Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

It was called an election, but in reality, it was just Team Leader Du testing the two men's abilities. Seeing that they were both top marksmen in both shooting and fighting skills, he didn't say much and immediately recruited them.

He also asked Deputy Captain Du, whose surname was Du, to equip the two with weapons: a Type 92 semi-automatic pistol with a magazine of 20 bullets; and a well-made bow with a quiver of 20 arrows.

These are the weapons that the water protection team members always carry with them, and the other weapons are locked in a special room on the cruise ship.

In the morning, a surprise training exercise was conducted, focusing on how to best respond if an ambush is discovered in the water while on a cruise ship.

Captain Du's team consists of 20 people, including 2 captains and deputy captains, 12 selected from the army, and the other 6 recommended, including Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.

Since they arrived the latest, it's no wonder that they were targeted by the furious Captain Du.

After a sweaty training, it was time to have lunch.

At noon, I had rice with a box lunch and a bowl of seaweed and bean sprout soup.

The lunch box is chicken stewed with potatoes. The taste is average, but there are a lot of chicken pieces and the portion is large enough to fill you up.

The cruise ship is large and has a dedicated dining area. In addition to the water protection team members, there are 5 mechanics on the cruise ship who are responsible for setting up water pipes and transporting water, and 6 cruise ship crew members.

There are 31 people in total.

After lunch and a short rest, the cruise ship set sail.

When the cruise ship made a loud roar, many people in the service hall looked out of the windows and waved, wishing them a safe journey.

A few dozen kilometers is not a long distance for a cruise ship, and it only takes more than an hour to get there.

At this time, the Jiyun Mountain Scenic Area has been taken over and guarded by the troops.

Jiyun Mountain is now the only piece of land in the entire J City, and it has clean water resources, so its strategic position is very important.

Some people suggested building a safe base here or transferring the city’s residents here.

However, as Zhou Shuwan said before, because of the existence of the Tianyan Lake Reservoir, once the flood exceeds the critical value of the dam, those living below the Tianyan Lake Reservoir will face a catastrophic disaster.

The Cumulus Mountains are full of huge steep cliffs. Apart from some open spaces along the road that were developed by previous residents to build houses, there is simply not enough flat land for the survivors of the entire city to use.

According to the "prophet", the flood season will end completely in two years. After the flood recedes, a new natural disaster will come. At that time, the submerged land and buildings will see the light of day again, and there will be no need to go to great lengths to relocate.

So, the proposed relocation plan was shelved.

Because of its important strategic position, troops must be dispatched to bring it under complete official control.

Before the authorities took over, several conflicts had broken out here, and dozens of local villagers were killed or injured.

Therefore, the villagers also support the official takeover. Although they are not as free to move in and out as usual, their safety is fully guaranteed.

At this time, along the flood bank to the parking lot, several important roads in Jiyun Mountain were blocked by barbed wire.

When Zhou Shuwan and his team arrived, there was a team of soldiers in camouflage uniforms taking turns at the place where the land met the flood.

Cruise ships have a heavy draft and cannot get too close to the shore.

Team leader Du selected several members of the water protection team to escort the mechanical workers ashore.

The mechanics made several trips back and forth, transporting all kinds of equipment used to install water pipes to the shore.

There are also several high-power batteries.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were both on guard around the boat. Their mission was simple, but they could not be neglected.

That is, to guard whether there are any unidentified ships or suspicious people around, who may attack the water supplies or the cruise ship.

The water pipe is very thick and long and needs to be connected to Tianyan Lake. The village chief called some young people in the village to help.

After tinkering for more than an hour, the water finally flowed into the water tank unimpeded.

The preliminary preparation work is very troublesome, but when it really flows, the speed is also very fast. The water tank is full after two hours.

After putting away the huge water pipes and various equipment, the captain started the cruise ship and set off.

The test for the water protection team has just begun.

For some people, it is much easier to rob a cruise ship that can move freely and is guarded by only a few people than to rob a heavily guarded reservoir that cannot move.

This is why the Guard is important.

But probably because it was the first time for the cruise ship to travel, the sea was calm all the way to the water plant. Occasionally, when they encountered ships looking for supplies, they hurried to avoid them and did not dare to make any provocative behavior at all.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I watched the mechanical workers and the workers in the water plant work together to transport the water to the water plant safely and smoothly.

At this point, the water protection team’s mission has ended.

When getting off the boat, the enthusiastic Meng Mingyue was already getting along well with Zhou Shuwan, and she also told them that this was a special period and their salary would be paid once every two weeks.

Their water protection team has a higher salary than the crew members and mechanical workers. Every half month, each person is given a 10-jin sealed bag of rice, 15 packs of compressed biscuits, 2 packs of dry goods, and 8 bottles of canned pork or fish.

Zhou Shuwan was surprised: "So many!"

In the apocalypse, she was used to seeing wages being paid in units of a few packs of compressed biscuits, and she truly felt that the water protection team's treatment was truly generous.

It is no problem for one person's salary to support two or three people.

Meng Mingyue smiled and said, "Of course, the salary of our water protection team is comparable to that of the average staff working in the service hall."

Yes, those who live on the edge of a knife should of course be paid more.

Zhou Shuwan felt relieved and thought of Mayor Lu, whom she had never met but had arranged for her and Qi Mingyu to join the water protection team. She felt a strong liking for him.

She and Qi Mingyu rowed back to the community together.

As soon as I knocked on the door, it was opened.

Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun pulled her up and down and looked her up and down, as if they wanted to see if she was injured.

This is different from Zhou Shuwan secretly going out to look for supplies at night. It is more dangerous, so it is no wonder that the couple is nervous.

Zhou Shuwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his arms and turned around, saying with a smile, "It's really okay. Everything has been smooth sailing all the way. Don't worry, we represent the authorities. No one would be so foolish as to go against them!"

She also told the two about the salary payment.

Zhou Jianghai smacked his lips, pondered it for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "So many? Well, Wanwan, when you get familiar with the job, ask them if they still need a maintenance worker or something. I'm not a professional, but I'm learning maintenance at home every day. If I can go and get half the salary, that's fine!"

Half of the salary is enough for an adult man to eat and drink.

If there were such a salary now, people who have been idle at home for almost four months would scramble to get it!
