There are many people who sign up because of the generous salary, but after entering the screening process, there are not many people who meet the requirements. Wages are high not only because of the dangerous working environment, but also because of the high technical requirements of the job.
At the end of the strict screening, all the qualified people added up to about 200 people. Compared with the overall demand of 500 people or more, half of the vacancies were not filled. Although it is said that these skilled workers can increase skilled workers through training, it is just that the training cycle is long, and the current resources are limited and cannot withstand much loss. Therefore, it is temporarily decided that these people can only be put into work first, and then later See if there is a faster solution.
As for Ji Cha, the most direct impact of not recruiting more than 500 people is that he has less pressure to cook here, and there is no need to open a new canteen to share the workload, but the food for more than 200 people , the existing canteen can be easily carried in.
There was an old man who was looking for his sister in the base in T city. These days, he came to inquire about the situation from time to time, and he finally got the news that the base in T city had returned in the first two days of October. I'm back, but I have to wait until the next batch of personnel exchanges, the time is calculated to be about mid-October.
As long as I can see my relatives, what can I wait for a few days, the old man returned home gratefully after knowing the news. Before Ji Cha asked people to contact the old man to rent a house, it had been properly arranged. The few empty rooms left in the old man's house were rented out at the market price, which happened to be rented to a few people who worked on the farm. Familiarity, secondly, knowing the basics, and living with the elderly is safer.
Renting out the house kills two birds with one stone. For renters, the house on the old man’s side is actually much better than the apartment building built by the base itself. A room in the apartment building is a room, but the house on the old man’s side is also I rented a room, but in fact the public area is very large, not to mention the courtyard at home is very relaxing. As for the elderly, they don't have any expenses, and they rent out two houses, so even if his sister comes from T City, she can live a stable life even if she doesn't go out to work.
However, things changed.
When Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng were having lunch together, the army vehicle that went out to deliver meals every day came back with a terrible news.
"On the way back, we encountered a zombie group of about a hundred people. Visually, it was diverted from a relatively large zombie army. I don't know if there will be a large zombie group attacking."
Before the soldiers who came to report finished speaking, another guard came over outside to inform: "Captain Liang, there is a radio message from City T."
Liang Jincheng immediately put down his chopsticks and walked out with the soldiers. Ji Cha in the room became nervous for a moment. He chewed the food in his mouth and got up to follow. Zombie attack, hundreds of casualties, please help us."
This is really terrible news, especially when this kind of people feel a little bit of stability, the hammer of reality swung down mercilessly, smashing the superficial stability to pieces, and reminding them: you Still living in an extremely dangerous environment.
"So there really is a large-scale zombie group?" Ji Cha's mood became more and more depressed.
Liang Jincheng nodded affirmatively: "If there is no accident, it may be a much larger group of zombies than we have encountered before."
After this end-time disaster, the rate of people transforming into zombies is much higher than that of normal people, not to mention that many people have assimilated normal people through various methods after transforming into zombies. Country C was originally a country with a large population. After a lot of troubles, the ratio of missing normal people to those lost is less than one to ten. This number of zombies is extremely exaggerated, and it may not even be completely wiped out within a few decades.
Liang Jincheng was about to leave soon: "I want to go out in person, you go back to the factory first, and wait for me to come back."
Ji Cha naturally didn't want him to put himself in danger: "The outside world doesn't know what's going on, or let them go out and find out?"
He knew that it was a little selfish for him to say such a thing, but he couldn't be selfish at this time.
Liang Jincheng reached out to hug Ji Cha, then kissed him on the forehead, looked at Ji Cha with gentle eyes and said, "Don't worry, I won't take any risks for you, as long as you stay home safely and wait for me to come back."
Ji Cha knew that he couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to agree, and returned to the factory that afternoon, and revealed the news of the zombie encounter at the T city base with everyone in the factory during dinner.
Everyone was surprised at first, and then turned into calm. After all, such things are too normal after the end of the world, but it's just that when the calm returns to calm, there are still some uncomfortable feelings.
Wang Qinxue asked Ji Cha: "Will this matter affect our base?"
Ji Cha shook his head: "The possibility is actually very small. After all, the T city base is far away from us, and there are many roads in between. It is very likely that some methods are used to lure the zombies to other places."
"However," Wang Qinxue was worried, "if you don't kill the zombies, isn't this an act of palliative treatment rather than the root cause? It is very likely that the zombies will come back after a circle?"
Zhang Xing frowned: "It's not wrong to say so, but what can be done? No one has the ability to deal with so many zombies now. Even if all the bullets in the base are used, I don't know if they can kill 100% of these zombies. One of them, is the rest going to use artillery shells, which will have a greater impact on the already cruel environment."
At this time, Zhang Qinqin, who had been sitting beside her and hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke.
"Or we can change our thinking, instead of thinking about how to eliminate zombies, we should think about how to use zombies?"
Ji Cha turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Qinqin explained: "I used to read the news that some people in foreign countries would not choose to bury after cremation, but directly scatter their ashes in the sea or simply under the flowers and trees. Then I checked, and the substances contained in human ashes are almost Everything is a good fertilizer. Although zombies have viruses on their bodies, the substance after being burned to ashes should not change? Isn’t the farm just short of natural fertilizers now? If they can be used... "
When she said this, the few men in front who were still expressing their opinions all stared at her with shock in their eyes.
Zhang Qinqin hesitated involuntarily: "Then what, I just said it casually..."
"I think this proposal is very good," Ji Cha's eyes lit up, "Although it may be difficult to operate, this idea can be considered."
Wang Qinxue also slapped his thigh: "That's right, it kills two birds with one stone, and it can get rid of future troubles."
"In this way, if we really turn this idea into a reality, will we still have zombies that can be used at any time? Is it dangerous for anyone to operate this matter?" Zhang Xingdao.
Ji Cha nodded: "This is just an idea. I have to discuss it with Jincheng. It would be best if it works. If it doesn't work, there's nothing I can do about it."
Ji Cha was worried about Liang Jincheng and lived in the factory for two days. Fortunately, on the third day, a guard came to pick him up and told him that Captain Liang had returned.
Without saying a word, Ji Cha went back to the apartment with the guard.
The base in T City was attacked by zombies, and it has lost more than 200 people so far, but fortunately, the unbelievers are not the main body of the zombie group that attacked them, and the main force deviated from most of the living areas of the base. Headed to the mountains. Therefore, the loss of the base in T city can still be recovered.
"The biggest damage this time is actually not personnel, but food, because the opening where the zombies broke through happened to be one of the planting areas in T City, because the zombie virus may infect these planting areas, and their grain harvest in the second half of this year It may be greatly discounted, so I hope to slightly adjust the agreement we signed last time to increase our distribution rights in metal ore resources, and correspondingly, we need to support them with more food."
There is no shortage of food in the city S base, and if it is given in the second half of the year, Ji Cha is more confident that it can meet the needs of the T city base. Besides, switching to a higher resource allocation right is definitely a bloody profit for the S base.
"Of course it's not a problem," Ji Cha said. "Except for some meat resources, we don't have enough resources, but vegetables and staple foods have already been stored."
As he spoke, he remembered what he was more concerned about: "Is there anything to do with the zombie group now?"
Liang Jincheng took off his clothes in front of Ji Cha and went directly into the bathroom. He opened the door and took a shower while talking to Ji Cha: "Do you know that there is a scenic spot in Q City, Q Lake?"
"Of course, what's the matter?"
Although Q Lake is called a lake, it is actually a lake that has been dry for many years. The reason why it is a famous scenic spot is because it is deep enough, because it is big enough, and because the edges are neat and almost become a cliff, as if God put a big washbasin here but forgot to fill it with water.
"I discussed it with Feng Xing and the others, and we plan to work together to lure all the zombies that are still wandering nearby. If we succeed, we can trap the zombies in place, and we don't have to worry about them climbing up."
Ji Cha immediately thought of the zombie disposal problem that he had discussed with them at home before: "Can you burn a batch after processing each batch?"
Liang Jincheng half-closed his eyes and looked at Ji Cha through the water drops: "Huh?"
Ji Cha brought up the idea of burning zombies to make fertilizer, and the more he talked, the more he thought it was a good idea: "I don't remember that there are any dense trees around Lake Q, and the bottom of the pit is also clean, so it won't affect you if you burn it." Other things, and it can also prevent the problem of zombies piling up, so that in the future, zombies can be attracted in a steady stream."
All of a sudden, the three problems of how to deal with zombies, how to deal with zombies sustainably, and how to profit from them have all been solved.
