Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2129 A Rare Opportunity!

buzzing-

The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad in the northern part of the buffer city.

He Chao, the head of the buffer city, Liu Jianwen, the deputy minister of the military department, Li Hongda, the president of the Big Camphor Tree Association, and Li Yu, the leader of the Big Camphor Tree Association, were all present to welcome him.

They were not there to welcome Chen Tianfu and his group, but rather to welcome the judge and his group.

After overcoming numerous dangers, the judge and his entourage finally arrived safely at the headquarters.

Before the helicopter even landed, Judge and his team saw Li Yu and his group of high-ranking members of the Great Camphor Tree faction waiting outside the helipad through the helicopter window.

As the helicopter touched down, the rotor blades gradually slowed down and eventually came to a stop.

Kaka!

The judge yanked the cabin door down and saw Li Yu waiting not far away. He quickly jumped out of the helicopter and walked towards Li Yu and the others.

The other people in the helicopter also disembarked one after another.

"Commander! We're back!" The judge saluted.

Li Yu quickly returned the greeting, then grasped the judge's hand tightly and said, "Uncle Judge, it's good that you're back safe and sound."

Then Li Yu looked at Lao Qin and the others, expressing his condolences to each of them.

Behind them stood more than thirty Chen clan members who seemed somewhat at a loss.

The elderly man with gray hair at the head of the group was Chen Tianfu.

After seeing Chen Tianfu, the judge led him to Li Yu.

"Sir, this is Mr. Chen Tianfu. He opened the bunker in the Philippines and saved our lives."

Then, he introduced Li Yu to Chen Tianfu, "This is our leader of the Great Camphor Tree! The commander-in-chief of the Great Camphor Tree forces!"

Li Yu smiled and reached out her hand, and Chen Tianfu quickly grasped Li Yu's hand with both of his.

"Commander, you are truly an extraordinary man!"

He was speaking from the heart; the Chief Li in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, extremely young.

Moreover, he was tall, robust, and extremely handsome.

After shaking hands with him, Li Yu replied with a smile:
"On behalf of the Great Camphor Tree faction, I express my gratitude for saving our reconnaissance team. At the same time, the Great Camphor Tree faction warmly welcomes your arrival!"

"To express our gratitude, we will give each of you 20 contribution points! These 20 contribution points can be exchanged for transaction points at any time."

integral?

Chen Tianfu instantly remembered the points system that the judge had told him on the way here.

The judge also gave him a brief overview of the points system, so he roughly knew what could be redeemed with one point.

There are 35 people in total, and each person has 20 points, which is 700 points.

You can probably exchange it for 2800 tortillas.

They had eaten corn tortillas before, back in the bunker, given to them by the judge.

It tastes really good and keeps very well.

They considered it an extremely valuable food resource.

Now, this leader of the big camphor tree has given them 2800 cornbreads right off the bat. What a generous gesture!
Chen Tianfu expressed his gratitude with great emotion:
"Thank you, Commander!"

Li Yu gently withdrew his hand and said to Chen Tianfu, the judge, and the others:

"Come on, I've prepared a welcome feast for you!"

Chen Tianfu glanced at the judge; he had just discerned some clues himself.

It seems that these judges and others have a very close relationship with this Chief of the Big Camphor Tree.

Otherwise, it would be one thing for the leader of such a powerful force to personally come and greet him, but to address the judge as "uncle" would be even more unusual.

This is treating someone like a junior.

The judges did not refuse and followed Li Yu to the commercial district of the buffer city.

They were going to the largest restaurant in the commercial area of ​​Dazhangshu Buffer City:
Green Source Restaurant!

This is the largest restaurant in the Dazhangshu commercial district, and it was officially opened by the Dazhangshu government.

It's a standalone building, with each floor covering 2000 square meters.

There are a total of six floors.

The first floor mainly caters to individual customers, while the second and third floors are for private rooms.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are specifically used for hosting large banquets, such as weddings and other celebrations for people in the camphor tree base.

Some large scavenger teams, after making a big haul, will come here and book an entire floor to celebrate.

This Green Source Restaurant is located in a commercial area and is extremely popular.

However, at the same time, the consumption involved is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The buffer zone also covers tens of thousands of acres, and there are two or three kilometers between the helipad and the commercial area, so they naturally cannot walk there.

They walked out of the perimeter wall of the helipad and boarded several buses that had been prepared in advance.

The bus took them directly towards the commercial area.

On the road.

Chen Ciyi curiously observed the scenery along the roadside. The houses were lined up one after another, and judging from the clothes hanging on the balconies, this area should be a residential building.

When he reached an intersection, he saw a waiting room ahead, and even a blue electric bus stopped.

The residents in the waiting room lined up to board the blue bus.

Everything before him seemed to transport him back to the pre-apocalyptic world.

The strangest thing is that, despite the drought lasting for so long, there are still roadside trees planted on both sides of the street, and they are all alive!

this.
How did they manage to do that?!

Inside the bus, the members of the Chen clan looked around at everything in the buffer city like curious children.

"Third Brother, am I dreaming? I feel like I've gone back to before the apocalypse! There are even traffic lights here, this is too ridiculous!"

"Yes, this looks like a normal city."

"But there are so many charging stations here! I've seen two rows of charging stations since I got on the bus, and there are so many electric vehicles here too!"

"This city is so modern! Was it really built after the apocalypse?"

Three buses drove into the commercial area.

Large vehicles are prohibited from entering the commercial area; vehicles such as construction vehicles are also prohibited.

Because the leader was present, the patrol team members rode donkeys to clear the way.

Clear the passageway.

Upon entering the commercial area, Central Avenue was clean and tidy.

There are sidewalks on both sides, and only these three buses can pass through the central roadway.

Chen Tianfu looked at the street outside, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Tingfenglou 2nd branch?
What's inside?
Why are so many women standing at the door?

Along the way, there were bars, clothing stores, massage parlors, restaurants, electronics stores, and even general stores—all kinds of shops were available.

He even saw three barbershops.

There were many pedestrians on both sides of the street, all looking at the bus with curiosity, pointing at it, and whispering among themselves.

The shops on both sides are generally located on the sixth to eighth floors.

The tallest building is the sprawling entertainment complex in the center.

The entertainment center has the highest foot traffic and is located at the intersection of Central Avenue.

The red light comes on.

The bus stopped.

The bustling crowd walked onto the zebra crossing and went to the other side.

Looking at the massive flow of people, Chen Tianfu murmured to himself, "It's truly a miracle!"

After the green light.

The bus continued forward, arriving at shop number 159, just outside the entrance of the Green Source Restaurant. The bus driver called out to Chen Tianfu and the others on board:

"We've arrived. Everyone, please get off the bus."

Chen Tianfu followed Zhuang Mingdong off the bus.

As soon as he got off the bus, he smelled the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms in the air.

Everything before my eyes was so peaceful and serene.

It doesn't feel like the end of the world at all.

"Old Chen, just follow me," Zhuang Mingdong said to Chen Tianfu.

He also had a good impression of the old man. If it weren't for Chen Tianfu and the others, Zhuang Mingdong wouldn't have been able to enter the bunker and would likely have died in the sea fog disaster.

Chen Tianfu nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

Zhuang Mingdong smiled and said:
"Originally, as first-time visitors to the Big Camphor Tree Base, you should have registered your identities first. However, let's attend the welcome banquet first, and I will take you to register after the banquet."

As they were talking, he saw He Chao, the manager of the buffer city, walking towards them.

"Haha, Manager He is here. It seems he will take charge of this matter."

Sure enough, after He Chao arrived, he immediately spoke with Chen Tianfu about what would happen after the banquet.

"Manager He, it seems you've come to see them?" Zhuang Mingdong asked.

He Chao nodded and said:
"Yes, the commander instructed me to handle the basic procedures for their entry into the city."

"Alright, let's talk as we walk." Zhuang Mingdong pointed to Li Yu and the others who had already entered the restaurant ahead.

"it is good."

On the road.

He Chao spoke to Chen Tianfu about some precautions and the overall process.

After Chen Tianfu and his group disembarked from the helicopter, they underwent a round of inspections.

They checked all their belongings and put away all their weapons.

"Mr. Chen Tianfu, your weapons and other items that you handed over cannot be returned to you for the time being, because carrying any weapons is prohibited in Dazhangshu City!"

"And what about them?" Chen Tianfu pointed to the patrol team members behind him.

"They are members of our patrol team in Dazhangshu, responsible for maintaining public order in the city. They are special and can carry weapons and equipment."

"Oh, I see." Chen Tianfu nodded.

I secretly said:

This is a good idea. In this way, even if there are many people in the city, they will not have firearms or weapons, making it easy for the official authorities to suppress them.

He Chao continued:

"Later, after I've helped you process your points number cards, I'll deposit the 700 points that the leader promised you into your points number cards."

"In addition, our Big Camphor Tree highly values ​​talent. We would like to kindly remind you to fill in your information as accurately as possible. If you have special talents, you will receive preferential treatment and be given important responsibilities by our Big Camphor Tree."

They could even skip level 6 personnel and assign a level 5 status during the initial grading phase!

"Among the various bases in Dazhangshu, the higher the rank, the greater the authority, and the better the benefits and treatment."

Chen Tianfu listened carefully to He Chao's words, and his keen senses picked out a key word.

"Various bases? Don't you only have this one base?"

He Chao smiled and shook his head: "This is just the headquarters base."

Chen Tianfu quickly pressed for an answer:

"How many bases are there in total?"

He Chao stretched out his right hand, showing five fingers.

"The five bases are distributed across the east, west, south, north and central parts of China, with the Dazhangshu headquarters base being just the southernmost one."

Chen Tianfu was shocked, but a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"No wonder. The judge told me that the Great Camphor Tree has a population of one million. When I was looking at it from the air just now, I thought that the Great Camphor Tree headquarters base should not have that many people."

Surprisingly, there were other bases as well.

As they were talking, they got on the elevator.

He Chao told them to go up first, and he waited until all the Chen family members had gone up before he went up himself.

He Chao hadn't done this kind of work of personally welcoming newcomers for many years.

If it weren't for the judge's sake, it would be beneath his dignity as the head of the buffer city to personally introduce the camphor tree to the newcomers.

In fact, he could roughly discern the leader's attitude towards this group of people:

That means we still need to see the strength and ability of these people. If they are capable, then we should give them a higher level.

If they lack professional skills and other abilities, they can only be classified as Level 6 personnel.

but.

To thank them for saving the judge and the others, the leader gave them 700 points.

This doesn't need to be repaid!
700 points is no small number, especially for ordinary survivors who have just joined the Great Camphor Tree.

Ordinary survivors who have just joined the Great Camphor Tree can only apply for points-based loans, and they can only borrow five points at a time, with extremely high interest rates.

But as soon as these people got their points card, it had 20 points on it, and they didn't have to pay them back.

Furthermore, the leader also prepared a welcome banquet for them and the judge.

This expression of gratitude is absolutely appropriate.

Don't be fooled by He Chao's friendly attitude towards them now; if these people don't have much ability or skill, they'll be classified as level six afterward.

They may find it difficult to even see He Chao again in the future!
After all, He Chao is the manager of the buffer city!

Even the commercial district is only part of the buffer city.

Went upstairs.

Upstairs lobby.

Round tables were set up, and food and drinks had already been prepared for them.

Chen Shangtang, supporting Chen Tianfu, stared in disbelief at the food and wine on the round table.

Nine dishes!
There are still two bottles of baijiu!

Is this even reasonable?!
Li Yu saw them standing there, so he waved to Chen Tianfu.
"Old Chen, come, come, sit with us at the same table."

Zhuang Mingdong quickly went over and guided Chen Tianfu there.

Chen Tianfu saw that the judge and his group were also at that table, so he didn't refuse and sat down with them.

But he soon realized that the people sitting in this seat seemed to be people of considerable status.

There are ten people at this table.

He knew five of them: Judge, Lao Qin, Ant, Nut, and Jackal.

The other five people seemed to have been addressed by their titles when the judge and the others greeted them.

The youngest of them all is the leader, Li Yu.

The person sitting to his right seems to be the Deputy Minister of the Military Department, surnamed Liu, I think.

Sitting to his left is the president of the camphor tree association.

The burly man to the left looks like Bi Tianxing, the captain of the helicopter squadron.

The other one seemed to be the head of some kind of security department, but he'd never heard of his surname.

Realizing that everyone at the table was a big shot, a glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Although he had a fortune before the apocalypse, it was worthless in the apocalypse.

To be able to sit at a table and dine with their superiors in this magnificent camphor tree.

A rare opportunity!

If we get to know them and build good relationships, perhaps the Chen family will be able to have a place in the big camphor tree in the future.

Even if they don't achieve anything remarkable, at least they'll be relatively more comfortable.

Thinking about this, Chen Tianfu immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity!
