Chapter 191 The girl and the man each took on a task
If Lan Shiruo wasn't worried about whether there would be enough space, it would definitely be able to be installed. The importance of coal mines hasn't yet been fully realized. During this scorching summer, most people are using solar energy. The competition for coal mines is simply a precautionary measure based on previous weather changes, in case of future unforeseen circumstances. Once the scorching summer ends and solar energy becomes unusable, coal will be prioritized as a primary energy resource.
Lan Shiruo would not give up. She would feel at a loss if she took away half of it. If possible, she would like to take away all of it.
But, as part of our team's motto, we have to be low-key. "Let's do it secretly. The quantity we need is too large. They might not agree to it openly, and I can't bear to give up so many other supplies in exchange."
The friends all like to come to the dark place, "How do we do it? What should we do? Go there when it's dark and windy?"
Lan Shiruo's mouth twitched. How did her little friend develop such a bandit-like character?
"No hurry, let's go get the news first."
After three days of rapid travel, they arrived outside the gate of U City.
This is the first time for a large team to see a large-scale safety base after half a year. Nowadays, all the safety zones have been renamed as safety bases. The reason is unknown, but it seems to be because it is more grand and has a higher sense of status.
The big team didn't care about this, they just felt that it would look more solid than the previous safe zone, with higher-end equipment and more reasonable internal construction arrangements.
Everyone lined up to be checked in turn, paid the entrance fee, and then went in.
There are different channels for internal staff and temporary staff.
Internal personnel can enter directly by swiping a card, while temporary personnel must apply for a temporary card. If you want to stay long-term, you can also apply for a long-term card. The materials you surrender and the benefits you receive are different.
Large groups apply for temporary entry and exit cards, and pay for supplies per person. Adults and children are different. After entering the city, they need to rent a house at their own expense. There is no difference from before, except that the management in the city is more strict and standardized.
The big team rented a two-story building, which was incredibly expensive. If possible, they would like to rent out their own villa. It's such a rip-off.
Ao Chengyi suddenly sighed, "So, we must establish our own territory."
The little friend took three steps back as if he saw a ghost. Has Big Brother changed his nature?
The elder brother had a cold and arrogant look on his face as he took his young wife to the mission hall.
The quest hall was packed. A large display in the center scrolled through the available quests, the number of people currently accepting them, and completed quests were promptly removed. A smaller display next to it displayed important, long-term, unlimited quests, such as finding crystal cores. The exchange rules for various crystal core levels were also thoughtfully displayed, with clear pricing and no deception.
While looking for the crystal core, the friend discovered a special long-term task in U City, mining. Just like the coal miners in the past, he went down into the mine to dig coal.
The treatment is quite good, including three meals a day, a meat meal every week, 30 kilograms of rice or other corresponding staple food supplies per month, as well as water and other necessary items, to ensure that one person can support a family of three.
There are also comfort materials for accidental death, and public reimbursement for disability, which is similar to before the end of the world, except that the remuneration for work is different.
Coal mining is dangerous, especially in such hot weather. Many people die from heat and suffocation. The environment underground in the mine is several times worse than that on the ground. No one would be willing to go there unless they really can't survive. Therefore, this is a high-risk industry and has become a long-term task that requires long-term recruitment.
The team felt this mission was perfect for them, the only job that would get them up close to the mines, so they didn't have to think twice. However, the men all agreed that the women should wait at home while they took care of the job.
The girls' objections were ineffective and they were left in U City to do support work.
Hundreds of mines, harvested non-stop every day, would not be completed in a day or two, and the girls could not just sit around at home doing nothing every day. So, after the men left, they went to the mission hall, ready to find some easy, short-distance missions to earn some money for the family.
Without a man, a few girls with a few children look particularly conspicuous. People always like to make up some strange stories, both good and bad, and the looks they give the girls are also colorful.
The girls simply ignored it and chose their tasks carefully.
The girls liked a task that had been pending for a day and no one had claimed it. The task was not difficult, which was to eliminate the mutant moths that suddenly appeared. These moths did not attack people, but they carried poison powder. Wherever they went, they would leave powder. As long as humans were contaminated with this powder, they would get rashes all over their bodies, and they would get red, swollen, itchy and itchy. Although it was not fatal, it drove people crazy and made them lose the desire to do anything else.
The reason why no one claimed the mission despite it being easy was that they only appeared at night and were hard to find during the day, so the only way to eliminate them was at night. However, the danger at night was several times greater than during the day, so they would rather take the difficult daytime missions than the simple night missions, which also paid less.
The girls accepted it without hesitation. When the others saw this, they understood clearly. Women can only do simple and easy things. They are brainless and may not know how dangerous it is outside after nightfall.
When the girls saw the expressions of these people, they rolled their eyes and thought, who knows who is stupid, so it’s better not to worry about it.
It was still early, so the girls prepared to set off immediately and had time to survey the terrain after arriving at the location.
I didn't expect to meet an "acquaintance" as soon as I went out, and he was also monkey shit.
Back in City B, after their first evolution, the girls were chased by stink bugs at night and ran to the toll booth where they met a group of people. They were even locked up downstairs by the group, and the next day they tried to recruit them, saying they were women, too weak, and needed men's protection.
There are not many familiar faces in this group now, most of them are new faces.
Dong Dali and Qiao Dong were the most familiar, and judging by their expressions, they had clearly recognized them. As their gazes fell on the extra children, Qiao Dong and Dong Dali's eyes once again turned contemptuous, almost to the point of being disappointed with them. They themselves were already struggling, yet they were so kind as to adopt the children. They were truly lucky to be alive today.
The girls didn't want to bother with these two. Not only did they have poor eyesight, but their brains were also not working well. "Please make way."
Dong Dali turned his nose up and said, "Hey, don't you remember me?"
"Get out of the way, don't make us say it a third time."
Qiao Dong glanced at the girls and said, "Let them pass." His tone fluctuated, as if he was letting them suffer a little first, and then the president would teach them a lesson.
Dong Dali sneered, stepped aside, watched the girls walk away, and immediately asked someone about them.
The girls didn't take these people seriously. They swiped their cards to leave the city, took out their cars, and drove away.
It is located in a village on the outskirts of U City. Before the end of the world, this was a resort in U City. It was the only place with beautiful mountains and rivers that had not been ruined by coal mining geology, so many people would come here to breathe fresh air during holidays.
Every family here has a small villa, a farm stay, a pond, an orchard, and an amusement park. There is everything here.
After the apocalypse, this place was left desolate. At the beginning of the apocalypse, many people came here to search for supplies and had a rich harvest. Now, all the supplies have been plundered. The city needs bricks and tiles for construction, and they have set their sights on this place. Most of the small houses that used to be there have been demolished, leaving only some broken walls, which looks a bit cruel.
Those who were harmed by the poison powder came here just to move bricks and tiles.
