This time, he didn't pronounce the name directly. Instead, he paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over the crowd in the square. He saw that everyone was holding their breath, their faces filled with anticipation and tension.
"The first prize winner is Xue Tao, the leader of the 513th team of the excavation team!"
As Li Yi's voice fell, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the square, as if they were about to turn the entire sky upside down.
At this moment, they were filled with envy for Xue Tao, who was the first prize winner of the "Torchbearer Model Citizen" award!
The recipient of this award will be promoted two ranks immediately. From then on, Xue Tao will no longer be the squad leader of the excavation team at the Fire Seed Base, but will be promoted directly to the captain.
As everyone knows, at the Fire Seed Base, although the excavation team leader has the title "leader," he is actually just the lowest-level manager in the base, and not even a manager.
An excavation team consists of 8 people, including the team leader who manages 7 team members and is responsible for accompanying the team on missions.
A more assertive squad leader might be able to use their power to do less work, and might even gain more advantage over weak and easily bullied team members.
If the squad leader can't control the people under him, the position of squad leader becomes a thankless job. Sometimes he does more work than the ordinary team members, but he gets the same food and goes hungry every day, just like the ordinary team members.
Once you reach the rank of squad leader, things are different. Squad leaders manage 10 squads, their work is easy, and they don't need to go on missions. They receive more food supplies than ordinary team members. Although the food isn't particularly good, it's enough to satisfy their basic needs.
The treatment of the battalion commander is far superior to that of ordinary team members. He commands 10 squadrons, totaling 800 people, which is essentially equivalent to the mid-level leadership of the base, so his treatment naturally increases accordingly.
Not only does it have an unlimited supply of porridge every day, but every week it can also receive a free packet of pickled vegetables or a tael of boiled meat. This is a rare luxury in the apocalypse. For most of the base members who are still struggling to make ends meet, the treatment enjoyed by the brigade leader is simply a fantasy.
Of course, the unlimited supply of porridge mentioned here is subject to strict requirements. You must take as much as you want to eat, and you can only leave some for your two immediate family members, in order to prevent anyone from hoarding food or wasting it.
However, even such treatment is what countless ordinary people dream of. After all, in the apocalypse, having a stable food source and not having to work hard outside is already a great blessing.
At this moment, all the members secretly vowed to work harder in the future, so that they could also be like Xue Tao and others and obtain the honor of "Model Citizen of the Spark", improve their status and living conditions!
