In the cedar forest, the loud noise of the chainsaw attracted several zombies.
Zhang Rufeng looked at Guitou behind him, and several people from Guitou walked over carrying spears.
Whoosh!
Phew!
The ghost head pulled out the spear from the zombie's head, and the zombie fell to the ground with a sound.
Zhang Rufeng was sitting on the front of the car. After seeing the zombies being dealt with, he put his hands behind his head and fell on the front of the car to rest.
Suddenly a head poked out of the car.
"Captain, there is news from Oil City, asking when our team can go back today?"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Rufeng looked at the sunlight in the gaps in the leaves and asked calmly.
"The third-level personnel are promoted to the second-level outer city personnel. With our team, the promotion ceremony will be held at six o'clock in the evening at the South Square of the Trade Market!" Little Adong got out of the car and said excitedly.
"What?"
Zhang Rufeng suddenly stood up and sat up, then jumped out of the car and quickly walked into the car.
Picked up the radio headset...
A few minutes later, he walked out with a rosy complexion, as if he had taken some tonic medicine.
"Brothers, let me tell you some good news!"
.......
...
Zhong Chuchu used the radio station to contact everyone in Oil City.
It took her more than an hour to notify all the people who had been promoted. Except for those who were still at the headquarters base, everyone else was able to arrive at the trading market in the evening.
As time goes by, the promotion ceremony stage in the southern square of the trading market is gradually completed.
And the news about the promotion of Level 3 personnel has slowly spread to more people's ears.
Half past four in the afternoon.
Dongfeng, who came back after a long journey, immediately contacted Lao Luo.
"Director Luo, what is on this vehicle are mainly anti-aircraft melee guns and disassembled parts of the main gun. Each part has been marked for assembly. The weapons expert reminds not to tamper with it for the time being. The subsequent assembly must be based on these marks.
Assemble.
There are also some wires and cables that were removed from the destroyer and can still be used..."
Dongfeng reported to Lao Luo the items transported on this trip.
"Well, okay."
Lao Luo looked at the convoy behind him. The huge close-in defense gun barrel on the vehicle was longer than a truck.
Looking at the person in charge of the material management office of the trading market:
"Liu Long, take out a separate warehouse to store these things. After the weapons experts come back from Tongshi, let them guide the assembly."
The close-range defense cannons here can still be used. When the time comes, they will be assembled and used as city defense cannons, which will be amazingly powerful.
However, this close-range anti-cannon shell consumes a lot of money. Once it is turned on, the shell consumption is like water.
Liu Long looked quite strong, nodded and said:
"Okay, Captain Dongfeng, please drive the car to the southern transportation and storage area."
Under the watchful eye of Lao Luo, Dongfeng and Liu Long led the convoy from outside the oil city gate to the southern area of the trading market.
The space in the oil city is limited, and a large amount of food and ammunition are stored there.
Therefore, these things can only be temporarily placed in the storage area of the southern area of the trading market.
The main functions of the southern area of the trading market are transportation and warehousing.
When the survivors entered the city, the dangerous items, firearms, ammunition, cold weapons, etc. that were handed over were all stored here.
Since a large number of firearms, cold weapons and other items are sealed, there are guards watching here 24 hours a day.
The convoy passed through the trading market, and the survivors passing by were amazed when they saw the huge close-in defense cannon on the semi-trailer.
"Holy crap, where did they get it? Such a big barrel!"
"The destroyer close-in defense gun 1130, the rate of fire is amazing! It looks like it was dismantled from a destroyer."
"It's too strong, but can the things on this destroyer be disassembled and used?"
"Can."
"Awesome, it's better to stay in the trading market for safety..."
.....
Some cables and wires were covered by raincloths, but the main components of the close-in defense gun were too huge, so the gun barrel was inevitably exposed.
The survivors in the trading market were gathered in small groups, pointing at the convoy, and exclaimed from time to time.
Four fifty in the evening.
Zhang Rufeng, He Feng and others returned from performing missions outside.
"Brother Wen, I'll unload these lumber over there." Zhang Rufeng pointed to an open space on the right and said to Wen Biao.
Wen Biao is the person in charge of the wood products factory, and all the wooden furniture in the trading market is made from this factory.
Seeing Zhang Rufeng, Wen Biao teased:
"I heard that your group will be promoted to outer city personnel. Congratulations."
Zhang Rufeng scratched his head and said with a smile:
"This is all thanks to you, Brother Wen."
"Hey... don't push me. Your promotion to level 2 outer city personnel has nothing to do with me. It's all the minister's decision." Wen Biao waved his hand quickly and said.
Although he said so, he was actually one of the people who assessed Zhang Rufeng.
He filled in his comments and ratings about Zhang Rufeng.
These days, because Zhang Rufeng is responsible for logging out and he is the person in charge of the wood products factory, he has more communication with Zhang Rufeng.
I found that Zhang Rufeng was quite reliable. He was able to transport the wood on time every day and never missed the order.
Although he is usually smooth-tongued, after getting along with him, I discovered that his recognition of the Da Zhangshu Base is a bit ridiculous.
What he didn't know was that Zhang Rufeng's family was destroyed by the Western Alliance, and Da Zhangshu destroyed the Western Alliance, which was equivalent to avenging his family's revenge invisibly.
Because in an hour, Zhang Rufeng and the others will participate in the promotion ceremony.
Therefore, Wenlong specially asked people to help them unload the wood from the car.
The wood that originally took half an hour to unload was unloaded in ten minutes with the help of Wen Biao and others.
"Brother Wen, thank you." Zhang Rufeng jumped off the forklift and said to Wen Biao.
Wen Biao smiled and said: "It's a small matter, go take a shower quickly. The promotion ceremony will be held in an hour. It's not good for you to run there with a smelly sweat."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay."
Zhang Rufeng shouted and led his men towards Oil City.
When they arrived at the accommodation building in Oil City, Zhang Rufeng took the soapy towels issued to them and carried a washbasin to the shower room.
It hasn't rained for three consecutive months recently, and there are restrictions on their water use.
According to the treatment of non-staff personnel, they were originally able to take showers eight times a month.
Now I can only take four baths a month.
This means you can only wash it once a week.
If it continues to not rain, the frequency may drop to even lower levels.
Once they reach Level 2 Outer City Personnel, they can return to bathing as often as before.
Arriving at the shower room, Zhang Rufeng took off his sweaty clothes, turned on the shower head, and wet his body.
Scrub the whole body with soap, and then rub the sweat and dirt on the body vigorously with a towel.
The temperature outside was above thirty-five degrees, and they were wearing the uniforms of the Civil Armed Forces Department, which made them feel a little stuffy.
After scrubbing, he turned on the nozzle and let the water wash his body from head to toe.
After two minutes, the water from the sprinkler stopped.
There is a lack of water now, so the nozzle can only spray water for three minutes. It must be washed within three minutes. If it is not washed, there is nothing you can do.
For men like them, three minutes is enough.
I walked out with wet hair, used a hair dryer to dry my hair, and put on a set of clean clothes.
After taking a shower, my whole body feels refreshed and I feel much more relaxed.
Zhang Rufeng was originally a bit handsome, but after taking a bath, he was in good spirits.
The time came to five-thirty, and the sun was setting.
The temperature has also dropped a lot.
Zhang Rufeng came to the South District Square with light steps as the gentle wind blew.
At this time, the South District Square was already full of people.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the radio broadcast the news about the promotion of third-level personnel, and many survivors in the trading market heard it.
Some people who had left work at the construction site came here to join in the fun.
Some are survivors who came back from searching for supplies from outside.
"The third-level personnel are promoted. After promotion, won't they become second-level personnel?"
"Tsk, tsk, it's really amazing. I heard that there are quite a few people promoted this time!"
"Envy, that's all I can say."
.......
Listening to the envious exclamations from around him, Zhang Rufeng squeezed into the front of the ceremony stage.
There are no seats or stools here, everyone is standing.
After arriving at the front, Zhang Rufeng saw some familiar faces.
"Dongfeng! Oh, when did you come back?"
"I just came back at four o'clock in the afternoon." Dongfeng replied calmly.
"Is everything over in Tongshi over?" Zhang Rufeng asked curiously.
Dongfang shook his head, "No, I have to go there tomorrow. There are too many things to transport in one trip."
Zhang Rufeng was about to speak when he glanced over and saw the imperial concubine chatting with Zhong Chuchu over there.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rufeng waved vigorously.
The imperial concubine heard someone calling her, raised her head and saw that it was Zhang Rufeng, and nodded slightly in response.
She was not very familiar with this Zhang Rufeng. Although they met often when they were at the headquarters base, they hardly chatted with each other.
But Zhang Rufeng took the initiative to greet her, so it would be inappropriate not to respond.
Around Zhong Chuchu, Guifei, Jiu Ge, Shen Xiaoxiao and others gathered together. They were all rescued by Li Yu and others from the motorcycle gang.
Only Dai Jiusheng stood there quietly, and he didn't like to talk much either.
He personally doesn't like this kind of crowded scene.
Zhang Rufeng ran around the venue and greeted all the promoted personnel.
Some people responded enthusiastically, while others responded coldly.
Five fifty.
There were huge crowds of people around the venue.
Zhong Chuchu had no time to chat with the concubine and the others, and she and Lao Huang were busy maintaining order at the venue.
At this time, several cars drove out of the oil city.
The crowd of survivors quickly moved out of the way.
"A big leader is coming."
"I wonder who the big leader is? The biggest leader in the trading market now seems to be Director Luo, right?"
"What, Minister Li."
"No, I remember it was City Lord Li, but I haven't seen City Lord Li for a long time. I don't know if City Lord Li is still in Oil City."
"For such a big thing, City Lord Li should show up."
.....
The Southern Paradise staff who had surrendered, Chen Er, Wu Li, Wu Xing, Zhang Tianfu and others looked at the imperial concubine and others in front of them in the crowd.
Unlike Wu Li and others, Chen Er's eyes were always focused on the imperial concubine.
He likes the imperial concubine.
But the falling flowers deliberately follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no love for falling flowers.
He had expressed his love for the imperial concubine before when she was in Oil City.
But the imperial concubine ignored him at all. Later, the imperial concubine went to the north and there was no contact with him again.
He also gave up the idea.
And with the imperial concubine joining the transportation brigade, he was happy for a long time when he returned to Oil City from the north last time.
But now...
The imperial concubine is about to be promoted to level 2 personnel, while he is only a level 3 personnel.
The gap in status made him somewhat autistic.
In the entire Da Zhangshu base, people of different levels are completely free to fall in love.
For example, Zhou Weiguo, who was a staff member in the inner city, was together with Shen Xiaoxiao, who was just a non-staff member.
Including in the current trading market, some level 2 personnel are looking for partners among level 3 non-staff personnel or level 4 personnel, and it is easy to find them.
Therefore, most of the reasons for the Level 2 personnel who were unwilling to return to the headquarters base last time were because they found their partners in Oil City and the trading market.
Chen Er looked at the smiling concubine in front of her, and secretly made up his mind, I must become a Level 2 personnel, stand at the same level as you, and chase you again in an upright and upright manner!
But what he didn't know was that this pursuit was meaningless.
Crunch——
Several cars parked next to the ceremony stage.
The first person to get off the car was Luo Sanchang, director of the Operations Department.
Then there is Ju Tianrui, director of the Civil and Military Affairs Department.
The last person to come out was the biggest leader in Oil City, the absolute powerful figure in Da Zhangshu Base, Li Hongqian, the Minister of Military Department of Da Zhangshu Base!
The third uncle got out of the car with a smile on his face. Today is a good day.
The development speed of the Oil City and Trading Market is astonishing. Unlike the conservative development of the headquarters base, a liberalized market economy has been adopted here.
In addition, Oil City itself is in the Central Plains region, and there is a large population of survivors around it.
The huge population drives the rapid development of the trading market.
"Minister Li is out! Stop talking!" Dongfeng said to Tietou and others behind him.
"Quiet!" Zhang Rufeng also signaled to Zhou Zhisheng and others.
The noise in the whole place gradually became quieter after the third uncle came out.
Until finally it became quiet.
The third uncle was followed by Lao Luo and Ju Tianrui.
The three of them are the current senior leaders of Oil City.
Seeing Minister Li coming, Zhong Chuchu quickly walked over and handed the speech he had written to his third uncle.
The third uncle smiled and took it over. He had read it before, but he felt it was not suitable, so he asked Zhong Chuchu to modify it.
He didn't have time to read the revised copy.
The third uncle, Lao Luo, and Ju Tianrui came to the front of the ceremony stage.
The ceremony stage was even laid out with a red carpet and seven or eight lights arranged around it, just like daylight.
The whole scene is a bit like the opening ceremony of a film festival,
The doomsday version of the opening ceremony of the film festival focuses on the rough style.
The third uncle stood behind a podium made of an oil drum with a microphone placed on it.
There is also a piece of paper stuck on the surface of the oil drum: Lecture Platform.
“Hey, hey, hey—”
The third uncle stood behind the podium, patted the speaker, and tested the microphone.
His voice echoed throughout the trading market, and the microphone connected the entire trading market's broadcast.
It can be heard not only in the venue, but also in the dormitory building and even the North District Prison.
After testing the microphone, the third uncle looked to the right where Dongfeng, Dai Jiusheng and other personnel who were about to be promoted were standing in a row.
He opened the speech script in his hand and glanced up and down, but still felt it was too wordy.
So I put the speech on the podium.
"Our Oil City was founded four years ago with the goal of creating a safe haven to provide shelter for survivors."
"Along the way, our oil city has grown to such a scale step by step, building tall walls and trading bazaars. In the process, countless people have worked hard for it."
"Some people died on the wall in order to resist the zombies, some people exposed their bodies in the wilderness in search of supplies, and some people died while fighting the enemy..."
"Half a year ago, thunderstorms and natural disasters broke out. We survived. We survived natural disasters again and again. We have remained strong in the face of various setbacks and hardships."
"Everyone's efforts are rewarded, and there is a central point in Oil City: the more people contribute, the more they get!"
"The people on my right have contributed points that meet the standard. After passing the assessment, they have decided to be promoted. From now on, they will be Level 2 personnel in our Oil City and enjoy the benefits of Level 2 personnel!"
"Congratulations to them!"
The words just fell.
Bang bang bang!
Zhang Rufeng was the first to applaud, and others responded soon after.
