Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2036 Legal or Illegal? This is the Apocalypse!
evening.

Oil City.

dormitory.

The First Transport Brigade just returned to the oil city from the north today, and will be loading greenhouses and other supplies for transport to the northwest tomorrow.

sunset.

The imperial concubine stood on the roof of the dormitory building, gazing at the tall oil well tower not far away.

"Imperial Consort".

When the Imperial Concubine heard the voice behind her, she turned around and saw that it was Zuo Ruxue.

"Sister Xue, how did you know I was here?"

Zuo Ruxue smiled. "Xiao Luo said it."

She approached and stood side by side with the Imperial Concubine, placing her hands on the railing.

"What? You're reluctant to leave the First Brigade?"

Yesterday, they received a transfer order from headquarters, appointing Consort Gui and Guo Peng as the heads of the third transport team, and ordering them to immediately go to the oil city to recruit personnel.

The Imperial Concubine just arrived in the oil city today. According to the original plan, she was to go to the Northwest with the First Transport Brigade.

But yesterday's transfer order changed everything.

Next, she and Guo Peng will be in charge of a transportation team together.

Tremendous stress.

The sunset on the horizon was extremely beautiful, reflecting on the concubine's face and making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"This is too sudden, Sister Xue. Do you think I can do it?" the Imperial Concubine said, somewhat unsure of herself.

Zuo Ruxue glanced at her, "Of course, you can definitely do it."

"You've been working in the First Transportation Brigade for quite some time now. Transportation work isn't that complicated. Just be careful in everything you do."

"But."

The Imperial Concubine muttered:
“But I didn’t have to be in charge of the entire team before.”

"Furthermore, I heard that all the transport vehicles this time are the latest electric trucks. I wonder how stable they are."

Zuo Ruxue advised:

"You still doubt the quality of the products produced at headquarters? Relax, there's no problem. Why think so much?"

"By the way, you should be quite familiar with Guo Peng, who's in charge of the third transport team with you, right?"

The Imperial Concubine nodded and said:
“I had dealings with them before when I was in the North, so we were fairly familiar with each other.”

"Where is he? He should have just arrived in the oil city today, right? Shouldn't we meet him?" Zuo Ruxue asked.

The imperial concubine looked towards the trading market and said:

"He's in the business district, probably with Xiao Hu and the others."

"Hahahaha." Zuo Ruxue laughed, "These three brothers are really interesting. I was one of the first to join Dazhangshu with them, and now all three of them are in the transportation business."

The three people she mentioned were Xiao Hu, Guo Peng, and Zhu Xiao.

The three of them, along with Yu Lei, Li Qi, and Zuo Ruxue, were the six of them who led their respective teams to cooperate with the early camphor tree, acting as unofficial members to help search for supplies.

Many years have passed, and all six of them are still alive.

Yu Lei is currently at the headquarters base in Dazhangshu, responsible for guarding the entrance to the buffer city.

She, Xiao Hu, Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao, and Li Qi all joined the transportation brigade.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's been 6 years since I joined the camphor tree.

In six years, the entire camphor tree underwent a tremendous transformation.

If we include the Oriental Paradise branch bases alone, there are four.

The number of employees has grown from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands.

The changes are truly remarkable.

Just as Zuo Ruxue was immersed in her feelings, in the second-floor private room of the Men's Restaurant in the trading market commercial district.

"Come on, let's have a toast," Xiao Hu said, waving his hand at the crowd.

Guo Peng, Chen Dachui, Lao Ying, Shan Zheng, Ma Ma Ye, and Tu Wentan quickly raised their glasses and clinked them together with Xiao Hu.

Among these people, Tu Wentan had his wine glass placed the lowest, his attitude was the most humble, and his face was full of ingratiating smiles.

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Chen Dachui laughed loudly, "Gentlemen, tonight at my macho restaurant, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

After saying that, he turned to a waiter standing nearby and said:
"Xiao Liu, have Chef Zhang cook a few more dishes!"

Xiao Hu waved his hand and said:
"No need, Big Hammer. There are only seven of us, and we already have more than a dozen dishes. We can't finish any more. Let's leave it at that."

Chen Dachui said boldly:

"Brother Tiger, don't be so polite with me. It's our own restaurant, and since the brothers are here, how can we not make sure they're taken care of?"

Guo Peng pointed at Chen Dachui and said with a laugh:

"No need, that's too extravagant and wasteful. We probably won't be able to finish all this food."

Tu Wentan obsequiously echoed:
"Hey, there's already a lot of food."

Hearing the three of them trying to persuade him, Chen Dachui reluctantly gave up, but he got up and took out another bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him.

The packaging box was not completely intact, but the wine bottle inside was intact.

Dream Blue.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Hu's eyes were filled with surprise when he saw the bottle of wine.

"The original?"

Chen Dachui laughed and said, "Of course, I received it from a scavenger a few days ago."

He carefully opened the bottle and poured a glass for Xiao Hu and Guo Peng first. When it was Tu Wentan's turn to pour a glass, he hesitated for a moment, but still poured him a glass.

Xiao Hu gave a thumbs up and said:

"This stuff is incredibly rare, so scarce. It's been eight years since the apocalypse, and we still manage to get a taste of it."

"No wonder you're a big boss with three shops in the business district. Your braised food shop, tattoo parlor, and this muscular restaurant are all doing very well. You're such a tycoon!"

Chen Dachui placed the bottle on the table, scratched his head, and replied:

"My wife manages all of this; I mainly take care of things within the team."

"I'm just a nobody, I'd rather Tiger and Peng live it up, leading the transport team around, how cool would that be?"

"Unlike us members of the militia brigade, we're always maintaining order at the construction site, or escorting construction workers to the plantations outside the city."

Chen Dachui also joined the Minwu Brigade. Among the first batch of support personnel who came from the northern border were Tu Wentan, Chen Dachui, Miao Tianji, He Tian, ​​and others.

When they first arrived in the oil city, they were among the first group of builders responsible for constructing the trading market.

It can be said that their group was among the first to arrive in the oil city, apart from those sent from the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

They arrived even earlier than Xie Dongming. By the time Xie Dongming arrived, the outer walls of the trading market were almost completely built.

Later, the Minwu Office expanded its scale, and the number of people in the trading market increased.

Chen Dachui and his group then signed up to run for the People's Armed Forces Brigade. Chen Dachui had a lot of men under his command.

During the screening process, many of his men failed the test, so Chen Dachui had his wife lead these men to open a shop in the commercial district.

He happened to catch the fast train of the trading market. His first braised food shop did very well, and later he opened a muscular restaurant and a tattoo and barber shop, all of which were very successful.

Chen Dachui, now a Level 3 personnel, has authority and points.

They lived a very comfortable life in the trading market.

As for Tu Wentan, he could have joined the Civil Armed Forces Department when it expanded its recruitment, just like Chen Dachui.

However, because he had previously protected and indulged his subordinates in their arguments and conflicts with Chen Er and his group.

And it was the fault of his subordinates, who maliciously provoked him, taking advantage of the fact that Li Tie had a crush on Tu Wentan's sister, Tu Tu.

Tu Tu also used this to blackmail Li Tie into favoring them, otherwise he would not be on good terms with him.

Li Tie saw through Tu Tu's true colors and resolutely left Tu Tu, leaving the conflict to Li Zhengping to handle impartially.

Tu Wentan and others were given demerits, and the troublemaker was killed.

Since then, Tu Wentan has remained at the fourth-level position and has not been promoted in all these years.

He is still working on the construction site. Tu Wentan has been promoted to Level 1 Supervisor (the lowest level of supervisor), but he is still a Level 4 worker.

Everyone in his batch advanced to level three, and some even reached level two. One wrong step can lead to eternal regret.

He made a mistake, and that incident was recorded in his file.

From that point on, he had no chance of joining the military or getting promoted in his lifetime.

Because there are many requirements, whether you want to join the military or the Ministry of the Interior, or to upgrade your rank.

One of the requirements is to reach a certain contribution score.

He has accumulated enough contribution points over the years in the trading market.

But the second requirement is assessment.

This assessment involves loyalty to the camphor tree, personal character, and will also review past experiences of seriously damaging the camphor tree.

Tu Wentan had previously maliciously protected his subordinates, causing internal strife among the construction workers, and had also used his sister to coerce Li Tie into helping him, which Li Tie found extremely repulsive.

This means he will never be able to become a Level 3 personnel in his lifetime.

Tu Wentan looked at Chen Dachui, who was chatting with Xiao Hu with his arm around his shoulder, and on his right, Ma Maye, Shan Zheng, Lao Ying, and a few others, who were clinking glasses and chatting with Guo Peng. He was filled with annoyance.

Of everyone present, he was the lowest in rank.

If Shan Zheng and Ma Ma hadn't mentioned him before the gathering, he probably wouldn't have been qualified to attend.

Back then, we were both leaders of forces affiliated with the Northern Territory.

Ma Ma, Shan Zheng, Lao Ying, and a few others stayed in the North to develop their careers.

He, along with Chen Dachui, Miao Tianji, He Tian, ​​Tong Rugui, and others, came to the oil city to participate in the volunteer construction project.

After construction was completed, Miao Tianji and He Tian and a few others went to the headquarters base in Dazhangshu to develop their business.

nowadays.

Only he and Chen Dachui remained in the oil city. Chen Dachui was now a level three personnel and also owned three very successful stores, living a very comfortable life.

He Tian and his colleagues are doing very well at the headquarters base, and as Level 3 personnel, they enjoy excellent benefits.

Meanwhile, Ma Ma, Shan Zheng, and Lao Ying, who remained in the northern border, were also responsible for planting and guarding work over the years. They were also level three personnel and were in the militia brigade.

The same group of people, whether they stayed in the North, came to Oil City, or went to the headquarters, all fared better than him.

Watching their lively scene, Tu Wentan felt increasingly saddened.

It was definitely a difference in social standing; he felt incredibly inferior in front of these people and found it difficult to integrate into their group.

Just as he was feeling down, Shan Zheng, who had a good relationship with him back in the North, patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Tu, come on, let's have a drink."

Tu Wentan forced a smile. "Alright, Brother Shan."

The wine glass, held aloft with both hands, was placed beneath the single, upright glass.
Dan Zheng looked at the somewhat humble Tu Wentan and sighed inwardly.

He had also heard Chen Dachui talk about Tu Wentan's activities at the trading market.

So confusing.

That's such a pity.

Of all people to offend, why did he have to offend Li Tie?

At the time, he even tried to use his sister to force Li Tie to take sides, but unfortunately, Chen Er and his group from Oriental Paradise had just arrived and didn't have a high level of acceptance of the Oil City.

Moreover, it was Tu Wentan and his group who started the trouble and made the first move; the people from Oriental Paradise didn't make a move.

The regulations for trading markets are in their early stages of being drafted.

Tu Wentan asked Li Tie for help, but if Li Tie dared to interfere and take sides, many problems would arise.

No one will follow a rule anymore because it's unfair; if even the people who make the rules don't follow them, who would want to?

Secondly, it would offend the people at Oriental Paradise. These people were originally called over by Tiger to help with the construction. If they come to help and you still make things difficult for them, the people at Oriental Paradise might just give up and not dare to do it again.

Back then, we were short-handed, and we needed the help of the people from Oriental Paradise to build the trading market.

For all these reasons, Tu Wentan and his accomplices were punished.

Even now, Tu Wentan is still suffering the consequences of what happened back then.

"Old Tu, why were you so foolish back then?" Shan Zheng said to Tu Wentan with some regret.

Tu Wentan sat in his chair, his face filled with melancholy, and said:
"I was out of my mind at the time."

"Sigh," Shan Zheng sighed, picked up a bottle of wine from the table, and poured it for him.

"Come, drink."

"Uh-huh!"

The group drank until after 11 p.m.

Xiao Hu, his face flushed from drinking, patted Guo Peng on the shoulder and laughed:
"Want to get a scrub?"

"Let's go, but I won't go up to the second floor. I still need to discuss the preparations for the third transport fleet with the Imperial Concubine tomorrow," Guo Peng said with a smile.

Ma Ma, Shan Zheng, and others followed Chen Dachui to the Emperor Bathhouse.

On the way, Shan Zheng asked Guo Peng, who was ahead of him, with curiosity:
"Brother Peng, why did you ask me if I liked female celebrities when we were on the way here today?"

Apart from Shan Zheng, Ma Ma Ye, and Lao Ying, everyone else present burst into laughter.

Xiao Hu said with a smile:

"The world is vast, yet also small. Several female celebrities from before the apocalypse have gathered in Tingfeng Tower."

"What kind of place is Tingfeng Tower?" Mama asked.

Xiao Hu smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out when you get there."

Seeing Xiao Hu's mysterious smile, Shan Zheng was stunned.

"Is this even legal?"

Xiao Hu laughed heartily, "What do you think? This is the apocalypse!"

"Holy crap! Awesome! I love the apocalypse!" Shan Zheng's eyes gradually lit up.

"Hey brothers, tell me in detail, who are they?"

Headquarters Base of Dazhangshu.

Administrative building.

The third floor was brightly lit.

Ding Jiu is still working overtime here.

"Old Tao, how's the No. 1 plantation outside the city progressing?"

Tao Yifeng put down his pen, looked up, and replied:

"It will be built in ten days!"

"The greenhouses at the plantation outside City No. 1 are under construction at the same time, and the perimeter wall will be completed soon. Once the perimeter wall is completed, we will lay water and electricity, as well as smart mobile switches and ultraviolet lamps. We have experience in doing these things, so it will be quick."

"Hmm." Ding Jiu nodded and looked at Xie Wen sitting opposite him:

"Old Xie, how's the construction of Edge City going? How many meters have been built?"

Xie Wen replied awkwardly:

"We've only built two thousand meters of wall. Chief Engineer Ding, as you know, most of our manpower has been transferred to the plantation outside City One. I don't have enough manpower here, so it will probably take another five months."

Ding Jiu wasn't angry when he heard about the five-month timeframe, since the buffer city's construction priority wasn't high.

The highest priority now is plantations outside the city.

There has been a bias towards certain aspects, including manpower and resources.

It's normal for the construction of the Edge City to be progressing more slowly.

Ding Jiu looked at the others in the office and said, "Come here, everyone. We'll have a short meeting."

Bi Yuning, Tao Yifeng, Xie Wen and several other general managers came over.

"I'm going out tomorrow to inspect the construction progress of the Oil City, the Northwest, and the Oriental Paradise and Northwest branch bases. It will probably take at least half a month."

"I won't be at headquarters for the next two weeks, so the construction work here will be handled by you."

"First of all, the city lord and the chairman have repeatedly emphasized that the plantation outside the city is of utmost importance, so Plantation No. 1 must be completed in a timely manner. Once it is completed, people from the Ministry of Agriculture will come over."

"Old Tao, when you hand over the work to the Ministry of Agriculture, try your best to meet their requirements. Do whatever they ask you to fill in."

"In addition, once the No. 1 plantation outside the city is completed, the site for the No. 2 plantation outside the city has been selected. Construction of the No. 2 plantation outside the city will begin immediately, and the construction team cannot be allowed to stop."

"Xie Wen, that passageway connecting the headquarters to the plantation outside the city still needs further reinforcement. We need to take into account the possibility of various natural disasters."
