Chapter 133 Pengcheng Base
The next morning, before five o'clock, the sun had already risen.
People who had been hanging out outside for a night came back one after another.
After all, no matter how hot it is at home, they dare not expose themselves directly to the sun.
Han Ying had no idea when the family next door came back.
However, when she was about to go to bed, she received a message from Wu Tingfang.
The message said that she found that the water flow from the faucet was a little smaller.
In the past, it took about 5 hours to fill a bucket of water.
Now it takes more than seven hours to fill a bucket of water, so she asked Han Ying to make sure to store water.
In the evening, when everyone woke up, they found that the authorities had issued several notices.
The content of the notification is basically moving in a good direction.
The first is to recruit workers from nearby communities from now on to start building public toilets in each community, and each person will be given 5-8 contribution points per day.
Building public toilets is a must.
When there is no water to flush the toilet, everyone solves the problem of food recycling by putting it directly into bags or buckets.
People with a sense of civic morality will take it downstairs and throw it away, while those without a sense of civic morality will just throw it off from the balcony.
Anyway, there is no surveillance. You said I threw it. Do you have any evidence?
Therefore, many places in the community are filled with stench, and it is absolutely necessary to build public toilets now.
The second is that the government has already started investing in the construction of farms.
We recruit all people with experience in crop planting, and once hired, each person will receive 5-15 contribution points per day.
The third piece of information is still recruitment information. The original resettlement site of Pengcheng University has been changed to Pengcheng Base.
We are now recruiting people with construction experience, and each person will be given 8-20 contribution points per day depending on the type of work.
The fourth is that from now on, a channel for voluntary exchange of coins for contribution points will be opened.
200 yuan is exchanged for 1 contribution point, and each person can redeem a maximum of 4 million, including a maximum of 2 million in cash and a maximum of 2 million in mobile phone payments or bank deposits.
There is also a price list for purchasing supplies with points attached.
Han Ying took a look and found the price to be reasonable.
One pound of rice is worth 0.5 points, and a 500 ml bottle of mineral water is worth 0.3 points.
The points system has just come out, so the prices are still very cheap.
When official supplies are not sufficient, the price will rise further.
When people saw the news, they started to get angry again.
What does it mean that the authorities have released so many recruitment information in a row and are also investing in building bases?
It shows that this disaster will not be easily overcome, and their dream of returning to normal life may be a long way off.
Knowing that the disaster would not end so easily, some people who could not endure psychologically actually jumped from tall buildings on the spot.
And this is not an isolated case. Similar situations have occurred in many places across the country.
The community next to Han Ying and her family is the one where the entire building was burned down before.
There was a couple inside, who were fully dressed, holding some of their children's clothes, and jumped from the 22nd floor in each other's arms and died.
An insider revealed that the couple's two children died during the toxic fog.
At that time, they had no desire to live anymore.
Now that they know the disaster will continue, they left messages saying they see no hope or motivation to survive and want to go down to be with their two children.
In these last days, it takes courage to seek death, and it takes even more courage to seek survival.
Lei Minghu from next door signed up for the construction of the base. He is an electrician and can repair electrical appliances and even build houses when necessary.
So Lei Minghu was not worried about not being hired.
He has a family to support, so he has to find a way out.
Wu Tingfang signed up for the job of building a public toilet downstairs, but she was worried that they would not want her since she had no experience.
Lu Yuan discussed it with Han Ying and decided to sign up to stay on the farm for a while.
Food is of top priority in the future. If the country develops crops that are suitable for this doomsday, people working on farms will be able to get the news earlier.
He could also accumulate some connections, after all, he was planning to trade cactus with the official.
The working hours are all in the evening, so the application time is naturally also in the evening.
The three of them went to apply for the job the next night, and fortunately all three were hired.
Lei Minghu became an electrician, earning 10 points a day.
Lu Yuan was responsible for teaching ten semi-novices who had only a little planting experience, as well as the daily maintenance of a vegetable garden, earning 10 points a day.
Wu Tingfang helps with the allocation and registration of personnel, as well as the management and collection of tools in the community, earning 6 points a day.
After successfully applying for the job, Lu Yuan found Han Ying in the park.
Tomorrow evening we will start working on the farm.
So tonight, he planned to go out with Han Ying to redeem points.
After finding a deserted place, Lu Yuan took out his gray SUV.
The exchange point is at a bank near the university town.
It’s still a few kilometers away from here, and it’ll take a lot of time to walk there, so we’d better drive there.
They took out 2 million in cash each and put it in the car.
There were quite a lot of people at the exchange point, but many of them were arguing with the staff there, shouting and yelling, and their necks were red from the argument.
Han Ying guessed that they must be rich people with huge savings.
So they bypassed the rich people and went to the window nearby where there were few people.
The cash was carried out of the car in backpacks in several batches.
The staff were not surprised to see so much cash, after all, there were a lot of rich people surrounding outside.
The early contribution points are in the form of cards.
There are tickets worth 100 points, 1 point, and 5 points.
When points bracelets and new mobile phones appear in the future, these will be transferred into them and used as money.
20,000 points means 200 points cards in total.
After getting the points cards, Lu Yuan said that he was penniless except for these points cards.
It seems that he, like Han Ying, only reserved money for exchanging points and spent the rest.
Han Ying has three other ID cards, but she plans to exchange them once a day.
Tomorrow night after Lu Yuan goes to work, she will come over to exchange it herself.
With so many people exchanging their coins every day, the staff would not remember Han Ying, so she was not worried.
....
The whole city seemed to come alive again because of those many jobs.
Many people found jobs and threw themselves into their new work with enthusiasm.
People who are unemployed can go to the distribution point at 12 o'clock every night to get the herbal tea as usual.
Those who have jobs can get two bottles of herbal tea for free every day when they go to work.
It was as if the start button had been pressed in Pengcheng, and it began to operate in an orderly manner again.
But most of those who go out to work are strong laborers and young people.
Those who stay at home are either those who have no skills, or the elderly, the weak, women and children, and of course those who have no shortage of supplies.
And because of the power outage at night, even these people left their homes.
As a result, recently many people in the community went out to enjoy the cool air at night and found that their homes had been ransacked.
