Chapter 37: Action Points System

Li Fei's brilliant idea was the Work Points System, which scores work points based on the amount of work completed. For example, plowing one acre of land is worth 5 work points, transporting one ton of goods is worth 2 work points, and so on.

This method is simple, practical, and easy to implement, and everyone agrees on it.

As for the uses of work points, they are countless. From melon seeds, peanuts, mineral water, cigarettes, beer, and eight-grain porridge to shoes, clothes, socks, hats, needles, threads, and cosmetics, everything can be exchanged.

You can also rent a small room to live in. After integration, there are now several vacant warehouses in the park. Li Fei converted some of them into rooms, and the mercenary group stationed there lives in such rooms.

The rooms are certainly not individual rooms. Each room can accommodate a class of 11 people, and there are beds and lockers inside. For the hundreds or thousands of survivors gathered in a large warehouse, this type of cabin is undoubtedly a huge attraction.

In short, if you want to earn more and live a better life, you must work hard and earn Action Points.

After explaining the general idea, Li Fei handed over the follow-up to Li Fan, asking him to improve the system and establish a system.

There is one thing that needs to be made clear to everyone. Starting tomorrow, meals will be charged. According to the previous food standards, each person will be charged two Action Points per day.

If someone is reluctant to spend so much money, or cannot afford to eat so much, you can conduct some research and set separate meal prices, or offer two packages with different prices. We should try not to impose consumption, as people are already facing enough difficulties in this regard. "

After explaining all this, Li Fei was busy building a seed and fertilizer factory. It's not possible to have everything ready without seeds.

Li Fei planned to build the seed and fertilizer factory near the industrial zone for two reasons.

First, in Li Fei's plan, the side near the park is the civilian area, while the side near Songshan is the military area.

Second, the power station and water station can be automatically connected to the system buildings, so that only water and electricity can be delivered from the seed and fertilizer factory to the park, which is more convenient.

Arriving at the destination and operating the system.

"Seed and fertilizer factory: 80,000 gold coins, covers an area of ​​200m x 200m, and contains two seed workshops and one fertilizer workshop.

Seed and fertilizer production requires points. One point can produce 20 kilograms of various seeds or 50 kilograms of various fertilizers.

Maximum daily production capacity: 10,000 kilograms of seeds and 50,000 kilograms of fertilizers.

Construction time: 8 hours.

Great, it'll be put into production tomorrow.

It's early September now, and autumn has already arrived. Li Fei mentioned that it's possible to grow winter wheat, spinach, coriander, beans, and the like.

Immediately after the factory was completed, Li Fugui found Li Fei and told him that the city's defense forces had returned.

Since Chu Chenguo and others left, several City Defense Army helicopters had been flying back and forth between the camp and the park, transporting survivors (women) and carrying supplies.

Li Fei knew that the City Defense Army Li Fugui had mentioned must be high-ranking officials.

Li Fei soon arrived at the office building and, as expected, saw Chu Chenguo. The mercenary leader, Jack, was speaking with him.

Beside him was also an officer wearing a brigadier general's uniform, presumably Deputy Division Commander Chen Bo.

"Captain Li, I apologize for coming here uninvited. I am Commander Chen Bo of the West Camp." When Chu Chenguo saw Li Fei enter, he first apologized and then introduced Chen Bo.

"Brigade Commander Chu, our leader has been appointed the commander of the General Division." Li Fugui corrected Chu Chenguo.

Hearing this, Chu Chenguo and Chen Bo hurried forward to praise him, only to discover that Li Fei was indeed wearing a brigadier general's uniform.

The two of them couldn't help feeling deeply moved. They'd worked hard for half their lives, but they still weren't as good as a young man in his twenties. It's true that it's better to live well than to work well. At the same time, he was becoming more certain of Li Fei's identity.

"Please sit down, both of you. I wonder why you're here today?" Li Fei didn't like to talk nonsense.

Commander Li, this is how it is. Early this morning, the commander of the Central Army, Zhao Hu, sent us an ultimatum. He demanded that we command our forces to surrender to him within seven days, or he would wipe us out." Chen Bo replied to Li Fei.

Have we finally met? Li Fei had always been reluctant to engage the Central Army so early. First, there was still a disparity in strength. Second, his foundations hadn't been established yet, so it wasn't appropriate to provoke a powerful enemy at this stage.

Why seven days? They number less than twenty thousand. It would cost a lot to completely eliminate you. What kind of weapons and equipment were they? How many aircraft do they have? How many tanks and armored vehicles do they have? Li Fei couldn't understand the benefit of mobilizing a large force to attack the city's defense forces now.

I heard that Zhao Hu wants a juicy piece of meat in Qianjiang County and wants to go to war with them. He's afraid we'll stab him in the back, so he wants to get rid of us before the war starts.

They're trying to win over the security team right now, so they can't take care of us right now. But within seven days, the security team will definitely have results.

Furthermore, they've recruited another 20,000 people from among the survivors. Since they weren't short of weapons to begin with and had been training for over half a month, there was no problem rushing to the front and serving as cannon fodder.

The number of helicopters must have exceeded 30, and there must be at least 200 tanks and armored vehicles. In addition, Zhao Hu had at least one artillery regiment equipped with 105mm howitzers. Chen Bo gave a brief overview of the Central Army's situation.

Li Fei knew that Qianjiang County was a grain storage area and had the largest granary in the southeastern part of Longhu. No wonder Zhao Hu was tempted.

Seeing the abundance of equipment, Li Fei couldn't help but gasp.

Yes, at first, they had an army of over 200,000 troops, spread over hundreds of kilometers. After the apocalypse, their military strength had declined significantly, but their equipment remained.

It seems we need to hurry up, first seizing the urban area within seven days, and then engaging in a difficult battle with Zhao Hu.

"That means we have seven days at most to prepare, and by then we could face an attack from over 40,000 troops, 30 aircraft, 200 tanks and armored vehicles, and an artillery regiment," Li Fei summarized.

"Yes, so the two of us didn't dare delay and quickly came to discuss the matter with the commander." "Lee."

"Relax, both of you. The situation isn't that dangerous.

First, they didn't dare to go out in full force, so they'd definitely leave some troops behind, and Zhao Hu definitely wouldn't dare leave all the new recruits behind.

Second, it's impossible to send all your planes, tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery into battle. You should know that you're in a city, and many tanks and armored vehicles can't be deployed at all, and they might even accidentally injure civilians.

Third, you're more familiar with the terrain than they are, so you can prepare in advance, set up ambushes along the way, and wear down the enemy during combat and retreat.

Fourth, the other side mostly has new recruits who lack training. As long as they're afraid from the start, many of them will flee. At the very least, they'll be scared and won't dare advance recklessly.

Finally, don't worry, I won't stand idly by. I'll at least send a regiment to support you when the time comes."

After listening to Li Fei's analysis, the two suddenly felt that it sounded right. Furthermore, Li Fei's promise of assistance made Chen Bo and Chu Chenguo feel they had the upper hand.

At the same time, they felt a little ashamed. After all, they had never fought in a war. When they heard that the gap in military strength between the two sides was so great, they were deeply frightened.

"In the next few days, we must do the following:

1. Completely eliminate the government forces;

2. Pay attention to the movements of the security team. If they defect from Zhao Hu, we must take the initiative to eliminate them before the war begins; if they refuse Zhao Hu's request, we can try to contact them.

I'm not asking them for help. As long as they keep their forces in place, I can ask for supplies and equipment in return. I'll agree to anything as long as it's not excessive."

 3. Transport the survivors to your camp in advance so they don't hinder you when the fighting begins.

4. If you're running low on supplies, including weapons and ammunition, just let me know and I'll replenish them, including fuel for the helicopters. "Li Fei has made the necessary arrangements for the next few days.

Okay, okay, Commander Li, thank you. Don't worry, we'll definitely implement your plan.

We're now only 3 kilometers from Tianping Road, and the road will be open tomorrow. We have security personnel and will monitor their movements at all times.

As for the survivors and supplies, we'll arrange them as soon as we return." Chen Bo patted his chest and promised.

Okay, but since we have seven days, there's no need to rush. Be ready at any time. We'll launch an attack on the government headquarters on the morning of the fifth.

After their discussion, the two weren't in the mood to stay for dinner, so they hurried back, packing a large amount of supplies with them.
