Zerg Emperor of the End Times

Chapter 130 Plain Development

Three days later, at noon, the sky was scorchingly sunny, and waves of heat wave hit our faces, making people feel irritable and unbearable.

At this moment, outside the Lishan base, on a plain a few kilometers away from the base, thousands of sweaty survivors are carrying hoes, and under the scorching sun, they are digging and leveling the plain, clearing the weeds on it, so that the plain can be carried out. food growing.

Soldiers were watching all around the plain. Although they were suffering from the scorching heat, no one dared to be lazy, for fear of losing the hard-earned job.

Near the plain, Wang Jin stood on the roof of the Hummer and asked Zhang Zhouming under the Hummer, "Zhang Zhouming, when will this plain be dug up and the sweet potato seeds planted."

"Report to Lord City Master, with our current manpower, it can be completed within a week. Planting the sweet potato seeds will not delay our planting opportunity."

Zhang Zhouming wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to Wang Jin.

After being appointed by Wang Jin, Zhang Zhouming did not relax for a moment, and devoted all his energy to the plains, striving for an early harvest, giving Wang Jin a satisfactory answer, and seeking a good future for himself.

Wang Jin nodded after listening, looked at many survivors who were crumbling under the scorching sun, and said to Zhang Zhouming: "Since there is enough time, let these survivors rest and give them saliva to drink, so as not to die here from exhaustion."

"Yes, I would like to thank Lord City Master for his kindness on their behalf."

Zhang Zhouming said from the bottom of his heart that because these survivors did not eat well after the apocalypse, their physical fitness was generally poor, and they had been doing high-intensity physical labor under the sun.

Zhang Zhouming was also a survivor in the past. He knew the hardships of the survivors, and he didn't oppress them like this. Wang Jin came to inspect today. In order to make a good impression on Wang Jin, Zhang Zhouming ordered the survivors to continue working hard.

Now with Wang Jin's order, Zhang Zhouming would naturally not refuse, and knocked on the gong twice to indicate to the survivors that they could rest.

The system issued by Zhang Zhouming, knocking a gong once means starting work, twice means finishing work, and three times means eating. This is a good way to dispatch the survivors, and you don't have to work hard to shout with a loudspeaker.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the survivors exhaled in unison, and hurried to avoid the scorching sun.

Now is the hottest time of the day, and the temperature can reach 36 or 37 degrees. These survivors are weak, and it is very difficult to live in such a temperature. If Wang Jin reminded them, many of them almost fainted to the ground.

On the side of the plain, there is a simple pavilion, that is, a simple pavilion with wooden piles on both sides and thatch on the top.

The survivors were ordered to quickly enter these gazebos and lie down on the ground covered with hay to rest.

Wang Jin's system for them is to work at 5 o'clock every morning, let them go home at [-] o'clock in the evening, and have a two-hour break at noon.

In order to take care of them, Wang Jin set up a porridge point here for the porridge distributed by the base every day. Every morning and noon, you can drink the porridge. You don’t have to run a few kilometers back and forth to delay your working time. After work in the afternoon, you can get two taels of sweet potatoes. Going home is the end of the day's work.

Although it is hard work and a lot of physical labor is required every day, none of these survivors complained. Compared with hard work, hunger is the most terrible torture.

I don't know how many survivors in the base envy them. If they don't do it, there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to take over their jobs.

For example, there are many survivors on the outskirts of the plain now, looking around eagerly at their work. These survivors pick wild vegetables and catch insects every day, and the food they get is not as much as two taels of sweet potatoes, and it is also very unpalatable, so they Only these survivors are envious of being able to work as long-term workers for Wang Jin.

After observing here for a while, Wang Jin drove the Hummer and continued on. It didn't take long before he came to a larger-scale labor site.

This is the outskirts of the plain area. More than 3000 captive soldiers are carrying hoes and carrying poles, working hard, digging fish ponds and a large ditch connecting the river.

Unlike the survivors, these soldiers had no rest time. Even if the weather was hottest at noon, they continued to work. They had no sweet potatoes to receive, and they had nothing else to eat except gruel twice a day.

Before Wang Jin took control of the Lishan base, these soldiers lived in relatively good conditions and had relatively good physical fitness. They were able to persevere in the face of such strenuous labor, and they did not suffer from large-scale heatstroke.

If it was difficult for the survivors to dig the ground, it would be miserable for the captured soldiers to dig ditches and fish ponds.

The ground in the plain is soft, but the ground here is hard, and the captured soldiers have to dig deeper. The deeper the soil, the harder it is, making it difficult for the captured soldiers to dig. It often takes several times the effort to dig out the land.

Even many veterans are complaining endlessly. They have blisters on their callused palms after years of training, and their bodies are weak from exhaustion, which shows how intense the labor is.

The emotions of a large number of soldiers continued to accumulate and deteriorate, and the slogan of strike rang out day by day. Wang Jin had long been prepared for this group of violent soldiers.

Unlike the few survivors who patrolled the plains, there are 300 fully armed soldiers stationed at this working place, and high watchtowers are scattered around. Turn it into a hornet's nest for a while.

In addition, Wang Jin's swarm troop also had five hundred patrolling here, staring at the captured soldiers with ferocious eyes, preventing them from escaping and rioting.

Noah is stationed here to prevent accidents, so that the high-end force monitoring can ensure nothing goes wrong.

Although Wang Jin is not planning to keep these soldiers imprisoned forever, he definitely needs to maximize their value before releasing them. Apart from their entire base, there is really no better labor force like this, and there is no need to pay food for wages. Where can I find such good things?

As for the riot, it was just a joke in front of Wang Jin's military strength, not to mention that these soldiers were unarmed. They were defeated by Wang Jin when they had guns, cannons and armored vehicles, let alone now.

Accompanied by He Youxi, Wang Jin inspected, and accidentally saw an old acquaintance, Lu Yuanhuai, the head of the Yuan Army.

He is now the chief of staff appointed by Wang Jin. He is training Wang Jin's recruits in the Ministry of Public Security. He has trained the lazy recruits impressively. Driven by new recruits and veterans.

Since Wang Jin asked Chen Dong to recruit a thousand veterans to join the Ministry of Public Security last time, Lu Yuanhuai also became the chief of staff by the way, but he just asked Wang Jin to lift the personal restrictions on Meng Quan, so don't embarrass this teacher.

Wang Jin agreed to his request. Except for the barracks where Meng Quan was not allowed to approach, he could go anywhere in the base, so that he could become an old man to support his life. Although he had no real power, he could spend his old age with peace of mind.

Now Lu Yuanhuai came here naturally to visit the working captive soldiers. For this reason, Lu Yuanhuai petitioned many times, but was rejected by Wang Jin. He said bluntly that if you can help me dig the fish ponds and ditches, I will release all these soldiers, and The food was only gruel twice a day, so Lu Yuanhuai had nothing to say in the end.

In addition to suppressing the residual value of these soldiers, Wang Jin also considered tempering and tempering the temperament of these soldiers. In the future, these soldiers will not be released all at once, but will be released one after another to become ordinary survivors, so as to avoid these soldiers. The gathering of soldiers has a bad effect on the base.
