The two tons of gold that Yu Dalong gave to Liu Kai before was just a small matter.

Moreover, it's the kind that's extremely difficult to salvage, so the authorities naturally don't care.

That being said, what if he really takes this opportunity to make an exorbitant demand?

The state might reluctantly part with him and actually give him a lot of gold as a reward.

However, there is one question that must be considered: what if the world were to restart one day?

Even if Liu Kai has merit in salvaging the weapons, he will likely be purged by the authorities for taking advantage of the chaos.

Having figured this out, he had no choice but to give up this good opportunity to extort money from him.

"I have two conditions. If you agree to them, I will take action."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luofei couldn't help but tense up, her hands clenched tightly under her gloves until they turned slightly white.

"Please speak."

"First, I need 800 tons of diesel fuel."

Liu Kai's opening remarks were a bombshell, and Qin Luofei could hardly believe her ears.

"Eight...eight hundred tons? What do you need so much diesel for?"

800 tons of diesel fuel has a volume of 953 m3.

It would take a cube-shaped oil tank with sides of 10 meters to hold it!

Before the cold wave, this much diesel fuel was less valuable than 20 kilograms of gold.

The key issue is not the price.

In this era, even heavy trucks have become electric, and diesel fuel has almost disappeared from civilian use.

There will be large-scale demand in only two areas: military machinery and construction.

Moreover, with the arrival of a cold wave, the oil wells have been frozen.

Diesel fuel is a precious strategic resource, and every bit used is precious.

Even if the official inventory is available, it will still take a lot of time to unfreeze it before it can be used normally.

Liu Kai needed diesel fuel to power the mining machine.

The figure of 800 tons is a rough conclusion drawn from calculations.

He had also carefully considered that civilian gas stations were extremely rare in this era.

If he were to slowly amass wealth on his own, it would take forever.

Liu Kai did not answer Qin Luofei's question, but instead raised a second condition.

"Secondly, I want the satellites to stop monitoring me."

If the first requirement is simply to get a small piece of the pie from the official platform, then we can grit our teeth and give it to them.

The second requirement is a very dangerous signal!

Stop monitoring, get out of control.

What does he want to do?

Rebellion?!

Qin Luofei was so shocked she couldn't speak, while Liu Kai seemed to still have more to say.

He even added a sentence.

"Of course, I have no way of knowing whether the satellite has stopped monitoring, so you have to make me believe it."

"If you're expected to believe it willingly, why don't you just fly to the moon?"

Qin Luofei mentally complained about Liu Kai's demands.

However, she was only a captain and had no authority to make decisions.

After a long silence, he finally looked at Liu Kai with a complicated expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu, I cannot give you an answer immediately. This matter requires further attention from my superiors..."

"I know," Liu Kai waved his hand dismissively, "Contact me after you've discussed it."

"Would it be convenient to exchange contact information?"

Liu Kai wrote down his WeChat ID and secondary mobile phone number again and handed them to Qin Luofei: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Bye-bye."

He took the note, but when he looked up, he saw that Liu Kai had already walked down from the 4th floor.

Qin Luofei looked at the headless Japanese corpses scattered on the ground, then at the dark and gloomy building corridor.

I immediately felt a chill.

He quickly put away the blueprints and shouted, "Why are you running so fast? Wait for me!"

However, when she rushed onto the ice, Liu Kai was nowhere to be seen.

His face was contorted with rage as he stomped his feet, yelling, "My pistol!"

...

Liu Kai had already used abandoned vehicles under the ice as passageways to teleport back to the warm and comfortable underground fortress.

Remove the five mining machines and the frozen diesel fuel from the storage space.

All of them were moved to the first shooting training layer and prepared for thawing.

Fortunately, each level of the bunker is a little over 3 meters high, which is just enough to hold all these things.

These things are just extremely cold.

As soon as it left the storage space, it exuded a chilling aura, and water vapor continuously condensed on it.

Even with two heaters running continuously, you can feel the temperature slowly decreasing.

However, Liu Kai wasn't in a hurry; the food would thaw overnight.

After a long day of running around, all he wants now is to get some rest.

I took a nice hot shower.

I sat back in the soft movie chair at the home theater.

Fruits, snacks, cigarettes, and alcohol are laid out in front.

I pet the dog with my left hand and the cat with my right, then leisurely watch a movie.

Liu Kai's thoughts drifted.

Looking back on all that happened today, it all feels rather unreal.

In Qingshan Community, I witnessed one of the few glimmers of humanity amidst the apocalypse;

I finally got my hands on the mining machine I'd been dreaming of from the warehouse in the western suburbs;

Next, they successfully found the blueprints for the Guangming Town mine.

They encountered three forces: the government, the mutual aid society, and the Japanese.

Ultimately, he stepped in to "mediate the fight."

The benefits of forming an inter-agency mutual aid association and acquiring 300 kilograms of gold.

They might even be given another official mission: one that concerns the fate of all humanity.

"Tsk tsk, this is much more fun than staying at home playing video games."

Liu Kai couldn't help but sigh.

A sense of curiosity resurfaced in my mind.

He knew the authorities would most likely agree to those two requests.

After all, according to Qin Luofei, the mysterious ray weapon at the underwater research base was extremely important.

only.

What measures will the authorities take to prove that the surveillance on him has been lifted?

Two hours later, the movie ended.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and Liu Kai was about to get up and cook.

When the phone was plugged in and connected to the network, two notification sounds suddenly rang out.

The screen showed two WeChat friend requests.

The first one is male, using a picture of the Eiffel Tower as his profile picture.

Nickname: The Man Who Climbed the Eiffel Tower; Note: Old Ji from the Mutual Aid Association.

The second one is for women, using Patrick Star with a cigarette in his mouth as their profile picture.

Nickname: Qin Wang Rao Zhu; Note: Qin Luofei.

"Wow, these two are pretty quick."

Liu Kai readily accepted their friend requests, and the two messages popped up almost simultaneously.

"Brother Qiu, the 300 kilograms of gold are ready. Let's arrange a time and place, and I'll send someone to deliver it tomorrow."

"Mr. Qiu, the higher-ups are discussing the two conditions you proposed. We will let you know as soon as we have any news."

He ignored Qin Luofei for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Kai replied to Mr. Ji, "Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, Qingshan Community on the south side of Binhai Avenue."

The other party replied instantly: "No problem."

Speaking of Qingshan Residential Area, Liu Kai is going to make a deal with Dr. Huangfu tomorrow.

Since the information provided by Dr. Huangfu was accurate, he should also ensure that the medical equipment was in good condition.

They quickly checked the portable X-ray machine and electrocardiograph in the storage space again.

It is confirmed to be intact and usable.

Only then did I feel relieved and begin to carefully prepare today's dinner.
