Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

buffer city.

snowstorm.

In the vast expanse of white, two heavy trucks were driving along the main road.

In the truck, the co-pilot.

Liu Cunxi picked up the intercom and asked:
"Master, where are you now?"

sizzle-

The old station's voice came through the intercom, "We are in the western part of Buffer City, and the car is parked on the main road. It should be easy to find."

The wind and snow were so strong that the snow fluttered down like flowing catkins.

You can see it from dozens of meters away, but it is not clear if it is farther away.

This is because there are currently no buildings in the buffer city. Otherwise, if there were buildings blocking the view, the visible distance would be even shorter.

Liu Bing, who was driving a heavy truck, asked, "West District, right?"

"Yes, West District, just drive along the main road." Liu Cunxi replied.

Liu Bing turned on the wiper on the front of the car to scrape off the snow.

The buffer city is really too big, with an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, and it’s not easy to find.

Boom boom boom!
Because all the construction workers and snow removal workers in the buffer city have retreated today, the roads in the buffer city have not been cleared of snow for eight or nine hours.

During these eight hours, the ground was covered with a layer of snow more than ten centimeters thick.

The tires rolled over the snow, and a layer of anti-skid chains was put on the surface of the tires to prevent them from sliding.

Liu Bing lowered his head and leaned against the windshield to look at the road ahead.

Visibility was extremely poor in a snowstorm.

the other side.

Central location in the western section of the buffer city.

Lao Tai was sitting in the passenger seat. After the vehicle was turned off, there was no heating in the cockpit.

He huddled in his seat and trembled.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the car door.

Lao Tai opened the car door curiously and saw a man standing in the snow with his head covered with snow.

"When will the rescue arrive? If it doesn't work, can we just walk back?" Old Zhao, who was standing outside the car door, asked tremblingly.

They had been parked here for more than ten minutes. The blizzard was so severe that snowflakes were floating from outside into the rear carriage, making them unbearably cold.

The boss closed the car door and rolled down the window glass.

"You can't walk back. If you get off the bus and walk away, it will be even harder to find us. The gate to the buffer city of the trading market will be closed soon. It will take you at least 40 minutes to walk back."

"And now the rescue team is on the way, just wait a little longer."

Lao Zhao covered his hat with his hands, nodded to Lao Tai, and walked to the back of the carriage holding the body of the carriage.

The wind and snow outside were so strong that he could hardly stand.

After finally climbing onto the car, he was so cold that he quickly took off his hat and covered his ears with his hands.

There were cracked lines on his ears from frostbite, his fingers were rough and cracked, and blood was oozing from the cracks.

"Old Zhao, what do you mean? When will the rescue team arrive?" Gong Huo asked.

Old Zhao replied in a muffled voice, "They say it will be here soon."

Gong Huo cursed angrily:

"Damn, I don't know how they drive the car, but they can destroy the engine! Damn it."

He continued with some regret:

"If it wasn't for becoming a Level 4 member sooner, I would have quit long ago."

"Then don't do it. Leave more opportunities for your brothers." Old Zhao teased.

He knew that Gong Huo was not short of points. Before, Gong Huo went to Sui County and got a batch of electronic products, and none of them had been soaked in water and could be used.

Got a lot of points in exchange.

However, what you get in exchange are transaction points, not contribution points.

If you want to upgrade in Oil City, you still have to rely on contribution points.

In order to level up, Gong Huo came out to do the mission in such a cold weather.

After hearing Lao Zhao's ridicule, Gong Huo glared at him, raised his head and saw Meng Zi opposite him.

It is said.

This Mengzi was no small figure in the past. He was a member of the patrol team.

But later, because he accepted benefits from the biker gang and abused his power to engage in corruption, he seriously violated the official interests of the trading market and had a very bad influence among the survivors.

They even deducted store points for no reason in the trading fair.

Later, the survivors wrote a letter to the city lord's mailbox, which was seen by the third uncle, who ordered a cleanup.

Considering that Mengzi had joined the Dazhangshu base for many years and had made contributions, he was not killed, but was promoted from a level three personnel to a level five personnel.

Originally, he could no longer participate in such construction or duty tasks.

But in addition to being removed from the third-level personnel, his points were also reset to zero.

Now it's the icy disaster again, he doesn't have any points, and those level 4 and 5 survivors also exclude him. The shops in the commercial district don't give him job opportunities because of his previous behavior of accepting bribes.

Almost starved to death.

Zhang Rufeng felt sorry for him, so he pleaded for him and gave him a job, which allowed him to barely survive.

Gong Huo looked at Meng Zi who was lowering his head opposite him. They had been on duty and patrolling on the wall side by side recently, and they had become familiar with each other after a few interactions.

He had heard of this story about Mengzi before, but the feeling he had after experiencing it was somewhat different.

He rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Lao Meng, I'm bored, can you tell us what benefits the Level 3 personnel have? I don't need to talk about the obvious ones, let's talk about the invisible ones."

Meng Zi, who had his eyes closed and his hands on his shoulders, opened his eyes after hearing Gong Huo's words.

"There's nothing much to say, it's just those things anyway."

He didn't want to say it.

It can be said that falling from a level three personnel to a level five personnel is the difference from heaven to hell.

Not to mention the huge gap in status.

In terms of the real material difference, he is now like someone who went to work as a laborer in the countryside before the end of the world when someone was building a house. He gets 150 yuan a day, and often has no work to do.

Not only did he work extremely hard, but he only earned 150 yuan a day. After the house was built, he had nothing to do.

The third-level personnel are like the low-level cadres in the Tobacco Bureau before the end of the world. They drink tea and read newspapers every day, and they can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan on average every month, and they also receive various benefits during the New Year and other holidays.

The social status is also much higher.

He regretted more than once why he was so stupid and greedy.

After gaining some power, I no longer know my own last name.

In the past, shop owners, even those who owned a team of hundreds of people, would respectfully address him as Mengge when they saw him.

Walking in the commercial district of the trading market, all the survivors were respectful to him when they saw him.

He thought he was just bragging, but now he understands.

That's because of the leather he wears, which makes others think he is awesome.

Without that skin, he's nothing.

After being demoted to Level 5 personnel, he was treated coldly, looked down upon and ridiculed.

Like a rat crossing the street, running around everywhere.

He once thought about leaving Oil City, but there was a ban and the trading market did not allow him to leave Oil City.

Unless someone is dead, their body can be carried out of the Oil City.

It had been so hard for him to get through the last few months.

Until one day, he was almost starving to death and knelt down to beg in the business district, begging for food.

But this is the end of the world, and there are not many kind-hearted people.

What's more, he was such a domineering and arrogant person before.

No one ignored him.

When he was on the verge of starvation, Zhang Rufeng saw him and felt sorry for him, so he gave him two tortillas and begged his superiors to give him a job opportunity.

He used to be a member of the Dazhangshu Base, and even joined the Dazhangshu Base earlier than Zhang Rufeng.

Zhang Rufeng and he had known each other before at the Dazhangshu Base. When Zhang Rufeng had just joined the Dazhangshu Base, Mengzi had introduced the Dazhangshu Base to him.

Zhang Rufeng couldn't bear to see Mengzi become like this.

After this baptism, Mengzi felt extremely remorseful and firmly seized the opportunity to complete the mission.

If for nothing else, just to survive.

Xie Dongling, who was demoted along with him, was said to have moved to the slums two days ago and starved to death.

After starving to death, their bodies were rolled up and thrown into the boiler factory to be used as fuel.

So, Mengzi cherishes the current job opportunity.

He also wanted to upgrade back step by step, but after he learned about the points needed for the upgrade and compared it with the points he earned every day, he realized how difficult it was.

The points required to go from level 5 to level 4 are not that many, if the points required for promotion do not change.

From level five to level four, without stopping in between, as long as you work in a construction team for more than half a year, you will be almost there.

It is much more difficult to go from level 4 to level 3. If you only work in the engineering team to gain contribution points, it will take at least six years to get promoted.

Moreover, the points required for level advancement are often increasing.

Every time they were about to get enough points for promotion, new regulations would be promulgated, increasing the points required for promotion, and they would have to find ways to obtain more contribution points.

Looking back, Mengzi felt extremely bitter.

It was so easy for him to get promoted back then, but it is extremely difficult for him to climb back now. It can be said that if he doesn't have good luck, he may never be able to climb up in this lifetime.

Gong Huo, who was sitting opposite him, saw Meng Zi closed his eyes again.

He curled his lips and whispered, "How boring."

Snowflakes were flying inside the carriage.

Everyone lowered their heads, put their hands in their pockets, and did not move.

Snowflakes were flying before their eyes, and they seemed to be waiting for death.

The temperature was minus sixty degrees Celsius, and they were all dressed as thickly as bears.

No matter how many points they have in their pockets, people who go outside on duty will try to wear thicker clothes, otherwise they will not be able to bear it and will be frozen to death.

Beep!

Suddenly a car horn sounded.

Everyone in the car quickly sat up straight.

Gong Huo and Lao Zhao even jumped out of the carriage to look for traces of the vehicle.

"We are here!" In the snowstorm, Gong Huo saw two heavy trucks coming towards them from the east.

Boom!
The old man who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car also got out and squinted his eyes at the vehicles coming from the east.

He said to the driver, "Go get the tow rope and secure it, they're here."

Come to rescue their car and pull this car back as well.

Otherwise, if it stayed here and was buried by the snow, the car would be scrapped after the snow melted.

Liu Cunxi and Liu Bing on the opposite side saw the truck stuck in the snow in front of them and quickly drove the heavy truck over.

turn around.

After the vehicle stopped, Liu Cunxi jumped out of the car.

I watched the old guys fasten the tow rope to their rescue vehicle.

"Are you done?" Liu Cunxi urged them when he saw them busying around.

It was really too cold outside and he didn't want to stay outside for even a second longer.

"Okay." The old man raised his hand.

Liu Cunxi looked behind the car and saw several level 4 and 5 members watching, so he shouted:

"Get in the car, we're leaving soon! Hurry and get in the car!"

Gong Huo and others quickly climbed into the car.

Liu Cunxi cursed a few words and returned to the passenger seat.

The front of the car is heated, so it is more comfortable to stay in the car.

"Drive." Liu Cunxi said to the driver Liu Bing.

Boom boom boom!
The heavy truck roared. This heavy truck had amazing horsepower and could carry eighty tons of cargo.

Towing the car behind was a piece of cake.

The wheels spun, and the heavy truck easily dragged the car behind it.

"The car is moving. Is there any problem on your side?" Liu Cunxi took out the walkie-talkie and asked the operator in the back.

The old station watched the vehicle slowly moving and quickly replied:

“It’s moving.”

"That's fine. If anything happens, call me on the intercom. The snowstorm is so severe that I can't see your situation clearly in the rearview mirror."

"it is good."

The three cars formed a line and drove towards the trading market.

Seven minutes later.

They arrived at the gate of the city.

Only when he saw Cao Le behind those cars did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He stomped his feet hard, covered his ears, and then signaled with his right hand to let several cars drive inside.

He watched the three cars enter the city wall before picking up the walkie-talkie to contact the team members on the wall.

"Baozi, turn off the power switch and close the door."

beep-

The switch made a roar, but it just wouldn't close.

On the wall of the trading market, an alarm sounded in the watchtower.

Baozi looked at the flashing red light on the gate switch and quickly contacted Cao Le.

"Captain Cao, please check if the gate is frozen again. I have sounded the alarm."

After hearing the voice on the intercom, Cao Le looked towards the gate.

Sure enough, it’s frozen again.

"It's frozen. Please stop and close the door. I'll deal with it first. Wait for me for a moment."

"it is good."

After he replied to Baozi, he shouted to the team members around him:
"Brothers, take out the iron spikes!"

They skillfully took out the iron spikes from the wall and stood carefully beside the gate.

Crunch!

When they saw the huge iron gate stop roaring, they walked over.

This gate is powered by a hydraulically coupled electric switch, which has amazing power.

Twenty meters long.

There are grooves above and below, and the gate goes deep into the walls on both sides of the wall.

When closing, the door slides from the left and right sides of the wall to the middle.

Then they merged together, with the two doors' concave and convex parts fitting together perfectly.

The reason why they didn't dare to get close before the power was turned off was that they were afraid that the closing door would suddenly break through the ice and quickly merge. If it was stuck, it would break into two halves.

After the gate stops closing.

They took iron picks and smashed the ice frozen in the trench.

There is also a layer of ice that has frozen hard in the gaps between the two doors.

Ice cubes splash.

It took them several minutes to finally break the ice in the trench.

As long as it is smashed, we should be able to press through it directly.

Cao Le asked his brothers to retreat, then picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Baozi.

"Baozi, it should be ready, close the door."

zizi.

"receive."

Ten seconds later, the two huge gates of the city wall made a loud and harsh friction sound.

Crunchy~
It's like the sound of a sharp knife cutting on smooth glass.

Moved!

The two gates of the city wall are close to each other towards the center.

Cao Le looked at the layer of frost condensed on the two gates of the city wall and exhaled a breath of hot air.

He said to the people behind him:

"Brothers, let's call it a day!"

On the fence next to them, the concrete wall was also covered with a thick layer of frost.

Everything in the city is white.

Everything in the icy disaster seemed to be frozen by ice and snow.
