The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space
Chapter 627 Workers Make Trouble
Xia Meng and the others were far behind as the car jolted forward. In the silent night, the bright headlights looked like rare, shining stars, but they made people feel desolate and cold.
Two hours later, the car in front stopped, and Kai got out to warn the people behind him.
"You can go back."
"Don't follow me anymore. As for the hostages..., we will release them."
The police officer was not reassured, "What if you want me not to let go?"
Brother Kai laughed.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of disaster victims, we won't need these few, we will release them!"
After Brother Kai finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. The police officer hurriedly stopped him, but before the police officer could say anything, Brother Kai had already turned around and stared straight at the police officer. Under the bright light, his dark eyes were as cold as ice.
"Warning to you: You have to come here, otherwise... I can't guarantee that these hostages are intact, understand?"
After Brother Kai finished speaking, he got in the car and the car continued driving.
The police officer called the sheriff and asked what to do.
Sheriff, "Stop it."
There are drones in the sky monitoring them, so the sheriff is not afraid of suddenly losing track of them.
They waited there for about half an hour before they faintly heard the sound of people running.
The police officer was alerted and looked over immediately, and saw a group of disaster victims who were also hostages held by the robbers.
The police officer stepped forward and asked with concern,
"Are you guys okay?"
"Are you all back?"
The police officers began to count the number of people, and found that the number of people was not less, they were all there.
It seems that the robbers are still true to their words.
When the victims saw the police officers, they burst into tears and held the police officers' hands tightly.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Those robbers are such bastards! They are so despicable!"
"I was so scared! I was so scared!"
"I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to be rescued. Thank you so much."
The police officer comforted the victims, "You are safe now, don't worry, we will not let those people hurt you again."
After calming the victims, the police officers began to ask them about what happened with the robbers.
For example, do you know how many robbers there are?
Victims: "There are quite a lot, but I haven't counted the exact number, but there must be about 100 or 200."
Officer, "Do most of them have guns? Do they have any other weapons besides guns?"
Disaster victims: "Yes, most of them have guns. I haven't seen anything else besides guns."
Police officer, "Do you know their location?"
The victims all said,
"We are not locals, and we don't know what the place is called. It seems to be in a small town..."
After questioning the victims, the police officers asked someone to take them downstairs to rest.
The sheriff asked the police officers to send the victims back for resettlement first, while he took Xia Meng to continue monitoring those people.
Drones hovered in the sky, chasing the vehicles.
I saw that the vehicles had indeed entered a small town, but the town was surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack!
The town is not big, but there are quite a few people in it.
The sheriff asked someone to take out a map and started looking for it.
"This town is called Yongfu Town. It is located in a low-lying area. Before the disaster, there were about 8,000 people living in this town. After the disaster, less than half of the people were left. So the government decided to relocate them to the county for resettlement."
"I didn't expect they were in this town!"
Now that the robbers' lair has been identified, the next step is to develop a plan to deal with them.
So, the sheriff and Xia Meng went back to the city first, intending to make a plan after figuring out the situation in the town.
After being frozen outside for so long, when they returned to the police station, the sheriff immediately had someone make ginger soup and served a large bowl of it to Xia Meng.
After drinking, Xia Meng went back and asked the sheriff to tell her if there was any situation.
Xia Meng returned to where she lived, which was also in a safe zone, in a tent. There were not many buildings left standing in the city, so it was also for safety reasons.
Anyway, the collapsed tent won’t kill anyone.
After drinking only a bowl of ginger soup, Xia Meng felt warm in her stomach, but she was still hungry.
It was such a cold day and Xia Meng wanted to eat something hot, so she took out an alcohol pot and a pack of beef hot pot base from the space.
Put the beef hotpot base into the pot, add water and heat it. When the red soup is boiling, Xia Meng takes out a plate of tripe from the space, picks up a large piece with chopsticks, and puts it into the boiling red soup for a few seconds, then puts it into the oil dish...
"Well!"
tasty! ! !
Being able to eat such a hotpot on such a difficult and cold night, Xia Meng's worries and anger disappeared briefly at that moment.
Xia Meng ate five plates of tripe before switching to beef...
Xia Meng had a big appetite. By the end of the meal, she couldn't even remember how much she had eaten. She just felt warm all over. After being filled with delicious food, she felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring. She lay lazily on the bed and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, after Xia Meng woke up, she drank two large cups of spiritual spring water and felt very refreshed.
After getting up, Xia Meng performed a set of Ba Duan Jin, and then secretly encouraged herself: It was a new day, and things will definitely get better and better from day to day!
“I love my work, and it makes me happy!”
Xia Meng sang her own brainwashing song while taking her washbasin filled with toiletries and going to wash up.
Xia Meng doesn't like working either, but now...if she doesn't work, the whole Tangzhou won't function smoothly. Now is not the time to slack off. She can only say to herself:
She loves her work! Her work loves her!
After humming a little tune and coming out of the tent, many people saw Xia Meng and greeted her with a smile.
"Governor Xia, good morning!"
Xia Meng smiled and nodded, "Good morning!"
"Governor Xia, my child will take the college entrance examination next year. When do you think... this school will resume classes?"
"Hey, I know it's not easy for everyone right now, but my children can't fall behind in their studies!"
"My child used to study very well at school, but now she can't concentrate at home. I think no matter what, I can't delay her studies, right?"
"So I came to ask you, when will the school resume classes?"
When some people around heard what the parent said, they gathered around and started talking at once.
"Yes, Governor Xia, my child is going to take the high school entrance exam next year. As it is now... I'm very worried that he won't be able to go to high school next year!"
"Governor Xia, my child will be in first grade next year. Can the school start normally as it is now?"
Well, even if the sky falls, it’s not as important as the college entrance examination!
Xia Meng looked at everyone and said,
"Everyone, don't worry. The school is destroyed now. All students can't attend classes. It's not just some children. All children can't attend classes normally."
“But we will arrange for teachers to resume classes as soon as possible.”
In addition to the college entrance examination, facing extreme natural disasters requires the dedication of scientists and learning cannot stop.
Even after the natural disaster is over, the participation of intellectuals is indispensable in the reconstruction process.
After hearing Xia Meng's promise, the parents felt relieved.
"Governor Xia, you have worked so hard."
"Yes, if it weren't for Governor Xia, we would probably have to flee like people in other places."
"I contacted my relatives yesterday. They were hit hard by the disaster and there was not enough food. In order to survive, they had to go out and beg for food."
"Oh, how pitiful!"
After Xia Meng finished washing up, she queued up for food. While she was eating, Ruan Feng found Xia Meng.
Xia Meng looked at Ruan Feng, who was panting and spewing out white smoke when he opened his mouth to breathe, and said with concern,
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Ruan Feng shook his head, took a deep breath, and then said to Xia Meng,
"Governor, please go to the industrial area and take a look. The workers are making a fuss."
"Hmm?" Xia Meng immediately stopped eating and looked at Ruan Feng with a frown.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
Ruan Feng nodded. "After the factory resumed work, the boss asked the workers to work overtime, but did not give overtime pay. The workers are making a fuss!"
Xia Meng ate the rice in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, quickly washed it under the faucet, and then said,
"Come on, let's go take a look."
After walking two steps, Xia Meng said to Ruan Feng,
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Go eat something first. It's so cold, you can't not eat. I'll go first!"
"I'm fine," Ruan Feng said hurriedly, "There are a lot of people there, don't get hurt."
"Don't worry," Xia Meng hurriedly urged Ruan Feng, "No one can hurt me, go and eat."
Under Xia Meng's urging, Ruan Feng had to queue up for food, and Xia Meng hurried to the industrial area.
When she arrived at the industrial area, before she even stepped through the gate, Xia Meng heard a loud noise.
After entering the gate of the industrial zone, Xia Meng saw a large group of workers gathered at the gate of a factory, clamoring to see the factory director.
Xia Meng walked over and looked at the crowd of people. She roughly counted them and found that there were about two hundred people.
Xia Meng squeezed into the crowd, came to the factory gate, and shouted to everyone,
"Everyone, be quiet!"
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The people behind couldn't see it, but the people in front saw Xia Meng and started to speak.
"Governor Xia, you are here!"
"Governor Xia, please make the decision for us!"
"Governor Xia, Wang Guangming is too greedy. He makes us work 14 hours a day and doesn't even pay us overtime. We are almost dying of exhaustion!"
Work 14 hours?
This is really too much.
Xia Meng's face was solemn, "Everyone, stop arguing, speak one by one, one by one!"
With Xia Meng's comfort, the workers all calmed down.
This is also thanks to Xia Meng's high prestige in Tangzhou and his popularity among the people, and the common people trust Xia Meng more.
After everyone quieted down, Xia Meng looked at the middle-aged man who was leading the group.
"Tell me, what on earth is going on?"
The man immediately said aggrievedly,
"Governor Xia, you don't know that the resumption of work in the factory is a good thing. We are all happy. We can earn money to support our families, and we are all willing to work."
Xia Meng nodded to show that she was listening.
Most Chinese people are indeed very hardworking.
Workers: "But Director Wang really doesn't treat us as human beings!"
"A normal working day is eight hours, but he asked us to work overtime for 12 hours. We know it's hard to find a job now, so we swallowed our anger and agreed."
"But he was still not satisfied. He made us work overtime without paying us overtime pay, and the overtime hours kept getting longer and longer."
"The minimum charge now is 14 hours of gas, and food and lodging are not included. This... this is simply not giving people a way to survive!"
Minimum working hours 14 hours?
The worker's eyes turned red as he spoke. "Last night, one of our co-workers dozed off while working and got hit by a machine, crushing two fingers. But Director Wang not only refused to pay for the medical expenses, but also said that the co-worker had soiled the machine and wanted to deduct his salary. This is simply pushing him to a dead end!"
