Not long after the cold wave warning was issued, the N City Management Office posted a large number of recruitment notices. In order to help everyone get through the winter and resist the upcoming cold wave, the government decided to build centralized winter shelters.
All those involved in the construction of the shelter will receive a place to stay in the shelter, and if they work eight hours a day, they will also receive two kilograms of rice and flour and a one-liter bottle of drinking water.
To meet the deadline, the shelter operates 24 hours a day. At night, bright fluorescent lights are hung on the construction site, illuminating the entire site as if it were daytime, without affecting the progress of the work in the slightest.
The shelter also recruited a dedicated search team, who are responsible for cutting down trees and collecting timber and fuel every day.
This team has its own fleet of vehicles and specialized logging tools. They are well-trained and can return to the shelter every day with large quantities of timber and a considerable harvest.
This made some refugees who went out alone to find fuel extremely envious. The broadcast also specifically stated that the supplies found by the search teams would be used for shelters. Since individual efforts are limited, it was suggested that everyone concentrate their efforts and speed up the construction of shelters.
The basic winter supplies needed in the shelter will be provided to the residents once they move in.
Jian Ye came to find Li Ke several more times, telling Li Ke that all the government staff who came to provide assistance had been withdrawn, leaving only a five-person inspection team to supervise the local departments that took over the assistance work.
The Jian family has fully accepted Li Ke's job in N City, but Jian Ye still hopes that Li Ke can move to the central urban area. Li Ke inquired with Jian Ye about the management system that the shelter will implement next.
In this lifetime, thanks to the early warning of the apocalypse, the Chinese government responded extremely quickly. For example, the current shelters did not exist in the previous lifetime.
When the cold wave hit, most people did not take timely measures, and many people froze to death in the cold winter.
The shelters that are being built rapidly sound like the prototypes of a post-apocalyptic base. Jian Ye revealed some more information about the shelters to Li Ke.
The number of places available for shelter can be obtained by disaster victims through participating in 50% of the labor involved in the construction of the shelter, or by exchanging supplies and money.
However, due to inflation, the Chinese currency has depreciated considerably, and the price would be extremely high if purchased with real money.
Moreover, none of the accommodation slots are permanent. Accommodation slots earned through labor are valid for six months, while slots purchased with resources and money have their accommodation period determined by the amount invested.
Of course, the accommodation conditions in the shelters vary in quality. There are communal dormitories, as well as multi-person rooms, double rooms, single rooms, large suites, and large single-level family housing. There are many options for disaster victims to choose from, and the price to pay will naturally vary depending on the choice.
To live comfortably, you need to put in more resources and work points. After moving into the shelter, the shelter will implement a work point system. Work points can be earned through labor or exchanged for supplies and money.
The shelter welcomes all refugees. Even those who are not eligible to stay at the beginning can stay on a points-based system and have their points deducted and returned through labor later.
Jianye told Li Ke that, thanks to their efforts, 80 percent of the refugees had decided to move into the shelter and were now actively involved in the shelter's construction.
Moreover, many merchants and individuals with large quantities of supplies have already redeemed their accommodation rights with them and obtained very good accommodation conditions.
After listening to Jian Ye's words, Li Ke asked, "You are so eager to have all the refugees move into the shelters, but can you support all their subsequent needs? It sounds like you are great philanthropists who don't need much reward. I don't really believe that capitalists like you would do such a risk-free business, except for the country."
Jian Ye didn't know what he meant to Li Ke now. He couldn't forget the moment Li Ke jumped off the plane and took off her hat. She was so beautiful and dashing that it made his heart skip a beat.
However, through these few encounters with Li Ke, Jian Ye felt that Li Ke's outer shell was too hard, which gave him a helpless feeling of wanting her but not being able to have her.
He was reluctant to give up, but he wasn't the type to force himself on a beautiful woman, especially now that they were in the apocalypse, he felt even more pity for women.
Of course, Jian Ye never considered himself a good man, but he knew very well that Li Ke was not a casual woman, which made Jian Ye, who wanted to have a relationship with Li Ke but did not want to start a family, hesitate.
In short, regardless of whether the two of them end up together or not, Jian Ye still wants to keep Li Ke under her watchful eye for now.
Hearing Li Ke's question, he didn't hide anything. Over the past few days, he had come to understand Li Ke's personality to some extent. Although she was aloof, she wasn't a talkative person.
Therefore, he didn't mind telling Li Ke some things in advance. Jian Ye directly explained to Li Ke: "This matter was originally a response measure jointly discussed by the country and the families that took over. This disaster has affected the entire world, and the disaster has not only harmed the people, but also severely damaged our army and national weapons."
Many countries that have reached the end of their rope have exhibited some extremely reckless self-destructive behaviors. Their self-destruction is not only directed at themselves, but they also want to drag other countries down with them, or they want to have a massacre before their destruction.
Therefore, our country now not only has to carry out a difficult self-rescue, but also a protracted war of self-defense of its land and resources. Moreover, even if there is no other way, we must find a way to open up a new path in this world.
The current shelter system is a last resort, and our families who took over the shelters had to go through rigorous national assessments to qualify.
Of course, our nation won't let us make sacrifices for nothing. Since we've accepted such a heavy responsibility, we'll receive support from the country. For example, our law enforcement team's weapons, some basic technological equipment, and material support will all be allocated to us by our nation.
Furthermore, for every refugee we rescue, our shelter's contribution points will increase by one point. Shelters with higher contribution points will be more valued and supported by the country.
The government-supported self-governance system for shelters will become a new way of life in the future. Li Ke, join the shelter! I can help you find a good job, and the work points you earn will be enough for you to live a comfortable life in the shelter.
