Chapter 1283 Madman's Request
Oil City, trading market.
The bungalow in the center.
Ju Tianrui looked at Li Yu with an awkward smile, and asked nervously:
"City Lord, is there any problem with my offer just now?"
Li Yu, who was originally leaning on the concrete pillar, used his feet to prop himself up.
He said calmly:
"No problem, but you should be more cautious about scarce materials such as medicines and ammunition."
"In addition, I think there will be some problems in measuring value and price in transactions. The expectations of each other are different. You can study the unified standard later."
"Write down the reasons for formulating this standard and show it to me later."
"You can barter in the early stage, and then you still need to unify the weights and measures. Use the previous bullets as the anchor point. It should be much better by then."
"Yes."
Ju Tianrui nodded: "You are right, Lord."
Li Yu looked at Xie Dongming and his group who left, and continued:
"The construction project of the trading market should be pushed forward as soon as possible, and the publicity work of natural disasters should also be accelerated. After all, we don't have much time left."
Hearing what the Lord said, Ju Tianrui's sense of urgency increased immediately.
Excluding today, there are only eleven days left.
Besides, he thinks that the prediction of natural disasters may not be so accurate, and it is normal to postpone or advance it a few days.
So he planned to finish the project of the trading market three days before the expected natural disaster, and also prohibited the transport personnel from going out to avoid the situation where they were still outside when the natural disaster came.
Later.
Li Yu personally ordered Ju Tianrui to commend Ning Tai's cooperative team and give them some points as rewards. This kind of points can be used in the three places of the Dazhangshu base and can be exchanged for food, clothes, etc.
The importance of points is equivalent to the money before the end of the world in the three places of the Dazhangshu base.
Except for some controlled materials, the others can basically be exchanged.
And more importantly, points are linked to promotion. When the points rise to a certain level, they can be promoted to non-staff personnel after assessment.
Becoming a non-staff personnel, the benefits they can enjoy are much better than those of cooperative personnel.
So far, these cooperative personnel are not eligible to enjoy free food, and can only get points by constantly completing tasks.
Just like now, there is only construction or transportation work, and then get points.
Although the affiliated forces of the North can also obtain food, they are different from those affiliated forces of the North. Not only can they obtain food, but they can also be given some points.
It can be understood that one provides food and accommodation, but no salary.
The other provides food and accommodation, and some salary can be obtained.
This is the difference between the affiliated forces of the North, the support staff of the Southern Paradise and the cooperative staff.
Although the points are very small each time, this is already very satisfying for the cooperative staff.
Being able to have some points every day, these points represent food and other supplies.
And there is no need to worry about being robbed. This sense of security comes from the strength of the big camphor tree base.
Boom boom boom——
A pickup truck drove out of the trading market.
The car was quiet, and no one spoke.
It seemed that he was still immersed in the uneasy and excited emotions just now.
Xiao Hao, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, turned his head and looked at the trading market that was getting farther and farther away, and his emotions were still fluctuating.
"Just, just came out like this?"
"Just came out like this!"
He asked himself and answered himself. He was originally worried that he would be robbed by others after entering.
But he didn't expect it to be so smooth. Not only did he get the medicine he wanted, but he also got fuel and the salt he urgently needed.
"Dad, are we really going to this trading market later?" Xiao Hao asked.
The car was very broken. As the car drove, the wind kept blowing in the windshield with a hole in it.
The man with gray hair sitting in the co-pilot was staring at the hole in a daze, but his mind was spinning wildly.
"What?" Hearing Xiao Hao's question, he came back to his senses.
"Are we really going to the trading market?" Xiao Hao asked again, repeating the previous question.
"Yeah."
Xie Dongming nodded heavily, "We have experienced so many natural disasters before, it's really..."
He took a deep breath and sighed and continued:
"It's really too difficult!"
"They are definitely not talking nonsense when they publicize the natural disaster. Besides, they are such a big force and there is no need to deceive us."
"It may be difficult to survive this thunderstorm disaster by relying on our own strength."
"What do you think?"
At the end, he looked at the others.
In fact, his thoughts have been expressed, but he did not directly say that he would go.
Although he is the leader of the team, sometimes he has to listen to other people's opinions.
Xie Dongming's sister was the first to respond: "I think we can go."
His brother-in-law nodded and said: "I think so too. Everyone has been there just now. I personally feel that the people in this trading market should not be robbing each other. After all, they should not look down on our small things."
"Yeah."
Xie Dongming nodded and looked at Zhu Ziming.
Zhu Ziming is one of the core figures in the team. Before the end of the world, he was a master in the survival world. After the outbreak of the end of the world, he played an extremely important role in the team.
Zhu Ziming saw Xie Dongming looking at him and understood that he wanted him to express his opinion.
After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"Brother Dongming, I have no objection."
He personally didn't want to go, but Xie Dongming and he had a brotherly relationship. After decades of friendship, he agreed.
He understood that Xie Dongming might be taking care of his wife, because in a natural disaster, if he encountered zombies, a person who could not move could basically be sentenced to death.
But if you can enter the trading market, there are strict review mechanisms and management, as well as tall walls and a strong team. It will be much safer than being outside.
After hearing that they all had no objections, Xie Dongming breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhu Ziming agreed, it would be very easy to convince the rest of the people when he returned.
The car was speeding, the road was bumpy, and the car door made a creaking sound.
In the oil city.
Li Yu returned to the central residential building, his own room.
Compared with other rooms in the oil city, his room is relatively good.
There is a separate bathroom and toilet, and a small hall.
However, the oil city was just an oil factory after all, and there was basically no design and decoration inside.
Compared with the city lord's mansion in the north and the residence in the big camphor tree base, this room is too different.
There is no electric massage chair, no bathtub, and the toilet is still a squat toilet.
Li Yu sat on the sofa near the window and took out a box of cigars from the luggage bag at his feet.
He put it in front of his nose and smelled it, thinking in his mind, I wonder how Xiao Jun is doing.
Southern Paradise.
On the terrace of a building in the city, there are several rattan chairs and tables.
Four or five people sat in a circle.
Xiao Jun, who was sitting next to Ma Yingxue, suddenly sneezed.
Oh, cut!
Xiao Jun sniffed his nose, raised his head and continued to say to Tiger Lord:
"Tiger Lord, please listen to my advice. This thunderstorm disaster is very serious. Our city lord came to the trading market to inspect it in person."
Next to him.
Ma Yingxue looked anxious, nodded repeatedly and said to Tiger Lord:
"Godfather, please go to the Oil City with us. No matter how many things there are, they are not as important as life. Now there is still time, we can try to transport them there."
Tiger Lord looked calm, looking at the two of them, his eyes full of relief.
Before his old brother Ma Dong died, he gave Ma Yingxue to him to take care of.
I am old now, and now Ma Yingxue has Xiao Jun to rely on, which can be regarded as an understanding of my wish.
"I appreciate your kindness, the kindness of City Lord Li, but I can't leave here, there are so many brothers in Southern Paradise."
Xiao Jun hurriedly said: "Master Tiger, you are wrong, you can take the brothers of Southern Paradise with you."
Master Tiger smiled and still shook his head.
At this time, the madman who had been sitting opposite Xiao Jun and had not spoken a word spoke.
"Master Tiger, you go, I am here in Southern Paradise, and it will not be taken away by others."
"It just so happens that the indoor plantation is still sowing new crops, it is best for me to stay here."
"You don't need to leave too many people for me, only fifty people are needed."
He knew that the most important reason why Master Tiger didn't want to leave was that he was worried that he would not be able to come back after leaving.
And there are some very heavy things here that can't be taken away.
In addition, they took a month to move the medicines from the pharmaceutical factory.
Now there are only ten days, and there is no time to move them all.
Maybe there are some other reasons, but he doesn't know much about them.
But he knows that if the natural disaster is real, it is a good thing for Tiger Lord and his team to leave with a large force.
Because compared with the Oil City, the defense of their Southern Paradise is indeed inferior.
Although the height of the wall is similar to that of the current trading market, they do not have the Oil City formation, nor the electric-driven mobile gate knife, and do not have such a powerful firepower output.
But if Tiger Lord and his team stay, the scale of thousands of people will definitely attract a large number of zombies.
But if only fifty people stay, even if the wall can't bear it, they can hide in the basement to survive.
When Tiger Lord heard what the madman said, his expression was a little surprised, and at the same time a little strange.
He was naturally very clear that the more people there were, the more zombies would be attracted.
There was no basement in the South Paradise that was big enough to accommodate thousands of people.
Seeing that Tiger Lord was moving a little, Madman said:
"Tiger Lord, you should also think about your grandson."
Tiger Lord's weakness was his grandson. His son died a few years ago, and his grandson only had him as his grandfather.
He also only had his grandson as a relative.
Taking a deep breath, Tiger Lord slowly exhaled.
"Okay."
"Madman."
He looked at Madman seriously and said:
"Then I will give you our hard work over the years. You must pay attention to safety. I will give you the radio station that City Lord Li gave me. When I go to Oil City, you can contact Captain Ju and others."
"In addition, I will only take 20% of the fuel, and the rest will be left to you."
Tiger Lord explained a lot, and Madman listened quietly without interrupting.
Ma Yingxue and Xiao Jun, who were sitting opposite the madman, instantly melted their solemn expressions after hearing that Tiger Lord would go to Oil City.
Ma Yingxue suppressed her inner joy and turned to the madman and said:
"Uncle Crazy, if you stay here, I will hand over the team I led before to you. It happens that you are familiar with them."
There was a conspiracy in the South Paradise at the beginning, and Tiger Lord was almost driven out by his old brother Scar.
At that time, the madman wanted to protect himself and make Tiger Lord's position more stable.
So he handed over part of his team to Chen Er and part to Ma Yingxue.
At the same time, he demoted himself to the planting department, specializing in indoor planting.
After more than a year, there are some results.
One quarter has been harvested, and the next step is to expand the scale and start planting.
In addition, since the madman handed over his men to Ma Yingxue at the beginning.
So.
It can be said that most of the people under Ma Yingxue are the former men of the madman.
The madman did not reject Ma Yingxue's proposal.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay."
He thought very openly. It has been so long since the end of the world. He is a cripple and can do little. Living one day is a day's profit.
Half an hour later.
The madman got up and walked downstairs.
Walking on the main road of South Paradise, he looked at the South Paradise that was built bit by bit at the beginning, and sighed.
Today's South Paradise is different from three years ago. At that time, South Paradise could be said to be strong and powerful, dominating the surrounding areas of South City, and no small group dared to offend them.
However, with the natural disasters, their strength was extremely consumed.
In addition, many people were killed and injured in the last internal struggle, which reduced their manpower even more.
Bullets will always run out and cannot be replenished.
They are reluctant to use bullets now, and most of the time they can only use cold weapons.
After all, not every force can be like the big camphor tree base.
Grow against the trend.
Li Yu used foresight to accumulate small victories into big ones.
In the early stage, they had been hiding in the camphor tree base. Although the number of people was small, they had been accumulating strength.
They had accumulated for five years, and used their foresight to avoid countless natural disasters.
In addition, the military map they got brought them a huge amount of resources.
The dragon in the abyss rises with the wind.
Today's camphor tree base is like a tiger that has been sleeping for five years and is now going down the mountain.
"Master Tiger, then we will go back first. We will wait for you at the trading market."
"In addition, I will give a heads-up to the transportation team in advance and ask you to send more people to the South Paradise to help with the transportation."
In the open space of the South Paradise, Xiao Jun said goodbye to Master Tiger.
Master Tiger smiled at the two and said:
"Don't worry, you go back, otherwise it will be too late to go back."
"Okay." Xiao Jun said no more and took Ma Yingxue on the helicopter.
Ma Yingxue looked at Master Tiger reluctantly and stepped on the helicopter back to Oil City.
