Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

"Great, Qingsong, these two big ones must weigh over 300 jin (150 kg) together!"

Gao Dazhi ran over, his face flushed with excitement.

He never imagined that he would be able to defeat such a large number of opponents this time.

Zhao Qingsong looked at the wild boars that had already run far away on the radar: "It's a pity, quite a few of the smaller ones got away."

However, these guys didn't get out of the 500-meter radar range.

I'm hesitating about whether to go and hunt another one.

Gao Dazhi chuckled and said, "Wild boars aren't as easy to hunt as you think. They have thick skin and tough flesh. Even if you injure them, they can still run away. We've already managed to hunt two big ones today, so we're incredibly lucky."

Zhao Qingsong looked around: "This is troublesome. We're quite deep in the mountains; it won't be easy to get this back!"

"Yeah! It's not easy! We have no choice but to drag it back! We'll cut down the tree, put the pork on the sticks, and drag it back. Come on, let's cut down the tree and peel some bark."

"good!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed, and the two of them went to find a sapling to cut down.

We didn't have any barbecue at noon; we just ate the dry food we brought.

After they finished eating, the two began to tie up the wooden raft. Two hours later, a simple wooden raft was tied up.

Place wild boars, pheasants, and rabbits hunted at the hunting grounds.

"Clap clap clap!"

Gao Dazhi clapped his hands, breathing out warm air.

"Let's go, the two of us will drag it back; one person probably can't handle it."

He glanced around and said, "Head southwest, the car should be parked over there."

"Okay, I don't know the way either. Let's go."

Zhao Qingsong agreed, and the two of them carried the rope made of tree bark on their shoulders and trudged through the snow.

"Creak!"

"Creak!"

Stepping on the snow, the two struggled to move forward.

Zhao Qingsong's physical fitness has improved a lot, but he is still within the range of an ordinary person, similar to the strong laborers in the village, and not much easier than Gao Dazhi.

……

It took the two of them more than three hours to finally get out of the 5-kilometer stretch.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted."

Gao Dazhi wasn't as strong as Zhao Qingsong, so after he came out, he squatted down on the ground.

He stood there panting, saying, "Damn it, back in the day when we were fighting, carrying ammunition boxes, we could run dozens of miles at a time, and we weren't this out of breath!"

Zhao Qingsong handed him a cigarette and smiled, "The situation is different! Back then it was war; if you were slow, you'd be dead. Besides, those two wild boars weren't exactly easy prey!"

"That's true!"

Gao Dazhi felt comforted, took the cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

"call!"

He exhaled a long puff of smoke before saying, "You know what? Back then, if you ran too slowly, you'd be dead. You couldn't stop. Now, working in the factory, I don't get much time to train. If it weren't for the famine years, I'd probably have a belly by now."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Zhao Qingsong smiled and asked, "Have you ever been injured in battle before?"

"No one goes through war without getting injured. At the worst point, my intestines were ruptured. Medical conditions were poor back then, and I almost didn't survive."

Gao Dazhi smiled, his eyes somewhat unfocused, as if he were recalling the past.

The two of them chatted idly, exchanging a few words here and there.

……

After resting for more than ten minutes, their body temperature dropped and they felt a bit cold, so the two of them got up.

"Let's find the car first; it'll be easier to hang it on. It shouldn't be far."

Gao Dazhi looked at the route and said to him.

"good!"

The two continued dragging the pork along.

Coincidentally, they had only walked a few steps when they heard the sound of a truck in the distance.

"Beep beep beep!"

The sound of the car horn made the two stop and turn around to look.

"Hey, Officer Gao! You guys shot down a wild boar?"

The car slowly stopped beside the two of them. The window rolled down, revealing a face; judging from the clothes, the person was probably from the steel factory.

Gao Dazhi saw him and laughed.

"Zheng Yueshan! It's you!"

He then hurriedly urged, "Come down and help! We've killed two wild boars! Load them onto the truck and take them back."

"Wow, that's impressive!"

The other party quickly got out of the car.

Seeing this, Gao Dazhi smiled at Zhao Qingsong and said, "These are people from our factory's transportation team, probably passing through on their way to pick up coal from the mountains. It saves us the trouble."

Zheng Yueshan got out of the car, still wearing white cotton gloves.

After getting off, he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he offered the two men a cigarette and said with a smile, "Wow, these two must weigh three or four hundred pounds! Where did you hunt them? Are these new recruits from the security department?"

Gao Dazhi took the cigarette and smiled: "It must weigh about three or four hundred pounds! We caught it in the mountains, and we were lucky to run into a whole swarm."

Looking at Zhao Qingsong accepting the cigarette, he smiled and said, "This is our department's new recruit, Zhao Qingsong. Qingsong, this is Zheng Yueshan, the squad leader of our factory's transportation team."

"Hello!"

Zhao Qingsong accepted the cigarette politely, saying that having more friends meant having more options.

Zheng Yueshan looked at the pork, rubbed his hands together, and chuckled, "Um... I know the factory rules, Officer Gao. You guys should get a good share of this meat. Could you sell me some later? I won't let you lose out. I won't pay you; I'll trade you some supplies. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Dazhi pondered for a moment without answering, and looked at Zhao Qingsong.

Seeing the other person's gaze, Zheng Yueshan was puzzled.

An experienced employee looking after a newcomer?

Moreover, he seemed to be asking a question with a sense of lofty ambition.

Zhao Qingsong noticed the gazes of the two men.

After thinking for a moment, he laughed and said, "Sure! You can take as much as you want, but not too much, because when relatives and friends find out, they'll probably come asking for more."

Having more friends means having more options.

"Haha, okay, how about two or three catties? If not, we can make it even less. What do you need? I'll get it for you."

Zheng Yueshan said with a smile.

Gao Dazhi looked at Zhao Qingsong and smiled, "Let me tell you, the transport team often goes out on missions and can get a lot of good stuff. If you need anything, just ask. That should be enough."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingsong suddenly understood.

The backer eats the mountain.

The factory's transportation team often goes out to carry out transportation tasks, sometimes to other cities, where they naturally earn more money.

However, he doesn't know what he wants right now.

Two or three pounds of meat can't buy much.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the big truck.

His eyes lit up: "Sure! Three catties it is! Um... I don't need anything, I just wanted to learn how to drive at the transport team when Captain Zheng isn't busy."

He can drive.

However, it cannot be revealed to the world, otherwise people will become suspicious.

Zheng Yueshan pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Finally, he agreed: "Sure, no problem. The factory isn't too busy lately, and there are quite a few cars available. You can learn in two or three days. However, while you can learn, I can't get you a driver's license. You need to take a test and learn maintenance, which I doubt you'll have time for."

"Okay, no problem. You just need to know how to drive."

Drivers' salaries were quite high in that era.

The lowest price is 45 yuan per month.

That's equivalent to the salary of a level 5 worker.

Zheng Yueshan smiled, threw his cigarette butt on the ground, and said with a laugh, "Okay, it's settled then. Come find me later. Let's go, put the things in the car."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingsong and his companion both threw down their cigarettes and began to help.

Wearing gloves, Zheng Yueshan climbed onto the truck by stepping on the door and reached out his hands while standing on the coal.

"You guys do it, I'll pull it."

Seeing this, Gao Dazhi and Zhao Qingsong worked together to lift the wild boar.

Zheng Yueshan grabbed the pig's trotter and dragged it into the car.

"Pfft!"

One end went into the car, and the other end was quickly finished as well.

"Thump!"

Zheng Yueshan jumped out of the car, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Alright, I'll go first then. This meat will be delivered directly to the cafeteria later. Do you want a ride back? Squeeze in."

"No need, the car is just ahead. You can take me to the car."

Gao Dashan refused.

"Alright then, get in the car."

Seeing this, the two squeezed into the passenger seat.
