Chapter 78
With the incentive of the prizes, the two shelters recruited people at a rapid speed, and a week later Ye Qing ushered in another upgrade.
[Congratulations on successfully recruiting 1 million residents and reaching level 7. You will be rewarded with 20 card draws.]
[Shelter level: Level 7, 1.01 million residents (including affiliated towns), 15,000 tourists.]
[Required conditions for the next level: 2 million residents (progress 101/200), 4 affiliated towns (progress 2/4), 100 special buildings (progress 40/100).]
[Crystal Core Balance: 30 million.]
Shelter area: 100 million square meters.
[Residential buildings: 80 (limit: 100).]
[Shelter facilities: government service center, school, clinic, library, underground shopping mall, several buildings...]
[Scenery: Monet Garden, Musical Fountain, Green Lawn, Mountaintop Campground, Cherry Blossom Trail.]
[Public transportation system: 1 small train, 1 bus, 1 white RV, 1 green pickup truck, and 1 yellow electric donkey.]
[Friendly reminder, the next level is the maximum level. You will receive the ultimate prize when you reach the maximum level. Please keep working hard~]
Max level! Level 8 is the max level. Just recruit 1 million more residents, sign the remaining two additional binding cards, and draw some special buildings to upgrade!
Thinking of the ultimate grand prize, Ye Qing couldn't help but get excited. What kind of prize would that be?
100 million square meters is equal to 100 square kilometers. The Xuhui District in Shanghai is only 54 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of two districts. Ye Qing is very satisfied with this area.
After the upgrade, there are 20 more residential buildings available. Ye Qing plans to keep all 20 buildings for himself as houses for future talent introduction.
This upgrade rewarded 20 card draws. A few days ago, he successfully bound two affiliated towns and was rewarded with 40 draws. In addition to the various side quests completed in the middle, Ye Qing’s total number of card draws has reached 100.
This was the most card draws she had ever saved, and she was so happy that she jumped to the system card draw interface and clicked.
【Do you use it? 】
【yes. 】
[Please enter the number of times to use: () times, can be used 100 times. ]
Ye Qing excitedly entered 100.
An elaborate lottery pool appeared on the system panel, with a series of colorful cards rapidly sliding from left to right. The celebratory sound of fireworks continued for a long time as cards were drawn one by one and arranged in order. Because there were so many cards, they could not fit in a single row, and a thick pile was piled up.
She was too lazy to look at them one by one and just flipped the cards over.
This time, we obtained a total of 20 restaurants, 8 landscapes of various colors, 20 TVs, 10 sausage/ice cream machines, 10 self-service vending machines, and the rest were some foods that were already available in the mall.
What Ye Qing cares most about is the landscape. The place is large and there are many people, so he has to consider more about the places for leisure time.
Among these eight landscapes, four are exactly the same, called [Central Park]. It is an ordinary park with some flowers and plants, and some rockery and flowing water. Ye Qing plans to give it as a prize to the four affiliated towns in the future.
The other four are [Bamboo Garden], [Plum Garden], [Lavender Manor] and [Swan Lake].
Among them, Ye Qing’s favorite is Swan Lake. On the second day after its establishment, she and Zeng Yi rode their electric scooters there for a walk early in the morning.
The sun rises, the morning light is brilliant, rosy clouds caress the lake, and white swans glide gracefully across the water, creating a fairyland between sky and water. The lake is exceptionally blue, and many residents, having seen pre-apocalyptic geographical atlases, remark that it bears a striking resemblance to Sayram Lake.
The residential buildings in Taoyuan are very high, and the residential area only occupies a small area. Most of it is occupied by these beautiful landscapes, which are distributed on both sides and constitute the main part of the shelter.

Zhucheng, Fengyun Supermarket.
The residents came like a tornado, empty-handed, and left with a lot of supplies.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun looked at the empty supermarket at a loss. There was clearly a purchase limit, and even though they had bought according to the maximum limit, it was still far from enough.
A couple ran in from outside the door. They ignored the advice of Fengyun brothers and sisters and hurried into the supermarket. After a while, they came out with disappointment on their faces.
"Boss, how come today's supplies sold out so quickly again? We were out of stock yesterday because we came back late, so it's understandable, but why are we still out of stock after coming here so early this morning?"
Lu Yun sighed and said, "Alas, there are people who arrived earlier than you. There's nothing I can do."
What can she do if the goods are selling so well?
The couple looked around and leaned in to whisper, "Boss, are you out of stock? Where's the warehouse?"
Lu Yun shook his head: "The warehouse is gone too."
The couple's faces were wrinkled like bitter melons, with a look of worry on their faces: "Ah, we haven't bought any supplies in several days. We thought everyone was no longer so crazy after the novelty, but we didn't expect a large number of new people to come to the city. They are fighting with us for supplies every day. It's like starving ghosts reincarnated. Who can beat them?"
Lu Yun glanced at the culprit, Zhu Yuanze, who was sitting next to him, and comforted the couple: "Oh, the population surge is only for this period of time. It will be fine after a while. We will go to restock tomorrow. You can wait for a while."
The couple had no choice but to thank him and leave.
Then Lu Yun came and sat down in front of Zhu Yuanze. Lu Zhicheng said that the room reservation point was located in Fengyun Supermarket. They opened a window on the wall next to the supermarket door and set up a desk inside the window. Zhu Yuanze was also responsible for this work, so he would come to check from time to time.
At this time, Zhu Yuanze was discussing something with his second brother Lu Feng with a serious face and focused eyes.
Lu Yun casually glanced at the various papers on the table and interrupted their conversation: "Brother Zhu, can you control the population recruitment progress? Our logistics support can't keep up!"
Zhu Yuanze looked up at her calmly, then lowered his head and continued to stare at the notebook in his hand. His tone was flat and steady: "That's your problem. I just need to complete the task assigned to me by the city lord."
Lu Yun stared at his unyielding attitude and glared at him with disdain: "Stubborn! Just like your grandfather. I knew you were unreliable and didn't expect you to do anything. But we're going to buy some goods soon. My brother said you'll go with him tomorrow?"
Zhu Yuanze then raised his head: "Well, City Lord Lu is interested in training me and wants me to go to Taoyuan to learn more."
Lu Yun waved his hand nonchalantly: "Well, I don't care who goes, but when you go, don't forget to remind my brother to get the reward, a restaurant!"
Lu Feng, who was standing by, burst out laughing. "I've said this to Brother Zhu several times today. I bet his ears must be callused by now!"
Lu Yun glanced at Lu Feng and said, "It's so familiar that you won't forget it."
Zhu Yuanze's throat slid, and he swallowed his saliva for the first time: "Well, I will remind you, but the city lord should not forget such an important thing."
Lu Yun pouted in dissatisfaction: "If the supermarket wasn't so chaotic right now, my second brother and I would definitely go with him! Humph, my eldest brother can slack off for another week, so you guys better not have so much fun that you forget about leaving."
Zhu Yuanze assured him again and again, and Lu Yun finally felt relieved: "Okay, I'm going home. I'm exhausted from working all day. Don't you guys want to go back and rest early?"
Zhu Yuanze shook his head and said, "Tomorrow is the first time the residents will go to Taoyuan. I have to see if there is anything I've missed."
Lu Yun walked a few steps and turned back to ask, "Where's my second brother?"
Lu Feng didn't even raise his head: "If you have something to do, go back first."
Lu Yun yawned and waved as he walked: "Okay, study it carefully and remember to lock the door of the supermarket."
The next day, before dawn, some residents appeared in front of Fengyun Supermarket. They were carrying packages and bags, and it was obvious that they were going on a long journey.
The train to deliver goods and pick people up had not arrived yet, so everyone gathered together and discussed excitedly.
"Hey, buddy, where do you live?"
Song Ming elbowed the young man in his 20s standing next to him. He was a street patrolman and had seen most of the people in the city over the years, but this man was unfamiliar to him and seemed like a newcomer.
The young man tightened his grip on the package and blinked hard: "Zero Zone."
Song Ming raised his eyebrows: "Zero District, have you just settled here?"
Zone Zero is a temporary resting place provided by the Zhucheng government for those who have not yet arranged housing. Residents are now being recruited from all over the city. Those living in Zone Zero have undoubtedly just come from other shelters.
"Settled" is a hot word. Those who were more observant turned their heads when they heard it and said, "Oh, you just settled here. I heard that many people from other shelters have come here recently."
The young man swallowed and said, "Yes, I'm from the third shelter. You can only reserve a room if you're already registered. I want to take my mom to the hospital to have her ears and eyes checked."
Only then did everyone realize that there was a white-haired old woman standing next to the young man. No matter how much everyone talked to her, she didn't react at all.
Everyone immediately began to sympathize: "This child is pitiful. He has to take care of his sick mother at such a young age. But he is quite filial."
"Yeah, there aren't many guys as filial as you. You don't know the grandfather of my neighbor's younger brother's wife..."
They started a new topic, and Song Ming came up to the young man and said with a smile: "My name is Song Ming, and I went to Taoyuan alone. What's your name?"
The young man said, "My name is Zhang Wei."
Song Ming put a hand on Zhang Wei's shoulder and said, "Then we can be neighbors there, go shopping and eat together. I heard there's a hot pot restaurant there, and the price of the hot pot should be shared by several people."
Zhang Wei stumbled: "You... don't you dislike me?"
Song Ming looked puzzled: "Why does Yao dislike you?"
Zhang Wei lowered his head and said, "I came from another shelter and took up your room reservation."
Song Ming suddenly understood: "Oh, that's why! Opportunities are equal for everyone. The quota is there. How can they blame others for not getting in early enough?"
"Besides," Song Ming looked around and whispered, "the more residents from other shelters come to seek refuge, the better!"
Zhang Wei couldn't wait to ask: "Why?"
Song Ming then whispered, "I heard from my leader that if the city lord accepts the mission, there will be a reward for every 100,000 or so increase in population. Look, a reward like this supermarket."
Zhang Wei's mood suddenly brightened up: "Is that so? Then I'll tell my old friends to come over early."
Song Ming patted Zhang Wei's shoulder and said, "Yes, you should relax and have fun. The train will be here soon. I'm really looking forward to it!"
