Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Trading Mart, Shop No. 2.

Oil City Hotel.

Four long queues were lined up.

The news that mooncakes were sold at window No. 4 was passed from the front window to the back.

After a busy day, Xu Qingwen and Sui Dahai were standing in line behind window number four.

When Sui Dahua heard the discussions of the people around him, his eyes flickered.

Now his father also goes to work in a wood products factory, and they can save 1.1 points a day. After accumulating for this period of time, they have now accumulated 26 points.

They are level four personnel, and according to the current price of 2 points, they can afford it.

I just can't bear to do that.

However, they have never celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival properly for so many years, and they haven't eaten mooncakes for six years. Sui Dahua feels a little guilty towards his son.

His son had to face such a cruel apocalypse, and his entire childhood was spent in it.

But he was still reluctant to give up the two points.

Thinking of this, he patted Xu Qingwen in front of him and said, "Old Xu, do you want to buy that mooncake?"

Xu Qingwen smiled bitterly, turned around and said to Sui Dahua:
"I feel a little reluctant to leave you?"

"Me too, but I feel like I owe it to my son, so I want to buy one for him to try, and then we can have one as a family."

When Xu Qingwen heard what he said, he also thought of his ten-year-old daughter.

After fleeing with me for so many years, he has finally settled down. I have 23 points on hand, so I can afford to buy one.

"How about we buy one together? That way it won't be expensive." Xu Qingwen said after thinking for a while.

"That's fine." Sui Dahua said with a smile.

"But what about Ma Xiaotiao? Should we give him some when the time comes?" Xu Qingwen asked.

"it is good."

The two of them agreed that as time passed, it was their turn. Since they were level four personnel, they only spent 2 points to buy a mooncake.

The size of this mooncake is bigger than they expected.

Two middle-aged men, carrying a bag of mooncakes, were walking back to the residential area in a good mood.

They were more frugal and as level 4 personnel chose free level 3 housing.

After returning to the residential area and looking at the dim lights on the roadside, Xu Qingwen felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.

As a man, nothing can make him feel more proud than doing his best to provide a good life for his family and children.

Mooncakes, such a common food before the end of the world.

But it seems extremely luxurious in the end times.

In their eyes, mooncakes are not just food, but also a symbol and hope for them to survive in the end times.

People always need to give some encouragement and comfort to themselves when they are struggling.

This piece of mooncake is comfort.

Otherwise what's the meaning of hard work and struggle?

He returned to his residence carrying the mooncakes. Since Ma Xiaotiao was alone, he didn't need to buy mooncakes. His workplace provided him with two meals.

Sui Dahua and Xu Qingwen both have children to raise, so even though the construction site provides them with two meals a day, they still have to go to the restaurant every now and then to buy some tortillas.

The three families originally lived separately, but later they applied to change dormitories and lived together.

The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

"Dad, are you back?" Xu Qingwen's wife saw Xu Qingwen, stood up, and helped take the backpack from his shoulders.

Xu Qingwen smiled and said to his wife, "Lao Sui and I bought mooncakes together."

"Moon cakes? Are they sold in the market now?"

"Yes, the purchase is limited to 500 copies. Two points for one, Lao Sui and I will each pay half."

Half for each person, that’s one point to buy one mooncake.

Xu Qingwen works as a lumberjack outside and his wife works as a laborer on a construction site. They can save about 0.9 points a day, which is almost the points for a day's work.

It's OK, not too expensive.

Ever since his wife found a job as a laborer on a construction site, Xu Qingwen's stress has been reduced a lot.

In the past, he had to support his wife and daughter alone and could not save any points.

But now, both my wife and I can earn points, and meals are provided. We raise our daughter together, which makes things much easier, and we can earn points every day.

The same is true for Sui Dahua's family. Sui Dahua originally had to support two people by himself. Now Sui Dahua's father works in a wood products factory and their lives have improved.

Spending a day's salary to buy mooncakes is actually not that stressful for them.

"Mooncakes? Dad, are there really mooncakes?" Xu Qingwen's daughter is only ten years old this year. She was only four years old before the apocalypse broke out. In her hazy memory, the idea of ​​mooncakes is already very vague.

Xu Qingwen looked at Sui Dahua, and Sui Dahua opened the mooncake wrapper with a smile.

Inside was a palm-sized mooncake with a crispy crust and a faint fragrance.

"It looks delicious." Sui Dahua's son licked his tongue.

Sui Xiaoming, who was malnourished because he ate corn tortillas all day, had dull hair and a yellowish complexion.

Sui Dahua patted his son's head and said with a smile, "Let's eat together during the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, we'll eat together then." Xu Qingwen nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, he saw Ma Xiaotiao who had walked to the door at some point.

The moonlight was bright, and Ma Xiaotiao's figure looked extremely desolate under the moonlight.

Ugh.
When Xu Qingwen saw Ma Xiaotiao like this, he sighed quietly, thinking that this child was a miserable person.

The apocalypse broke out when I was 12 years old. I endured it for six years and just became an adult this year.

But all his family members died.

"Xiao Tiao, let's celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together and eat mooncakes together." After looking at Sui Dahua, Xu Qingwen said to Ma Xiaotiao.

Ma Xiaotiao didn't turn around or answer him, but just nodded silently.

Then he left the room and went upstairs.

"Old Sui, why don't you go and take a look? He's still a child. I'm afraid of him."

Just as Sui Dahai was about to stand up, Sui Dahai's father Sui Deguang stood up before him.

"I gonna go see."

When Sui Deguang walked to the door and crossed the long corridor, he saw Ma Xiaotiao standing at the stairs. Sui Deguang hurriedly followed.

But when he ran to the stairs, the person was gone.

So he walked downstairs. When he reached the bottom of the building, he looked around but still did not see Ma Xiaotiao.

Suddenly, he looked towards the roof.

Maybe he went to the rooftop, he thought to himself.

So he ran towards the roof.

Two minutes later, he reached the rooftop and saw a young man sitting on the edge of the rooftop, with his back to the entrance and his head raised at the bright white moon.

Seeing the usually lively Ma Xiaotiao like this, Sui Deguang felt a little emotional for a moment.

He knew Ma Xiaotiao's father, who was a very upright man.

Unfortunately, he died in a thunderstorm.

Sui Deguang walked closer slowly, thinking about how to comfort Ma Xiaotiao.

When I got closer, I heard Ma Xiaotiao talking to himself.

"Mom, I miss you. Da left a while ago. You all left."

"I have no relatives in this world anymore."

"I really miss you guys. Sometimes when I see other people having parents and they are so happy, I can't bear to watch them."

"Don't worry, Uncle Sui and Uncle Xu are very caring for me. They taught me to save points. I started saving and have already saved 5 points. I will have more and more in the future."

"Today is my birthday. After today I will be eighteen years old. I have grown up! I will live a good life and you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Listening to Ma Xiaotiao's words, Sui Deguang's eyes were filled with moisture. As he was old, he couldn't bear to see a little kid suffer so much.

He stepped back step by step, because he knew that Ma Xiaotiao wanted to be alone now.

As Hotel No. 2 started selling mooncakes, the news spread quickly because Hotel No. 2 was already the busiest shop.

Subsequently, more and more people came here specifically to buy mooncakes.

Listening to the Wind Tower. Creak!

The window on the second floor of Tingfeng Tower was pushed open, and a pair of beautiful arms as tender as lotus roots, slender and white, stretched out.

Her beautiful face lay on her white arms, and she stared blankly at the lights in the distance.

There was still a blush on her face, and a hint of fatigue between her eyebrows.

I don’t know which passerby noticed the second-floor window, saw her, and shouted excitedly.

"Wow wow wow, Da Mi Mi! Da Mi Mi!"

"Wow! Da Mi Mi is so big!"

"Personally, I prefer Di Tongnaya."

"What's the fuss? Just spend some points and you can do it too."

"Is that called spending some points?"

Da Mimi looked at the shouts of the people downstairs with an expressionless face. These people were so boring.

I closed the window and went downstairs.

"Sister Huizi, I want to eat mooncakes."

Huizi naturally also received the news that the Oil City Hotel was selling mooncakes. As a major taxpayer in the trading market, they earned a lot of points every day.

Even though the tax rate for their industry was as high as a terrifying 60%, after paying taxes and rent, she still had a lot of points in her hands.

Buying mooncakes is not very expensive. With Mimi's ability, she can earn that much in two hours.

Naturally, she would not treat her and Di Tongnaya, the two cash cows, unfairly.

With a big smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry, I'll ask Xiao Fuzi to buy it."

"You and Xiaoya each get one piece, and the rest of you get half a piece each. Girls, I've said before that I will definitely let the girls in our family live a good life!"

After hearing Huizi's words, several women who were waiting for customers around her praised her.

"Sister Huizi is so nice!"

"Yes, Sister Huizi really cares about us, unlike those men who only know how to talk but never take action."

"Girls help girls!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Girls helping girls!"

"Sister Mi is still very cultured!"

Ten minutes later, a two-meter-tall muscular man returned to Tingfeng Tower carrying a large box.

Huizi was not surprised but happy when she saw the muscular man.

"Xiao Fuzi, quickly bring this box over here for me to see."

The tall, muscular man was very obedient and walked over to put the box down.

He has thick and messy eyebrows, a large and slightly red nose, and a deep voice.

"Sister Huizi, there are 25 mooncakes in total, and I spent 125 points, all of which are in here."

When Huizi heard that she spent 125 points, she felt a little distressed even though she was the owner of Tingfeng Tower.

They are all level five personnel. It costs 5 points to buy a mooncake, so 25 mooncakes means 125 points.

It is equivalent to the revenue of Tingfeng Tower in two days.

However, in the trading market, according to the rules of the trading market, you cannot force others to do things they don’t want to do, nor can you fight.

All the girls she recruited were free to leave, and if she was not good enough to them, they might leave.

Therefore, she tried her best to give them the best food and living conditions in order to stabilize them.

Even so, some people still leave after accumulating enough points.

However, new people come into the trading market every day. Some women who have just come in and have no savings, when they are starving to a certain extent and have no other options, will be contacted by people from Tingfeng Tower and gradually lured in.

In this way, some people leave, but some fresh blood joins in, maintaining a delicate balance.

Huizi opened the box, took out a mooncake from it, unwrapped it, and broke off a piece of the mooncake. "Oh! It's quite filling."

It's sweet and super satisfying when you take a bite.

She broke off a piece for Ditonnaya and one piece for Da Mimi.

Then he shouted to Xiao Fuzi, "Give them all to everyone to try."

Huizi has a rather forthright personality. To her, nothing is more important than the present moment, and enjoying life while she can is her life motto.

You don’t have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat mooncakes.

If she wants to eat, she eats. Just like her style, she does what she wants to do immediately without considering the consequences and risks.

East District Living Area.

Building 34, third-level housing.

Wang Beibei fetched some water downstairs, walked across the corridor and went to the room.

On the way back, she had to walk through a long corridor.

There were many people standing in the aisle chatting and talking. It was only eight o'clock in the evening and many people were still awake.

There is a lack of entertainment in the end times and it is very boring.

Many of them don't have many points, so they can only stroll around the commercial area and can't afford to buy anything most of the time.

There weren't many entertainment venues in the trading market, and Tingfeng Tower and Shuilong Club were beyond their reach.

The gladiatorial arena competition is also on break today.

So the bored people always stand in the aisle chatting and exchanging information at the same time.

"I heard there's a second-hand computer mall in Suicheng County. My friend found more than a dozen computers there a few days ago. They were still usable after being turned on and charged!"

"Fuck, is this true?"

"Of course, like I just told you, my best friend."

"Then I have something to tell you. Oil City Hotel has started selling mooncakes. Did you know about this?"

"Hen, you're awesome!"

"We're selling mooncakes. Level 5 personnel get one for 2 points, and level 500 personnel get one for points. A lot of people are buying them. I heard there are only copies, so they'll probably be sold out soon."

"Five points for one! Damn! So expensive!"

"Yeah, even if you kill me I can't afford it."

"How much do you weigh?"

"Why do you ask?"

"According to the meat price at the trading market, lean meat is 8 points per pound, and fat meat is 12 points per pound. You have at least 100 pounds, right? So, you are worth 1000 points."

"Get lost."

Wang Beibei was holding a kettle and listening to the discussions of the people around her. When she heard the word "moon cake", she raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.

On a full-moon night, I thought to myself: Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Mooncakes are affordable, but they are too luxurious!

Ever since they found the giant yam last time, their luck hasn’t been so good, but they can still find plants worth a dozen points every time they go out.

But they got these points at great risk and were very frugal with their use.

Returning to the room, she silently placed the water on the ground.

Liu Zhuangshi in the room was excitedly talking about the gossip he heard outside.

"Have you heard? The wooden furniture factory has increased the speed of bed production again!"

"The furniture for the first-level housing has been built, and the second-level housing is in progress. I think it won't be long before we can live on wooden beds. Hehe, Gu Yongzhen, I'll sleep on the lower bunk then."

Gu Yongzhen glanced at him and said, "The wooden beds in the secondary housing area have only been laid out for one building. It will probably be our turn in at least a month."

"You're so boring. I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." Liu Zhuangshi lost all interest.

Wang Beibei seemed unable to hear their conversation.
Staring blankly at the moonlight outside the door, I couldn't help but think of a folk song from my hometown.

"Rocking, rocking, the moonlight rocks to Grandma's Bridge."

The moonlight remains the same, but grandma is no longer seen.

(Asking for monthly tickets, today I will update 10,000~~)

[Wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance~~] (End of this chapter)
