Chapter 191 Overcrowded
Having said that, the remaining 328 ordinary survivors all passed the interview.
Anyone who had worked in construction-related jobs was accepted, even the aunties who cooked in the construction site canteen.
Of course, the reason for accepting all the requests is very simple. Besides the fact that the shelter is indeed short of people, it is for the sake of "publicity"!
Everyone who came for an interview today was rewarded with a supply package!
30 kilograms of rice, 2 cans of meat, 10 eggs, a military coat, and a quilt.
These supplies are what the survivors need most right now!
There is nothing much to say about the food, it is just a necessity for survival.
The important thing is cold-weather supplies!
Many survivors were fleeing during extremely hot weather or floods, and no one thought of bringing any cold-weather supplies.
Even if they thought of it, they couldn't bring it here due to various reasons. If they could make it to the shelter alive, they were lucky to have escaped death!
How can I care about those material things?
Therefore, cold-resistant supplies are extremely important at this moment!
Everyone came for the interview empty-handed, and left with a full load. Everyone had a happy smile on their face, as if they had picked up money!
Many people say that this is a “two-way race” between survivors and shelters.
------------
The next day, the news that the shelter leadership personally received the interviewees and distributed material rewards spread throughout the shelter after a night of "fermentation".
Some saw the interviewees returning with supplies with their own eyes, but most of the survivors only heard about it from hearsay.
They didn't care whether the news was true or not. They all wanted to give it a try, thinking that it was better to believe it than not.
Survivors who met the recruitment requirements rushed to the administrative hall and lined up early before dawn.
The survivors who did not meet the requirements were extremely envious and could only watch helplessly.
There are also some people who, after learning that they can still get supplies even if they fail the interview, don't care whether they meet the recruitment requirements or not, and run directly to the recruitment site without saying a word, wanting to try their luck.
Wouldn't it be great if I could take advantage of the situation and get some supplies for free?
At 7 o'clock in the morning, a broadcast was heard in the shelter:
"Attention, residents. Attention, residents. The recruitment time for the city wall construction project is from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. The deadline is three days from now. Residents who meet the requirements should hurry up and sign up. No more waiting after the deadline! No more waiting after the deadline! In addition, all residents who participate in the city wall construction project will be given material rewards. Residents are welcome to sign up!"
The people queuing at the scene became excited when they heard this announcement!
"Wow! That's great! The authorities really will give out material rewards!"
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? I saw it yesterday. Those who went for the interview brought back a lot of stuff."
"I endured the cold all morning, and it was worth it!"
"Hubby, did you hear that? There really are material rewards!"
"That's great! I finally have a thick quilt to cover myself with. I've been freezing these past few days!"
Their attention was completely drawn to the material rewards, and they did not notice the premise for distributing the materials mentioned in the broadcast.
However, there are also some who are thoughtful.
"Eh? Did you hear that? The broadcast said that only those who participate in the project can get supplies. So can we get the supplies today?"
"Oh, that's right! If I don't pass the interview, I won't get it, right?"
"Why do you care so much? We are already here! How can we know if we don't try?"
"Please God bless me, please God bless me! Please let me pass the interview!"
Of course, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and became worried after hearing the broadcast.
But they all held on to a lucky chance and no one was willing to leave. They had already waited in line for so long and it wouldn't matter if they waited a little longer.
Comprehensive Administration Building
The service hall was packed with people, and the outside was also surrounded by "active" survivors, with no way to get through. The line even stretched to the end of the street.
In order to avoid crowds and stampedes, soldiers from the military district were dispatched to maintain order at the scene.
Official staff members, holding loudspeakers, shuttled back and forth in the long queue.
"Everyone, please pay attention. If you don't meet the recruitment requirements, please don't queue up. Please cooperate and don't waste your own and others' time. Please leave on your own!"
When registering at the front, we encountered several people who just wanted to "join in the fun", which made the staff work in vain. In order to avoid wasting time and affecting other interviewees, we had to send someone to explain everything in advance.
After hearing the news, some survivors who wanted to take advantage of the situation left with their heads down, looking back every few steps.
They felt even more regretful in their hearts, wondering why they didn't come yesterday when there were fewer people around!
If I had come yesterday, maybe I could have gotten something back!
But there is no use regretting. There is only one chance, and if you miss it, it is missed.
Moreover, they didn't really want to contribute to the shelter, they just wanted to get some benefits.
The queue was not affected by the departure of these people, and there was still a constant stream of people queuing up.
There were always new survivors joining at the end of the team. They were not sure whether there would be material rewards at first, but came over after hearing the broadcast and confirming it.
The interview scene
The workplace of Lu Jingcheng and Li Luo was moved to the lobby on the second floor of the administrative building.
The first level is registration information and preliminary screening, the second level is assessment of special abilities and further screening, and the third level is finalization of the list.
In order to speed up the process, the interviewees were divided into groups of 10 and asked to demonstrate their abilities together.
The requirements of Li Luo and the others also became stricter. All psychics had to be above level 2 and be able to use their abilities skillfully before they could pass the assessment.
However, there are exceptions. Although some psychics are only at level one, their proficiency has reached MAX, and they will also be considered as passed by Li Luo.
In this way, the entire interview process proceeded in an orderly manner.
------------
Time flies, three days have passed.
During these three days, the shelter successfully recruited a total of survivors.
Among them, there are people with special abilities, and the rest are all construction workers.
Although they did not receive any material rewards during the interview, they were still very excited when they heard that they would receive materials both after starting and completing the project.
It doesn’t matter if it’s less, it’s their fault for going late, as long as they can get the reward later!
Of course, the happiest people are the survivors who were interviewed on the first day, as they can get three waves of material rewards.
Moreover, they were commended by the shelter, and each of them was given a certificate of honor for outstanding contribution and a badge of honor.
