Chapter 382: Ingenious Calculation of Transportation of Supplies
What Jingshu is actually most concerned about is how much armed forces will be taken away by the underground black market this time. These Chinese or even wild mercenaries are as worthless as dogs in front of the nobles. Fighting a life-and-death match is naturally the most cost-effective way to consume mercenaries, and they are reluctant to use their own armed forces.
George didn't even blink when a team of wild mercenaries died, but he broke out in a sweat when two teams of his trusted associates died, and he even recovered all the equipment and weapons after they died.
Jingshu and her group were also rewarded with black market coins, but this thing...what's the difference between it and just a pie in the sky?
"We're leaving in a hurry this time. Only nobles and private bodyguards are allowed in. We'll welcome the others after we've settled everything. After all, the ticket for a normal citizen in Austin costs 500 pounds of rice." George talked nonsense and left in a hurry.
Although this was said in a euphemistic way, the meaning was very clear. He would abandon everyone and escape this time with only abundant supplies and the nobles' private armed forces to seek refuge in Austin.
How much material is there on the underground black market? This is the food that a large number of grain merchants hoarded before the end of the world. 5 million farmers have an annual output value of 500 million tons, which is equivalent to the annual output of 700 million farmers in China. These boxes of containers each represent a ton of material, and these materials are piled up all over the dock.
As for the monopoly bosses' supplies, they had even more. In the dark weather, Jingshu looked at the boatloads of slaves being squeezed under the warehouses. Their status was not even as high as that of the chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows in the warehouses.
The cargo ship sank as it drew water, and only when it was about to spill into the trough did people stop boarding it.
Boxes of salt, sugar, and even metal ore were put into the super huge cargo ship. I heard that this ship carried 100,000 tons of cargo. Of course, there were also several ships of oil. The 10,000-ton ships that are rarely seen in normal times can be seen everywhere here. They are constantly loading goods and transporting various materials onto the ship, which makes Jingshu feel itchy.
More than one large ship and three cruise ships fled with 90% of Sacramento's supplies.
I heard that one of them was a private luxury cruise ship specially owned by a big boss. Limited edition luxury cars were transported up, as well as helicopters and all kinds of luxurious things that Jingshu couldn't even imagine before the end of the world. This wasn't just a big boss moving, this was simply emptying a city!
But no matter what, this was the first time Jingshu had ever boarded a high-class cruise ship in her past and present lives. This cruise ship was the one that all the nobles, relatives, and bodyguards in the underground black market took.
They were arranged in the common people's housing on the first floor, the cruise ship, the fourth floor was a restaurant and a private playground. The second and third floors were occupied by the nobles.
There are several rooms on the cruise ship, each with two small beds, a separate bathroom and a balcony, which are similar to the configuration of a luxury hotel. It's a pity that there is no electricity or water in the civilian rooms. If you want to flush the toilet or drink water, you have to scoop it directly from the river.
It is worth mentioning that Guang Jingshu's luggage alone filled the entire balcony and half of the house. She regretted that she should have shipped the sorted dried meat back home two days ago. This half was the meat she cooked at the competition venue.
However, what Jingshu didn't expect was that it was her large amount of food that saved the entire team and allowed the team to survive dozens of days without food.
While the big guys in the underground black market and the city were busy escaping with their minions and were setting off with the goods, Jingshu and her group discussed the feasibility of Yang Yang's plan this time.
In fact, the two teams never spoke again after they met. After all, they were acting out a complete play, and Jingshu was just passively accepting Yang Yang's instructions.
Tank held up his encrypted phone and pointed at the message from Yang Yang:
"Your mission tonight is to steer Freighter No. 24 along its normal route, passing through the Sacramento Canal, Glenn, and continuing on from Colusa. Please ensure it delays you for at least six hours. Good luck. By the way, tonight you should be thinking about how to survive and escape their pursuit. We'll reunite in Colusa afterward."
Tank scratched his head and asked questioningly, "Originally, the underground black market's plan was along this route. So isn't it redundant for him to give us this order?"
The snake demon pointed at the map and said, "Old Sheep's team is in charge of leading the way and turning the supplies in front from Colusa to Wei.
The Liansi route goes directly to the Grand Canal and transports the supplies back to China, while our team will continue on from Colusa to cover their stealthy transportation of the supplies."
So, Jingshu's initial thought of relying on just a few people to steal the American supplies and then loading them box by box at the dock was really outrageous! The power of an individual is always small. People like Jingshu are more easily satisfied. As long as they fill their own space with supplies, they are satisfied. But after arriving in the United States, she found that human desires are simply insatiable.
Look at Yang Yang's plan. This one is really a big deal. He is going to take away the entire city's supplies. Jing Shu has already felt the anger of these big guys after they got to know the news. What kind of storm are they going to face? Oh, it's not just one person, there are hundreds of nobles chasing him for life and death.
Jingshu silently glanced at the armor beside her and felt relieved. Before the plan was even implemented, she was already thinking about how to escape.
After discussing the implementation plan in detail, the group returned to their respective rooms to rest for four hours. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Only Jingshu sneaked out of the room. Tonight was the last night on this luxury cruise ship. She had no time to fill her own space secretly since she came to the United States. The key was that there was no place for Jingshu to display her skills.
But this cruise ship is a good place. She has specially observed today that all the nobles' valuable personal belongings have been carried up, and there are even a lot of food, living things, etc. Jingshu's target is these precious things.
She had no shortage of rice and other food, but what she lacked were the precious ingredients of the apocalypse, living poultry or other living creatures that could be cultivated and produced. Furthermore, Jingshu had lived for so long and had never tasted the precious ingredients of the United States. Even if there weren't any precious ingredients, Jingshu could still explore the treasures and see what was on this cruise ship. Surely there would be some low-end weapons? Stealing a batch would fetch a high price back home.
Jingshu skipped the first three floors and came to the restaurant on the fourth floor. At this moment, the entire cruise ship was in a mess. The nobles and servants were still packing up their things, and the restaurant on the fourth floor was also busy preparing food.
