Chapter 282 Staff Restaurant
Everyone's focus is on defense.
Not only have many survivors set their sights on this place recently, but the climate has also become increasingly severe.
There was hail mixed in with the rain, and this morning someone was hit in the face by hail the size of duck eggs, almost disfiguring him.
The top of the mountain was not greatly affected because it was protected by the Tree of Life, but the other trees on the mountain and the homeless mutated animals all suffered.
Not to mention the earthen hills that had few protective measures in place to begin with.
With the double blow of mud and water and falling hail, the mountains became eroded and unsightly.
Only a few stone mountains survived.
"I plan to build a watchtower every hundred meters on the mountain. There will be a duty room behind each watchtower. I will hire some people with special abilities to live in the watchtowers, and equip them with artillery. This will serve as a protective measure if we encounter a zombie tide or other bases come to occupy the area." Qi Chi is now busy designing the watchtower's architecture and the corresponding built-in equipment.
Luo Jinbei focused on screening personnel on the mountain. "There are many mountain ranges right now. Our Stone Mountain is already 600 meters high and has a lot of space. It can definitely accommodate some people with special abilities to enter the mountain. This way, we can gather people together and work together when encountering danger."
Xiao Choujue and Xiao Wangba both agreed with this suggestion. With only a dozen of them, even if they were strong, they would not be able to withstand natural disasters and sudden dangers.
There is strength in numbers.
However, the screening of people with special abilities must be targeted to a certain extent. Not all of them are required. Character, ability, and skills are all important.
"Yes, this way there will be more people, and everyone will be responsible for an area to protect those plants and mutant animals, which will save time and effort." Duan Ya said.
Xuan Hongyan had just contacted him. They collected a lot of weapons, equipment and zombie crystal cores on the way back. Now is the time when they are short of manpower, and their supplies are completely sufficient.
Luo Yunjin pondered for a moment and thought this was a good idea. "Then we'll accept 100 people first. However, they'll have to build their own houses on our mountain. We'll just provide some raw materials like trees. As for the selection method, we'll first take a written test and then an ability test. Those with special skills can take an additional test."
She took out the FM radio that hadn't been used for a long time, and at the same time took out the loud speaker to play the selection information.
The time is set for 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Those who are willing to participate should go to the scene on time. The location is a fruit buffet restaurant halfway up Stone Mountain. The written test mainly tests psychology and personal information organization. The ability test requires on-site demonstration of the ability level and effect. If you have special skills such as cooking and construction, extra points may be given at the discretion of the examinee.
Finally, after comprehensive evaluation, the best candidates will be selected. A total of 100 candidates will be hired, and the specific remuneration will be discussed in detail after hiring.
Upon hearing this news, many people with special abilities who lived in the nearby mountains were overjoyed.
Everyone knows that there are many high-level psychics on Stone Mountain, and the mountain is rich in resources. If you can live on Stone Mountain, you will have both life security and satisfaction of living needs.
Almost everyone is ready to sign up.
Many people did not have enough crystal cores to stay in the hotel halfway up the mountain. Now that they heard the news, they were very excited and wanted to seize the opportunity.
And they also said that even if the level of your ability is not high, as long as you have special skills, you will get extra points.
Many people lined up in the early morning.
At seven o'clock the next morning, when Luo Yunjin and others went down the mountain to clean up the restaurant, they saw a group of people queuing from halfway up the cliff to the bottom of the mountain. There were at least five or six hundred people.
They thought that many people would sign up, but they didn't expect that there would be so many survivors in these mountains and the nearby sea city?
incredible.
Qian Yuanfeng moved all the tables in the restaurant, and Duan Ya brought out the test papers that had been printed long ago.
It has been mentioned on the broadcast before that all applicants are required to bring their own pens, and due to the location of the examination room, everyone can only take the exam standing up. However, except for the personal information page, the rest are multiple-choice questions.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Luo Yunjin opened the door and invited everyone in.
The cafeteria has two floors, so two examination rooms were set up.
There are 534 people in total, just enough for 267 people in one examination room.
Duan Ya originally prepared only 400 test papers, and later printed out another 200 copies.
There are six examiners in each examination room.
If anyone is found to have plagiarized practice or has other impure intentions, they will be disqualified from the exam immediately.
No one showed any abnormality during the written test. It was just a formality, mainly to check everyone's personal information.
An hour later, all the test papers were collected.
They had previously established a re-scoring mechanism to screen out some survivors who had no special skills and low ability levels based on their personal information.
Based on the principle of admission based on merit and to give everyone a chance, they screened out the odds in the first round of written examination.
The survivors who had neither special skills nor special abilities were the first to be eliminated, exactly 34 people.
No one in the crowd looked surprised; they even felt that the number of people screened was too small. In the end times, strength was everything.
"The reason we select people with special abilities to enter the mountains is mainly to resist those outsiders who want to seize our territory. In addition, as the sea level continues to rise, we need everyone to work together to open up a new home. So this time, the selection of personnel will mainly depend on everyone's special abilities. We give priority to high-level special abilities." Luo Yunjin stood on the steps, holding the mountain, and said seriously.
Among those who remained, the worst were first-level psychics.
After hearing what the girl said, many people backed off.
"So in the second round of ability test, I hope everyone can show their strength. Now, please show your abilities in turn according to the names I call, and I will directly announce whether you are hired or not." Luo Yunjin said in a serious tone.
All personal information has been collected. According to the level of superpowers, the highest here is a seventh-level superpower user, and the 100th one is exactly a third-level advanced superpower user.
However, there are many people in the first 100 that she doesn't want to choose.
The first person to be called out was a woman in a large fur coat. She expertly formed a water ball and said, "My name is Zhao Alan, and I have a fifth-level advanced water ability."
Chen Yueliang was at the beginner level of the seventh stage. She confirmed that the other party's ability was indeed real before nodding to Luo Yunjin.
"Okay, you've been selected. Go into the restaurant and wait. I'll assign you the work you need to do and inform you of the benefits here." Luo Yunjin took out her information sheet and ticked it.
…
"Liu Yun, fifth-level intermediate earth-type ability."
"Zhou Lan, third-level advanced gold-type ability."
"Zhang Heng, fourth-level intermediate water-based ability."
"Yuan Xiaoni, fourth-level primary healing ability."
"Li Heng, sixth-level elementary wind ability."
Wave after wave of people entered the restaurant.
"I'm sorry to the two of you below. Due to personal grudges, I am not going to accept you as a member. Shen Junxie and Lan Xinya, you two can leave on your own." Luo Yunjin directly returned the test papers they had just answered to them.
Although Shen Junxie was disappointed, he was not surprised.
He took the test paper and left.
Lan Xinya was completely stunned. "You, why don't you accept me?"
"You don't have any special powers at all. Your powers are fake." Luo Yunjin didn't want to waste time talking to her and told her her secret directly.
Lan Xinya's pupils trembled.
Her ability was given by the system, and she is indeed not a real one. But this secret is known only to her!
Lan Xinya noticed many strange looks around her, and she panicked, "You have no evidence. I am indeed a sixth-level advanced wind-type mutant!"
"Since you say you are real, then use your wind-based ability to lift yourself up to one thousand meters and keep it there for three minutes in front of me." Luo Yunjin looked at her expressionlessly.
For a true sixth-level wind-type ability user, he can easily fly high in the sky with the help of the wind.
But Lan Xinya is not like that. She can only fly a hundred meters at most and can only maintain it for ten seconds. It may be okay to fool ordinary people, but Luo Yunjin can hear her system talking, and she has known this secret for a long time.
This is actually not the most important thing. The key is that she had a bad impression of this woman in the central base.
Bad character.
Seeing that she was standing still, Cheng Yuanfeng immediately drove her away.
Lan Xinya covered her face and ran back to the hotel pretentiously.
"Well, I want to ask something." Zhang Heng, who had suddenly been confirmed to be hired, stood up. "My girlfriend is an ordinary person. She can't survive on her own out there. I can buy the supplies myself instead of the ones you provide. Can I let my girlfriend come with me?"
Luo Yunjin had thought about this issue a long time ago. "I was just about to explain this. You have been confirmed to be hired, so you can bring your family members to live here, but we won't be responsible for their safety in the mountains. We will pay you all the benefits as usual, but only to you personally. We won't be responsible for your family's daily life. If we discover that your relationship is fake, or that you're staying here as a transaction, we will take action."
This news made many people's frowns relax.
"Wang Lili, seventh-level intermediate fire ability."
"Zhang Yuan, sixth-order elementary speed ability."
…
"Alright, including those with special abilities, we'll be recruiting a total of 113 people this time. Don't be discouraged if you're not successfully recruited, we may have other plans later. All those who participated in this selection can go to the hotel entrance, and we will give you some fruits and vegetables."
Those who were selected were very excited. They looked at the decoration inside the restaurant and the mountain scenery outside the window and felt very lucky.
All 113 people sat upright.
Lin Xi stood at the front and said, "Now, I will arrange your work and assign tasks."
"Our Stone Mountain is currently 637 meters above sea level. We plan to build four watchtowers, each 100 meters apart. The lowest watchtower is 200 meters away, and three psychics will be assigned to each tower."
"After the watchtower is built, it will be equipped with all living supplies and weapons and tools. Among the three people, one must have a support-type and one an offensive-type ability. Because of the security and defense issues involved, these twelve ability users must all be level five or above."
"Because there are more and more survivors on the mountain, we are also planning to build a staff cafeteria and conference hall halfway up the mountain for easier management. The chefs for the staff cafeteria will be the eight people you just recruited through special skills. The conference hall, cafeteria, and hotel will each require two psychics for daily management."
"The daily lives of the above 26 people with special abilities are relatively easy. They are provided with accommodation and three meals a day, but the requirements for their special abilities are relatively high."
"For the remaining 87 people, you are free to build houses on the mountain. Lunch will be provided free of charge, and you can go to the cafeteria halfway up the mountain for lunch. We are the 18 members of the Rose Team, all of whom are level seven or above. When we need to go out to find supplies, you can join us on your own. All the supplies you find will belong to you. When Stone Mountain encounters danger, everyone must participate in the battle!"
Lin Xi read the manuscript in his hand seriously.
The psychics below were all discussing.
"There are two barriers on the mountain, and no one is allowed to enter the top area. You and your family members must register with me and then receive a lightning crystal core. With this crystal core, you can freely pass through the lightning net barrier halfway up the mountain." Luo Yunjin said softly.
"By the way, you can't harm the mutant animals on the mountain at will. There are some scattered fruit trees, so you can pick as many as you want. If anyone is found smuggling supplies or harming animals, they will be driven out of Stone Mountain."
113 people had no objection.
A total of 152 lightning crystal cores were collected.
"Of course, the watchtower, staff cafeteria, and conference hall haven't been built yet. They'll take two days to build. All people with special abilities must participate in the construction of these buildings. The weather is unstable right now, so we need to finish the buildings as quickly as possible." Qi Chi took out the architectural drawings. "This is also a good opportunity to see how everyone is using their special abilities."
Duan Ya and Qian Yuanfeng took everyone out and divided the work among them.
Start working in the afternoon.
Xiao Choujue pushed a small cart full of fruits, and all regular employees could receive a portion of fruits.
Everyone was very happy, as if life had hope again, so they worked very hard.
That afternoon, several earth- and gold-type psychics built the staff restaurant.
The staff cafeteria only provides free lunch to the 87 people, and breakfast and dinner must be purchased with crystal cores.
All eight chefs started work that day.
The restaurant is two stories high, with five ordinary windows on the first floor.
The three windows on the second floor sell spicy hot pot, noodles and desserts respectively.
There is a staff dormitory behind the restaurant. There are eight chefs in total, each with a room.
The orchard and vegetable garden on the top of the mountain were handed over to Xiao Choujue and Chen Yueliang for management. They were responsible for arranging the daily transportation of supplies. The restaurant would send a chef to the top of the mountain every day to transport the ingredients needed for the day.
In addition to the conference room, the outermost exhibition hall housed three rows of screens. The first row displayed surveillance footage from various watchtowers on the mountain and the surrounding area of Stone Mountain. The second row displayed a map of the area surrounding Stone Mountain, with red corner markers corresponding to the people or zombies shown on the first row of surveillance cameras. The third row displayed mission schedules, including tasks such as searching for supplies or providing supply exchanges.
Because many people have checked into Stone Mountain, many rooms in the hotel are empty, and only a small number of psychics who have not successfully joined Stone Mountain are living there.
Weapons are installed on the four watchtowers. The three psychics working here have to take turns on duty, eight hours each day, mainly observing the nearby terrain, whether there are approaching zombies or survivor groups, and the rising tide.
The watchtowers are all built on the edge of the cliff, so you can enjoy the scenery below the mountain, but there are no trees to shelter you, so rain and hail can easily damage the houses.
Therefore, the watchtower is made entirely of stone, and the roof is thickened with an iron sheet, which means the noise will be a bit loud.
