Rebirth of the apocalypse: Winning a prize of 30 million at the beginning

Oil City.

Trading Market.

Snowflakes were flying, but the commercial district was not deserted.

Many survivors who did not turn on the heating gathered here, and the shops were crowded.

Some survivors who wanted to save heating fees stayed here all day long.

Water Dragon Club Bar.

Zhou Feilong saw the crowded dance floor below on the second floor of the bar. He originally thought that business would be much worse in such a cold day.

Unexpectedly, so many people came.

"Not bad, not bad." Zhou Feilong smiled and nodded, then asked Lao Meng behind him:

"Lao Meng, how much business was there yesterday?"

Lao Meng said embarrassedly: "398 points."

"So few??"

Zhou Feilong widened his eyes and asked in disbelief:

"I came here yesterday, and the number of people was about the same as today. Why is the business so low?"

More than 300 points, compared to the only bar in their commercial district, is very low.

Less than a quarter of the previous one.

The bar is located in a prime location in the commercial district, with a superior geographical location. The monthly rent is very high, and the rent has been raised many times.

In addition to the house, there are taxes to pay, which is also a loss, not to mention the heating fee, which is also a considerable expense.

If there are less than 400 points per day, deduct the cost of raw materials, heating fees, flat daily rent, and taxes, if you add the labor cost, their turnover will be almost no profit.

There are more than 100 people in their Shuilong Club, and they have to eat every day, and the daily expenses are at least 100 points.

With a turnover of less than 400 points, there is really no profit.

Bar manager Lao Meng pointed at the crowd below and said awkwardly:

"These people came in but didn't spend money. They probably came to use the heating. I felt it was inappropriate to drive them away, and I was afraid of a bad impact, so I didn't let them go."

"Are you really Lao Meng? Are you crazy?" Zhou Feilong frowned and cursed:

"There are so many people using the heating. If you don't drive them away, so many people crowded here will also affect the consumption of people who originally wanted to come and spend money. People who really want to spend money will leave when they see that there is no seat."

Lao Meng hesitated:

"But if we drive them away, it will easily offend them."

"Offend them, anyway, they can't afford it!" Zhou Feilong looked at the survivors below with some disgust in his eyes.

He hates being taken advantage of the most. He doesn't take advantage of others, and he doesn't like to take advantage of others.

Lao Meng protested in a low voice:

"But. They can't afford it now, but if they can afford it later, won't we lose our potential consumers?"

"Stubborn!"

Zhou Feilong's tone was a little impatient.

"When opening a business, the first thing is to ensure that people who want to consume are willing to stay and consume. Why do you care about those who can't afford it at this time!"

"Putting the cart before the horse!"

"Besides, it's very simple to solve it. You set a minimum consumption of 0.2 points for a cup of industrial wine. They can always afford it. If they don't even want to spend this little money, it's normal for us not to let them in."

"The place is limited. How can we let those who use the heating take up seats."

Old Meng thought about it and felt that the method that Boss Zhou said made sense. He nodded and said:

"Okay, Brother Long, I'll go down and arrange it now."

"Wait."

Zhou Feilong stopped him, "Be nicer in tone, just tell them clearly, and put a poster at the door of the store later, clearly stating the minimum consumption."

"Okay." Old Meng hurried downstairs.

Zhou Feilong stood on the second floor and looked at the men and women in the dance floor and booths. Some of them squatted on the ground, some sat on the ground, and some even occupied a row of seats and lay down.

'Damn it! 'He saw the man lying on the chair in a dirty state, and he felt a little disgusted.

Downstairs.

After Meng Zhishu went down, he gathered the staff in the bar and told them about this matter.

"Later, everyone will go over and notify them one by one. If they are willing to buy drinks, they will be left alone. But if they are unwilling to buy drinks and insist on staying in the bar."

"Talk to them in a friendly manner first. If they don't listen to you even if you treat them well, Mafeng, you take people to carry them out."

"No."

Meng Zhishu thought about it and changed his words.

"If they don't leave by themselves, tell me, I will contact the patrol team and ask them to come out."

After all, if they carry people out, it will be troublesome if some unsophisticated survivors rely on them and falsely accuse them of beating him.

Their Shuilonghui bar was settled in when the commercial district was just established, and they are also familiar with the patrol team.

Soon, as many staff members went over to urge them to leave, these survivors were also afraid of trouble. After all, they were not right to stay here.

So, after a moment's hesitation, they all left.

The entire Shuilonghui Bar suddenly became much quieter.

After leaving the Shuilonghui Bar, the group of people ran to other shops.

Opposite the Shuilonghui Bar.

Tingfenglou.

It was crowded, whether it was the aisle or the front hall, it was full of people.

Xiaolan, the front desk, said to Huizi, the owner of Tingfenglou, worriedly:

"Sister, they come in but don't spend money, and people come in, should we drive them out?"

"You see, the Water Dragon Club bar opposite has kicked people out. We can do the same."

Keiko shook her head and said thoughtfully:

"No, just make sure that the reception suite is not given to them. As long as there is room in other places, let them stay for a while. In addition, try to let them gather in the lounge hall and not block the corridor."

"Why?" Xiaolan didn't understand.

After all, the people who open their stores are responsible for heating, so it makes sense not to let in these non-consumers.

It is a matter of affection to help them, but it is a duty not to help them.

No one can accuse them of that.

"Why?"

Keiko's eyes showed the light of wisdom,

"We are all in the trading market now, and the leaders at the top of the trading market must be thinking about saving energy as much as possible."

"Although the people from the Water Dragon Club did not violate the regulations of the trading market, it was not humane enough. We have to take a longer view. We have all kinds of guests in Tingfeng Tower. Although they don't have many points now. , but if you have one in the future, you will definitely come to us for consumption frequently. ”

"Anyway, we have to pay the heating bill. Let them come in, as long as it doesn't delay our business. Just be considerate and it will be easier to do business in the future."

Xiaolan nodded as if she understood: "I understand."

In the trading market business district, the degree of liberalization is relatively high.

Some of these shop owners choose to let people who do not spend money enter the store to rest, but some, like the Water Dragon Club bar, do not allow those who do not spend money to enter the store.

The construction of greenhouses in the buffer city has been suspended.

Because the blizzard was so heavy, construction was impossible.

However, all of these recruited workers were put to use. Some were responsible for clearing snow on the walls of the buffer city, while the rest were responsible for clearing snow in the buffer city and the trading market.

These workers mainly clean main roads, streets and other places.

But the roofs and aisles of each building are left to them to clean.

At present, in the entire Oil City, everyone's main job is to clear snow.

Continuous snow clearing.

Trading bazaar residential area.

Room 301, third floor, Building 18, Zone C.

The heating is turned on in the house, keeping the indoor temperature at about 25 degrees.

Squeak——

A man came in from the outside with a bulging canvas bag on his shoulder. After he opened the door, the cold air from outside came in, and white mist became visible.

The original article can be found in Liu#9@书/吧!

At this time, the outside of the house looked like a large natural refrigerator.

Opening the door is like opening the refrigerator, letting in the cold air from the refrigerator.

"Here, the tortillas are freshly baked. I just held them in my arms. They should still be warm. Let's eat them while they are hot." Xiao Zhao ran in and opened the canvas bag on his shoulders.

Hand out tacos to everyone in the room.

This tortilla also has a little bit of warmth, which gives it a nice texture.

The tortillas are still a little soft when they first dry out, but will become harder and harder as time goes by.

So everyone likes to eat freshly made tortillas. The longer the tortillas are stored, the worse the taste. Even after two or three months of continuous storage, although the tortillas can still be eaten, they are really hard at that time. Like a stone.

It must be cut with a knife to cut it. If there is no hot water to soak it, they will choose to cut it into a very small piece and then hold it in their mouth. After holding it for a long time, it will soften before swallowing.

Sun Dali took the tortilla Xiao Zhao handed over and took a bite.

It's soft and has a light corn aroma.

They eat this tortilla every day, but they won't get tired of anything they eat when they're hungry.

in the room.

Everyone sat around and chatted.

"Brother Sun, it's not a problem for us to sit around like this every day. It's been five or six days since the heavy snowfall. It feels like we'll get sick just lying down with nothing to do. How about we go to the mission hall and find a job?" Zhao Qiankun next to him said.

Sun Dali thought for a moment and said:

"That's okay. You still can't be too idle. It's good to find something to do. Xiao Zhao, Xiao Li, after you two finish eating, go to the mission hall to see if any new missions have been issued recently. ”

Xiao Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, brother, before I went to buy tortillas, I went to the mission hall for a while. They are recruiting truck drivers and trucks to transport snow. I think we can do this job, and we also pay That’s a lot of points.”

"Is this such a good thing?" Sun Dali raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Yes, I just planned to tell you." After Xiao Zhao distributed the tortillas in the canvas bag, he folded the canvas bag.

Sun Dali looked at Zhao Qiankun next to him and said:

"Okay, Qiankun, after dinner we go to the mission hall and answer the call for this mission."

"good."

Oil City.

In the conference room.

Connected to the headquarters base.

Discuss the problem of buffering snow outside the city.

Second uncle's voice came from the radio station,

"Third brother, please give us a rough outline of the plans you have over there."

The third uncle looked at Jie Changshan who was sitting in the seat and motioned for him to explain.

After Xie Changshan took a few days off, his overall condition was obviously much better.

He coughed a few times, stood up and said:

"City Lord, President, Minister, we now have a total of three plans."

"The first plan is to dig up the sand and gravel in the buffer city, and then send out a fleet of snowplows to clear the snow outside."

"The second plan is to make ice bricks with snow, and then use ice bricks to make ice walls. This plan is added to the first plan. A new ice wall is built outside the buffer city. The ice wall is simple and quick to make, and the efficiency of ice wall construction is very high. After it is built, it can provide shelter for the base."

"However, this plan requires a lot of manpower, and once the weather is hot, the ice wall will melt, and it will be meaningless to spend a lot of effort to build it."

"The third plan, since the supply of salt and hot water is limited in the oil city, but the fuel is sufficient, you can use gasoline to melt the snow, and achieve the same effect as pouring hot water to melt the snow."

Xie Changshan reported the three plans discussed in the oil city to the headquarters base truthfully and in detail.

"Three plans, that's it."

After speaking, Xie Changshan sat down.

Uncle San took over the conversation from Xie Changshan and said:

"At present, we are inclined to the third option. There is abundant oil in the oil city, which is the most labor-saving. Moreover, we cannot judge how long the snow will last. If the heavy snow stops, the snow will sink and reduce its height."

"We spent so much effort to build the ice wall, but the gains do not outweigh the losses."

In the camphor tree base.

Li Yu suddenly stood up and remembered something.

"It snowed so heavily. Have you found any traces of zombies outside the buffer city?"

"Uh"

Uncle San shook his head and said:

"It snowed so heavily. No traces of zombies have been found for the time being. Maybe they are all buried by the snow."

The snow fell too fast. Although the zombies were moving, the snow covered their knees, waists, and heads because the snow fell so fast.

Outside the base, it is impossible for someone to clean up the snow 24 hours a day like inside the base, so the snow naturally became thicker and thicker.

Now the snow outside the buffer city has reached a height of more than three meters, which is higher than a floor.

There have been few traces of zombies since the four-day blizzard.

Li Yu thought for a moment and said:

"Then let's go with the third plan. Temporarily melt the snow outside the wall to delay for a while. If such a heavy blizzard continues for more than a hundred days, the thickness of the snow is estimated to be tens of meters high."

"If that's the case, there's no need to guard the buffer city wall. Let's retreat to the trading market."

"As for the construction project in the buffer city that was previously planned, it should be temporarily stopped."

Li Yu made the final decision.

No one objected.

The main reason was that in the last extreme cold disaster, there was no such outrageous blizzard.

Although it snowed in that extreme cold disaster, it would stop in the middle and then continue.

It won't be like this time, where it snowed for five consecutive days at a time, and it was a heavy blizzard.

It's so terrifying.

This kind of blizzard has a feeling of covering the entire world and freezing the whole world.
