Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1536 The truth is sad
Trading bazaar, clinic lobby.

Pay counter.

The nurse looked at Hong Lele and Liu Sheng and said:

"Hong Fu's treatment is free, so there is no need to deduct your points."

She glanced in the direction of the operating room and continued:

"The operation will probably take some time. Please go over there and sit down and wait patiently."

Hong Lele and Liu Sheng were originally worried that they could not afford the medical expenses, but now they don’t have to pay a single point, and they feel relieved.

But soon their hearts began to lift again, and they looked towards the operating room with worry in their eyes.

The operation must be successful!
Mr. Liu looked at Ni Guangkuo and the nurse and said, "Thank you. If you don't waive the medical expenses, we really don't know what to do."

Hong Lele also thanked, "Thank you."

Ni Guangkuo sighed, "The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Your name is Mr. Liu, right? You will go to the construction site later. The investigators there want you to come over and cooperate with the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng looked at Hong Lele. Hong Lele naturally understood that Uncle Liu was worried about her and wanted to stay with her.

Now that she was investigating the cause of her father's accident, she naturally hoped to find out.

So he said to Liu Sheng: "Uncle Liu, you go, I can do it alone."

Liu Sheng hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said:

"Okay then. I'll be back after I finish cooperating with the investigation."

"it is good."

Mr. Liu then hurried out of the medical clinic.

Seeing that there was nothing more to watch here, Meng Zhi returned to Xie Dongming and the others.

He told the two people what he had just seen and heard.

After listening to this, Xie Dongming said with a sigh:

"It's better for them to have a stable job, it's not that dangerous"

Meng Zhi also felt a little emotional, because although they could get relatively high points by going out to hunt wild animals, it was too dangerous.

Two team members have died in the past two months.

There is no chance of rescue at all. A bite from a zombie or zombie animal basically means death, let alone rescue.

Xie Dongming stared at the long corridor in a daze, thinking about something in his head. Perhaps they also had to consider how to transform.

The East District of the Trade Fair.

Residential living area.

Building 46, construction site.

All construction activities at the entire residential area were suspended, especially at Building 46, the scene of the accident, and all construction workers came down.

After Lao Luo learned that someone had fallen from a high altitude on the construction site, he immediately set up an investigation team and asked Xie Changshan, the general manager of the construction site, to cooperate.

The head of the investigation team was He Feng, who was at the construction site of Building 46 questioning witnesses who saw Hong Fu fall.

"You said that you two saw him fall?" He Feng asked the two men in front of him.

"Yes, we are working on a construction site in the building next door, and we just happened to be taking a break downstairs and having a cake." One of the men answered.

He Feng looked at the other person.

The other man quickly replied: "Yes, this is the cake we ate at that time. I had just eaten half of the cake when I saw Hong Fu fall down."

As he spoke, he took out the few remaining tortillas from his small bag.

The tortilla was covered in dust, but he didn't care.

"Did you see how he fell?" He Feng asked.

The man who spoke first answered:
"We were chatting and betting on which building would be completed sooner, Building 46 or Building 47, when we saw Hong Fu falling straight down."

The short man nodded and said:
"Yes, Gouzi and I both saw it. I guess Hong Fu may have fainted from heatstroke. The weather is too hot."

Heatstroke?

He Feng frowned when he heard this. Although it was September, the weather was still very hot.

As far as he knows, there is summer-heat-relief medicine prepared on the construction site every day for the workers to drink.

These heat-relieving medicines are made by boiling several Chinese herbs such as honeysuckle, patchouli, and mint. Drink one bowl of them every morning before going to work and another bowl at noon.

Logically speaking, it's not right to get heatstroke again.

"Okay, I got it. You guys go first." He Feng asked the two to leave.

Then he asked a few people who saw Hong Fu fall.

Tread-tap-

Xie Changshan, Ma Dong and others walked over from Building 46 where the accident occurred.

After the accident, the construction site had to be suspended in order to first find out the cause of the accident, make adjustments, and avoid its recurrence.

Xie Changshan, Ma Dong and others just went to the location of the accident and conducted a careful investigation.

Generally speaking, the main causes of falls from heights on construction sites include unsafe behavior, unsafe conditions of objects, inadequate management, and environmental factors.

Xie Changshan and his team went to conduct on-site inspections to determine whether the property was unsafe or the management was unsafe.

"How is it? Did you find any problem?" He Feng asked quickly when he saw the two people coming.

Xie Changshan shook his head and said, "The scaffolding is stable and not loose. The steel pipes, level gauges, and other building materials are all placed reasonably."

"In addition, we checked his safety rope and it was not broken and could be used normally."

He Feng frowned, "You mean, Hong Fu violated the rules by not wearing his seat belt?"

Xie Changshan nodded and said:

"This is the only possibility. There are construction site implementation standards on the construction site. Wearing a safety rope is the most important thing for aerial work. We require everyone to recite the implementation standard slogan loudly before going to work and recite it after leaving work. Supervisors will also supervise, but some workers do not wear safety ropes to save trouble."

“We have made repeated requests, but when the supervisors found out, they just gave the workers verbal criticism.”

He Feng suddenly raised his head and shouted to the workers in Building 46 behind him:
"Who is the person in charge of the construction site of Building 46?"

Zhang Shi trotted over and said, "Leader, it's me."

His forehead was covered with sweat and he felt a little nervous.

He should be held responsible for this kind of safety accident that occurred on the construction site he was in charge of.

"Has Hong Fu ever been caught without a seatbelt before?"

Zhang Shi heard this and hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Hong Fu is fine. He always wears his seat belt, but he seems a little bit off."

"What do you mean?" He Feng asked.

"He seems to only eat half a tortilla of the two tortillas we give him every day, which is very little. You know, working on a construction site is already very tiring, and if he doesn't eat something, he won't be able to withstand this kind of heavy physical work." Zhang Shi said in one breath.

He felt very unlucky. He had finally been promoted from an ordinary level 5 personnel to a level 4 personnel, and was promoted to a construction site supervisor. However, who would have expected that a safety accident would happen.

After hearing what Xie Changshan and Zhang Shi said, He Feng did not rush to make a judgment.

Instead, he turned to Mingsheng and asked, "Have you contacted Ni Guangkuo? Why hasn't Liu Sheng come yet?"

"I've already contacted him. How about I go to the clinic to find him?" Mingsheng replied.

Next to him, Zhang Shi saw a man jogging towards him. His eyes lit up and he pointed ahead and said:

"Mr. Liu is here." A strong man came running hurriedly and walked to the side of Li Changshan and Zhang Shi.

"Boss Xie, Supervisor Zhang."

Xie Changshan said, "Mr. Liu, cooperate with the investigators. Tell the truth to whatever they ask you."

"Okay." Liu Sheng looked at the people at Hefeng Mingsheng that Xie Changshan was pointing to with some nervousness.

He Feng looked at this seemingly honest worker and asked:
"It is said that when the accident happened, you were two meters away from Hongfu. Tell us what you saw and give us all the details."

Liu Sheng's eyes showed memories, and he said slowly:

"After lunch, we went to the construction site together as we did in the past. He handed me the shovel. I was building a wall at the time and didn't look at him. A few seconds later, I heard a scream and saw Lao Hong fall down."

"Didn't he wear a seat belt when he fell?" He Feng asked.

Liu Sheng scratched his head and said, "I didn't pay much attention. I didn't look carefully to see if he was wearing a seat belt. Oh, right."

Mr. Liu seemed to remember something. "He handed me the shovel at that time. It seemed that he didn't have a safety belt on his waist when he came over."

After hearing this, He Feng roughly understood.

Illegal operation.

"Are you living in the same house with Hong Fu?" He Feng asked.

"Yes, we live together."

"I heard that he only eats half or one tortilla a day at the construction site, right?"

When Liu Sheng heard him say this, he seemed to understand something about the situation.

"It's not easy for Lao Hong to raise his daughter alone. He treats his daughter very well, but he is very strict with himself. The construction site gives out two corn tortillas every day. He eats one or half of one, and gives the rest to his daughter. If his daughter can't finish it, she saves it."

"I told him several times, but he didn't listen. He said he had gotten through it before and it was nothing. Sigh."

"Especially recently, he only eats half a tortilla every day and gives the rest to his daughter, saying that his daughter needs to eat more as she is growing. But working on a construction site is tiring, and he eats so little and is so tired that sometimes he is a little dazed."

Sad.

He Feng and the others nearby felt somewhat sad when they heard him say this.

Xie Changshan was both angry and helpless. He had repeatedly emphasized that these workers must eat two tortillas every day, otherwise they would not be in the right state to work.

But some workers took the tortillas and did not eat them. Instead, they hid them and took them back to their families.

It is very sad because these workers also have their own unspeakable secrets. They endure hunger for the sake of their loved ones.

As the person in charge of the construction site, there was nothing he could do.

Increase the food supply for construction workers?
You know, the daily food supply for construction workers is now better than before.

The food rations for the construction workers at the trading market have increased, and so should the rations for the workers at the headquarters base.

Even if there is one more tortilla every day, with so many workers, the additional food pressure every day will be considerable.

What's more, he is just a construction site manager and he has no say in the matter.

Moreover, he had experienced hunger before, so if he were honest with himself, it was already pretty good to be given two tortillas a day and 0.5 points!

For some workers, especially those who have to support a family or even several people, this is definitely not enough.

However, no one can solve this problem.

The Dazhangshu Base does not do charity. Those who work get points, and those who don’t work get no points.

It has always been like this. If the Dazhangshu base does charity and distributes food to everyone, it will attract the support of a large number of survivors in the short term.

But it was beyond the capacity of the camphor tree base over time.

It will definitely collapse.

Xie Changshan could also see this clearly.

So he has no opinion on the current system and salary distribution.

the other side.

After hearing Liu Sheng's words, He Feng frowned.

As far as he knew, the salary at the construction site was not bad. Compared with other survivors, these people on the construction site should be considered to be doing well in the trading market.

but,

How could such a tight financial situation arise? So he asked:
“How many points do you earn a day, and how many tortillas do you give out?”

He was worried that someone would commit corruption and withhold the points that should have been awarded.

Mr. Liu raised his head and answered, "Two tortillas are issued every day, and 0.6 points are given. Both of us work at heights, so the points are 0.1 points more than other types of work."

He Feng was a little confused, as this wasn't corruption.

He had also eaten this kind of tortillas. Although the taste was average, each tortilla was very solid.

This tortilla is the size of an adult's palm. Although it weighs only a little over two taels, it has a very low water content.

This tortilla has more moisture than dry naan, but much less moisture than steamed bread.

This kind of corn tortilla can be cooked into half a pot of paste after being soaked in water. An average adult can eat almost a meal with one corn tortilla. If you have a bigger appetite, two pieces are enough.

Especially after eating, drinking some water will still give you a strong sense of fullness.

Hong Fu could earn more than four tortillas a day, which was enough to support him and his daughter.

He Feng was very confused and his whole face wrinkled.

Asked: "Why? Even if he wants to raise his daughter, two tortillas a day for him and his daughter is enough, right? Why does he do this?"

Liu Sheng did not answer him immediately.

Instead, he thought for a long time.

After a while, he replied:

"Maybe they are afraid of being hungry, used to being poor, and used to a hard life. Now that they have a better life, they don't dare to treat themselves well."

"I'm used to it."

"I can actually understand him. We used to be hungry a lot, and when we had some food, we didn't dare to finish it all, and we always had to be frugal and save some.

When things were tough, we only dared to eat half a piece of food, even if it was the size of a fingernail. We would leave the remaining half for when we were almost starving to death, as it would save our lives.”

“We are all very afraid of natural disasters. Every time a natural disaster strikes, we go hungry and we have seen many people starve to death.

So here, I basically ate the food distributed by the construction site, and rarely used the remaining points to buy things. I saved the remaining points.

It's the same with him, but he lives with two tortillas a day for two people, while I live with two tortillas a day for one person. I am alone and have no worries.

He is different. He has concerns and burdens, and he is also worried that he will have nothing to eat if a natural disaster strikes, so he has to save up points. So now that his life is better, he doesn’t want to mistreat his daughter, so he can only mistreat himself. "

Xie Changshan, as well as investigators from Hefeng, Mingsheng, Ma Dong and others, all remained silent.

Once upon a time, they all came this way.

Xie Changshan also survived before joining the Dazhangshu base.

The same goes for He Feng Mingsheng and his men. Before they joined Wu Jianguo's special forces in the northern border, they were struggling on the brink of life and death in the outer city and lived a precarious life.

Therefore, Liu Sheng's words resonated strongly with them.

It reminded them of the difficult days in the past that they didn't want to recall.
