My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 695: The rain in May, the pressure from the inspector team!
Chapter 698 The rain in May, the pressure from the inspector team!
The rain in May comes as soon as it is said.
In the evening, the whole sky was still cloudless and steamy.
But after eight o'clock in the evening, the pouring rain suddenly fell, and began to bring a little coolness to the dusty plain.
Thanks to the territory's emphasis on water conservancy, even in this small Sangtian town, there was no flood that occurred in the original territory.
Besides the constant gurgling of the sewer, the life of the people living in the town was basically not affected.
Those who do business are still doing business, and those who go to the fields are still working in raincoats.
Many people even rejoiced that the rain had reduced the continuous high temperature a lot, and saved the pain of flesh and blood in the fields under the sun.
However, this trace of luck only lasted for one night.
After realizing that the rain still had no tendency to stop at all the next day, but was getting bigger and bigger, more and more people could only pray silently in their hearts.
The rain before the summer harvest can pass quickly, so as not to bring other variables to the next harvest.
But it's a pity that praying is a thing, you can only do your best and obey the destiny.
From the evening of June 2nd to June 6th.
Four full days passed, and when Sumo woke up in the morning, the sound of the rain still had no tendency to diminish in the slightest!
"Ah, Brother Zong, why did you wake up so early?"
"It's only 5:50, you don't go to work until 7:30, there are almost two hours left!"
"But breakfast will be ready soon, there is your favorite spicy mashed potato sandwich, let's go wash up first"
Seeing Su Mo come out from the middle room, Huang Xiaojuan, who was busy on the stove, poked her head out and shouted twice happily.
Because of the heavy rain, the entire field near Sangtian Town has basically turned into a puddle of mud.
In this case, let alone working in the fields, even if you walk around, you will be turned into a clay baby.
So starting from the afternoon of the next day, all the industries related to planting in Sangtian Town, except those working indoors, continued.
Almost all workers in other industries have become suspended.
Of course, what makes Huang Xiaojuan so happy is that there is a contract that restricts both parties when the territorial identity is purchased.
Like now, although the job cannot be done, the salary is still paid.
And under this kind of paid vacation, she even fantasized about the rain for ten days and half a month, which made people laugh and cry.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll clean up the stagnant water in the yard first"
waved his hands, looking at the courtyard that was about to be flooded overnight, and Oreo who was forced to squat under the eaves.
Sumo moved his shoulders, picked up the broom made of thick leaves, and began to sweep out the street.
During these four days, the drainage system of Sangtian Town has undoubtedly been severely tested.
But what is reassuring is that the town was constructed according to the natural disaster standards on the wasteland when it was first established.
Although there was a lot of rain in the four days at this time, it was still far from this mark.
Like this Gutian Third Street in front of the courtyard, the managers of Sangtian Town even have time to come and maintain it.
"Hey, you are cleaning the courtyard too!"
Swept from under the eaves to the door, opened the courtyard door and stood outside, looking at the two people who were also standing on the street sweeping water, Su Mo laughed "honestly".
When he first came, there were only two families living in this Gutian Third Street.
And the location of these two households is at the end of the alley, not close to the end of his alley, there are three small streets away.
But strangely, it only took two days to pass.
After the heavy rain began to fall, "neighbors" chose to move here one after another near the courtyard.
As of last night, four households had moved in, with as many as thirteen people, making the whole street suddenly lively.
These people are different in height, short, fat and thin, men, women, young and old.
If Sumo hadn't felt the surveillance of these people long ago, I'm afraid it would be difficult to detect that these "family" organizations are actually disguised.
"Isn't that right? It's raining too much. It's only been one night. I almost flooded my house!"
We spent two days together, and since Sumo left early and returned late every day, they had no time to strike up a conversation.
At this time, Wang Qian, a shirtless and fat man, was obviously a little happy to be greeted by Su Mo, so he quickly got into a relationship:
"Brother Su, I can smell the delicious food here, otherwise, we will pay for the ingredients and add some processing fees"
"Can you give us some food, it's too expensive to eat out here!"
"Oh? Do you know my last name is Su?"
Tilted his head slightly in "doubt", looking at Wang Qian's obviously stunned, somewhat pale face.
Su Mo suppressed a smile, and coughed lightly: "It's not impossible, but I have to ask my Xiaojuan to see if she is willing, after all, I'm just a foodie."
"It's okay, we don't force it, I think we are neighbors, we can help each other if there is anything"
Seeing that Su Mo wasn't struggling with this issue, Wang Qian heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly moved on with the topic.
A moment, in a friendly atmosphere of communication.
After sweeping all the water in the courtyard to the sewer, Su Mo clapped his hands in satisfaction and began to go home to wash.
When she sat down at the dinner table, Huang Xiaojuan just brought the meal over, making the room steamy and full of fireworks.
"Brother Zong, I saw that you and the people next door seem to be talking about something, what, do they want to monitor us?"
First, the thief glanced out the window suspiciously, and after making sure that the group of people were not eavesdropping nearby, Huang Xiaojuan then turned her head and gestured with a knife in her hand.
She was not so sensitive when she was in Qingguo Territory.
After all, although she had been a refugee for a period of time at that time, she did not really encounter any life-and-death crisis.
It wasn’t until later, when she was startled by the killing of the Liu brothers on the train, and after she walked in front of the gate of life and death once, that Huang Xiaojuan realized the danger of the wasteland and became the current mildly persecuted Paranoia.
"What are you thinking, our Tianyuan Territory is so safe, how can it be so complicated as you think"
"Besides, they came to me just now and wanted to come over for a meal. They said they were providing ingredients and processing fees. How could they be bad guys?"
Picking up a big white steamed bun casually, Su Mo dipped in the spicy mashed potatoes on the plate, and laughed while eating.
No wonder Huang Xiaojuan was so vigilant, when these people were watching him at the beginning.
On the first night, even with Oreo warning outside, Su Mo didn't fall asleep much, and remained half asleep, ready to fight violently at any time.
But after moving over from these people, I began to express goodwill intentionally or unintentionally.
Things have changed again.
During the two days, although they were monitoring the courtyard all the time, they kept an eye on the whereabouts of the two of them.
But there is one point, but it is ignored.
Oreo!
With the appearance of a Chinese pastoral dog as a cover, Oreo looks stupid, and goes out for a walk regularly every day, and only comes back when he is crazy enough.
But in fact, in the blind spot of these people's surveillance, Oreo has already lurked in the past, eavesdropping on information.
As early as the morning of June 4th, Sumo had already figured out the specific origin and purpose of these people.
"Huh? They are not bad people?"
Hearing about Su Mo's safety, Huang Xiaojuan patted her chest and sat down in relief.
But then, she continued energetically: "Brother Zong, did they tell you how much the processing fee is!"
"Hi, I know you're a money junkie!"
Looking helplessly at Huang Xiaojuan who was excited again, Su Mo casually spit out the price that Wang Qian offered before.
In order to conceal the purpose of himself and others, fearing that Su Mo would be suspicious, Wang Qian's price was not high, basically according to the standards of restaurants in the town.
Three meals a day, all materials are included for each meal, and the processing fee is 0.1 point per meal.
That is to say, Wang Xiaojuan can only earn 0.3 points after working for a whole day.
After three days, it's not even a little bit.
Based on the high 39,800 points of the micro-development platform, she would have to work non-stop for 363 years to justify the price.
Just.
"0.1 points, 0.3 points every day, plus my current daily salary is 0.5 points, I rely on, I can earn 0.8 points a day???"
Compared to Qingguo Territory, a family of three worked for a whole year to earn about ten points.
Calculated that it would take less than 13 days for her to reach this number, Huang Xiaojuan froze on the stool and giggled.
And she looked so happy that Oreo, who was cooking with his head down next to her, also laughed along with her.
"Quick, stop laughing, hurry up and eat!"
The atmosphere is cheerful and the food is delicious.
Taking a sip of the sweet millet porridge in the bowl, Su Mo smiled, not thinking of pointing out the truth to Huang Xiaojuan.
Fools are blessed with fools.
Based on Huang Xiaojuan's current daily income of 0.8 points, she would have to work for ten years to earn back her capital just for the 3,000 points for purchasing the status.
And this ten years does not include daily life, eating and drinking.
If these are included, I am afraid that even twenty years may not be able to pay back the 3,000 points spent in advance.
"So in the end, it's this identity again"
"Those who can afford it don't need it at all, and those who need it can't afford it. Why does this system exist?"
The question went back to the original starting point, and he couldn't think of a reason, so Sumo could only keep it in the back of his mind for the time being.
After breakfast, he gave Oreo a few routine instructions. Su Mo picked up his bag and started walking towards Zizai Liangfang.
Passing through a few small streets that were blocked by stagnant water all the way, and when they were about to converge on the main road, my younger brother Sun Quan was waiting in his old place again.
"Hi, Brother Su, you are finally here"
"What Xiaojuan did today, I can smell it from far away!"
Because of the heavy rain, Zizai Liangfang's cafeteria also suffered, and all the prepared ingredients were soaked in water.
In a fit of rage, Zhang Min simply fired the old chef who charged too high a price, and planned to hire a few new chefs with lower prices to save the budget and improve the taste along the way.
It's just that she didn't expect that Zizai Liangfang not only couldn't recruit planters, but even cooks rarely came to interview.
It has been two days, and I still haven't been able to find a decent chef.
No way, everyone can only prepare their own food for the time being.
"It's all in the bag, you are the only one in a hurry!"
Patting the still hot backpack, seeing Sun Quanhou's anxious look, Su Mo laughed, and the two of them took up umbrellas and started to walk side by side in the direction of Liangfang.
After getting used to Sun Quan's presence, Su Mo's inner resistance towards this talkative follower disappeared long ago.
It's like now, listening to Sun Quan gossip about Sangtian Town and the territory.
Somo felt sincerely convenient.
This information, if it is done by someone with a dull mind, how can they collect such complete information.
Only Sun Quan is a self-acquaintance, and he can find people to chat with, cliché, and collect information with the cheek.
And relying on his information, the two decisively bought a large number of cheap raincoats on the second day of heavy rain.
In the afternoon of the third day, they sold all of them ahead of schedule, earning a very considerable profit.
Among them, Somo invested 400 points and earned back nearly 680 points, a profit as high as 70%!
Sun Quan invested 90 points, and borrowed 100 points from Somo, and finally earned 310 points after deducting the interest, the same profit as high as 65%!
This time, Su Mo convinced Sun Quan of his good news, and Sun Quan convinced Su Mo of his decisive action.
Coupled with making money together, the friendship between the two began to heat up rapidly.
"Brother Su, do you think we should make a move to stock up? The price of food in the territory is very low now. If we make a move now, it must be"
Going to the gate of Liangfang, looking at the recruitment office where no one patronizes in the past, there are more than 20 people waiting to sign the contract.
While Sun Quan was amazed, he also had a plan in his mind.
However.
"Do you think the summer harvest of the territory won't be enough?" Su Mo's faint voice came.
Sun Quan was stunned, and then said in a low voice: "It's possible. It's raining too much now, and no one knows how many days it will last. If it takes a long time, the summer harvest will definitely be ruined, and the price of food will definitely rise by then."
"And even if it can be collected, the price of food can't be as cheap as before, after all, the price is here."
Before he finished speaking, looking at Su Mo's pointed eyes, Sun Quan turned his head and felt his legs go limp.
If Su Mo hadn't supported him in time, he might have knelt on the ground this time.
Zizai is at the entrance of Liangfang. In the past, there were a few young men sitting idle, receiving guests who came to ask prices and workers who came to apply for jobs.
It is rare to see outsiders who can pass through the outer hall and enter the inner hall to sit.
But today, the situation is a little different.
In the inner hall, several men wearing black uniforms and purple high rain boots sat impressively.
Beside them, as the shopkeeper of Zizai Liangfang, Zhang Minzheng kept laughing along with him, and could vaguely hear something: "I promise", "I will definitely accept it", "Your own risk" , "disaster wealth" and other words.
"The inspection team is here, Liangfang is about to enter. Wartime management?"
Looking at the Senleng pistols hanging on the waists of several men and the inspector badges on their chests, Sun Quan, who had been slow at first, immediately sped up his pace, almost half pulling Su Mo back.
It wasn't until he could no longer see a few people in his sight that he hurriedly said with a guilty conscience:
"Brother Su, there is a serious problem. The inspection team is here to ensure that there will be no problems in this year's summer harvest."
"But with our level and this **** weather, even Qiankun Grain may not be able to return the grains to the warehouse, how about we"
After opening his mouth and making a "run away" mouth shape, Sun Quan was a little wary, obviously he had experienced the power of the inspector team long ago.
As for the idea of distributing territorial disaster wealth before, I can't see the slightest bit at this time.
The rest is trembling with fear.
"Come on, the monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away, if Liangfang puts the blame on you, can you think about the consequences?"
Bring the lunch box to Sun Quan, seeing his face turned paler, Su Mo raised his hand and hung the umbrella on the wall, opened the door of the studio and walked in.
People who have just arrived in the territory may not know the power of the inspection team, but as the instigator, Sumo is clear.
After all, this thing was created by him alone, with Pei Shao, the head of the supervisor, as the first generation inspector captain.
It has been eight years since the wasteland~IndoMTL.com~ Even the previous rules have been followed by more than 90%, completely eliminating the possibility of any territorial people wanting to steal "territorial interests".
It seems that Zizai Liangfang is being targeted by the inspection team. If the food cannot be handed in on time, there is naturally only one end for waiting.
"Fortunately, the development of the first generation tool is about to be completed"
"When the time comes to use this thing, even if it can't exceed the Qiankun Liangxing, it will not be too far behind"
Looking at the work table belonging to Zhang Bowen, the energy stone sickle that is almost half-finished.
Su Mo twisted his neck, and suddenly a sense of accomplishment rose from his heart.
Of course, this sense of accomplishment is not entirely brought about by training Zhang Bowen to make a power stone sickle within four days.
What's more, Su Mo lowered his body and pulled out the huge drawing from the big drawer under the development desk!
On this patchwork drawing, which is nearly three meters long, it records the manufacturing steps that only Sumo himself can understand.
And it has almost touched the limit of knowledge that Sumo can achieve at this stage!
