Chapter 44: Sleepiness Brings a Pillow
These materials were a luxury for any other survivor in the territory, dried meat, dry food, medicine, and the ability to change out the already smelly prison uniforms on his body, Chen Chong was satisfied enough.
However, what he was most looking forward to was the spiritual fruit that could enhance the life field of the awakened.
"This fruit should be similar to something like a genius earth treasure and a century-old ginseng, but the potency is definitely not comparable. [Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong] refining and refining qi, these fruits should be able to make me cultivate faster. ”
Chen Chong quickly thought in his heart:
"According to the rules of the territory, the Captain-level Awakened can receive a material ration every half a month. Is there fifteen spiritual fruits in the package, one a day?"
Chen Chong now knew that a small part of the spiritual fruit could be artificially cultivated, but the effectiveness was much worse than that of the wild one, and the luxurious manor of the Blood General was the place where the spiritual plants were artificially cultivated, and the production of the spiritual fruit was probably not low, otherwise this dictator would never be generous enough to supply one piece a day.
Temporarily holding back the urge to immediately eat a spiritual fruit to try the effect, Chen Chong picked up the package and walked to Wei De and Lu Kai, who were waiting not far away, and asked:
"Where's the power station? ”
Seeing the bulging package on Chen Chong's back, at this moment, Wei De and Lu Kai were envious, jealous and hateful in their hearts.
Of course, they knew how rich the material rations of the captain level were, and even if Chen Chong received the lowest level of the captain level, it would be enough for him to live a good life in the territory. Not to mention anything else, just clothes and shoes, they can only get and change them once every six months!
However, jealousy is jealousy, but there is a rare lack of greed in their hearts.
This is because the sight of Chen Chong standing in the dark last night left a deep impression on them, and the silent ferocity and cruelty made them unable to have any thoughts of stealing at all, not to mention that Chen Chong seemed to have a relationship with the Blood General, unless they were disgusted with their lives, otherwise the greed had already been violently extinguished by themselves before it came out.
"Bad luck!"
Wei De and Lu Kai cursed a few times secretly, thought about Yin Hu's instructions, and still took Chen Chong in the direction of the power station.
The power station was on the westernmost side of the territory, and the trio passed through the shantytowns and factories, and after ten minutes they were already outside the power station.
What appeared in front of Chen Chong was a dilapidated factory building of about four or five hundred square meters separated by a fence, and a thick chimney on the top of the factory was spewing pitch-black smoke into the sky, the air was pungent, and pitch-black dust particles were floating everywhere.
Chen Chong looked at it for a while, and before he could walk into the gate, there was a roar of cars, and he turned around to see a dilapidated small truck spitting exhaust fumes and pulling a cart of coal on the way from him.
Chen Chong immediately flashed to the side, and the truck stopped at the gate of the power station, and then the figure of the overseer captain Yin Hu jumped down from the co-pilot, frowning at Chen Chong: "Why are you here?"
Unexpectedly, he met the Yin Tiger here, Chen Chong didn't panic at all, he was afraid to pat the package he was carrying on his back, and said with a smile:
"It's the captain of the Yin Tiger, what a coincidence. The general treats me so favorably, how can I be embarrassed to be an idler with nothing to do? I came here to see if there is any suitable work for me here. ”
Waving his hand and directing the truck to drive into the power plant, Yin Hu smiled a little mockingly, and said without yin or yang: "You will choose." ”
In a vast territory, the easiest and most tiring work is in the power station. The most relaxing are the furnace keepers in the power station, who do not have any heavy physical labor, basically only need to add coal to the boiler from time to time, and the most tiring are undoubtedly the laborers who dig the coal mine underground in the dark.
In his opinion, Chen Chong undoubtedly wanted to choose the easiest job of guarding the furnace, just to whitewash his laziness.
However, it is only relatively speaking, compared to other factory jobs, working in the coal ash of power stations for a long time will inevitably lead to lung disease, which will undoubtedly not live long in this era of lack of medical treatment.
"The power station is small, there are not many people needed, and the work is relatively easy, all of which are done by brothers who have made contributions. Now there is no shortage of people, and the foreman of the power station has to be asked. ”
Without any intention of reminding Chen Chong at all, Yin Hu said lightly with his hands behind his back:
"Come with me. ”
Chen Chong didn't know the situation inside the power station, and he didn't care about the Yin Tiger's vague ridicule, and followed him into the factory.
As soon as he entered the factory, a burning sensation came to his face, and Chen Chong only saw that the spacious space was separated by a wall, and five of the boilers exuded a scorching gas, and the coal conveyor that was opened from time to time spewed out a blazing fire. Behind the walls, five generators lined up with a humming roar.
In front of the five boilers, five men with different appearances talked and laughed leisurely, scooped up the coal in front of them and sent it into the boiler, and when they saw the Yin Tiger who suddenly walked in, they hurriedly pretended to be working hard.
Ignoring these people, Yin Hu took Chen Chong all the way around the complicated pipeline line, walked down the narrow passage to a room in the deepest part of the factory, and directly pushed the door in.
The room was a mess, foul-smelling, full of wires, parts, and a mess of clutter. There was a folding bed in the clutter pile, and a thin old man was curled up on the bed, his hair tangled and dirty, and he was sleeping soundly.
Yin Hu frowned, the short whip in his hand suddenly made a crisp sound in the air, and his mouth said unceremoniously: "Old man Xu!
Chen Chong suddenly noticed that although Yin Hu was not polite on his mouth, he did not pull the whip down as the captain of the overseer, and it seemed that the identity of this old man was a little different.
The crisp whip sounded like thunder, and the old man lying on the bed opened his eyes, and was stunned for a moment after seeing the Yin Tiger at the door, as if his brain was a little dull, and then quickly stood up and coughed:
"It's the Captain of the Yin Tiger...... I'm sorry, old man, I'm a little unwell today......"
"Rely on the old and sell the old! If you can't die, you will honestly work for the general! Just watch the motor work, you will not be tired!"
Yin Tiger's expression was cold, and he scolded:
"Let me ask you, are there any vacancies here? Find a job for the kid behind me!"
"Yes, yes, just ...... came"
Old man Xu secretly glanced at Chen Chong behind Yin Hu, and hurriedly rubbed his hands and smiled:
"Two nights ago, that kid Kuroko had a lung attack and coughed to death, and now there is no one to keep vigil at night, and I haven't had time to report to the captain yet. However, the vigil of the power station is not easier than the daytime, and it is not lazy at all, this kid is ...... with you."
Vigil?
Behind the Yin Tiger, Chen Chong's eyes drooped, and he only felt that he was dozing and sent a pillow, and he was pleasantly surprised!
