Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2027 Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that? Fish Leong?
Ju Tianrui spent the whole day at the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base.

They conducted an in-depth investigation into the construction progress of the entire agricultural and pastoral base and gained an understanding of the problems that Zheng Hanbing and his team are currently facing.

However, he also learned from the head of the headquarters base that the transport convoy would not be able to reach them for another week regarding the construction materials for the greenhouse.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Although there are two transport teams now, there are still a lot of supplies to be transported to Oil City, the North, and the headquarters.

A transport convoy takes four days to travel from one branch base to another.

The loading and unloading of goods had already been done overnight. Even if the logistics staff at the branch base worked through the night, it would still take at least four days to travel back and forth between the two bases.

The second transport convoy is currently in Oil City, but it's heading to the North next.

The first transport convoy is currently en route from the oil city to the headquarters base and is expected to arrive tomorrow.

We will depart from the headquarters early the day after tomorrow, head to the oil city, and then to the northwest. It is estimated that it will take 6 days to reach the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base.

Currently, the Dazhangshu base only has two transport convoys, which is far from sufficient to meet the needs of all the branch bases of the Dazhangshu faction.

However, building a transport fleet requires a sufficient number of robust vehicles, and it's impossible to get that many vehicles in a short time. The only hope is to rely on the new energy vehicle manufacturing plant at the headquarters.

After leaving the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base, Ju Tianrui and his group immediately headed to Wuyuan Mountain.

Wuyuan Mountain is located in Lanzhou, at a strategic point leading to the hinterland of Northwest China, and has been a battleground since ancient times.

Previously, the Northwest tycoon controlled Wuyuan Mountain to block zombies from the east, resulting in very few zombies in the entire Northwest.

.........

Wuyuan Mountain.

A militia brigade was stationed here, along with more than 300 prisoners of war from the Northwest and dozens of construction workers transferred from the oil city.

Although Wuyuan Mountain remains dilapidated after more than two months of repairs.

However, smart mobile switches and ultraviolet lights have been installed on the original walls.

The wall around Wuyuan Mountain is not high, only sixteen meters, but it is high enough to install a layer of mobile switchboards.

At this moment, dozens of combat personnel were patrolling the wall.

Inside the city, some people are still repairing their houses.

buzzing-

Upon spotting the helicopter overhead, the guards on the wall immediately took out their binoculars to examine it.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the large camphor tree symbol on the helicopter.

"Captain Meng, one of our helicopters is flying over from the west. It might be Director Ju and his team."

In the past two months, Ju Tianrui has come over almost every week.

At that moment, Meng Zi, who was busy repairing a car in a building in Wuyuan Mountain, crawled out from under the car after hearing the voice of the walkie-talkie placed next to him.

He wiped his hands with a towel, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he immediately ran towards the Wuyuanshan helipad.

He quickly reached the helipad at the top of the mountain.

Just then, Ju Tianrui and his group stepped out of the helicopter.

He went to meet him.

"Director Ju, Captain Dongtai, you've arrived."

Ju Tianrui noticed the black oil stains on his face and asked, "Fixing a car again?"

Upon hearing Ju Tianrui's question, Meng Zi realized that he had forgotten to wash his face before coming over.

He quickly wiped his face with his sleeve.

He said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Those cars that had problems, the others couldn't fix them no matter how many times they tried. So I had to take matters into my own hands and fix them myself."

Meng Zi used to be a car mechanic, so he often felt the urge to repair cars.

Upon hearing this, Ju Tianrui frowned slightly:
"I'm handing over Wuyuan Mountain to you. You need to manage it well; repairing cars is not your responsibility."

It's been over two months, and the reconstruction work at Wuyuan Mountain is progressing so slowly. You need to pay more attention!

As he spoke, Ju Tianrui's tone became increasingly serious.

There is no harm without comparison.

Ju Tianrui had just come from the Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Branch Base, so naturally he would compare the Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Branch Base with this one.

Compared to the progress of the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base, the pace here is far too slow.

After being pointed out by Ju Tianrui, Meng Zi stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Ju Tianrui has always been easy to talk to and generally treats his subordinates very well.

But this time, it was clear that Director Ju Tianrui was somewhat dissatisfied with him.

"Director, I understand. I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Ju Tianrui glanced at him and walked straight down the mountain.

"Are the zombie generators all installed?"

"Alright, alright, it was installed just a few days after you told me last time," Meng Zi continued. "Now, all the electricity used in Wuyuan Mountain is generated by the zombie generators."

Ju Tianrui turned his head and continued to ask:

"Are those prisoners from the Northwest still behaving themselves?"

“They’re quite honest. We have people watching them,” Meng Zi nodded in reply.

Ju Tianrui did not listen to only his side of the story, but went directly to the construction site.

According to the plan, in addition to the basic mobile switch and ultraviolet lamp on the wall, there are other buildings on Wuyuan Mountain.

For example, greenhouses used in agricultural production.

Before Ju Tianrui and his group arrived at the greenhouse construction site, the workers there had already started pretending to be busy.

However, the greenhouse materials at the construction site were simply piled up on the roadside, exposing the problems at the site.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ju Tianrui's spirits plummeted.

The Zhangye Agricultural and Livestock Foundation delivered materials for over 100 greenhouses, but only 30 sets of greenhouse materials were delivered here.

It's been delivered for so long, but the foundation has only just been laid, and construction hasn't even started yet.

Compared to the Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base, the efficiency here is ridiculously low!
of course.

The Zhangye agricultural and pastoral base has an advantage in terms of manpower, but the difference is just too great!
Moreover, during his inspection of the construction site, he discovered that many people there were only pretending to work.

As I left, I could see out of the corner of my eye that some workers simply threw their tools on the ground.

He turned his head to look at Dongtai, "Who is in charge of the construction on Wuyuan Mountain?"

Seeing Ju Tianrui's expression, Dongtai naturally knew what Ju Tianrui was thinking after so many years of getting along.

He quickly replied:
"Liu Benshan used to work for Liu Yu in the oil city; he was a first-level supervisor."

"Let him come over." Ju Tianrui looked at Meng Zi.

Meng Zi sensed something was wrong and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

They ran away quickly.

Ju Tianrui watched Meng Zi's departing figure with a complicated expression.

Meng Zi is considered a veteran of the Big Camphor Tree Base, and he was even among the same group of people who joined the Big Camphor Tree Base at the same time.

However, he had previously been warned and disciplined for being lazy and making some mistakes in the oil city.

He didn't learn from his mistakes and made another error, which angered his third uncle, who then demoted him to a fifth-level position.

Later, this guy actually proved to be quite capable, and by accumulating contributions, he rose to level three.

Considering that he was an old man from the camphor tree, they gave him another chance and allowed him to return to the position of Level 3 personnel, serving as the captain of the militia brigade.

The group of people under his command were the same ones who had been his subordinates back then.

He had come along on the last expedition to the Northwest, but because Chen Er and his group from the Southern Paradise had a grudge against the prisoners from the Northwest, they didn't let Chen Er and his group stay, but instead let Meng Zi and his group stay.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zi was so lazy.

Ju Tianrui's eyes flashed with a gloomy light. He was already considering whether to report the matter to the headquarters and have Meng Zi demoted through personnel decisions.
If you give him a chance and he doesn't cherish it, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Things are different now than before. Back when there were fewer people, leveling up was relatively faster.

But now that there are more people, the contribution points needed to upgrade have also increased, making the competition more intense. If he is demoted again, he will most likely not be able to return to level three.

Those in his batch were mostly level two personnel.

This Mengzi...

Ju Tianrui let out a long sigh.

Hearing Ju Tianrui sigh, Dongtai realized that Mengzi was probably in trouble now.

A few minutes later.

Meng Zi rushed over with Liu Benshan.
Liu Benshan was covered in sweat; he joined the oil city after it was established.

It went through the construction of commercial districts, waterworks, various factories in the oil city, and buffer zones...

Even within the construction teams of the oil city, he was considered a core member. After conquering the Northwest, he came to support the Northwest with the transport convoy.

These support staff are basically there to contribute and level up faster.

He originally wanted to make a name for himself in Wuyuan Mountain, quickly get promoted, and then be transferred back to the oil city.

Unexpectedly, after he arrived here, the captured workers from the Northwest completely ignored him.

He wasn't a combatant after all; he didn't have a gun and therefore had no deterrent effect.

Moreover, it was the responsibility of the combatants from Mengzi to guard these prisoners.

So he went to Mengzi, hoping to get his support so that he could at least teach those captured workers a lesson and get them to work harder.

However, Meng Zi came to the construction site twice, scolded them, and then nothing more was said.

These prisoners from the Northwest were seasoned veterans, used to a leisurely life under their superiors.

They were naturally unwilling to be suddenly forced to do hard labor under the sun on a construction site.

Especially after seeing the attitude of Meng Zi, the captain of the militia brigade, they became even more arrogant.

They even dared to openly disobey the supervisor.

This infuriated Liu Benshan.

……

Liu Benshan and Meng Zi arrived in front of Ju Tianrui and the others.

"Director Ju, I've brought Liu Benshan with you." Meng Zi said in a flattering tone when he saw that Ju Tianrui's expression was off.

Ju Tianrui nodded and waved his hand, "Find a place to stay by yourself first, I'll talk to Liu Benshan."

Meng Zi's expression suddenly changed. Director Ju wanted to talk to Meng Zi privately, and obviously didn't want him to hear.

Depend on……

But since Ju Tianrui had already said so, Meng Zi had no choice but to leave with a heavy expression.

After Mengzi left.

Ju Tianrui, without any preamble, asked without any build-up, "Why is the construction speed here so slow? Is it your problem or someone else's?"

Liu Benshan was embarrassed; he hadn't expected Ju Tianrui to be so direct.

He glanced with some concern in the direction Meng Zi had left.
He was weighing whether or not to tell the truth.

In fact, he had also spoken with Meng Zi, who meant that he did not want to cause a mutiny among the prisoners.

Violent suppression could easily provoke an uprising among these prisoners.

Based on the principle of peaceful coexistence, Mengzi preferred to avoid trouble and let things take their course.

Let Liu Benshan continue building it; after all, the big camphor tree is so strong, it doesn't have many enemies.

Moreover, the oil city has so much grain that it can support the Northwest.

Liu Benshan's words carried little weight, and he couldn't persuade Meng Zi, which angered Meng Zi to the point that he considered applying to leave the Northwest region.

However, if he submits the application, it will be very troublesome for him to get a promotion after he returns.
They'll say you're afraid of hardship and give up halfway.

So he's feeling a bit down here.

At this moment, Ju Tianrui asked him directly. If he told the truth, he would offend Meng Zi, who was the manager of Wuyuan Mountain.

If I offend him, how will I be able to do anything in Wuyuan Mountain in the future?

But if he doesn't say it directly, the problem won't be solved, and Ju Tianrui might blame him.

Damn it, I'm in a dilemma.

Just as he was in a dilemma, Ju Tianrui said, "Since I asked Meng Zi to leave, it's because I want to hear your truth. Just tell the truth, and don't worry about anything else. I'll take responsibility for you."

After hearing Ju Tianrui's words, Liu Benshan immediately straightened his back.

"Director Ju, the situation here is a bit complicated. These prisoner workers are being unruly... I want them to work, but they're making demands, asking for better food, wanting to reduce their working hours, saying they've never had to do this before..."

.........

He took this opportunity to pour out all the grievances he had been harboring during this period.

As Ju Tianrui listened, his expression grew increasingly grim, and he said angrily:

"Who gave them the courage? What about Meng Zi? Won't he force them?"

Liu Benshan said awkwardly:
"Captain Meng was afraid of causing a mutiny and chaos, so he did not take any strong measures."

"He's probably afraid of trouble, that's why..."

"Waste! Coward!"

"Damn it, all the big shots in the Northwest are dead, and the Northwest base is gone. Who gave them the courage?"

Ju Tianrui said angrily, "Are any of those captured workers troublemakers? Take me there."

Liu Benshan was taken aback; there really was such a thing.

Several former Northwest prisoners of war of relatively high rank led the captured workers in a strike to slack off.

"Yes, I'll take you there."

"What are you waiting for? Lead the way!" Dongtai shouted.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away." Liu Benshan quickly walked towards the construction site.

Ju Tianrui looked at one of his teammates behind him and said, "Tell Meng Zi to get over here!"

The subordinate left.

Liu Benshan led Ju Tianrui and several others to the construction site.
At the construction site, a bearded man was sitting on a large stone slab with his back to Ju Tianrui and his group.

"What's there to be afraid of? There are more of us, and they still need us to work. As long as we unite and go on strike, they can't do anything to us..."

“Listen to me, if they don’t give us more food or let us work one day on and one day off, we’ll go on strike… Don’t worry, don’t be afraid of their guns, they need us…”

"Someone has to do the work on the construction site, right? They can't possibly do it themselves! That's impossible..."

……

Spit flying everywhere, extremely arrogant.
He waved his hands wildly, pointing out the flaws in the landscape.

"Cough cough cough."

The workers ahead of him saw Ju Tianrui and his group and quickly reminded them:

"Brother Sun, the people from the oil city are here."

"Get up and work."

Someone pointed behind the bearded man, indicating that someone was coming.

Upon hearing this, the bearded man was startled, but he quickly regained his composure.

What are you afraid of!
He just started brainwashing himself as he was talking.

"What are you afraid of!"

"Workers are human beings too, can't they even get a break!"

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head, raised it, and looked down at people through his nostrils.

The Northwest Base was once too powerful; even after its destruction, it remained proud.
Just like when the Qing Dynasty collapsed, some remnants of the nobility remained arrogant.

He looked at Ju Tianrui in the center of the crowd and snorted.

"So you're the leader? Let me tell you, if you want to work as well as us, you have to meet three conditions. First..."

boom!
Before he could finish speaking, a bullet pierced his head.

thump!
He fell to the ground and became a corpse.

The captured workers behind him were furious at the sight, but quickly became terrified, lowering their heads one by one, afraid of being targeted by Ju Tianrui.

Meng Zi, who was running over from a distance, tensed up upon hearing the gunshot and sped up his run.

In front of the corpse.

Ju Tianrui, holding a gun, his eyes sharp, said:
"Who gave him the courage to talk to me like that? Fish Leong?"

Liu Benshan was also stunned, but the next second he was overjoyed!
That's more like it!

If we kill them, the other captured workers will obey!

Damn! It would have been so much better to have done this sooner!

"Who else?" Ju Tianrui looked at Liu Benshan.

Liu Benshan straightened his back, feeling great!

"And those other guys, they were all stirring up trouble!"

Death is calling roll.

Whoever is targeted dies.

Ju Tianrui waved his hand, ordering his accompanying guards to go over and shoot down anyone whose name he called.

Bang bang bang bang!
