It's evening.
The bosses who were still waiting at the General Administration of Work finally received the news that they got their wish.
A red strip of paper represents a pass, and one represents a quota.
There may be three or four documents in the application documents returned by someone.
Some people were unlucky, they didn’t get one and they waited all day in vain.
"It's okay. When the next batch of people comes, you will be drawn first."
The staff responsible for the lottery coughed lightly and quickly announced that they were off work to avoid the bosses' scolding.
There is no way, it is too difficult to be fair.
The lottery machine was sent from the dungeon, and the back hatch of the machine was sealed with the lord's seal. Even if they wanted to control the results secretly, they didn't have the courage? !
And some people are really lucky. They have won several times in a row and the staff are almost stunned.
"Yeah, I have three!"
Opened his envelope and saw three red slips of paper inside.
Wu You almost jumped up in surprise, and immediately attracted many "hateful" looks from the bosses.
These damn Europeans, bah!
No wonder the business of his weapons store is getting worse and worse. It turns out that he uses all his luck here.
Thinking of this, the others suddenly felt much better.
Wu You himself didn't care and hurriedly trotted towards the store.
Weapons store.
It was almost closing time for the store, and Ma Lan was packing up the weapons that he had displayed during the day.
What is surprising is that two old customers came to the door today.
The two of them each bought five crossbow arrows, saying that the ones they made themselves were not very useful, so they bought a few new ones and went back to dismantle and study them. They thanked the boss for the gift.
Ma Lan felt that if she told this to her boss Wu You, she would be so angry that he would have a heart attack.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Wu You rushed in, screaming.
"Xiaolan, I drew three!"
"We can choose three new people to sign, and no one else can grab them!"
< br>
"Three people?"
Polite compliment.
Boss Dog is really lucky!
Ma Lan quickly forced out a smile, and the two of them gathered at the counter to look up the recruitment rules.
“When new people enter, they will not enter the village directly. They must also spend three days at the outpost for an observation period.”
"It's mainly to check for infectious diseases?"
"This is necessary. This level must be passed, otherwise it will be bad when you get sick when you go to work."
"The territory will be closed after the observation period. Set up an open job fair, and bosses who have obtained contract quotas can contact job seekers on the spot. If both parties agree, they can sign a labor agreement.” In half a year."
"Is there any limit?"
"No more than 22 iron coins, no less than 13 iron coins!"
In order to prevent vicious competition, Qiao Yuansheng, now the head of Hope Village, has already set a series of regulations.
Very friendly for most people and secure for job seekers.
If we have to say what was sacrificed, it can only be said that the top group of survivors were sacrificed.
They cannot get a high starting salary from the beginning, nor will they have much better treatment than others.
But this is also one of the important reasons why Qiao Yuansheng made such arrangements.
Compared to giving these people better treatment from the beginning.
He would rather place these people in ordinary positions first so that they have sufficient time to understand the territory.
When they understand it better, these people will naturally jump out and shine.
East of the warning wall, west of Qinggang City.
After a day's journey, the troop transport convoy finally entered the territory's actual control area.
Even though the sky has darkened, many survivors are still curiously lying on the car windows, looking at the ruins of the city in the distance like giant beasts.
It’s so shocking!
Qinggang City, enveloped in the aura of death, looks exactly like the earth that humans left.
As time changes day after day, the ruins of the city are eaten away bit by bit, and eventually only some mutated plants, radiation beasts, remain.
Traces of humanity disappeared into the wind and sand.
Everywhere you look is filled with darkness, loneliness, desolation and other feelings that are difficult to describe in words.
“Is there anyone else in there?”
Someone asked in a weak voice.
“Of course there is, and there are more than two million people.”
The old-fashioned Pu Ling Mozi smiled. Although he had never really seen it, he still introduced it in a familiar tone:
"You should have learned about the history of the Blue Star people on the World Channel, right? ? The people left behind after the war also chose to build shelters underground."
"There are dozens of underground shelters in Qinggang City, so it looks desolate. , It’s actually quite lively.”
The survivors nodded blankly.
Many people still had questions in their minds, but soon, their attention was firmly attracted by a wall that appeared on the ground.
Compared to that city, this wall does not seem to carry an unusually heavy sense of history.
It seems to be newly built?
There were figures flickering on the city wall as if they were on patrol. They saw the convoy approaching and communicated a few times with the language of lights.
Could it be
“This is the border of our Tianyuan territory!”
"This wall is our warning wall that separates the city from the territory!"
Pulling Moth puffed up his chest and said extremely proudly.
Warning wall? !
The eyes of the people by the car window were so wide that they wanted to stick their heads out through the glass.
Where do you want to build the Great Wall?
Not to mention these survivors on earth, even the gopher guy next door will be shocked when he sees it for the first time.
Who could have imagined that in a wasteland with such a shortage of supplies, there would be forces willing to spend such a huge price to build such a wall?
Amidst the exclamations one after another, the vehicle quickly stopped in front of the city gate for inspection.
The first is the survivor who has been bored in the Baili Deng carriage for a long time.
Because the visual window on the carriage is very small, only two people can squeeze in there and look out.
So at this moment, the door had just opened, and dozens of people rushed down screaming, wanting to see what the towering giant wall looked like.
However, before they took a few steps, they saw a circle of staff wearing white protective suits surrounding them.
Subconsciously, everyone was startled, and a bad thought inevitably came to their minds.
Is this Tianyuan territory really a lackey of the Blue Star people?
Now we want to arrest them and use them as experimental subjects?
But soon, Xiao Yang, the co-pilot's guard, came down and answered their questions.
"What are you yelling about? You don't think that the infectious diseases in your body are a threat, do you?"
"The villages in our territory are all healthy people. If you are allowed to pass, I'm afraid both of you will It will take three days for everyone to be infected.”
“Now, line up for medical examination.”
“Those who are sick will be treated and those who are not sick will be observed for three days. Gathering life.”
Doctor's examination?
What do I think it is!
Waiting for a doctor’s examination?
I saw doctors wearing white coats in isolation suits, holding various examination instruments in their hands, and even pushing carts with analysis machines connected to mobile power supplies. Many of them had long been sick. All the survivors suddenly became unable to hold their nerve.
Being able to establish a medical system in the wasteland is definitely something that is very difficult to achieve in ordinary gathering places.
It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice, and they met many doctors along the way.
It's a pity that the doctors also told them clearly that after breaking away from modern machines and various types of medicines, all they can do is some emergency wound treatment, and there is nothing they can do to cure the disease.
This current Tianyuan territory
This is too luxurious! "There are hell flowers, be careful."
When he heard that there were actually many patients infected with the Hell Flower Virus, the inspection standards were raised to another level.
Two Baili Deng vehicles drove out from behind the city wall, dragging behind them a square box similar to an RV trailer.
It is a temporary medical treatment room.
Doctors wearing white isolation suits examined several critically ill patients.
Especially after checking Lin’s mother under Lin Cheng’s pious plea, his face became more solemn and he said.
"The quarantine period was set to three days before, but now I'm afraid it has to be increased to five days."
"Luckily you came early, otherwise if you delay it for a few more days, you will be in big trouble!"
"Now then" Lin Cheng hesitated before speaking.
"Hurry up and push the patient in and send him to the hospital."
The doctor in a white coat shook his head and looked at Lin Cheng and the seriously ill patients with idiot eyes. The patient's family members took one look at him and stood up to leave.
The survivors behind were left looking embarrassed and at a loss.
Send him to the hospital. Of course they know this. They are not people from primitive times.
You can say the words 'send to hospital' in the wasteland.
"You will know it later. Go to the isolation point at the door and line up first."
Xiao Yang is a real person, he stuck his head out of the car door and said something.
He is also considered a person who has been in close contact with refugees. According to regulations, he also has to quarantine for three days.
After getting off the car and waiting for Cheng Fei behind, Cheng’s mother called Uncle Liu’s daughter Liu Na.
The two families reunited and walked to the isolation point under the city wall.
However, what was a little embarrassing was that when he reached the isolation point, Lin Chengcai found that there were different passages for men and women.
In addition, there is an eye-catching patient channel.
"Hell Flower?" The guard guarding the isolation point looked at the label on the simple gurney and directed the two people to step forward: "The patient is handed over to us. We will send a car to transport her to the hospital."
"The treatment fee costs money. You don't have any money now. The family members remember to go over there to sign later."
"Okay!"
Lin Cheng nodded quickly, and there was something wrong in his mouth. Want to say something.
But looking at the bustling outpost camp not far away through the doorway of the city wall, he still held back his words.
When we got here, it was already too late to say we were worried.
Since the other party has detected the Hell Flower Virus, they have not expressed concern about this disease.
Perhaps it can be completely cured as they advertised in the sea station?
"Go, go, go, the remaining people don't occupy the passage. Men go blue, women go red."
"There are signs, go to the corresponding place by yourself."
The sign that greeted veterans of Pingtan was changed, and now it is a sign that welcomes survivors.
It’s just that the places indicated above have changed, and there are only four places left.
Registration office, bathroom, canteen, temporary isolation point.
After registering your information at the registration office, you will receive a temporary territorial identity certificate.
Similar to a magnetic card, information can be swiped on the machine.
"Are there any new clothes?"
Watching the logistics staff taking two large packages of things from the warehouse, Cheng Fei was a little dumbfounded.
Two pairs of underwear, one red and one blue, look very festive. The material should be pure cotton, and it feels unusually soft.
Two sets of base layers, one of which is regular long-sleeved trousers, and the other is a sweater and cotton trousers.
Although it is not as well-designed as the same style on earth, there are not many fancy style modifications.
But in the wasteland, this luxury is jaw-dropping.
There is also a heavy military green cotton coat, which looks very similar to the same style as the military coat.
And some white socks and underwear.
Even if you change it every two days and wash it once, it can last for a week.
Is this for us?
Cheng Fei lowered his head in shame.
Only then did he realize that he was still wearing the same pair of travel shoes he had worn during the journey last year. They had been badly worn during the migration, especially the toes of the shoes, which had a few holes in them, and his toes were all scratched. The inside was sticking out.
The pants on the legs are full of patches, and for these patches, it took a lot of money to mend them in the deep sea.
The upper body was even worse.
When traveling through time, most people were in public shelters and dressed very casually.
Now in the cold winter, he was still wearing the same sweatshirt he had worn during time travel, with a simple windproof canopy woven from thatch on top, which was so miserable.
"Take it, this is all bought with your future wages, don't get too excited."
The staff seemed to have experienced this scene personally, and their eyes were filled with emotion.
Nodding silently, the two of them left with heavy steps.
For a moment, it was not until a bathroom the size of a small supermarket appeared in front of me that I suddenly came back to reality.
"Is this really a territory built by us humans?"
Cheng Fei couldn't help but ask, and Lin Cheng shook his head helplessly in answer.
No?
Still don’t know?
The supplies in my hands seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms at this time, making people unable to breathe.
It's like suddenly coming to heaven from hell. After experiencing too much excitement, the body's self-protection mechanism will inhibit the continued secretion of dopamine, causing a feeling of worry about gain and loss.
"Let's go in, maybe we will survive this time!"
Standing at the bathroom door with the two of them, there were many survivors who had finished receiving supplies.
Looking at the steaming heat, everyone looked a bit sad, not knowing what they were sighing for.
But in the end, it all turned into a long sigh.
As soon as a person stepped in, the speaker at the bathroom door made a faint noise, and melodious music began to play.
The ethereal male voice came from it, like raindrops falling gently on the pond, causing thousands of ripples.
'Don't linger any longer, people's hearts are too crowded, confused by the game of chaos or the destiny of truth'
'I asked myself, after finishing this far, how much haze is left without struggle
' br>
'It's just that no one can communicate with these problems, so we have to let life get in the way'
'.'
'The joke is over, I can't help but'
'There is still sweat along the way, the dream has not decayed, and the fate will be remembered in the end.'
'Don't Forget the peace of mind'
A song is finished.
Someone was sitting on a stool in the bathroom, unable to bear the turmoil in his heart anymore, hugging his head and crying.
In front of them, the dead family members seemed to appear not far away again, gently comforting them with a smile on their faces.
Live well with our hope.
Someone was lying on the ground, laughing regardless of the image, angrily cursing God for being unfair and having a bad fate.
Before their eyes, the sufferings of the past began to play fast like a slideshow.
Countless tears of falling, countless trials between life and death.
Finally, this damn thief!
We still survived!
