#586 - Chapter 586: Dongguan City Trading Point
Time flies.
Unknowingly, it's already late September.
The zombie tide that attacked the Green Source Base has passed for over half a month, and the base is developing steadily according to the planned route.
At the construction site of the original life zone, a large group of Level 1 personnel are working diligently.
Without the previous high temperatures, the comfort level of everyone's work has increased by many degrees.
Recently, the rainy weather has finally subsided, and a rare sunny day has appeared today.
But the temperature is only maintained in a relatively pleasant range of twenty-seven or eight degrees.
It's autumn.
Entering this season, according to the original pace of Blue Star during peacetime, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days.
Of course, there is no way there will be this holiday for the personnel to rest now.
Even if the base wanted to give a holiday, those Level 1 and 2 personnel in the Green Source Zone wouldn't agree.
Currently, personnel in the small residential area can only come to the life zone for work every other day, and they are free to go out and search for supplies on the alternating days.
The base's current food supply is not unlimited.
Qin Jin doesn't plan to let everyone eat their fill.
If the survivors are full, they will have ideas, and it will be difficult to manage them.
So it's better to give them some personal time to find some survival supplies in the wild.
Or rent the base's cars to go further afield to find supplies and trade with the base.
The base doesn't have much, but it has enough cars and fuel.
The oil base and the Shanshi coal shelter naturally resumed resource transportation after the drought ended.
At this time, the amount of fuel and coal stored in the Green Source Base has been continuously increasing.
Taking some out to rent to these personnel at a low price is conducive to enriching everyone's survival diversity.
The timid can stay at home on their days off.
The bold and ambitious can rent a car to take a chance, find supplies, and exchange them for food and other necessities.
Anyway, after the last wave of super-large-scale zombie tides, not to mention the entire Guangyuan City, even the zombies in the nearby cities have been greatly reduced.
This can be said to be the best period to search the surrounding two-hundred-kilometer radius.
The base encourages everyone to go out and try their luck during their rest time, so as not to benefit other survivors outside.
Some of the women and children who were taken in during the previous drought have been sent back outside the Green Source Zone to reunite with their families, while more have chosen to stay in the small residential area.
Not for free, though.
They need to complete a certain amount of work within three months to repay the rescue assistance they received here.
And they are not given the qualification of Level 1 personnel.
They also need to work here for a full year, and only if there are no major mistakes during the process will they have the opportunity to become regular employees in the future.
It sounds like a long time, but don't forget that the apocalypse is almost over a year, and as long as you persevere, perhaps this one year will pass.
In short.
The vast majority of the women and children who came in before have chosen to stay here.
Wan City.
This once very prosperous quasi-first-tier city has long been much deserted after experiencing various disasters.
The originally dense population has become a breeding ground for zombies.
Many super-large shelters established in the early days of the apocalypse have disappeared under the impact of the later zombie mist and zombie tides.
Instead, some new, much smaller shelters or small bases have formed.
Suburbs.
Near a driving school that was originally relatively remote, several figures are walking slowly.
They are separated from each other by a certain distance, vigilantly guarding against others.
These people are survivors from the surrounding area of Wan City, and they are not from the same team.
Or rather, it would be more appropriate to say that they are all independent survivors.
"Everyone understands the rules here, right!? Entering this range is under jurisdiction and protection! Don't have any thoughts you shouldn't!"
One of the disheveled middle-aged men, carrying a similarly dirty backpack on his back, warned the survivors he met on the road.
They are some people who came here today to trade materials with the Green Source Exchange!
"Understood! Of course, we understand! This place is protected! Anyone who dares to make a move will be hunted down by them! We are just here to exchange for some life-saving supplies, let's go our separate ways!"
Another younger, thirty-something man with a bird's nest-like head interjected.
There are as many as seven or eight survivors walking towards the driving school, and there are even two women among them!
They are separated from each other by a certain distance, each carrying a backpack or bag towards the driving school.
There.
There is hope for them to survive.
That was half a month ago.
One day, a place called the Green Source Exchange suddenly appeared, and there were some fully armed people inside!
There was a notice board erected there, listing a large number of materials that could be brought here for trading!
Green Source Base!
This force, which was once famous in Guangnan Province some time ago, has actually come here to establish a trading branch!
At first, most survivors were skeptical.
Because according to what was written on the announcement, how much food and other urgently needed supplies would this place called Green Source need to take out!?
They actually wanted to exchange for some electronic products, technical data, special metals, and so on!
Even talents can recommend themselves!
Looking like they won't refuse anyone!
Independent survivors were ecstatic.
Regardless of how much grain this Green Source Base has to exchange for how long, at least the first batch of people to trade won't lose out!
That day, someone tentatively sent some materials that they originally couldn't use but Green Source needed into this driving school, and the next day they actually got the corresponding grain from the trade!
This is real!
This Green Source is really doing material trading!
If hearing the news at first was ecstasy, then after confirming its authenticity, it was madness!
Since Green Source also sent people to fly helicopters to distribute leaflets, the news couldn't be suppressed at all.
Soon all the well-informed survivors in the surrounding area knew about this shocking and exciting news!
The road to survival has once again added a path!
And it is a very strong and hopeful one!
In the following two days, hundreds of survivors who received the news came one after another to request a transaction.
The combat troops and peacekeeping troops sent by Green Source naturally did not refuse anyone and registered them one after another.
Then let people slowly distribute the corresponding needs to these survivors.
This is just the beginning, it is conceivable that there will inevitably be more survivors coming to trade later.
Back to the present.
These seven or eight survivors are the survivors who came to the Green Source Exchange here to trade materials!
After entering the entrance of this simple trading point built on the basis of the driving school, they saw two armed personnel standing with guns!
"We are here to trade, please let us in."
The cautious middle-aged man said to one of the personnel.
