Chapter 88 Jobs Are Hard to Find in the Apocalypse

Ji Zai sipped his popsicle and watched the rain from the balcony.

Then, with a whoosh, it was blown all over the ground by the wind.

She: "Huh? What's going on? How come the wind is so strong? Is it a typhoon?"

Liang Qiyue quickly closed the door. "Be careful! The wind isn't scary, the rain is. You'll be happy when the wind and rain splatter all over your face."

That's true.

Hang it on the door.

The two hid behind the door, munching on popsicles.

And they wondered why their cook hadn't arrived yet.

As Ji Zai ate, he noticed the wind outside was getting stronger. "I have a bad feeling," he said. "There are a lot of typhoons in the south, especially around this time of year. Are we going to be unlucky enough to run into one?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Sure enough, the sound of howling wind could be heard outside.

Moreover, the rumors are getting louder and louder.

Ji Zai doubted his own jinxing, "No way, of all times for a typhoon to come, it has to be this one? We've just started to get things going, and now we're going to be blown away like this?"

Ji Zao had been craving green vegetables for more than just a day or two.

And we waited a long time for this.

If you tell her you broke up with her, she'll be so angry she'll kill all the zombies in the school to vent her anger.

Liang Qiyue offered a cold, emotionless consolation, "Don't worry, it's just eating white rice for a while longer. It's worse than death."

Ji Zai's face fell when he thought about that situation.

The popsicle was quickly finished.

But their chef still didn't come.

Ji Zai was so hungry that his stomach was cramping. "Where's my chef? Where's my chef? Come back soon, I really want to eat!"

She collapsed weakly onto the dormitory floor.

The lights overhead were so bright they were blinding.

Ji Zai looked at the dormitory lights, feeling somewhat lost and helpless. Ah, she was so hungry.

"Where did Yang Le go? Why hasn't my food been delivered yet?"

Liang Qiyue yawned, "They must have gone to rescue those fifty-odd people, which is why we're now starving and freezing. It's so tough..."

Ji Zai was stunned. "Ah, you abandoned us just because of those prisoners of war?"

Ji Zai is now deeply reflecting on himself.

There are clearly more than a hundred temporary workers.

They all went to take care of those fifty-odd people?

What about them?

What about those bosses who hired those people to work for them with grain?

Seeing her shocked expression, Liang Qiyue looked utterly dejected. "No, there's still half of the grain we brought back to deal with."

When this was mentioned, Ji Zai became dejected.

yes.

They brought back a lot of things, so it's normal that they were busy.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Zai hurriedly went to open the door, only to be surprised to find that it wasn't the chef, but the chairman.

She immediately knelt down. "What do you want?"

Seeing her listless on the bed, Ouyang Yi said helplessly, "I'm here to report on the current food reserves."

"You brought back grain today. Roughly estimated, you brought back a total of 18,000 catties."

"Adding the 13,000 jin we already have, the total is 31,000 jin."

"One thousand catties of it was taken out to pay the temporary workers' wages."

"The remaining 30,000 jin is our entire harvest this time."

Ji Zai listened with some doubt, "I remember we took a lot of things from the warehouse. Rice was just the most abundant item. What about the others? For example, instant noodles, dry food, biscuits, and seasonings."

"I remember we managed to salvage quite a bit of hot pot base, we should be able to distribute it, right?"

Speaking of this, Ouyang Yi adjusted his glasses, "Those things aren't needed yet, so I put them in the second-floor storage room."

"Furthermore, a temporary medical clinic was set up next to the chemistry research lab and put in charge of medical students."

"Now I can go see a doctor if I have a cold or fever."

Ji Zai had no objections. She yawned and said, "When you give rice to the temporary workers, give it to the permanent workers as well. Give them thirty catties and free up a warehouse."

“Okay.” Ouyang Yi lowered her head to take notes.

After receiving the reply, Ji Zai added, "It's been a bit windy these past few days. Tell the people of Ningmeng to try to stay indoors as much as possible."

"Next, we just need to wait for news from Li Henghua."

We've done what we could.

It would be good if we could get news of the antidote this time, or even better if we got the antidote directly.

I just don't know how far Li Henghua can go.

Ji Zai didn't bother to think about it. She just felt comfortable knowing that she was about to return to her old life of eating and waiting to die.

Moreover, it's raining and windy now, and the temperature is a bit cool.

This kind of weather is perfect for sleeping.

After reporting what had happened, Ouyang Yi returned to her dormitory.

It gradually got dark.

The group of temporary workers had almost finished their work. They returned to their dormitory, exhausted, and the first thing they did was take a shower.

Then I'll go cook rice.

When Yang Le arrived at 303, he pushed open the door and saw two people who looked half-dead from hunger.

She was startled. "What's wrong with you? Did the rain make you withdrawn?"

Ji Zai looked at her shakily, "No, I have low blood sugar. Quick, cook rice, cook rice..."

Yang Le: "......"

She quietly took out a small pot and started cooking rice.

Today we ate crispy rice crust, which was crunchy and smelled delicious.

While eating crispy rice crusts and drinking rice porridge, Ji Zai asked, "How are those men doing?"

Yang Le thought for a moment, "Su Dan went to see them, but the situation wasn't good. They couldn't eat, they could only be given some sugar water."

"Very good. Tomorrow you'll have to work a little harder. Boil some sugar water, put it in a bucket, and then throw it over there so that the two sober ones can feed their brothers."

"It's windy now, so it's best if people inside the dorm don't go out."

Ji Zai said expressionlessly.

Yang Le was taken aback upon hearing this, "Is it that cruel?"

"They were just unlucky enough to run into a typhoon."

As Ji Zai ate, he said, "You all know how harmful rainwater is. Saving them is already an act of kindness on our part. As long as they can breathe, that's enough. Why worry about so much?"

Hearing this, Liang Qiyue shook her head with a sigh, "If Li Henghua hadn't been somewhat valuable, who knows what would have happened to those boys."

Yang Le didn't dare to say anything more and silently retreated.

Well, how should I put it?

Actually, she felt a bit of a crisis.

She was afraid that the group of boys would come and take away her jobs. The temporary workers could barely get enough to eat, and if they came and took away their jobs, they would really go hungry.

Now the leader doesn't intend to use them.

Yang Le was relieved.

After all, jobs are hard to find in the apocalypse.

Ji Zai left a few crispy rice crusts for breakfast the next morning, and then drifted off to sleep amidst the raging wind and rain.

I slept without any dreams.
