The influx of a large number of survivors has brought a rich labor force to Light Chaser City.
The materials collected by the engineers finally had a use.
Dozens of tower cranes were erected in Zhuguang City at the same time, and a large number of construction sites began to break ground.
The Public Security Department, which Tang Zheng established just yesterday, had to expand the department today.
The Public Security Department suddenly expanded from two people to ninety people, two full platoons.
Some conscripts enlisted in the army and immediately put on the security uniforms designed by Guo Yunxin.
The security uniforms of the empire are blue, but in Zhuguang City where Tang Zheng is located, the security uniforms are designed to be gray.
The configuration is slightly different from that of the army. Security officers do not need to be equipped with grenades or marching backpacks. Instead, they are equipped with police explosion-proof shields and handcuffs.
Some security officers carry rifles, while others carry pistols and blast shields.
Everyone is equipped with a trench knife, and all squad leaders are equipped with walkie-talkies.
It was impossible not to expand. Thousands of people poured into Chasing Light City at once. There was already some chaos in the city, and someone had to maintain order.
In addition to the Public Security Department, Zhuguang City also needs an internal affairs department.
But in this department, most combatants are not competent. According to the system, it is difficult for combatants to master some delicate tasks.
Only scientific research soldiers have the brains to adapt to the work of internal affairs.
Although Guo Yun is the Minister of Scientific Research, many internal affairs work now needs to be done by him. Tang Zheng could only let Guo Yun take on the internal affairs work at the same time, and added ten scientific research soldiers in one go to take over the internal affairs work first.
In fact, Tang Zheng wants to leave these things to the survivors, but currently these survivors are all from outside and don't understand each other, so important work cannot be left to them yet.
At the same time, there is also the work of collecting supplies. Several of Tang Zheng's main companies are fighting outside, engineering troops are building, and city guards are defending the city. There are no extra manpower to go out to collect.
Although Tang Zheng's troops still have some quotas, several main companies are not yet full, and some units have not been replenished. For example, the Army Aviation Regiment is severely short of men, and it is impossible for him to purchase a team specifically responsible for collection work.
Tang Zheng had no choice but to let Ji Yuntian, the director of the Public Security Department, take charge of this matter. If mercenaries and adventurers came to Chasing Light City, he could leave this matter to them.
The materials they collect can be handed over to the interior department. Currently, the interior department is located at the door of the material recycling station, and the materials can be sent directly to the warehouse.
But new problems arise.
How to calculate supplies and how to compensate mercenaries and adventurer teams at that time are all problems.
Because whether it is Zhuangguang City or the Alliance, so far, they have adopted the traditional trading method of barter. So far, nothing that can replace the previous currency has emerged.
Money in the past has no value anymore. It is too large and can be collected everywhere, making it worthless.
Other places, on the other hand, do not have the ability to issue currency, and even if it is issued, it may not be recognized by people.
Because the issuance of a local currency not only requires a place for consumption, but also requires comprehensive evaluation in all aspects.
First of all, your base must be secure enough so that your currency can have a basis for existence. Otherwise, one day you will be occupied and captured at any time, and your currency will become useless paper.
This is crucial if you want survivors to trust and recognize your currency.
Although Light Chaser City seems indestructible, it has not established such a status in the hearts of the survivors.
Perhaps, this requires the victory of a large-scale war to prove that they are qualified to issue currency.
When Guo Yun suggested to Tang Zheng that he could consider issuing currency, Tang Zheng decisively refused.
It's not the right time yet, it's still too far away.
Although primitive bartering is very troublesome, it can only go on like this for now.
As for the rewards and compensation for the adventurer team and mercenaries, Tang Zheng decided to use weapons, vehicles, etc.
So far, no other base in Tang Zheng has mastered the acid-resistant technology, so whether it is weapons or vehicles, everyone is in short supply.
Especially weapons, Tang Zheng also holds a large number of guns and ammunition in his hands. Although they are some of the past styles, they are not bad at all for fighting zombies.
Tang Zheng also has a lot of vehicles here. In addition to the ones he can buy himself, there are also hundreds of vehicles that have been collected and treated with anti-acid and piled up in the base these days.
Among them, all the construction vehicles were used by Tang Zheng and others, and most of them were off-road vehicles.
Tang Zheng has no use for these vehicles here, but they are good things for other survivors.
After the internal affairs department was established, Tang Zheng came over immediately and had an intense discussion with these scientific researchers.
After Tang Zheng paid close attention, engineers and soldiers went into battle, and a simple mobile room hall was built in less than a day.
This hall is named the Zhuguang Trading Registration Hall.
The main task of the hall is to be responsible for population registration, task release, material transactions, etc.
The original plan was to install an electronic screen in the hall, but this thing had not been collected before, so it had to be replaced with a large blackboard.
On the left side of the hall, a large display cabinet is set up.
There is nothing else in the showcase, they are all weapons.
Tang Zheng put in hundreds of guns at once, most of them were 98K rifles, as well as Type 05 pistols and Colt Duelist pistols.
Even AK47, Tang Zheng put in dozens of them.
Two light machine guns were also put in.
There are also a large number of yellow and orange bullets, a large number of boxes of grenades, etc.
These guns are commodities used for trading.
Of course, there are still vehicles, but they are no longer placed indoors. They are currently placed outdoors in the open space.
A security squad was dispatched to cooperate with two squads from the Public Security Department to guard the place 24 hours a day.
During the construction of the trading floor, Xiao Dili's radio station announced this news.
Any adventurer team, mercenary team, and other civilian survivor teams that come to the Light-Chasing City can send supplies to the Light-Chasing City.
There are strict accounting standards based on the value of materials.
After the value is determined by people from the interior department, these teams can receive weapons, vehicles, etc. of equal value in the trading hall.
If you don't need weapons, you can also get points for Light Chaser City by paying supplies.
Point cards are issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are temporarily produced by scientific research soldiers.
Points cards are like temporary currency, with different denominations.
These points can be retained or used to purchase homestead land in Zhuguang City to build your own house.
At present, the temporary work sheds and mobile homes built by survivors are not long-term ownership. If you want to own your own homestead for a long time, you must purchase it through a points card.
Once the news was sent out, it immediately aroused great repercussions among the surrounding survivor groups.
Three days have passed since the broadcast was released in Chasing Light City. Many survivors have already gone there. So far, the feedback is still good.
However, it is impossible to attract everyone to go there simply by relying on these and celebrity effects. Many people have been building their own small bases for a long time and do not want to change places.
But things are different now. With the promotion of interests and the demand for materials, too many people are tempted.
Not to mention anything else, the weapons alone are enough to impress too many people.
Especially those groups of adventurers who make a living by collecting supplies are too short of weapons.
Some of the adventurers Tang Zheng saw at the University City Base before even wrapped bullet chains around their bodies. Why did they do this?
That is a kind of showing off and a symbol of strength.
A person who can own a gun and a bullet chain is a man of influence in this apocalypse. Everyone should be polite when talking to him.
But in fact, they all lack weapons. The more they lack something, the more they want to show off. This is human nature.
After hearing that there were 98K, AK47, and even light machine guns available on the radio, most adventurers and mercenary teams went crazy.
Must go!
Go now!
Go to Light Chaser City, exchange supplies for weapons, and build a powerful apocalyptic team!
Within the next three days, the peak of the second wave of population influx arrived.
In the past three days, approximately 5,000 to 8,000 people came to Zhuguang City every day.
In the next three days, the average number of people who poured into Zhuguang City every day exceeded 12,000!
In the past six days, Zhuguang City has changed from a deserted city to a city with a population of 70,000, which is almost the same as the University City Base.
On the streets, there are more and more people carrying guns visible to the naked eye.
This made Ji Yuntian, the newly appointed director of the Zhuguang City Public Security Department, very nervous. He led a large number of security guards to patrol the streets every day for fear of causing trouble in the city.
With more people, many things become more expensive.
First of all, the land in Zhuguang City was immediately sold to a very high price.
There are four areas that have been speculated into prime locations.
The first one is the south gate of Zhuguang City, which is on the main road leading to the inner city.
This road is the core road of Zhuguang City and has not yet been named.
Although the road condition is not very good, the price of land around here has soared, reaching 100 points per square meter.
Points in Zhuguang City are obtained through materials. For every kilogram of food turned in, one point is obtained.
For every liter of gasoline turned in, you will receive one point.
For every gram of gold turned in, you can get one point.
Not to mention whether gold is valuable in the end of the world, since the Ministry of Interior of Light-Chasing City acquired it, it is valuable.
If calculated in terms of grain, 100 points equals one hundred kilograms of grain.
How many people can one hundred kilograms of grain feed in the last days?
You can only exchange for one square meter of land here!
And there are more than one such location, there are also planned communities along the Fengming River, along the main road into the city from the east gate, and around the future Zhuguang Grand Theater, etc. The land has been sold at a sky-high price.
Of course, this kind of price speculation cannot be separated from the promoters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the final promoter behind the scenes is naturally Tang Zheng.
Especially the land on both sides of Nanmen Street is not for sale to ordinary people.
In the past few days, Tang Zheng had been very busy, but he also vaguely felt that a considerable number of people who came to Zhuguang City did not come with simple intentions.
The tree is big and attracts the wind. The continuous big moves of Zhuguang City have already created a considerable reputation in the surrounding areas. However, it all happened too fast and suddenly. The current foundation is very unstable. Behind the raging fire, there is a kind of false prosperity.
He is looking for an opportunity to go on a big wave.
This morning, he suddenly received two pieces of news.
The first is a message from Alliance Headquarters.
Lian Na, the third member of the alliance, will lead the alliance inspection team and tax collectors to Zhuguang City for on-site inspection and tax collection. They are expected to arrive at ten o'clock this morning.
The second news came from Qinzhou. Bai Ling, the leader of the airport base, sent a shocking message!
