Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1653: Stockpiling charcoal. I am a level 2 personnel, why should I worry?

An hour and a half later.

Ten helicopters took off from the Oil City helipad.

Xiao Jun brought six helicopters from the headquarters base, and four helicopters were transferred from the Oil City, leaving ten helicopters to defend the Oil City in case of emergency.

In the trading market.

Hong Shixiong was walking out of a shop on the side street that had not yet been rented out when he saw ten helicopters in the sky.

He exclaimed: "The strength of this oil city is hard to predict, how many planes does it have?"

Hong San who was standing next to him came out and asked:

"Brother, how about this store? Do you want to take it over?"

Hong Shixiong hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let's take a look. What you said before about setting up a stall to tell fortunes is not very reliable. The small commodity 0.1 point store that Abao proposed is quite interesting."

“But we have to find a way to get the supply.”

"Boss, I have a new idea." Hong San said.

"Speak." Hong Shixiong glanced at Hong San.

Hong San said, "Insurance, we can sell insurance in the trading market. Besides, no one is doing this right now, so there is no competition! We can launch personal accident insurance, pension insurance, and all kinds of insurance. I think this is promising."

A Bao came over and said:

"If we get insurance, will we be unable to afford the compensation?"

Hong Shixiong frowned and said:

"Well, insurance is fine in peacetime, after all, the chances of accidents are very low. In the apocalypse, the payout ratio is too high. We might even lose everything if we sell insurance."

"No."

Hong San quickly explained:
"We can first research the mortality rate of people on missions outside. Then we can set the corresponding price, make plans and expectations, so that we can ensure that we don't lose money."

When Hong Shixiong heard him say this, he didn't want to undermine his confidence.

"Okay, then go and do some research and tell me how to do it in detail."

"You can't just say that since no one else in the trading market is doing insurance, we can do it. You have to do some research and analysis first to see if we can earn points by doing this business. Don't end up working for nothing and losing all our remaining points."

"Okay." Hong San nodded.

"Brother, now that you are out, please take us to the next shop for sale." Hong Shixiong said to the sales staff of the trading market who came out from behind.

Xiao Zhang from the sales department was full of impatience, "Hong Shixiong, I've shown you three units, and you haven't made up your mind yet? I have other people who want to see the store later."

"Brother Zhang, please take us to see another one, just one. Our points are limited. Do you have a smaller storefront?" Hong Shixiong said with a flattering look on his face.

This is different from before the apocalypse, when sales staff who rented out shops had to curry favor with customers.

The current sales department staff are all formal third-level non-staff personnel.

Receive points and benefits from Oil City.

Relatively high status.

Moreover, there is a shortage of housing in the commercial area of ​​the trading market.

All the shops on the main street have been rented out, and the two side streets that were just completed have not been renovated yet, but most of them have also been rented out.

Brother Zhang opened the thumbnail of the commercial district and found a store that was only a dozen square meters.

"No. 45, Second Vice Street. This one is smaller. I'll take you there."

"Okay, thank you." Hong Shixiong clasped his fists in thanks.

After lying down and playing around for a few months, the three entrepreneurial guys had less and less points in their hands. Seeing that they would not be able to eat up all the points for long, they began to get anxious.

But they don't want to work to earn points, nor do they want to go out and take risks to carry out missions.

So they decided to open a store in a commercial district and earn some points to maintain their current expenses.

When Xiao Jun, Ant and others were leaving the oil city by helicopter,
It wasn’t just people at the trade fair who saw it.

People near the trading market also saw it.

There are fir forests around Nanwan Lake.

Sizzling--sizzling--

The sound of chainsaws sawing wood continued to come from the fir forest.

Some workers used chain saws to cut down the trees, while dozens of people behind them cut the felled wood into pieces of two or three meters long.

Hundreds more workers carried the wood onto trucks.

crunch--

Several transport trucks that had just unloaded wood and were returning here empty stopped here.

Zhou Zhisheng, with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, jumped down from the passenger seat skillfully.

After seeing Zhang Rufeng sitting on a wooden stake not far away, he ran up the hillside in small steps.

After he got off the truck, the workers who were carrying the wood walked to the truck, lowered the railing of the truck bed, and started loading and carrying the wood.

Zhou Zhisheng trotted to Zhang Rufeng and saw a round wooden stake placed next to Zhang Rufeng. The surface of the stake was smooth and it was cut particularly smoothly by a chainsaw.

On top of the log were a few pieces of candy and some smoked beef jerky.

Zhou Zhisheng unceremoniously picked up a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Don't." Zhang Rufeng saw Zhou Zhisheng taking his smoked beef jerky and hurriedly stopped him.

But it was too late, the beef jerky was stuffed into Zhou Zhisheng's mouth.

"Captain Zhang, this beef jerky is a bit hard and gets stuck in your teeth," Zhou Zhisheng complained while biting the beef jerky.

Zhang Rufeng glared at him, then with a wave of his arm, swept all the beef jerky and candy on the log into a cloth bag.

In case Zhou Zhisheng takes his snacks.

"Where's your face? You're fucking starting to steal my stuff, aren't you?"

Zhou Zhisheng took out the half-chewed beef jerky from his mouth and said, "Captain, I'll give it back to you. I thought our relationship was good enough that we could share it with each other."

Zhang Rufeng saw this and said impatiently:
"Go, go, go, I'm so annoyed every day."

"Hehe." Zhou Zhisheng stuffed the beef jerky back into his mouth and asked with a bulging mouth:

"Where are Guitou and Taishan?"

Zhang Rufeng pointed to the surroundings and said, "We are on guard against zombies."

"oh oh."

Their militia brigade has been in charge of logging in recent months.

They don't have to cut down trees, there are special lumberjacks working here.

But when a chainsaw cuts through wood, it makes a huge noise, and some zombies are bound to hear the sound and come closer.

So their main task is to protect the loggers and safely escort the transport trucks loaded with wood back to the trading market.

The initial purpose of cutting down these woods was to make beds and wooden furniture.

After a thunderstorm disaster, the accommodation environment for residents in the trading market needs to be improved.

After all, there was not even a bed, and the survivors could only sit on the cold ground.

There are no doors or windows.

During the thunderstorm disaster, many survivors stayed in such harsh conditions for several months.

A small number of survivors starved to death or froze to death in residential buildings.

So as soon as the natural disaster was over, they started cutting wood, making wooden beds, and repairing windows and doors.

Zhang Rufeng looked at the ten helicopters flying to the north in the sky, which was quite spectacular.

They were not far from the trading market, so they could see the helicopter.

"Wow, something must have happened in the north again. So many helicopters were dispatched at once." Zhang Rufeng exclaimed in amazement.

Zhou Zhisheng had just returned from the trading market, so he was more clear. He said:

"Didn't you see helicopters flying over from the headquarters at noon? There seemed to be six of them."

"I saw it, so I said something might have happened in the North."

Zhang Rufeng lifted her hair up, "Right."

"How are the beds in the residential building in the Trade Market doing now?"

Zhou Zhisheng thought for a moment and said:
"I just asked Director Wen, and he said that the first and second-tier residential buildings have been fully equipped, and 70 to 80 percent of the third-tier wooden beds have been laid out."

"It is estimated that in a week or so, all residential buildings in the trading market will have beds."

"Oh, the speed is pretty good, faster than expected." Zhang Rufeng said with a smile.

Zhou Zhisheng swallowed the remaining beef jerky in his mouth in one breath.

"Captain Zhang, we have already cut down all the wood from these two mountains. There is already enough wood piled up in the trading market to make beds, but the higher-ups are pushing us even harder."

"I just saw Director Wen and his team transporting the wood to the incinerator in the industrial zone. I heard they were going to make charcoal. Tsk tsk, it's a pity to make charcoal with such good wood."

Zhang Rufeng listened to Zhou Zhisheng's chattering and did not stop him from continuing.

He took out a candy from the cloth bag, which was a welfare given to them by the headquarters base during the Chinese New Year last year.

There was so much food that he has been eating it till now.

"Captain Zhang, I feel like the situation is a little tense right now."

"Oh? How do you mean?" Zhang Rufeng looked at him with interest.

Zhou Zhisheng looked at the trucks at the foot of the mountain. They were still loading wood and estimated that they would not be able to finish loading in a short time, so he sat down.

"First, we have started to build boilers at the trading market. I heard that they will also lay heating pipes. Why didn't they lay heating pipes before, but are they laying them now?"

"Secondly, the transport team has been coming more frequently recently. The number of tanker trucks delivering oil to the headquarters base is higher than before, which means that the headquarters is stockpiling oil."

"Third, the wood that the wood products factory needs has already been gathered. Look at the wood piled up next to the wood products factory. It's piled up to more than ten meters high. They are still stockpiling it. Now they have started to burn charcoal."

"So, based on these orders issued by the upper echelons, I guess that there may be a natural disaster in the near future, and it is very likely to be related to the cold weather."

Zhang Rufeng was delighted when he heard this.

"Oh, you, Old Zhou, are quite smart. You can guess this."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhisheng looked at Zhang Rufeng and asked, "Captain Zhang, you knew this! Why didn't you tell us?"

Zhang Rufeng smiled and said:

"I'm not allowed to tell anyone about it. I'm afraid it will spread and cause chaos in the trading market. Don't tell anyone else either."

"I know, what does it say specifically?" Zhou Zhisheng asked.

After all, as the captain of the militia brigade, Zhang Rufeng needs to prepare supplies to survive the natural disaster, and he will also let his superiors know so that they can pay more attention to the subsequent preparations.

Zhang Rufeng thought about it and decided that since Lao Zhou had already guessed it, there was no problem in telling him.

So he said:

"A few days ago, the Natural Disaster Research Institute at the headquarters released a message about possible natural disasters caused by the accumulation of clouds."

Zhang Rufeng told Zhou Zhisheng the general content.

After listening to this, Zhou Zhisheng suddenly realized:

"No wonder our trading market is stockpiling coal, wood, and food. It turns out it's for this reason..."

Recently, the progress of coal mining around the trading market has accelerated a lot, and every day, vehicles loaded with coal enter the storage area of ​​the trading market.

Moreover, the amount of food transported from the headquarters base seems to be a lot more than before.

The last time I heard from the Imperial Concubine, she said that she was going to the northern border to transport grain to the Oil City.

"Tsk tsk, Captain Zhang, it feels like a storm is coming." Zhou Zhisheng sighed.

Zhang Rufeng stood up and stretched.

"Who cares? Anyway, we are now Level 2 personnel. Even if a natural disaster comes, we can still be fine."

"That's right." Zhou Zhisheng nodded.

The two stood halfway up the hill, overlooking the logging site.

All the redwood trees on the mountains have been cut down.

The entire mountain forest was bare of wooden stakes.

Not long ago, they were promoted to Level 2 personnel.

After I got promoted, I realized how great it is to be a second-level employee!

Second-level personnel have a very high status in the trading market.

According to the nature of the Dazhangshu forces, they have always been very good to their own people.

Level 2 personnel are completely different from level 3, 4, and 5 personnel.

He is an absolute core member of the big camphor tree base.

Apart from anything else, you can live in the highest-end residential buildings in the trading market for free, and living in the oil city is also free.

Food and accommodation are all included, and the food is good and the accommodation is the best.

In addition, there are other benefits.

This is the civil servant of the last days.

The benefits they enjoy are more than one level higher than those of level three personnel.

Today’s second-level personnel are issued contribution points every month.

Points are added to their cards every month.

This part of points is a fixed number every month, and they also get other points for completing tasks.

For example, they can also earn points by going out to protect lumberjacks.

All second-level personnel, combined with the guaranteed points salary, can earn an average of 120 points per month.

Based on the calculation that workers working at the trade fair construction site earn an average of 0.6 points per day, they can earn 18 points per month.

But the second-level staff earns six or seven times more than them!
You know, the position of a construction worker on a construction site is already envied by many survivors.

Because it’s a construction site, meals are provided!

People like Zhang Rufeng now have free food and accommodation, and can also spend money freely.

Even so,

They can accumulate hundreds of points a month, which is no big deal.

Not only the welfare benefits of second-level personnel have been improved, but the welfare benefits of third-level personnel have also been improved.

Many years ago, the third-level personnel of the Dazhangshu force could only ensure that they would not starve to death, and had no surplus food at all for them.

Especially in times of natural disasters, no Level 3 personnel will starve to death.

But nowadays, the benefits enjoyed by level three personnel are far better than before.

Not to mention the second-level personnel.

The reason why this can be done is that it all stems from the Dazhangshu headquarters base and the northern border. The scale of crop planting has expanded in the past two years, and grain production has skyrocketed every quarter!

The workers in the trading market can be supported, not to mention the higher-level third-level non-staff members.

Not to mention the second level personnel.

This was the most comfortable period of time that Zhang Rufeng had lived since the end of the world.

Level 2 personnel, absolutely worry-free!
No matter what happens in the future, they firmly believe that as long as the Dazhangshu headquarters base is there,
They are not afraid of anything.

Zhang Rufeng looked at the direction where the helicopter was moving away and murmured in his heart:

"I hope everything goes well in the North."
