Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1965 Preparing to go to M City Automobile Factory

"Oil City is divided into three cities, and the core one is called Oil City."

"The place I'll take you to is called the Trade Market, and the place we are in now is called the Buffer City."

“You can’t enter the Oil City. Only people above level three can enter. The trading market, as the name suggests, is mainly a place for purchasing and trading materials. You can buy what you need in the trading market.

The buffer city is currently divided into six zones, Zone 1 is a residential living zone, and Zone 2 is an agricultural production zone."

On the way to the trading market, Liu Haibo introduced the situation here to Zhou Dafu's family as they walked.

"Oh, right." Liu Haibo suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhou Dafu and said:
"The housing in the trading market is now full. You can only live in the residential area of ​​Zone 1 in the buffer city."

"But you don't have any points right now, and it seems you don't have any supplies to redeem points. I'll take you to the official bank of the trading market to borrow points first."

"Bank?" Zhou Dafu asked with some doubt:
“Is there a bank here too?”

Liu Haibo continued to explain with a smile:
“Yes, for those of you who have just joined Oil City, many of you don’t have anything valuable on hand, so Oil City has specially set up a points loan, which is great!

You can get a loan of five points as soon as you come in, which is a very big support.”

Zhou Dafu heard this and asked, "Is there any interest?"

"Of course there is, but the interest rate is not high. As long as you find a job in the trading market, you can pay it back quickly."

"Oh, I see." Zhou Dafu nodded.

On the way to the trading bazaar, Zhou Dafu and his three companions were also observing the buffer city.

It was the rush hour, and many workers on the construction site were off work and heading to the trading market.

It's very lively with people coming and going.

They passed through densely populated greenhouse areas and industrial and residential areas that were under construction.

The buildings that rose from the ground left them dumbfounded.

Everything in Buffer City seems to be thriving.

Street lights are being installed on the main roads along the roadside, and most of the criss-crossing road surface is paved with cement.

Since it has not been fully completed yet, the road surface looks a bit dirty.

After the road surface is hardened and cleaned, and with street lights and trees on both sides, one can imagine the scene here. It must be very nice, Zhou Dafu's wife thought secretly in her heart.

Soon, they arrived at the main entrance of the trading market.

There is a main entrance with a lot of people, vehicles and pedestrians, and eight entrances to the station on the sidewalk, so the flow of people is extremely large.

They lined up to enter.

Since the buffer city's barbican has been strictly inspected, the inspection at the trading market is relatively simple.

Similar to the gate before the end of the world, survivors only need to pass through an inspection gate, then swipe their score number card on the instrument at the gate to enter directly.

This saves a lot of inspection time and allows residents to enter the trading market as quickly as possible.

This method is based on the subway checkpoint settings before the end of the world.

They chose an entrance with a shorter queue and followed the flow of the crowd.

The crowd hardly stopped and kept moving forward.

Five minutes later, it was their turn. After Liu Haibo passed through a gate, he stood behind the gate, took out his points number card and introduced himself to them:
"To enter and exit the trading market, you need to use a points number card, something like this."

As he spoke, he swiped his Level 2 purple points number card on the instrument and walked in.

Zhou Dafu was shocked when he saw that his points number card was purple.

Just now while on the road, he briefly glanced at the introduction leaflet.

The five-level system of the trading market is written above.

Level 1 is gold, level 2 is purple, level 3 is green, level 4 is blue, and level 5 is white.

He originally thought that Liu Haibo was at most level 3, but he didn't expect it to be level 2.

In fact, most of the people in the entire operations department are level 2 personnel.

They joined the Dazhangshu Base early and have participated in many battles, so it is normal for them to become Level 2 personnel.

This is also the reason why the combat personnel of the Operations Department generally have a higher status than the militia members of the Militia Department.

The level alone is a level higher.

The people in the Operations Department are basically the core of the Dazhangshu combat system, and most of them are level 2.

The members of the Civil Armed Forces Department are mainly level 3, and the reserve force is only level 4.

Zhou Dafu followed Liu Haibo's actions and used his points number card to swipe in.

"Dad, this place is really advanced. It's unexpected that people in the end times can achieve this level," Zhou Chen said as he approached his father Zhou Dafu.

He didn't dare speak too loudly, for fear that others would say he had never seen the world.

Zhou Dafu nodded and followed Liu Haibo.

After passing through a hundred-meter-long passage, the group stopped in front of an electric fence.

Liu Haibo pointed to the inside of the fence and introduced:
"This is the trading market. The area we are facing is called the commercial district. It is the core area of ​​the trading market and also where everyone does business."

Zhou Dafu and his companions looked at the densely packed buildings in the distance, their eyes filled with shock.

Although only a part of the commercial district street was visible, one could still see the dense flow of people inside, which was completely no different from the bustling streets before the end of the world.

The neon lights on the streets add a touch of post-apocalyptic style.

Drop drop drop-

At this moment, the electric fence slid to both sides, and the surrounding residents walked towards the trading market.

"Let's go." Liu Haibo glanced at a few people and said.

There are too many people.

So Zhou Dafu quickly said to his wife and children behind him: "Follow closely, there are a lot of people here, don't lose them."

I followed the crowd into the trading market, and as soon as I entered, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

There is a tall building in the north area, which is the mission hall.

At least one-third of the residents who enter the trading market go there, another one-third go directly to the commercial area, and the rest go to residential buildings or industrial areas.

Thick smoke billowed from the industrial area, and white smoke drifted in the sunset.

The residential buildings are lined up in a very regular pattern.

The entire trading market accommodates a population of 300,000 people, but its area is only a few thousand acres, so the population is extremely dense and you can see people wherever you go.

Zhou Dafu and his companions have rarely seen other survivors over the years, and they have rarely seen other teams of survivors outside.

But they saw hundreds of thousands of people here, and this scene had a huge impact on them.

There is a feeling of finally reintegrating into the human society.

"Come on, don't just stand there. The official bank is inside the commercial district. I'll take you on a tour of the commercial district." Liu Haibo saw that a few people were in a daze, so he reminded them.

"All right."

Zhou Dafu and several others hurriedly followed Liu Haibo. The vehicles passing by created a gust of wind, causing the surrounding residents to curse angrily.

Liu Haibo frowned when he saw the car speeding past.

There are many rules for vehicles in the trading market. First, vehicles are not allowed to enter the commercial area.

Second, vehicles are not allowed to be parked randomly. Except for vehicles temporarily parking at gas stations for refueling, other vehicles must be parked in parking lots.

Third, drive in the designated lane and the speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.

In the past, when the population was smaller, vehicle speeds were not allowed to exceed 50 kilometers per hour, but now there are too many people in the trading market, so the speed must be reduced.

The speed of the car just now was obviously over 30 kilometers per hour, even reaching 60 kilometers per hour.

He is really too courageous.

So Liu Haibo immediately contacted the on-duty personnel of the patrol brigade and asked them to intercept the car in front and punish it according to the regulations.

After putting down the communicator, Liu Haibo continued to walk towards the commercial district with Zhou Dafu and others.

On the streets, the bustling crowds make the whole street full of the breath of life.

Liu Haibo pointed to Shop No. 2 on the right side of the street and said:
"This is the place you will come to often. You can buy basic food like tortillas here. The price is very cheap, only 0.25 points. The 5 points you will borrow later can buy 20 tortillas."

"Yeah, okay." Zhou Dafu was a little shocked when he saw the extremely long queue.

This line is dozens of meters long, and there are four lines.

But what exactly does the tortilla that Liu Haibo mentioned look like?

Just at this moment, two young men holding tortillas in their hands passed by them, talking and laughing while eating hot tortillas.

The aroma of tortillas wafted over.

Zhou Dafu and his companions smelled the rich aroma of corn and could not help swallowing their saliva, their stomachs growling.

Zhou Dafu looked at Liu Haibo somewhat awkwardly, but Liu Haibo didn't hear him.

Fortunately, the noise around them masked the sound of their stomachs growling.

Keep going.

The shops on the street opened their eyes. Many of them were very similar to those before the apocalypse. They could never imagine that there could be such a place in the apocalypse.

There are restaurants, bathhouses, clothing stores, small supermarkets, barber shops, and tattoo shops inside.
They were dazzled and overwhelmed by what they saw.

What shocked them even more was that some people on the street were dressed like they were from a different world.

Some people have long hair and wear riveted clothes, giving off a cyberpunk style.

There were also some people who were dressed in rags, and like them, one could tell at a glance that they were newcomers.

Some people wore animal skins and looked like savages from ancient times.

The trading market is very inclusive, and residents are free to stay here as long as they do not violate regulations.

soon.

They walked to Shop 36, the official bank of Oil City.

This bank occupies three storefronts, which are connected to form a lobby that is over 200 square meters.

Even though it was already 6:30 in the evening, there were still many people queuing up to get numbers to handle their business.

Liu Haibo did not use his rank to suppress others, but instead used his connections to help Zhou Dafu and others jump the queue and get a number.

Instead, they were asked to get a number by themselves and wait there.

Seeing that it would take a while to finish, Liu Haibo had to report to Oil City, so he said to Zhou Dafu:
"Wait here for your number to be called. I'm going to go out and do something. I'll come back to see you later."

"Yes, okay. Thank you very much."

Liu Haibo waved his hand and walked out of the bank.

After walking out of the trading market, he happened to see Li Zhengping riding a small electric scooter towards the oil city.

"Captain Li, please give me a ride." Liu Haibo shouted.

Li Zhengping stopped when he heard the voice, and smiled when he saw Liu Haibo:
"Aren't you supposed to be in Oil City now? I just saw a large army entering Oil City. Come on up."

Liu Haibo didn't hesitate and stepped over.

Li Zhengping rode a small electric scooter on the road, with the evening breeze whistling in his ears.

The pedestrians and street lights around me give me an inexplicable feeling of peace and tranquility, as if time is peaceful and tranquil.

Liu Haibo complained:

"When will we be able to popularize electric donkeys and charging stations in our trading market? In the past, the trading market was not that large, but now the buffer city is so big that it's too troublesome to walk."

Li Zhengping smiled and said:
"Didn't you see the new charging stations being built on the road? They are being built now."

Liu Haibo nodded and said:

"It would be great if it could become like the headquarters base someday, with electric donkeys and charging stations everywhere, which would be very convenient."

Li Zhengping said with some emotion:

"I haven't been back to the headquarters base for a long time. There will be a high-level meeting in the middle of the month, and I will probably go back then. I haven't been back for more than a year, and I don't know what the headquarters base has become."

"Then you have to go back and take a look." Liu Haibo said.

Soon, they returned to Oil City.

A large army suddenly poured into the Oil City today, and the entire Oil City became much more lively than before.

All vehicles in the fleet will be serviced and repaired upon return.

The round trip from the oil city to the northwest is nearly 5,000 kilometers, and problems can easily occur without maintenance.

In addition, there are some instruments and equipment needed by the oil city that were transported back from the northwest. They also need to be classified and sent to the industrial zone tomorrow.

Oil City, conference room.

After Li Yu returned here, he held a meeting.

Main Topic: Transportation Equipment transportation in the automobile manufacturing plant in M ​​City.

To this day, the Dazhangshu forces still lack a complete set of car-making equipment.

Restoring the railway does not seem to be a wise option at the moment.

If natural disasters are not resolved, the railway will be greatly affected by them. It is possible that a lot of time, energy and materials have just been invested in repairs, but a natural disaster breaks out not long after, causing damage to the railway.

However, vehicles are not greatly affected. Although the road surface becomes bumpy due to natural disasters, it is still drivable.

Moreover, the Dazhangshu forces already have the foundation for new energy electric vehicles.

Solid-state battery technology is very mature and can be mass-produced.

In addition, the Dazhangshu forces have abundant electricity, and they must convert the electricity into actual productivity.

Therefore, as long as we can move the car manufacturing equipment back from that factory, recruit some new energy vehicle experts, and add those experts from the headquarters base, we should be able to achieve large-scale production of new energy electric vehicles soon.

As long as the three-electric system can be solved, everything else will not be a big problem.

After all, what they need at this stage is not a smart driving car, nor do they need messy things like radar and touch screens. They just need a car that can be charged, driven and run.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to a larger electric car that can carry people.

If we want to carry those things back, it will not be possible to rely on just a scattered group of survivors.

They don't have the ability to do so, and the Oil City officials must take action themselves.

To transport that equipment, a large fleet of vehicles is needed.

In the conference room.

Li Yu sat in the center position right above, looking at Li Qi who was transferred from the Wu City Military Base two weeks ago.

"Li Qi, please report on the current recruitment situation of the Second Transport Brigade."

Li Qi stood up and said:
"So far, the preparations for the Second Transport Brigade are as follows:

100 trucks of 20 to 100 tons were dispatched from the headquarters base and the trading market.

100 modified trucks and vans of various types.

There are a total of 6000 vehicles, which are estimated to be able to carry tons of supplies.

In addition, there were 10 armored vehicles and 5 modified combat vehicles following the convoy.

In addition, 300 drivers have been recruited, and the minister has also provided the fleet with 100 full-time guards.

"

Li Yu listened to Li Qi's report and got a general understanding of the current situation of the Second Transport Brigade.

Compared with the First Transport Brigade, the newly-established Second Transport Brigade was indeed somewhat weak.

Whether in terms of loading capacity or vehicle quality, it is not as good as the First Transport Brigade.

The loading capacity of the First Transport Brigade is over 10,000 tons, and the vehicles it is equipped with are also very stable.

Most of the vehicles in the convoy were military trucks from the Wu City military base.

Those military trucks are sturdy and have good defensive capabilities.

However, the Second Transport Brigade has just been established, so it can be upgraded slowly.
