It's evening.
The bosses who were still waiting at the General Work Administration finally received the news that they had 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 that they didn't get one, and they waited for it all day in vain.
"It's okay. When the next group of people comes, you will smoke first."
The staff member responsible for the lottery coughed lightly and quickly announced that he was 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 guts?!
And some people are really lucky, winning several times in a row, which makes the staff almost confused.
"Yeah, I have three!"
Opening his envelope, he saw three red slips of paper inside.
Wu You almost jumped up in surprise, and immediately attracted many "hateful" looks from the bosses.
Damn Europeans, bah!
It's no wonder that the business of his weapons shop is getting worse and worse. It turns out that he used all his luck here.
Thinking of this, the others suddenly felt much better.
Wu You himself didn't care and trotted towards the store.
In the weapons store.
It was almost closing time for the store, and Malan was packing up the weapons he had displayed during the day.
Surprisingly, two regular customers came to visit 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 with a loud shout.
"Xiaolan, I drew three cards!"
"We can choose three new people to sign, and no one else can grab them!"
"Three people?"
Compliment politely.
Boss Dog is really lucky!
Malan quickly forced out a smile, and the two of them gathered at the counter to read the recruitment rules.
"When new people enter, they will not enter the village directly. They will also have to spend three days at the outpost for an observation period."
"Mainly checking for infectious diseases?"
"It's necessary. You really have to pass this level, otherwise it won't be good if you get sick when you go to work later."
"After the observation period, the territory will set up an open job fair. Bosses who have obtained contract quotas can contact job seekers on the spot. If both parties agree, they can sign a labor agreement."
"The maximum agreement period shall not exceed two years, and the minimum period shall not be less than half a year."
"Initial salary, there is also a limit???"
"No more than 22 copper coins, no less than 13 copper coins!"
In order to prevent vicious competition, Qiao Yuansheng, now the head of Hope Village, has already set up a series of regulations.
Very friendly to most people and safe for job seekers.
If we have to say something was sacrificed, it can only be said that the top group of survivors were sacrificed.
They will not be able to 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 Mr. Qiao made such arrangements.
Than giving these people better treatment from the beginning.
He also wanted to assign these people to ordinary positions first, so that they would have sufficient time to understand the territory.
When they understand it well enough, these people will naturally jump out and shine.
To the east of the warning wall, to the 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 dimmed, many survivors are still curiously lying on the car windows, looking at the ruins of the city in the distance that look like giant beasts.
So shocking!
Qinggang City, enveloped in the aura of death, looks exactly like the earth that humans have left.
As time changes day after day, the ruins of the city are eaten away bit by bit, and eventually only some mutated plants and radioactive beasts remain.
Traces of humanity disappeared into the wind and sand.
Everywhere you look, you are filled with darkness, desolation, 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 are, and there are more than two million people."
The old-fashioned Peng Ling Mozi smiled. Although he had never really seen it, he still introduced it in a familiar tone:
"You should have all learned about the history of the Blue Star people on the World Channel, right? The people they left behind after the war also chose to build shelters underground just like us."
"There are dozens of underground shelters in Qinggang City, so it looks desolate, but in fact it is lively."
All 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. When they saw the convoy coming, they 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!"
Chu Ling Mo Zi puffed up his chest and said extremely proudly.
Warning wall?!
The people by the car window had their eyes almost bulging out, and they wanted to stick their heads out through the glass.
Why don't you build the Great Wall here?
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?
Amid constant exclamations, the vehicle quickly stopped in front of the city gate for inspection.
The first is the survivor who has been stuck in the Baili Deng carriage for a long time.
Since the visual window on the carriage is very small, only two people can squeeze in there and look out.
So as soon as the door opened, 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 mind.
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 you are threatened by infectious diseases, big or small, do you?"
"The villages in our territory are full of healthy people. If you are allowed to go there, I am afraid that in two or three days everyone will be infected."
"Now, line up to get checked out by the doctor."
"Those who are sick will be treated, and those who are not sick will be observed for three days before going to live in a gathering place."
Doctor check?
What did I think it was!
Waiting for a doctor's examination?
Seeing the doctors wearing white coats in isolation suits, holding various examination instruments in their hands, and even pushing a trolley with an analysis machine connected to a mobile power supply, many survivors who had been sick for a long time were suddenly stunned.
Somewhat unbearable.
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 without modern machines and various medicines, all they can do is some emergency wound treatment, and there is nothing they can do to cure the disease.
Now this Tianyuan territory
This is too luxurious!
"There are hell flowers, be careful."
When I 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 Lin Cheng checked Mother Lin with pious pleading, his face became more solemn and he said.
"The quarantine period was set to three days before, but now I'm afraid it will have to be increased to five days."
"Luckily you came early, otherwise we would have been in big trouble if we had delayed it for a few more days!"
"Now then" Lin Cheng stopped talking.
"Why don't we hurry up and push the patient in and send him to the hospital?"
The doctor in a white coat shook his head, looked at Lin Cheng and the family members of the critically ill patients with idiotic eyes, then stood up and left.
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.
But in the wasteland, you can say the words "send to hospital".
"You will know it later. Go to the isolation point at the door and line up first."
Xiao Yang was a real person, so he stuck his head out of the car door and spoke.
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 separate 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, and 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 there to sign later."
"OK!"
Lin Cheng nodded quickly and had something else to say.
But looking at the bustling outpost camp not far away through the doorway of the city wall, he still held back his words.
By the time we got here, it was already too late to say we were worried or something.
Since the other party has detected the Hell Flower Virus, he has not expressed any concern about this disease.
Maybe it can be completely cured as they advertised in the sea station?
"Go, go, the rest of the people don't occupy the aisle. Men go in blue, women go in red."
"There are signs, just go to the corresponding place."
At that time, the signboard welcoming Pingtan veterans was changed, and now it is a signboard welcoming survivors.
It's just that the places indicated above have changed, leaving only four places.
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.
"And new clothes?"
Cheng Fei was a little dumbfounded as he watched the logistics staff take two large packages of things from the warehouse.
The two pairs of underwear, one red and one blue, look very festive. The material should be pure cotton and 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, it does not have too many fancy style modifications.
But in the wasteland, this luxury is jaw-dropping.
There is also a heavy army green cotton coat, which looks very similar to the same style of 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 when he traveled through last year. They had been badly worn during the migration, especially the toes of the shoes had several holes in them, and his toes were sticking out from inside.
The trousers 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, 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 the time travel, with a simple windproof canopy woven from thatch on top, how miserable it was.
"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 full of emotion.
Nodding silently, the two of them left with heavy steps.
For a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses when a bathroom the size of a small supermarket appeared in front of him.
"Is this really a territory built by us humans?"
Cheng Fei couldn't help but ask, and Lin Cheng's answer was helpless and he shook his head.
no?
Still don’t know?
The supplies in his 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.
"Go in, maybe we will really survive this time!"
Stopping at the bathroom door with the two of them were many survivors who had finished receiving supplies.
Watching the steaming heat, everyone's face 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, the human heart is too crowded, caught up in the game of confusion or the destiny of truth'
‘I asked myself, after finishing this far, how much haze is left that I don’t have to struggle with?
‘It’s just that we have no choice but to have no one to communicate with us about these problems, so we have to let life get in the way’
‘.’
‘The joke is over, I can’t help but do it’
'There is still sweat along the way, the dream has not decayed, and the fate will be remembered in the end.'
'Do not forget peace of mind'
One song is over.
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 smiles on their faces.
Let’s 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 begin to play out like a slideshow.
The cry of countless falls, the countless hardships between life and death.
Finally, this damn thief!
We still made it through!
