My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 707
[Chapter 698 Rain in May, pressure from the inspection team!]
The rain in May is coming.
In the evening, the sky was still cloudless and steaming hot.
But at eight o’clock in the evening, the pouring rain suddenly fell, and it began to bring a coolness to the dusty plain.
Thanks to the territory’s emphasis on water conservancy, even in this small Sangtian Town, there was no flood that occurred in the territory of origin at that time.
Aside from the constant cooing of the sewer, the lives of the people living in the town were basically unaffected.
Those who do business are still doing business, and those who go to the ground are still working in raincoats.
There are even many people who are fortunate that this rain has finally reduced the continuous high temperature a lot, saving the pain of the flesh in the fields under the sun.
However, this trace of happiness was only reserved for one night.
After discovering that the rain did not stop at all on the second day, but it was getting heavier and heavier, more and more people could only pray silently in their hearts.
The rain before the summer harvest can pass quickly, and don’t bring other variables to the next harvest.
But unfortunately, to pray for this thing, you can only do your best to obey the destiny.
From the evening of June 2nd to June 6th.
Four full days have passed, and when Soma woke up in the morning, the sound of rain in his ears still did not decrease at all!
“Yeah, Brother Zong, why did you wake up so early?”
“It’s only 5:50, you don’t go to work until 7:30, and there are still two hours left!”
“But breakfast will be ready soon, if you love it The spicy mashed potatoes and steamed buns, go wash up first.”
After seeing Soma coming out of the middle room and Huang Xiaojuan, who was busy on the stove sticking her head out, she shouted happily twice.
Because the rain was so heavy, the fields near Sangtian Town had basically turned into a pool of mud.
In this case, let alone work in the fields, even if you go for a walk, people will be turned into mud babies.
Therefore, from the afternoon of the second day, all the industries related to planting in the entire Sangtian Town, except those who work indoors, are still continuing.
Almost all workers in other industries have become suspended.
Of course, what makes Huang Xiaojuan so happy is that when purchasing the territorial identity, there is a contract that restricts both parties.
Like now, although the work can’t be done, the salary is still paid.
And under this kind of paid vacation, she even imagined that the rain would last for ten days and a half months, which made people wonder whether to laugh or cry.
“Okay, don’t worry, I’ll clean up the water in the yard first.” He
waved his hand and looked at the yard that was about to be flooded overnight, and the Oreo who was forced to squat under the eaves.
Soma moved his shoulders, picked up a broom made of thick leaves, and began to sweep out the street.
During these four days, the drainage system of Sangtian Town has undoubtedly been severely tested.
But what is reassuring is that this town was constructed according to the natural disaster standards on the wasteland at the beginning of its establishment.
Although there was a lot of rain in the four days at this time, it was still a long way from this mark.
For example, the Gutian Third Street in front of the courtyard, the managers of Sangtian Town even have time to come and maintain it.
“Hey, you guys are also cleaning the courtyard!”
He kept sweeping from under the eaves to the door, opened the courtyard door and stood outside, looking at the two people who were also standing on the street sweeping water, Somo laughed “honestly” .
When he first came, there were only two families living in this Gutian Third Street.
And the location of these two households is at the end of the alley, not close to him at the end of the alley, there is a distance of three small streets.
But strangely, it only took two days to pass.
After the heavy rain began to fall, a succession of “neighbors” near the courtyard chose to move in.
As of last night, there were already four houses that had moved in, with thirteen people, making the whole street suddenly lively.
These people are of different heights, shorts, fats and thins, men, women and children of all ages.
If Somo hadn’t felt the surveillance of these people long ago, I’m afraid it would be difficult to detect that these “family”-like organizations were actually disguised.
“Isn’t that right? It’s been raining so hard that it’s only been one night, and it almost flooded my house!”
After two days of getting along, because Soma leaves early and returns late every day, several people have no time to strike up a conversation at all.
At this time, when Su Mo took the initiative to greet him, Wang Qian, a slightly chubby shirtless man, was obviously a little happy, and he hurriedly said:
“Brother Su, I smell the deliciousness of your food here, otherwise, we will give it to you. You have paid for the ingredients here, and you are adding some processing fees.”
“You can also take care of some food for us. Eating out here is too expensive!”
“Oh? Do you know my surname is Su?
” “He tilted his head, and looked at Wang Qian for a moment, with a pale complexion.
Su Mo suppressed his smile and coughed lightly: “It’s not impossible, I have to ask Xiaojuan of my family to see if she is willing, after all, I’m just a foodie.”
“Okay, we don’t force it. , I figured that we are neighbors, and we can help each other with anything.”
Seeing that Su Mo was not struggling with this issue, Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly carried the topic down.
For a moment, in a friendly atmosphere of exchange.
After sweeping all the water in the courtyard into the sewer, Soma clapped his hands in satisfaction and went home to wash.
When it was time to sit at the dinner table, Huang Xiaojuan just brought the meal over, only making the room steaming hot and full of fireworks.
“Brother Zong, I saw that you and the people next door seemed to be talking about something. What, do they want to monitor us?”
First, the thief glanced out the window and made sure that these people were not eavesdropping nearby. Huang Xiaojuan said this. Then he turned his head and gestured with a knife in his hand.
When she was in Qingguo territory, she was not so sensitive.
After all, although she had been a refugee for a period of time at that time, she did not really encounter any crisis of life and death.
It was not until later, when she was shocked by the culling of the Liu brothers on the train, and after walking past the gate of life and death, that Huang Xiaojuan realized the danger of the wasteland and turned into a mild persecution paranoia.
“What are you thinking, our Tianyuan territory is so safe, why is it so complicated as you think?” “Besides, they asked me
just now and wanted to come over to eat, saying that they provided ingredients and processing fees, where are the bad guys?”
Picking up a big white steamed bun, Soma dipped in the spicy mashed potatoes on the plate and laughed while eating.
No wonder Huang Xiaojuan was so vigilant, when these people were monitoring him at the beginning.
On the first night, even with Oreo’s warning outside, Soma didn’t fall asleep very much.
But later moved in from these people and began to express goodwill intentionally or unintentionally.
The situation has changed again.
In the past two days, although they were monitoring the courtyard all the time, they kept an eye on the whereabouts of the two.
But there is one point that has been ignored.
Oreo!
With the appearance of a Chinese pastoral dog as a cover, Oreo looks stupid, and will go out for a walk every day at regular intervals, and only come back when he is crazy enough.
But in fact, in the blind spot monitored by these people, Oreo has already lurked in the past, eavesdropping on intelligence.
Linked together, as early as the morning of June 4th, Soma had already figured out the specific origin and purpose of these people.
“Ah? Aren’t they bad people?”
Hearing Somo’s safety, Huang Xiaojuan patted her chest and sat down with relief.
But then, she answered energetically: “Brother Zong, did they tell you how much the processing fee is!”
“Hey, I know you are a money fan!”
Helplessly glanced at Huang Xiaojuan, who became excited again, and Su Mo spit it out. The price that Wang Qian had offered before.
In order to conceal the purpose of himself and others, and fearing that Soma would become suspicious, Wang Qian’s price was not high, basically according to the standards of restaurants in the town.
Three meals a day are all inclusive of material cost per meal, and processing fee is 0.1 point per meal.
That is to say, even though Wang Xiaojuan was busy for a whole day, she could only earn 0.3 points.
After three days, it’s not even enough.
Based on the high 39,800 points of the micro-development platform, she would have to work 363 years without sleep in order to be able to just meet the price.
It’s just.
“0.1 point, 0.3 point per day, plus my current daily salary is 0.5 point, I rely on, I can earn 0.8 point in one day???”
Compared with Qingguo Territory, a family of three worked for a whole year, To earn around ten o’clock.
After calculating that it would take him less than 13 days to reach this number, Huang Xiaojuan froze on the stool and smirked.
With her like this, Oreo, who was bowing his head to cook next to him, was so happy that he laughed along with him.
“Quick, stop laughing, eat quickly!” The
atmosphere was joyful and the food was delicious.
After taking a sip of the sweet millet porridge in the bowl, Su Mo smiled, not having the slightest idea to point out the truth to Huang Xiaojuan.
Fortune favors fools.
According to Huang Xiaojuan’s current daily income of 0.8 points, just for the 3,000 points of purchasing an identity, she would have to work for ten years before she could make a return.
And these ten years do not include daily life, eating and drinking.
If you count these, I am afraid that 20 years may not be able to pay back the 3,000 points spent in the early stage.
“So in the end, it’s this identity again.”
“If you can afford people, you don’t need it. If you need people, you can’t afford it. Why does this system need to exist?” The
question returned to the original starting point. I can only hold it in the back of my mind for a while.
After having breakfast, he gave Oreo a few words as usual, and Somo picked up his bag and started walking towards Zizai Liangfang.
All the way through a few small streets where the stagnant water blocked the sewers, and when they were about to converge on the main road, the younger brother Sun Quan was waiting at the old place again.
“Hey, Brother Su, you’re finally here.”
“What did Xiaojuan do today, I can smell the fragrance from far away!”
Because of the heavy rain, the cafeteria in Zizailiangfang also suffered. All the ingredients were soaked in water.
In a fit of anger, Zhang Min simply fired the old cook who asked for “high” prices, and planned to hire a few new cooks with lower prices to save the budget and improve the taste along the way.
It’s just that she didn’t expect that Zizailiangfang not only couldn’t recruit people for planting workers, but even cooks rarely came to interview.
It’s been two days and I still haven’t been able to find a decent chef.
No way, everyone can only prepare their own meals for the time being.
“It’s all in the bag, you’re in a hurry!”
He patted the backpack that was still hot. Seeing Sun Quan’s anxious appearance, Su Mo laughed. The two of them held up their umbrellas and started to walk side by side in the direction of Liangfang.
After getting accustomed to Sun Quan’s existence, the resistance in Soma’s heart has long since disappeared.
Just like now, listening to Sun Quan gossip about Sangtian Town and the territory one by one.
Soma felt heartfelt convenience.
How can these information be collected by someone with a dull mind.
It was Sun Quan who was so familiar that he had the cheek to find people everywhere to chat, cliché, and collect information.
And relying on his information, the two decisively bought a large number of inexpensive raincoats on the second day of the heavy rain.
They threw them all out in advance on the afternoon of the third day, and made a huge profit.
Among them, Somo invested 400 points and earned back nearly 680 points, and the profit was as high as 70%!
Sun Quan invested 90 points, and borrowed 100 points from Sumo. In the end, after deducting the interest, he earned 310 points, and the profit was as high as 65%!
This time, Sumo was convinced by Sun Quan’s well-informed information, while Sun Quan Serve the decisiveness of Soma’s action.
Coupled with making money together, the friendship between the two began to heat up rapidly.
“Brother Su, do you think we should stock up on a wave, now that the price of food in the territory is very low, if we take action now, we must”
walked to the front of Liangfang and looked at the recruitment office that was not patronized in the past. At this time, there were more than 20 people waiting to sign the contract.
While Sun Quan was amazed, another plan came up in his mind.
However.
“Do you think the territory will be harvested in summer this year, and you won’t be able to receive it?” Su Mo’s faint voice came.
Sun Quan was startled, and then whispered: “It’s possible, it’s raining too much now, and no one knows how many days it will last. If it takes a long time, the summer harvest will definitely be ruined, and the price of food will inevitably rise by then.
” After the harvest, the price of food will not be as cheap as before, after all, the price is here.” Before he
finished speaking, Sun Quan turned his head to look at Su Mo and felt his legs soften.
If it wasn’t for Soma’s support in time, I’m afraid it would be possible for him to kneel on the ground this time.
At the entrance of Zizai Liangfang, in the past, a few servants were sitting idle, receiving guests who came to ask prices and workers who came to apply for jobs.
It is rare to see outsiders who can pass through the outer hall and enter the inner hall to sit.
But today, things are a little different.
In the inner hall, there were several men in black uniforms and tall purple rain boots sitting.
Beside them, as the shopkeeper of Zizailiangfang, Zhang Minzheng kept laughing with him, and could vaguely hear something in his mouth: “I promise”, “I will definitely accept it”, “At your own risk”, “Disaster” words such as wealth.
“The inspection team is here. Liangfang is going to enter. Wartime management?”
Sun Quan, who was still slow, saw the Sen Leng pistols hanging on the waists of several men and the inspector badges on their chests. The pace immediately quickened, almost half pulling Soma to the back.
It wasn’t until he could no longer see a few people in sight that he hurriedly said with a guilty conscience:
“Brother Su, there is a big problem, the inspectors are here to ensure 100% that there will be no problems with harvesting this summer.”
” But At our level, and this damned weather, even the Qiankun grain store may not be able to return the pellets. After we
opened his mouth and made a “running” mouth, Sun Quan had some wars, obviously I have long experienced the power of the Inspector Team.
As for the idea of making territorial disaster wealth before, how can I see the slightest at this time.
The rest are terrified.
“Come on, if you can run, the monk can’t run away from the temple. If Liangfang puts the responsibility on your head, do you think about the consequences?” Taking
the lunch box to Sun Quan, seeing his face turn even paler, Somo raised his hand and hung the umbrella on the On the wall, open the door of the studio and walk in.
People who have just come to the territory may not be aware of the power of the inspection team, but as the initiator, Soma is Menqing.
After all, this thing was created by him, with Pei Shao, the head of the general manager, serving as the first-generation inspector captain.
Eight years into the wasteland now, even the previous rules have followed more than 90%, completely eliminating the possibility of any territorial people wanting to steal “territorial interests”.
For example, Zizai Liangfang is now being targeted by the inspection team. If the food cannot be turned in on time, there is only one fate waiting.
“Fortunately, the development of the first generation of tools is about to be completed.”
“When the time comes to use this tool, even if it can’t exceed the Qiankun Food Bank, it will not be too much.”
Looking at the work table belonging to Zhang Bowen, that one is already close to A semi-finished Noh stone sickle.
Su Mo twisted his neck, and suddenly a sense of accomplishment rose from his heart.
Of course, this sense of achievement was not entirely brought about by training Zhang Bowen to make an energy stone sickle within four days.
What’s more, Somo lowered his body and pulled out the oversized blueprint from the big drawer under the development desk!
On this patchwork drawing, which is nearly three meters in length, there are recorded manufacturing steps that only Soma himself can understand.
And it has almost touched the limit of knowledge that Soma can achieve at this stage!
