Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1752 Huashan Old Taoist Priest

Huashan.

The white snow covers every corner of Mount Huashan.

The top of the steep mountain, covered in silver, appears even more desolate and mysterious.

After the wind and snow, the sky and the earth are clean and the air is filled with cold freshness.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and onto the snow-capped peaks, refracting dazzling light, as if the fairy light from heaven has descended to the earth.

Crystal clear icicles hang on the mountain walls, and occasionally they collapse due to gravity, making crisp sounds that echo in the silent valley.

In such a precipitous environment, vitality still tenaciously demonstrates its existence. The exposed pine branches are covered with snowflakes, like works of art carved from white jade, quietly telling of tenacity and indomitable spirit. Occasionally, a few mountain birds fly by, shaking off the snow on their feathers and singing clear and melodious songs, bringing a hint of vitality to this frozen world.

Climbing high and looking far away, the rolling sea of ​​clouds and the snow-capped peaks complement each other. Surrounded by clouds and mist, Huashan is like a fairyland, making people forget the worries of the world.

In this white world, every step is full of challenges and every breath is chilly. But it is this challenge that makes those who are brave enough to explore it more fascinated by the beauty of Huashan.

After the snowstorm, Huashan presented the most stunning scenery, leaving a lasting impression on those who were fortunate enough to witness it.

On the top of Mount Huashan, there is a Taoist temple standing on the edge of a cliff. The temple is not big, covering only half an acre of land.

Ji Ba stood in front of the Taoist temple, overlooking the snowy scenery in front of him. The mountains were surrounded by clouds and mist, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Everything before him looked like scenes in ancient paintings. He suddenly realized that the landscape paintings painted by the ancients were not freehand but realistic. They were so beautiful.

Just when Jiba was immersed in such a beautiful scenery, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a sage-like appearance came behind him.

"Qingfeng, go and collect some firewood." The old Taoist priest called softly to Jiba in front of him.

"Okay, Master." Jiba turned his head and saluted.

He turned and walked slowly towards the path beside him.

He set out from the Oil City before the ice disaster and arrived at Huashan, the place he had always dreamed of, after a bumpy journey.

He is different from others. He yearns for freedom, and to him freedom is even more important than life. If he wants to go somewhere, he will not wait until the next day but set off immediately, regardless of whether he can get there or not.

In the apocalyptic world, with zombies everywhere and a natural disaster about to break out, he still came out of the oil city. It can be said that he is a madman.

We encountered all kinds of setbacks and hardships along the way, but we finally got there.

However, when he was climbing Mount Hua, a strong wind blew up. Mount Hua is extremely steep, and in the strong wind, he almost fell off the cliff and died.

But, he was lucky and was rescued by an old Taoist priest.

Then he was taken to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

Strong winds blew for several days, and soon after, heavy snow fell.

The blizzard lasted for more than twenty days, and all the food in his backpack was used up.

When the blizzard first hit, he spent every day with the old Taoist priest and was impressed by his charm, so he asked to become his disciple.

The old Taoist priest was unwilling at first, so Ji Ba walked out of the small Taoist temple and knelt in the blizzard, looking as if he would not get up unless he was taken away.

The blizzard was so heavy that he knelt for a long time, and the snow outside buried his legs.

The old Taoist priest had no choice but to accept him as his own, fearing that he would die in the snowstorm. He also gave him a Taoist name, Qingfeng.

Jiba was so happy that he successfully became a disciple that day.

He walked along the path at the top of the hill, stepping on the wooden planks, until he came to a row of trees.

There have been heavy snowstorms these days, burying many trees at the foot of the mountain. However, the trees on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain were able to survive because they were right on the edge of the cliff and fell directly off the cliff when the snowstorm fell.

General Ji Ba pulled out his machete, chopped down a few Chinese pine trees, tied them together with ropes, and dragged the firewood towards the Taoist temple.

There was a strong and biting wind on the top of the mountain. Jiba was wearing a windbreaker and stepping on the snow.

The Chinese pine trees behind me were sliding across the snow, leaving traces.

Returned to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple was in ruins, with several holes, but they were all blocked with wood and stones.

There was a fire pit in the center with sparks burning on it.

slam-la-

Jiba dragged the pine tree in, broke off its branches and threw it into the fire pit.

There was still some snow on the pine branches, which made crackling sounds as they burned in the fire pit.

"Master, the blizzard has stopped. Where are you going to go next?"

The old Taoist raised his head and said with emotion:

"Natural disasters happen frequently, and people in this world have a hard time. When the snow melts, we will go down the mountain. As for where to go, I don't know. We will go wherever there are people."

"Do your best to save as many people as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ba stopped what he was doing.

"Master, I know where there are a lot of people. Have you heard of Oil City?"

"Oil City?"

The old Taoist shook his head and said:

"I haven't heard of it. Where is it?"

Jiba said excitedly:
"In Henan Province, Xinyang, there are more than 100,000 people! There are a lot of people there, and that oil city is the most prosperous and harmonious place I have ever seen under good governance."

"The Oil City is very powerful. I have met their manager, and he is quite righteous. They also have a trading market where survivors can go to hide from zombies and trade various supplies."

Hearing Ji Ba say this, the old Taoist became interested.

He has been to many places and visited many small groups, but when he returned, the bases of these small groups had all been destroyed.

I didn’t expect that in the end times, there would be a super large base with more than 100,000 people.

It is rare to achieve this.

"Tell me more about this oil city."

This blizzard is far more terrifying than any previous natural disaster.

Ten-meter-high snow covered the entire world with a thick white protective film.

There was no discrimination, whether it was zombies, buildings, trees, or everything was covered by the blizzard.

If it is in a mountainous or hilly area, it is not so bad, but the low-lying roads are covered with snow.

In some plain areas, large areas of buildings are covered with snow.

Even for a three-story house, you can't see the roof.

At this stage, there are only a handful of forces that can survive, but they all have strong ability to resist risks.

As for the general small and medium-sized forces, most of them were defeated by these natural disasters.

Especially this blizzard.

The survivors living in the city face the problem of heating. There is no firewood in the city, no energy for burning for heating, and there are many zombies in the city buildings.

If you live in the countryside or mountains far away from the city, there will be troubles too, and you always need a shelter.

The blizzard is so heavy, and most of the buildings in the countryside are low-rise. Such a heavy blizzard will definitely cause some houses to be buried in the snow.

They live in the countryside and can only go out to clear the snow in the freezing cold blizzards. The workload is huge, and over time, cases of frostbite and freezing to death occur frequently.

Some people even tried hard to clear the snow, but they were still unable to withstand the speed of the blizzard. They could only watch as the blizzard submerged their shelters. They were standing in the blizzard with nowhere to hide, and eventually froze to death.

Zhang City.

Zhou Songming stood on the rooftop in despair, overlooking the farm in front of him.

Finished!

It's all over!
This horrific blizzard not only buried and froze the open-air crops on the farm, but also collapsed two-thirds of the greenhouse they built as well.

He had tried his best to protect the greenhouses, but due to lack of manpower, the snow shoveling work was not done properly, resulting in the collapse of a large number of greenhouses.

The farms and ranches here supply the Northwest Base.

During this period, he did not dare to report the real situation here to the Northwest Headquarters Base.

Once the Northwest Headquarters Base finds out, Zhou Songming will have no way out.

Now, the snow has stopped.

"Let Anfeng take people to repair the greenhouse." Zhou Songming sighed and said to his men behind him.

"Yes." The subordinate was about to leave but was stopped by Zhou Songming.

"and many more."

"Everyone should keep their mouths shut and not let the situation in the northwest know about this. Otherwise, we will all be in trouble. Now that the snow has stopped, if we repair the damage and resume planting and production before the snow melts, we can still give an explanation."

The subordinate looked solemn and nodded, "Yes, I will warn them."

Zhou Songming waved his hand and let him leave.

Ugh.
This snowstorm caused heavy losses to the farms and ranches in Zhang City.

Since it is located in the hinterland of the northwest, Ma Laoliu of Wuyuan Mountain is guarding the east and resisting the zombies moving westward.

The farms and ranches in Zhang City are not protected by walls, but are surrounded by the simplest barbed wire or wooden fences.

Although they have experienced some losses due to natural disasters over the years, none of them were as serious as this one, which greatly disrupted their production.

In agriculture, production decreased by 80 percent.

The animal husbandry industry is slightly better, as all livestock are raised in farms. However, some farms collapsed under the weight of accumulated snow, causing some livestock to be frozen to death.

But this blizzard was really terrible.

It snowed for more than twenty days in a row, and it was a heavy snowstorm that was impossible to clear away.

The population in the northwest has always been sparse, and over the years, the population has only decreased and not increased.

Moreover, most of the population is concentrated in the Northwest Headquarters Base.

The five branch bases in the northwest have a population that is less than that of the headquarters base.

Oil City.

Trading market, at the main entrance.

Crowded.

The dense crowd lined up and passed through the city wall and headed to the buffer city.

in the crowd.

Sui Dahua followed the crowd to the buffer city.

"Old Xu, there are quite a few people participating in the construction of the greenhouse this time. Wow, look, there are people everywhere." Sui Dahua exclaimed to Xu Qingwen.

Xu Qingwen raised his head and looked around, and saw people everywhere.

He smacked his lips and said, "We recruited 20,000 construction workers at once, and there are also 2,000 transporters, thousands of supervisors, and dispatchers."

"With so many people involved in the construction, I'm afraid it will be a hassle to deploy the personnel. Fortunately, we are a small Karami."

"Hahaha."

Sui Dahua smiled when he heard this, and moved closer to Xu Qingwen, breathing out white mist and continuing:

"I just saw Jiang Chao, and his grandson actually came out too."

"Oh?"

Xu Qingwen asked in confusion, "Wasn't he rejected because of his poor physical fitness? This guy was so high-profile before, borrowing points everywhere without saving any points, and I ignored him."

"I don't know. I think he's in good condition." Sui Dahua replied.

"How did he manage to survive?" Xu Qingwen asked.

Sui Dahua whispered: "I heard that he seems to have gone into the sea."

Xu Qingwen's eyes widened. "What, him?"

"With his condition, anyone still wants him? Are you kidding me?"

"Besides, he is at least a level 4 member. It's outrageous for a level 4 member to be a duck in Tingfeng Tower!"

They were all level 4 personnel who had nothing to do in their residences all day during the icy disaster, so all kinds of gossip about people of the same level became their topics of conversation.

Jiang Chao is quite famous among the level four members.

It is said that he had been in the trading market for a long time, but during the freezing disaster he had to move to Area C. That would have been fine, but he didn't even have enough points to buy food.

He could only beg acquaintances to borrow money, but no one lent him money.

In desperation, Jiang Chao pawned his compound crossbow. After his points were used up, he pawned all the items stored in the warehouse in exchange for points.

Complete bankruptcy.

Later, his points were used up again, and he was not hired for a snow shovelling job when he signed up.

Finally, he was forced into no choice but to run to Tingfeng Tower to work as a duck.

Tingfeng Tower's business was not good during the blizzard, but someone like him who used to be quite high-profile ended up being a duck.

That would have been fine, Huizi from Tingfeng Tower accepted him, and there were actually people doing business with him.

Through this most humiliating means, he at least had points to buy food and survived.

He also worked out hard, eating two tortillas a day, and at least he was able to keep his body in good shape.

This time, the Buffer City greenhouse was being built, and he passed the physical fitness test and signed up to participate.

This surprised many people. Many people thought that he would continue to be a gigolo in Tingfeng Tower. After all, there was heating in Tingfeng Tower and he could make money just by lying down.

I've already gone into the sea, and now I'm running out to work in a greenhouse. It's so cold, and the points I earn are relatively not as many as those earned in Tingfeng Tower.

Following the crowd, Jiang Chao lowered his head and said nothing.

People in front, behind, and around him deliberately kept a distance from him.

Listening to the mocking comments from the people around him, Jiang Chao clenched his fists and walked forward with gritted teeth.

This period of time was the most painful time in his life.

In order to survive, he has already knelt down and allowed others to trample on his dignity.

The reason why he left Tingfeng Tower and returned to his job as a builder was because he understood one thing.

He must upgrade, he must climb up step by step, he must upgrade to a high enough position so that others will not dare to mock him.

And he will make those who borrowed points but didn't exchange them pay the price.

Although there are points in Tingfeng Tower, they are all trading points.

To upgrade to become a third-level member, he must contribute points, so he came here to do the construction.
