Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1966 The trading market is still too prosperous!

Many of the core personnel of the Second Transport Brigade were transferred from the First Transport Brigade, and some more people were recruited.

This ensures that the Second Transport Brigade will have transport experience as soon as it is established.

In the conference room.

After Li Qi finished his explanation, Li Yu looked at everyone and said:

"The car factory in M ​​City needs to move equipment. Let's give this task to the Second Transport Brigade."

"Considering that there are many zombies in M ​​City, the defense team of the Second Transport Brigade is definitely not enough, so let's send an additional combat brigade and a militia brigade."

"In addition, in order to be able to move all the equipment back at once, we need to give full play to the advantages of the trading market. We will recruit a team with vehicles at the trading market to help with the moving and transportation."

This was the beginning of cooperation between the official transport team and the individual teams of the trading market.

After all, the transportation capacity is limited if we rely solely on official teams.

We need to send two additional battalions, about 400 people. Who should go?
Chen Er raised his hand and said, "I'm willing to go. I'm quite familiar with M City Jiading."

One of the main reasons why he wanted to participate was that he wanted to take a look at South Paradise, their former base, when he went to M City.

Seeing Chen Er raise his hand to express his opinion, Li Yu did not refuse and nodded:

"Where is the combat brigade? Who is willing to carry out this mission?"

There are currently four militia brigades in the trading market, with captains Ding Meng, Zhou Tian (temporary, originally Xiao Jun), Yang Tianlong, and Li Gang.

Yang Tianlong glanced at the other captains of the combat teams present, and seeing that none of them had any intention of expressing their opinions for the time being, he stood up and said:

"I am willing to lead the team there."

"it is good."

This is also an opportunity for Yang Tianlong, as he is too young compared to Lao Luo and others.

Now he is less than 30 years old and has become the captain of a core combat brigade. The next level up can only be the director level.

Yang Tianlong’s rank is very high, a first-level staff member, which is quite consistent with his current position.

If Yang Tianlong participates in this transportation mission, he will undoubtedly be the commander. After all, he has the highest rank and his position is half a level higher than Li Qi.

In addition, as long as he can successfully complete this task, he will naturally be able to take on any vacancies for director or be assigned to be the person in charge of a city in the future.

After all, the big camphor tree faction has more people, and we cannot promote someone to an important position rashly like before. We also have to look at their qualifications.

Otherwise it will be difficult to convince people.

Even though Li Yu has special privileges, he can still force someone to be in the position.

But he didn't want to use this privilege unless it was necessary.

Xi Yan naturally believes that when the power develops to a certain stage, if the leader wants to interfere in everything, it will destroy the established institutional system.

Sometimes we should follow the will of nature and allow the natural development to proceed according to the established system.

He just needed to adjust the rudder to prevent the boat from going off course.

Li Yu took his eyes off Yang Tianlong, looked at Lao Huang and said:

"Old Huang, please report the latest developments of the trading market."

Trading bazaar.

Official bank.

A PA announcement sounded in the hall.

"Number 49, please go to counter 3."

Zhou Dafu looked at the number in his hand, it was 49.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally his turn.

He asked his wife and children to stay where they were and wait, and he walked to counter No. 2 alone.

"Hello, I want to apply for a points loan." He looked around the counter curiously.

There was a computer inside the counter, and sitting there was a young woman in black clothes.

The layout inside is very similar to a bank before the end of the world.

The female staff member inside didn't even raise her head. After waiting for a few seconds without receiving the points number card, she raised her head and said, "Give me your points number card."

"How else can I help you with the loan? How much do you want to borrow? Do you have any asset certificates with you?"

When you take out a loan from an official bank, it will depend on how long you have stayed in the trading market and how many contribution points you have. The more contribution points you have, the more trading points you can get in a loan.

In addition, your level will be taken into consideration. The higher the level, the more points you will get for the loan.

Finally, it depends on your assets. For example, if you own a gun or a car, you can use it as collateral for mortgage loan.

Zhou Dafu quickly took out his level 5 white points number card from his pocket.

The female staff member put it on the instrument and swiped it, then compared Zhou Dafu's appearance on the computer and finally saw the time of joining in the upper right corner.

An hour ago?

This is the new guy who just came in.

However, she was not surprised, as many newcomers had come here to apply for points loans in recent days.

Most of the survivors outside are not doing well, so when they come to the trading market, many of them don't have anything valuable.

"You just came in, right?" asked the female staff member.

"Uh-huh. Yes."

The female staff member clicked on his information and saw that he had two sons and a wife.

So he asked, "Where are your family members?"

"They're sitting right over there."

The female staff member leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Dafu's wife and son in the hall.

He tapped a few times on the keyboard.

"Four people, after comprehensive evaluation, I can give you a loan of 10 points, with an annual interest rate of %. If you are sure, I will process it for you?"

"The interest rate is so high?" Zhou Dafu was a little shocked.

The female staff member was too lazy to explain, "Do you want to borrow money or not?"

For the Oil City officials, the point loan business is actually to help the welfare of the majority of residents.

After all, these days, who the hell is willing to lend you points? Points are equivalent to food.

No one would lend food to others.

Only the Oil City officials can do it, and only they have the confidence and strength to do it.

They are looking at it from a higher and macro perspective, and their core goal is to enable more survivors to survive and stay in the trading market.

After they stay, they have to consume, and in order to earn points they have to perform tasks or participate in construction projects.

At the same time, they can only consume in the trading market. The points they earn from their consumption are given to the shops. The shops make a profit, but they have to pay a lot of taxes to the government.

The points went around in circles and finally returned to the hands of the Oil City officials.

In the process, the oil city developed, shops made profits, the market economy prospered, and the survivors got the food they wanted and a safe living space.

Counter No. 2.

Facing the somewhat impatient female teller, Zhou Dafu quickly said:

"Loan, sorry, I just asked."

He just figured out one thing. Although a 50% interest rate was very high before the end of the world, it was really unscrupulous to use it at this time.

Because there is only one such company, after one year the points were only increased by 50%, which is not considered high.

drop drop~
The female teller operated the computer again, placed his points number card on the machine and swiped it, then returned it to him along with a printed receipt.

"All right."

“I want to ask.”

Before Zhou Dafu could finish his words, the female teller pressed a button.

The radio immediately announced, "No. 52, please come to counter 2."

After seeing her action, Zhou Dafu looked embarrassed.

What the hell
Why are the bank tellers in the apocalypse the same as the bank staff before the apocalypse? They are all so impatient.

However, the female staff inside still reminded:

"There are detailed loan details over there at the door. You can go over and take a closer look."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Zhou Dafu glanced at the bank entrance and saw that there was indeed a roll-up banner there, but he didn't notice it when he came in.

Then he returned to his wife and children with the points number card.

"His father, is the loan ready?"

"Well, the loan is done. 10 points are enough for us for a few days. However, during these days, I have to go to the mission hall that Captain Liu mentioned as soon as possible to sign up. I want to join the reserve force of the militia brigade."

“Is the interest high?”

"Not high, the annual interest rate is 50 percent."

"Huh? Fifty percent isn't high?"

Zhou Dafu said helplessly: "It's good enough to be able to get a loan these days, why complain about it?"

His wife nodded and said, "That's true. Oil City is very thoughtful and considerate. It is indeed a good place." "Dad, where are we going next?" Zhou Chen suddenly asked.

He just read through all the pages in his hand and gained a deeper understanding of the trading market.

According to the process, they should go to the Buffer City Housing Management Office to register and then they can be arranged to move in.

While Zhou Dafu was waiting, he also looked at the single page and knew what to do next.

But Captain Liu said he would come back.

It might not be good if I left alone.

So he said, "Sit here and wait for Captain Liu. We have already made an appointment with him."

"Yeah." Zhou Chen stood up and walked out the door, looking at the bustling streets of the commercial district, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

It's really different here.

Time flies by.

Ten minutes later, Liu Haibo hurried back and saw the four of them.

"done?"

"Yeah, it's done."

"I was delayed by something just now. Come on, I'll take you to the Housing Management Office."

Zhou Dafu expressed his gratitude:
"Captain Liu, we have just finished reading the leaflets and have a rough idea of ​​where to go next. You have a lot of things to do, so I am sorry to bother you all the time. Why don't you go ahead and do your work? We can go by ourselves."

"Thank you."

Liu Haibo was a little surprised, but soon developed a liking for Zhou Dafu.

He is a man of integrity and knows when to advance and when to retreat.

The reason why he brought Zhou Dafu with him was because the city lord had seen him before, so he just led the way.

But he does have something on his hands right now.

It just so happened that Zhou Dafu took the initiative to propose it, so he agreed.

"Okay, but I suggest you go to store No. 2 that we just passed and buy some tortillas. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to go back and forth in the trade market."

"If you don't understand something, you can ask the patrol officers, the ones wearing green vests."

“There are a lot of guide signs here. You can take the time to read them.”

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Dafu thanked again.

Liu Haibo was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, do you know where the reserve registration is?"

Zhou Dafu quickly said: "I know, the mission hall."

Liu Haibo nodded and said:

"Well, go as soon as possible. They have already informed you. Go there early and register, then you can go directly to the training camp for the test."

"If you pass the test, you can get the guaranteed points earlier, and then we will assign you work tasks."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Dafu expressed his gratitude sincerely.

"It's okay, let's go."

After explaining all this, Liu Haibo left.

Although Zhou Dafu had a good resume in the past and had the potential for promotion.

But for Liu Haibo, who had already become the deputy captain of the combat brigade, there was actually no need to be friends with him.

The status disparity is too great.

However, Liu Haibo liked Zhou Dafu, so it was no big deal for him to give him a few more suggestions.

After Liu Haibo left, Zhou Dafu and his three companions walked out of the official banking hall.

On the busy street, I walked towards Shop No. 2.

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening.

This period of time is the busiest time of the day for the trading market.

The place was crowded and noisy.

The noisy streets made Zhou Dafu and his companions feel a little uncomfortable.

When we were in the cave, the only sound in the cave was the sound of water dripping from above.

They were used to the quietness, and the prosperity and human atmosphere at this moment made them feel a long-lost feeling.

Returned to human society.

Along the way, they walked very slowly, and they were shocked to see many new things that they had never imagined before.

I didn't expect that there would be such a place in the end times, and it has developed to such an extent.

"Dad, there are clothes for sale here!" Zhou Guang said in surprise, pointing at a clothing store.

“It’s back to normal”

Zhou Dafu said with some emotion:

"Banks, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, and even bathhouses. The trading market here is really comprehensive. It's actually no less prosperous than the county town before the apocalypse."

They were just walking down the main street and hadn't even visited the other side streets.

But when passing the intersection, you can also see that there are quite a few people and shops on the side streets.

It took them twenty minutes to walk to Shop No. 2.

It took me nearly half an hour to queue up and buy two tortillas.

"A total of 0.5 points. Please keep the receipt. This is your points number card." The staff inside handed the number card and receipt to Zhou Dafu.

It was the first time for Zhou Dafu to use the points number card to buy food in a commercial district, which was very novel.

The wife beside him exclaimed:

“This points number card is really convenient.”

"Well, yes. In some ways it is even more convenient than before the apocalypse." Zhou Dafu nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, they returned to the exit of the trading market. There was no need for inspection to go out. They could just swipe their cards and walk out.

They found the residential building in Buffer City Area 1 through the signboards.

The buffer city is very large, covering tens of thousands of acres.

And there are also many places with greenhouses.

So compared to the trading market, the buffer city appears much emptier.

It feels like suddenly walking from a busy city to a remote corner.

They came to the residential buildings in Area 1. The residential buildings here were lined up in a row, and some more were under construction in the back.

There were also groups of residents chatting downstairs in the residential building.

Zhou Dafu asked two passers-by, found the location of the Housing Management Office, and quickly completed the registration.

After registration.

Zhou Dafu took the key and found the room assigned to him.

HC-18-305, this is the room number.

H stands for buffer city, and C stands for C-grade housing, the lowest grade housing.

The rent per person per day is 0.01 points.

18 is the building number, and 305 is room 5 on the third floor.

They were lucky that there was no one else in the room.

Room for twelve.

The room is not big, but it is clean.

It was simple, with only six bunk beds and a tall cabinet, each of which was numbered.

Besides, there was no furniture of any kind.

The windows are not big either.

But, they finally had a place to live in the oil city.

Living in a cave for many years is actually not easy.

The cave was dark and damp, and this room was a little small and a bit crowded.

There is no furniture and no bathroom.

But at least there is electricity and it's safe.

With these, they are already content.

Zhou Dafu sat on a wooden bed, staring blankly.

He looked at the open door. In the distance outside the door, he could vaguely see the lights of the building opposite and the figures in the corridor.

Suddenly,
He smiled.

"Not bad," he thought to himself.
