Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Big camphor tree base.

That day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the construction site of the buffer city was still busy, the atmosphere was filled with joy as the festival approached.

In order to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival, the canteen made many preparations in advance in accordance with Li Yu's orders.

Eight fat pigs and three sheep were slaughtered as the main course of the banquet.

The best reward in the end times is to give food directly.

Therefore, even the level 4 and 5 personnel working on the buffer city construction site will be given a portion of boiled pork bone soup.

Level 1, 2, and 3 personnel eat meat, and the amount of meat rationed they enjoy varies according to their levels.

Level 4 and 5 personnel drink soup.

The number of people in the Level 1 inner city is smaller, and their status is higher. Large banquets are held, and people can eat as they please, and the food variety is also richer.

The personnel in the Level 2 outer cities have small gatherings in four places in the four outer cities. The food rations are less diverse and the ration quantities are also limited, but the staple food can be whatever you want.

Level 3 non-staff members were divided into groups and given two taels of meat and some other food on a per-person basis.

Level 4 and 5 members were given big bone soup, and had an extra meal today, including two more tortillas and a steamed bun. Members who worked today were given triple the points.

In the past six months, the planting scale of the large camphor tree base has expanded, and the grain output has gradually stabilized, and the number of livestock on the farm has increased significantly.

With more food stored and better conditions, some benefits were given to the members of the base.

After all, this is the headquarters base. Although it is not as prosperous as the trading market in Oil City, its importance is here after all. The level 4 and 5 members who stay here will have better income and hidden benefits than those of the same level in the trading market.

But those members above level three will earn more points when they go out on missions than at the headquarters base.

Because they have basically gotten rid of the most basic food survival needs and don't have to worry about starving to death, it is not safer to go to other places than to stay at the headquarters base.

There is only one way to attract them out, and that is to attract them with higher points.

In order to level up faster, some of them choose to go out on missions.

Moreover, the fastest way to upgrade is to make achievements. The headquarters base is as safe as an iron barrel and there is no danger.

Some experts with extremely strong professional abilities who can solve some problems in certain fields can receive special treatment.

But most people are not experts. They can only run out to find more opportunities to build up their merits and achieve the goal of increasing their points faster to get promoted.

noon.

Buffer city entrance.

An electric truck stopped and a head popped out of the window.

"Lao Yu!"

Yu Lei looked up and saw Sergeant Luo in the car.

"Hey, Lao Luo is back so early?"

Sergeant Luo laughed and said, "Old Yu, you are already a Level 2 personnel now, why are you still guarding the gate?"

Just two days ago, Yu Lei, who had been a third-level non-staff member for four years, was finally promoted to a second-level staff member.

Before this promotion, Yu Lei was the person with the longest seniority among the third-level non-staff personnel.

You know, he is a third-level non-staff member of the same batch as Xiao Hu, Zuo Ruxue and others.

The leg that was broken by Gangojie limited his development.

But in the past four years, he has conscientiously obeyed all the tasks assigned to him by the base.

Whether he was stationed in a satellite city, leading a transport team, or even guarding the buffer city gate, he had no regrets.

In order not to affect the development of his group members, he even disbanded the group and let them develop on their own.

Many team members were promoted to level 2 personnel and were scattered across various positions.

Two days ago, the base announced a list of promotions, and Yu Lei was among the three promoted to two.

Yu Lei was deeply moved at that time.

When Sergeant Luo brought up this matter, Yu Lei said with a smile:

"You kid, buffering the city gate is not a trivial matter. You can't get this job even if you want to do it."

Sergeant Luo smiled and nodded: "Mr. Yu taught me that. I'll go in first."

"Go away, you little bastard."

"Let's go, Xiao Zhang." Sergeant Luo said to the driver.

Zhang Zheng, who was driving, was also in a good mood and looked excited.

"Team leader, I heard that meat will be distributed today. Can we get some too?"

Sergeant Luo raised his lips and said, "It should be possible. We are promoted at the right time. We can eat meat right after we are promoted."

"Hehe!" Zhang Zheng's hands holding the steering wheel seemed to be even stronger.

People all hope that life will get better and better. Life without a goal is meaningless.

In the promotion list of the past two days, in addition to Yu Lei's promotion, there were many other people who were promoted.

Among them were the three groups of Sergeant Luo, Gao Zhongtian and Le Ziqing, all of whom were promoted to third-level non-staff personnel.

They all fled from the southwest, and had performed well over the past year or so, so they were approved for promotion.

The promotion lists from Oil City and the North are still under review, and notification will be issued after the review is passed.

Sergeant Luo led a convoy loaded with iron ore and transported it to the newly built steel plant.

After unloading the iron ore from more than a dozen electric trucks onto the open space, Sergeant Luo and his team drove to the charging station and plugged the charging guns of more than a dozen electric trucks into the charging piles for charging.

Sergeant Luo clapped his hands and shoulders, and jumped off the car. Since they found the iron ore and coal mines and started mining, their team basically transported these two ores every day.

Running around in the smoke and dust every day, their bodies were covered with various mineral powders.

"Old Luo."

"Hey." Sergeant Luo turned his head and looked at the person who came.

"Hey, Mr. Gao, aren't you in charge of long-distance transportation? Why are you back so early today?" Sergeant Luo asked puzzledly.

Mr. Gao’s real name is Gao Zhongtian, and he was one of the people who was previously exploited by Jia Tan.

Since the two words Gao Zhong are homophonic with Gao Zong, people who are familiar with him jokingly call him Gao Zong.

Gao Zhongtian shook his head and lifted up his calves.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I was so happy after getting promoted two days ago that I jumped off the truck bed and sprained my ankle. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I took two days off."

Sergeant Luo looked at his bitter face and tried to hold back his laughter, but he had not received any professional training after all, so he laughed anyway.

"Boss Gao, today's points are tripled. You're losing a lot."

Gao Zhongtian heard this and sighed, "Who said it wasn't? Oh, by the way, I just happened to see you. I want to tell you that the mooncakes distributed by the base are in your room. Everyone in your group will get one, calculated based on the number of people. You can distribute them when the time comes."

"Mooncake?" Sergeant Luo's eyes lit up.

Gao Zhongtian nodded and said, "Yes, mooncakes. Every level 3 employee has one. They were just distributed."

"I didn't expect that becoming a level three staff member would have so many benefits!" Sergeant Luo said with emotion.

"Haha, let's go."

Sergeant Luo stared at Gao Zhongtian's leaving back and was stunned for a while.

Their lives seemed to be getting better and better.

A voice beside him interrupted his daze. "Team leader, let's go eat."

"walk."

The electric truck was just being charged here, so they went there to have lunch and then went out for some transportation in the afternoon.

Unlike the usual lunch when they had to take care of themselves, today's lunch was not only free, but also came with two taels of meat.

In a building near the hypermarket in the buffer city, this building has only one floor, but the floor height is ten meters and the area is quite large, over a thousand square meters.

At this time, the meals prepared from the inner and outer cities were pushed into the lobby.

The level 3 personnel lined up according to their groups on the far left, the level 4 personnel were in the middle, and the level 5 personnel lined up on the far left to receive their corresponding Mid-Autumn Festival food.

Sergeant Luo and his group arrived at the building.

As soon as we entered, we saw a bustling crowd inside, and the loudspeaker sounded, "All those who have received their food, please do not stay in the lobby."

He followed the signs to where the Level 3 personnel were to collect their food. They all used their own lunch boxes.

The lunch boxes are different. Some people use aluminum alloy lunch boxes, some use thermal insulation boxes, and some even use a huge enamel cup.
Sergeant Luo and his comrades lined up and first got a bowl of pork bone soup, and then the staple food in the lunch box turned out to be rice!
It is not easy to eat rice these days, after all, the growing cycle of rice is relatively long.

Most of the time we eat sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes.

Or things like corn tortillas and multi-grain tortillas launched this year.

A big bowl of rice, a piece of meat weighing 200 grams, a dish of stir-fried lettuce, a dish of smashed cucumber, and a bowl of pork bone soup!

One meat dish, two vegetable dishes, a soup and a mooncake are today's meals for level 3 personnel.

Zhang Zheng carefully held the enamel cup in one hand and the thermos cup in the other.

The enamel cup was one liter in size, with a spoon stuck in it. The shiny and greasy braised pork inside swayed as he walked. The emerald green lettuce and the yellow-red braised pork looked extremely tempting.

His face was filled with pride and excitement.

We have turned things around now!

A group of people who had just come in from outside almost popped their eyes out when they saw the enamel cup in Zhang Zheng's hand.

One of the young men exclaimed:

"Fuck, are we going to have meat today?"

An old partner, now a Level 4 staff member, shook his head and said sarcastically:

"What are you thinking? You're a Level 5 personnel who has just joined our Great Camphor Tree Base for less than a week, and you still want to eat meat? Eat shit."

The current Dazhangshu base maintains a unified job grade division with the Oil City.

All old partners are classified as Level 4 personnel, and those who joined in the last two or three months are classified as Level 5 personnel.

This has resulted in a rather strange phenomenon: at the current Dazhangshu base, there are more level 4 personnel than level 5 personnel, but as more level 5 personnel join, this situation will be reversed.

After hearing that, the young man said somewhat dejectedly:

"If I were the leader of the Camphor Tree Base, I would let everyone eat meat, distribute it equally, and be fair and just! Free and equal!"

The other Level 4 personnel looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Why do you think so well? Equal distribution means laziness! Can't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you."

Zhang Zheng passed by them and heard their conversation. It was like he had an itch on his back and their words just happened to scratch that itch.

Cool!
Sergeant Luo and his group did not return to their residence. Instead, they found a place with a lot of people and some shade downstairs and sat down on the steps to eat.

They were afraid that others couldn't see what they were eating.

They ate the braised pork until their mouths were full of oil.

Eating has always been what Chinese people attach the most importance to.

Even before the end of the world, people often greeted each other by asking, "Have you eaten?"

This stems from the fact that in ancient times, the Chinese people lived in difficult conditions and often faced problems with food and clothing, so "eating" became one of the issues that people were most concerned about.

You ate it, you are so arrogant, there is rice at home.

You didn’t eat, you poor bastard, little Karami.

Comparison will always exist no matter what time it is.

In ancient times, when people compared themselves with others, they would ask, "Have you eaten? Is your food good? Have you eaten meat?"
Before the end of the world, people are comparing whether they have a house or a car, how big the house is, how much it costs per square meter, and what brand the car is.
The comparison after the end of the world is: Did you eat? Did you eat well? Did you eat meat?
In a way, we have returned to the simplicity of ancient times.

Therefore, no matter what level the economy and living standards reach, comparison will always exist.

Zhang Zheng put the braised pork on the surface, gulped down half a bowl of rice and vegetables, and then had a sip of pork bone high-calcium soup.

"Old Zhang, don't you like eating meat? Since you don't eat meat, how about I help you solve this problem?" Fang Jushan asked with a smile when he saw that Zhang Zheng had been holding on to the meat.

While taking out chopsticks to pick up the meat.

"Get lost! I'm saving the food for last. Get lost~"

Zhang Zheng quickly avoided his chopsticks.

Whoops!

As he dodged, a round piece of meat was thrown out of his enamel cup.

It rolled around and was covered with a layer of dust.

"Grass!"

Zhang Zheng rushed over without saying a word and picked up the meat on the ground.

He put it in his bowl without any hesitation.

After doing all this, he pointed at Fang Jushan's nose and cursed: "You damn old Fangtou, I'm going to kill you later."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a small bite of the fattiest part of the braised pork.

In the end times, fat meat is more popular than lean meat.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and there is no oil in my stomach, so the fatty meat tastes especially good when I eat it.

The greasy fat slid down the throat.

Although there was dust, he didn't care.

Opposite them sat a row of workers, watching them eat with envy in their eyes, their mouths slightly open, and some even drooling.

It was because of seeing those workers holding tortillas and steamed buns that Sergeant Luo and his men chose to sit here to eat.

Sergeant Luo looked at the group of people opposite him and felt inexplicably familiar with this scene.

Because more than a year ago, they also sat in the opposite position and watched people of higher rank than them eat meat.

Now, I can finally become the object of envy of others.

Time flies by, but their efforts are not in vain.

He looked towards the inner and outer cities of the Camphor Tree Base and murmured:
"I wonder what Level 2 and Level 1 personnel eat? It must be better than what we eat."

It is precisely because of the different treatment and benefits that there is the motivation to climb up from the bottom.

At least it is fair now, as long as they work hard and create merit,

You will gain something, you will be able to advance and improve, and you will be able to change your destiny.
