Chapter 122 Hot Recruitment
The next morning, when many survivors were preparing to leave the city to look for food, catch insects and pick wild vegetables, teams of soldiers took leaflets and pasted them around the base in a large area, attracting the attention of a large number of survivors.
"What is this? Hey, don't push, don't push!"
"People inside, read it out. What has been released by the base?"
"That's right! Hurry up."
The leaflet area was crowded with onlookers. Many survivors outside couldn't see it, so they wanted to squeeze in. The scene was very chaotic.
Zhang Zhouming is an ordinary survivor. Since the end of the world, his family has been very lucky to escape the doomsday catastrophe and hide in the Lishan base. It is undoubtedly much better than other survivors whose families have been broken up.
But such a healthy family is sometimes a disadvantage. Zhang Zhouming needs to take care of his sick wife and raise two 13-year-old children. He has to work hard in the wild every day to get a little food.
Zhang Zhouming is less than 40 years old, but now he looks like 50 years old. Long-term hunger and hard work have made him skinny and his face is unhealthy and pale.
At this time, Zhang Zhouming was also attracted by the notice on the wall, but there were too many people watching, and Zhang Zhouming, who came a step late, couldn't squeeze in at all.
No one who saw the notice said anything, and everyone who had read it quietly retreated and ran towards the city center without saying a word, leaving more people anxiously crowding towards the notice.
Zhang Zhouming's heart moved, looking at the hundreds of people in front of the notice, knowing that he couldn't squeeze in, so he found an opportunity and followed a man who had read the notice and ran towards the city center.
"Brother, did you read the notice too? Are you sure?" Zhang Zhouming ran breathlessly beside the man who posted the notice, asking in a tone that I am also an insider.
The man who posted the notice glanced at him and saw that he was running towards the city center like him. He thought he had also read the notice, so he said, "Who knows, I plan to apply for the production department. If I can become a member of the base production department, I can get four taels of rice every day, and I won't have to worry about food and drink in the future."
The man who posted the notice had a face full of longing, and his eyes were full of yearning. Only those who have been hungry know how precious four taels of rice are.
Think about the porridge that the base distributes every day. Because the porridge is very thin, two meals of porridge are only more than one tael of rice, which can't meet people's nutritional needs at all. Many people are starved to be skinny and pale.
Zhang Zhouming is an example. He lives in hunger every day, and there are too many people like him.
So the survivors must go to the wild to find food every day, or catch insects such as grasshoppers, dragonflies, spiders, or find some edible wild vegetables to replenish their hungry stomachs, so that their bodies are not so weak and their stomachs feel better.
Therefore, four ounces of rice are more important than anything else in the eyes of ordinary survivors. As long as they have these four ounces of rice, they don’t have to venture into the wild every day to find insignificant food.
Although there are few zombies and mutants near the base, if you are unlucky and accidentally encounter zombies and mutants, you may lose your life in the wild.
Zhang Zhouming's eyes lit up, and he suppressed his excitement and asked in a distressed manner: "So you plan to apply for the logistics department! I don't know what to apply for yet, do you have any recommendations?"
The man who posted the notice didn't care, and said carelessly: "The City Lord's Mansion has established five departments this time to manage the development of the base. Among these five departments, except for the Public Security Department and the Mutant Management Department, the Logistics Department, the Production Department, and the Commercial Department all recruit ordinary survivors. Among them, the Production Department recruits the most people. I think the chance of passing is the highest. You should also apply for the Production Department with me. Anyway, the daily salary of the three departments is four taels of rice."
"The five departments established by the City Lord's Mansion of the base recruit personnel to manage the base. Isn't this a civil servant?" Zhang Zhouming said. He finally understood what the notice said. It turned out to be recruiting civil servants!
"Of course, otherwise how could the salary be so high!" The man who posted the notice rolled his eyes at Zhang Zhouming. If you don't work for the base, who will give you so much food?
Zhang Zhouming nodded repeatedly. After understanding all the situations, he was only excited. He must get this position. As long as he got this position, the four taels of food a day would make the family's situation much better, which was more than ten times better than going to the wild to find meager food every day in the wind and sun.
Zhang Zhouming ignored his weak body and ran wildly with the man who posted the notice, and finally arrived at the city center.
It turned out that ordinary survivors were not allowed to enter the city center. After Wang Jin dominated the base, this system was abolished and ordinary survivors could also enter the city center.
Of course, ordinary survivors would not come in to feel uncomfortable. They didn't even have enough food, so how could they afford to come here to consume.
Today, the city center was crowded with survivors coming from all directions. Teams of soldiers with live ammunition patrolled the city center to maintain order in the city center.
Zhang Zhouming thought he arrived early, but when he saw the recruitment site in the city center, the three departments' recruitment points had formed a long queue, with two or three hundred people queuing.
Near the recruitment point, in addition to patrolling soldiers, there are also ferocious Zerg stationed there, staring at every survivor who passes by, making them shudder with fear. They no longer dare to think of cutting in line and taking advantage of the situation.
Zhang Zhouming and the man holding the notice complained, and lined up behind the long queue, enduring the sun, and moved forward little by little with the crowd.
There were more and more people in the city center. As the recruitment news spread, the entire base now knew that the city lord's mansion was recruiting civil servants, with a salary of four taels of rice per day, causing a large number of people to gather in the city center, fighting for the hope of four taels of rice per day.
By ten o'clock in the morning, the number of people in the queue had exceeded 3,000, and the crowd was still pouring in. Under the temptation of four taels of rice, no one was not tempted.
Zhang Zhouming had been queuing for three hours before it was finally his turn. The man holding the notice in front of him had been eliminated, but he still cried and refused to leave, and was finally beaten and dragged away by the soldiers.
Zhang Zhouming was excited and nervous. Looking at the handsome examiner who was assessing him, he was more scared than seeing the teacher when he was a child. This job was too important to him, and he couldn't help but be nervous and scared.
"Name!" Du Yuyan sat behind the desk with a laptop in front of her and asked Zhang Zhouming softly.
"Zhang Zhouming!" Zhang Zhouming answered quickly, twisting his hands behind his back.
Du Yuyan typed the name into the computer for query. He Xin had once conducted a statistical analysis of the survivors of the base, and everyone's file information was recorded. Just enter the name in the computer to query.
This is the power of human technology. Although the computer cannot be connected to the Internet now, it is still very easy to record the survivors' information, which is much more convenient than manual work.
