Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2175 A Pure Love Warrior in the Apocalypse! (5000 words)
"Is this the camphor tree base?"

Outside the city walls of the outskirts, Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan stared in disbelief, craning their necks to look at the walls.

Xie Dongshan swallowed hard and said to Xu Qiang:

"Brother, it seems the advertising for this giant camphor tree is true. Such a magnificent wall must have required a great deal of manpower and resources to build."

Xu Qiang nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

Long lines of cars stretched before and behind them, and many residents were walking in and out.

They had never seen so many survivors in the apocalypse.

What an eye-opener.

The vehicle followed the car in front and continued moving forward.

After stopping and starting, they arrived at the entrance to the Edge City gate after more than ten minutes.

Bo Yao, who had been inside the car, got out and waved to the two of them, "You two can get out now. People who have just entered the Big Camphor Tree Base need to register."

The two quickly jumped out of the car.

Bo Yao gave the driver a few instructions and then led Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan toward the registration area for newlyweds.

On their way to the registration office, they also underwent two rounds of checks.

The strictness of the inspection surprised Xu Qiang and his companion.

Upon arriving at the registration desk, Bo Yao first handed his points number card to the staff.

"This is my points number card. The two people next to me are new members. We met them on the street. Could you please help them register?"

After receiving his points card, the staff swiped it on the machine.

Comparing the photos with those taken by Bo Yao on the computer, it is indeed him.

Nodded and said:
"Alright, you two come here."

Xu Qiang and his companion walked over.

The staff asked Xu Qiang to stand inside the circle first:

"Look at the camera, don't move."

Click!

After taking Xu Qiang's photos, the staff quickly searched the newly taken photos in the system.

To determine if this person existed before.

The reason for doing this is that there were scavengers who were already residents of Dazhangshu but pretended to be newcomers. After they were caught, the registration office would conduct a search.

Make sure the people you bring are indeed joining the Big Camphor Tree for the first time.

The staff member completed the search and then clicked the mouse to create a new personnel information card.

"Name."

"Xu Qiang."

"Place of origin."

"Guangxi".

"height."

"183cm."

Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan registered in less than 10 minutes.

After the two completed their registration, they swiped their two points number cards on the magnetic stripe machine.

Both of these points number cards are light gray, representing Level 6 personnel.

Seeing that Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan's points number cards had been processed, Bo Yao, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly stepped forward and said to the staff:

"This referral fee."

The staff member glanced at him and said, "Give me your points card."

Bo Yao smiled and quickly handed it over, and a moment later the staff returned it to him.

"Ten points have been transferred to your points card."

"Thank you!" Bo Yao said with a big smile.

Turning his head to look at Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan, he coughed and said:
"Let's go, I'll take you into the big camphor tree."

He was in a good mood today; otherwise, in this situation, he would have just left after receiving the reward points and wouldn't have bothered to mentor these newcomers.

Xu Qiang and the other man quickly followed Bo Yao's pace.

The two walked through the pedestrian passage to the waiting area.

Bo Yao had already instructed his men to unload their goods and exchange them for points after entering the Edge City, and then meet up at the dormitory.

Waiting area.

Xie Dongshan looked around curiously and saw six watchtowers, each eight meters tall.

Armed men were observing them from the watchtower.

In addition to these six watchtowers, several armed guards were stationed in both the waiting area and at the three security checkpoints to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

In addition, when they entered the gate, there were two watchtowers outside the gate, and about a dozen guards standing under the watchtowers.

Moreover, he seemed to see patrolling people on the tens of meters high wall.

Before reaching the big camphor tree, they passed a fortified city, and the weapons on the fort were quite intimidating.

He had never seen such a level of security and detaining measures in his entire life.

Xie Dongshan couldn't help but sigh: The martial law at this camphor tree headquarters base is really strict.

but
Strict martial law also signifies safety.

The fact that everyone had to hand over their weapons suggests that the area inside the camphor tree must be relatively stable and safe.

Just as Xie Dongshan was pondering, Bo Yao walked over with two flyers.

"Here, you two take a good look. All the basic information about the big camphor tree that you want to know is here."

Xie Dongshan accepted it and thanked him.

He was immediately struck by the quality of the paper when he received it.

Keep in mind that it's been ten years since the apocalypse, and finding clean paper to print on isn't so easy.

To create such a promotional leaflet, you first need good quality paper.

Papermaking is a new type of papermaking technology with pulping, conditioning, papermaking and processing as its core steps, and requires a complete production line.

Secondly, judging from the text and images on this promotional leaflet, it's clear that they were printed using a high-performance laser printer.

Finally, these papers all have a waterproof film, which also requires a special process.

The fact that even a promotional flyer can achieve this level of sophistication suggests that the industrial base of Dazhangshu is quite complete.

The two quickly flipped through the contents of the large camphor tree.

Every now and then, the words "Holy crap" and "Awesome" would pop out.

"Holy crap, Dongshan, the big camphor tree really has so many people, look, more than 1.6 million!"

Bo Yao walked over, curled his lip, and said:
"This data hasn't been updated yet; the population is definitely much larger now."

Xu Qiang's eyes were filled with shock. "This is too outrageous!"

Bo Yao smiled and was about to speak when the checkpoint in front of him opened.

"Let's go, let's go. You'll be even more shocked once you go inside."

Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan exchanged a glance and quickly followed Bo Yao's steps.

The checkpoint is now open.

The group entered the edge city.

"hiss"

Xie Dongshan and Xu Qiang looked at the situation inside the city on the edge of the big camphor tree, and both of them gasped.
"Grass!"

"It's so big inside!"

The wide six-lane road has sidewalks on both sides.

The rows of buildings, the constant flow of cars and horses, and the bustling crowds made them feel as if they had traveled back to a city before the apocalypse.

It is bustling and lively.

The construction of the large camphor tree has always been carried out according to strict standards and at a very steady pace. As a result, there are still large areas in the outer city that have not been completed, but infrastructure such as roads and street trees have been completed.

Moreover, the area they are currently in is a completely completed development zone.

"Brother, it seems the big camphor tree really is the place we should be. Let's hurry and bring them in," Xie Dongshan said excitedly to Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang nodded vigorously and said:
“That’s right. Now that we’ve confirmed the camphor tree is fine, we can’t let them worry too much.”

"However, we may have to walk for quite a while today."

The voice just fell.

Bo Yao, standing next to Xie Dongshan, excitedly grasped both of Xie's hands.

"Are there others among you?"

Xie Dongshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded after a few seconds of thought:

"Um, sorry, this is our first time here, so we're being a little cautious. We just came to check first, and the big camphor tree is indeed fine, so..."
Sorry I lied to you before.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Bo Yao patted his shoulder forcefully and said:
"It's alright, brother. It's fate that we're here. How about I have my brothers unload the truck and then go back with you to pick up your people?"

Where are they all? How many of them are there?

Xie Dongshan actually knew what Bo Yao was planning. He and Xu Qiang had just watched him receive the referral fee.

Bo Yao had told them about this before taking them in.

Therefore, it's harmless.

He would also like to let them in as soon as possible.

Then Xie Dongshan said:
"Brother Bo, we still have twenty-six people, not far from the road where we first met you."

"Twenty-six people!" Bo Yao was overjoyed and shook Xie Dongshan's hand vigorously.

"Come on, come on, I'll find my people right now and drive you out to pick them up!"

There are 26 people, and each person gets 5 points. That's a total of 130 points.

A round trip only takes half an hour. Is there any better deal in the world?!
The two were also eager to reunite with the others, so they followed Bo Yao to the supplies storage area.

"A bus?" Xu Qiang stood bewildered in the waiting area, looking at the route map and stops posted on the wall.

"What? Is there anything strange about it?" Bo Yao didn't know what he was surprised about.

Xu Qiang scratched his head, feeling a bit confused.

They have been out of normal human society for almost ten years, and their memories of the city ten years ago are like something that happened in a previous life.

Everything they are experiencing now feels like an illusion.
Everything here is almost exactly the same as the city before the apocalypse.

Public transportation, trash cans, roadside trees, pedestrians in clean clothes, and occasionally people riding by on electric scooters.
If it weren't for the towering walls they could see in the distance, they would have truly felt as if they had traveled back to before the apocalypse.

"I'm coming."

As the bus pulled up, Bo Yao quickly led the two people onto the bus.

However, Xu Qiang and Xie Dongshan encountered a problem when making the payment.

Because they had just come in and were in a hurry to leave, they didn't have time to process the points-based loan.

Therefore, both of them have 0 points on their points cards.

However, Bo Yao was eager to take them out to pick up their loved ones, so he offered to pay for their transportation.

Anyway, the fare doesn't earn many points.

Xie Dongshan thanked Bo Yao:
"Thank you, Brother Bo. We'll repay you once we've settled down in Dazhangshu."

Bo Yao felt a little embarrassed by his thanks.

"It's alright, it's alright, we're all brothers."

The vehicle starts.

The two of them were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden for the first time, curious about everything in the outskirts of the city.

As they passed through the construction area, they saw towering robotic arms and towering cranes that were tens of meters high.

The enormous machinery gives people an extremely strong sense of impact.

ten minutes later.

The vehicle arrived at the material distribution and storage center.

The area of ​​the camphor tree is different from before; it is no longer as simple as tens of acres, hundreds of acres, thousands of acres, or tens of thousands of acres.

It's actually over 100,000 mu (approximately 6,667 hectares).

This is comparable to the size of a third-tier city center before the apocalypse.

Therefore, for people living in the big camphor tree area, it takes two hours just to walk from the buffer town to outside the big camphor tree area without riding an electric scooter or taking a car.

Goods circulation and storage center.

The factory buildings, some over ten meters high, are arranged in a neat and orderly fashion.

They got off the bus outside the warehouse.

They quickly located the Boyao truck convoy, which was still unloading cargo.

"Brother Bo, what brings you here? Weren't we supposed to meet at the dorm?"

"Why are you still bringing them along?"

Bo Yao didn't answer his question, but instead asked:

"Are there any trucks that have finished unloading?"

Xiao Chen pointed to a small truck that had just been unloaded and replied:
"That truck has finished unloading, Brother Bo, what are you going to do?"

Bo Yao walked over and whispered:
"These two have a team, and there are 26 people outside. Let's go and bring them all in. Over 100 points will be easy to get!"

Bo Yao's tone was extremely excited.

Xiao Chen's eyes also lit up, looking at Xu Qiang and the other two as if they were money-giving children.

"Holy crap, this is awesome! Should I call a few more people to come along?"

"No need, just you and I are fine." Bo Yao wanted to get things done quickly to avoid any trouble.

"also."

Afterwards, Bo Yao told his other men and got into a small truck and drove out of the city.

Once we left the city, we sped up considerably.

The checks to leave the city are much simpler than those to enter.

Bo Yao originally thought of taking back the pistol he had handed in when he entered the city, but then he thought that since it was around the camphor tree, the safety level was relatively high.

Even if Xu Qiang and his group wanted to do something, they would easily encounter other convoys on that road.

Other convoys would also lend a hand if they encountered a robbery, or at least try to contact the patrol team outside the city of Dazhangshu.

There is a reward for reporting.

This is also one of the policies introduced by Dazhangshu to protect the scavenger team.

Twenty minutes after leaving the city, they returned to the road.

“Alright, we’ll wait for you here. Go and bring your men over,” Bo Yao said to the two men.

"Okay, thanks, bro." Xie Dongshan and his companion jumped out of the car and ran towards the bushes not far away.

Bo Yao leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette, and said to Xiao Chen in the car:
"How many points can I exchange for the batch of goods that just got unloaded?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and said:
"The inventory team hasn't given a quote yet; we'll only know after all the items on the vehicles have been counted."

"Ah."

The two were chatting idly when they soon saw a large group of people running out from the bushes.

When Bo Yao saw Xie Dongshan and Xu Qiang, who were leading the group, his mouth practically stretched to the back of his ears in a wide grin.

"They weren't lying to me after all. I easily got over a hundred points! Hahahaha."

Xiao Chen was also beaming with excitement, "Brother Bo, why don't we go find the survivors outside? These twenty-odd people are worth over a hundred points. If there were 100 people, wouldn't that be several hundred points?!"

Bo Yao waved his hand, "What are you saying!"

"It's not that simple. There are fewer and fewer new survivors outside now. Finding people is much harder than finding supplies."

"Moreover, the survivors who have made it this far are all smarter than monkeys. It won't be easy to persuade them. If we encounter a pervert, we'll end up in a mess."

"That makes sense." Xiao Chen nodded.

"Brother Bo, hoo hoo." Xie Dongshan ran up to Bo Yao and pointed to the group of people behind him, saying:
"These are the things I've told you, my friends."

Bo Yao smiled and nodded, about to speak, when suddenly he saw a woman in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Bo. Brother Bo!?"

Xie Dongshan called out to Bo Yao twice before Bo Yao came to his senses.

"Okay, okay, get in the car, get in the car."

"You've already told them, haven't you?"

Xie Dongshan nodded and said, "I've already said it, they all listen to my older brother."

"Okay." Bo Yao leaned closer to Xie Dongshan, lowered his voice, and asked:

"That...that woman in jeans and a gray short-sleeved shirt, cough cough, what's going on?"

Xie Dongshan was also a shrewd person. From the way Bo Yao looked at the woman just now, he knew that Bo Yao had taken a liking to her.

"Her, Sister Wu, what's wrong? You've fallen for her? But Sister Wu has a rather cold personality."

Bo Yao scratched his head. This man in his forties, who was the leader of a team, actually showed a hint of shyness on his face.

He appeared extremely awkward.

"Don't talk nonsense, oh dear, get in the car."

Bo Yao punched Xie Dongshan with his iron fist.

She turned her hips, covered her face, and ran to the car, embarrassed.

After getting in the car, Bo Yao specially pulled Xie Dongshan to the front driver's seat.

Bo Yao hesitated several times before quietly asking Xie Dongshan in a low voice:
"Hey Xie, I need your help with something. Can you tell me about that Xiao Wu?"

Got it!
Xie Dongshan thought to himself: So she really has her eye on him, but she won't admit it. Is she some kind of pure love warrior?
However, seeing Bo Yao's state, he found Bo Yao quite interesting.

He looks so rugged and imposing, yet he's also incredibly shrewd.

But when I saw Sister Wu, she actually had the air of a young girl.

"Sister Wu must be around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. She's single now, but no one has ever dared to like her."

She used to be a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) coach.

"It's been about eight years since I met her, and she's always been single. Brother Bo, Sister Wu is not easy to win over."

Bo Yao's expression changed, but after looking through the rear window of the cab into the truck bed, he saw Sister Wu's face as she stared blankly at the roadside.

His heart began to pound violently again.

He really fell in love with it.

"Brother Xie, how about I show you around the camphor tree base later? It's huge, and you're unfamiliar with the area."

Xiao Chen quickly said, "Brother, didn't you say you were bringing the brothers today?"

"Shut up!" Bo Yao interrupted Xiao Chen.

"You guys go ahead, I have important things to do."

"As a member of our camphor tree base, we should treat newcomers with hospitality. They know nothing, so isn't it our duty to guide them?"

Xiao Chen pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice:

"It's just lust at first sight."

"What did you say?!?" Bo Yao's eyes widened.

Xiao Chen quickly replied, "Okay, brother! You go ahead with your work!"

"That's more like it." Bo Yao's smile returned as he looked at Xie Dongshan:

"Hey Xie, where were we? Single, huh? Tell me about Xiao Wu's hobbies and interests."
