Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 80 The intersection of four zombie waves
It was getting dark, but the inner city gates and the market area were still very busy. There were rows of tables at the three gates. The professional smiles on the faces of the customer service girls who were doing business had disappeared. It was not that they wanted to change their expressions, but... they were just too tired!
A whole day of high-intensity work, coupled with survivors of varying qualities and an atmosphere of constant urging, will make even the best-tempered customer service staff irritable and eventually put on a mask of pain.
All I can say is that anyone who can handle such a job must have extremely high physical and mental qualities.
Shen Jin could imagine that these customer service girls would complain when they went home tonight, "It's all Boss Shen's fault. After working all day, they can't even stand steadily..."
Suddenly, the lights came on!
The industrial module's [fluorescent lamp] has an excellent effect, consumes little power, has a wide lighting range, and the light is close to sunlight, making people feel comfortable and natural.
Work had to continue tonight. There was no eight-hour workday in the apocalypse. One of the beautiful customer service staff had been working all day and her voice was a little hoarse. While the two people behind her were arguing over the queue, she quickly sent a message to a male colleague who was also in the internal affairs and administration department, "Brother Liu, go to the hospital and buy me some medicine to reduce internal heat. I'm reporting a work injury!"
The people hired by Shen Jin can get free medicine for work-related injuries. These customer service representatives all belong to the internal administration department. As for why he is looking for male colleagues, it is because... the female colleagues are all out to receive customers today.
Lao Liu is a middle-aged man in his 30s. He has been living with his wife since the end of the world. They managed to survive until Shen Jin's rescue without any major disasters. The two have always been grateful for being able to spend such a difficult time with their loved ones, so their relationship is particularly good.
Old Liu was in the office, typing in and sorting out the information about the survivors who registered today. After receiving the message from the customer service girl, he went directly to the hospital to get medicine. The doctor gave him two bags of "666 Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Granules". He hurriedly gave them to the customer service girl. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang, "Ding Di~!"
When his wife called, Lao Liu quickly answered the phone. Because he was now working in the Internal Affairs and Administration Department, where there were many pretty girls, his wife was always worried that he would cheat on her, so if he didn't answer the phone after three rings, she would definitely interrogate him.
Lao Liu said he wanted to resign, but his wife wouldn't let him because this was a public position in the No. 1 Home, which not everyone could get. Lao Liu got this position because he came to the base early. The salary was very good, and he could earn enough for two people.
"Hey, honey, I'm at the inner city gate. I have to work overtime tonight, so I have to go home late. You know , the boss is busy today because he is issuing currency..."
At this time, the customer service girl had just finished processing the ID card for a bad-tempered person. When she saw the two packets of "666 Clearing Heat and Stopping Cough Granules" placed by Lao Liu on the table, she immediately became unhappy and complained, "Brother Liu, I don't have any water now, why did you buy the granules?"
Old Liu: “…”
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then a pig-killing roar broke out: "Liu Tiegen! You shameless thing!!!"
The scene was very chaotic...
The ID card, currency and transactions of Home No. 1 continued until 9 o'clock in the evening. Today, a total of 31,000 ID cards were processed, 310,000 Home Coins were issued, 50,000 Home Coins were exchanged at the resource recycling station, and a large amount of useful materials were purchased.
The circulation of money was very fast. Shen Jin counted the money from the trading box himself and found that out of the 310,000 Home Coins, he had collected 280,000!
After getting the money, most people exchanged it for food or crystal cores because they were not optimistic about the currency issuance this time and believed that Shen Jin's food was at risk of being run. So after getting the money, they immediately exchanged these 10 beautiful coins for food to avoid wasting their time and the base would be cut off from relief porridge. These 10 kilograms of food could at least last for two weeks.
At the same time, out of the 31,000 people today, about 20,000 have signed up for the jobs provided by Shang Qian. Among them, the largest number are growers, because there is no threshold for this and the income is no lower than other industries. The vast majority of pseudo-supernormal people did not participate in the work. Compared with the stable but low-income jobs inside, they prefer the high returns and high risks outside.
Especially after the recycling store opened, their various supplies could be exchanged for No. 1 Home Money, and then they could buy most of the things they wanted.
"Finally... we have returned to the market economy from self-sufficiency and barter model. This feeling... is really good." Lu Renyi and the other two did not enroll in Academy No. 1 because they were over the age limit. Ninth sister even wanted to pretend to be a minor, but was directly broken by the word "Auntie" from the young man in charge of admissions.
"Hey~! Brother Yi's words are really good. I know that in this home, money can buy everything! Not only can I buy food, but also meat and canned fruit. It's really fucking awesome!"
The seventh brother was holding a bag of pork, swinging it back and forth in his hand, looking particularly proud, "Seventh brother, can I eat more pork today? I'm still growing." The ninth sister shook the seventh brother's sturdy arm, and then was thrown away, "Ninth sister, you should eat less. You're already a fat woman. If you eat more, no one will want you!"
Ninth sister: “???”
“Hahahaha~!”
"Kukuku~!"
The laughter of Lu Renyi and Lao Qi echoed in Home No. 1. Many pseudo-superhumans felt that a new era... was coming!
…
Late at night, it is time for the zombie tide observation team of Tianluodiwang to rest, because most of the zombies will stop and fall into hibernation at night. The satellites in the sky cannot provide high-precision images due to the darkness, nor can they form accurate real-time analysis charts. But today, Yu Qi, the leader of the zombie tide observation team, was lying on the table thinking about something, "If the zombie tide is moving to crowded places, then the larger settlements will face more zombie tide shocks as time goes on, and the survivors are safer when they gather together, but... the zombie tide will also gather because of the gathering of the survivors..."
The satellite analysis chart at night was very inaccurate. He opened the recent zombie tide trend chart and kept zooming in and out across the country. "Sure enough... the zombie tide has begun to close in . The earlier the large settlements are formed, the more obvious the trend of the zombie tide closing in around them will be. If this continues... there will likely be tens of millions of zombies in the future! By then... except for nuclear bombs, no one can cure them, right?"
"No, there is an S-class tech psychic who can make some kind of high-explosive mines. If used properly, they can be as effective as nuclear bombs against mentally retarded groups like zombies!"
He thought of the man in Q City, who had driven away 200,000 zombies without any soldiers. His strength was so terrifying!
This kind of achievement has not been achieved by anyone in the country so far...
He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the area of H Province. "Hiss! Something seems to be wrong. The direction of movement of these four waves of corpses..."
There were originally four unrelated zombie hordes on the map, but Yu Qi discovered something fishy. He called up the zombie horde action records for the past week, and then drew a horizontal line through the movement trajectories of the four zombie hordes, and they unexpectedly intersected at one point!
"Oh no! They are targeting the same place!"
…
“Ding ding ding~!”
The satellite phone on Shen Jin's waist rang.
