#262 - Chapter 262 Dispatching
Night.
Dinner time.
The busy Green Source Base finally came to a halt, enjoying a rare moment of leisure for dinner.
Needless to say, the main base personnel can enjoy a standard meal of two dishes and a soup, and they can eat their fill every meal in this post-apocalyptic world.
However, the sub-base is a bit worse off.
The personnel at the sub-base are still level 3. Only after completing the assigned tasks can they be given the day's meal.
A bowl of rice + a small amount of vegetables.
There are not many dishes either. They are arranged according to the vegetables and fruits planted by the Green Source Base in the current season, but they are stir-fried with more oil and salt, and occasionally a little minced meat is added to the dishes.
If there is meat in the dishes on any given day, that day's dish will be jokingly called a 'big dish' by everyone.
It has a bit of a 'making the best of a bad situation' feel to it.
A bowl of rice may give them more than 60% to 70% of their fullness, but it is already a treatment that countless survivors outside are extremely envious of.
God knows how much those survivors outside want to get the opportunity to work at the sub-base.
Currently, there are only about 300 level 3 personnel at the sub-base, and some people have been dispatched to Shan City to transport coal and to the Zhu City oil base to help.
Usually, the construction of the sub-base is mostly done by level 2 personnel transferred from the residential area.
It is foreseeable that when the sub-base is completed, many personnel will be 'unemployed'.
This can't be helped.
Unless Green Source has new large-scale task arrangements again.
Most Green Source survivors still covet this kind of long-term work at Green Source.
At least it's better than looking for supplies everywhere to trade for food.
It is said that many people have died from encountering zombies while searching for supplies.
No one is to blame. There is no fairness in this world.
Whoever has the bigger fist, their words will be listened to.
"Have you heard? Tomorrow, Green Source will transfer another 30 level 3 personnel to go on a business trip to perform tasks outside!"
"I heard! I really envy those level 3 personnel who have combat capabilities. They can go out with Green Source's combat troops to perform high-score missions!"
"Who says otherwise! I heard that some of them have almost accumulated enough points to apply for an upgrade to level 4 personnel!"
In a level 3 personnel dormitory in the sub-base, several men were chatting and killing time in the dormitory corridor after dinner.
"Alas~ When will I be promoted to a level 4 personnel? That way, I will have a guaranteed supply of food, and I won't have to worry about starving to death in the future."
One of the men, who had a beard and was dressed fairly neatly, said.
He had only arrived at Green Source a month ago. Because he had advanced electrician skills, he obtained the status of a level 3 personnel, and since then he had escaped from his original hellish situation.
Looking back on the past six months, he felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as hell.
Every day, he was hiding, afraid, and worried, not knowing when he would die in the mouth of a zombie, or starve or freeze to death in some unnoticed corner.
He was a survivor who picked up a leaflet issued by the Green Source Base at the end of last year and struggled through the winter to find it.
"Take your time. As long as you enter the sub-base, work hard in the future, and accumulate points, you will always be able to be promoted to level 4 one day!"
The roommate next to him, whose situation was similar to his before, comforted him.
Indeed.
As long as you come here and don't make any mistakes, there will always be opportunities in the future.
At least now you have safe housing and reliable protection.
"Yes, let's work hard in the future. Maybe one day we can become level 5 personnel and marry a wife! Haha!"
The people next to him laughed.
Who says otherwise.
Becoming a level 5 personnel, not only can you eat your fill, but you can also bring an outsider into here!
For those men and women who have no relatives, it is normal to find a partner of the opposite sex!
Now, as long as a level 5 personnel beckons, God knows how many people outside will desperately agree.
Life has hope.
*****\n
Inside the Green Source main base.
The combat team members who had finished dinner were already making preparations for tomorrow's expedition in full swing.
Vehicles, personnel, supplies, overnight locations, weapons and equipment, etc.
All need to be planned.
In this era, every outing is a challenge, let alone going to a remote place six or seven hundred kilometers away.
"Have the external assistants been found!? They must all be able to drive!"
"Drive two fuel tankers out! Fully loaded! We are dispatching a total of 35 vehicles this time! Be sure to bring all the treasures back in one go!"
"It's not easy to find fuel outside now, we must prepare it ourselves!"
Now, Liu Wenhao's team has gone to Shan City, Zhang Tiankai's team has gone to Zhu City, and there are three combat teams remaining at the base.
Tomorrow, two teams will be arranged to take 30 external assistants and ten main base personnel to perform this arms operation mission.
Nearly 50 people will depart!
The base is actively preparing for this mission.
Even though so many people have left, there are still many personnel remaining at the base. The defense force will not be too weak due to the decrease in personnel. Not only is there a combat team left, but the ever-strengthening security team is not to be trifled with either.
Some people at the sub-base know that there will be another business trip tomorrow, but no one will know what the specific task is. Apart from the team leaders, ordinary team members only know a rough idea, let alone the external assistants who can only obey orders.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day.
The sky was only slightly bright at six o'clock.
It was a cloudy day.
Entering April, the season of plum rains has arrived. It looks like it might rain today.
But that alone cannot stop today's expedition mission!
In the isolation zone of the two bases, the vehicles were fully packed and ready last night.
Two anti-riot police cars, two fuel tankers, thirty various trucks and heavy trucks, and an armored vehicle.
All have been modified, reinforced, and soundproofed.
This trip is a long one, six to seven hundred kilometers, and it will be difficult to reach Yucheng Daliang Mountain on the same day.
Even though road information was recorded yesterday and the best route has been sorted out, theoretically they need to rush at full speed to barely arrive.
Today, Li Bowen and Zhong Yu will lead the team to Yucheng, and Chen Junchi will continue to stay at the base.
Qin Jin did not plan to travel with the team. He has other arrangements.
"Everyone confirm that there are no problems, then we will set off immediately!"
Except for those external assistants who are participating in the external mission for the first time and are a little nervous, the team members who have been prepared for a long time will naturally have no problems.
Not a single zombie can be seen outside the gate now. Personnel have already cleaned it up.
The gate was wide open, and two anti-riot vehicles took the lead and filed out, followed closely by all the vehicles behind.
A long line of cars slowly drove away from the Green Source Base and embarked on the journey again. They will still choose to take the highway.
At this time.
At the main base's helipad.
An armed helicopter was already prepared.
Qin Jin appeared here, greeted Xia Yan in the driver's seat, and then the helicopter's propeller accelerated and slowly lifted off, flying in one direction.
He is going to the oil base first to deal with something!
