6880 Contribution Points
Since this is a villa area, the greening is well done and there are not many tall buildings.
So apart from some sculptures and walls, the rest are just branches, trunks and roots, piled up in a disorderly manner on the open space, creating a desolate scene.
Jiang Miao pulled out a cart of red bricks from the space, and then picked and chose on the original wall, and was able to pick up half of the good bricks.
Finally, lime is taken out and mixed into cement, and the bricklayer officially starts work.
Jiang Miaomo also learned a few tricks about wall construction from the construction workers, such as plastering and brick laying, how to lay the foundation, how to keep two bricks flat, making the wall more solid and strong, etc.
It’s not that powerful, but at least this kind of strength is no problem for her now.
Jiang Miao worked hard all day and achieved some success. He built the wall in the direction of the main entrance of the villa, blocking most of the view.
She looked at the surroundings and made sure that there was no one around, so she took advantage of the easy-to-move nature of the space and piled all kinds of construction debris, dust and tree roots she had collected in the community around her small bungalow, which could barely provide cover.
After all, there are solid walls built on all sides, which makes it easy to attract bad people.
After cleaning the wall, Jiang Miao used a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust that had settled in the house, then opened the door and walked into the basement. He took a quick shower, sat on the bed and started to eat dinner.
The base will not be open for at least half a year. The municipal government has suffered heavy losses and is unable to take care of itself, and it still has to maintain the base.
During this period, the social environment in Ancheng could be described as completely disordered.
After there are no law enforcers, everyone becomes a law enforcer. It is the darkest and most struggling period of the entire doomsday, and the evil of human nature is magnified to the extreme.
In his previous life, Jiang Miao was trapped in the ruins of a collapsed building for five days, and could only survive on the meager supplies he collected in the space at the end of the world.
Now that she had food, drink, warmth and safety, she took a sip of Zhizhi Taotao fruit tea, took out her computer and used CAD to continue outlining the radiation-proof basement where she would stay for at least a year.
"Hmm." After a week, the sleeping immortal finally woke up, lying on the sofa in a bad state, with his long hair hanging on the ground along the smooth fabric of his clothes, forming a beautiful arc.
"How many days have I slept?" Su Heng felt that his soul and sea of consciousness were much more relaxed, as if the suppression of the world rules on him after the earthquake had been reduced.
"Eight days." Jiang Miao finished her milk tea and picked up the hair that fell on the ground as she passed by him and placed it neatly behind him.
Su Heng turned his head to look at her back: "It seems that she didn't stay unconscious for too long this time."
"Comparatively speaking, it is." She paused tapping on the computer.
The Immortal King actually took the initiative to ask himself how many days he had been comatose. This was the first time in more than two years. The Immortal King used to not care about the passage of time at all.
"What are you doing? What is this?" Su Heng stood up and changed direction to lie down facing Jiang Miao without letting his hair fall.
"This is a computer. I'm making a three-dimensional construction drawing." Jiang Miao looked at Su Heng and thought about going to the base later.
"Su Heng, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be living in the base in half a year. There will be guards and patrols there, and the management is strict and there is access control. If you want to go with me, there may be many inconveniences that you need to overcome."
"for example?"
"For example, the way you dress is too eye-catching now." It will definitely attract the attention of the authorities.
"Hmm." Su Heng tilted his head slightly: "It's okay, I can use invisibility."
"..." Jiang Miao's mouth twitched and he put away his useless worries, forgetting that this guy was a cheater.
Jiang Miao was quietly drawing on the computer. Su Heng lay on the sofa for a while and then closed his eyes again.
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when she finished the module in her hand, so she stopped revising it, saved it in a hurry, picked up the Immortal King and put him on the big bed, and then lay down on the camp bed herself.
Xianjun has been liking to curl up on the sofa more and more recently. If he really likes to sleep on the sofa, just move the sofa to his corner to prevent him from moving around.
The next day, Jiang Miao took out the broken glass he had collected before, and imitated D's style to build a wall of distinct glass spikes under the villa, and then covered it with black plastic cloth that looked like a greenhouse.
The glass spikes are so sharp that anyone who dares to jump into the wall will at least be injured if he doesn't die.
Then she welded a piece of steel plate into the space to make it easier for her to climb over the wall and enter and exit.
You can put it wherever you want, it’s not fixed.
After solving the security problem, something should be placed on the first floor of the villa to confuse intruders.
Jiang Miao took out the old rice that had been soaked in water and dried during the flood, the furniture that was damaged during the earthquake, and some useless materials that he had collected, and set up a simple settlement.
The entrance to the basement is right under the bed, making it convenient and discreet for traveling.
It was already noon when he finished fiddling with all these. Jiang Miao ate hurriedly and put on a hood and mask, wanting to go outside to see what was going on.
Now that the satellite network is down and pagers are no longer effective, the municipal government can only use loudspeakers to convey information. If you want to understand the current situation, you can't just stay at home.
The hood Jiang Miao wore today was that of a Mediterranean old man. Last time, the little bald man's head was scratched by the bullet and left burn marks. The features became too obvious, so Jiang Miao thought about not using it for some time.
At least it can no longer be used in Ancheng.
Put up the iron plate and climb over the wall.
Because she now lives in a villa area, there are not too many building debris after the earthquake. When Jiang Miao walked out from here, all she saw was the real devastation and rubble and broken walls.
Even though she had seen such a horrific scene in her previous life, she still couldn't help but shudder when she saw it again.
There was exposed concrete, bared steel bars, dark grey bloodstains, and some bodies with their heads and bodies separated.
Jiang Miao sighed softly, turned his eyes away from the little boy in front of him on the left who was pierced by three steel bars, and walked away quickly.
This place is some distance away from the municipal government center. The uneven ground where you could fall at any time makes you feel like you are playing parkour. Jiang Miao walked attentively for more than an hour and finally reached the government center.
"Hello, comrade!"
The volunteers at the door welcomed every visitor very warmly.
Just like in the previous life, people are power. The municipal government needs manpower to complete post-disaster reconstruction and other production labor. All living people are very valuable production resources.
"Hello."
This is a temporary service point that is very simple. As soon as Jiang Miao walked into the hall of the government service center, volunteers came over to serve with a smile.
"Excuse me, do you want to consult about the base?"
Jiang Miao nodded, coughed twice and said hoarsely: "When can we move in to the base? What are the conditions? And will there be more aftershocks?"
The volunteer patiently answered: "The base will be able to draw the first batch of people in five months, and then draw lots every half a month. According to our current statistics of the post-disaster population, it will take at most seven draws to move everyone in."
"As for the conditions, apart from having to pay enough taxes, basically anyone can enter as long as they are not a wanted person within the police system."
The conditions are much more relaxed than before the earthquake. It seems that there is really a shortage of people.
"What about aftershocks?"
"Well, I can't say for sure. Even the director of our Geological Disaster Bureau can't say for sure. The weather is really weird nowadays. No one can guarantee anything."
The volunteer's answer was very skilled, and it was obvious that he had dealt with more than one person before.
Jiang Miao looked around and found a new contribution point exchange list on the side. It was almost the same as in his previous life. Every 100 grams of rare metals could be exchanged for 80 contribution points.
Every kilogram of oil gives 80 contribution points.
Ten contribution points per kilogram of steel bars.
Cast iron is worth eight contribution points per kilogram.
Five contribution points per kilogram of river sand.
Three contribution points per kilogram of rice and flour.
There were a lot of people gathered under this big wall, all of them came to see the contribution point exchange.
After all, there are a lot of new things added to the list, and it would be great if you could stock up on them before entering the base.
Seeing another person coming in at the door, the volunteer thought that this old man was probably here to look at the list like the others, and was preparing to go and receive other people who came to the government service center to do business.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Miao turned around and grabbed him: "Hey young man, come here, I have something to ask you."
I have to say, the old man looked creepy with a mask on, and it was quite creepy to touch him.
The volunteer's forehead was covered with sweat: "Okay, okay, sir."
The two came to a corner of the government hall. Jiang Miao took something out of his backpack and asked, "Young man, do you smoke?"
The volunteer smiled helplessly: "Hey, I quit a long time ago. How can I afford something as expensive as cigarettes now?"
Jiang Miao took out a pack of soft cigarettes from his backpack and stuffed them into his pocket, whispering, "Our cigarettes are not free. Let me ask you again, what are the conditions for the first batch of people who have been selected to enter the base?"
The volunteer felt a shudder of fear as he touched the cigarette box. To be honest, there were people who wanted to give him something to do their jobs, but most of them were potatoes, rice, noodles, etc., or at most half a bag of sugar!
This guy is just throwing a pack of cigarettes at a time. I've never seen such a move before!
He felt his heart burning as he touched the box, smacking his lips that hadn't smoked for a long time, and he didn't hide anything from the old man: "Although I don't know the exact time, according to the news from the boss of my boss's secretary's ex-boyfriend, as soon as the map of this base is drawn, the selected batch can be circled on the construction drawing."
So privileged?
Jiang Miao looked around and asked quietly, "What are the conditions for this internal appointment?"
If it were anyone else, the volunteers would definitely wave their hands and advise you not to have any unrealistic thoughts, and it would be more practical to just wait patiently for the lottery.
But when he met such a generous old man, he didn't mind wasting his time and energy: "It's not difficult, first of all, they have made great contributions to the base. For example, the Li family provided cables to the base, and the Chen family has a whole excavator fleet. These have internal quotas."
High-rise buildings were damaged. These things are usually not in urban areas, but are placed in the wilderness. As long as they are not hit by a ground crack, they can escape this disaster.
Now that the municipal government has put all its efforts into building the base, it is understandable that we can give them some convenience.
"If we only consider contribution points, how many will it cost?"
"If we only consider contribution points, it may be difficult. It will take at least several thousand, right?"
One hundred grams of rare metals are worth eighty contribution points. There are a total of sixteen barrels. According to the different densities of each rare metal, on average each barrel has at least three hundred and fifty pounds, or one hundred and seventy-five kilograms, and 1,720 contribution points.
The average cost per person is 6880 points.
Logically, this should be enough, but...
"If I want to choose a villa area, are there any additional conditions?"
Villa area?
The volunteer looked up and down at the old man. He was so thin and small that he didn't look like a big shot.
There are only fifty-eight villas in the entire base, which are located in the east of the center of the base, which is planned according to the location of the east of the old city of Ancheng.
More than 20 households have already reserved seats in advance, so the seats are very popular.
"That requires connections, very strong connections, strong financial resources, and outstanding contributions to the base."
Jiang Miao understood and asked, "What's your name? I'll come to the government service center to ask you for help next time."
The volunteer smiled and said, "My name is Yang Dawei, you can just call me Xiao Yang."
Xiao Yang sent the old man away, feeling excited as he held the cigarette box in his hand. He had given a name to each of the twenty cigarettes and had clearly arranged when to smoke them.
Who would have thought that a month later, the deputy director of the Government Affairs Center died suddenly from overwork. He made up his mind to take the remaining 19 cigarettes and went through the back door, successfully taking over the position.
Xiao Yang sat in the deputy director's chair and said, thank you to the old man, thank you to the director for being a heavy smoker.
Jiang Miao came out of the government affairs center, found a ruin, took off his hood, and headed straight for North City.
The city center is now in ruins and even bicycles cannot be ridden. Only when you reach the slightly more open and remote northern suburbs can you see the cracks on the main road running across the middle of the road like lightning streaks.
Wide and deep, like Blue Star's scar.
Riding a bike seemed difficult, but Jiang Miao didn't think about it and just kept moving forward. After seeing the sign of the industrial park, he carefully walked through the wreckage in the ruins and identified the direction to find Su Le's factory.
"Senior!" Su Le limped over, holding on to a wooden stick and skipping over: "It's great that we are all fine and have escaped this disaster!"
Li Chongyu poked his head out of the factory with a bandage on his hand: "Sister Miao, how is the Taoist priest? Is he alive?"
"Alive." Jiang Miao walked to the small warehouse on the first floor. He felt relieved when he saw with his own eyes the sixteen barrels of rare metals safely there.
"How are you guys? How are you injured?"
Su Le was still optimistic: "Hey, I just hurt my leg. The little Taoist priest's arm that was injured last time was injured again. Fang Yang's whole arm and leg were terrified and he's crying."
Fang Yang blushed: "I didn't, I was sad for you two, it's because you saved me..."
"Don't talk about that." Su Le waved his hand nonchalantly: "You are the youngest, so it is our duty to protect you. Besides, you have helped me avoid so many dangers and find so many supplies this year. You are like a mascot, so we must protect you well."
It is extremely rare that a trio of people who met by chance and formed a temporary team can still have such a good relationship after going through the many tests of doomsday.
It has to be said that this has to some extent relieved Jiang Miao's heart knot.
It turns out that it’s not that you can’t trust your friends, but it depends on who the person being trusted is.
Perhaps her heart knot had begun to loosen as early as when she killed Xiao Ming and Wan Xi.
"I have already found out that based on the rare metals we currently have, we can exchange them for 6,880 contribution points at the base."
Li Chongyu counted with his fingers and said excitedly: "It's a lot. If it's replaced with steel bars, it will take more than 2,700 kilograms!"
Jiang Miao: "Now that we are rebuilding after the disaster, the price of steel bars has also increased, with 10 contribution points per kilogram."
Fang Yang did a quick mental calculation: "Ah, then it only takes a little over a thousand kilograms? What is the exchange price of rare metals?"
"One hundred grams, 80 pieces."
"One, one hundred grams? Wait, this value..."
"Yes, each of us has at least 6880 points."
"hiss--"
The three of them looked at each other in surprise. Faced with such straightforward and clear figures, they realized how much the dozen or so sealed oil tanks that Sister Miao had taken them to move were worth!
Sister Miao is awesome!
If it weren’t for Sister Miao, the three of us would have missed out on some amazing treasure!
After recovering from his shock, Li Chongyu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Even if I die, you can't throw this thing away!"
"Don't talk about death, it's bad luck." Su Le rolled his eyes at him. The senior sister came all the way here and her shoes were almost worn out. It must be more than just a simple matter of letting out some air.
"Do you have anything else to tell me, Senior?"
Jiang Miao nodded: "I asked around, the base will be completed in May or June. The sooner we go in, the safer it will be."
"What does sister mean?"
"Maybe I need to take you to meet some old friends, and I need you to act out a scene with me."
The title of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family can sometimes be regarded as a stepping stone. It is understandable to bring some gifts to visit uncles and aunts. As for the price in terms of materials, it can be negotiated as she has no shortage of them.
If Jiang Miao wanted to gain a place in the fifty-eight villa area, threatening to kill would not work at all, so he had to resort to this last resort.
If the problem can be resolved without bloodshed, it would certainly be a good thing.
Su Le immediately said: "I'm familiar with this, no problem!"
Fang Yang was unwilling to fall behind: "I can do it too!"
Of course the last person had no objection, so the matter was temporarily settled.
"Then we'll meet at the entrance of the Government Affairs Center in three days." Jiang Miao made a temporary plan. "The reward is 100 contribution points per person. If you have other requests, you can make them separately."
The three of them nodded in agreement, but by that time they would all be gone, and there would be no one to look after the tens of thousands of contribution points at home. What if they were lost?
"I'll take it to the Municipal Center to exchange it tomorrow, don't worry about it."
But it needs to be pointed out in advance that in order to ensure credibility, these more than 10,000 contribution points need to be temporarily kept in her account.
Of course the three of them trusted Jiang Miao very much and immediately said that there was no problem and that their sister would arrange it.
