Chapter 1515 Different ways of survival, home furnishing store?
It is about 15 kilometers northwest of Oil City.
Nam Van Lake.
A lake covering a large area.
Surrounded by the surrounding hills,
The environment is quiet and lush.
The tall tree crowns are reflected in the lake.
above the mountain col,
Zhang Rufeng and his group came out of the trading market and drove a truck quickly past.
He received an order to take people out to cut down trees and transport the logs back to the Trade Market Industrial Park.
Open the car window, the mountain breeze is blowing.
Zhang Rufeng was sitting in the passenger seat, holding an automatic rifle in his hand and looking at the lake at the foot of the mountain on the right.
I feel very happy.
Now, he is also the captain of the Eighth Branch of the Militia Division of the Military Department of Da Zhangshu Base.
Now in the trading market, whoever sees him would not call him Captain Zhang.
When his daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, he can be considered a success.
Thinking of these years of displacement, he felt a little sad.
Four years ago, he was also the eldest son of the Zhang family in the Western Conference.
Until later, the Zhang family's property was targeted by Gan Xiong, and everyone in the Zhang family was slaughtered. If he hadn't happened to be in the Western Alliance, he probably wouldn't have escaped death.
He fled all the way to Sanshan Village in Yun Province, where he became a live-in son-in-law.
Those days were frustrating and a son-in-law had no dignity.
But after all, I have a child and a wife, and I originally thought that when I climbed up to the throne, I could take revenge with the people of the Three Mountains Village.
Later, Zhou Zhisheng and Liu Taishan joined him, which gave him more courage.
However, when he finally gained enough strength to take Liu Taishan and the others back to the Western Alliance, he discovered that the Western Alliance... was gone.
He was very happy and thought he could spend his life in peace when he returned to Sanshan Village.
But not long after, a group of lunatics from Southeast Asia broke their tranquility.
The Sanshan Mountain Stronghold collapsed, and his wife Yoamu and their unborn child also died.
He took the remaining people from Sanshan Village with him, as well as Zhou Zhisheng, Liu Taishan and others.
Escape all the way.
Until that day, they escaped to a helicopter training base on the top of a mountain and met Li Yu and the others.
From that moment on, their fate completely changed.
Trekking all the way from the southwest to the Da Zhangshu base.
There were many people who fled to Da Zhangshu Base from the southwest, and some of them started a rebellion, but Zhang Rufeng did not participate.
He tried every means to increase his presence in front of Li Yu and worked conscientiously on everything he did.
Even when the first batch of people were recruited in Oil City, he immediately led people to sign up.
Facts have proved that his efforts paid off.
Not only did he lead Guitou and Liu Taishan to become non-staff members, he even became the captain of the eighth team of the Civil Armed Forces Brigade.
People, both situations will always remind you of the past.
One is when you get older, and the other is when you achieve certain achievements.
Zhang Rufeng looked at himself in the rearview mirror. He had grown a beard and looked much more mature.
"Captain, there is a cedar forest ahead," said A Diao, the co-pilot.
Zhang Rufeng looked at the cedar forest in front of him, nodded and said:
"Okay, drive the car over."
Fir is the preferred material for making bed frames, and there happens to be a large fir forest near Xinyang.
The advantages of fir include durability, toughness, low oiliness, and will not pollute bedding.
Moreover, with good flexibility and anti-corrosion properties, it is not susceptible to moisture and deformation, and can maintain its original texture and beauty even if used for a long time. In addition, fir wood also has a natural fragrance, which helps to relax the body and mind.
Helps improve sleep quality.
As trucks drove in, the circle of shrubs at the edge of the cedar forest was compacted and flattened.
Zhang Rufeng jumped out of the car.
Looking at this cedar forest.
The cedar forest seemed to be enchanted. The straight cedar trees pointed straight into the sky, and the leaves shone in the light. The dark brown tree trunks were tall and straight, handsome in appearance, combining strength and softness.
Surrounded by this solemn silence, the cedar trees are like scattered paint trays, gradually forming a gorgeous color.
Zhang Rufeng stretched out and took a deep breath of fresh air.
It's September now, early autumn.
Admiring the graceful fir trees bathed in the sunshine, immersed in the quiet beauty of this autumn, awe of nature arises spontaneously, and it seems that all the worries have disappeared in this moment of tranquility.
After looking at the beautiful fir forest for a while, Zhang Rufeng shouted to everyone:
"Work!"
"Guitou, you lead a small team to patrol around the cedar forest to clean up zombies. If any zombies approach, alert us immediately."
"Liu Taishan, you lead a small team and keep an eye on Nanhu Bay, which is not far from Nanhu Bay. I'm worried that too much movement here will attract the zombies in Nanhu Bay."
"A Diao, please take a few people to watch the car."
...
After arranging and assigning tasks to the people in his team, he walked to the back of the motorcade.
Several trucks at the back of the convoy were filled with people coming to log wood.
Zhang Rufeng searched among the crowd and found a tall man with a straight face.
"Old Wang, you can ask your people to get started."
Wang Xin, the leader of the garbage group, turned his head when he heard Zhang Rufeng's voice.
"Okay, wait a minute, we have to take down the chainsaw first."
The Garbage Group is also one of the former affiliated forces in the North.
Later, he was transferred to the south and moved to the trading market together with Jiming Ancient Temple, Iron Blood Gang, Summer Resort, Karst Cave, Dawn Group, Tattoo Gang and other forces.
Now in the trading market, he is a level 4 member.
It is one level lower than Zhang Rufeng and other third-level members.
Although their levels are different, at least they all survived the thunderstorm disaster together.
So Zhang Rufeng didn't put on any airs.
Zhang Rufeng led the team this time. His main task was to protect the fellers, supervise the fellers to cut down, and transport the logs back to the trading market industrial zone.
The garbage group Wang Xin has only one main task, logging!
The fully charged chainsaw was brought down.
The lumberjacks separated one by one and cut into the tall fir trees.
Sizzling——
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The chainsaw rotates crazily and rubs against the trees, causing sawdust to fly everywhere.
After five or six years of growth, these trees have become luxuriant.
Moreover, there has been a heavy rainstorm every now and then in recent years, which makes the trees drink up enough water.
So it grows very big.
Boom!
A cedar tree fell to the ground with a crash.
They divided the work to cut the branches from the fir tree and saw them into uniform lengths of three meters.
Then use a forklift to load the truck.
More and more wood was loaded on the truck until it was full. The driver started the vehicle and drove towards the trading market with the full load of fir trees.
It is only a dozen kilometers away from the Oil City and can be reached in less than twenty minutes.
Saw down the big tree, repair the big branches, cut them into pieces, put the fork on the truck, fill it up and drive back...
In this entire assembly line, everyone has a clear division of labor.
Very efficient.
Zhang Rufeng found a place and sat on a raised stone.
He dug into his pocket and took out a notebook.
The cover of the book reads "Collection of Rufeng Poems".
Turning to the first page is: A song praising the great Lord Li.
He held his notebook, looked at the beautiful cedar forest, silently took out a pencil and started writing poetry.
...
Sizzling——
Ou Ming finished sawing the fir tree and wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck.
He picked up the kettle on his waist and drank two glasses of water.
Looking at the group leader Wang Xin next to him, he said with a little irritability:
"Captain, when will we be promoted to third-level personnel? Damn it, I heard that the Eagle Gang and the Stormwind gang who stayed in the north have become third-level non-staff personnel."
"They didn't go south to answer the call. We all came south to Oil City and we haven't become third-level non-staff personnel yet. It's so unreasonable."
When Wang Xin heard his men complaining, he turned off the electric saw in his hand and put it down.
He glanced at his subordinates, wiped his sweat, and said slowly:
“During thunderstorms and natural disasters, we did not go to the wall to join the battle.
For the Eagles and Tornados who are stuck in the north, guess what their mortality rate is?"
Without waiting for his men to answer, Wang Xin continued: "At least half of them are dead."
"The most exaggerated thing is that the Mighty Gang was completely wiped out."
"Don't compare with them, they have paid a lot, even their lives."
"As for us, we just need to work hard in peace and contentment. Don't you think our current life should be satisfying?"
"There are continuous tasks, and when there are tasks, those of us are the first batch to be selected to execute them. You have to know that in the trading market, there are many people who are willing to do our job. Those survivors are rushing to do it.
.”
"Be content!"
Wang Xin's words made Ou Ming think deeply.
What the leader said is not wrong. For some survivors at the bottom, in fact, as long as it gives them a chance to survive, they are willing to do anything.
Currently, many survivors are rushing to complete the construction tasks in the trading market.
However, the trading market still gives priority to those who were members of the former northern affiliated forces. After recruiting them, some suitable candidates will be selected from ordinary survivors.
When Ou Ming heard what the group leader said, he stopped talking about it.
"Leader, I heard that the housing environment of the trading market is being reformed. What level do you think we can live in then?"
Wang Xin thought for a while and said, "At least the second level. The third level is unlikely. We are also level 4 members after all."
Ou Ming said awkwardly: "But our stay is free, and their level 5 personnel who run in need to pay accommodation fees."
"Do you think the wood we cut down is used for the housing environment reform in the trading market?"
Wang Xin frowned and said: "The second level should be possible, and the same is true for free."
"As for these woods, that's for sure. I heard from Manager Huang that they are used to make beds. This fir wood is quite suitable for making beds."
Just as Ou Ming was about to continue speaking, Wang Xin said:
"Let's continue working. We have just sawed two trees. We have been chatting here for more than ten minutes. Let's saw a few more trees first."
.........
At noon.
They had already sawed out a clearing, and at least a thousand cedar trees had fallen on the ground.
Boom!
A thick cedar tree fell to the ground with a crash.
"Damn, what a waste, tit eggs!" He Mingfeng said with some regret as he looked at the bird's nest on the canopy of the fir tree.
He quickly picked up the broken tit egg from the bird's nest, then put it to his mouth and sucked the egg liquid from the broken tit egg.
Fishy, but delicious.
God knows how long it had been since he had eaten food with such a high protein content.
There were four tit eggs in total, two were broken, and he sucked the two broken tit eggs clean.
Throughout the morning this morning, the logging crews discovered snakes, squirrels and other small animals one after another while logging. Naturally, these small animals had their necks cut off and became their lunch.
Among them, the most commonly discovered is the climbing vine, which is also a Chinese herbal medicine.
It has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, relieving joint pain, and relieving bruises and swelling caused by bruises, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, and effectively eliminating moisture and coldness in the body.
After this plant was recognized by people, it was divided up.
In the last few years, there have been frequent heavy rains and humid weather, and it is easy for joints to suffer from rheumatic pain, and sometimes injuries. Some of this medicinal material can be used.
Twelve noon.
The sun is scorching.
Ou Ming, Wang Xin and other members of the garbage group carried their small packages and walked to the shade of the woods nearby.
The fir trees in the middle have all been sawed off by them. Without the canopy to block the sun, the sun shines brightly at noon, making it easy to suffer from heatstroke.
"call--"
"I'm so hot."
Ou Ming was sweating profusely and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Captain, I feel that we need to find a few more sources to increase points. It's not enough to just rely on us to do various coolie tasks."
Wang Xin glanced at Ou Ming and asked, "Tell me what you think."
Ou Ming said excitedly:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's open a shop in the trading market. Didn't Chen Dachui from the Tattoo Gang open a Lao Chen braised food shop? The business is quite good."
"What kind of store are you opening? Can you make marinade?" Wang Xin asked.
Ou Ming shook his head, "I don't know how to make marinade."
"But we can do what we are good at. For example, I can make bamboo weaving. I remember that He Mingfeng and several others came from a furniture factory. They can make furniture."
Wang Xin frowned and said:
"But, isn't what we are doing now just collecting logs and transporting them to the trading market to make beds? Isn't it unnecessary for us to open another store?"
Ou Ming quickly said:
"No, leader, think about it. Oil City can only make a few simple pieces of furniture, right? It's impossible to get everything right, but there will definitely be people who have more needs."
"Actually, it's not just furniture, but all kinds of bamboo products and wood products can be made. Leader, don't just think about making furniture."
"If you don't say anything else, just say that I am a bamboo weaver, and I can make: bamboo chairs, bamboo tables, bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, steamers..."
"And we have no raw material costs, only labor costs. Even the store we open can choose the one with the cheapest rent and the smallest area to reduce the rent cost."
Wang Xin thought for a long time, and his eyes gradually brightened.
"Indeed... you can do that."
When Ou Ming heard that the group leader was supporting him, he stood up excitedly and shouted towards He Mingfeng who was not far away:
"Old He, come here quickly. I have something important to discuss with you."
He Mingfeng, who was debating whether to eat the two eggs raw or hatch them, put the two eggs in the lunch box, stood up and walked over.
