Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

In order to prevent gasoline from spilling onto the wall corridor, they would place the sprayer close to the buffer city wall and spray outwards in the summer.

After Xia Tian got Fang Jingxin's reply, he used the torch he had prepared in advance, put it on the spray nozzle and dipped it in some gasoline.

Then the torches were lit with fire.

The snow fell on the torches, making crackling sounds.

Gasoline is difficult to dissolve in water and is lighter than water, so it can still burn even if it is poured into water.

Xia Tian held the torch tightly, aimed at the location outside the buffer city where gasoline had just been sprayed, and swung it over with all his strength.

Wuwuwu——

The torches spun in the air and fell onto the snow outside.

In an instant, the torch touched the gasoline, and a low "hiss" sound was heard.

Immediately, a burst of flames shot out from the snow and quickly spread in all directions.

The flames danced as if they had life, greedily devouring the gasoline and dyeing the snow orange-red.

The fire lit up the sky, giving the surrounding snow scene a layer of orange fantasy.

The fusion of snow and fire, the collision of cold and heat, creates an otherworldly beauty in this moment.

The snow began to melt, steam rose, and interweaved with the flames to form a picture of movement and stillness.

The snow dripped down, mixed with the gasoline on the ground and evaporated quickly, making a slight sound. The flames looked even brighter against the snow.

Soon, the flames spread to all the places where the gasoline was sprayed.

As the fire burned, the snow below continued to melt.

When they pushed the sprayer forward for hundreds of meters, the snow behind them had collapsed and sunk one meter.

Snow is inherently fluffy, and the volume ratio of the same weight of snow and water can reach 10:1.

The higher the snow pile is, the more the snow on top will sink due to the weight pressure, thus compacting the snow.

And now gasoline has been sprayed and the fire has been lit.

The flames melted the snow, and water is much heavier than snow.

Hua Hua Hua——

Large areas of fluffy snow were collapsing and sinking downwards, and as time passed, the rate of sinking was getting faster and faster.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the snow level drop in the summer.

He hates winter the most.

Tread-tap-

At this moment, Fang Jingxin from below hurriedly ran up.

"How's the effect?"

As he spoke, Fang Jingxin lay on the edge of the wall and looked outside.

"Not bad. Look at the front section. The snow has sunk a lot." Xia Tian said to Fang Jingxin.

The tanker truck below and the sprayer above move forward side by side and must remain consistent, otherwise the length of the oil pipe will not be enough.

Xia Tian was watching both the upper and lower sides at the same time. Once the tanker truck below slowed down, he would ask the people pushing the sprayer to slow down as well, coordinating the work up and down.

The sprayer does not move very fast, maintaining the speed of a normal adult walking, about five kilometers per hour.

The buffer city wall covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres and has a circumference of nearly 20,000 meters.

20 kilometers, at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour, it would take nearly hours of continuous spraying.

The flames below continued to spread wherever the sprayer sprayed.

During these few hours, there were four stops to replace the oil tanker below the oil pipeline.

Eighty tons of gasoline were sprayed outside the buffer city and ignited.

Four and a half hours later, they were back where they started.

But there are still 40 tons of gasoline left.

After returning to the starting point, the gasoline here had already been burned out, and a layer of black and yellow sediment covered the white snow.

In addition, the height of the snow also dropped from more than four meters to only more than one meter.

However, after the burning, the accumulated snow turned into water and was frozen into ice again due to the low temperature, forming an ice wall with a high density.

"Engineer Fang, there are still 40 tons of gasoline. Do you want to continue spraying?" Ding Meng's voice came from the intercom.

After seeing the sinking snow, Fang Jingxin picked up the intercom and replied:

"No need. The snow below has already solidified into ice. There's no need to spray it further. Let's save the gasoline."

"Okay, then I'll have someone finish work and take the gasoline back." Ding Meng replied.

"it is good."

Afterwards, Ding Meng ordered his men to close the gate of the tanker truck and unplug the connecting oil pipe.

Heading towards Oil City with the tanker truck.

More than one hundred tons of gasoline, this is a batch of extremely important supplies, so he, the captain of the combat brigade, was asked to lead the team personally.

Fang Jingxin looked at the collapsed snow and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the following scene was presented inside and outside the buffer city.

The buffer city wall is 8.5 meters high, with a depression in the middle that is about ten meters wide.

In areas where the sprayed gasoline was not burned, the snow was still more than four meters high.

It presents a shape of "concave".

If you calculate according to this method, it would work to use gasoline to ignite it later, but the effect will be smaller as time goes by.

Because the snow on the bottom layer has already frozen into ice, the bottom layer of ice will not be able to collapse next time.

By this calculation, this method should be able to last for about a month.

But can there really be a blizzard next month?
neither knows.

After this matter was settled, Fang Jingxin had the sprayer and the oil pipeline put away for future use.

In the trading market.

It's freezing cold.

People who are not working basically do not go out except to go to the market to buy food and go downstairs to fetch water.

In these tough winter days, for many people who have no job and can only live on savings points, the competition now is about who has saved more points.

The more points you have, the calmer you will be.

No one knows how long the ice disaster will last. Seeing the points balance on the number card decreasing day by day instead of increasing, many people are anxious.

This feeling of living off one's savings is very uncomfortable.

Especially for some people who had a job or completed some tasks earlier and received points, but spent lavishly, they now do not have many points and can only live a tight life.

They even hunkered down in the mission hall, looking for some missions to do.

There are relatively few such people.

After all, in the end times, most of the survivors have a sense of crisis and are accustomed to saving and hoarding.

However, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.

There are so many people, and there are all kinds of people.

A corner of the mission hall.

Jiang Chao, wearing a thick cotton jacket and a black knitted hat, huddled in a corner, staring at the big screen in the mission hall.

He has been here for two days and has not found a suitable job.

He signed up for the wall guard job and passed, after all, he was a level 4 member. But he was rejected during the physical examination.

During the last thunderstorm, he ran up there in a careless manner in order to save his life and luckily survived.

After the thunderstorm disaster passed, he finally welcomed spring.

He was brave enough to join the logging team, where he could earn 0.65 points a day, and food was provided.

In addition to the logging team, he also participated in the construction of the buffer city.

After working for half a year, he didn't save many points.

In theory, when participating in this kind of base engineering mission, meals are basically provided, and more than 0.5 points will be credited every day. If there is no other consumption in a year, you should be able to save 100 points.

The rental cost is extremely low. He lives in a mid-range B-class housing, which only costs 0.01 points a day, and less than 2 points in half a year.

And since he is a level 4 employee, if he is willing to lower the quality of his housing, he can go to the third level, which is level C housing, for free.

But he had been reluctant to go before, thinking it was cheap. As a proud fourth-level member, how could he live in the worst C-level housing? Most people at the same level as him lived in B-level housing.

However, he is a person who likes to play and visit prostitutes.

He was a frequent visitor to Tingfeng Tower, and he even took care of Da Mimi and Di Tongnaya.

Tingfeng Tower is a den of money, especially for these two top girls, the amount of points they spent is terrifying.

In addition, he likes to show off and often treats some co-workers to dinner and drinks.

As a result, after the heavy snowfall, all the original construction workers in the buffer city were laid off, and new personnel were selected to guard the wall and clear the snow.

He originally had the opportunity to participate, after all, he was a level 4 personnel.

The treatment of levels in Oil City is very obvious.

Generally, when recruiting workers, priority is given to those with higher levels, and they will only be dismissed if their physical fitness does not meet the standards.

Jiang Chao was just like that. He often went to bars and Tingfenglou, and he even sold the corn tortillas distributed to him at a low price in exchange for points to buy alcohol in order to drink more.

Over time, his health broke down.

During the physical examination for the snow sweeper recruitment, I was rejected due to my poor physical condition.

After buying a tortilla yesterday, he only had 0.1 points left on his points card. Now he can't even afford a tortilla.

If this continues, we will starve.

He ate the tortilla he bought yesterday for two days.

If he had a job before, he could finish a whole tortilla in one meal.

Jiang Chao looked at the text on the display and saw that it didn't change, so he finally gave up.

Even if there was a job, I don’t think he could handle it given his current health.

He stood up with a heavy heart. Having squatted for a long time, he felt a little dizzy when he stood up. He held on to the wall for a long time before he felt better.

Ugh.
What should I do?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"That guy Zhao Weiguo owes me two points. I'm going to ask him for them!"

"And Chai Gui, Wang Er and the others. I treated them to so many drinks before. If I ask them to lend me some points, they will lend me some for our past friendship!"

Thinking of this, his eyes became brighter.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in the task hall, I went back to collect some debts and borrow some points from others to help me get through this.

Thinking of this, he pulled down the knitted hat on his head, pushed open the curtain of the trading market mission hall and walked out.

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders and he shivered.

Although he was hungry, he had eaten the last piece of tortilla at noon today.

Rub, rub, rub——

Two snowplows passed by and he quickly avoided them.

Looking at the snowplow leaving, there was some envy in his eyes.

If I had a better physique, I would probably have a stable job now.

A few months ago, he was somewhat disgusted with the job of a construction worker because it was too tiring.

He wants a job that is not tiring but can earn him a lot of points. It would be best if he could earn points without doing anything.

But no matter how good his intentions are, reality will not change according to his will.

The job he used to dislike is now something he can't get.

Ugh.
He sighed again and walked over on the road where the snowplow had just passed.

The ground had just been cleared by a snowplow, so there was only a thin layer of freshly fallen snow, making it quite comfortable to walk on.

In horrible weather like this, if the snow is not cleared for a few hours, your shoes will easily sink into the snow when you step on it.

On the way, he saw many snowplows and trucks transporting snow. Around these vehicles, there were some workers holding shovels and cooperating with the work.

He locked his cotton jacket tightly and walked back to the residential area, one step deep and one step shallow.

Trading Mart Residential Area.

Area B.

Level 4 and 5 members live here.

Level 0.01 members only need 0.03~ points per day to stay here.
But level 0.1 members need 0.3 to points to live here.

The price has increased tenfold.

Although the average level 4 personnel do not have a particularly good life, at least compared to the vast majority of level 5 members, it is still relatively good.

But there are exceptions, like Jiang Chao, a level 4 member, who lives worse than the level 5 members.

There are also rich people among the fifth-level members.

For example, some people who open shops in commercial areas have a lot of points, so they don’t mind spending a few more points to exchange for a better living environment.

No matter in which aspects, the trading market favors people with high levels, such as: housing, medical care, work and so on.

They can spend fewer points and enjoy better treatment.

The reason for doing this is to encourage everyone to make more practical contributions and contribute to the development of the trading market.

Building 34, Block B, Room 302.

Jiang Chao pushed open the door and saw Zhao Weiguo sleeping in the quilt in the room.

"Who are you? You are not from our dormitory, are you? Get out quickly." A sturdy man sleeping near the door was awakened by the cold wind blowing in, and looked at Jiang Chao with an unhappy face.

Jiang Chao quickly closed the door and apologized repeatedly.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Zhao Weiguo."

The sturdy man saw that he had closed the door, so he didn't bother him. He pointed at Zhao Weiguo, who was sleeping on the upper bunk of bed three, and said, "That's him."

Jiang Chao clasped his fists towards the burly man to express his apology.

Then he walked straight towards Zhao Weiguo.

"Weiguo, wake up." Jiang Chao pushed Zhao Weiguo's shoulder.

"Who?"

Zhao Weiguo woke up from his sleep, turned over and saw Jiang Chao standing beside his bed.

"Hey! Brother Chao, are you free to come and play with me today? Why, are you planning to go to Tingfeng Tower again today? Take me with you. You invited Wang Er last time, it would be wrong not to invite me!"

Seeing the arrival of the courageous Jiang Chao, Zhao Weiguo suddenly became much more sober, with a smile on his face.

When Jiang Chao heard Zhao Weiguo's flattery, he couldn't help but show a little pride on his face.

"Okay, okay, buddy."

As Jiang Chao was talking, he felt something was wrong. He came here to collect the debt, so why did he have to treat him again?

its not right.

Soon, Jiang Chao reacted and coughed:
"Ahem, but I can't do that today. I have something else to talk to you about."

He felt that it was difficult to ask someone to return the points, as it would hurt the relationship between brothers.

So he didn't directly ask Zhao Weiguo to return the points to him, but was beating around the bush, thinking about how to get Zhao Weiguo to take the initiative to offer to return the points.

"Anything else?" Zhao Weiguo rolled his eyes and asked tentatively:

"What good job can you recommend?"

"No." Jiang Chao shook his head hesitantly.

After hearing him say no, Zhao Weiguo looked at Jiang Chao's condition and the clothes he was wearing.

He instantly understood why Jiang Chao was looking for him.

I secretly said:

Want points?
Damn it, I borrowed the points with my own ability, why should I return them to you?

His smile faded, and he said with a sad face:
"Brother Chao, I also have something I want to ask you for help with. You know I rarely ask for help from others."

When Jiang Chao heard this, he frowned and asked:
"What?"

"Lend me two points." Zhao Weiguo said directly.

His tone was full of self-righteousness, frankness and righteousness, as if it would be wrong not to lend it to him.
