Chapter 22 Rationing
Life in the future is as always, not only not improving, but is continuing to deteriorate.
At the construction site, personnel are being continuously transferred away. I heard that they are going to support other projects, but the tasks are not reduced at all, but are constantly improving.
This requires workers, including Wang Xiaohui, to work more than before in order to barely catch up with the progress.
If that's all, then forget it. Anyway, I haven't worked overtime before, so I've been used to 996 and other things. What made Wang Xiaohui most unbearable is that the logistics support has been reduced to another level.
In the current situation, it is good to have a meal of meat in three days. Even the rice I eat has changed from the past high-end rice that was fragrant to garbage rice I made from somewhere. Once steamed, it rots like a pot of porridge, and it doesn’t taste chewy.
The salary has also been further reduced, less than 60% of the previous ones.
Finally one day, Wang Xiaohui couldn't stand it anymore.
He threw the safety helmet on his head to the ground, and regardless of the shouts of his companions, he held his head high and walked out of the unfinished tunnel.
"I'm going to quit."
He said this to the engineering manager with resentment.
The engineering manager is a thin middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a very kind look.
Hearing Wang Xiaohui's words, his expression did not fluctuate at all.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll leave now if I've paid the money."
The manager sighed: "This is OK, but if you really leave, you want to find such treatment at our construction site, but it will be difficult to find it."
Wang Xiaohui snorted and looked at him disdainfully.
The manager continued: "You probably haven't read the news for a long time, right?"
"I was so tired all day, where can I have time to watch?"
The manager turned on the computer, pushed it in front of Wang Xiaohui, said nothing, and just patted his shoulder and left.
Wang Xiaohui turned on the computer strangely.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiaohui left the office stiffly. At the door, the manager was smoking a cigarette against the wall. The cigarette butts were bright and dark, and under the already dusk sky, it looked a bit like some kind of insect.
He walked up to the manager and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
No matter what, he never thought that so many things happened and so many changes during the period when he was isolated from the world.
The Great Depression has occurred, countless companies have gone bankrupt, and countless people have lost their jobs. Many industries have even died directly.
But with many newly launched projects, the unemployed people will not have no food to eat.
Of course, they must first put down their airs, be willing to endure hardships, and work hard.
Wang Xiaohui was not unaware of this matter before.
A shop run by his parents far away in the rural area of his hometown also went bankrupt and almost lost their economic income. At that time, he only thought that the normal business was not doing well, so he didn't think much about it.
Although my sister is still in college and can only spend money but not earn money, it doesn’t matter. My income at the construction site is pretty good. My parents had some savings before, so I don’t have to worry about money for the time being.
But he did not expect that it was not only his parents who went bankrupt.
No one can survive the Great Depression.
He even saw news that there were many construction sites, and the treatment of workers was even worse than that of his own. Some sites only provided food and accommodation, and their wages were not even a penny. But even so, no one was willing to resign.
If you stay here, you can still have food, and the food level is barely good. After leaving here, the next construction site that I couldn't say was not paid, not only did I get the food, but I didn't even have the food here.
"Why did it become like this? Why did it become like this?"
Wang Xiaohui was unwilling to believe it, nor could he believe it. But this was the case.
The prosperous and prosperous world in the past seems to be still in front of you, but in a blink of an eye, it has become a distant memory.
Compared with them, with their own education and ability, they stay here. Although the food is not good, they can still get 60% of their previous salary. Not to mention the top salary, this treatment is at least better than most people.
If you leave here, don’t even think about other jobs, you will definitely not be able to find them. I don’t know how many majors are better than you and those with stronger abilities can only come to the construction site to work. How can you find a decent job?
If you change jobs, you can only go to another construction site. But other construction sites may, no, not maybe, almost certainly, and must be worse than here.
Why change yourself?
The previous a little anger melted instantly like snowflakes under the scorching sun.
He took out the cigarette box, lit one for himself, and stood beside the manager and smoked it in a depressing manner.
"Did you figure it out?"
"I figured it out."
"Do it well. Oh, why has this world become so fast?"
The manager turned around and wanted to leave. Wang Xiaohui thought about it, but still called him.
"Manager, I see someone on the Internet saying that the savior civilization is not here to help us, but to enslave us. Do you think this is true?"
The manager smiled faintly: "Why do you think so much? Live your own life."
Wang Xiaohui sighed.
In the following days, he began to take time to pay attention to changes in current affairs. But after looking at it, he could only see some materials in a hurry, some economic crisis, or the world government called for struggle, and he was very annoyed. Sometimes he could see some so-called conspiracy theories, but he could only see them at one glance, and they were often deleted in the next moment.
It seemed that a dull aura that came out of nowhere was initially shrouded in his heart and also shrouded in the entire construction site of Wuyunshan No. 7 Tunnel.
At this time, an engineer named Lu Wei was assigned here.
Lu Wei is very kind and fair in his work. Perhaps because he is a college student, the two of them became familiar with each other after a while.
Whenever there is a rare holiday, Wang Xiaohui will take out some money he saved and buy some delicious food to find Lu Wei. Lu Wei will take out wine and drink a few drinks of them. Whenever he gets drunk, Wang Xiaohui will complain, complaining that the world is getting worse and worse, complaining about the world government, and complaining about the so-called savior civilization that comes to help human civilization.
At the beginning, Lu Wei always smiled without saying a word and listened quietly. After several consecutive times, Lu Wei revealed some so-called secrets.
What world governments are concealing the truth, what kind of world savior civilization treats humans as pigs and dogs, what makes it like this is all caused by world savior civilization.
Wang Xiaohui had almost no doubts, and he believed this matter in an instant, and became even more angry. But Lu Wei sighed: "The world government has no choice but to endure humiliation for the continuation of our humanity."
Wang Xiaohui was angry and said, "Is it useful to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens? Our ancestors have said that only by striving for peace can we seek peace. Being weak and concessions will only make the enemy more and more unscrupulous! What are you afraid of! Just fight!"
Lu Wei knew that the time was almost the same. The still a little immature college student worker in front of him was almost qualified to enter the World-Destroying Organization.
It's still a little bit short, only a little bit short.
After that, Wang Xiaohui kept thinking about this matter, but after sobering up, he became a little hesitant.
Human civilization, world government, alien civilization...
Do you really have the courage to resist these existences that you have only seen in the news in the past?
He couldn't take enough courage to make up his mind anyway. But soon after, something changed all this.
My favorite sister was dropped out of school when I had a delicious food when I was a child, and I couldn't bear to eat it.
It’s not because my sister made any mistakes. In fact, although her grades are average, she has always been honest and honest.
The reason is mentioned in the news. The construction forces of various projects in various places are seriously insufficient, and the government leads it. All major universities can only retain some of the students with the best grades to continue their education. The rest, if the grades are not so good, must be supplemented with various construction projects.
So my sister lost the opportunity to continue her education.
When my sister called and told her about this while crying, Wang Xiaohui felt her head buzzing.
He was angry like never before, but anger could not change anything.
The first time, he cried in front of Lu Wei.
So Lu Wei knew that the time had finally arrived.
Wang Xiaohui joined the World-Destroying Organization without any hesitation.
Resist, fight, weak and retreat, and cannot seek peace. Only when the blood of killing flows into a river can our civilization be reborn in the fire.
After joining the World Destruction Organization, Lu Wei did not assign tasks to Wang Xiaohui, but asked him to continue to lie dormant, wait for an opportunity to investigate and develop members. So, Wang Xiaohui continued to work as usual in the following days, but at work, he also learned to observe.
During this period, the Wuyunshan No. 7 Tunnel project was ultimately not spared and followed the footsteps of the other projects. The salary was completely cancelled, and the heavy labor was exchanged, and only three meals a day and a place to stay.
The rationing system was finally introduced openly and fully implemented.
Workers began to try to escape, and some people were passively slacking off and began to destroy production tools. So, the team of supervisors who were always serious in uniforms also came.
Wang Xiaohui kept observing with cold eyes.
I don’t know how long I waited, but Lu Wei finally found Wang Xiaohui again.
"The organization issued an order and start resisting at 6 o'clock tonight!"
"If the world government is willing to be tough, then it is tough. If it is unwilling to be tough, we force it to be tough!"
"The day when our civilization is reborn from the ashes is coming!"
At six o'clock, it was just dark.
The lights were brightly lit on the construction site, and suddenly, a noise sounded. Wang Xiaohui, without hesitation, rushed towards the supervisor without hesitation.
"Resist! Resist!"
Chapter completed!
