Chapter 110 The army of maggots will arrive at the battlefield in three seconds!
On June 1st, Jingshu received her first salary in her life: 60 work points.
Jing's mother received her first salary after the job reform: 180 points + 2,000 yuan in cash.
Although paper money is no longer useful, it can still be exchanged for daily necessities at a high price. Some people always fantasize that the dark days will end, or that money will be restored after the artificial sun is built in October.
After deducting the daily meals, Sangu Jinglai received 30 work points, which could be exchanged for some food and water. The last time Zhatian went to bomb the oil community, he originally wanted to rob the Aijia Supermarket, but unfortunately the Aijia Supermarket was now stationed by armed police and was not affected at all.
The reform that started on May 1, 2023 has been implemented for exactly one month today. China had previously only tested it on civil servants and public institutions. Since June 1, the ID card virtual currency system has been officially launched. Currently, the ID card virtual currency can only be used to purchase food and water, and other items still support paper currency purchases.
The work point era of the first year of the apocalypse has officially begun. It will gradually replace paper money, and the era of big data and no privacy is quietly coming.
This transition period of change should have caused huge waves of interests, but the result was that the upper class had already completed the process of transitioning from paper currency to virtual currency, and they completed a new round of division of the cake.
From now on, virtual currency will be logged into the doomsday currency system.
In her previous life, Jingshu didn't have time to see the changes in the world. In this life, she finally saw the little changes happening around her. The net that the government had cast was finally starting to close.
Reporting robbery and murder will earn you 1-100 virtual currency rewards. This measure has led 80% of the people in Wucheng to keep an eye on their surroundings at all times and call to report any signs of trouble.
While the police and satellite cameras are verifying the information, it is also input into the new era big data analysis. Based on personal positioning big data, it can be analyzed what each person did at what location every day, the probability of robbery and murder, etc.
After a while, when the country announced that Jack Ma would be the chief data officer and the functions of big data, everyone suddenly realized that there were no police and no cameras in some places, so some people were arrested when they went to collect food. It turns out that big data is so awesome.
Coupled with the measure of collecting threatening weapons such as kitchen knives and knives, criminals will become more rampant and commit crimes more frequently.
However, as time went by, they could no longer rob food, so they could only steal daily necessities such as cloth and bedding, and then exchange them for food. Later, when they had even lost these, they could only exchange weapons for food. However, what they did not know was that their past had been analyzed by big data.
Who has food at home has become a taboo topic among the people. It cannot be mentioned, as if it is mentioned, someone will definitely keep it in mind.
Jingnai used to like chatting with the aunties in the community, but now she doesn't even go out. Every day when she sees the boxes of dry goods in the kitchen and the big refrigerator full of food, she feels safe. She wants to guard the food at home.
At the same time, Wucheng had been out of food for three days because the carrion beetles had eaten most of the mushrooms.
To be precise, the mushroom rice that was previously supplied was gone, and only white rice was left, but it cost 2 virtual coins. Many people spent all their money to exchange for only 10 virtual coins. A family needed water and food, and they could not eat it for a few days. The mushroom rice before was only 0.5 cents, which was just enough for a family.
There are also white steamed buns and reduced-sized pieces of meat, which can still only be exchanged for kitchen knives, which further increases the recycling of knives.
In her previous life, only one knife was left in Jingshu's family. All the other kitchen knives and weapons were exchanged for steamed buns. Unfortunately, the family was flooded the following year and the last knife was lost.
On the fourth day of the food shortage, carrion beetles invaded crazily, eating people, crops, and everything edible. At this time, every household had basically exchanged all the clothes, kitchen knives, and weapons they had found outside for food, and they had eaten them all. Not only did they face the days of no food, but they also had to face the double crisis of being bitten by carrion beetles.
Some people shouted slogans such as "Open the granaries and release food," demanding free food, otherwise they would cause trouble.
On the sixth day, the Wucheng government introduced new food, which cost 0.3 cents per serving, which was cheaper than white mushrooms.
The Dragon Boat Festival on June 7, 2023 is coming soon. After Jingshu delivered meal to Wu Youai today, she started to prepare ingredients for making rice dumplings with Jingnai.
Jingshu knew that something big was going to happen today, an event that had changed her worldview in her previous life. When everyone was clamoring for food, the Wucheng government actually did it again.
Yes, the prediction made by the Science Channel that Xuancheng carrion beetles will rule the world and stand at the top of the pyramid was slapped in the face again, because the natural enemies of carrion beetles began to appear in the past few days.
Commonly known as maggots.
Due to the high temperature, maggots are prone to breed in many places, especially the current high temperature.
Jingshu felt that the maggots were caught off guard by the carrion beetles at the beginning, and before they could react, the carrion beetles occupied a large amount of food, leaving the flies with no place to lay eggs, because the food was often occupied by the carrion beetles as soon as it was available.
But now they seem to have evolved a new way of opening it. It doesn’t matter if the food is occupied by carrion beetles. We will just occupy you slowly next to you.
So the flies used their amazing talent and began laying eggs around the carrion beetles.
Although they take longer to develop than carrion beetles, their food will still be eaten by the carrion beetles first. However, once they hatch, they are much larger than the carrion beetles and can crawl over and slowly eat the carrion beetles.
There is often a pile of carrion beetles with food around them, and when they hatch, they can eat the carrion beetles nearby.
Jingshu remembered the saying: Life is like a game of chess, I am willing to be a pawn, although my movements are slow, but who has ever seen me take a step back, the army of maggots still has three seconds to arrive at the battlefield!
Then Jingshu thought about it and realized that maggots are very commercial creatures. Why do I say that? Because where there is vivo, there is also Oppo. Now, where there are carrion beetles, there are maggots.
After the mushrooms of the other twelve management offices in Wucheng were eaten by carrion beetles, miraculously, a large army of flies also rushed to the scene and gave birth to piles of maggots.
Just when the government was at a loss as to what to do, biologists said that insects are rich in protein and taste good after processing, which is just right for people who clamor to eat meat every day.
I have to say the government is still quite qualified. When you complain about the lack of vegetables, they get you vegetables. When you complain about the lack of meat, they get you fat maggots. What else are you not satisfied with that makes you cause trouble every day?
