Apocalypse Train

At the end of May, a four-to-five-day continuous heavy rain swept across the world. After receiving notification from the village committee, Jiang Qian's family evacuated with the main group, b...

[However, will money still be circulated in the future? Will it still have value?]

The flour yield of wheat is around 70%. A single machine harvester can harvest 50 to 100 mu (approximately 1,000 to 2,000 acres) a day. Even at the lowest rate, that's nearly 1,000 kilograms (approximately 1,000 jin) of flour a day. That's a lot, enough to feed a family for a year.

I heard that the harvest period is only a few days, so some people immediately lined up behind the registration queue.

While others were discussing, Zhang Chongguang and his team walked around the train with video equipment.

The more they looked at it, the more they couldn't help but marvel at it. Although the appearance of this train was similar to the existing trains in their country, the interior was very different.

They have not forgotten the scene of the train falling from the sky that they just saw. It was really shocking!

The Jiang family members who were still in the car naturally saw the people outside the car.

Jiang Dong looked at the camera outside facing them and subconsciously lowered his head to hide. After he came to his senses, he remembered that the glass was one-way and the other party could not see inside.

"What's going on? Has the rescue team taken over this place?"

Jiang Qian: "Even if he hasn't come yet, he will probably come soon!"

It was impossible for this unique car not to attract attention, and it was only a matter of time before people noticed it.

She sighed and said, "I guess the main force will arrive in a few days."

Watching Zhang Chongguang set up a small camera and bury it in the ground beside the car, with the lens facing the door and body, Jiang Qian had to remind her family, "From today on, we probably won't be able to get out of the car for a moment."

The fact was just as Jiang Qian said. After a while, although everyone left, the cameras left behind were still working.

Fortunately, the Jiang family was used to living in the car. The car had everything they needed, and apart from feeling a bit suffocated in the car all the time, they didn't worry about not being able to get out.

Zhang Chongguang, who was taking a car back to Xiaozhao Village, immediately packaged the car's video and everything he had learned about the car in Xiaozhao Village into a file and sent it to the rescue command center in City A via the satellite network.

Putting aside how they stayed up all night to hold meetings to study the information received, the next morning, Zhang Chongguang, captain of the exploration vanguard team, got on the car with two teammates and passengers returning to City B to experience firsthand the feeling of the car flying in the sky.

He filmed everything that happened inside the car since he got on, and when he came back in the afternoon, he also sent back the round-trip video.

After the news that Xiaozhao Village was recruiting people and providing food spread, many people in City B wanted to seize this opportunity to work there.

When they heard that there was a rescue team there, they felt even more secure, and a lot more people took the bus to Zhao Wen to sign up.

This wave of migrant workers lasted for three or four days until everyone who wanted to go to the train station had left, and then it finally subsided.

Because of this incident, although the number of people riding on the bus these days is not as overloaded as before, the occupancy rate is still astonishing. From the back and forth trips, plus the vending machines in the bus, Jiang Qian earned a lot of crystal cores, and even had to ask the system to restock the vending machine in the middle.

Just as Jiang Qian was counting the crystal cores and feeling secretly happy, more than a thousand unexpected visitors came to Xiaozhao Village.

City A was overjoyed after receiving Zhang Chongguang's news. After a meeting, they immediately reported the situation. Coincidentally, City B also reported the situation, and both reports attracted great attention from the higher authorities.

It just so happened that the rescue team sent to City A for disaster relief during the heavy rain was still there, so the higher-ups sent this group of rescue team members directly here.

Of course, there were not only rescue teams coming, but also three or four hundred ordinary people who had been rescued before were sent here.

These people lost their homes, but the resettlement site in City A was already full and could not accommodate so many people, let alone provide more people with the necessary supplies for survival.

So, after discussing with these people, some of them were willing to follow the rescue team here and build their new homes with their own hands.

According to the development plan of City A, they plan to clear out all the villages near the airport and build City A's future survivor base with the location of the train as the center.

It is obvious that these tasks cannot be done by the rescue team alone, so it is necessary to relocate some of the people here.

Of course, in addition to people from City A, people also came from City B.

The day after the citizens of City B learned that a large number of people had arrived from City A, trucks also appeared on the roads south of City B.

The rescue team members, wearing uniforms of indistinguishable colors, some sat in the car, some lay on the roof, killing zombies all the way to the train station, and then protected the area near the train station by setting up obstacles at major intersections.

Residents living near the train station were overjoyed and moved to tears when they saw the rescue team members guarding various intersections. A sense of security suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.

So, shortly after the rescue team arrived, short videos and photos began to circulate on the Internet.

【Look, this is the intersection near my home. 】

【Here they come, the rescue team is finally here! 】

"I told you, the higher-ups won't give up on us."

[Now, gunshots are heard from time to time downstairs, but I don’t feel scared at all. I just feel at ease. What a reassuring sound!]

[I always thought about buying a house in the new district, but now I think the houses in the old district are better.]

[A rescue team actually showed up! My old house was there, but unfortunately I sold it two years ago to buy this one! I should have stayed put and paid off the mortgage for a few more years!]

My family did own a house near the train station, but the property prices there were so low that we didn't sell it. However, the old house was in the southwest, and my current home is in the east part of the city, a school district I bought for my children. Getting there requires crossing the entire city. So sad!

"Brother, if you're not going to live there, could you sell me your house? Or rent it to me? Money, gold, or even supplies are fine. We can discuss anything you want. I can send the items to your house by drone, and you can inspect them later."

[I can also give gold, and we can discuss anything you want. Brothers in front can also consider me! ]

[The person in front is really rich! ]

Forget gold! My family doesn't even have any cash right now. We usually pay with our phones and online banking. Who would even think of carrying cash? I don't know how I'd pay if my phone lost signal one day!

Who isn't? The only cash in my house is the 378 yuan lucky money my son secretly hid last year.

[However, will money still be circulated in the future? Will it still have value?]

How's school going right now? I heard some of the seniors there are living on campus because the college entrance exam is coming up, and they're not having a day off even with the heavy rain.

[Is this true? Wasn't the whole city closed for the holiday because of the heavy rain? My baby is at home!]

Of course it's true. Your child is probably in elementary or middle school, but some high school students who already live on campus are still in school and haven't had any holidays. It's a key high school, and some students were admitted from lower-level counties and towns. Whether their families have houses in the city, or even if they have houses, their homes are far from the school, they all end up living on campus.

[The child downstairs from me is like this. Both parents and child wanted more time to study and thought traveling back and forth between home and school was too much trouble. Now they regret it. On the first day of the incident, the two went to the school to look for the child, and he hasn't returned yet...]

[My neighbor's child in my hometown is also in his third year of high school and lives on campus. There's no news from him at all.]

【Didn’t the child have a cell phone? 】

Where are cell phones allowed in high school? If the teacher finds them, they'll be confiscated. My child just started freshman year, and the teacher has confiscated three of their phones. One of them was confiscated by the head teacher during dormitory inspections.

[It's probably a bad omen. The incident happened in the middle of the night, when the students were all asleep in the dormitories. Even if they weren't asleep, and the dormitory doors were locked, who could have gotten out?]

Can't I break the window?

[The first, second, and third floors have security bars, but the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are too high. Anyway, I live near the school, and I haven't seen many people in the school these past few days.]

"Let's not talk about this. School's dangerous, and so are we at home. Could the rescue team expand their protection area? My house is only two blocks away from where they've set up the roadblocks."

[My home is also within the protected area, but my sister's home is within the protected area. I am discussing with my family whether I should move in with my sister.]

[Good idea. If it's not far away, you can go to your relatives' house!]

"It's fine to live with your sister, but will your brother-in-law and his family be happy with it for a long time? Even if your brother-in-law is happy, what about your brother-in-law's parents-in-law?"

"What's there to be unhappy about in a life-or-death situation? If my mother-in-law and brother-in-law were to come, I would welcome them with open arms. They're real relatives."

My sister and brother-in-law each paid half for this wedding house when they got married. My brother-in-law's parents live there to help take care of the kids. I think it wouldn't be inappropriate for my parents to live there for a while, right?

[Don’t even mention paying money. Even if you don’t pay, it’s still reasonable for my daughter-in-law to live with her parents!]

Unfortunately, I don’t have any relatives there.

"Why not just find an empty room and move in? A lot of people must have died there before, so there must be a few empty rooms."

【It’s not good to occupy someone else’s house, right? 】

[You're still considering this at this point? Then why don't those people who smashed the windows of the supermarket downstairs to get in and "buy for free" consider that this is also illegal appropriation of other people's property!]

[However, I still hope to expand the scope of the safe zone a little bit. ]

[The rescue team is here, they should be here soon! ]

【But it seems that there aren't that many people coming now! 】

[…We’ll probably send more people later!]

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and Zhao Zhenyu also learned about it through his secretary's report.

Ever since the last report, he has been waiting for someone to be sent over, and fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.

Now that the higher-ups have sent people to take over the train station, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief with help.

There are not many rescue team members this time. They were temporarily transferred from the disaster relief teams in other nearby cities. It is estimated that more people will be dispatched later.

Zhao Zhenyu looked at his right-hand man beside him and smiled for the first time since the incident.

"Thank you for your hard work last time we went to City A!"

The young man with glasses shook his head and said, "It's not that hard. Compared to the members of the rescue team, what I do is much simpler!"

Zhao Zhenyu was very satisfied with his attitude, but he didn't say much. "Send a report on the current situation in the city to the leader of the rescue team over there. Try to be as detailed as possible."

"yes."
