Around Heron Island, humans are building huge walls along the coastline. The city wall under construction was divided into dozens of construction sites and built in sections. This is a huge construction project.
To this end, the leaders of the base recruited a large number of laborers to transform the island into a strong sea fortress.
Heron Island had a large armed force stationed at the beginning of the arrival of the Demon Seed. Therefore, the management power of the entire island is relatively centralized at present, and it is in the hands of Fu Guoxu's uncle Fu Jianjun and several other insiders of the original system.
They are armed with powerful thermal weapons and have disciplined and well-trained soldiers. Only in this way can he expel monsters with such a rapid and efficient efficiency, organize the construction of the Ludao Fortress, and provide a safe place for the residents of this side.
The sky is still blue-grey, and the east is slightly pale,
In front of the construction site of a certain section of the city wall, many people have gathered one after another. Most of them were strong men, yawning or squatting or standing, looking lazily and waiting.
Suddenly, these people all stood up and rushed in a certain direction.
A middle-aged woman with a short stature in her forties walked over among the crowd. She had a "decent" dress that was completely different from the muddy workers on the construction site. With her high curly hair permed, lipstick on her mouth, a dress that was not suitable for her age was draped over her bloated body.
She looked at the muddy soil under her feet because of the rain last night, frowned and stopped.
Immediately, someone diligently took several thick paper sheets and spread them on the ground, "Sister Cai, don't step on your shoes when you walk here."
Sister Cai raised her chin, walked over the paper, and sat down behind a square table.
The men who were courting around her quickly lined up at the table. These people may be white-collar workers or executives of a certain company before the end of the world. They can only rely on betrayal because they don't know how to work on the construction site. strength, do the hardest and most tiring effort to survive.
An adult man is busy on the construction site from early morning until night falls, but he can only receive rough food for one person.
Even so, this is a rare stable job on the island, and not everyone can get it.
The front row was occupied by several strong men, and many people in the back tried their best to cut in front.
Sister Cai tapped the stainless steel water cup on the table with an iron spoon, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and arrange, and whoever makes trouble again, don't ask for a lead card."
The procession quickly quieted down and lined up in neat rows.
"Today we need 100 strong workers." Sister Cai took out a thick stack of work cards. Only after receiving the work cards from her and completing a day's work such as digging soil, moving bricks, and sifting sand, can they get off work. At that time, with the work card signed by the foreman, I came back here to receive two unreasonably hard dough cakes. And these two pieces of bread are all that an adult can get after a hard day's work.
The man who received the work card was full of laughter, nodded and bowed in thanks, and carefully flattered the sister Cai in front of him.
This sister Cai's family has some background in the base, and arranged for her such a job with a small power, but it is such a small power that can determine the fate of hundreds of people in this era.
She was quite proud in her heart, and slowly expanded her heart in the daily compliments of everyone, feeling that she was indeed a great person.
With his head held high, he picked the workers arrogantly.
"You, no. Too old, next." She pointed at the man in front of her and waved.
"I can, big girl, I used to be a porter. Look at the muscles in my shoulders." The middle-aged man with gray hair rolled up his sleeves.
Sister Cai snorted impatiently, "If you tell me to go, just leave, there are so many words."
Immediately, several men rushed up, dragged him away, and punched and kicked him.
"Sister Cai dares to talk back when she speaks, but she doesn't know the good or the bad."
"Please give me a chance. I also have a wife with a broken leg at home. I don't work this day, and both of them will be hungry."
Sister Cai rolled her eyes and glanced lazily at the next person in the line.
The man in front of him was wearing shabby clothes, and his head and face were not very clean, but his legs were slender and his bones were well-proportioned.
Sister Cai's eyes lit up, raised her eyebrows, and turned her gaze around the man's body a few times, stopping on his slender legs.
"You don't need to move bricks, come and do something for me later." She twisted a red card, nodded on the table with a smile, and pointed her chin to a tin house on the construction site behind her. place to rest.
Several people behind the man all showed envious eyes, and someone pushed him: "It's good luck, little white face, I made Sister Cai happy, and I don't have to go to work this day to get an extra piece of cake."
Zhong Hongfei looked at the bright red card in front of him, his face was blue and then white, the red card was twisted by two bloated fingers, and he shook it in front of him. , the reward is only three pieces of bread.
Yesterday, he was at another construction site, and the foreman deducted a piece of bread from him. He kept the only cake at home for his younger sister. He was hungry all day and didn't eat anything. If he couldn't get food today, he might not even have the strength to go to the construction site tomorrow.
If he wants his sister and himself to live, he may have to give in before these three noodles.
Zhong Hongfei graduated from a well-known domestic college and worked in a well-known tertiary hospital in Ludao. He is the youngest attending doctor in the hospital. Before the end of the day, he was also a young man with high ambition and high spirits. Unexpectedly, the sky and the earth changed color, and the parents died tragically in the catastrophe. Only then did he realize that he was powerless, and in such a world, he couldn't even support his only sister.
Sister Cai's face sank, and the red card was tapped on the table: "Don't be ignorant."
Zhong Hongfei's hand was tightly clenched into a fist by his side, his knuckles were turning white, he forced himself to raise his hand, almost touching the card.
"I'm sorry, I don't want this job anymore." He finally withdrew his hand and turned to leave in the eyes of countless people looking at fools.
***
Chu Qianxun, Ye Peitian, Gao Yan, Yan Xue and others were walking on the empty and car-free road. They and Fu Guoxu made an appointment to meet at the dock to participate in a search and rescue activity organized by the base official.
First, she intends to familiarize herself with the situation around Heron Island. Second, as a saint who has lived in the base for a long time, she is obliged to participate in a demon hunting operation organized by al-Qaeda every month.
"Chihiro, I've already inquired about it. Don't look at Ludao's lack of strength, but because of the large number of people, the factional struggle is huge." Gao Yan said as she walked, "The most powerful person in the base is you. The senior's uncle, named Fu Jianjun, is the number one person here. He really wants to build the base. But I heard that the second-in-command Cai Jiaquan doesn't deal with him very well. Neither of them agrees with the other. In addition, there are many other large and small forces in the base. If there is something wrong, there will be some friction, which has led to the chaos here. "
"No matter who it is, don't worry about it, we just have to live our own little life well." Chu Qianxun said lightly, "Today we go, we don't need to show off on purpose, but we don't have to hide it, we want to settle here, Only when we show our real strength, no one will provoke us casually."
Ruined roads and expensive gasoline make the car less of an ideal vehicle.
Instead, cows, horses, and mules slowly become human legs again.
Occasionally, people can be seen driving ox carts leisurely across the asphalt road.
Under a unique arcade building on Ludao on the side of the road, there was a man with a thin face, his face was gray, his eyes were broken, and he leaned weakly against the wall pillar, just like the hungry death that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, hungry. He took all his strength and most of his life force.
Such sights are too many and too common.
When passing by, Chu Qianxun's mind suddenly flashed a familiar fragment of memory.
Once, it was also on Heron Island, and under such an arcade, a hungry self collapsed in the mud.
At that time, a passing doctor squatted down and put a piece of bread in his pocket in his hand.
After a long time, Chu Qianxun learned that the doctor at that time was Zhong Hongfei, a well-known high-level healing saint on Lu Island. He is a famous celebrity, and he is a rare person who has risen to a high rank with an auxiliary power. But when Chu Qianxun needed it most, he squatted down in the mud and extended a helping hand.
Chu Qianxun had no chance to repay that meal, but the gentle smile that the doctor in the white coat showed at that time was buried deep in her heart, so many years later, she still did not forget it.
Chu Qianxun turned around, stared at the man's face for a long time, and crouched down in front of him: "You, are you Doctor Zhong?"
"Is this man familiar?" Gao Yan said to Yan Xue, "I saw it in the alley the day we arrived."
Yan Xue thought for a while: "Well, it's that person."
The author has something to say: Some of the original settings cannot be written in the current environment, so I changed them for a long time today.
Sorry to keep everyone waiting.
