Chapter 146: You Want to Contribute Points but Not Your Life
As long as we can add some manpower, professionalism is secondary.
But they also did not give up on recruiting professionals, even if it was a medical student with no clinical experience before the end of the world.
Xiang Yu looked at the long queue at the window of the exchange hall. Recently, more and more mission vehicles were setting out.
Correspondingly, they also took away a lot of food, so food has been very scarce in the shelter recently.
It is no longer possible to exchange food like before. Currently, each person can only exchange a small amount of food rations a day with their ID card.
There was no way to avoid having enough food, so everyone started to tighten their belts.
Previously, only hydroponic vegetables were available at the redemption window. Now, soil-grown vegetables are also being sold, but they are expensive.
Xiang Yu exchanged today's rations, put them in his backpack and left the exchange hall. While walking on the road, he felt a lot of eyes on him.
Soon two figures came towards them and stretched out their hands to stop Xiang Yu. They were a middle-aged woman and a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
"Girl, I'll use my contribution points to exchange for half of the food you have, okay...?"
The young man also looked at Xiang Yu.
The middle-aged woman took out the ID card on her chest and said, "My children eat a lot, and the food we have is not enough. Please be kind and give me half of it..."
"How many contribution points did you use to exchange for these grains? I'll give you double the contribution points, okay?"
The young man said the same thing.
Many people around focused their eyes on the three people. Xiang Yu looked at the two people standing in front of him. This was in an empty alley.
She would definitely exchange the food with these two people, but after they said that, many people around were looking at them.
"Sorry, I eat a lot, and this is not enough for me."
Xiang Yu said this as she moved sideways around the two of them. The price of food in the shelter had risen recently, and the food she had just exchanged had cost her more than two hundred contribution points.
It was only enough food for one or two days. If these two people had stopped her in a deserted place, she would probably have given half of her food to them.
She only exchanged half and got double contribution points, which meant she didn't spend a penny and even earned two hundred.
What a pity.
Xiang Yu left the exchange office with a sigh.
At this time, there were several times more survivors in the mission hall than before. Xiang Yu stood at the entrance of the mission hall and looked inside.
It's impossible to squeeze in, it's full of people. There are a lot of high contribution point tasks released in the shelter recently.
Basically half of the survivors in the shelter have come to accept the mission.
Xiang Yu squatted on the side of the road eating buns. After waiting for a while, a task vehicle drove over. It was a large 12-wheel truck.
After the mission vehicle stopped, the horn on the roof began to sound. The sound of the horn was not loud and was soon drowned out by the noisy voices in the hall.
The young man sitting in the driver's seat opened the car door, stepped onto the roof, took the horn in his hand, turned the volume to maximum, and started shouting.
"Attention survivors on the mission to City H, the bus will leave in five minutes, please get on board as soon as possible..."
After the young man shouted for a while, half of the survivors who had gathered in the hall rushed out.
The young man then opened the door of the carriage, and the survivors who had accepted the mission got on the train one after another.
Xiang Yu was still squatting on the side of the road, eating the bun in his hand.
After a while, another mission vehicle drove over, also a 12-wheel truck, and this time it carried the survivor who was squatting on the side of the road with Xiang Yu.
Almost half of them got on the bus.
As people left, others came, and soon the mission hall was crowded with people again.
They all carried backpacks and held weapons in their hands. They were survivors waiting for the mission vehicle.
Xiang Yu was eating the food in his hand, but his ears unconsciously pricked up, listening carefully to the conversation between the two people next door.
"You actually accepted the mission in F City. Are you trying to save your life? The mission now has a high degree of freedom. You should withdraw immediately."
"Yes, that mission is so dangerous, with nuclear radiation. Everyone else is trying to avoid it, so why are you still going there?"
"You want contribution points over your life, listen to me, quit this mission now, and we'll take a safer mission, you'll get the same contribution points."
Xiang Yu turned his head and looked at the three people beside him. The ones who were talking were three uncles, who were squatting beside Xiang Yu.
The three men looked to be in their fifties. After three years of suffering in the last days, their faces looked more vicissitudes and older.
At this time, the two men were persuading the uncle squatting in the middle. No matter how they persuaded, the uncle remained unmoved.
It was not until the two men reached out to grab his ID card that the uncle stood up and pushed them twice.
"Leave it to the two of you. I won't live much longer anyway. If I take this mission, I can save some living contribution points for my wife and children..."
The two men squatted silently beside him listening to his words. They wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know what to say.
