Chapter 358 Dawn Has Truly Arrived
Two days later, the people from Dawn Base arrived.
An Jiewen was in charge of distributing the supplies, while Tao Yarong was in charge of recruiting talent.
Soon, a message spread throughout the Fierce Bear Base.
"Anyone at the professor level or senior technician level can go to the base center for an interview. Those who pass the interview will be assigned to the Dawn Base."
Dawn Base, that name is already familiar to everyone.
Almost all the survivors in the country have heard that Dawn Base truly exists like the dawn itself. The countryside there is exceptionally beautiful, and life there is peaceful and serene. It is a paradise on this scorched earth.
Going to Dawn Base is their biggest wish right now.
The news spread throughout the entire base in a very short time.
Underneath a shack, a woman in a red cotton-padded jacket was hiding. When she heard a passerby talking about the news, she reached out and grabbed the man's leg. Her face, so thin that you could clearly see her bones, emerged from under the shack.
She asked nervously, "What did you say? What did you just say?"
The man she grabbed was startled and said irritably, "What are you doing hiding here? You scared me to death! I'm telling you, people from Dawn Base are here. They're recruiting professors and senior technicians. Anyone who meets the requirements can give it a try. If you pass the interview, you can go to Dawn Base."
The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket emerged, her face filled with disbelief. "What did you say? Dawn Base? Dawn? Is it Dawn?"
The man she grabbed grew impatient, thinking the woman might be a little crazy, and walked away without bothering to pay her any attention.
These past two days, the people at the seed base have been giving them a meal every day. With food in their stomachs, they are not as irritable as before.
If it were in the past, who knows what might have happened if they had discovered this woman, who looked like a skeleton, just to survive and have enough to eat.
The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket kept muttering, "Dawn, is it really dawn? Is this the dawn? They didn't lie to me, dawn has come, dawn has really come."
She got up from the ground and ran towards the center of the base.
The words that girl had said to her earlier kept echoing in her mind.
She said, 'Live well, dawn will come soon.'
Now, dawn has truly arrived.
The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket arrived at the center of the base, found the recruitment area of the Dawn Base, and nervously joined the long queue at the very back.
She was a little nervous. Before the apocalypse, she was a high school Chinese teacher, and she didn't know if she could pass the interview.
She timidly patted the person in front of her and asked, "What did you do for a living before?"
The man replied, "I used to be a senior engineer."
The woman rubbed her hands together and then asked a thin woman who had just stood behind her in line, "What did you do before?"
The thin woman said, "I used to be an auditing accountant. What about you?"
The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket became even more nervous. "I'm a high school teacher."
There are so many talented people in this world, and so many amazing people. She was very nervous.
She really wanted to go to Dawn Base, but she knew she wasn't exactly a top talent.
The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket rubbed her hands together nervously as she slowly followed the line. It was a very long time before it was her turn.
The interviewer was a young woman with neat short hair and rosy, full skin, like a glamorous young woman before the apocalypse.
She looked at herself again; she was thin and dark, like a skeleton crawling out of hell, neither human nor ghost.
Tao Yarong looked up and said, "Press your fingerprint."
The woman pressed her fingerprint on the device in front of her, and her information was displayed on the screen.
Tao Yarong looked up and asked, "Zhao Li, 28 years old, high school teacher, does she have any serious illness or disability?"
Zhao Li quickly shook her head, "No, no."
She stared nervously at the person in front of her, barely daring to breathe. Her fate rested entirely on the words of this woman.
Tao Yarong pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go in for a medical check-up."
In that instant, Zhao Li seemed overwhelmed with happiness. "Did I...did I pass the interview? Can I go to the Dawn Base?"
Tao Yarong explained, "After passing the physical examination, you can go to the Dawn Base. There is an observation period after arriving at the Dawn Base. If there are problems with your character, morality, or ability, you will be expelled again. The Dawn Base does not accept idle people."
Zhao Li quickly assured her, "I will do my best, I will definitely work hard."
She followed the passage to the room inside, where staff were waiting for her. They gave her a set of clothes and a set of disposable toiletries, saying, "Go wash up and then go for a medical check-up."
Zhao Li quickly took them. She glanced at them and saw that there were cotton-padded clothes, thermal underwear, women's underwear, as well as hats and scarves.
She walked into the bathroom crying, and as she drank the warm water flowing out, she cried even harder.
This was the greatest warmth she had felt since the end of the world.
With clean clothes and clean, warm water, she felt for the first time that she was still living like a human being.
Yes, she's a living, breathing human being, not livestock.
Zhao Li rubbed her hair again and again, but it was so dry and frizzy that it was tangled and impossible to wash properly. So she simply picked up a pair of scissors and cut it all off.
After taking a shower and drying myself off, I put on clean clothes, a hat, and a scarf. The new clothes were warm, and I finally looked presentable.
She followed the instructions to have her blood drawn for a physical examination. After the procedure, it was found that she was extremely malnourished, which had caused many diseases, but she did not have any infectious diseases. She passed the physical examination requirements.
Finally, she arrived at the canteen, where the aroma of food wafted towards her, carrying the warm, smoky scent of cooking.
The staff gave her a meal: a sticky porridge, stir-fried vegetables, and a steamed bun. She sat on the table and wolfed it down, crying as she ate.
Many people at the scene cried; the sounds of chewing and sobbing filled the air.
They changed into clean clothes, but their gaunt faces were etched with the suffering they had endured during this time.
Before the apocalypse, they shone brightly in their respective fields; after the apocalypse, they have fallen to this state.
In the face of natural disasters, who can escape unscathed? It's only a matter of time.
Once a certain number of people had gathered, they were loaded onto trucks and headed to the Dawn Base.
The carriage was crowded, but unusually warm. Everyone was clean and there was no odor. They were even given dry food to eat when they got hungry on the way.
There was a dim light in the carriage. Zhao Li looked around and found that everyone's eyes had lit up again, as if they had seen hope again.
Yes, they're going to Dawn Base, the best Dawn Base.
