Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1839: The Ice and Snow Melt, and Floods Are Coming

Magic City.

The Oriental Pearl Tower stands proudly above the ice.

The scarlet sunlight shone on the thick ice, casting vein-like patterns on the surface.

In this frozen world, the rising temperature seems to have brought a glimmer of hope.

The ice began to thaw, and the ice that was once so solid that it seemed eternal now seemed fragile and weak under the touch of the sun.

On the surface of the skyscraper that had been frozen for half a year, spider-web-like scars appeared on the ice armor, and steel bones protruded from the melting ice shell like the rotten ribs of a giant beast.

The sunlight penetrates the cracks, refracting brilliant colors, as if it is nature's final elegy.

The water droplets dripping from the icicles formed a silver curtain between the buildings, and every "tick-tock" sound caused a hollow echo in the ruins of the buildings.

Under the sunlight, cracks gradually appeared on the ice surface, and melted snow channels meandered into streams.

When these snow waters flow through the zombies under the ice,

The frozen gray fingers suddenly twitched - the bodies embedded in the ice walls were waking up as the temperature rose, and the ice crystals melted into blood in the festering eye sockets.

Countless zombies were frozen beneath the entire icy ground.

The top floor of Oriental Pearl Tower.

The leader of the doomsday gang who stayed here, Ke Weiyi, stood inside the thick double-glazed windows, watching the ice and snow on the windows melt into water and flow down the glass.

"It looks like we're about to unseal it. Have the brothers get ready to continue searching down there. The gang must still be in this building."

The men at the back were complaining bitterly. Ever since the "food" in the No. 2 grain warehouse rioted and escaped, they had been searching downwards. However, there were many zombies downstairs, and they had lost a lot of manpower.

"Yes, boss."

These people have sparse eyebrows, and some have even lost all their eyebrows. Their eyeballs are bloodshot, which is caused by eating too much human flesh.

Just chatting.

wow-

A huge block of ice on top of the building gradually melted and broke under the sun, falling straight down, shattering the ice layer to reveal a honeycomb-shaped ice cave underneath.

There was great movement.

Oriental Pearl Tower, located in the center sphere.

Yu Qiang was originally curled up on the sofa and sleeping, but when he heard the explosion outside, he instantly woke up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Zhuang Qian was looking outside.

I saw pieces of ice falling from above and hitting the cracked ice surface.

The ice was originally frozen on the glass, but now it is thawing due to the rising temperature and falling off.

"Brother Qiang, is it time for us to leave?" Zhuang Qian glanced at Yu Qiang who was walking over, turned his head and asked softly.

Yu Qiang gently shook his head: "It's not time yet. We can't leave. The ice outside is so thick. If we leave, we will definitely die. There is water everywhere. The zombies under the ice will thaw. If we don't drown, we will be torn to pieces by the zombies."

Zhuang Qian heard this and sighed, "But we don't have much food left."

Two months ago, they relied on the bacon and red wine in this secret space to sustain themselves for several days. But watching the food become less and less every day was like watching a countdown to death, which made people feel extremely uneasy.

Deep in the city's financial district, melting ice is washing out the titanium gates of an underground vault.

Kakakka~
As the temperature rises, the roar of ice cores exploding can be heard from the deep ocean, and the shock wave stirs up ice dust several meters high.

Oil City.

The buffer city wall was built during this period and was increased to 20 meters high.

Since Zhang Tianfu, Dongfeng and others who were out digging and transporting retreated back to the city, the militia brigade that was defending against zombies outside the buffer city also retreated back into the buffer city.

Because the wall is high, the zombies below cannot pose any threat during the day, so it is still being built during the day.

At night, the guards immediately installed ultraviolet lamps on the construction site to prevent the wall-climbing zombies from entering the buffer city.

Although there is ultraviolet light protection, the wall site is still under construction and it is inconvenient to walk, so no one is allowed to stay on the buffer wall at night, and no one is allowed to stay inside the buffer zone either. At night, everyone retreats to the trading market.

The wall construction site has changed from being built on both sides, inside and outside, to being built on one side with scaffolding erected only from inside the city.

now.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky.

The worker who was grouting looked at the zombies at the corner outside the wall and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Old Song, the ice outside seems to be melting. Look, there are a lot of pits outside, and a lot of zombies have fallen into them."

"That's true. No wonder it's been getting hotter these past two days. I don't even need to wear a cotton jacket."

Just as the two workers were chatting, a supervisor wearing a blue hat came from one end of the scaffolding.

scolded:
"Hurry up and work, stop chatting."

"And you, why don't you fasten your safety rope? If you accidentally slip down, you'll be dead!"

"This is just for convenience," Lao Song defended.

"Convenient? If you want to die, don't stay here. I'll deduct one day's points from you! Take this as a warning. If you do it again, I'll deduct one week's points from you!"

"I" Lao Song wanted to explain, but the worker next to him pulled his sleeve and signaled him to stop talking.

Old Song helplessly connected the safety rope and fastened it to a cross steel pipe.

Buffer city greenhouse.

Thousands of greenhouses have sprung up, some of which have already been installed with mounting panels, while others are still building the keel frame structure.

The greenhouses in the big camphor tree base, oil city, and the northern border are all of uniform specifications. The area of ​​a single greenhouse is ten acres, which was considered large greenhouses before the end of the world.

Among these thousands of greenhouses, nearly half have completed internal installation, including ventilation systems, irrigation systems, lighting systems, etc., and can be directly put into planting production.

On the roof of a greenhouse that is still under construction.

Dozens of people were constantly laying and installing solar panels on the steel structure of the greenhouse.

"Shunfeng, help me lift the solar panels." Chang Yichang shouted to the crowd below.

Shunfeng, who was pushing a cart loaded with Yangguan boards, heard this and quickly secured the cart.

Together with Biaozi, we tied the solar panel to a rope, and pulled the other end to pull the solar panel up.

Chang Yichang and Ding Meng took the solar panel, skillfully placed it on the bayonet, and then took a screw gun to tighten the screws.

The greenhouses they build are all of extremely high standards, with high strength that is waterproof, typhoon-proof, and even hail-proof.

First of all, the skeleton structure is made entirely of solid steel bars welded by electric welding.

Secondly, the polycarbonate sheets must be fixed to the frame with screws separately.

Shunfeng and Biaozi, who had hoisted the solar panels, took a break.

During the break, the two chatted.

"Shunfeng, we should have quite a few points now, right? Let Big Brother take us to the Water Dragon Club bar to have some drinks someday?" Biaozi was always envious of the Water Dragon Club bar every time he passed by it in the commercial district. He even went in once, but he only went in and didn't buy any drinks.

Shunfeng glanced at him and said, "We have just paid off the points we owed, and you are already thinking about drinking?"

Biaozi said with a smile: "How many points have we saved? After all, we get food for the work, so we can use a small portion of the remaining points to relax, isn't that great?"

"Biaozi"

Shunfeng said helplessly: "We almost starved to death a few days ago. If we don't accumulate some points, we don't know how we will survive in the future. We can't continue to build this greenhouse. When the greenhouse is built, where can we find work?"

"We must have a sense of crisis!" Shunfeng advised earnestly.

They have been working here for more than twenty days. There are about thirty people in the team. Excluding some children and the elderly, the rest have passed the physical examination and come here to participate in the construction.

It took them fifteen days to pay off the more than 150 loan points.

I save the points issued every day, and now I have saved more than 70 points.

Since they are a group, the leader has the authority to manage all points and give different amounts of points based on the different contributions of different people in the team.

Chang Yichang was afraid that everyone would spend the money recklessly, so he didn't give any points to those who didn't participate in the construction work. But for people like Shunfeng who had a job, he gave each person 0.5 points.

In addition, because they were provided with meals at the construction site for the past twenty days, their bodies have recovered to a better state.

There are many people like them who borrowed points and then paid back the points by participating in the construction this time.

After more than twenty days of hard work, Oil City recovered all the points that had been lent out previously. This could be considered work-for-relief.

Being debt-free brings relief. Some residents, after paying off their point loans and having some points left, start spending lavishly. People like them can only see the present and not the future.

But after experiencing the last crisis of not being able to buy food without points, the vast majority of residents have become aware of saving points, and have tried to reduce consumption, live within their means, and save as many points as possible to plan for the future.

The temperature rose back to above zero degrees. Residents who were used to temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero actually felt somewhat warm in this temperature of only a few degrees.

Many people took off their thick cotton jackets and put on simple overcoats to make walking more convenient.

As the temperature rises, more and more people come out of indoors.

The commercial district is bustling at night.

Because the population of this trading market was several times greater than that of the last thunderstorm, the commercial district was even crowded with people at night.

Red lanterns, yellow signs, and neon lights flash among the tires.

On the streets of the commercial district, the aroma of grilled skewers, the sweaty odor of workers who have just got off work, and the smell of cheap perfume wafting from the entrance of Tingfeng Tower all blend together, making the place very popular.

The buffer city and the trading bazaar walls in the distance were flashing ultraviolet lights, making the sky purple and blue, brilliant and colorful.

The Colosseum, which had been silent for a long time, reopened on this day.

Full house upon opening!

Residents who have been stuck indoors for several months can finally go out for a walk as the temperature rises.

Many people rushed to the arena to watch the latest round of gladiatorial contests.

Some people even come here to gamble as soon as they get their work points for the day.

If you lose the bet, just consider it as a day's work in vain.

If you win the bet and earn a lot of points, go straight out of the door, turn right for 30 meters, go to the Shuilonghui Bar to have a drink, and then go directly to the Tingfeng Tower across the street to find a girl.

A one-stop service of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling belongs to it.

According to the explicit regulations of the trading market, prostitution and gambling do not violate the rules, but drugs are explicitly prohibited.

Once discovered, all points will be deducted immediately and you will be expelled from the city and will never be allowed to return.

This thing is like a virus. Once it is released, the residential buildings in the trading market are likely to become ghost towns.

No. 43, Second Vice Street, Commercial District, Hongtai Insurance.

Hong Shixiong looked at the points on the computer with a smile on his face.

Business has been booming in the past week, with many residents coming to him to buy insurance.

It can be said that I have tasted the benefits of insurance.

"Brother, 48 more people have signed up for insurance today. The insured amount this month can exceed 1500." Hong San said excitedly.

Hong Shixiong nodded and said, "I told you, it's definitely better to work in the insurance business. If you listen to A-Bao and open a fortune-telling stall, there will definitely be no business."

Dengdengdeng-

A person ran in from outside the door.

A Bao ran in panting, "Brother, this is bad. I just heard a piece of news. It is said that the Oil City government is also going to open an insurance store."

"What?"

The sky is falling!
Hong Shixiong’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

They used to run a grocery store, but the ice disaster hit not long after it opened, and business was very bad.

Later, he simply used the store to open an insurance company.

I didn’t expect the business to be so good, especially this month as the temperature rose, I didn’t expect the turnover to exceed 1500 points.

Business will definitely be better next month. It can be expected that they will get rich soon.

However, the news that Abao brought was like a bolt from the blue.

How can they compete with the Oil City officials?
Grass.

Hong San asked worriedly, "Brother, what should we do?"

Hong Shixiong paused for a long time, then said sullenly: "To survive in this difficult situation, we must improve the content of the insurance contract, provide more insurance compensation, and recruit people!"

“At this point, we have to find people from the insurance industry to help me figure out a solution.”

"Where to find it?" asked Po.

Hong Shixiong said with a heartache: "Go to the mission hall and post a recruitment advertisement."

In the task hall of the trading market, not only the officials of Oil City can issue tasks, but also the residents living there can issue tasks.

For example, finding someone to help, gathering information, forming a team and other tasks.

However, to post a task in the task hall, one has to pay a considerable recruitment advertising fee, which is unaffordable for most people.

But now Hong Shixiong and his team are facing tremendous pressure. They must find relevant insurance experts as soon as possible to help them formulate strategies. Otherwise, if the Oil City officials set up an insurance company and they are not competitive, they will be finished.

When Hong San heard his elder brother say that he was going to issue a mission, he felt a little reluctant.

"Brother, the worst ad space in the mission hall is 20 points per day. It's too expensive."

"Then you and Abao will go outside to look for it tomorrow? We are not allowed to post flyers in the trade market. How long will it take you to look for it by yourselves? We don't have that much time." Hong Shixiong said helplessly.

"Okay." Hong San nodded and had no choice but to accept it.

The trading market covers an area of ​​thousands of acres, which is larger than a university. It is simply not feasible to recruit people from everywhere, and no one will believe it.

(Ask for monthly ticket)
