In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

In the apocalypse, medical services play a significant role; this is a fact.

In the early days of the apocalypse, the national hospitals established by the Empire were somewhat effective. However, as the apocalypse progressed, many medical devices in the hospitals became unusable due to power outages.

It can be said that electricity is definitely a crucial energy source in modern society. All the modern conveniences we enjoy in cities rely on electricity. Water and electricity are indispensable parts of modern life.

Besides the inability to use a large number of medical devices, the medications in the national hospitals also quickly ran out, as the Empire's population was simply too large, and many people were sick.

Without logistical transportation, relying solely on inventory, the hospitals' drug reserves couldn't last long.

Therefore, the medical staff in these hospitals soon found themselves unemployed.

For survivors, medical services would become a luxury that was out of reach.

Li Ming's establishment of related medical points was to solve these problems for ordinary people, but of course, Li Ming wasn't doing charity.

If you want to enjoy medical services, you have to pay!

This 'money' doesn't refer to the Empire's currency, which is considered useless even for wiping your backside. Instead, it refers to points tickets exchanged for various supplies.

In other words, to enjoy medical services, you must have points tickets. And to be honest, the price of these medical services isn't low. A doctor's consultation fee is 1 point per visit, with medication, examination, and treatment costs calculated separately.

It can be said that examinations, treatments, and medications are the main expenses for seeing a doctor.

Of course, for ordinary people, as long as you are diligent enough to obtain a large number of supplies, you can still enjoy some medical services, since the medical staff's salaries are all paid by Li Ming.

To some extent, becoming a full-time doctor in Li Ming's base is basically equivalent to finding a golden job in the apocalypse.

The benefits Li Ming provides to medical staff are definitely high compared to other jobs in the apocalypse, including free meals and a good salary.

Of course, what you need to give back for this high salary is some of your freedom and your genuine skills.

There are constant learning and training activities. Li Ming also adopted the doctor's title system, with clinical medical ability accounting for 60% of the core factors in title evaluation, and the other part based on research and teaching ability.

Although teaching is a bit difficult at the moment, research can still be done.

Li Ming rapidly increased his population in a short period by recruiting talent. Although the number of top-tier talents wasn't that high, he did recruit a lot of skilled workers.

Currently, Li Ming has recruited more than 500,000 talents of various kinds, who are placed in underground bases across the country. These underground bases are basically level one bases with a base vehicle each. Li Ming has built a total of 100 of these level one branch bases.

At the same time, to facilitate the production of equipment, Li Ming upgraded a total of nine level two bases on top of these level one bases.

With these nine level two bases as the core, he formed nine industrial zones to absorb these talents.

For Li Ming, with these nine industrial zone level two bases, it would be easy to support not just hundreds of thousands of talents, but even tens of millions of people.

He doesn't lack living supplies or survival supplies, so as long as these talents can create their own value, Li Ming's treatment is very good.

Take skilled workers as an example: a level one fitter can receive a monthly salary of 30 points, equivalent to 30 kilograms of rice. If exchanged for supplies such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, it would be doubled.

Moreover, Li Ming provides these skilled workers with low-priced meals, which are enough to fill you up. The price of a day's meal is about 0.5 points.

Li Ming will definitely not lose money; he's just breaking even.

But for senior technical talents, such as doctors, technical engineers, researchers, and scientists, meals are free and more abundant.

Although it's not as good as the pre-disaster food standards, at least it's not bad. There are various vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk. Although meat is rationed, it's already good.

The meat standard is 2 liang (100 grams) per person per day.

Li Ming absolutely respects and is willing to invest in real talent.

At this time, the date is December 30, 2025 of the Solar Calendar. This year is about to end, and it's the 55th day since the beginning of the apocalypse. From the second month of the apocalypse, the rainfall has gradually changed from torrential rain to moderate and light rain, and now it has finally turned into showers.

Many survivors were very happy to see that the rainfall was about to stop, thinking that this disaster was about to pass.

However, Li Ming immediately began to broadcast a message through the radio: 'Hello, survivors, this is the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce Radio Station. The following is a notification.'

'According to the predictions of our Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce's research institutions, there is a high probability that a large-scale extreme cooling disaster will occur throughout the Empire within the next week. Please prepare for the cold in advance and store enough cold-weather supplies!'

'Hello, survivors.......'

Li Ming's radio station began to continuously broadcast these messages to notify the survivors to prepare for the corresponding cold weather. He has notified them, but whether these survivors believe it is their problem.

Anyway, the opportunity has been given to you, whether you can seize it is up to you.

As Li Ming's radio station broadcasted the relevant notifications, countless survivors were terrified. Extreme cold weather?

Damn it, it's already winter, and the rain has already flooded up to the eighth floor, and now there's an extreme cold disaster?

You need to know that although the temperature in the southern regions of the Empire is not low in winter, it is also relatively cold. After all, with the rain and the humid climate, the survivors' lives are not easy.

But no matter what, the temperature is only minus three or four degrees Celsius, which is still within the range that the human body can withstand. Once you really face a large-scale extreme cooling, it will definitely be fatal.

The climate is already humid, and then there's extreme cooling. How much will the temperature drop to be described by Li Ming's radio station with the word 'extreme'?

All the survivors have no idea, and this is just a prediction. Who knows if it's true or false?

Some people who felt something was wrong began to speed up the pace of hoarding supplies. At this time, the value of coal, batteries, charcoal, and various cold-weather clothing from the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce rose sharply.

At the same time, many survivors began to constantly search for shopping malls, trying to find various cold-weather clothing.

In addition, some furniture stores, libraries, and schools have become places contested by many forces.

After all, these places have a lot of wood, which can be used as fuel for cooking and heating.

In addition, some places with trees on the mountains have gradually been noticed by some people.

No matter how the outside world changes, Li Ming's side is still developing very steadily. Especially with the addition of a large number of technical talents, Li Ming's industrial base can be fully maintained and produce various products.

In particular, various constant temperature fabrics are produced in large quantities, giving these senior talents a set of constant temperature clothing as a benefit........
