Four rooms in the outer circle
Jiang Miao would not give extra meals for every meal, nor would he give extra meals to everyone. Only those who performed well and had high efficiency that day would get extra meals, and most of them would be fast food, simple meals, pasta, self-heating rice, and occasionally hard currency such as cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.
After all, obtaining the 'dungeon qualification' is just an intangible gimmick. Everyone is scared of living in the apocalypse and wants to give themselves an extra layer of security for the future, so they work so hard to come to this construction site to carry bricks. It's not that they hate it, but they definitely won't work too hard.
But since Jiang Miao’s extra meal system, the working atmosphere of the C3 group has completely changed.
"Jiang Jie, we will finish this mission tomorrow. What should we do next?"
After a few days, even the troublesome little brother was bribed by Jiang Miao with a greasy chicken drumstick in a packaging bag, not to mention the other members of the group.
Jiang Miao glanced at the lonely Yuan Yexin over there and raised his chin: "Team Leader Yuan, what do you say?"
Yuan Yexin was secretly worried.
In the apocalypse, whoever gives you milk is your mother. A few days ago, he was still trying to balance the team and support the two forces to hold each other hostage while he sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers. But in a blink of an eye, the one who was supported first is about to take his place!
He forced a smile and said, "I'll go get a new mission point this afternoon."
But the most frustrating thing was that he had to follow Jiang Miao's wishes!
That's ridiculous.
C3 had extra meals with oil in them, so everyone worked very hard and the quality and speed soared, leaving the other groups far behind. Even the superiors were alarmed and said they would hold a commendation meeting to set an example for other groups.
The group's performance was good and Yuan Yexin was very proud of himself in the Yuan family. He treated everyone to water and drinks at the construction site for several days in a row. However, just before the commendation meeting was about to begin.
Yuan Yexin is missing.
There was no surveillance, no traces of crime, and he just disappeared out of thin air at the construction site.
Only the team leader had a separate room on the construction site. Everyone else had a room of four. The workers had three witnesses against each other, so no one knew where Yuan Yexin had gone.
"What should we do? Are the higher-ups going to lock us up for investigation?" the troubled younger brother said anxiously.
Jiang Miao frowned and shook his head: "Our team is the most efficient in the entire engineering team. Even if they want to check, it will not delay our construction schedule."
The members of the truck team were worried: "Could it be that other teams are jealous of us and are deliberately making things difficult for our team?"
Jiang Miao's eyes darkened: "It's possible. Team Leader Yuan has been so happy these past few days that he can't hide it."
Everyone understood.
It turned out that Team Leader Yuan did it himself.
But I'm about to go on stage to attend the commendation meeting. What should I do if Team Leader Yuan is not here? I can't refuse this honor.
Da Biao was the first to suggest: "Why not let Sister Jiang go? Our team's high efficiency has nothing to do with Team Leader Yuan."
The troublemaker agreed: "That's right. We worked so hard and he just sat there watching with a folder in his arms. In the end, we were the ones who worked the hardest, but he got all the benefits and reputation. How could it be so good?"
That seems to be true.
After all, how could a worker get used to seeing someone doing nothing but giving orders?
The person who would go on stage to receive the award was decided. In addition, a group must have a manager, so Jiang Miao naturally became the acting team leader and went to the headquarters for meetings every three days.
Just as she said, there were people coming and going on the construction site asking questions, but there was also a hard indicator that their team's construction schedule must not be delayed.
Jiang Miao carried four bags of cement and walked to the mixer, wondering whether the Yuan family valued Yuan Yexin himself more, or the benefits brought by being the leader of the C3 team?
She remembered that there was no one named Yuan Yexin in the lineage of Grandpa Yuan Yiwei.
"Haven't found it yet?"
Old Master Yuan frowned, and his nanmu cane resting on the ground showed his indescribable majesty: "We can't have someone from the Yuan family disappear without a clear reason. If we can't find out what happened, how can we, the Yuan family, gain a foothold in Beijing?"
The people below remained silent, but they went to the scene to investigate several times. He disappeared. The last person who saw Yuan Yexin said that he walked out of the construction site alone and never came back.
How are they supposed to find people in such a huge base in Beijing?
After thinking about the whole thing carefully, Mr. Yuan felt that it was a bit too arbitrary to focus the investigation solely on hostile forces. Now that the end of the world has arrived, everyone knows that one less death in their own bloodline makes it a scarce resource, and in the process of fighting for power, they will try their best not to touch this bottom line.
"Go, send someone to keep an eye on the new team leader of Group C3."
At the commendation meeting, Mr. Yuan, who was sitting in the front row, glanced at the girl. He was not surprised by the honor and favor, which showed that he was a real character.
The excavation and construction of the underground city was progressing in an orderly manner, and Jiang Miao soon discovered that there were several more pairs of eyes around him.
Anyway, she had no pressure. She just ate, slept and drank as usual. Under her wise leadership, the C3 team moved forward courageously. Almost every commendation meeting was held for the C3 team. Jiang Miao also successfully connected with other team leaders through her identity as team leader.
"Team Leader Jiang, your group is first again this time! We really can't compete with you." Wang Feng from Group D6 has the best relationship with Jiang Miao among all the team leaders.
Perhaps because they were both women with no background, Wang Feng was the first team leader to extend an olive branch to Jiang Miao.
"It's just so-so, probably third in the team." The excavation work is almost coming to an end, and the reinforced concrete underground world has been built. Now it is the turn of the leaders to draw lots to decide the territory division of each district in the underground city, and then to refine the decoration.
In order to ensure fairness, each team leader also had to draw lots for his or her group, and they would stay on site to watch after the group meeting.
Needless to say, the power center, the rest of the forces surround the center to form a point-line divergence, assisting the operation of the underground city;
Next came the elites such as the small leaders of each district in Beijing, the small clerks with some connections in Beijing, the various scientific researchers, the wealthy who could afford the high entrance fee to the city, and the leaders of various teams;
It was not until the penultimate floor that the workers who were building the dungeon appeared.
The outermost circle not only has a poor environment and crowded space, but also because it was the first to be constructed, neither the technology nor the materials are the best, so it is left to ordinary people to enter through lottery.
The conference officially begins.
It was said that the selection was by drawing lots, but each family had already determined its own position in a series of drinking parties and dancing games. It was not until the process reached the scientific researchers and wealthy people that Jiang Miao realized how real the lottery was.
In the audience, Wang Feng turned his head and asked Jiang Miao in a low voice: "You will be the first one among us to go up and choose a seat later. Where do you want to choose?"
Except for the last one or two floors, the good locations have almost all been picked up. The remaining places are either small or have strange layouts, but at least they are independent spaces, which are much better than sharing a house.
"Choose the one you like." Jiang Miao was practicing Tai Chi, and he had already chosen a place in mind.
Wang Feng pointed to a spot on the stage and said, "I've got my eyes on the spot that C3 is in charge of. The steel bars are inserted really straight... Oops, he was picked right after I finished speaking."
After so many meetings, everyone knows that C3 is the most capable group, so the construction sites they contracted will naturally be selected the fastest.
There were only a few dozen small rooms left in the third-to-last circle, with an average area of about four square meters. Following the host's instructions, Jiang Miao stood up and walked to the lottery table.
The leader of the engineering team not only has to choose an address for himself, but also rooms for his team members.
She pointed to the second-to-last floor, the best location closest to the power center: "There are 38 people in our group and we can be divided into 19 rooms. This is just right."
The staff immediately registered this place to C3. No one in the audience groaned. After all, where the team members lived depended on their previous work abilities. They didn't blame these lazy guys for causing them to have to draw lots.
Seeing that Jiang Miao had not yet given his address, the host asked quietly, "Team Leader Jiang, have you not decided yet?"
Jiang Miao smiled bitterly: "Well... I am a bit claustrophobic. If the room is too small, it will be too depressing and I will easily get sick."
What?
You're also claustrophobic. It's the end of the world. Can you stop being so pretentious?
Everyone in the audience had different expressions on their faces. They felt that Jiang was really ungrateful. Everyone knew that she, the team leader, was one who took advantage of the disappearance of the Yuan family.
You should just be happy that you have managed to get into the elite group, but it's ridiculous that you are being picky.
Seeing that some people were getting impatient, the host couldn't help but urge: "If Team Leader Jiang really doesn't make a good choice, then the benefits of this outstanding team will have to be given to the next person!"
Team leader A2 was a little agitated. Was it so hard to choose the best one left? He would not even consider the choice!
Jiang Miao pretended to be in deep thought: "Although I don't know if this operation will work, but I really want to ask."
The people below unconsciously focused their attention on her.
"I want this area in the outermost circle."
——There are four houses outside the C3 group.
There was a moment of silence in the audience. Even the organizers did not expect that someone would leave the houses in the elite circle and choose the four rooms on the outermost circle.
Although the housing area is much larger, the welfare policies, information flow, and neighborhood relations are the differences between first-tier cities and small counties. Especially now that it is the end of the world, who would leave the elite class to live in the slums?
Therefore, they did not even have an emergency plan for this sudden situation, and did not know whether they should agree to Team Leader Jiang’s proposal.
"I agree!"
The first person to express his opinion was the representative of the Yuan family.
The people around him complained. He stood up and looked around at everyone, and reminded them, "Our young master Yuan Yexin disappeared on the construction site for no reason. There is still no clue to this case, and the construction team has not explained to our Yuan family yet."
In the original plan, the Yuan family wanted to get a piece of the elite pie and get into their own network, but they lost the opportunity when something unexpected happened, and now it has come to nothing.
But now that things have developed to this point, the opportunity is right in front of us. Jiang Miao's withdrawal means that a position will be vacated among the elite, and it would be great if it could be left to the Yuan family.
The person in charge of the underground city construction project pondered for a moment. To this day they still cannot give an explanation to the Yuan family for the disappearance of team leader Yuan Yexin.
"Team Leader Jiang's replacement request was approved, but due to Team Leader Yuan's absence during the later construction work, he can only be moved to the last selection."
It would not be a loss even if he exchanged ten rooms for one in the outer circle, so he had no reason to refuse others' requests to move down.
The representative of the Yuan family breathed a sigh of relief. It was not bad to be able to get it. Others did not object. After all, what was wrong with being able to move up one number to choose a room?
He took one last look at Jiang Miao who was walking off the stage, and looked away with some contempt.
How could someone who was so stupid as to exchange silver for stones survive the apocalypse?
I heard he's pretty strong.
As the team leaders came on stage to confirm, the conference ended successfully and the position allocation was completed smoothly without the outside world knowing.
A few working days later, Jiang Miao got his property ownership certificate and rubbed his sore shoulders. He finally got a good position in the underground city.
Although Jiang Miao has the golden finger of rebirth, she never doubts modern science's predictions about future disasters.
Since the authorities are going to such great lengths to build the underground city, it means that they have a certain prediction of the unknown natural disasters that are about to happen. Therefore, during the construction period, she did not dare to do anything blatant and get into trouble.
But now that everything has settled, the guards at the edge of the outer circle are so weak that they can withstand any attack.
So, on a dark night, Jiang Miao put on a hood and changed into tights, and with the help of infrared glasses, she avoided everyone and went to her basement room.
After such a long time since her rebirth, she is finally going to start building her own dungeon.
