August 31, 8 a.m.
The pitch-black sky enveloped the earth, with no sign of getting brighter.
The sudden drop in temperature last night woke many people up from their sleep, and many people never woke up again.
The survivors of Qilin Villa woke up in the middle of the night and hurriedly searched for their cotton-padded clothes and quilts, wrapped themselves tightly, and then waited for dawn in anxiety.
It finally stopped raining. Although it was snowing heavily outside and the temperature was shockingly low, it was still acceptable to go out now compared to being unable to go out on rainy days.
One month into the last days, many people’s homes have run out of food and water. If they don’t find a way to replenish their supplies, they’ll probably just starve to death.
Besides, it's suddenly so cold now. In addition to warm clothes, it is also necessary to find some firewood to make a fire. Otherwise, if it goes on for a long time, you will either starve to death or freeze to death.
However, as they waited and waited but there was no sign of dawn, many people began to panic. Could it be that it would remain dark forever?
The good news is that the heavy snow that had been falling for seven or eight hours finally stopped.
Some people could not bear the cold so much that they had to dismantle the wooden furniture in their homes, light a fire, and warm their frozen hands and feet.
Once someone started, others followed. It didn’t take long before all the survivors began the most primitive way of making fire to keep warm.
With the warm firelight, the unbearable cold was finally no longer so scary, and the whole community was brighter because of the continuous burning of the fire.
The flickering flames not only bring warmth to people, but also temporarily dispel the haze in people's hearts.
As time went by, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore. He ran out of his house with a homemade torch, rushed out of the community, and began a difficult journey of self-rescue.
At exactly eight o'clock, a dozen snowmobiles suddenly rushed down from the hillside of the villa area. Amid the roar of their engines, they occupied the entrance of the entire community and began to set up antler roadblocks at the location of the collapsed gate.
Then, two off-road vehicles drove to the square in the middle of the community, a high-power amplifier was set up, and voices began to come out of two large speakers: "Good news, good news.
Qilin Villa community has started recruiting workers.
Recruiting a number of strong laborers, whose job content is to clear the snow and ice in the community.
Working hours are 8 hours a day, with one meal provided.
Remuneration: One pound of rice or flour per person per day.
If you are interested and willing to work in three shifts, please hurry up and sign up at the community center square.
The number of places is limited, and enrollment will end on a first-come, first-served basis! ”
"Recruiting workers, recruiting workers.
Now recruiting two chefs.
Requirements: Female, under 45 years old, proficient in essential cooking skills such as frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, boiling and stewing.
Room and board are provided, and the monthly salary is 50 kilograms of rice. "
......
As job recruitment information was released and played on a loop, the entire community was in an uproar.
Today, all the survivors have understood a cruel fact: it is unrealistic to wait for rescue from the country. If everyone wants to survive, they can only find a way to save themselves.
Although the conditions of these job openings are extremely harsh and the remuneration is pitifully low, they still serve as a guiding light for people.
Finally, you don’t have to sit at home and wait for death, or risk unknown dangers to run outside to find supplies that may not even exist. You can earn enough food to survive right at your doorstep.
When they recruit workers, they not only give them a pound of rice, but also provide them with a meal.
If this condition was put before the end of the world, everyone would disdain it, but if it is put into practice now, it is like a Bodhisattva who is able to survive.
As long as you are hired, you can survive on the meals provided, and the rice and flour you earn can be used to feed your family.
Although you may still not be full, it is much better than having nothing to eat!
As a result, many people who had been shivering at home rushed out of their homes and braved the cold to come to the central square, wanting to be the first to get this valuable job.
While the recruitment was in full swing, those who wanted to leave the community were told that Qilin Villa had been taken over by Fengguang Group. They could leave the community at will, but they would need to pay a certain entrance fee to enter.
What the residents can get is the safety and stability of the community. If they encounter any problems, they can also seek help from Fengguang Group, and all problems will be handled fairly and impartially.
Faced with this sudden power, many people felt it was unfair, but when they wanted to resist, they found that the people occupying the gate were not only strong and muscular, but also had rubber sticks, batons and other weapons hanging from their waists, and even controlled knives such as machetes and big dog legs.
Looking at their own skinny and shriveled hands and feet caused by hunger, and thinking about how many days it had been since they had a full meal, they realized that they had no way of fighting against these guys who were obviously extremely powerful. They had no choice but to compromise.
Of course, the one who made such a big fuss was Wu Feng, and this was decided after he discussed it with Sun Guangjun.
Of course, Sun Guangjun only proposed a framework, and the specific content was still perfected by Wu Feng and his think tank.
The main purpose of recruiting workers is to give the survivors in the community hope of survival, and also to find a group of useful manpower for Wu Feng and Sun Guangjun.
In this regard, Sun Guangjun's needs are relatively small, and he only needs to hire a few workers in his Villa No. 1.
As the family has more and more people, with so many chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, and a clingy and stubborn little Dumpling, it is impossible for Sun Guangjun to let the women in the family always revolve around these little guys. They also have to seize the time to improve their own strength.
Therefore, finding a qualified chef and one or two people to do odd jobs has become an urgent problem that Sun Guangjun needs to solve.
Wu Feng also had to face the same problem. He had more people on his side, so naturally he needed more chefs and handymen.
It just so happens that Wu Feng is recruiting people this time, so let’s solve this problem together.
In Wu Feng's plan, the destination of most people in the community is the huge project of cleaning up the community.
Of course, while working, Wu Feng’s people will also appropriately discover some suitable talents and absorb them into his team.
Although these people can only be peripheral personnel at the beginning, they can be trained slowly and take on important responsibilities in the future.
In addition, through this large-scale open recruitment, Wu Feng can also get a feel for the residents in the community. If there are some people with special talents, they must be properly protected. When the base is established in the future, these people will be needed to shine.
Here in the central square, starting with the first person who signed up, more and more people were accepted, then took their tools and were taken to various parts of the community to start shoveling snow and breaking ice.
In just one day, almost all the survivors in Qilin Villa, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the children who could not lift tools, joined the labor force.
The entire community, whether on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, almost turned into a large construction site, with people working hard under the light of burning torches everywhere.
