My Doomsday Territory-Chapter 31 Welfare Benefits?

Translator: SumTLMan

Zhao Xingping squeezed into the crowd and finally saw the contents of the notice.

[Notice on the Shelter’s Latest Arrangements for the Survivors]

“In light of the increasing number of shelter survivors, the latest arrangements are to be made.”

“The shelter is dividing the survivors into permanent resident staff members and foreign workers. Permanent resident staff members include but are not limited to municipal staff, patrol team members, and general labourers… Permanent resident staff members are required to follow the shelter’s work arrangements and also enjoy greater welfare benefits, such as housing arrangements, medication protection and so on.”

“Among the survivors, of those who have awakened, those who have combat or firearms experience. These people can apply to join the patrol team, which receive greater overall welfare benefits… But once part of the patrol team, the member must also fulfil certain obligations…”

“Those who have management experience can become municipal staff members through interviews after submitting an application. The salary is…”

“The shelter does not impose any restrictions on foreign workers. But similarly, foreign workers do not enjoy any welfare benefits. If a foreign worker wants to obtain supplies, they can spend the corresponding source crystal to purchase it from the shelter. Foreign workers can also exchange for the corresponding supplies by completing the tasks regularly published by the shelter.”

After reading the contents of the notice, Zhao Xingping slowly and thoughtfully walked out from the crowd.

There were many survivors gathered around who began discussing with one another.

A survivor had a worried expression and said: “If the shelter is no longer in charge of the food. Won’t we go hungry again in the future?”

“This shouldn’t be the case.” A companion hesitantly answered: “Didn’t the notice above say that after becoming a permanent resident staff member of the shelter, the welfare benefits will be greater? We must become permanent resident staff members to enjoy the welfare benefits.”

“Having said that, I still feel uncertain about how much welfare benefit we will receive in the end. With the cancellation of the giant pot, no matter how full I am, I will still feel unsure about this reform.”

Zhao Xingping stepped forward and greeted these two men.

The survivors who work in the shelter know of each other, even if they aren’t familiar with one another.

Zhao Xingping doesn’t quite agree with the two as he said: “The shelter notice states that the food is provided according to work performance. In fact, if you simply calculate according to the previous workload, you will find that more food will be received than before.”

“Not only that, from what I see on the above notice. As long as we work hard in the future, we will not only have enough to eat but also enjoy better food. There will be a larger variety of food and even alcohol or tobacco provided to us which are luxuries we haven’t received before. I am very excited just thinking about it.”

The other two also nodded in agreement after careful consideration.

From this point of view, the restructuring of the shelter system for them is still beneficial overall.

“However, as mentioned on the notice. If we are required to obey the labour arrangements, the shelter won’t make us serve as cannon fodder, such as acting as bait to attract the demonized beasts.”

Speaking of which, some of the survivors seemed to recall something unmentionable and couldn’t help but shiver.

Zhao Xingping laughed and said: “Take it easy. Life in this place isn’t like the ** from before. If the shelter wanted to force us to become cannon fodder, they would’ve done so long ago. We couldn’t resist this even we wanted to anyway. Does the shelter need to take such tedious steps to accomplish this? In my opinion, this system reform is just because there are too many shelter survivors and management cannot be as casual as it was before.”

They haven’t been in the shelter for long, but how the shelter treats its survivors is obvious to all.

Zhao Xingping went on to say: “Moreover, as everyone can see from the notice. After becoming a permanent resident staff member, we can enjoy medication protection. This is medicine! Once we survivors get sick, the shelter is willing to provide us with medicine!”

There was a tinge of vibrato in his words.

During the doomsday, many survivors weren’t killed by the demonized beasts or died of starvation. Instead, they were unable to get timely and effective treatment for their illness in this harsh unforgiving environment. The minor ailments slowly began developing into serious illnesses and left many survivors dying in wails of agony.

With these experiences, everyone can understand the preciousness of medicine!

This is far more valuable than food!

It’s not uncommon to see survivors fight over and even kill for a small bottle of medicine in the wilds.

Zhao Xingping has never heard of a shelter providing medical treatments for their sick survivors.

He felt this was very incredible, and he felt… Very lucky.

In front of the small castle garden in the villa area.

“Leader, the rest is fine and dandy. But will anyone really join the patrol team?”

The patrol team receives the highest welfare benefits. But this team also receives the most demanding work.

Generally speaking, a normal shelter has a similar defence force but wouldn’t have such strict requirements. A normal patrol team will only internally monitor the shelter and help resist against demonized beast attacks when it arrives. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

However, on the notice…

For example, Leader Tang requires the patrol team members to regularly take part in demonized beast hunting expeditions, complete a certain amount of training each week and conduct an assessment for a period. Those who fail to meet the standards are dismissed…

Chen Haiping thinks this is a joke.

He has personally fought against the demonized beasts and knows how dangerous facing one truly is. If they have no choice, some of the survivors may decide to join the patrol team. But presently in the shelter, as long as one doesn’t slack off. They can enjoy a warm meal and wear warm clothing. Under such arrangements, Chen Haiping has doubts about how many people are willing to join the patrol team.

At present, there are only four people in the patrol team.

Captain Roger, himself, and two ordinary survivors who have barely qualified because of their marksmanship. These are the people who comprise the whole patrol team. The person who mainly goes out and searches for supplies or hunts down the demonized beasts is only Captain Roger. While the captain will only occasionally go out and hunt demonized beasts.

Chen Haiping thinks the most suitable survivors for joining the patrol team are people like awakened ones. These are the only people who have the ability to resist demonized beasts when they encounter them. Unfortunately, once these awakened ones gain their power, they become very arrogant. They feel as though there is no connection with the shelter and wonder why they should even work under the shelter.

At one time, during when Wang Tai was the peak power in the shelter. He claimed there were 70 or 80 awakened ones under him. But of those who would really take orders from Wang Tai, there were only less than half…

Chen Haiping has also observed the awakened ones in the shelter these days. Except for a few with better personalities or successful awakened ones with the help of the shelter. The rest more than likely act as parasites which hinder the development of the shelter.

In this case, with Leader Tang also requiring them to complete a certain amount of training, conduct regular assessments, and dismiss those who are… unqualified.

Chen Haiping thinks he must be going crazy.

“Old Chen, if you don’t believe me, I will say no more. There are still a few people willing to join. Starting with this small team. Naturally, there will be a second, a third, and… many more in the future. So, the size of the patrol team will grow.”

“However, even an awakened one can choose to work as a hauler. With an awakened one’s physical strength, they can easily receive enough remuneration to survive. For most people who feel it isn’t beneficial to join early, how can they join the patrol team later on?”

Next to him, Roger was furious as he said: “What good are these people?! What’s the use of keeping such spineless cowards like them?”

Are they useful?

Tang Yu would say, of course. They are useful. Wouldn’t these survivors who have been provided with food and shelter for so long just serve as the perfect role models?

Only when the pig is fat and can it be ready for slaughter.

Without comparison, how can others reflect on the shelter’s power?

Tang Yu stopped Roger and looked at Chen Haiping again: “The patrol team is easy to join in the beginning because there are fewer people now. But it will become difficult in the future… You know, whether organizing regular hunting expeditions or completing enough training, these are all welfare benefits of the patrol team.”

“Welfare Benefits?”

Chen Haiping suddenly became confused.
