Hao Zhiguo looked at Yang Qing. The conditions she proposed were indeed attractive to him.
After the end of the world, disaster relief departments like theirs are the busiest and most tired. They have to arrange resettlement places, rescue supplies, and crack down on thieves and robbers from time to time. They are seriously short of manpower.
Although some people were recruited later, more people died.
We used to recruit a lot of people during the extremely cold period, but they all ran away when the extremely hot weather came.
Now that the temperature has dropped a little, and he heard that there will be another tsunami, he is so busy that he wishes he had three heads and six arms.
Moreover, the resettlement site is not limited to Yunshan, so he needs to assign a lot of manpower to manage it.
These people seem to be really capable. If they can improve the public security in Yunshan, my life will be much easier.
Hao Zhiguo looked at the villa behind the three people and said, "Our official notice was only issued two days ago. You must have lived here for quite some time. How did you know to come here?"
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Leader, it's actually a coincidence. We had no idea about the official decision. If we had known, we probably wouldn't have come. We just found a random place because our previous place had problems."
"This Yunshan property belonged to my husband's former boss. He knew the environment here was good, so we moved here. The house here is big, and it won't bother others. It's more comfortable than living in the city."
"We just did some simple renovations on the house, installed doors and windows, and painted the floor flat, nothing else."
"But finding these materials and transporting them here cost us a lot of money and resources. Is it not too much for us to ask to continue using them?"
Hao Zhiguo picked up the pistol that Leng Yi had just put down from the ground, and the three of them looked at him nervously.
"Put it away!" Hao Zhiguo put the gun back into Leng Yi's hand. "I agree to your conditions, but you must also do what you promised me and take care of this place."
Yang Qing said, "Leader, Yunshan is too big. It's definitely unrealistic to rely on just the three of us. We've gotten a rough idea of the layout of the houses on Yunshan these past few days. It's divided into zones."
"There are Districts One, Two, and Three. We are located in District Three, so we are responsible for the security of District Three."
Hao Zhiguo hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
District Three is the largest district and requires the most people. It would be great to be able to be responsible for one district, which is better than using those small thugs.
Moreover, they themselves said that they did not need food or guns, which saved a lot.
"The others will be transferred here in two days, so make preparations."
"Leader, don't worry!" Yang Qing nodded.
After the deal was done, Hao Zhiguo took his men away.
The three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingqing, we really have to be responsible for the public security here. How can we do that? This place is so big, and there will definitely be a lot of people here in the future. How do we manage it?" Lu Lin asked.
"Let's go inside and talk." Yang Qing waved at the two of them. Leng Yi closed the iron gate. The three of them went into the house and closed the gate of the villa.
"Do you still remember the things I brought from the research institute in my space?" Yang Qing asked.
The two nodded. Although they didn't understand the specific situation, they had seen the things placed in the space.
"At that time, I met a doctoral student at the institute. Her name was Zhang Youyi, and she had a PhD in physics. She said they had predicted this apocalyptic disaster and had sent a secret message to the authorities, but received no response. She didn't know if they had received it or if they believed it."
"But judging by the current situation, the authorities must have received the information and believed it, which is why they moved the people to Yunshan in advance."
Yang Qing paused, thinking about how to explain what she knew in her past life. "Dr. Zhang said that some strange phenomena will appear in the end times. Didn't we see a lot of snakes and super mosquitoes before? This should be one of them. She also mentioned the possibility of centipedes, which may appear in the next few days."
At this point, something flashed through Yang Qing's mind, but it was too fast for her to catch.
"Ah? Centipede?" Lu Lin's hands suddenly covered with goose bumps, and her hair stood on end when she thought of the centipede with so many legs.
"Are centipedes poisonous?" Leng Yi frowned.
"Judging from the snakes and mosquitoes we saw before, centipedes should not be poisonous either. They just carry a lot of germs, but like snakes, they are edible," said Yang Qing.
She remembered that in her previous life, she and Lu Lin had just left Xia City and were attacked by a centipede on the road. They were bitten and covered with wounds. Fortunately, the centipede was not poisonous, otherwise they would have died long ago.
She didn't know why the centipede was non-venomous. Anyway, many things had mutated in the apocalypse. It was possible that poisonous things could become non-venomous, or non-venomous things could become poisonous. They hadn't studied it either.
But although those centipedes are not poisonous, they become very smelly, with the smell of stink bugs, which makes people want to vomit.
So no one ate centipedes at first.
Later, someone was so hungry that he roasted the centipede and ate it. Apart from the smell, it was still edible.
They didn't want to eat it at first. The smell of the stink bug made their stomachs churn and they wanted to vomit. Later, they had no choice but to join others in eating.
Later, the government issued a notice that centipedes could be recycled. They were ground into powder and then mixed with a small amount of flour to make centipede cakes.
This greatly alleviated the food crisis at the time, and the stored centipede cakes also played a role for a long time afterwards.
Yang Qing still remembers the taste. At first, he almost vomited when he ate it. Later, he got used to it. It would be better to say that he became numb to it. If he didn't eat centipede cakes, he would have nothing to eat. He had no choice.
However, I have stockpiled so much food, meat, vegetables and seafood in this life that I never want to eat those stinky centipede cakes again.
Yang Qing continued, "Even for those who have moved to Yunshan, it's impossible for every household to have food. When centipedes appear, we can use the food to buy them back. If everyone has something to do, there will be fewer fights, and public security will be much better, making it easier to control."
Leng Yi nodded, this was indeed a good idea.
"Then why do we collect so many centipedes? I don't want to eat them." Lu Lin pouted.
"Sell it to the government." Yang Qing smiled. "We can sell it to them at a fair price without making any profit. They won't have to spend any effort and will receive a hundred times more grain reserves for free. Why not?"
"Hundreds of times?" Leng Yi raised his eyebrows.
Yang Qing nodded. "When there are a lot of centipedes, a few will make up a pound, so catching them won't be difficult. We can exchange one pound of grain for a hundred pounds of centipedes. Centipedes are arthropods and don't have much meat, but if we dry them out and grind them into powder, they won't lose much weight."
"Adding a little bit of flour as a binder can make 100 kilograms of centipede cakes. The government can use these centipedes to exchange for supplies, which is a huge profit."
"Also, establishing a centipede cake processing factory in the future can provide a large number of jobs. If everyone has something to do, they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, which will be more conducive to stability and unity."
Leng Yi was very surprised. His wife was so capable and thought so far ahead. It was great.
"We'll take action today," Yang Qing said. "We have the supplies to avoid eating centipedes, but we need to take defensive measures to prevent centipedes from entering the house. Centipede bites are still very painful."
Moreover, in her previous life, she had heard that centipedes would crawl into the noses and mouths of sleeping people and suffocate them to death.
It’s chilling to think about it.
