Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2100 High-end Talents
sunset.

Outside the gate of Oriental Paradise.

There was a long queue. On the right was the queue to enter Oriental Paradise. There were two pedestrian walkways and one vehicle lane.

The line on the left is the one that's leaving.

Although it was about to get dark, for the scavengers, there were no zombies outside, so they could still search for supplies even after dark.

Time is money, and they race against the clock. Even at night, teams would go out to search for supplies.

For these scavengers at Oriental Paradise, they had been in a state of hunger for far too long.

Now, as long as they find the supplies on the list and bring them back, they can exchange them for points, and then use those points to buy food and other items. This was something they would never have dared to imagine before.

So they all went out desperately to find the supplies on the list.

After Zhou Ning and the others arrived, they obediently lined up and drove inside.

Dog Brother listened to Zhou Ning's instructions:

"After you go in, you will be registered. Since this is your first time visiting the camphor tree base, you will need to fill out a detailed personal information form. Just fill it out truthfully."

Dog Brother and his four companions listened quietly.

Along the way, they gained a preliminary understanding of the power of the Big Camphor Tree and Oriental Paradise from Zhou Ning.

In a sense, being able to rely on such a powerful force is far better than fighting alone in the outside world.

Especially now, with the drought and high temperatures, the zombies have returned to the ocean.

These survivors can exchange collected supplies for points, which is a low-risk, high-profit activity that is an irresistible temptation.

As time passed, they entered the gates of Oriental Paradise.

The militia members guarding the gate made them all get out of the car and conducted a brief inspection of the vehicle.

Exclude carrying dangerous or explosive materials.

A squad leader from a local militia brigade took the team number tag that Zhou Ning handed over.

After swiping the card on the card reader, the computer displayed Zhou Ning's team information:

Team number: 43139
Team size: 19 people.

Captain: Zhou Ning.

Team member: Li Dou.

Team member: Zhao Liuyi.

After carefully reviewing the information on the computer, the team leader looked up and counted the members of Zhou Ning's group.

Before he could even finish ordering, Zhou Ning volunteered to report:

"Team Leader Sun, we brought back five new recruits this time, making a total of 24 people."

Team Leader Sun glared at him, annoyed that he had been interrupted while counting, and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

After he finished speaking, he counted again, and sure enough, there were 24 people.

He pointed towards the gate.

"Take them inside to register; you should know the rules."

"in addition."

Team Leader Sun continued:

"I just saw you rented five handguns; you'll have to hand them in when you enter the city."

Zhou Ning quickly said:

"We know the rules, Team Leader Sun, please rest assured."

"Hmm." Team Leader Sun called over the team members who were inspecting the vehicle, and learned that there were no explosive or dangerous items on their vehicle.

He then let Zhou Ning and the others go in first.

After they entered the gate, Team Leader Sun picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the team members inside:

"Team ID 43139, five new members added. Please register them on your end."

"Also, they rented five guns; remember to collect them."

Meanwhile, Zhou Ning and his group drove into Oriental Paradise.

After entering Oriental Paradise, you still need to pass through two checkpoints.

That was just a security check to identify dangerous items.

At the first checkpoint upon entering Oriental Paradise, Zhou Ning handed over three pistols.

At the second checkpoint, Zhou Ning led Dog Brother and the other four to the registration desk to register.

Even though it was almost dark, there were still quite a few people at the registration desk, and they waited in line for several minutes before it was their turn.

Coconut walked up to one of the registration desks. The staff member behind the computer at the desk glanced at her and asked:

"Name."

"Zhang Ye."

"age."

"46 is old."

What were the professions like before the apocalypse? What were their special skills?

Semiconductor chip design.

"Hmm?" The staff member suddenly remembered that this occupation seemed to be listed in the table of in-demand occupations that had been distributed from above.

He quickly opened the Excel spreadsheet, entered the keywords, and sure enough, found the job posting.

He looked up at Zhang Ye, his gaze immediately becoming much more fervent:
"How many years have you been in this industry? What projects have you been in charge of before? Which company did you work for before the apocalypse?"

Zhang Ye had previously heard from Zhou Ning that the Big Camphor Tree faction was recruiting people with this major.

So she didn't show much surprise on her face.

He answered truthfully:
"I have been working in this field for 10 years. I spent 6 years at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I was mainly responsible for [specific tasks]. Later, I was responsible for the xx project at SMIC."

While she was giving her statement, the staff quickly filled in Zhang Ye's notes.

After clarifying the situation, he then inquired:
"Education? Which university did you graduate from?"

"PhD, Tsinghua University, majoring in microelectronics."

After hearing about his academic background and major, the staff member looked up at Zhang Ye again.

That's an impressive academic background and work experience.

The headquarters in Dazhangshu is in dire need of staff!

After Zhang Ye completed the detailed information form, the staff asked her to look at the camera and took a headshot of her.

Because this major is a key focus category in the table, it is even marked with a red label.

There is also a relevant prompt in the lower right corner: Find talents in the relevant categories and report them quickly.

"Okay, your basic information has been filled out. However, you cannot leave yet." The staff member's attitude was unusually friendly.

"Huh?" Zhang Ye looked completely bewildered. She pointed to the group of Dog Brother and the others who had already registered and said:
"I'm with them."

Dog Brother and his group registered quickly, while Zhang Ye's group took much longer.

The staff member said gently:
"Here's the thing, since the profession you were in before the apocalypse is one that Big Camphor Tree is urgently hiring for, please wait a moment. I have already notified my supervisor, and he will talk to you in detail later."

"But."

Seeing that Zhang Ye seemed to want to stay with her team, the staff patiently explained:
"Don't worry, this is a good thing. Our big camphor tree values ​​talent very much. If you prove your ability, the conditions you can get will definitely be better than what you can get as a scavenger outside!"

Just then, the head of the registration office walked over.

Zhang Facai is the head of this registration office.
He used to be in charge of specific registration work in the oil city and was one of Liu Jinglue's subordinates.

He has now been promoted and transferred to the registration office at Oriental Paradise as a supervisor.

"Xiao Wang, what's going on?" Zhang Facai walked over and asked.

Staff member Xiao Wang immediately reported Zhang Ye's situation.
After hearing this, Zhang Facai raised his eyebrows and his face lit up with joy.

He looked at Zhang Ye sitting at the computer desk.

“Come with me,” Zhang Facai said to Zhang Ye.

"I'll send someone to take you back to your team later, don't worry."

Zhang Facai, who had seen countless people, immediately noticed Zhang Ye's worries.

Only after hearing what he said did Zhang Ye agree to go with him.

Following Zhang Facai, they entered a room, and immediately felt a cool breeze.

She looked in surprise at the air conditioner standing on the ground, which was blowing cold air.

There's even air conditioning in here!

When was the last time I used air conditioning? Eight years ago?

Perhaps because I'm used to temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, I actually felt a bit cold after coming in.

"Sit down." Zhang Facai plopped down on the sofa and pointed to a chair opposite him. Zhang Ye sat down somewhat awkwardly.

Zhang Facai lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled, and then stared at Zhang Ye, asking:

"Are you sure you didn't conceal any information?"

Zhang Ye felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by Zhang Facai's sharp gaze, and nodded, saying:
"No."

Zhang Facai's expression softened instantly, and he said with a smile:
"That's good. Let me give you a brief introduction to the big camphor tree."

After a few minutes of introduction, Zhang Facai continued:
“I just looked at your team’s information; they are all Level 6 personnel.”

"To be honest, now that the Great Collection Operation has started, it's easier to earn points than before, but within the Great Camphor Tree faction, it all comes down to level. The higher your level, the more you can enjoy."

Currently, collecting resources only yields transaction points, not contribution points. Unless they make a major discovery or make a significant contribution, they'll only be able to take on missions that award contribution points; otherwise, they'll remain at level six.

"You'll be interviewed by a professional later."

If you prove your professional skills, Dazhangshu can directly grant you Level 5 personnel status.

If you perform well later, you can be directly given a Level 4 status!
If you make significant contributions in your field, you could even be promoted to Level 3 very quickly!

"At the same time, we won't be stingy with points; this position will be divided into levels based on ability."

Even the lowest tier offers 3 points per day.
The highest level can give 15 points per day.

This is a very stable job, and it includes meals and accommodation, along with corresponding benefits.

Zhang Facai looked at Zhang Ye and continued to persuade him:

"Don't be fooled by these scavengers; if they're lucky, they can earn a lot of points."
However, this is not stable and requires careful consideration.
You know, you need fuel to drive when you go out to scavenge, right? And fuel isn't cheap.

If you're unlucky, you might even lose points just by going out.

The zombies have all gone to the ocean now. What if they return to land one day?

What to do then?
If the zombies return to land and start scavenging in a week or two, the danger will increase significantly.

"But if you agree to join the semiconductor project, you'll get at least 3 points every day, plus room and board, and your income is guaranteed!"

"How's it going? Are you interested?"

He looked at Zhang Ye with great interest.

Zhang Ye was silent for a moment, clenching and unclenching his fists, then took a deep breath and asked:

"Are you also staying at Oriental Paradise?"

Zhang Facai's eyes darted around as he smiled and said:
"Of course not. Only the headquarters base has the necessary conditions for microelectronics. Oriental Paradise is still in its early stages and is not yet perfect in many aspects."

"So I have to go to the headquarters, right?" Zhang Ye asked.

“Yes, the conditions at the headquarters are much better in every way,” Zhang Facai nodded.

"Then," Zhang Ye continued, "..."
"Can I bring my teammates with me?"

Zhang Facai clapped his hands and laughed, "Of course, as long as they're willing to come along."

"but."

"They will still be Level 6 personnel when they arrive there. They can be assigned jobs, usually some very basic ones, such as construction-related jobs."

If they don't want to take this kind of work, they can continue doing scavenging.

Hearing this, Zhang Ye let out a long sigh of relief and nodded, saying:

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"I'm willing to go to the headquarters, but I want to discuss it with my teammates and see if they want to go too."

Zhang Facai stared at her and asked:
"What if they don't go?"

Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go by myself."

"Hahaha, great!" Zhang Facai laughed loudly.

"Great, that's fine. Tomorrow, you'll take a private jet, and a group of people will be going to headquarters with you!"

"We have to go tomorrow?" Zhang Ye was dumbfounded.

Zhang Facai said, "That's right, don't worry. Don't worry, your team members can also be taken there by someone. However, your helicopter has limited seats, so they can only go by car in the back."

"Could you give me 15 minutes? I'll go over and discuss this with them right now."

Zhang Facai nodded:
"can."

"Thank you."

Zhang Ye stood up, and Zhang Facai gestured to one of his men beside him, telling him to follow at a distance.

the other side.

After Dog Brother and Zhou Ning finished their inspection, they entered Oriental Paradise, but stayed not far from the main entrance.

Several militia members remained here to watch over them.

Zhou Ning glanced at his watch. The coconut had been inside for over ten minutes and still hadn't come out. It seemed that Big Camphor Tree really valued talent related to semiconductors.

Dog Brother looked at the house not far away and asked worriedly:

"Brother Zhou, I hope nothing's happened to Coconut. It's been so long!"

Zhou Ning laughed and said, "What could possibly happen? It's definitely a good thing! Hahaha, I told you guys before that the semiconductor industry is something that Dazhangshu attaches great importance to."

"Who knows, we might even be able to go to the headquarters together thanks to coconuts!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw Coconut coming out of the house.

"I'm coming!"

As Coconut drew closer, Zhou Ning also became somewhat nervous. He stared at the expression on Coconut's face, trying to glean some information from it.

"How should I put it?" Dog Brother stepped forward and asked.

Everyone gathered around the coconut, their eyes fixed on it.

Coconut quickly repeated what Zhang Facai had just told her.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Gou, do you want to come to the headquarters base together?"

Zhou Ning fell into deep thought, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"From a long-term development perspective, going to the headquarters base is certainly a good place, but now we have discovered the Sensor Valley in Bengbu. If we do it well, we can make a fortune in one fell swoop."

"How about this, you go first, and we'll head to Sensor Valley for the next week. We'll get as many chips as we can. The more we go, the more people will go to Sensor Valley, and eventually everything in Sensor Valley will be emptied out."

A week later, we were traveling to headquarters with the transport convoy.

"Hey Dog Bro, what do you think?"

Zhou Ning was very experienced; when he went to the storage area to inventory the supplies later, there would definitely be other scavengers watching him.

Today only their team and Zhao Di's team went there, but tomorrow there might be seven or eight teams of scavengers going there.

Dog Brother wasn't very familiar with the camphor tree's forces, but he could tell from Zhou Ning's words that Zhou Ning's suggestion was probably the most correct one.

Dog nodded and said, "Brother Zhou, we'll all join your team. You just need to make the decision!"

Zhou Ning smiled and said:

"Okay, let's do some scavenging here at Oriental Paradise for a week to accumulate some points. When we get to the headquarters, we'll have a car and can do transportation work, which will earn us contribution points."

It will be easy to upgrade then!

Coconut smiled when she heard that they were all willing. "Okay, I'll go and reply to that person now."

She was still a little worried about going to a place where she knew no one.

She would feel more at ease if Dog Brother and his friends went with her.

Air-conditioned office.

Looking at Zhang Ye, who had returned, Zhang Facai asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Zhang Ye nodded and said, "Is it alright if they go to the headquarters again in a week?"

"Of course," Zhang Facai said with a smile.

"Be at the helipad on the west side of Oriental Paradise at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Don't be late!"

"Okay, thank you," Zhang Ye said gratefully.

Zhang Facai saw Zhang Ye out of the office, returned to his seat, and opened his computer to write down Zhang Ye's team and her name.

The computer recorded more than twenty names and information.

These are all experts from various fields who will be sent to the headquarters tomorrow.

Dazhangshu is currently focusing on developing the power industry and related fields.

Experts in these areas are urgently needed.

Of these twenty-odd people, five or six are weapons experts, and one is even an expert on laser weapons.

In fact, it's not just Oriental Paradise that's recruiting talent; the North, Oil City, and even the Northwest are all doing the same thing.

The Big Camphor Tree mobilized the resources of its various branch bases, finding and recruiting them to the research department of the headquarters base.

The influx of these high-caliber talents has led to the rapid expansion of the research department in Dazhangshu, driving the development of Dazhangshu's military, manufacturing, and chemical industries.

Strengthen the industrial foundation and cultural heritage of Dazhangshu.
