From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 631
Chapter 631 After The War
Zhou Shengwu, who was sitting in the bulletproof Mercedes-Benz, frowned. It was already noon on the second day after the war. The city of Montenegro was cleaning up the mess. However, just as he had expected, the civilians who had escaped were unwilling to return. Even if someone came back occasionally, they were still cleaning up the mess. The extreme shortage of manpower made it impossible to rebuild the city wall.
“Let me tell you, that female Corpse King must have been deliberately summoned by Chen Guangda. Their adulterers and adulterers are all trying to destroy our Black Mountain City and benefit their families …”
Li Tingyu, who was on the passenger seat, kept talking all the way, Spreading her conspiracy theories without any hesitation, However, Su Tong, who was in the back row, did not know whether to laugh or cry. “If Chen Guangda had the ability, he would have unified the world long ago. Thanks to Chen Guangda’s persistence until the end yesterday, if he had compromised with Ai Ning (Ning) earlier, Black Mountain City would no longer exist. Even if you don’t want to admit that he is our savior!”
“Ai ~ What an annoying fellow …”
Zhou Shengwu suddenly sighed heavily. Chen Guangda was a loving and hateful opponent to him. Although Chen Guangda had the same viewpoint and stand as him, and he could be trusted at the most critical moment, this fellow was always digging into his corner, almost digging out his family and kidnapping his woman.
The legendary Binhai City didn’t arrive for long, Actually, they weren’t real locals. Many people, including Li Tingyu and Zhou Shengwu, hadn’t been here before. Binhai City was a small city that had just developed in recent years. It was only half the size of Black Mountain City, but it was close to the seaside with a small hill as cover. The superiority of being able to advance and retreat was something that Black Mountain City couldn’t compare to.
“Eh? Why didn’t they build a city wall …”
Li Tingyu stood up in surprise. From afar, he could see that Binhai City only had a few rows of barbed wire, There were quite a few excavators digging ditches in the wild, but it didn’t seem like they were going to build a city wall. When they got closer, they discovered that the ditch had already been sucked in seawater. Large amounts of corpse fish were tossing about like rivers and seas. The corpse fish in the sea looked even more ferocious than the ones in the fresh water, and their size was also frightening.
“Ai ~ This guy really knows how to play tricks. With these corpse fish serving as city guards for them, it’s much more useful than our city walls …”
Zhou Shengwu shook his head helplessly. Everyone knew that the water and land were incompatible. As long as a living corpse entered the water, it would be eaten by the corpse fish without leaving any bone residue. Moreover, as long as Black Mountain City was not destroyed, Binhai City would never encounter too much danger. However, even if Chen Guangda openly took advantage of them, there was nothing they could do about it.
“Ah? Why are there so many people crowding outside? Is it impossible to fit them in the city …”
Suddenly, Su Tong opened the car window with curiosity. She saw that the city gate was packed with people. There were many people sitting on the ridge outside with their families. The rolls and cars were piled up like hills. At first glance, there were at least 300,000 to 400,000 people. At first glance, she thought that Binhai City was surrounded by the corpse tide.
“Let us in, why don’t you let us in …”
Waves of shouts and curses were deafening. They were almost like riots, but they confused Zhou Shengwu and the others. He hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car and directly brought the secretary and Su Tong out of the car. After the crowd was lined up, he was surprised to discover that it was the citizens of both sides who were holding each other back.
“Everyone, quickly move aside. Secretary Zhou has come to make the decision for everyone …”
When everyone saw that Zhou Shengwu had personally brought someone over, they said, The people blocking the entrance all consciously made way, but the people of Binhai City did not buy it. The leading middle-aged man directly shouted, “He is your secretary, not our secretary. No one is allowed to enter Binhai City unless Mayor Wu speaks. Do you think we can enter Binhai City if you want to? This is Hong Kong, do you understand?”
“Wait a minute! What’s your mayor’s surname? Isn’t it Chen Guangda …”
Zhou Shengwu walked over suspiciously. If they hadn’t called out for Binhai City, he would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place, but the other party haughtily shouted, “Brother Guang is our militia commander. He only cares about protecting our civilians. He doesn’t care about the local government affairs. Mayor Wu was also elected by us, unlike Black Mountain City, which is ruled by warlords!”
“Secretary! Mayor Wu is the former president of the Relief Society. They just voted for him yesterday …”
A young leader hurriedly whispered to Zhou Shengwu. Zhou Shengwu immediately frowned. He didn’t know what kind of trick Chen Guangda was playing, but the people of Binhai City shouted, “All of you from Black Mountain City, scram back. We don’t want refugees or smelly beggars in Binhai City. Hurry up and go back to be officials!”
“Bullshit! You guys were from Black Mountain City two days ago. You think you’re superior when you enter Binhai City? Do you have a white-eyed wolf like you?”
The people of Black Mountain City shouted excitedly, There was a big disagreement and he was about to make a move, But Zhou Shengwu’s secretary immediately shouted, “They won’t let you in. You want to stick your hot face on their cold butt? The Battle of Black Mountain City has already been won. There are tens of thousands of vacant jobs and there are a lot of vacancies for leaders at all levels. Let’s go back and develop Black Mountain City together. We can definitely do better than them!”
“Haha ~ You guys can split the rent free first. Our houses are all yours, and we don’t want any rent at all …”
The people of Binhai City suddenly burst into laughter. All of them laughed at them, However, even though the people of Black Mountain City were ridiculed, none of them were willing to leave. Everyone knew that once they returned, they would definitely have to recruit a large number of soldiers. The next wave of corpses would not arrive yet. On the other hand, the sunny beaches of Binhai City could still eat seafood. Even fools knew that staying here would be better than Black Mountain City.
“Villagers! Quiet down, all of you. Listen to me …”
A gray-haired old man suddenly walked out of the city. Behind him were all plainly dressed working-class people. However, this person was Mayor Wu, who had just been elected. In the past, he was a famous philanthropist in Black Mountain City. He led a group of volunteers to the countryside to help the poor people. Therefore, he was not surprised that he was elected Mayor Zhou Shengwu.
“Mayor Wu, you’ve finally arrived. Please hurry up and say something fair to everyone …”
The people of Black Mountain City greeted them excitedly, but Zhou Shengwu held his hands and did not speak. He also wanted to see what kind of medicine Chen Guangda was selling, but Mayor Wu cupped his hands and said, “My fellow villagers!” “It’s not that we don’t want you to go in. It’s just that our small town can’t hold so many people. Our food and shelter are very limited. We can’t let everyone go in and drink the northwest wind together, right?”
“This …”
Everyone in Black Mountain City looked at him eagerly. Mayor Wu said, ‘”We have just taken over this city, and many things are still in a mess. After we straighten out everything, we will welcome everyone to come in and play or settle down. As long as it meets our requirements, we will treat everyone equally. Today, please return for the time being, okay? Black Mountain City’s future is also bright!”
“Everyone, go back. I assure you that we can give whatever Binhai City can. I’m here today to ask them to pay the protection fee. The money collected will be used on each of you. If they dare not pay it, they won’t have a good life …”
Zhou Shengwu suddenly took a loudspeaker and shouted, Unexpectedly, he also started to act like Chen Guangda. Who knew that his voice would have a miraculous effect? The dark crowd immediately cheered and began to curse at the people of Binhai City with high spirits. Many people even happily packed their bags and prepared to go home, sweeping away the uselessness of being rejected by others.
“See? Sometimes being a hooligan is very beneficial …”
Su Tong shrugged her shoulders, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Zhou Shengwu was also completely speechless. No wonder Chen Guangda was so popular wherever he went. Originally, he could only shake his head and walk to the door. He looked at Mayor Wu and the others and said, “Old Wu! I should be able to enter, right?”
“Please, please! Secretary Zhou, please …”
Mayor Wu hurriedly invited Zhou Shengwu inside. Zhou Shengwu felt much more at ease with his respectful attitude. However, as soon as they entered the main road of Binhai City, they immediately discovered that the atmosphere here was completely different from Black Mountain City. Many children were weeding and planting flowers on both sides of the street. There were also many people who spontaneously cleaned up. Almost everyone’s hands were not idle, and the smile on their faces seemed to be from the bottom of their hearts.
“Wow! This place is so beautiful …”
Li Tingyu couldn’t help but exclaim, Binhai City’s current bright spots were not only the sea, Everywhere he looked was decorated with colors. The entire city was as clean as washed water. Mayor Wu smiled and said, “We don’t have cleaners here. The roads are all contracted by everyone. Now every piece of land belongs to individuals. Everyone naturally wants to make their homes more beautiful!”
“Then what are you going to use to support the army, what are you going to use for construction, and where do you people get your salaries …”
Zhou Shengwu looked at him in puzzlement. Rent and farmland rent were the most important taxes. If these two items were removed, there would be nothing left. Business was already in a slump. It was completely unrealistic to rely on business taxes to support the army. The Big Head Soldiers would have to be hungry to rebel.
‘”Haha ~ Our salary is very low. A small portion of the business tax is enough. Everyone is using us as a negative example. Tell those disobedient children that if you continue like this, you can only become an official …”
Mayor Wu smiled helplessly. However, he clearly had a proud expression on his face. Then he said, “We rely on fund-raising to build the city. Everyone will help us free of charge. We also set up moral scores for unconscious people. Each year, 12 points will be deducted for minor mistakes. If they are deducted, they will be expelled from the city. This is a new system created by Commander Chen. It seems to be quite useful now!”
“Where’s the army? What do you use to support the army …”
Zhou Shengwu directly grabbed onto the main point, This is what he is most concerned about. Who would have thought that Mayor Wu would shake his head and say, “You have to ask Commander Chen personally about this. All the taxes are under the control of our government, but the Military Ministry has never asked us for a penny. It should be Commander Chen who pays the wages himself. However, the citizens will spontaneously send warmth to them!”
“Hmph ~ I know. He must be issuing more money. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so much money …”
Zhou Shengwu suddenly snorted coldly. Chen Guangda must have printed a set of currency by himself. As long as he printed more, he could feed his army. However, this would cause prices to rise crazily. Currency would become less and less valuable, almost like killing a chicken to get an egg.
“Secretary Zhou, please don’t talk nonsense. We haven’t printed out the currency yet. Even if it is printed out, it will still be under the jurisdiction of our government. We definitely won’t randomly add it. This is all decided by a few economists …”
Mayor Wu hurriedly waved his hands and explained, Zhou Shengwu was stuck, but Mayor Wu directly led them to the beach. From afar, he could see Chen Guangda playing beach volleyball happily with a bunch of bikini beauties. His mouth was even brighter than lotus flowers, and he was countless times more elegant than Zhou Shengwu, the bitter secretary.
