Chapter 207 207G City Yancheng
Lan Shiruo held her forehead with her hand. These stupid teammates had strayed off topic again. "Let's get down to business."
Duan Jianghe touched his nose. "This is just water containing heavy metals. Drinking too much can be fatal. A small amount can have a mental stimulant effect. As for enhancing superpowers, suppressing the apocalyptic virus, or even curing it, that's all nonsense. If I'm guessing correctly, the heavy metals in the water are extracted from those ores."
"How mean! How could they come up with such a plan to make a huge profit without any investment? And these people believed it? Are they crazy?" Miaomiao said.
Duan Jianghe scoffed, "They've got a plan, right? They've got two people who've been cured by the potion. Wouldn't that be very helpful when these people are desperate? Many unscrupulous businessmen used this tactic before the apocalypse, not to mention now when people's hearts are at their most vulnerable. Tsk tsk, they've got quite a brain! They've found so much free labor."
My friends agree that psychological tactics are very useful.
"But aren't you taking the abandoned iron mine too seriously? If the mountain is destroyed, it will be as hopeless as if your parents have died." Feng Tao said. He is different from Guo Zi in that he is violent. He never uses his brain to think about problems. He solves them with his fists.
Therefore, as soon as the question was raised, it was met with disdain from all the other members. Lu Chaoyang said, "All the mines are now controlled by people. These abandoned people will not be allowed to go up there. Once they go in, they can't get out. There are very few abandoned mines like this, and they rely on them for survival. Destroying them will bring despair."
Feng Tao pursed his lips. He was just too lazy to think about it, not that he couldn't think of it.
The little friend's mouth twitched. Don't talk to idiots.
Lan Shiruo asked Lu Chaoyang, "Where is the next place? How far is it?"
Lu Chaoyang pointed at the map. "The next destination is Jiangzhou City G, only two days away. City G is a famous salt market with a salt mine with an exceptionally high salt content. Before the apocalypse, the annual output of edible salt, industrial salt, and livestock salt accounted for 10% of the country's total salt output. Its quality is superior to that of sea salt, lake salt, and well salt, and its sales volume is far ahead. At the beginning of the apocalypse, City G quickly seized control of the salt mine, and the current ruler of City G is also the salt mine's former largest shareholder."
Salt is a necessity of life. Acid rain destroyed most of it, but thanks to timely rescue efforts, the stockpile is now substantial. Other states and cities offer supplies in exchange, so City G is now considered a wealthy place. My friends love places with good food.
Lan Shiruo counted the inventory. She didn't notice anything until she saw that the salt reserves were already at a critical level. She knew she had to do something big. "Let's go to the salt mine to check the situation."
"good."
Two days later, in the afternoon, the team stopped ten kilometers outside the salt mine area. Further ahead, patrols were being set up, both visible and covert, with patrols every ten minutes, leaving absolutely no room for infiltration. He Lian listened to their conversation and it seemed the security hadn't been this strict before. It was only after hearing the news of the U City coal mine collapse that they became more cautious.
My friend was very embarrassed and felt like he had dug a hole for himself.
There was no choice but for the large team to stop here and prepare to explore the bottom later.
After dark, the others stayed behind, leaving only Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi to go. They could hide in the space if they were discovered. Little Lebao insisted on going, arguing that he, too, could enter the space. In the end, the three of them, plus the two spirits from the space, went together.
Lebao and the spirit were both in the space. The young couple took advantage of the night and disappeared into the darkness like ghosts.
Once you enter the defense area, you'll see searchlights, surveillance cameras, sentries, patrols, and barbed wire blocking the road all the way. It's simply amazing.
The young couple dodged left and right, sweating all over, and their progress was not fast. Just as they climbed over a small hill, a mutant dog ran towards them, scaring them so much that they quickly hid.
The mutant dog sniffed the spot where they disappeared, followed closely by a team of guards. "What did you find?"
"Woof woof," there was a breath of life.
The guard leader raised his hand, and the team members dispersed to search. After several trips back and forth, they found nothing. The leader frowned and said, "Let's go."
The young couple heard the sound of the crowd leaving, but they didn't show up. Within five minutes, those people came back again. This happened two or three times, but they still couldn't find it. "Step up the patrol, everyone else, be alert."
"yes."
This time they really left. The young couple appeared, patting their chests and running back.
The little friends were extremely surprised to see the big brothers and big sisters. Is this a Waterloo?
Lan Shiruo pouted. Don't think she didn't see the gloating in your eyes. "The security is too tight. It's impossible to sneak in. We can only think of other ways."
The man saw that the elder brother looked calm, and he didn't know what kind of depression he was feeling. He was pretending to be serious.
Ao Chengyi sneered and said, "Rest and go to City G tomorrow." Ao Chengyi was indeed depressed and embarrassed in front of his wife.
The three in the space were also depressed. They were preparing to show off their skills, but ended up coming back covered in dust and dirt, without even having a chance to show their faces.
The little friend covered his mouth and went back to bed. He was not allowed to laugh. He really couldn’t laugh, or he would be punished.
The young couple looked at each other and felt a headache. It was so embarrassing.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the large group took another route to City G, a journey of more than two hours. When they arrived, there was a long line outside City G waiting to enter the city.
The large group waited in a long line for an hour before it was their turn. They got a temporary card and settled into the city.
City G was indeed wealthy, as could be seen from the people roaming the streets and the surrounding buildings. The large group kept a low profile, choosing a large five-bedroom, three-living-room suite to move into. After lunch, they went out that afternoon to gather information.
Naturally, the most suitable place to do this is the mission hall. I thought I could sneak in like digging coal in a coal mine, but it turned out not to be possible. The requirements for salt-making workers are very strict. They must be a permanent team in G City, cannot have spatial abilities, and must keep their loved ones in G City. After going there, they must also be checked three times a day. Once an abnormality is found, not only will they die, but their relatives in G City will also die.
The road was blocked, and the large team was disappointed and wandered around the mission hall, looking for new opportunities.
Opportunities are not always there, and big teams end up disappointed.
I didn't notice that a pair of eyes were following me in the corner.
Xu Benying and his team went directly back to City G. The large team took a route around mining areas and energy sources, so they arrived several days after Xu Benying returned.
"Go find out where they live and what they are doing here."
"yes."
Zhang En and Xie Xiaochuan had their teeth knocked out by Guo Zi, and they ran away after saying some harsh words. When they drove back to look for them, they unexpectedly ran into bad luck and were robbed on the way. Today, they finally arrived at the gate of G City with their lives dragging around. If they had not protected their ID cards with all their might, they might have been driven away like stray dogs as soon as they arrived at the gate.
As soon as he entered the city, he cried loudly for his parents and attracted a lot of attention.
The big team discussed how to steal salt in the rented house. They had a lot of ideas, but they were all bad ideas. The little friend suggested letting the pangolin dig a hole. The pangolin, this stupid creature, was so excited when he heard about digging a hole that he showed his claws.
Youyou VS Youyou will have another 10,000-word update later, thank you for your support (*￣︶￣)
