Volume 1 Three Months After the End of the World Chapter 50: Dalang, drink the porridge quickly
Near the most prosperous university town in the harbor area of Q city.
A black torrent of zombies, carrying a certain creature, was rushing towards the east of the city.
In the middle of the team, a huge zombie, 3 meters tall, walked forward with a heartless pace.
Sitting on its shoulder was a small zombie with a big head. There were two small red tentacles on its head, which looked scarlet and hideous, as if two large hemorrhoids had grown in its head.
Whichever direction its tentacles turn, the surrounding zombies will move in.
The zombie torrent is getting bigger and bigger...
…
Shen Jin brought the middle-aged couple back to the settlement, and the progress of the system task was updated to.
[Residents of the settlement: 31/30, Residence time: 0/7]
As long as he waits for 7 days, he can unlock the upgrade of the industrial module.
With the [powder grinding machine] and [ore washing machine], Shen Jin can start his mining plan.
The resources collected at the port alone were not enough for him to complete the entire industrial revolution.
The post-production of high-tech equipment requires huge amounts of minerals.
Not to mention, building a doomsday fortress for yourself that is immune to all poisons.
By then, I will build a villa made entirely of alloy materials and explosion-proof glass, which even zombies cannot bite.
"Ahem... I'm thinking too far ahead. Today I have to make arrangements for the people in the settlement. They must not starve to death, but they can't lose money either..."
Shen Jin suddenly remembered the various raw materials and seeds he had collected before.
“Got it!”
Shen Jin piled up a large matchbox next to the iron gate.
A set of 64 cubic meters of cotton taken out from Room 7 of "Xuan" was put in.
Then a pile of wooden boards, sticks, canvas and other things were placed on the open space.
"Yang Ao, come alive!"
…
Shen Jin and Yang Ao, wearing iron armor, stood in front of 31 detainees.
Yang Ao ignored Li Jie who was flirting with him and said, "I said yesterday that when you come here, as long as you work, you will have food to eat!"
"Now, there are a few tasks for you to do. Those who can do it can get steamed buns and rice soup!"
Everyone was whispering, and many people had no intention of working at all. "Who do you think you are? You want us to work hard just to get some steamed buns and rice soup?"
"Why haven't the government officials come yet? They don't care about it. The next step is to set up their own criminal law!"
"If so many of us resist together, there's no way they can defeat us two!"
Everyone recovered from yesterday's surprise, slept well, and became bolder, so much so that they actually forgot about the two of them killing more than 60 zombies.
There are always some people who think: That’s no big deal, I can do it too.
However, most people felt that there was nothing wrong with the conditions proposed by the two. Didn’t they work for others before?
In this apocalypse, what's wrong with working for food?
Very reasonable!
Even a little too human.
Li Jie and Su Lele in the team looked at each other. They had already started "working" last night...
Yang Ao then shouted, "Those who don't want to work, retreat to the house, and those who want to work can stay and listen to the arrangements!"
Six people chose to withdraw, five men and one woman.
Especially the middle-aged couple who were forcibly rescued today. Steamed buns have no appeal to them at all. They have been eating them for 3 months...
If it is rice, you can consider it.
"Very good. Anyone here who has ever built a vegetable greenhouse?"
A bunch of urban white-collar workers looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they, who were all in the real estate business, ever get that thing?
Unexpectedly, Mediterranean Lao Wang took a step forward and said, "When I was a child, my family grew crops in greenhouses!"
Lao Wang is a child from a poor family. He did all kinds of farm work when he was young. When he grew up, he worked hard in big cities step by step.
By middle age, he finally became the vice president of Wanyu Group.
Also because he has been afraid of being poor since he was a child, he particularly likes to save money.
He is usually stingy and unwilling to spend money, but when he gets the chance, he will put it into his own pocket.
He was destined to work hard to earn money, but ended up raising two bastard sons who live off their parents at home every day.
Shen Jin was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that the vampire Lao Wang had this trick.
"Okay! Then you will be the leader of the 'Greenhouse' team. Pick 9 people and go build a 200 square meter greenhouse on the open space over there!"
Lao Wang is not stupid. He didn't pick any of those white-collar women. He just chose the most hardworking and conscientious men in the company.
Since he is doing this, he must achieve results.
"Okay, who can make quilt clothes?"
A bunch of female white-collar workers suddenly felt anxious. They all worked hard in big cities and had difficulty cooking. They had to buy ready-made quilts and clothes in stores or online.
What era is this? Is there still anyone who can make quilts?
Young woman Zhao Hong raised her hand timidly: "I have done it in my hometown..."
"Then you will be the leader of the 'tailoring team' and lead all the women to make quilts and cotton-padded clothes for winter!"
"good……"
Zhao Hong looked at Yang Ao with fear in her eyes. She still remembered Li Jie and Su Lele who were taken away last night.
Although nothing happened between the two of them, they even looked very satisfied after returning.
But Yang Ao holds the power over the lives of these people. If he fails to do well, he will be taken away too...
"The remaining six people will form a 'patrol team' and be responsible for guarding the wall. If there is any abnormal situation, report it immediately. Lao Wang will give them the walkie-talkie!"
Zhao Hong’s husband was assigned to the “patrol team”. Looking at the cool breeze outside, he wanted to be transferred to the “sewing team”, but was directly rejected by Yang Ao.
"Now, everyone who is going to work, come with me to eat here. Each person will have a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge!"
"By the way, the steamed buns and porridge are not ready yet, you ladies should come and cook first!"
Shen Jincai doesn’t have the time to cook for them himself!
Make it yourself and eat it yourself.
In this way, Shen Jin can arrange the work and so many people will not be kept in vain for these seven days.
Build a vegetable greenhouse to grow some fresh vegetables, and then digest the cotton and turn it into practical cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
These are tasks that his block-forming abilities cannot accomplish.
These materials have been piled up in the warehouse, waiting to be used one day.
The joy of hoarding rats is that the inexplicable things they saved a long time ago suddenly come in handy.
…
On the other side, the people who had finished steaming the buns and porridge sat at the door of the big matchbox filled with cotton and squatted to eat.
Su Lele's boyfriend, Liu Dalang, was also assigned to the "patrol team". He came over while they were eating and looked at Su Lele suspiciously, "Why do you look cleaner? Have you washed your face?"
Su Lele's face showed a moment of panic, "Well... just wash it a little!"
She was unable to stay overnight at Shen Jin's place yesterday, so she performed a show for him and was then allowed to go back.
Before leaving, he gave her two packs of compressed biscuits and asked her not to tell anyone who she met inside.
As for the JK outfit, the careful Su Lele put it away and changed into the dirty clothes again.
"Where does the water come from? Can it be used to wash your face?" Liu Dalang felt something was wrong.
"Those people brought some water yesterday, and we all took a shower. If you don't believe me, look at Li Jie!"
Liu Dalang looked at Li Jie's shiny white face and said, "Haha, you are really lucky. These people didn't even give us some water!"
"I don't know what the extraordinary people are thinking. Let's not talk about this. Dalang, drink the porridge quickly..."
