"What a fart, you haven't raised your body and bones in the past few months, look at them, many people can't even get their full salary." He has worked in infrastructure and worked as a small worker, and he has a deep understanding of the physical effort of this job.

And the people he was referring to were the new laborers in the neighborhood, some of whom looked weary, emaciated, and eighty percent of them were chronically malnourished, and it was not easy for each of them to carry two sides of wet soil a day.

"Hey, Lao Niu is right, my partner is a newcomer, and even the clothes don't weigh 100 pounds. You have to take two breaks from the bottom up, and it's good to get half of your salary. Well, there is only one steamed bun for lunch. ”

The scalper's statement was immediately supported by the fat sheep, he listened to Hong Tao's arrangement, deliberately dragged behind and did not get a temporary ID card with everyone, so he naturally became a lonely person, so he had to find someone else to partner with.

Looking in the direction of the fat sheep's finger, there was a dirty man sitting on the mound more than ten meters away. The figure is about the same as that of a teenager, with thin arms and legs, both thin cheeks are in it, and his face is at least 30 years older, holding a broken canned food box and munching on steamed buns.

"We may have killed the wrong person last night......" Hong Tao looked at the person and suddenly said without a head.

As soon as the words "......" came out, several people around looked at each other, not quite understanding what it meant.

"Give him this steamed bun!" Hong Tao didn't explain, and handed the steamed bun in his hand to the fat sheep. It's not that you can't eat enough and you have to pity others, but there is no shortage of oil and water in your stomach, and you really can't eat so much in one meal.

As for saving it for the evening, there is no need for such savings, especially after gaining an ill-gotten gain, eating and drinking will no longer be a problem for a long time.

As soon as he thought of the people who were killed last night, Hong Tao regretted it a little, and he shouldn't have made a hasty decision. How to say, I am afraid that I have lived in a harsh environment for too long, and I am a little uncomfortable with a relatively relaxed environment, and I am used to killing to solve the problem when I encounter a little trouble.

As everyone knows, the rules here are fundamentally different from those of Xinjiang Province, and many times it is no longer a situation where you are living and dying, and it is possible to solve it with more gentle means.

Although Youlong Labor Company's approach is a bit immoral, what they do is not all bad. Take this person as an example, if he hadn't been deceived by the labor company, I am afraid that he would have starved to death in less than a month or two.

The reason is that the group of people carried too many packages, and spent a lot of money to find a relationship to clear the customs, and a fool can guess that there must be a lot of good things, which attracted greed.

That's right, the labor company will deduct part of the wages of the workers every month, and they are 100% parasites lying on the bodies of the homeless people drinking blood. But on the other hand, if you think about it, if it weren't for these vampires, many homeless people would probably starve to death, so they would be saving people.

Overall, the first day of work went smoothly, and everyone except for the fat sheep earned enough work. Hong Tao didn't let people go over to help the fat sheep work, which was too eye-catching. In fact, that steamed bun has already attracted the serious attention of the nearby homeless people, and the eyes that look at it are full of puzzlement.

But from the next day, Hong Tao's group could not earn full work, they only worked until noon, and left after lunch. Where to go in the afternoon, of course, to look for building materials.

Lu Wei'an is quite reliable, and it only took one day to almost complete the procedures for buying a house. Although he has not yet obtained the real estate certificate, as long as he pays off the purchase price of 3,000 yuan within these two days, this small building belongs to him in principle.

Now that the house is in place, it is supposed that the next step is to renovate it. But the new world is a bit different from the old world, most of the houses are not rough houses but frames, and decoration alone is not enough to meet the living needs. So the first step is to repair, from the walls to the roof, and the doors and windows must be installed.

At first, Hong Tao wanted to go to the market to buy building materials, doors and windows and come back, but he followed Lu Wei'an to the market in the north and came back without buying anything except for his eyes.

It's too expensive, that's why Hong Tao went home empty-handed. Now he finally understands why no one has bought the small building for so many years, if it is calculated according to the price in the market, just buying ready-made windows and doors will almost catch up with the money of half of the small building, and he is not short of money and cannot cheapen those profiteers in vain.

Isn't it just bricks, tiles, doors and windows, such a big city, so many buildings, building materials can't be said to be readily available, and it's not difficult to tear some back from the surroundings, why is it so expensive?

In fact, it is not really that scarcity is expensive, but due to certain regulations and actual conditions of the alliance, there is a serious shortage of building materials, the first of which is the division of the safety zone and the red zone.

According to the rules of the Alliance, the area in the control area that is guarded by the Union soldiers, and is managed by the security team and the administrative body is called the Green Zone, commonly known as the Security Zone, and vice versa.

Displaced persons living in safe zones are obliged to comply with the rules and regulations established by the Alliance, and then have the right to the services provided by the Alliance. For example, the provision of tap water, electricity, coal, oil and food for a fee, as well as security patrols, legal protection, education, and so on.

Displaced people living in the Red Zone are not subject to the laws of the Union and are certainly not eligible for services. Not only will they face the test of nature, but they will also be harassed and threatened by other displaced people, and at the same time, they will be arrested by the alliance soldiers for illegally invading the territory controlled by the alliance.

According to Lu Wei'an's explanation, this provision did not exist from the beginning, although a safe zone was also demarcated back then, but it did not restrict the freedom of residence of the displaced people, except within the moat, there was no restriction on where they wanted to live.

However, as the number of displaced people increased, the fighting between them also intensified, and the number of casualties continued to increase. It is said that at that time, there was also a lot of opposition from the displaced people, who tried to gather for confrontation and fight for the right to have only a choice, but in the face of the coalition army, they finally had to give in.

In this way, the personal safety of the displaced people has indeed been greatly guaranteed, but there are always good and bad sides to everything, and while safety has improved, the building materials that were originally available everywhere have suddenly become in-demand materials.

Although the alliance has been expanding the security zone as much as possible over the years, providing more housing for living and sources of building materials that can be demolished and misappropriated, it is still unable to meet the growing needs of the displaced people, and the price has gradually increased.

There will be a market for demand, especially when it comes to the necessities of human life, food, drink, housing and transportation, and the policy alone must not be stopped, so an industry has been derived in the displaced area, demolition, and the official name is the freight company!

They would obtain permits through various connections, organize reasonable and legal manpower to go to the ruins of nearby towns, search from house to house, and bring back all the materials that could be used to sell, including building materials.

It's just that in this way, there are several more links in the middle, and the cost has also risen significantly. Bricks, tiles, doors and windows, which were originally not worth a few dollars, were increased in price layer by layer.

If you want to ask why you can't go to the south and southeast of the city to find building materials nearby, you don't need Lu Wei'an to explain that Hong Tao knows the answer. This direction is exactly the path of the zombie tide attack back then, starting from outside the Fifth Ring Road, almost every street is covered with traces of the battle between survivors and zombies, including a large number of zombie remains.

Even if the alliance doesn't prohibit the homeless, they don't want to go to the zombie pile, and if they get sick, everything will be over. Compared to life and death, the living conditions are really nothing.

But in this case, why does the alliance have to set up a settlement in the southeast, the scale is still so huge, isn't it obviously contrary to the policy formulated by him, is it afraid of infection or not?

To be precise, it's not that you are not afraid, but that you have to do it. The first settlements were indeed set up in the northern part of the city, and they were also very successful. To this day, the displaced population area in the north of the city is still the largest grain producing area and animal husbandry area in the capital.

However, with the increasing scale of petrochemical and smelting bases near Jinmen, together with the gradual recovery of the machining, shipbuilding, and aquatic industries, the processing and manufacturing bases mainly in the southeast of the city have been born.
