Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1685 You are too late
319 National Highway.

The former camphor tree base was inside the country road, a few hundred meters along the road.

On an inconspicuous path on a country road, behind a forest.

But with the expansion of the large camphor tree base in recent years, it now covers the rural roads, and even the buffer city wall extends to the national highway outside.

Zhao Bin’s transport convoy approached the large camphor tree base.

Lu Kuan and others on the truck bed were here for the first time in all these years.

A majestic city wall stretches along the national highway like a giant dragon.

There is a thin purple-blue light strip on the city wall, which looks solemn and sci-fi under the gray sky.

The city walls are tall and the surface of the concrete walls is smooth and fine, making them look very solid.

From bottom to top, there are three sharp gate lines that divide the city wall into three parts.

There are many watchtowers on the city walls.

There are armed guards on every watchtower. Each of them is tall and mighty, with dignity in their indifferent eyes.

After seeing this scene, Lu Kuan and others were so shocked that they forgot to breathe.

"Brother Lu Kuan, is this the big camphor tree base? It's so big!" Aishan asked while sitting on the truck bed, swallowing his saliva.

"It should be the big camphor tree base." Lu Kuan was also a little surprised after seeing it.

He didn't expect the camphor tree base to be so big. It looked like it was at least several hundred acres.

Fang Shun looked thoughtful, "This wall is probably more than 30 meters high."

As the vehicle approached the wall and drove along the national road, they still did not see the end of the wall.

This means that the camphor tree base is larger than they thought!
The vehicle drove along the national highway for several hundred meters and then stopped.

There were hundreds of cars lined up in front of us, entering the city wall of the Dazhangshu buffer city.

They sit on the truck bed and can see farther.

This national highway runs north-south, and they came down from the north.

I saw a huge open space in front of me, and on the south side of the open space, there was a long line of cars.

After waiting for five minutes, the convoy began to move.

Lu Kuan looked at the huge camphor tree base, which somewhat overturned his previous impression of the base.

He didn't expect that the camphor tree base would be so huge and there would be so many people.

The city gate.

An electric gate stopped the vehicles, and they had to wait for the convoy inside to pass security before they could get their turn.

However, the inspection speed in the city wall was also very fast.

After only seven or eight minutes, they were released.

The electric gate at the city gate moved to both sides. A man holding a sign held the sign in one hand and gestured to vehicles to go inside with the other hand.

boom--

The car that Lu Kuan and his companions were in drove inside.

There are four lanes in total, but they used the lane reserved for freight.

Each channel has several checkpoints where vehicles are inspected and registered.

The first checkpoint is to check whether there are any dangerous explosive items on the vehicle and whether there are any zombies under the vehicle.

At the second checkpoint, all people on the bus must get off and be inspected to rule out the risk of infection for those entering, and a special person will get on the bus to inspect the cargo.

high speed.

After Zhao Bin got off the car, he turned around and shouted to Lu Kuan and others on the truck bed:

"Get out of the car and get checked."

As he spoke, he and his co-pilot team member walked towards the tester.

Lu Kuan and others got out of the car quickly.

This detector is similar to the one used at airports. After a person passes through a door, an inspector will scan the person with the device.

After Zhao Bin and others passed the test, they stood behind and waited for them.

"You also have to take off your luggage and backpacks for security check." Zhao Bin reminded them when he saw that they didn't take anything.

While they were going through security check, Zhao Bin jogged all the way to the main control booth of Wengcheng.

In the main control booth, there is a row of cameras showing images of various checkpoints in the city.

Tuk Tuk——

Zhao Bin knocked on the door.

The door opens.

A staff member in the monitoring control room looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

"I am a level 34 personnel from Group 3, responsible for transporting sand and stone materials. On the way back, I met a few survivors. One of them knew Supervisor Yu. I would like to ask Supervisor Yu if I want to go over and take a look?" Zhao Bin said quickly.

The monitoring room staff pointed to the city entry registration office in the distance and said:

"Manager Yu has gone to the registration office. You can go there to find him later."

"Okay, thank you." Zhao Bin nodded, turned and left.

The urn city at the camphor tree base is exactly the same as the urn city at the trading market.

Basically, everyone entering the buffer city must go through security checks. After passing the weighing scale, the number of vehicles and the weight of sand and gravel transported by these transporters will be recorded, and they will be given corresponding points based on this.

The location of the registration desk is very important.

It involves the contribution points determination of all level 3 and 4 personnel.

The person sitting in this position before was Jia Tan, but because Jia Tan was corrupt and maliciously withheld the points of level 4 personnel, and also because of treason, he was killed by Li Yu.

Therefore, Li Yu arranged Lai Dongsheng, whom he trusted more, to take charge of this position.

After waiting at the security checkpoint for three minutes, Zhao Bin picked up Lu Kuan and several others, but did not let them get on the car.

Because the next checkpoint is to pass the scale to weigh the truck.

When they left the city, they registered the number of people and the weight of the empty vehicle. Now that they are returning, they require the same number of people on the vehicle so that they can calculate the weight of the sand and gravel cargo.

After passing the weighbridge, we arrived at the registration office.

There are seven or eight staff members at the registration office, lined up in a row. A long corridor has been built here. These staff members are under the corridor, each with a computer, registering the information of people entering the city.

Their registration speed is very fast.

The person in charge who transports the goods in from outside only needs to take the number plate, compare it with the tonnage just borne by the scale, and then put the points on the number card, and then he can leave.

Two of the windows are specifically for registering new members.

Zhao Bin handed the number plate to Yaoji and asked him to register and sign on his behalf.

He took Lu Kuan and others to the registration office for new members on the right.

There is no need to queue at the newlyweds registration office, so they can go straight to the process.

"Where is Manager Yu?" Zhao Bin asked the registration staff inside.

The registrar glanced at him and asked, "What's up?"

"Someone new knows him."

Upon hearing this, the registration staff turned around and shouted towards the lounge at the back:
"Manager Yu, someone is looking for you."

In the lounge, Yu Lei was smoking and chatting with Lai Dongsheng. When they heard the registration staff's call, they hurried out.

Lai Dongsheng who was behind also walked out.

"Who's looking for me?" Yu Lei looked outside the registration desk curiously.

The registration desk was separated from the outside by a layer of glass, so they could see what was happening outside from inside.

"He's looking for you." The registrar pointed at Zhao Bin and said.

Zhao Bin waved his hand.

"Manager Yu, this is what happened. I met a few people on my way back. They said they knew you. See if you know them."

He mainly thought that if Lu Kuan and Yu Lei knew each other, he could bring them over to at least improve his impression in front of Supervisor Yu.

As he said this, he pulled Lu Kuan who was behind him over.

Lu Kuan looked embarrassed and looked at Yu Lei inside.

Yu Lei seems to have not changed much from a few years ago, still looks the same.

But Lu Kuan has changed a lot compared to a few years ago.

Moreover, we only met once that year, so I didn't have a deep impression.

Yu Lei stared at Lu Kuan and tried to recall the past for a long time but still couldn't recognize him.

"Who are you?" Yu Lei asked tentatively.

He really didn't recognize it.

Hearing Yu Lei say this, and with Zhao Bin next to him looking at him with something strange in his eyes, Lu Kuan felt even more embarrassed.

"Manager Yu, my name is Lu Kuan. We met four years ago at the Electric Power Building in Ji City. You mentioned the camphor tree base to us at that time."

Yu Lei took two steps forward and stood in front of the registration desk, looking at Lu Kuan carefully.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't remember what Lu Kuan looked like.

However, he remembered that he often went to Ji City to search for supplies a few years ago.

"Oh~ Lu Kuan, I seem to have some impression of you. Why did you come to the big camphor tree base just now?" Yu Lei asked.

He had seen them a few years ago, but they only came now, which made him a little confused.

Yu Lei's "Oh" has a very long tail sound, and it's obvious that he's pretending to remember something while not remembering it.

Lu Kuan blushed a little and replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, and because of some things..."

Yu Lei nodded. He didn't intend to get to the bottom of the matter. Everyone has different ideas. Some people like freedom, while others want to seek stability.

It seems that these people in front of us can no longer stay outside, so they think of coming to the big camphor tree base.

"Okay, welcome to the camphor tree base."

Yu Lei thought for a moment and said:

"It is the right decision to come to the Dazhangshu Base. You will not regret it in the future."

"Xiao Song, register them." Yu Lei turned his head and looked at the registrar standing next to him.

"Okay, Manager Yu." The registrar Xiao Song said quickly.

After Yu Lei finished speaking, he gave up the registration seat and Xiao Song quickly sat down.

Manager Yu was right behind him, and this was a great opportunity to show off.

Xiao Song straightened up and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, what is the name of your team?"

"Name?" Lu Kuan was a little confused. They didn't have one at all.

"If you don't have one, you can just pick one now," Xiao Song added.

Lu Kuan looked at the four team members behind him, thought for a few seconds and then said:

"Let's call it the Five-Man Squad."

"Ok."

After completing the registration, Lu Kuan took the red number plate handed to him and followed Zhao Bin with Aishan and others.

Zhao Bin turned his head and glanced at Lu Kuan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Yu Lei's reaction to him just now clearly showed that he was not familiar with him, or even didn't know him.

Damn, I thought he and Yu Lei were really familiar with each other.

Forget it.

Zhao Bin reminded out of good intentions:
"After you enter the city, go find the people wearing green vests inside the city. They will then take you to familiarize you with the situation inside."

Lu Kuan said gratefully: "Thank you."

"It doesn't matter."

Crunchy——

The buffer city fence opens.

The vehicle in front drove in, Zhao Bin climbed into the car and left a message.

"I still have to unload the goods, you guys go in by yourselves."

After saying that, he drove into the buffer city.

Lu Kuan led Aisan and the other three and walked inside with some trepidation.

Only after entering the buffer city did they see the scene inside.

Cars are like running water and horses are like dragons.

There are buildings rising from the ground, people coming and going, and a tall crane in the distance with workers working on it.

A scene of prosperity and thriving.

Let them watch with great pleasure.

What surprised them even more was that there was an even taller wall standing further away.

"Brother, what's inside that wall?" Aisan asked puzzledly.

"I don't know." Lu Kuan shook his head. He really didn't know.

Although he knew about the Big Camphor Tree Base early on, he actually didn't know much about the situation at the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The large camphor tree base in front of him overturned his previous imagination.

This is completely different from the Jiefang City back then, as big as the difference between a village and a city.

Just from what they saw, there were at least two thousand people.

I really don’t know how many people are inside the big camphor tree base.

Then, Lu Kuan looked to the right and saw a man wearing a green vest.

Remembering Zhao Bin’s reminder just now, he walked over.

"Hello, we are new here. What shall we do next?"

Before he could finish his words, the Buffer City patrolman wearing a green vest said impatiently:
"Didn't you see the warning sign in the city just now?"

He pointed at the notice board next to him and said:
"Instructions for entering the city, go over there and see."

"The buffer city guide map and the entry process are all written over there. Please read the pictures and text carefully."

"Ahem, thank you." Lu Kuan blushed a little. He had been thinking about something and didn't notice the slogans and prompts posted everywhere in the city.

"Forget it." I'll take you to report to the accommodation department.

The man in the vest handed the sign in his hand to the person next to him and pulled up his trousers.

He placed his hand on the pistol bag and said, "Erlong, I'll leave this to you. I'll take them over."

"Okay, team leader."

Ding Ming, the first team leader of the third squad of the patrol squadron, nodded and said to Lu Kuan and others behind him:
"Come with me, quickly."

Lu Kuan and his companions quickly packed their bags and followed Ding Ming closely.

But at this moment, several people in black combat uniforms walked towards them.
When Ding Ming saw the man in the lead, he quickly stood up straight.

"Hello, Director!"

Lao Lu is the director of the Security Department of the Dazhangshu faction. The Security Department consists of three departments: the patrol brigade, the internal security brigade, and the assault team.

At this moment he was on his way to inspect the security issues at the buffer city wall.

Old Lu nodded at him and glanced at Lu Kuan and others behind him, but did not pay much attention to them.

Just a glance and then no longer pay attention.

Just as I was about to continue walking forward, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Captain Lu!" Lu Kuan widened his eyes and looked at Lu Cheng in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Lu Cheng, the captain of the guard team that liberated the city five or six years ago, was also here.

This is really outrageous.

They were all in Jiefang City before, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Lu Cheng's children are about the same age as his own children back then. They lived two buildings next to each other in Jiefang City and often met each other.

When Lao Lu heard the name, he was a little surprised.

The title of Captain Lu was used by people other than those armed police officers who followed him and those people in Jiefang City. But he was rarely called that anymore after that.

At the big camphor tree base, everyone calls him Director Lu, or just Director.

"Who are you?" Old Lu looked puzzled and looked at Lu Kuan carefully. He seemed to have seen him before, but he couldn't remember who he was.

Lu Kuan took two steps forward and said quickly:

"As for me, Lao Lu and Lu Kuan, we used to live next door to each other in Jiefang City. My wife used to bring your Zifei with her often!"

"Lu Kuan?" Old Lu recalled for a while and gradually formed an impression.

The appearance of Lu Kuan in her memory gradually overlapped with the appearance of the man in front of her.

Old friend from Jiefang City!
In the past, his daughter often played with Lu Kuan's children. He could often see Lu Kuan and would say hello when they met.

"Lu Kuan, I remember now, it's you! How did you become like this?"

"Where did you go when Jiefang City collapsed?"

Seeing that Lao Lu remembered him, Lu Kuan said excitedly:

"I went to Ji City and also stayed in Xing County for a while."

"Then why didn't you come to the camphor tree base earlier? It's so close."

"Well, it's a long story. When Jiefang City collapsed, my child and wife died in the turmoil. After that, I didn't want to join any forces." Lu Kuan became sad when he mentioned this.

The look in Old Lu's eyes when he looked at him also became somewhat sympathetic.

"I understand, but you really should have come to the camphor tree base earlier. There are still many people from Jiefang City here, Bai Jie, Xiao Shi, Anya and the others are all here."

"Bai Jie?" Lu Kuan thought for a long time before he remembered who Bai Jie was.

"You guys came too late."

Old Lu looked at Lu Kuan and felt a little sad.

The people who came out of Jiefang City that year scattered everywhere.

Some people joined the early camphor tree base, and now the worst have become level 2 outer city personnel, and most of them are level 1 inner city personnel.

When Lu Kuan joined at this time, he was only a level 4 staff member. Even if he was taken care of, he could only be a level staff member at most.

It's not as easy to climb up now as before.

You need to pass various task assessments and upgrade based on your contributions.

When Lao Lu first joined, there wasn't even an outer city.

If the Dazhangshu Base is a company, Lao Lu is actually equivalent to the original shareholder and holds the original shares.

And Lu Kuan's joining at this moment is actually a bit like a company that has raised funds in rounds of ABCDEF and has already rung the bell to go public, and Lu Kuan and his team just bought stocks.
