Yu Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Director Li, you're too kind. If it weren't for the chance to cooperate with the Big Camphor Tree Base, all of us would probably be dead by now. Besides, the boiler we're transporting is for point contribution, so your thanks make us feel unworthy."
Though Old Fei was daydreaming, he also heard Li Yu's gratitude.
Faced with Li Yu's thanks, he felt a slight touch of emotion.
Although the main reason for transporting the boiler such a long distance was to earn high point rewards, it also carried some goodwill.
After all, it's a huge risk.
Not afraid of no reward, but afraid his goodwill goes unrecognized.
Initially, they weren't motivated by Li Yu's thanks.
But seeing Li Yu, the leader of Big Camphor Tree Base, being so friendly and thankful,
how could this not move him?
So he stood up and said to Li Yu: "Shi Tou is right, Director Li. We are merely completing contribution tasks. In this Doomsday, anyone can die. We should thank you for giving us all a chance to survive."
Li Yu waved his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
Said to them, "Carrying out this task amidst snow and wind, traveling long distances across provinces; moreover, the boiler you transported is bigger than the one on our exchange list.
Here's what we'll do.
Second Uncle, give them double points for contribution this time! And double for the food and supplies they exchange!"
Originally, the points and food exchanged for transporting this boiler equipment were quite high.
One reason being that this item is rare, categorized as special equipment, and another reason is that it's not easy to transport and requires a specialist to dismantle it intact.
Old Fei understands this.
So, given the constraints, this task isn't something just anyone can handle.
Second Uncle agreed with Li Yu's words.
Li Yu's clever wording not only explained to everyone why double rewards were given but also made Old Fei and Yu Lei feel rewarded.
This way, others could not delve further, and for Yu Lei and Old Fei, it showed them: your effort, I, Li Yu, have seen, and not only have I seen it, but I also practically reward you.
Old Fei was part of group number 10, belonging to the batch that joined Big Camphor Tree Base last, same as Yu Lei.
Originally, their entry points were quite different from those of veterans like Zuo Ruxue and Guo Peng.
But this event significantly boosted their entry points, nearly catching up to Zuo Ruxue and her group.
Yu Lei and Old Fei naturally realized this, feeling both sorrow for their recently lost brothers, yet equally stirred by Li Yu's double reward.
To know that completing such a task takes over ten days.
With immense risk and pressure.
But risk and reward go hand in hand.
Yu Lei and Old Fei gratefully said to Li Yu: "Thank you, Director Li."
Bowed with their team to Li Yu.
Li Yu nodded slightly at them, saying, "The snow and wind are harsh and cold, let's head inside early."
Then chatted a little with Yu Lei and Old Fei.
Dapao and the others went to check their vehicle equipment, impounding the cars, with only personal food and items kept aside, handing over all weapons until they're returned upon leaving the city.
Yu Lei, Old Fei, and others entered the First outer city after inspection.
He Chao received them within the First outer city, guiding them to a greenhouse in the First outer city.
These days, the number of cooperative personnel coming in increased.
Extra Staff almost numbered two hundred, combined with even more cooperative personnel, the greenhouse had to accommodate over a thousand people.
A greenhouse with only 1800 square meters, compounded by the placement of instruments, various equipment, and a central water canal.
Leaving them even less space.
Li Yu decisively allocated two greenhouses for their accommodation.
Without dividing space based on number.
Instead, one was for Extra Staff to live in, the other for cooperative personnel.
Extra Staff were fewer than two hundred, living in an 1800 square meter greenhouse, though both men and women stayed in one place, lacking privacy.
But at least, it wasn't overly crowded, apart from public walking areas, everyone had a relatively large space.
While the space provided for cooperative personnel was slightly cramped.
Leaving only the walking areas, lying flat sufficed to fill the space.
But at least it's much warmer inside than outside.
Despite the crowd, the ventilation system operated continuously, 24 hours without pause.
Though seemingly unfair,
this is how it is, with more contributions one becomes Extra Staff and enjoys better treatment.
With even more contributions, passing the assessments, you can live in an apartment, with a bed, no longer staying with so many people in one space.
With even more contributions, coupled with sufficient time spent, and passing various assessments, congratulations on entering the Inner City.
Having a private room, including resolving meals thrice a day, and you can shower with hot water anytime, even gaining access to some entertainment facilities, a gym, a bi-weekly cinema, sporadic distribution of small welfare food....
And so on.
Only through effort, completing tasks, making contributions, can one step into the core of Big Camphor Tree Base.
This is crystal clear to them.
The disparity between the two greenhouse treatments is evident.
And each greenhouse is equipped with cameras to prevent troublemakers.
........
After Old Fei and his group left, Li Yu thought for a moment, said to Second Uncle: "Take a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes from the warehouse for them. Let Yu Lei and Old Fei discuss how to distribute them; make it clear that this is my personal gift to them, not a contribution exchange."
Second Uncle laughed at Li Yu and said, "That's right, Xiao Yu. You're doing very well. Hearts need nurturing and warmth."
Li Yu said nothing, Second Uncle kept it understated, sighed heavily.
This is winning hearts.
Li Yu left the walls, watching Second Uncle's team transport the boiler to the Inner City.
Snowflakes drifted from the sky.
The wind from afar, chilling to the fingertips.
He wanted to eat hot pot, wanted to drink a little wine.

PS:
It's been a daily ten thousand words lately, everyone seems used to it, a bit lacking in voting motivation.
I used to write only four thousand a day, hahaha.
Personally, the book's performance isn't great. But I have excellent readers who encourage and support me.
Thank you all very much!
Without you, I wouldn't get this far. I want to challenge myself, tomorrow twenty thousand a day, see how long I can last based on stamina.
I don't know if I can write twenty thousand a day, but I'll push myself.
Give it a try, say it first, then exert pressure, force myself.
If push comes to shove, I won't sleep tomorrow!
This is my sincerity! Thank you!
