Chapter 1707 Winter is coming, save your points to get through it!(1/2)
After the meeting.
After Li Yu, second uncle, and uncle returned to the inner city,
In the inner city conference room, I used the radio station to chat with my third uncle alone.
They used a radio station, and there was also a radio station in the room where the third uncle lived.
Since Dong Ying was able to assemble the radio station, the Da Zhangshu force camp and the radio station have been allocated to the squadron level.
Almost every squadron can have a radio station.
The content of their conversation was relatively private.
It's about what should be done once the oil city and trading market are at their most dangerous.
The core issue is the food issue.
After Zuo Ruxue and others transported the grain to Oil City, more than 20,000 tons of grain could support the Oil City and the trading market for 200 days.
Over half a year, more than 200,000 people attended.
This is already a lot of food.
The more than 20,000 tons of grain, the output of the Da Zhangshu headquarters base and the northern border in the past two quarters, have basically been transported to the Oil City.
However, no one knows how long the ice disaster will last.
They have tried their best to prepare food for half a year, which is an exaggeration.
If after more than 200 days, the frozen natural disaster is still not over, then a group of people may have to give up by then.
Of course, it’s possible that transportation will be able to resume after the snow stops.
........
Oil City.
A building in the central core.
Third floor.
The third uncle put down the radio headset, walked to the window, and looked at the thin layer of fog condensed on the window glass.
This is caused by the difference in indoor and outdoor temperatures.
Through this layer of fog, you can still see the purple-blue light outside.
The purple-blue light passed through the glass and reflected on the third uncle's pupils.
The third uncle's eyes flickered, and he sighed as he recalled some of the extreme situations Li Yu mentioned just now.
When that time comes, I'm afraid some people will still have to sacrifice.
I never feel like I have enough food.
In addition, there are more than 200,000 people in the trading market. Feeding these people for free is simply a fantasy.
Therefore, points must be collected for all aspects, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc.
The trading market is not a charity hall, and heating fees will be charged for subsequent heating.
If you can't afford the heating bill, you can only go to an unheated room and use other methods to keep out the cold, such as charcoal.
"Winter is coming!" The third uncle pushed open the window, and the cold wind from outside blew in.
Blow up a corner of the map hanging on the wall and make a rattling sound.
........
In the trading market.
East End Residence.
Zone B.
Building 15, second floor, room 219.
The hallway light went out.
Only the lights from the commercial district in the distance shine on the window glass, and there is some light in the room.
Ma Xiaotiao, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up.
He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and curled up his legs.
He asked Xu Qingwen who was on the opposite bed:
"Uncle Xu, do you think we can still go to work tomorrow?"
Xu Qingwen didn't fall asleep at this time. They started work on the buffer city construction relatively early, starting at around four o'clock.
Unexpectedly, after work, the wind picked up and became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the wind outside the window made a roaring sound.
With such a strong wind, he was a little worried that he would not be able to work tomorrow. If he could not work, he would not be able to earn points.
Without points, he would not be able to support his family.
Xu Qingwen replied in a muffled voice:
"I don't know. It just depends on whether the wind will continue to be so strong tomorrow. If the wind is still so strong tomorrow, we won't be able to go to work."
Windy weather is extremely unsuitable for construction.
When Ma Xiaotiao heard this, he sighed and said:
"If we don't work, how can we save points..."
Sui Dahua, who was sitting on the bed next to him, heard the conversation between the two and joined in the discussion.
"Xiao Tiao, how many points have you saved now?"
Ma Xiaotiao thought for a while and replied:
"56 points."
"Not bad, it seems you listened to what we said." Xu Qingwen was a little relieved when he heard the points on his hand.
"Old Xu, where are you?" Sui Dahua also climbed up and looked at Xu Qingwen and asked.
Xu Qingwen coughed and said:
"Me, I have 106 points on hand, and my wife has 82 points. The total is 188 points."
"Brother Sui, how many points do you have on hand?"
Sui Dahua replied:
"I have 103 points in my hand and my father has 90 points in his hand. The total is 193 points."
When Ma Xiaotiao heard that the two of them actually had so many points, he said with a grimace:
"If I had known better, I should have listened to you and saved my points earlier instead of squandering them like that. We do the same job, and the two of you have saved almost twice as many points as me."
A long time ago, Sui Dahua and Xu Qingwen reminded Ma Xiaotiao to ask him to save as many points as possible.
At that time, they were working in the field and went out to cut trees.
You get food for free every day, and you also have a lot of points. After all, if you work outside the wall, you can get more points than doing construction in the trading market.
Moreover, they are still level 4 members, so they can get 0.8~0.9 points every day.
The reason why Ma Xiaotiao was able to become a fourth-level member was thanks to his father.
His father, Xu Qingwen, and Sui Dahua went up to the wall to stop the zombies during a thunderstorm.
Ma Xiaotiao's father is dead.
Therefore, when the hierarchy was divided later, this reward was given to his son, Ma Xiaotiao.
Otherwise, if Level 5 personnel were to live in the room in Area B they currently live in, the cost would at least be doubled several times.
They are currently living in a house in District B. Just by virtue of their status as level four personnel, they can live in a room at the District B level at the cost of others living in a house in District C.
After Xu Qingwen heard Ma Xiaotiao's complaints, he sighed:
"Xiao Tiao, you are alone. We are all raising families. There are three of them, Lao Sui, and there are three of us including my daughter and wife. On average, the points are about the same as yours."
"On average, that's more than me." Ma Xiaotiao felt a little regretful, regretting that he didn't have any points before.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is only nineteen years old, the age where he is in full swing, but he only went to Tingfeng Tower a few times, and a lot of points were consumed.
But it was a relief, and it took him several days of hard work to earn points.
Looking back now, he feels a little sorry for his efforts.
Xu Qingwen sighed with emotion:
"It looks like a natural disaster is coming. Let's live here and stay together for warmth."
Sui Dahua asked:
"By the way, where are the heating pipes in our trading market repaired? It's almost zero now, haven't the pipes been repaired yet?"
"I happened to pass by Area A when I came back at night and took a look. Area A has been paved. We are on the 15th floor of Area B. The repairs should be able to reach us soon," Xu Qingwen said.
Ma Xiaotiao asked: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Sui, when do you think this natural disaster will end? What will we do if the points we have are used up?"
When they heard the question he asked, neither Xu Qingwen nor Sui Dahua knew how to answer him.
After a while of silence.
In the end, it was Xu Qingwen who spoke.
"We don't know this either."
