blood plague

Chapter 307 Unfamiliar
The parking lot is 300 meters away from the entrance of Jixi Town. From time to time, people can be seen getting off their cars and rushing towards Jixi Town in the parking lot, and there are also people returning to the parking lot with a full load of supermarket trolleys.

These are the people who catch the early market.

Generally speaking, people who are far away usually enter Rapid Creek Town in the morning. They need to get rid of the goods in their hands, then buy what they need, and then rush back home before dark.

This is the same as when the peasants of the Celestial Dynasty went to the market in the past. They often got up before dawn and walked in the dark, waiting for the gate of Jixi Town to open, and immediately swarmed in.

Because although the Gospel team received an unlimited amount of goods, their appraisers were like old court officials in a pawn shop, keeping the price extremely low.

It’s not a large number of commodities that need to be processed. For example, a certain team opened a container, which was filled with a whole container of daily necessities; or ordinary people can’t afford these things, or they can’t afford to use them even if they buy them. , such as a .50 caliber anti-instrument rifle.

Apart from these relatively special circumstances, everyone still likes to engage in free trade, commonly known as street stalls.

In this regard, the Gospel Team does not charge entry fees, stall fees, or transaction fees. These public services are completely free.

Laymen feel that the Gospel team is losing money and making money. What they don’t know is that the larger the trade volume and the wider the trade flow, the more currency is needed.

There is only one source of currency, which is issued by the Gospel Team.Now there are even specialized economists in the Gospel team to calculate the ratio of goods in circulation to the amount of money in order to stabilize prices.

Through the price difference of bulk commodities and minting coins, the current wealth of the Gospel team is far from what it used to be. In order to store rich materials, the Jixi Town Workshop has transformed a large number of originally idle buildings into fireproof warehouses.

Affluent supplies and great popularity, coupled with everyone's gradual understanding of the Gospel Team, the number of people queuing up to apply to join the Gospel Team is gradually increasing, and the Gospel Team has long since gotten rid of the shortage of manpower.

The most difficult thing for a team is the initial start-up stage. Once the team grows up, it will grow by itself.

Iger and Joanna looked at the long line of people waiting for the security check, and they continued to choose to jump in line.

Iger held the plastic storage box in his hand and led Joanna directly towards the entrance. Before reaching the checkpoint, a guard with a gun stepped forward and stopped the two of them.

This time Iger didn't wait for the guard to speak, he said to the guard first: "I'm Iger Lee from Rose Town, I need to see the chairman immediately."

The guards with guns didn't know Iger, and the names Rosetown and Iger Lee were not enough to make her let her guard down.

After the gun-wielding guard glanced at his companion, another male partner also came up with a gun, and the two escorted Iger and Joanna into Rapid Creek Town one after the other.

In the guard room on the street inside the gate of Jixi Town, the guard politely said to Iger and Joanna, asking them to store their weapons in the guard room.

Now in Jixi Town, except for field personnel and security personnel, other personnel are not allowed to carry guns.

The guard explained that this was because there was an extremely serious shooting incident in Jixi Town, so since Chairman Andy, he has ordered ordinary internal staff not to be equipped with guns.

Iger and Joanna did as they did, and they unarmed themselves and put them in the locker.

This is the first time Iger has been unarmed in half a year, and I am really not used to it.

Afterwards, the two armed guards returned to the gate post, and another internal affairs receptionist received them.

Iger can see from the little episode at the gate that firstly, Jixi Town is very prosperous, and its prosperity has exceeded my imagination; They are very conscientious, and the quality of their personnel is significantly higher than those foolish guys before.

The third is that Iger and Joanna found that most of the people wearing uniforms in Rapid Creek Town did not know them, and similarly, these newcomers in Rapid Creek Town did not know either of them.

This was originally their home, but it has become so strange in just one month.

"Hi, Iger!"

Iger heard a passionate cry, and he turned his head to see a plump woman screaming and ran over, and she hugged Iger in her arms.

"Thank God, you're finally back!" Avra ​​hugged Iger tightly, making Iger enjoy it for a while, no, it was a little embarrassing.

After all, Iger is not that 10-year-old kid anymore, and excessive intimacy can easily cause some misunderstandings.

Elvira finally let go of Iger, and she said to the internal affairs guide: "They will leave it to me."

"Yes, sir." The internal affairs guide saluted Elvira, then turned and left.

The gospel team is not the same as before. In this world, there is no round table that can always be equal.

Afterwards, Elvira enthusiastically led Iger into the Morgan Building. As for Joanna, she went shopping.

……

The fourth floor of Jixi Town has been completely transformed into the chairman's office. Of course, there is only one room that really belongs to the chairman. Other places, such as the living room, have all been transformed into the secretary's office.

Iger followed Elvira to the fourth floor by taking the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened, Iger looked at these well-dressed men and women holding documents in their hands and walking windily. He had a feeling of returning to the company in his previous life.

Maria formed a secretarial team of 10 people, and Elvira naturally assumed the extremely important position of secretary-general. Her main job was to replace Maria in handling affairs with distinguished guests, including welcoming guests and preliminary negotiation ; and the other secretaries, they are all really talented people.

This is the biggest difference between Maria and Andy.

Andy thinks that balance is the most important thing in a team, but Andy is the one who holds the balance, and other people are just weights stacked on both ends of the balance. Keep the scales balanced.

Maria knows how to delegate power, and her secretaries are not working hard to get higher material treatment.

Andy has always believed that people live for profit, but he didn't consider another possibility: there is a kind of people who really don't care about material interests.

The Evangelical Church is continuously providing Maria with talents that can be used. In this respect, poor Andy will not be able to keep up with Maria no matter how many times he exhausts himself to death.

……

After Elvira opened the door, Iger walked in, and then Elvira closed the office door.

Maria was looking down at something, she said without raising her head, "Sorry, please wait a moment."

Iger walked to her desk and stood. He saw that Maria was drawing a form in a notebook and filling in the form.

Maria has already missed the best learning age. She still can't learn to use a computer. For her, manual work is the most reliable.

Take it slow, anyway, there are not many things that need her to verify manually now.

Finally, Maria finished filling in the last data, and she will add them up later. This is relatively simple, and Maria can use a calculator.

After Maria put down her pen, she raised her head and saw Iger smiling at her. She dropped the document in her hand in surprise, stood up and walked quickly towards Iger.

Just when Iger thought Maria would rush to him and hug him, Maria stopped a step away. She looked at Iger with relief and undisguised joy on her face.

After the death of Father Locke, both Maria and Iger transferred part of their affection for him to each other. Originally, the relationship between the two was neither sweet nor cold, but now they are as close as blood relatives.

After Maria took Iger to sit down, she first told Iger about what happened on the board of directors of the Gospel Team.

Iger had already heard Bella talk about these things, but after hearing what Maria said again, Iger felt that Andy was really pitiful.

Girlfriend broke up with me.

The ex-girlfriend got involved with his competent subordinate.

The ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend ran up to him to brag, and the ex-girlfriend was pregnant.

The ex-girlfriend kidnapped his right-hand subordinate.

Knife crit.

Iger also let out a long sigh. He always felt that Andy was not the same as himself. Strictly speaking, the woodcarver in that luxury villa was Andy's kind.

There are some people whose desire for power is very strong. For them, power is everything in the world.

Therefore, those centralized people in history often lived a private life with few desires. It does not mean that they were self-disciplined, but that apart from rights, nothing else aroused their interest.

Afterwards, Iger told Maria in detail what happened to him in the past month.

First of all, he focused on Dina. After all, Dina does not represent a single person. Behind her is a huge force with unfathomable strength.

To be honest, Iger is terrified of the strength of the tip of the iceberg shown by the military. They have the force to destroy everything, including the destruction of Puduo County.

Dina said that the military does not have the concept of production personnel, and the materials in the two doomsday bunkers are enough to allow the military to last for a long time just by pure consumption.

Since there are no production personnel, all but the researchers and necessary clerical staff are combat personnel.

It can be said that when a newcomer joins the military, the only arrangement waiting for him is to enter the combat unit.

Iger does not comment on the military's approach. After all, everyone's living environment is different.Near the military base, the number of infected people is not comparable to Pudu County, they may be counted in millions.

Such a huge number is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are at least 4 million people in the entire United States. According to the 90% fatality rate of the blood plague outbreak, there are 3.6 ​​million infected people after the blood plague.Even if the old, weak, sick and disabled who are unable to move are excluded, there are at least 3 million infected people who can migrate and move around.

Of course, the land of America is so big, and the 3 million infected people can't take up too much space, so although Iger doesn't advocate running around, he also feels that there is no need to fight with infected people in first-tier big cities. Dead Gang.

However, Iger is in awe of anyone who fights the infected, as long as I don't pull me into a strong man.Every day when you open your eyes, you kill monsters with a gun, 7 days a week, all year round. It's strange if people don't go crazy after a long time.

Chatting with Maria finally diluted Iger's strangeness, and the feeling of home came back.

Jixi Town is where Iger grew up, and this is his natal home.
