Silver Dragon Gang
Compared to the base which still had sporadic street lights, there was no one to be seen outside the base.
Jiang Miao took out his night vision goggles and put them on, accurately avoiding a large pool of blood that was about to dry up on the ground, a corpse that was about to rot next to it, and ruins with steel bars everywhere.
On the way, she also met two or three lawless thugs who overestimated their own capabilities, but they were all small fry and not enough for her to deal with.
This time when she left the base, she was going to the seaside. The coastline was about 40 kilometers southeast of the city.
That place is an important economic pillar supporting Ancheng's economy. It is an area that is under the close attention of the military and political authorities before and after natural disasters. Therefore, Jiang Miao has never thought of trying his luck there.
But the eternal night has come, and most of the equipment and industries in the ports in the southeastern waters that could be moved have already been moved away. The only ones who are still rampant in the coastal areas are pirates.
In her previous life, the Blue Flame Team that Jiang Miao belonged to often suffered losses at the hands of this group of pirates, so she certainly had an ulterior motive when she went there this time.
She already has cars, motorcycles, helicopters, etc. in her space, but the most practical means of transportation on the water is the motor kayak.
This thing might be of some use when a flood comes, but if there is a tsunami, a big wave will overturn it and it will disappear below the sea level.
Jiang Miao always thinks of danger in times of peace. She did not encounter a tsunami before her death in her previous life, and she does not know whether there will be one after her death. Only when all transportation by sea, land and air is gathered together, will she feel safe.
Relying on his memory, Jiang Miao walked to the flat road and took out his mountain motorcycle.
She had someone specially modify the motorcycle's engine, so it was powerful and quiet, but it still looked particularly eye-catching in the dark and lonely night.
A low-key roar quickly passed through the darkness, and then a dozen people came out from the surrounding ruins, because the air was full of the smell of gasoline.
Two hours later, she could vaguely see the stars on the beach, the gray-black sand, the rusty containers, and the garbage and debris all over the ground.
Jiang Miao found a secluded place, parked the car, took off his helmet, put the motorcycle into the space, took out the dagger and put it on his waist, and walked towards the beach with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Don't move!"
The man was wrapped up so tightly that only his eyes were exposed. He looked at me from head to toe with a wooden spear in his hand: "Who are you? Don't you know that this is the territory of our Silver Dragon Gang?"
Jiang Miao raised his hand in cooperation: "I'm here to buy goods."
In addition to robbery, the Silver Dragon Gang also does business, living off the sea. They sell dried goods such as shrimp, scallops, squid, snail meat, kelp, and seaweed in large quantities and at good prices. Their sea salt is also cheaper than the market-priced bagged salt.
In the doomsday, it can be regarded as a private base where one can dominate the mountain.
Seeing that she was not lying, the man put away his gun and lowered his guard: "Want to buy anything? Our boat just caught a boatload of yellow croaker and swimming crabs yesterday. They are very plump."
"Take me to see the goods first."
These fishing boats are not Jiang Miao's target.
She knew there was a type of ship that could fight tsunamis, called a self-righting patrol rescue boat, which could reduce the amplitude of left and right swaying to 80 percent in severe sea conditions. It had the advantages of high speed, strong stability and comfort, and good seaworthiness. Even if it completely capsized, it could automatically right itself within ten seconds, and was jokingly called the 'tumbler of the sea'.
However, self-righting yachts are only available at military bases, and the level of confidentiality and vigilance for new things like these, which are similar to military transportation vehicles, is much stricter than that of guns and ammunition, and only specific troops know its whereabouts.
She came here today to check out the place in advance. Anyway, she had to get this thing before going to Beijing.
"Okay, this way please."
Jiang Miao couldn't go to the military sea base, so he had to try his luck with the pirates.
The two of them boarded the fishing boat together, and the Silver Dragon Gang tied a dozen fishing boats together like Cao Cao did with iron chains, forming a flat land area that they could travel freely on.
"Boss, a guest is here."
Almost at the moment he opened his mouth, Jiang Miao took out a crossbow and shot down the fishing lights on both sides of the fishing boat, and the surroundings immediately fell into darkness.
Wearing night vision goggles, Jiang Miao leaned against the hull, the dagger in his hand emitting a chilling light under the starlight.
"I came here sincerely to buy goods, and this is how the Silver Dragon Gang treats me?"
In the previous life, "there are guests coming to the door" was the Silver Dragon Gang's code for ripping off their guests.
This literally means rip off the guests. Men are stripped of their bones and flesh, cooked in oil and boiled in water, while women are squeezed dry of their last value, but they cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered either.
In the dark night, countless green eyes lit up all around. Jiang Miao cracked his finger bones and took the initiative without any hesitation!
"ah!"
"hiss."
“Plop——”
A dozen people were overturned under the boat. Jiang Miao, who had upgraded his physique and equipped himself with full equipment, came here again and seemed like a top-level boss slaughtering the novice village. He was not afraid of more than a dozen people attacking him together.
"stop."
The captain of the boat spoke, and Jiang Miao kicked the nearest one away and stopped.
The remaining minions also stopped and the fishing lights were lit again.
There was blood everywhere on the boat, but when others rescued the wounded who fell into the river, no one was fatally injured. It can be seen that Jiang Miao showed mercy and wanted to continue his business.
But in today's world where medical care is scarce, whether those wounds get infected or not is none of her business.
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest. Please come in." In the darkness of the cabin, there was a bloated middle-aged man standing near the light. Only his figure could be seen, not his face.
But Jiang Miao knew that this was not the leader of the Silver Dragon Gang, but just a ship captain who was pushed to the front to attract fire.
"I came here sincerely to buy goods, but the Silver Dragon Gang didn't even ask me how many customers I have, and they just wanted to rip me off. This is really bad business."
But after a moment, a light voice came from the other side: "Kill him."
Still want to take action?
Jiang Miao's alarm bells rang and she clenched her dagger, and was about to grab the gun from the space when she heard a "puff" sound beside her - the little guy who brought her on the boat died instantly at the hands of his companion, the smell of blood spread, and he was immediately dragged to another boat.
The whole process took no more than a minute, and there was no sound other than the knife entering the flesh.
Jiang Miao's heart sank again and again. In the end, without saying anything more, he followed the black shadow into the cabin.
She killed many people in Doomsday, but she never tortured them, never insulted the corpses, and never pointed her knife at her companions with whom she had just fought.
The core of the Silver Dragon Gang is far darker and more evil than she knew.
"What's your name, distinguished guest?" The light in the cabin was much brighter, and Jiang Miao could see the people around him clearly. The captain looked no different from his previous life.
A man with fierce eyes, tattoos all over his arms and a face full of flesh sat in the first seat, while the real leader was the woman behind him who was bowing and serving as a maid. People on the road called her Sister Tang.
Because the brothers ate meat and she drank soup.
"No need to tell me your surname is Jiang." Jiang Miao leaned back and put his legs on the table, perfectly demonstrating his attitude of someone who is not to be messed with.
"Ms. Jiang, you said you have a big deal. Please tell me what it is."
She smiled and said, "Two hundred kilograms of dried kelp, one hundred kilograms of dried salted fish, one hundred kilograms of dried sea shells, and fifty kilograms of small shrimps. As for who to sell them to and where to sell them, you don't need to worry about it."
Wow, he can still take over such a large warehouse of goods under the Eternal Night Disaster. It seems that he is a middleman with considerable power, and it is very likely that he has a close relationship with the official base.
"We have no shortage of things, but the transaction amount and currency have to be decided by us!"
Jiang Miao hooked his sleeves impatiently: "Okay, as long as the goods are good, everything can be discussed."
The captain looked at Sister Tang and said, "How about checking out the goods tonight?"
Jiang Miao: "It's so dark, it's not easy for me to come out, it would be best if we can reach a deal tonight."
Although the person in front of him had nothing on her, it didn't mean that there were no people following her nearby.
"Third brother, take Miss Jiang on a boat to the back warehouse to check out the goods."
The Silver Dragon Gang has been able to stand on the seashore for so long and gradually develop into a gang of hundreds of people. Of course, it has its unique features.
For example, the warehouses of the entire gang were assigned to different ships and parked at different locations on the sea. No one could find them except themselves.
The third brother took Jiang Miao and a younger brother onto a small rescue boat.
The sea was calm and peaceful. There had not been even any waves on the sea since the natural disaster. It was as smooth and flat as a sapphire mirror, quiet and eerie.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Although Jiang Miao did not survive the tsunami in his previous life, looking at the unusual sea level, it seemed as if all the winds, waves and tsunamis of recent years were gathered together in one period of time.
So, Jiang Miao must not miss that self-righting patrol rescue boat no matter what.
The speedboat sailed out of the harbor, leaving shallow ripples on the sea surface.
During the voyage, Jiang Miao keenly noticed that when passing through some sea areas, the boat driver would turn off the high beams in advance and row through in the dark.
Jiang Miao then knew that there must be a naval base nearby.
Then in less than half an hour, they rowed to the warehouse ship and someone on board immediately came to meet them.
The third brother introduced while showing: "Look, this batch is the last fresh goods fished out before the eternal night. If it gets harder to fish out after a while and there is no 24-hour sun to dry them, the price will not be so cheap."
"Yeah, not bad." Jiang Miao nodded with satisfaction. "Before I came here, I was worried that your goods were all dry and skinny, so I insisted on coming to see the source of goods. I didn't expect that it greatly exceeded my expectations."
The third brother's eyes lit up: "That's right, we are all professional fishermen here, and we know the market conditions on the sea and under the sea very well!"
"I chose to cooperate with you because the Silver Dragon Gang has a relatively large influence on the sea."
Jiang Miao calmly changed the subject: "My subordinates received a batch of goods some time ago, but the uneven quality caused me to suffer a huge loss! I lost a lot!"
The third brother asked quietly, "Are you collecting from the port in the east?"
"That's right, how did you know that?"
"Hey, that place was indeed sold by individual investors before, but it was taken over by the government a year ago."
"Why haven't I heard that the government has taken over the docks?"
The third brother snorted and laughed: "We all call that place the fake official. Before the doomsday, it was indeed a regular army. Now it is Wan Chongshan's one-man show!"
Ten thousand mountains?
Even if Jiang Miao were to live again, he still wouldn't know who this person is.
On the way back, Jiang Miao added 100 kilograms of small shrimps and 200 kilograms of conch meat to the original cargo, which was almost the entire ship's cargo!
Big deal!
The third brother simply asked the warehouse ship to meet directly at the dock. Knowing that the big customer was interested in this, he told all the gossip he knew during the chat!
"Wan Chongshan is the commander of the navy. I heard that he went to military school under someone else's name. His father is a nightclub manager. How could he raise such a person?"
Jiang Miao didn't want to hear about his life story, so he asked, "He left the army command and set up his own company without permission. Didn't the higher-ups punish him?"
"Pretend to obey but secretly disobey!"
The third brother was angry: "A navy can only be called a navy if it relies on the sea. Would the army just leave the aircraft carriers and submarines alone and send everyone inland? Impossible."
"So, Wan Chong Shan said one thing to us and another behind our backs. On the surface, they obeyed orders, but in fact, they did a lot of things to make money and squeeze the people's fat! If it weren't for us Silver Dragons to help them develop, we would have to continue to pay tribute and protection fees to them!"
Jiang Miao understood: "So that's how it is."
The younger brother who was driving the boat turned off the high beams again, and the third brother's voice unconsciously became lower: "That's right, Wan Chongshan is like a local emperor in his naval base. If we can't match him in equipment, our Silver Dragon Gang will at least do something big to help the people!"
When the rescue boat lit up its lights again, there were only two people left on board.
A gust of cold wind blew over the sea, and the third brother's eyes widened immediately: "Where are the people!?"
This is on the sea, in the deep sea!
