rebuilding in walking dead

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Salary Payment



  After Glenn left, Leon fell into thought. He was not worried that recruiting Sean would cause any trouble.

  Although Sean is an egoist who will sacrifice others for his own benefit, there are many such people in the world and it is nothing surprising.

  He was just thinking about whether he should go and rescue Rick.

  It is now June 20th, and there are about 20 days left before Rick wakes up in the plot.

  When he first crossed over, he was in a hurry to get to the CDC and didn't have time to go to the hospital to check on Rick's condition.

  Now that he has time, maybe he should go and rescue this SR card-level character. After all, he is one of his favorite characters in the plot.

  Just happened to work for me, along with his good brother Sean, to give Carl a safe and stable childhood.

  This time he will let Rick, Sean and Lori have a frank talk.

  It's just an understandable emotional dispute. As long as they can open their hearts and have a good talk, and find a few kind-hearted people to persuade and enlighten them a few times, there will be no unsolvable conflicts that will lead to brothers killing each other.

  Thinking of Rick, Leon realized one more thing, a very important thing, that is, there were big problems with his recruitment plan.

  Ever since he recruited more than 40 people from the nursing home camp and the quarry camp, he started to become arrogant and kept his sights on those so-called large camps, hoping to make a quick buck.

  But now, most of the survivors have fled the zombie-infested cities and are wandering in the countryside to survive.

  There are very few survivors or forces that can survive alone in the city, so he should focus on small towns, villages or other places outside the city where zombies are rare.

  The thought of digging more leeks immediately made Leon excited. He took out a map of the surrounding area of ​​Atlanta from the drawer and began to search on this simple map.

  It's embarrassing to say, since the advent of the smartphone era, physical books have gradually disappeared, and almost all information can be found on the Internet. The end of the world broke out, and the mobile phone had no signal, but he couldn't even find a precise map.

  The elementary school map in his hand, which only marked landmark buildings such as the government, police station, and library, was all found in a private house with great effort.

  If he could get a precise map with all the stores marked on it, like the one on a certain navigation system, he would be willing to exchange it for ten tons of food.

  While taking notes on the map and thinking about the problem in his mind, an action plan for recruiting people gradually took shape in Lyon's mind.

  Day 2, June 21st.

  For other survivors, it was an ordinary day, but for the employees of Umbrella Corporation, it was a very special day, as it was the day when they received their first paycheck.

  In the temporary logistics office on the first floor, more than 30 Umbrella Company employees lined up in a long queue.

  Daryl stood at the end of the line with an expressionless face, quietly watching the number of people in front of him decrease, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

  After being expelled from high school for fighting, he followed Moore and hung out on the streets. He had never held a proper job, nor had he ever stood in line to collect his salary like this.

  In the past, he was a small-time gangster who was looked down upon by everyone. He often got into fights with others and engaged in some illegal gray industries. He often had no money in his pocket to eat and could only go to the forest to hunt wild game to fill his stomach.

  The past life was not a pleasure for him, but the post-apocalyptic life made him feel better.

  He actually quite likes this kind of team life, where everyone is united together, there is no discrimination, no conflict, no struggle, and everyone works towards a common goal.

  Help each other, support each other, rely on each other, and fight together, just like a family.

  At the front of the line, Amy, wearing a gray women's suit and a pair of round-frame glasses, sat behind a red desk. From time to time, she would chat with the people in the front of the line and then hand two thin booklets to that person.

  Daryl was soon the only one left in the team. He saw his brother More, holding the two booklets, happily walking towards the basement surrounded by several of his men.

  He kept saying, "I'm treating you guys today, I'd like to give you some drinks," and he seemed very happy.

  "Mr. Daryl, here are your salary manual and commodity exchange manual, please take them."

  Daryl reached out and took the manual, nodded to the girl named Amy, and said:

  "Thanks."

  Amy smiled sweetly and tilted her head and said:

  "You're welcome, Mr. Daryl. You and Mr. Glenn will leave for the quarry camp at noon."

  "You can take this opportunity to go to the warehouse to exchange some supplies for use on the road. It's a bit hot outside now, so exchanging some iced cola or iced beer is a good choice."

  "The price is not expensive, only 5 contribution points per bottle."

  "Besides, you and Mr. Glenn are on an outbound mission. According to the regulations, you are entitled to a food allowance of 20 contribution points per day."

  Daryl was a little confused. He had just woken up today when he was notified to line up here. He only knew that today was the day to pay wages, and he was not clear about other details.

  He did not ask his doubts, but said in a somewhat dull tone:

  "Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it."

  He knew that although the girl in front of him looked very young, she was Mr. Leon's deputy, had great power in the company, was responsible for almost all work arrangements, and was very busy.

  Daryl didn't want to waste the girl's time, so he went back to his tent and reached out to open the first manual titled "Employee Handbook".

  On page 1 was his photo, with the words Daryl Dixon, male, D-class combatant, affiliated with the Security Department, deputy team leader of the first combat team written below.

  The second page had only one line of small print.

  Date: 6.13-6.19, weekly salary: 2300 contribution points.

  Daryl read it over and over again and found that the manual only had these two pages of words.

  Somewhat helplessly, he put the first manual into his pocket, then took out the second manual and started reading it. It said "Material Exchange Manual".

  He turned to the first page and found it was a table of contents.

  The above divides all materials into 8 major categories in detail, and indicates which material is on which page of its classification.

  Daryl took a careful look at the content. It was very detailed. Not only were there pictures of each product, but the function and value of the product were introduced in a few brief sentences, and the contribution points needed to redeem the product were marked.

  Daryl thought about his weekly salary, 2300 points, and realized that his weekly salary should be quite high, and the things he could buy were similar to the average person's monthly salary.

  The manual contained a wide variety of items, and the prices were not expensive. Even a somewhat introverted man like him was interested in some of them.

  "Since there is still time, why not go and have a look?"
