Chapter 1726 - 945: Promotion, Envy Among the Crowd

That night, Second Uncle notified Guo Peng of the Fifth Outer City to have the Jiu Ge group and Old Huang group come to the Big Camphor Tree Base Headquarters tomorrow.

Moreover, Sha Wenji, Dongfeng, and several other groups of people are around the Big Camphor Tree Base, so they can be contacted directly via walkie-talkie.

Fifth Satellite City.

Guo Peng arrived at the prefab area and saw Old Huang and his crew just finished handing over their batch of supplies.

By now, cooperative personnel around the Satellite City no longer need to make a special trip to the Big Camphor Tree Base Headquarters just to hand over supplies.

The Fifth Satellite City is the farthest from the base, about eighty to ninety kilometers away, making it too troublesome and time-consuming to go back and forth.

Therefore, these satellite cities allow the dispatched Outer City personnel to manage these tasks and exchange food based on the redemption rules on the list.

Then the supplies received for the day would be picked up by someone from the base driving over the next day.

"Old Huang, I have good news for you. Tomorrow you’ll take the supply transport back to the Big Camphor Tree Base and visit the base," Guo Peng said with a smile to Old Huang.

Old Huang paused his actions, smiled knowingly, and asked,

"Captain Guo, are you saying we need to return to the base? What’s the good news?"

Guo Peng smiled with his eyes,

"The protest events from before have now been clarified. Your group’s contribution was immense. Without your intel, the headquarters wouldn’t have been able to deploy in time, and our losses would have been significant.

This time, you’re being brought over for your reward.

Coincidentally, the points of your three members have reached the qualification to become Extra Staff. This visit is for your promotion!"

As Guo Peng finished speaking, other veteran cooperative personnel around cast envious glances.

"Their promotion is so fast. If I remember correctly, hasn’t their group only been with the base for half a year? Maybe not even that."

"Hey! You shouldn’t be envious. They found brass and cables previously, and this time they achieved such great merits. They have few people, but high total points, enough for each to qualify as Extra Staff."

"It’s really nice. Damn, why don’t I have such good luck?"

"If only I could become Extra Staff too. Then I could receive monthly food subsidies, tsk tsk."

"Don’t worry, we’re almost there too. With a bit more effort, our group’s points should be enough in a few months."

...

Hearing the envious discussions around, Xiao Ye’s eyebrows danced with joy.

Beside him, the always icy Noble Consort also wore a faint smile.

Wonderful.

Another step forward!

Seems like their decision to come to the Big Camphor Tree Base from Oil City was right, and leaving the Big Camphor Tree Base Headquarters for the Fifth Satellite City was also right.

Though the Fifth Satellite City, being the farthest from the Big Camphor Tree Base, isn’t as safe as staying around the Headquarters Base, the recent protest movement is an example.

But where there’s risk, there’s opportunity. If they hadn’t come to the Fifth Satellite City, they wouldn’t have obtained so many opportunities and wouldn’t have been able to quickly advance to Extra Staff.

Old Huang, having accurately received the news from Guo Peng, couldn’t contain his smile, the gap between his old teeth showing, but he didn’t care.

Although he had guessed it before, hearing the confirmed news was still thrilling.

Later, Guo Peng asked, "Where’s Jiu Ge?"

Old Huang pointed to the prefab and said, "They came back early and should be resting inside."

Guo Peng nodded and stepped towards the prefab.

Just moments ago, there was a commotion outside. Jiu Ge’s team was exhausted from looking for supplies today, and although curious, they didn’t come out.

Until Guo Peng came in and told them about it, Jiu Ge and his team were shocked by the delightful surprise.

"Are we going tomorrow?" Jiu Ge asked excitedly.

"Yes, tomorrow," Guo Peng said, seeing the excited Jiu Ge, feeling a myriad of emotions; once upon a time, when he heard about his promotion, he had the same reaction.

Looking back at the path taken, it wasn’t in vain.

Now managing a Satellite City, it’s indeed a rewarding experience.

....

Similar scenes happened among Dongfeng, Sha Wenji, and their groups.

Sha Wenji was among the early batch of cooperative personnel joining the Big Camphor Tree Base, and after undertaking missions in Southeast Asia, his points suddenly met the criteria.

Originally, Zhang San from their group had some talent in electricity and was promoted to the Outer City several months ago.

Now their whole group finally moved forward, becoming Extra Staff. The next step is to become Outer City personnel.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Among these cooperative personnel, conversations about life within the city frequently occur.

Living at the Big Camphor Tree Base means no worries about food, even hot water to shower, everyone having their own bed, and no more fear of zombies.

In their hearts, entering the Outer City is now their greatest dream.

That night, many people did not sleep.

The next day.

Outside the Fifth Satellite City, Li Haoran brought a convoy.

The car was loaded with some food. Guo Peng and others unloaded these foods and then loaded the supplies collected by the cooperative personnel yesterday onto the car.

Old Huang and his group stood beside, waiting.

"Captain Guo, the Internal Affairs Director asked me to come here today to pick up a few people. Do you know who they are?" Li Haoran asked Guo Peng.
