Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1545 Mooncakes are a luxury, you can’t afford them

The night passed.

Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu and others stayed up all night. The ultraviolet lamp was replaced at around three o'clock in the morning.

Three high-jumping zombies appeared that night, but they were all dealt with by them.

Looking at the red sun in the sky, Zuo Ruxue's tense body relaxed.

At least I made it through the night.

In the gray sky, they vaguely saw a dozen wall-climbing zombies climb onto the truck and leave the school.

After another ten minutes, it was bright.

From the drone, we can see that the northern wall has completely collapsed, and there are only a few zombies left outside the wall.

The zombie corpses piled on the ground also disappeared, as they were all eaten by their own kind.

After seeing the footage from the drone, Zuo Ruxue stood up and said to everyone:

"The zombies have basically retreated. Everyone, pack up and head to the North as soon as possible."

"Everyone, please be careful when getting on the bus and check the bottom of the car."

At Zuo Ruxue's command, the people gathered in the playground began to pack up their things and put away the ultraviolet lamp.

After packing their luggage, Zuo Ruxue and her group headed for the northern border without stopping.

It’s only two hours from Shishi to the north border.

Two hours later, they arrived at the northern city wall.

The tall and majestic city walls became clearer and clearer.

In the north, it has been a long time since anyone from Oil City and the headquarters base came here.

Therefore, the arrival of Zuo Ruxue and others attracted great attention from Lao Xie, He Chao and others.

They even ran to the gate of the outer city of the North to greet Zuo Ruxue and the others.

As the convoy got closer, an excited look appeared on He Chao's face.

Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng behind He Chao were even more excited. Xiao Hu had a very good relationship with both of them.

The three have some similarities and joined the Dazhangshu base at about the same time.

They each lead a team, and are promoted to non-staff members and out-of-city staff together.

Zhu Xiao and Xiao Hu knew each other before the end of the world.

A few minutes later, the convoy arrived under the wall.

crunch--

Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu got out of the car.

"Manager He, Captain Xie" Xiao Hu walked over with a smile on his face to greet He Chao and others.

When Zuo Ruxue saw the imperial concubine in the crowd, a smile appeared on her face.

Haven't seen you for more than two months.

"Did you have a smooth journey?" He Chao asked with a smile.

Xiao Hu's face changed slightly. He actually had to take some responsibility for the accident last night, but he was more worried that Zuo Ruxue would expose Wang Chunqi.

Zuo Ruxue next to him said calmly:
"We encountered some minor accidents last night, but we got through them safely. However, we found that the high-jumping zombies have changed again. The high-jumping zombies we encountered last night could actually jump nearly 3 meters high."

He Chao and Lao Xie were a little surprised when they heard this.

"Three meters high?!"

Xiao Hu coughed and said, "About two meters and eighty centimeters, probably less than three meters."

"That's scary too. I remember the information about high jumping zombies in the zombie manual distributed by the base before was that the height was 2.45 meters, and now it's 2.8. It's increased so much!" Old Xie frowned.

Then he asked, "Have you reported this matter to the headquarters base?"

Zuo Ruxue nodded and said, "I have already reported this to the headquarters on the way here today."

"Yeah." Old Xie nodded.

He Chao looked at the long convoy behind him and interrupted their conversation:
"Okay, let's go inside and talk. Let the convoy come in first."

"Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk about it." Old Xie reacted and said quickly.

In this way, the group walked into the city.

Lao Xie asked Ah Hong to conduct routine inspections on the convoy to prevent anyone in the convoy from being infected with the zombie virus and being released into the city.

On the way, Zuo Ruxue took out a list from her arms and said:
"Manager He, we brought 200 tons of food, 2000 tons of fuel, and 50 tons of other daily necessities."

He Chao took the list, scanned it up and down, and handed it to Zhou Ran behind him, "Go and count the supplies to see if they are consistent with the list."

"Okay, boss." Zhou Ran took the list and ran towards the convoy.

After doing all this, He Chao turned his head and asked:

"Captain Zuo, my daughter is at the base. How is she?"

Zuo Ruxue thought about it and replied somewhat embarrassedly:
"Our transport team is basically out there, and the time we stay at the headquarters base is very short. When I was at the base, I saw your daughter from a distance once, but she seemed very happy. At that time, they were going to the fourth outer city for a practical class."

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

"Actually, you can let your daughter come to the North."

"No, she won't be able to receive education if she comes to the North. The education conditions in the North can't compare to those at the headquarters base."

"That's true, but you don't have to worry, Director He. The city lord may transfer you back in two months."

He Chao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not very realistic. There's only one job for each person. Song Min is in charge of the headquarters base, and there won't be a suitable position for me if I go back."

"It's actually quite good to stay in the North."

Zuo Ruxue could see that he was not being sincere, but she did not expose his thoughts.

the other side.

Xiao Hu looked at the neatly arranged greenhouses on the roadside and exclaimed to Lao Xie:
"How many acres of greenhouses are there in the North?"

Old Xie replied with a hint of pride:

“现在已经建造好的有1~3期，差不多1万亩。如果等4期5期建好了，总温室大棚面积将会达到1万六千亩，年产粮食能够达到12000吨。”

"So many!" Xiao Hu's pupils shrank, surprised by the number.

The North Border is worthy of being the North Border, it is a large area. After so many years of development, the Dazhangshu headquarters base has gradually expanded to an area of ​​more than 20,000 acres.

But there are already 20,000 acres of area in the north, and most of the space is now used to build greenhouses and grow crops.

What does an annual grain output of 12000 tons mean? It means that this grain is enough to feed 10 people for most of half a year.

In addition, the newly added greenhouses at the headquarters base are also planted with crops, so food will no longer be a problem.

Xiao Hu entered the inner city in shock.

The inner city of the North has changed very little.

Apart from the addition of a few greenhouses, the buildings have hardly changed from before except that they have become more old.

This is in stark contrast to the thriving trading bazaar.

Moreover, since there are fewer people in the North and the area is large, the entire North seems a bit deserted.

They held a short meeting. Lao Xie and He Chao learned about the situation in the Oil City and the headquarters base through Zuo Ruxue and others. At the same time, Lao Xie also introduced the general situation in the northern border to Zuo Ruxue.

After the meeting, there will be free time. Today they have to unload the goods in the convoy, so Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu cannot leave today. They can stay in the northern border for the whole day and have a good rest at night.

The wave of zombies they encountered yesterday kept them awake all night, and they drove for two hours. Many people were tired, so they found a place to sleep.

As members of the transport team, they spent nearly half of their time on the road, running back and forth between the headquarters base, the oil city, and the northern border.

At this stage, there is not much output in the North and it is still in the investment stage.

On the one hand, because the population here is small and the area is large, someone needs to take care of the crops in the greenhouses, and someone is also needed to collect some raw materials such as wood and coal nearby for use in the city's industries. The remaining people serve as fixed duty personnel to defend the vast northern border.

Human resources are relatively scarce in the North, and the headquarters has positioned this area as a grain production area. It has no plans to develop it vigorously, and will mainly produce grain in the later stages.

nowadays.

Oil can be produced in the Oil City, and some items needed for the headquarters base can be collected from survivors in the trading market.

The Dazhangshu base can produce some daily necessities and bullets, and currently can also produce food.

However, the things that the North can send to Oil City and the headquarters base are extremely limited, and the North still relies mainly on the support of the two places.

Therefore, on their next trip back to Oil City from the North, the amount of supplies that could be transported on the vehicle was relatively small.

According to the plan, they stayed in the North today.

We will return to Oil City tomorrow, fill up our tanks with oil, and then bring the oil back to the Dazhangshu headquarters base.

After that, they recuperated at the headquarters base for a week, and then transported supplies from the headquarters base to Oil City and the North Territory again.

And so on and on.

When the grain in the north matures in the future, they will no longer need to transport the grain out from the headquarters base. They only need to deliver the grain in the north to the oil city.

The imperial concubine didn't have to be on duty today, and she was very happy to see Zuo Ruxue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

The imperial concubine brought Zuo Ruxue to the riverside in the northern city.

The bank of the stream was covered with weeds, and less than 5 meters away from the stream there grew a big tree.

There is a tall and wide iron bridge over the stream, which is large enough to accommodate vehicles.

The two of them lay on the lawn beside the bridge. Zuo Ruxue said with a smile:

"The scenery here is quite nice. How have you been lately?"

The imperial concubine propped her hands back and raised her head to look at the big tree above her.

"To be honest, it's quite boring. There are only men here. There are not many women. They are on duty every day."

Zuo Ruxue laughed and scolded:

"Are you showing off? Do you think it's fun to be outside like me, living in fear every day, dealing with zombies, and sleeping outdoors?"

"You, have you forgotten the hard times you had a few years ago? At that time, you wanted to have such an easy, safe life without worrying about food and drink. Now you want to find some excitement?"

The concubine shook her head.

"I like an adventurous life. I get excited when I think about fighting, but right now it's so quiet in the North. Once the UV light is on, we don't have to fire a single bullet. There are only a few times a month when we can practice shooting."

Zuo Ruxue suddenly sat up and asked seriously:
"Do you want to join the transport team?"

The imperial concubine's eyes lit up. "Can I join? The transport convoy seems quite interesting. We can travel to three places. I heard that the trading market is very lively. I haven't had a chance to go and see it."

"And the headquarters base. I haven't been back for a year."

Zuo Ruxue looked into her eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Don't be ridiculous. You are in the militia, and you are the captain of the 10th Militia Battalion. How could you be willing to give up your position as captain and work with me as a transporter?"

The imperial concubine smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "I really don't think it's interesting. If I could really join the transport brigade, I would immediately apply to the headquarters base."

"Are you crazy? You don't want to live a peaceful life and insist on living this adventurous life. I can't understand you." Zuo Ruxue complained.

"Is it okay?" The imperial concubine still insisted.

Zuo Ruxue rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "Recently, the transportation tasks have increased, and the transportation team is also expanding. If you really want to join the transportation team, it's not possible, but you have to think about it carefully."

"I've thought about it. I want to join." The imperial concubine replied without hesitation.

"There's really nothing I can do about you. There's no problem on my side. But you have to get the consent of Captain Xie and the others first. After all, Captain Xie and Supervisor He are your immediate superiors. They have to be willing to release you before I can accept you." Zuo Ruxue said helplessly after pondering for a long time.

"Okay, I'll apply to Captain Xie and Supervisor He later."

Zuo Ruxue shook her head. She couldn't understand what the imperial concubine was thinking.

In the end times, most people want a safe, stable and warm environment.

The imperial concubine, on the other hand, likes excitement and adventure, and wants to follow me on a transportation trip.
Looking for trouble when there is none, looking for danger when there is no danger.

After thinking about it, Zuo Ruxue decided to persuade the imperial concubine again.

"There is something I want to remind you of."

"If there is no transfer order from above, we can't just leave the transport team. After you join, you can't just transfer to other places. You have to think about this carefully."

The imperial concubine was silent for a few seconds, then nodded resolutely and said, "I understand, no problem."

Zuo Ruxue sighed. She had said everything she should and shouldn’t say, and had also reminded everyone she needed to.

If you still want to join, then come.

The imperial concubine is smart, has good marksmanship, and is quite skilled in martial arts. If she were to join the transport team, she would be able to provide great help to herself.

Unlike that reckless man Xiao Hu, no matter what situation he encounters, he always says: Brothers, let’s do it!

Zuo Ruxue crossed her hands, placed them behind her head as a pillow, and lay down on the lawn.

The canopy of the big tree above their heads blocked the sunlight, so they lay in the shade.

A gust of wind blew by, carrying a faint scent of earth and grass in the air.

Zuo Ruxue yawned.

She was very tired after staying up all night last night, so she relaxed and fell asleep.

Big camphor tree base.

Li Yu came to the mooncake factory and saw the latest mooncakes produced on the factory assembly line.

He picked up a mooncake and looked at it. The surface was baked golden brown.

The aroma of a mixture of fruit, eggs and bean paste made Li Yu feel a little emotional.

How many years has it been since you last had mooncakes?
Five years in my previous life and six years in this life, a total of eleven years, I haven’t eaten mooncakes.

Due to various reasons, we have not made any effort to produce mooncakes in the past six years of this life.

This year, with the great development in mind, it was necessary to motivate the people at the base, so he ordered the production of this mooncake.

I took a light bite and tasted a familiar flavor.

I vaguely remember that in my previous life, I didn’t like eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I would just eat half of it just to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because the material conditions were so good at that time, there were so many things that tasted better than mooncakes. Moreover, mooncakes are heavy in oil and sugar, and each one is very solid. Eating one makes you feel full and greasy, so people disliked mooncakes less and less, and even began to develop and sell sugar-free mooncakes on the market.
But in this end times, mooncakes are considered a luxury food.

High in oil, sugar and fat, it can provide huge calories and has a long shelf life. In the end times, these original disadvantages have become advantages.

Almost all the survivors in the apocalypse cannot eat mooncakes.

Scarcity and luxury. Using so many precious food ingredients to make mooncakes is a luxury.

Li Yu chewed the mooncake gently. He hadn't eaten mooncakes for more than ten years.

I tasted it at this time and suddenly found that mooncakes are so delicious.

He suddenly remembered that mooncakes were sold at 5 points per piece in the trading market.

At this price, many people are bound to be unable to afford it.

But there is no way, the raw materials used in mooncakes are too solid.

Eggs, bean paste, dried fruits, flour, peanut oil
Which one is not an extremely rare material?
