Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

The sky was filled with wind and sand, whistling and hitting the car body.

This is a huge sandstorm that covers the sky and the sun.

It's just past five o'clock now, and there should still be sunshine, but it's as dark as night outside and I can't see anything clearly.

Zheng Shiwu and Heishou moved the chairs to the lowest position and lay down looking at the ceiling.

The vehicle has been shut down.

I originally wanted to turn on the air conditioner's external circulation to let outside air in, but after thinking it over carefully, I decided not to.

Once turned on, the sand outside can easily block the air conditioning filter.

So they opened the car window a little bit and put a thin piece of clothing on it.

This way air can come in, but sand cannot get in because of the clothes.

With the air coming in, the two people would not suffocate to death in the car.

Over time, a thick layer of sand built up on the windshield.

The car body was shaken from time to time by the wind.

boom!
Suddenly a fist-sized stone hit the iron railing in front of the windshield.

The loud noise woke up the two people in the car.

"What's going on?" Black Hand opened his eyes.

"I guess a stone hit the railing in front of the windshield." Zheng Shiwu sat up, turned his head and said to him.

Black Hand lay back down again. "It should be fine with the iron railing. I'll continue to sleep. Remember to call me when the sandstorm stops."

"Well, go to sleep."

Zheng Shiwu looked at the dust outside the windshield and thought to himself that the sand could block some of the broken stones.

Although this layer of windshield is relatively strong, it would be troublesome if it was broken and sand blown in.

These devices inside the car may be destroyed by the sand.

Time passed slowly, and two hours later, the sandstorm showed no sign of stopping.

They stayed in the car and had no idea what was happening outside.

Heishou woke up once in the middle of the night, but went back to sleep again.

At 2:30 in the morning, the sandstorm was much smaller.

A night passed and it was five o'clock in the morning.

Zheng Shiwu woke up from his sleep and found that the sandstorm was much smaller in the second half of last night.

There was almost no movement outside now.

He turned on the lights in the car and checked his watch. It was five in the morning.

In the northwest, the sun comes out early, and the sky should be light at five o'clock.

"Black Hand, Black Hand, wake up." Zheng Shiwu shook the black hand.

"Has the sandstorm stopped?" Black Hand woke up from his sleep, rubbed his dry eyes and asked.

"Stop, I'm going to go out and take a look and let you know." Zheng Shiwu said.

"Okay, be careful."

For safety reasons, Zheng Shiwu changed into thicker clothes, covered his face, and put on goggles.

He pressed the door open button and pushed the door, but it didn't open.

So he pushed harder.

Click!

Wow!
Sand fell from the gap in the car door.

The sandstorm outside has stopped, and the view is dim.

rustle--

He got out of the car and found that the sand had submerged half of the tire.

Fortunately, they were driving an off-road vehicle, otherwise if they were driving a sedan, the chassis would be submerged.

The car body was covered with a thick layer of sand. The leaves on the row of road-protecting trees on the right had all fallen off, and two of the trees were even leaning to one side.

He took off his goggles. It was daybreak and there was a hint of red light on the horizon. He estimated that the sun would come out soon.

So he shouted to the black hand inside:
"The sandstorm has stopped, come out and clean up the sand."

After saying that, he squatted down and cleared the sand around the tires to the side to prevent the car from being unable to climb when starting.

The position where they docked last night was in the direction of the wind, and the exhaust vent was facing away from the sandstorm, so no sand entered the exhaust vent.

Use a small stick to scrape the sand off the windshield little by little through the iron railings. Some sand is difficult to clean, so you have to give up.

Then they opened the front hood, and there was some sand on it, so they used a brush to clean it up bit by bit.

When they finished cleaning, the sun came out.

The solar radiation here is extremely strong, and it hurts people's eyes.

The clothes they wore were all khaki in color. This was chosen by Uncle San because he considered that they were coming to the northwest. This kind of clothes was more concealed in the environment here.

"Blackhand, go light the fire and see if it can start."

"it is good."

The black hand inserted the key into the keyhole, turned it, and started the engine.

Boom boom boom!
A wisp of black smoke came out of the exhaust hole. "It can be ignited! It seems there is no problem. This car is great!" Black Hand exclaimed.

He thought that after experiencing this terrible sandstorm, the car might have serious problems.

I didn't expect that it could actually catch fire. It seems there is no problem at all.

Zheng Shiwu walked to the side and waved at the black hand, "Drive the car out."

Boom boom boom!
Blackhand slowly stepped on the accelerator and the tires started to spin.

They dug a small slope in front of the tires so that the car could climb out of the sand pile.

The car body slowly moved forward and climbed out of the sand pit, leaving behind a small hole the size of the car body.

But there is no way forward.

The G30 Expressway, which was originally very clear, is now buried under wind and sand.

However, the G30 Expressway is half a meter higher than the deserts on both sides, and the two highways can still be roughly distinguished by this height difference.

"Get in the car." Black Hand shouted at Zheng Shiwu.

Zheng Shiwu got in the car and said to Heishou, "Don't drive too fast. After driving for a while, I'll get off the car and dig up the sand to make sure we're on the road. Otherwise, if we deviate from the route and go to the desert, we'll be doomed."

"Okay, don't worry."

After the sandstorm, the road was covered with a layer of fine sand.

The vehicle ran over it, leaving two deep marks.

There happened to be no mountains on this section of the road, and all I could see was a stretch of dim yellow sand, as if I were in a desert.

If such a severe sandstorm occurred before the end of the world, the road maintenance team would immediately organize a team to clear the sand to ensure smooth traffic.

But at this time there was no one to take care of it, and the sand accumulated on the road could only rely on the wind to blow it away.

After driving two or three kilometers, they would stop and use an engineering shovel to dig up the sand to make sure they were still on the G30 highway.

An hour later, they arrived in Gu County.

It is close to Wu City. Since a large number of windbreaks were built before the end of the world, the road surface here is relatively less sandy.

They did not stop in Guxian, but continued along the G30 Expressway.

When you get here, you will see layers of mountains on both sides, which is spectacular.

This side is less affected by the sandstorm and the road surface is clearly visible.

Zheng Shiwu looked at the ancient county in the east. In the last few years, many buildings had collapsed under the erosion of solar radiation and wind and sand. The huge train station in the distance was empty.

There was no trace of human beings in the entire city, not even a zombie could be seen.

Uninhabited, this word emerged in his mind, and it was the most appropriate to describe the scene before him.

He found the map from the back, looked through it for a while, and said to Black Hand:

"Next stop, Wu City. Today's goal is to reach Zhang City!"

Big camphor tree base.

In the fourth outer city, the second uncle looked at the seven or eight people in front of him. These people were the candidates selected by Song Min and Old Dong.

Oil City has to send people to dismantle the weapons on the destroyer, which is a difficult task.

Ordinary technicians can't do this job. They may be able to dismantle it, but it will be difficult to put it back together.

Only experts who understand this can do this.

Song Min next to him said, "President, these people are experts in weapon systems and shipbuilding. This one is Liu Tianming. He worked at the Second Research Institute of the Domestic Arsenal before the end of the world."

As Song Min introduced them one by one, the second uncle had a general understanding of the background of these people.

After listening to them, the second uncle said to them:

"Now I will briefly introduce the content of the mission to you. We found a destroyer on the beach, but the destroyer is seriously damaged. Your task is to dismantle all the weapons on the destroyer that can be dismantled and used."

"If you can successfully complete this mission, you can leave the Fourth Outer City, go to the Second Outer City, and join the Mechanical Research Institute."

“The welfare benefits will be significantly improved.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of these seven or eight people lit up.

Due to the development of the oil city and the large camphor tree base, some technical problems will be encountered from time to time, which requires some expert guidance.

A large number of people have been transferred to the fields of medicine, biology, chemistry, and agriculture.

There are fewer and fewer experts left in the Fourth Outer City.

These weapons experts and ship experts finally got their chance.

As long as they can prove their abilities, they will be able to escape from their current prisoner-like status and become a Level 2 outer city personnel.

If the problem cannot be solved, they can only return to the Fourth Outer City and continue to do some basic research work assigned by the Mechanical Research Institute.

Moreover, they stayed in the fourth outer city and basically could not go anywhere and were under strict surveillance.

"What destroyer is it? Is it from China?" Liu Tianming asked excitedly.

"It's from the United States and was blown to the coast by the ocean current." replied my second uncle.

He looked at Liu Tianming and continued to ask: "What can we do about this?"

"Yes, I am very familiar with the destroyer's weapon system, but I need some tools and equipment, otherwise it will not be possible to dismantle it by manpower alone." Liu Tianming answered without hesitation.

The second uncle nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can find you any tools and equipment you need. Just make a list and I will help you find all the relevant tools when the time comes."

After saying this, he glanced at Song Min.

Song Min understood immediately, "Okay Minister, I will contact He Bing and others from the Military Industry Department for cooperation."

"Well, let them get ready. We will arrange for He Ma to send them to the Oil City this afternoon." The second uncle instructed.

"Yes."

After explaining all this, my second uncle left the fourth outer city.

Leaving behind Liu Tianming and others with excited faces, they have been restricted in the fourth outer city since they came here from the northern border and cannot go anywhere.

They can't even leave the research building or the living area.

And someone is watching them 24 hours a day.

They've had enough of this kind of life.

Now I finally have a chance to escape from this kind of life.

After leaving the fourth outer city, my second uncle came to the first duty room of the outer city wall as usual.

He still doesn't have a separate office and handles various affairs in the first duty room every day.

Here he can see the construction progress of the buffer city and the situation in the outer city.

But with the development over the years, he could no longer handle all the affairs by himself.

Therefore, after the last center meeting, power was decentralized, positions were assigned responsibilities, and different people were responsible for different sections. While enjoying corresponding rights, they also assumed corresponding responsibilities.

Things like the construction of the big camphor tree base were basically handed over to Ding Jiu and Jie Changshan.

The planting area was handed over to Anya and Zhang Qiwu.

After these more important positions were arranged, my second uncle felt a lot more relaxed than before.

Recently, I only need to review some reported orders and give a reply every day.

Compared with his second uncle, Li Yu's job is much simpler.

Often, they would only look for him when there were major issues that the second and third uncles could not decide.

The entire camphor tree base is like a large company, with everyone doing their own job.

Li Yu basically does not need to participate in various specific affairs in the Big Camphor Tree. His existence is more like a spiritual symbol of the Big Camphor Tree base.

In order to maintain his influence in the team, Li Yu would occasionally appear in the combat area or show up in the oil city.

But it is rare for him to lead the team into battle personally.

As soon as Second Uncle returned to the First Duty Room, Cai Dandan in the duty room came over and reported:

"President, the city lord just went out. He went to inspect the iron mine in Xunwu County."

Cai Dandan was originally from the patrol team, but was later transferred to work for her second uncle as his full-time secretary.

Now the Oil City, the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base, and the three borders of the North are all under the management of my second uncle. Even though the power is now decentralized and the positions are clear, many decisions still need to be approved by my second uncle.

The second uncle thought for a while and said:

"Okay, I understand. Ask the operator to contact Oil City and tell them that the weapons experts will be arriving this afternoon."

Cai Dandan nodded and said:

"Okay, let me report to you the latest developments from Oil City:"

"1. The two people sent to the northwest have arrived in Lan City and encountered Ma Laoliu's men, but they avoided a direct conflict and are now heading towards Wu City."

"2. The turnover points of the trading market have reached 10. Now three more stores have applied to open for business."

"3. The Golden Tiger Gang was completely wiped out in the trading market. The number of survivors entering the city yesterday increased by %. The record high in turnover is related to this."

"4. Huang Guangyuan, the director of the trading market, proposed to hold an outdoor movie at the trading market every Saturday and asked the headquarters for their opinions."

"and many more."

The second uncle interrupted Cai Dandan and asked:
"You just mentioned the open-air cinema at the trade fair. How was it?"

Cai Dandan quickly said:
"The effect was very good. The movie was very popular. Although the movie was very loud, it was not affected by the high walls and ultraviolet lights."

The second uncle nodded:

"Well, the spiritual civilization construction and the improvement of the recognition of the Oil City are quite interesting. This Huang Guangyuan is really good at doing some fancy things."

"allow."

"At the same time, please record it and ask Song Min to prepare at the headquarters base and hold an outdoor movie."

"receive."

Generally speaking, the oil city is a place for trial and verification. Once it is determined that the method there is feasible, it can be copied immediately at the headquarters base.

With the trading bazaar leading the way, there is no need to take any risks in reforming the large camphor tree base.

You can just use the good ones for learning, and discard the ones that don’t work well.
