After struggling for five years in the apocalypse, the ruthless survivor Mu Jiu was ultimately betrayed and killed by her own people. When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn—one month...
Chapter 67 Who would work if they have money and free time?
The military sealed off the entire resort before dusk, and no ordinary people were allowed to enter, regardless of whether everyone had moved in or not.
Mu Jiu and his companions had already packed up the things they needed to move early in the morning and sent them to the resettlement house at the base.
At this moment, he was standing in the parking lot in front of the government affairs hall with the Gu brothers and sisters, guarding their respective vehicles, waiting for the points redemption assessor to help them weigh and redeem the fire points.
After more than half a year, the brother and sister had accumulated a total of 35,000 kilograms of frozen fish.
According to the base's setting of 10 points per pound of frozen fish, the two of them can redeem 350,000 points for this item alone.
The brother and sister each got half, 175,000 points each, and immediately upgraded their C-level Fire Card to a B-level Fire Card.
This is definitely enough for the brother and sister to lie down and eat for several years.
As for other supplies, they moved them back to the resettlement house and used them slowly.
Having a Class B Fire Card means being eligible to apply for a public service position within the base.
For example, salespersons, stock clerks, greeters, deliverymen, doormen, cleaners, etc. in a commercial company.
Those who do these jobs in the base can get corresponding wages every month, ranging from 100-1000 points, which will definitely be a problem for them to have food and clothing.
The original C-level fire card can only do hard labor in the base.
For example, going to the Phase II base to open up the housing construction project to move bricks, mix cement, etc.
In order to conceal the existence of the space, Mu Jiu also took out 12,000 kilograms of frozen fish to exchange for points, and also upgraded it to a Class B fire card.
However, the mother and daughter of the Lou family do not have enough supplies yet to collect the full 100,000 for the upgrade.
On the way back from the government hall, the brother and sister had already started discussing what kind of job would be more cost-effective to apply for.
"Sister, what are your plans for the future?" Gu Yang asked. He wanted to work with his sister.
Mu Jiu shook her head. There was enough food in her space for her to spend, so she didn't have to worry about food at all.
There were enough jobs before the end of the world. Who would want to be a social animal when they have money and free time?
She was even more reluctant to get involved in the muddy waters of the base. The competition in the workplace was fierce enough before the apocalypse, not to mention the apocalypse when people were short of food and clothing, and there were even more intrigues.
But it’s different for the Gu brothers and sisters. If they want to live a good life in the base, it’s better to have a job than to have no job.
"I used to live in the resort with my nerves tense and fearful every day. Now I finally have a few days to relax. I want to rest for a while.
If you two want to apply for the job, I suggest you ask the security guard at the resettlement building in the South District.
Look at how comfortable the guys in our building are living. If we send some supplies to them, maybe we can transfer you to live downstairs.
Go downstairs to work every day and earn points easily, what a bargain!" Mu Jiu suggested sincerely.
The Gu brothers and sisters were obedient and went to the government affairs hall in the afternoon with great vigor and determination.
After stuffing two cans of beef into the guy’s pocket, the brother and sister were assigned to work as security guards at Building 66 in the South District. That was it!
This was what Mu Jiu brought back from the gang’s factory to share the spoils. The two of them had been keeping it and were reluctant to eat it, and now it came in handy.
After all, beef was not a cheap thing even before the end of the world.
Building 66 originally had only one security guard, an old man, but now there are two more of them, and they work in three shifts 24 hours a day.
The old man’s workload has been reduced a lot, but his salary has not decreased!
You can get 400 points every month.
All you need to do is to do a good job of management within the building, allow everyone to swipe their cards to open the water, electricity and heating, and cooperate with the police on duty to maintain order in the building.
In short, there is not much to worry about. It is exactly the kind of job that everyone is looking forward to before the end of the world: high pay, little work, and close to home!
When the brother and sister brought back the good news, Mu Jiu was carefully decorating the room where she lived.
The heating has been on for three days, and the temperature in the small room has reached about 10 degrees.
Based on my experience in my previous life, the temperature will probably be like this, it won’t go up nor down.
But this was not comfortable enough for Mu Jiu, and he even felt a little cold when sleeping at night.
So Mu Jiu simply installed the mobile fireplace that was originally installed in the villa room in the middle of the room.
She used a drill to drill a hole in the outer wall and extended a chimney pipe out.
Anyway, she had millions of tons of logs and charcoal stored in her space, and she could never use them all up.
Once the fire was lit in the fireplace, the temperature in the room rose noticeably.
Mu Jiu took out a sweet corn cob and two big sweet potatoes from the space farm, placed them on the fireplace, boiled a pot of water, added a few dried flowers, and had them as afternoon tea later.
Then Mu Jiu took out a large cashmere carpet from the space and spread it from one end of the room to the other, leaving the extra part rolled up to the wall.
The area of the entire resettlement house is not large. Mu Jiu took out a two-meter-wide bed from the space and placed it against the wall.
Put on the soft short plush four-piece bedding.
Then take out a set of single table and chairs and place them on the side of the fireplace for convenient dining, and the house is ready.
In fact, Mu Jiu only needs to solve the problem of sleeping here, and everything else can be solved in the space.
From the second day after moving in, the Gu siblings started working downstairs, while the Lou mother and daughter started a business in a different way.
The last time they heard from the lady in the service hall that fresh fruits and vegetables could be sold to rich people at high prices, the mother and daughter started planning.
Maybe they could do something with the crops they brought from the villa's sunroom.
With their current status as C-level fire cards, they had no choice but to go to the construction site and move bricks and do heavy work.
The key is that the salary is very low, ranging from about 10-100, which is a world of difference compared to a B-level security guard.
In addition, they are two women, and they are not as strong as men, so they have no advantages at work at all.
So they discussed it and decided to give up working and concentrate on growing various vegetables and fruits at home.
Then, through that young lady, I can resell the ripe fruits and exchange them for points. This is definitely better than moving bricks!
After all, a strawberry can be sold at a sky-high price of 100 points, which is equivalent to a month's salary for moving bricks. This is a business opportunity.
The supplies that Mu Jiu distributed to everyone were enough for the mother and daughter to eat for a year or two, so they were not in a hurry.
Lou Nan quickly planted the first batch of seeds in the resettlement house, and the mother and daughter took good care of them together.
Mu Jiu was completely laid back. Except for sleeping in the resettlement house at night, she spent most of her daytime time in the space farm, riding horses and fighting cocks.
After a year and a half of continuous production and reproduction, the number of livestock that Mu Jiu originally bought from various countries for free has increased several times.
There are more than 5 million free-range chickens alone, and millions of eggs are laid every day...
The goats and sheep combined number over a million.
Looking down from above, the white cotton balls can be connected into a large area, which can be said to be very tiring for the dogs...
In order to keep the farm reasonably stocked, the housekeeper Beibei has slaughtered several batches of adult livestock.
He also packed their skins, meat and internal organs and helped Mu Jiu store them in an infinite fresh-keeping warehouse so that they could be used at any time.
Various crops planted on the farm, such as rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, etc., have been harvested several times.
For rice alone, according to the report from Beibei Butler, the storage capacity of the space warehouse has exceeded 20 million tons.
The various vegetables and fruit trees planted on the farm, and the harvested fruits have piled up in the space warehouse.
There are so many aquatic products raised on the farm that they are about to overflow...
So Mu Jiu has been thinking recently whether he should take out some supplies and donate them to the official base to give back to the motherland.
But this is a relatively risky thing, as it may expose her space.
She was unwilling to put herself in danger and be locked up in the official laboratory of the base to be studied just because of a moment of weakness...
This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
