Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Fan Yuan San Shou Branch Base.

On this day, the main force that had set out to fight against India finally returned to the San Shou branch base in Fan Yuan.

After getting out of the armored vehicle, Xiao Jun and the judge headed straight for Ju Tianrui's office.

"Director Ju." The judge pushed open the door and entered.

Ju Tianrui looked up and saw the two people at the door. He quickly stood up and poured them both a glass of water.

"Instructor, Xiao Jun, you're finally back."

The judge plopped down in his chair and asked:

"Headquarters has instructed us to remain in the snow area temporarily to assist you in clearing out the bandits. What are the next steps?"

Ju Tianrui declared that the three major bandit gangs in the snowy area had been wiped out as a warning to others.

He also explained the plan to wait for the remaining bandits to surrender to the two men.

"You don't need to do anything for now. Wait ten days. Only make your move if the remaining bandits don't surrender and register on their own."

"You should stay in the city for a while and get some rest."

Xiao Jun nodded and said:
"Alright, the brothers have been traveling for more than half a month and they must be a bit tired. It would be good for them to rest."

"By the way, is the commander still in the snow area?"

Ju Tianrui waved his hand and said, "I just left yesterday and returned to the headquarters."

As we were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock—

"Go in." Ju Tianrui frowned.

Liu Ding walked in and quickly greeted the judge and Xiao Jun.

"Instructor."

"Captain Xiao."

After greeting him, he said to Ju Tianrui:
"Director, the leaders and representatives of the Ali Alliance have arrived. They want to see you."

Ju Tianrui slapped his forehead and said to Xiao Jun and the judge:
“I forgot about that, gentlemen. I’m afraid I need to go and have a talk with the leaders of the Alibaba Alliance.”

"It's alright." The judge waved his hand and asked:

What is the headquarters' attitude towards Alibaba Alliance?

Ju Tianrui thought for a moment and replied:
“The Ali region is sparsely populated and uses a tribal system, with each tribe being very scattered.”

"Moreover, there aren't many valuable resources in western Tibet."

"The leader has given the idea that we must take over the entire snow area, but the western Tibet area does not need to be included in deep management like these three sub-bases."

They nominally submitted to the camphor tree, but allowed them to govern themselves internally.

Trade continues, but a points system is used for buying and selling.

The judge took a sip of water and nodded, saying, "That's good. At this stage, western Tibet doesn't really have much strategic value for our Great Camphor Tree."

"The tribes are scattered and difficult to manage, so self-governance is quite suitable."

"Yes," Ju Tianrui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then I'll go meet with them first, and we'll talk again later?"

The judge said:

"It's alright, you go ahead and get busy. Anyway, you already have a plan for dealing with the bandits. Just let us know if there's anything you need to do."

"Yes," Xiao Jun nodded.

"Okay, I'll get back to work now. You can do whatever you want." After saying that, Ju Tianrui turned and hurriedly left the office.

Liu Ding quickly followed, leading Ju Tianrui toward the council hall of the Fan Yuan San Shou branch base.

Soon, they arrived at the council hall.

As soon as Ju Tianrui entered the hall, he saw Chief Luo entertaining several people.

The six people immediately stood up when they saw Ju Tianrui enter.

"Gentlemen, this is Ju Tianrui, the chief person in charge of our Great Camphor Tree Snow Area," Luo Shizhang introduced to the six tribal leaders.

Ju Tianrui nodded to them and walked straight up to them.

Liu Ding then introduced the identities of the six people to Ju Tianrui.

"This is the leader of the Ali Alliance, Tsering Dorje, who is also the leader of the Eagle Tribe."

Ju Tianrui had already obtained information about the Ali Alliance, so he naturally knew about the Eagle Tribe's situation.

The Eagle Tribe is the largest and strongest tribe in the Ali Alliance, with nearly four to five thousand people.

However, Tsering Dorje, as the leader of the alliance, was only the nominal leader of the Ali Alliance. In terms of real power, he did not have much influence over the other tribal leaders.

He looked Tsering Dorje up and down. The leader of Ali was tall with an old scar on his cheek. He looked to be in his fifties and had a somewhat weathered appearance, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Hello, Alliance Leader Dorje." Ju Tianrui extended his hand proactively.

Tsering Dorje quickly extended his hand, "Director Ju, I've long admired your name."

Liu Ding, standing nearby, then introduced, "This is Gesang Duiwang, the chief of the high-altitude tribe."

Gesang Duiwang, who was thin and frail, took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Ju Tianrui.

"Hello, Director Ju."

"Hello, Chief Gesang."

Subsequently, with Liu Ding's introduction, Ju Tianrui met and shook hands with the leaders of the Yak Tribe, the Red Willow Tribe, the Stone Mountain Tribe, and the Wild Horse Tribe.

After getting to know each other,
Ju Tianrui sat in the head seat.

With a smile, he said warmly:

"Leaders, Great Camphor Tree has no ill intentions towards the Ali Alliance. The reason we have summoned you here is to ask you whether you wish to join Great Camphor Tree?"

Several leaders looked at Tsering Dorje. Although within the Ali Alliance, many things required discussion, and tribes could even make decisions regardless of the leader's wishes.

But to the outside world, they still maintain the same voice.

Before coming to the San Shou branch base of Fan Yuan this time, they had discussed internally and standardized their rhetoric.

Tsering Dorjee, with a calm and composed expression, replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Director Ju, we have long admired the Big Camphor Tree, and it is our honor to be able to join it."

"We're just curious, what are Big Camphor Tree's plans for the ALD district after joining them?"

After hearing his answer, Ju Tianrui smiled and said:

"Let me be frank: after the Alibaba Alliance joined Dazhangshu, it was uniformly incorporated into the Dazhangshu sphere of influence, and has always claimed to be a branch of Dazhangshu."

"At the military level, if Dazhangshu is engaged in external operations, the Ali branch must send military personnel to provide support."

"Similarly, if there are external enemies or zombies that threaten the safety of the Ali branch, Dazhangshu will also send military personnel to provide assistance."

"In addition, we will register the people in the tribes of Ali and count their numbers."

"As for internal affairs, you are responsible for managing them yourselves. Of course, if you need help, the Big Camphor Tree will send professional managers over."

"In business, we use a points system for buying and selling. The yak meat products, ghee, cashmere, leather, medicinal materials, and other products you bring will be calculated into corresponding points according to our calculation system in Dazhangshu."

"With these points, you can purchase food and other supplies, as well as daily necessities such as electronic products and plastic products, at places like the Anding Sub-base and the Fanyuan Sanshou Sub-base. You can buy anything that these sub-bases have."

"I know what you're worried about. You can rest assured that, based on your previous transactions with the Stability Alliance and the Three Guardians Alliance, you can get more grain, not less, in exchange for the same amount of meat products!"

Upon hearing this, Tsering Dorje's previously calm face finally showed a change.

This result was much better than what they had expected on their way here.

They were afraid that the big camphor tree would demand that they relocate, and they were also afraid that the big camphor tree would forcefully send people to manage them.

They were even more afraid of the giant camphor trees crushing them. Western Tibet was not suitable for farming; it was mainly animal husbandry, but they still needed food and medicine.

But Ju Tianrui just dispelled his concerns.

Their initial expectation was simply to maintain a similar ratio to the previous transactions with the Stability Alliance.

The conditions that Ju Tianrui is offering now are simply a pleasant surprise.

Tsering Dorjee quickly stated:

"Director Ju, on behalf of everyone in our Ali Alliance, oh no, the entire Ali branch in Dazhangshu, thank you!"

Ju Tianrui smiled and said:
"Next, Big Camphor Tree will continue to invest in the snow area and will set up a mission hall. As a member of Big Camphor Tree, you can also undertake these missions."

After completing the task, you will receive corresponding points as a reward, which can be exchanged for various resources.

A school will be built in this snow area in the future. If you are interested, you can send your children here to study.

As he spoke, Ju Tianrui said to Liu Ding, who was standing to the side:

"You can explain the details of our big camphor tree to them later."

"Yes, Director."

Tsering Dorje and the others were filled with shock; they had been observing the giant camphor tree for the past few months.

These days, Ju Tianrui is busy integrating the three major alliances in the snow region, and he is too busy with governance matters to keep up.

Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to Alibaba Alliance.

The Alibaba Alliance has been quite uneasy these days, as the scouts they sent out discovered that the power of the Great Camphor Tree was so formidable that it was suffocating.

After today's meeting, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing their silence, Ju Tianrui continued:
"Zombies, natural disasters—in this apocalypse, fewer and fewer people are surviving, and life is extremely difficult."

We must stick together and support each other. Our goal in Dazhangshu is to restore order and enable the people to live a better life.

"You can also visit our other branch bases in Dazhangshu. Under the management of Dazhangshu, many branch bases have recovered to their pre-apocalyptic prosperity."

Tsering Dorje clasped his hands deeply and solemnly said:

"We will definitely go."

Ju Tianrui braced himself on the table with both hands and stood up.

"Okay, I think we had a very pleasant conversation. Welcome to Big Camphor Tree!"

"I heard you brought some things with you this time. I'll have Sergeant Luo take you to calculate your points later. Then, just tell Sergeant Luo what you want to buy."

Ju Tianrui pointed to Liu Ding and Luo Shichang:

"You can discuss the other details with them."

Tsering Dorje and the others quickly stood up and shook hands with Ju Tianrui again.

After leaving the council hall, Ju Tianrui immediately found Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has officially begun repairs, despite the need to mobilize many transport personnel and vehicles.

However, the construction period of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was too short and the amount of repair materials required was too large, which resulted in a shortage of transport capacity.

Zuo Ruxue and her team have extensive transportation experience and own thousands of trucks, making them extremely powerful in land transportation.

Transferring them there now could alleviate the urgent needs of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

After finding the two, Ju Tianrui, without any preamble, said directly:

"Captain Zuo, Captain Xiao."

"Shan Zimo is in charge of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which requires a lot of transportation capacity. Headquarters has arranged for you to take a truck convoy to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway construction site tomorrow to help transport repair materials."

Zuo Ruxue frowned and asked:
"But there's still some equipment and ammunition on the vehicle, as well as guns seized from the Indians. What should we do with these things?"

Ju Tianrui answered without hesitation:
“The military equipment reserves in the snowy area are extremely weak. When the leader inspected the Sanshou branch base, I talked to him and he said that this batch of military equipment could be left in the snowy area as our military strategic reserve.”

When Zuo Ruxue heard that this was the leader's decision, she immediately had no more questions.

"Okay, I'll have my men unload the equipment and ammunition from the truck later, and you can send someone over to receive them."

"Wang Xing, you'll be in charge of receiving and storing it in the warehouse at the San Shou branch base later," Ju Tianrui said to Wang Xing beside him.

"Yes, Director."

Xiao Hu thought for a moment and said:

"Are we going directly to the Qinghai branch base? Or..."

"Yes, I've already checked the route for you. You can go to the Sanjiang branch base first, then head north, through northern Tibet, and directly to the Qinghai branch base."

"Your main task is probably to deliver the materials on the train to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway construction site in batches."

"Understood." Xiao Hu nodded, appearing indifferent.

Their transport team is like a brick; they move it wherever it's needed.

It's been like this for so many years.

Then, Zuo Ruxue and Wang Xing went down and immediately unloaded the guns and ammunition from the car.

Seal and store in warehouse.

The zombie samples and research materials found in the Indian stronghold were transported back to the headquarters research department by helicopter after the battle.

the next day.

Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu then led over a thousand trucks and seven tanker trucks, heading in a grand procession towards the Sanjiang branch base.

They brought dozens of oil tankers this time, and used up a good half of them in the campaign against India.

They took seven tanker trucks with them, leaving the rest at the Fan Yuan San Shou branch base.

There is a shortage of fuel in the snowy area, so we cannot take everything with us.

The armored vehicles of the main force will also need fuel to return to headquarters.

After the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is completed, fuel oil from the Yumen Oilfield will be transported to the Sanshou branch base by rail.

The fuel shortage problem in the snowy area will be greatly alleviated.

On the road.

Xiao Hu put his feet on the dashboard, lit a cigarette, and opened the window.

Holding a walkie-talkie, he chatted with Zuo Ruxue from time to time.

"Old Zuo, we're destined to be on the move. Where do you think we'll be assigned after the Qinghai-Tibet Railway opens?"

"I don't know," Zuo Ruxue said calmly.

"Old Zuo, you're not getting any younger, it's time to find someone to settle down with."

"None of your business. Also, don't call me Lao Zuo, it sounds awful."

"Oh, you woman, we've worked together for so many years, and you still call me Lao Xiao. Why can't I call you Lao Zuo? That's not fair."

"."

Zuo Ruxue ignored him, and Xiao Hu continued speaking to himself:
"I think that after the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is completed, we will most likely return to the railway transportation department."

"Honestly, after so many years in the transportation business, I'm thinking about retiring. I've accumulated so many points that I can't even spend them all, but the problem is I don't have time to spend them."

"Xiao Hu, you're only 42, what kind of retirement are you talking about?" Zuo Ruxue's tone was as usual.

Xiao Hu chuckled and said:

"Just kidding. If I had to stay in one place all the time, I would be so bored. Running a transport business is pretty good. I can see a lot of scenery and I'm always on the road."

"Good."
