Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2025: Struggle in the Northern Territory, Great Development and Great Opportunities!
slam-la-

A light drizzle suddenly began to fall on the construction site at the edge of the big camphor tree.

The workers on the construction site all looked up at the clouds in the sky.

"It's raining!"

"The zombies are definitely coming, let's run!"

"We're doomed! We have to get out of here!"

Chaos erupted at the construction site, with some workers even dropping their tools and rushing toward the Dazhangshu buffer zone.

beep—

Just then, the horns of the armored vehicles and blast protection vehicles parked nearby sounded.

"Don't panic. It's very hot during the construction process. The base is conducting a small-scale artificial rainmaking operation to cool things down. It is expected to last for half an hour. Keep working and don't panic."

The announcement was broadcast repeatedly over the loudspeaker.

With the reprimands from the construction site supervisor, the workers finally calmed down.

"I knew it! It started raining out of nowhere, and it only rained in our area."

"I must say, the temperature has dropped a lot since it started raining, it feels so nice~"

"It'll be fine in a little while, it's been so hot these days!"

Upon hearing that it was artificial rain, and seeing that the members of the militia responsible for defending against zombies had not left, the workers immediately calmed down and resumed normal construction.

The rain pattered down on them, making a hissing sound as it fell on the dry, scorching ground.

A rain shower made the construction site much cooler.

During the rainfall, Liu Jianwen directed the militia brigade and the combat brigade to monitor the movements of the surrounding zombies throughout the entire process.

Twenty kilometers away from the big camphor tree, in a mountain valley, there used to be a mine, and there were many zombies in the mine.

These zombies seemed to have smelled the rich moisture and rushed out of the cave.

Before the zombies could escape from the cave, the members of the militia brigade who were monitoring the area detonated the cave entrance, causing it to collapse and burying all the zombies inside.

Scattered zombies also appeared in other areas, but they were shot down by the guards.

Not a single zombie was allowed into the construction site.

The rain stopped.

The temperature suddenly dropped by five or six degrees. Although it was still somewhat humid and hot, it was much better than before.

The rain ignited the workers' passion for construction across the entire site, and the construction speed was much faster than before.

"Old Xie, the artificial rainmaking is working well in the border city. Take the anti-aircraft guns and go to the plantation construction site outside the city to make it rain," Liu Jianwen said to Xie Shangzhou, looking at the sky.

Xie Shangzhou nodded and said, "Okay, Minister Liu."

He then drove with Song Zhihong and the second company of the fourth combat battalion to the plantation outside the city.

They used methods to launch catalysts such as dry ice and salt powder into the air.
These catalysts can accelerate the condensation of water vapor in clouds, forming larger raindrops and thus triggering rainfall.

Anti-aircraft gun shells contain dry ice and salt powder as catalysts.

The artificial rainmaking operation was very effective. They recorded the entire process on video, documenting the amount of catalyst used and the operation method.

This will serve as a reference for artificial rainmaking in the oil city and the northern region later on.

Scorching sun.

M City.

buzzing-

Three sustainable helicopters fly over Xujiahui, the center of the M city.

They had previously learned from surrendered Nirvana beings that the Nirvana beings' lair and Hu Tian were located here.

However, Xujiahui Metro Station has as many as twenty exits, covering a very wide area, and many of these exits are located inside shopping malls.

The surrounding shopping malls include Grand Gateway 66, Metro City, Oriental Shopping Center, Pacific Department Store, etc.

These shopping malls are extremely well-built, and the subway exits are located inside them, so they have absolutely no way to access these exits.

Sneaking in was impossible, given the countless zombies underground.

They have no way to escape once they go in.

The underground space was already cramped, and with the zombies crowding together below, it was impossible to get in.

The helicopter flew over the central Grand Gateway Plaza. Song Qi really wanted to capture Hu Tian alive. He had been busy in M ​​for more than a month on this matter.

But they still couldn't do anything about Hu Tian.

"Instructor, should we go down?" Song Qi asked.

The judge shook his head. "Going down there is suicide."

"I just came here to try my luck."

"Let's go, let's continue hanging up the promotional banners. We're going to the Oriental Pearl Tower."

He then contacted the nuts and ants on the other two sustainable helicopters.

"Jian Guo, you guys go to People's Square."

"Ants, go to Wujiaochang."

"receive."

"receive."

They carried hundreds of giant banners, each bearing warnings reminding the survivors in M ​​City to leave as soon as possible.

Furthermore, during their flight, the helicopter loudspeakers continuously broadcast messages to the survivors who remained there.

They've already hung up most of the banners in the last two days, and they'll have finished hanging them all in another day.

Above the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Zhuang Qian and Jackal were lowered down with ropes around their waists, carrying a giant banner.

Upon reaching the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, the two men nailed the banner to the wall bricks with rivets.

Then spread the banner out.

Wow~
The red banner cascaded downwards like a waterfall.

The two men were tied with ropes, one holding a nailing machine in one hand and smoothing out the banner with the other.

Every now and then, press the banner down and nail it in to make it stick to the glass wall.

They were quick; in just five minutes they had the banner affixed to the outer glass wall of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

The wind was strong, but the banner was firmly nailed to the wall with dozens of nails.

sizzle-

"Alright, pull us up." Jackal shouted into the communicator on his shoulder.

Wuwuwu——

The winch above spun rapidly, pulling the two of them onto the helicopter.

The judge sat in the helicopter, unfolding a map in his hand, which was marked with hundreds of red circles.

The red circles above have many horizontal lines drawn over them; these are the areas where banners were previously hung.

"Have they gotten on yet?" the judge asked from the passenger seat.

“We’re up,” one of the team members replied.

The judge turned his head and glanced into the cabin, seeing Zhuang Qian and Jackal untying their restraints. He then addressed the pilot:
"Let's go, to the next place: Suzhou Creek."

north.

It was a hectic day.

Ah Hong was responsible for arranging accommodations for these supporters and showing them around the area.

According to their rank, those at level three and above lived in the inner city, while those below level three lived in the outer city.

City Lord's Mansion.

Lü Cheng and Li Haoran met with the representatives of the support team that had come this time.

Zuo Ruxue pointed to the people lined up behind her and introduced them to Lü Cheng and Li Haoran one by one.

"Director Lü, Supervisor Li, this is Zhou Zhengsheng, the captain of the 35th Detachment of the People's Armed Forces Department."

Zhou Zhengsheng had initially followed Zhang Rufeng, and later, when the Civil Armed Forces Department expanded its recruitment, he was transferred there to serve as a brigade captain.

Back then, he and Zhang Rufeng were both members of the Western Alliance. Later, due to the oppression of the Gan family, Zhang Rufeng and Zhou Zhengsheng were eventually driven out of the Western Alliance.

After leaving the Western Alliance, they went to the Three Mountains stronghold. Threatened by natural disasters and attacked by villains in the Southeast Asian fraud zone in the south, they once again embarked on a life of wandering.

Later, they arrived at the Big Camphor Tree Base, and for the next few years, they remained within the Big Camphor Tree faction.

Nowadays, most of them have become Level 3 personnel.

Two people even became captains of the militia brigade: Zhou Zhengsheng and Zhang Rufeng.

At Zuo Ruxue's introduction, Zhou Zhengsheng quickly nodded to the two of them and waved to greet them.

"Hello, leaders."

Zhou Zhengsheng was a shrewd man; he didn't address either of them by their titles, but instead called them both "leader," without any order of precedence.

According to the hierarchy of the Great Camphor Tree system, Lü Cheng's rank is definitely higher than Li Haoran's.

However, Li Haoran is the city lord's cousin and the guild leader's biological son.

Everyone knows that the entire power in the camphor tree belongs to the Li family.

Although Li Haoran is currently only in charge of internal affairs in the Northern Territory, the military field is under the control of Lü Cheng.

However, it wasn't clear who was older or younger than the other.

Perhaps in Zuo Ruxue's view, Lü Cheng had a higher status, and the Northern Territory mainly listened to Lü Cheng; otherwise, she wouldn't have put Lü Cheng first when introducing him.

However, in Zhou Zhengsheng's view, it is still unknown.

Having just arrived in the North, we should observe for a while before making any decisions.

Therefore, he addressed both of them as "leader" without any order of precedence.

Lu Cheng and Li Haoran nodded slightly to him.

Zuo Ruxue paused for a few seconds upon hearing Zhou Zhengsheng's address.

Then, continuing his introduction, he pointed to a tall, muscular man with a thick beard behind Zhou Zhengsheng and said:

"Two leaders, this is Lai Jingyu, the captain of the 40th Detachment of the People's Armed Forces Department."

Lu Cheng and Li Haoran continued to nod, both of them actually very happy that two new members of the People's Armed Forces Brigade could be added this time.

After all, these are real combat personnel.

It can directly enhance the combat capabilities of the North.

"This is Bai Zichuan. Bai Gong was previously in charge of the expansion and construction of the commercial district of the oil city, and also participated in the construction of the buffer city of the oil city. His position was chief supervisor, at the same level as Tao Yifeng, Xie Wen, Ding Wu, Liu Yu and others."

"This is Professor Chu Juan, a very key expert in the agricultural department of the oil city. She brought five of her students with her to support the planting industry in the northern region."

"This is Professor Huo Ci, a professor of economics and management before the apocalypse, and one of the architects of the commercial plan for the commercial district of the oil city. He is here to help build new businesses in the northern region."

"This is Sun Zhengyi, the factory manager transferred from the Oil City Machinery Factory. He has extensive management experience."

As Zuo Ruxue introduced the situation, the smiles on Lü Cheng and Li Haoran's faces became even more pronounced.

These people are all incredibly talented!
Listen to their resumes; they are all very accomplished and have all participated in shaping the oil city's agriculture, commerce, industry, construction, and other fields.

They had previously heard the city lord say that he wanted to build the northern region into another oil city.

This was definitely not a joke.

This is only the first batch of support personnel; there will be a second, third, fourth, and fifth batches to follow.

Five batches, totaling 10,000 support personnel, came to the North.

Back then, the entire Northern region only had three or four thousand people in total.

The first batch of 2,000 supporters has now arrived, covering various sectors.

In addition, after Dazhangshu repositioned the northern border, it received more than just policy support.

They opened up the North to the outside world, attracting survivors from elsewhere.

In addition, there is support in terms of personnel, materials, and so on.

This is genuine and tangible help.

Zuo Ruxue introduced the dozen or so people to Lü Cheng and Li Hao, and then there was no point in her staying there.

So he said to Lü Cheng:

"Director Lü, I guess we don't need you here anymore? I'll head out now."

Lu Cheng looked at Li Haoran, who shook his head.

Lu Cheng nodded and said, "Alright, thank you for your hard work. You must be tired from the journey. Please get some rest."

Among the crowd below, Zhou Zhengsheng saw this scene and his eyes flickered slightly.

Zuo Ruxue belongs to the Transportation Brigade, which is under the Logistics Department, which in turn is under the Internal Affairs Department.

Logically speaking, Li Haoran is also a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he does not belong to any department within the Ministry of Internal Affairs; instead, he directly manages the overall internal affairs of the Northern Territory.

Actually, he was Zuo Ruxue's superior.

However, Zuo Ruxue reported to Lü Cheng, possibly because she had previously worked in the military and was accustomed to reporting to the leaders there.

Moreover, the First Transportation Brigade led by Zuo Ruxue was originally transformed from the Minwu Brigade.

Their combat power is also extremely astonishing.

But.
What Zuo Ruxue did was actually somewhat inappropriate.

Zhou Zhengsheng observed quietly while constantly pondering in his mind.

After Zuo Ruxue left, Li Haoran and Lü Cheng took their seats.

Lu Cheng looked at Li Haoran and said:

"Manager Li, you are in charge of internal affairs in the North, so you can handle it."

Li Haoran didn't refuse and nodded, saying:
"Ok."

Li Haoran waved to everyone, signaling them to sit down.

"Everyone, please sit down first."

The group looked at each other, and only after Lai Jingyu sat down did the others follow suit.

After pondering for a moment, Li Haoran said:

"First of all, welcome to the North. Thank you for traveling all the way from Oil City to the North."

As you all walked in, you should have seen what the North looks like; it's very large! But very little of it has been developed.

Many of you probably still remember the high-level meeting that the city lord started more than half a month ago.

The northern region is being repositioned as an oil city.

We must vigorously develop in all sectors, including commerce, agriculture, and industry.

Great development means great opportunities, and I believe that everyone understands this reasoning when they are willing to come to the North from the Oil City.

Next, the North will experience a period of rapid development. I hope everyone can make a difference in this great development. As long as you make a contribution, I will definitely apply to headquarters for your promotion!

Everyone wants to see a prosperous oil city rebuilt in your hands!

"

Li Haoran spoke passionately, giving a speech to the crowd below the stage.

And you know what? The people below were all fired up.

After all, the reason they were willing to leave the stable and prosperous oil city and come to the North was not just for the improved treatment and benefits.

More than anything, they wanted to develop a career and make a contribution in the development of the North.

Upgrading the power of the Great Camphor Tree is simple; it all comes down to contributions.

The greater your contribution, the faster you will level up.

Just like Lao Huang, who was just an ordinary level four member back then.

After the establishment of the commercial district in the oil city, he served as the director of the commercial district and then the director of the trading market.

From a level 4 staff member, to a level 3 staff member, and now to a level 2 staff member.

The upgrade speed is simply terrifying.

More importantly, with the development of trading markets.

The trading market developed into a city with hundreds of thousands of people and a huge commercial district.

And all of these are managed by Lao Huang.

He wielded immense power.

This is something that countless people envy.

Thank you so much to [无痕] for the generous donation!
