know much about this either. Anyway, I have only one suggestion: don't be too eager for quick success. You can't get rich overnight."

If the pace of institutional reform is too fast, it will easily lead to failure. It must be done step by step.

"I understand. I will talk to the administrative management expert Huang Yuanxi in the evening." Li Yu nodded and said.

"Okay, let's go downstairs and eat something. Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat, you will be very hungry. Let's go, let's go." Uncle San got up from the stool and walked towards the door.

I was really amused by this proverb of Uncle San.

He stood up and said with a smile:

"Uncle San, could it be that Gangzi and Tiezi got their names from this sentence?"

Uncle San paused for a moment and replied awkwardly:

"of course not."

"Have you ever read the book How the Steel Was Tempered?"

"I have seen it, so it comes from this book title?"

"That's it."

Li Yu curled his lips and said, "It's really random. My dad is the same. He also randomly names people. Xiaohang, Xiaoyuan and I together make an astronaut."

"But why is my dad's third child a girl?"

Uncle San walked out the door, "Homophone."

"Oh."

Li Yu was convinced.

Their family has been naming people casually since ancient times.

Four brothers, great future.

By Li Yu’s generation, they were astronauts and steel.

The names given by my second uncle are somewhat decent, Li Haoran and Li Haoxian.

Li Yu closed the door, took out the key and followed his uncle downstairs.

"Are you going back tomorrow? Or are you going to stay here for two more days?" Uncle San asked as he walked side by side with Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded: "Go back, the inner city conference will definitely be held at the headquarters base, and you can participate online at that time."

"it is good."

As soon as the two of them went downstairs, they met Li Tie at the entrance of the stairs.

"Dad, big brother." Li Tie shouted after seeing the two of them.

He walked a few steps closer to Li Yu, "Brother, should we go back to the headquarters base tomorrow?"

Li Yu looked at him strangely, "Why do you say that? Both of you asked me this question."

Li Tie was a little surprised. Didn’t his father just ask the same question?

Seeing that Li Tie didn't answer him, Li Yu didn't bother to find out why and replied:
"Just proceed according to the normal plan."

Li Tie coughed twice and said, "Brother, the main reason is that you locked yourself in the room as soon as you came back. I thought..."

"It's okay, let's go eat."

While eating, the two chatted about how to solve the problem of transport convoys being too long and causing the front and rear to be unable to take care of each other.

After all, Oil City will soon be transporting oil to the headquarters base, and it will also need to pass through that road.

To address this problem, they discussed how to enhance the mobility of the fleet.

But the road is so wide that driving side by side can easily cause a jam.

Finally, we decided to use a motorcycle.

Motorcycles are maneuverable and easy to turn around, so if there is an attack from the front or the back, they can arrive immediately.

30 motorcycles should be enough to take care of the entire fleet.

When the group was heading to the cafeteria, Xie Changshan was leading people to install electrical wires in the corridor of the ancient tomb bunker leading to the trading market in the Oil City. The corridor was dozens of meters long, so it had to be electrified first, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go in and out with a flashlight in hand.

This ancient tomb bunker is quite large, covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres. One side is used as indoor planting area, and the other half is used to store zombie generators.

There is also a very small area where some pottery coffins and other items excavated from the tomb are placed together.

Although it is of no use now in the end times, it is a pity to lose the cultural relics that are thousands of years old.

"This place has been leveled. If it doesn't work, just pour cement to cover it." Xie Changshan said as he stood in the ancient tomb bunker, looking at a depression on the ground.

"Okay, Vice President Xie."

A drop of water fell from above his head and landed on Li Changshan's forehead.

The water was a little cold and he shivered.

He reached out and touched his forehead, then raised his head to look at the top of his head.

He frowned and whispered, "It looks like we need to do some waterproofing here."

If this ancient tomb bunker is not opened, it is well sealed and no moisture can come in. However, after the corridor was opened these days, moisture from outside has come in.

Plus, the temperature underground is about ten degrees lower than on the ground.

The water vapor naturally cools and forms water.

The utility room east of Oil City.

Master Yang looked at the two bodies covered with cloth on the ground, his eyes full of pain.

"Ugh"

This was the first time he led a team alone to carry out such a long-distance mission, and it was the first time that such casualties occurred.

It really made him feel uncomfortable, and based on this attack, he was thinking about how to deal with it if a similar situation happened again next time.

In other words, how should the loopholes in the current fleet security be adjusted?

north.

Xie Weishan sat on a raised parapet opposite the City Lord's Mansion, enjoying the evening breeze.

"Thank you, Captain. I estimate that the greenhouse will be fully built in half a month."

"Well, why do you want to return to the headquarters base after the greenhouse is completed?" Old Xie held down his two strands of hair to prevent them from being blown by the wind.

Xie Weishan shook his head and said, "How is that possible? The greenhouse has been built, but the underground tunnel has not been opened yet. Besides, without a transfer order from headquarters, it feels inappropriate to apply for it myself."

"What do you want to say?" Old Xie asked puzzledly.

"Um"

Xie Weishan hesitated for a few seconds and then said:
"Aren't you worried about the Northwestern forces? If they really come to the North, we may not be able to resist them now."

Old Xie shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:

"Come on, if you can't do it, just run. Didn't the minister tell us before he left that we shouldn't confront them head-on? You have to hurry up with the underground tunnel replacement project. The sooner you can get it through, the better."

"But there are only so many people, and I have to send people to build greenhouses. Manpower is limited." Xie Weishan said helplessly.

"Anyway, your speed is not good enough. You have to focus on opening up the corridor first, and then building the greenhouse."

"Okay, I'll apply to the headquarters base." Xie Weishan said after thinking about it.

"Um"

The gentle evening breeze blows away the heat of the day, giving people a comfortable and relaxing feeling.

In the north, the defense has become much weaker since the minister and the city lord took their men away.

Ultraviolet lights were flickering in the distance. Now there was no need to worry about electricity problems. The North had already built a zombie generator and captured a certain number of zombies to generate electricity.

There is no need to use diesel or coal to generate electricity as before.

The inner city seemed a bit empty with only them around.

But the street lights in the North were all on and brightly lit.

The electricity generated here is simply not enough to be used up, and the battery is fully charged, so it would be a waste if it is not used. The next day.

Dongtai and others, who had been prepared, got on the helicopter with their luggage.

It has been too long since I returned to the headquarters base.

Many people applied to return to the headquarters base, but helicopters alone could not transport so many people.

So Zhou Tian and Huang Zheng were asked to bring more oil back to the base when they returned to the headquarters.

In addition, Yang Zhongshi and others had already arrived. After unloading the grain on their trucks, they also had to fill them with oil.

After all, with more than a hundred vehicles, it is impossible for them to only deliver food and supplies and return without taking anything else.

Master Yang and Zhou Tian will stay in the oil city for one more day before heading back to the headquarters base from land.

Ju Tianrui, Dongtai and others took a helicopter and followed Li Yu back to the headquarters base.

Following Song Qi along the way, I have really broadened my horizons these past few days.

He had never left the vicinity of the camphor tree base, and what he saw and heard this time made him feel very exciting.

Li Qi and Song Qi will rotate the personnel stationed at the Wu City military base this time.

This time when Li Yu returned to the headquarters base, he sent them over when he passed by the Wu City Military Base to replace Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu and the team they led.

Zuo Ruxue and his companions had been stuck in the military base for several months, being extremely bored, and summed up their experiences and lessons.

When Song Qi and Li Qi set out from the base this time, they went to the library to borrow dozens of books. They also used the computers given to them by the base to download hundreds of movies and various games from the base data disk.

It is to cope with the boring days stationed at the Wu City military base.

As a transit station, the gate must be kept closed at all times for the sake of concealment.

Wait until the convoy transporting goods to and from Oil City or the Big Camphor Tree Base arrives, and then open it again.

After all, there are not many people left here, so it’s better to keep a low profile if possible.

When the base becomes stronger in the future, we can also establish a new branch base based on this military base.

Li Yu stood under the helicopter and waved to his uncle and others.

Turned and entered the helicopter.

A few minutes later.

The helicopter took off and flew south.

Uncle San, who was on the ground in the inner city, watched the helicopter disappear into the sky.

"Residence"

He habitually wanted to call Ju Tianrui, but just after saying one word, he realized that Ju Tianrui had already boarded the helicopter and was now returning to the headquarters base.

"Lao Luo."

"Come with me to the trading market later to see the effect of the points redemption system in the commercial district."

"Okay, Minister."

Ten minutes later, they drove out of the oil city in an off-road pickup truck.

The commercial district is oriented east-west.

The east side faces the main entrance of the trading market.

In a building on the easternmost side of the business district is a gas station operated by the Oil City government.

Survivors can buy various fuels here.

It has been more than five years since the apocalypse, and fuel has become increasingly scarce. It is a rare commodity in the apocalypse, and few people can afford it.

Crunch!

Lao Qin stepped on the brakes and stopped the car at the easternmost intersection of the commercial district.

Uncle San got out of the car, and Lao Luo and others quickly followed.

Just at this moment, two cars in front stopped on the side, apparently needing to refuel.

However, the two cars didn't even have doors and looked extremely shabby.

Survivors cannot drive inside the commercial area, but they can drive outside the commercial area.

This gas station is located right at the edge, making it convenient for the survivors to drive here to refuel.

It's on the side and doesn't require entering the commercial area, so it doesn't count as a violation of regulations.

"The minister is here, hello!" Shen Xiaoxiao, who was holding the gas pump, shouted loudly when he saw his uncle.

Uncle Lan from the gas station also ran out.

"Hello, Minister!"

After hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's call, Xie Dongming, who was standing next to the shabby pickup truck, immediately turned around and met the most powerful person in Oil City.

"Minister Li! You're here." Xie Dongming had met his third uncle when he first came to the trading market, so he recognized him.

Although I saw it later, it was always from a distance in the crowd and I never had such close contact with it.

Uncle San smiled and waved to Shen Xiaoxiao and others.

I took a look at Xie Dongming who was refueling and felt that he looked familiar.

"What do you use to refuel here?" asked Uncle San.

Xie Dongming turned his head and glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao, and replied nervously:
"You can earn points. Five points can buy you 5 liters of gasoline."

Uncle San continued to ask: "Is it convenient to use? How does it feel?"

When Xie Dongming heard his uncle's question, he knew why his uncle came.

The research visit is here!

"It's convenient, very convenient. In the past, when we wanted to sell smoked chicken and food, we often had to bargain with people and wait for a long time before we could sell the goods."

"Now we can go directly to the official exchange center and exchange for points. We can use the points to buy anything we want in the trading market. We don't have to carry large bags of supplies to exchange with others like before. It's very convenient! And safe!"

When he heard the word smoked chicken, Uncle San immediately remembered who he was.

The first team to come to the trading market to trade was called the Explorers.

Uncle San said with a smile:
"Aren't you worried about the points you exchanged for having problems?"

Xie Dongming shook his head and said:
"That's impossible. We believe that a force as big as Oil City would never do such a thing. If it did, the credibility of the entire trading market would be lost."

"We all like this point redemption system. We can keep the points here. It's quite troublesome to carry the materials we redeemed back and forth every time like before."

"And it's very troublesome to carry it with you after leaving the market."

He talked about a lot of benefits of the points redemption system, which made Uncle San stop and look quite happy.

It seems that Oil City still has credibility in the minds of many survivors.

The reason why points, an invisible and intangible thing, can serve as a medium of transaction is all due to the trust endorsement of Oil City.

"So do you think there are any flaws in this points system?" Uncle San asked.

"Forehead"

After thinking for a while, Xie Dongming said:
"We are fine. We have great trust in Oil City, so we are not worried about points being randomly deducted."

"But some people I met in the trading market are worried that when they redeem their points, more points will be maliciously deducted. They are also afraid if the accounts don't match."

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was conveyed.

The gasoline was just ready at this time, and Uncle Lan ran in to operate the terminal and printed out a note.

It states the time and date, as well as the points deducted this time and the remaining points.

"Ten points will be deducted for this refueling. You have added 20 liters of gasoline, so you have 345 points left. Please keep the receipt." Uncle Lan handed the receipt to Xie Dongming.

Xie Dongming took a look and thought there was no problem and said, "Thank you."

Uncle San looked at the note and asked, "I'll give you this receipt on the spot. If there's any problem, can't we point it out on the spot?"

Xie Dongming coughed and said, "They don't believe it. They're afraid that you won't recognize the bill when the time comes."

"But I rarely meet people like this."

"Um"

Uncle San nodded thoughtfully. The reason he was worried was essentially because he didn’t have enough trust.

All they can do is manage and control the points backend and make sure there are no problems.

This question is like before the end of the world, if a person is struggling over whether to deposit money in a bank, he is worried that if he deposits the money in the bank, the bank will deduct his money and transfer it to other places for use.

This kind of thing actually happened before the end of the world, but it was only a few rare cases.

For example, if this happens once in a trading market, it will cause a devastating blow to the credibility of the trading market.

What we can do is to have strict review and supervision to prevent those who manipulate the points deduction from being able to tamper with them.

Uncle San remembered what Li Yu said to him yesterday. It seems necessary to rely on systems to manage people and establish a strict supervision mechanism.

Afterwards, Uncle San chatted with Shen Xiaoxiao and several gas station staff for a while, and then went into the industry area of ​​the trading market to investigate the situation of other businesses.
