"Yes, I just arrived. You've worked hard!" The group got out of the car and walked towards the construction site.
When the workers saw that it was the boss, they all stopped and gave him a warm greeting.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Wei Lun greeted the workers loudly.
Upon hearing the boss's words of comfort, some workers were touched by his concern, others were thrilled that he had come to see them in person, and still others eagerly awaited praise.
Wei Lun waved his hands, greeting the people who were busy completing the rooftop sealing work.
As if they had found a leader, everyone suddenly became even more dedicated.
"Du Kun, Qin Jiayou, you two come back to the base with me. Zeng Guangtian, Lei Long, and Zhu Guanjun, stay here and rest for a bit."
Wei Lun prepared to return to the base to buy some ammunition. As for Zeng Guangtian and the other two, they could finally get some rest. Having seen the construction site, they believed that the construction would be completed soon, making the renovation easier. There were plenty of resources on the site, so they probably wouldn't lack materials.
"Yes, boss!"
Du Kun was bored being alone at the construction site, and the thought of going on business with the boss filled him with excitement.
Wei Lun, Qin Jiayou, Qin Mutong, and Du Kun got back into the car, left the construction site, and drove towards the base.
After returning to the base,
Wei Lun first took out 900 packs of bread and 1000 packs of biscuits and handed them to Qin Jiayou and Du Kun, telling them to exchange them for crystal cores.
Du Kun was shocked to see so much food; his pupils dilated in disbelief that the owner had so much.
But seeing Qin Jiayou's perfectly normal expression, I couldn't help but twitch my lips a couple of times. So much food, and you guys didn't even react?
Wei Lun looked into the space and saw that most of the food had been taken out, and there were still a thousand boxed meals piled up in the tent as reserve food for the construction site and his guards. He didn't know how long he would stay after returning to the modern world, so it was better to stock up on some food first.
Soon, Qin Jiayou and Du Kun returned. Wei Lun's Black Diamond Crystal Core Card already contained 30,000 crystal cores. Because food was becoming increasingly scarce, and Wei Lun's biscuits and bread were selling very well, attracting a large number of wealthy people to buy them, the price had increased again. This way, they would have enough money to buy military equipment!
"Qin Jiayou, you take care of the boxed lunches and food. Du Kun, you come with me to the black market merchant to buy things!"
Wei Lun made this arrangement for a reason. Du Kun had never seen so much food before. He was almost shocked when he entered the room. The boxed lunches at the construction site hadn't even been finished when fresh pork trotter rice was delivered.
In Du Kun's mind, the boss was like a magical magician who could conjure things out of his pocket at any time.
Qin Jiayou was very obedient; he did whatever Wei Lun told him to do. As for Du Kun, he liked to follow the boss the most, because that was the only way he could demonstrate his value as a member of the guard. He hoped that once the guard team grew stronger, he could secure a good position for himself.
At the same familiar spot, Wei Lun and Du Kun arrived together at the entrance of a tent piled high with old clothes.
"Brothers cherish each other regardless of their origins!" Wei Lun said to the people inside.
"Friends, you must have treasure! Distinguished guest, please come in!" A voice came from inside the tent.
Du Kun actually knew that there was a black market in the apocalypse. They not only sold weapons, but could do many unimaginable things, and even assassinate others. However, Du Kun had never met a black market merchant. He only knew that he had to protect his boss at this time, and unconsciously gripped the weapon in his hand even tighter.
The two men entered the tent, where several guns were pointed at Wei Lun and his companion.
Just as Du Kun was about to raise the muzzle of his gun, Wei Lun gently pressed down, stopping Du Kun from doing so.
"Mr. Wang, we meet again!" Wei Lun smiled slightly, his expression calm and composed.
"Boss Wei, your subordinate doesn't know the rules very well. I'll only do this once for your sake, and it won't happen again." Wang Ci's face revealed a hint of bloodlust, and his eyes were full of contempt.
"Do you have 5,000 rounds of ammunition for this gun?" Wei Lun went straight to the point without any beating around the bush. When dealing with black market dealers like this, the main thing is to follow the rules. No amount of nonsense will help. In their eyes, profit comes first!
"As you know, we have a lot of goods that you wouldn't expect." Wang Ci was very confident, his face full of pride.
"So, is there any artillery fire? Any that a single soldier can use?"
Wang Lun wanted to strengthen the guard's armed forces this time. Presumably, in the post-apocalyptic world, black market merchants had countless weapons, and artillery would be plentiful as well.
"Individual rocket launcher? 100 crystal cores per launcher, I'll give you a maximum of 100. How many do you want?" Wang Ci was very cautious. Selling too many rockets to one person would have a significant impact on them.
"Then 100 rounds it is! Plus 5000 rounds of ammunition," Wei Lun nodded.
Wang Ci stood up and led Wei Lun to a heavily guarded cave on the mountain to retrieve the goods.
The entire cave was clearly dug out intentionally, complete with all sorts of facilities and several passages, though it's unclear where they lead.
Looking at the weapons in the several caves, all kinds and different, Wei Lun really wanted to swallow them all at once, enough to arm dozens of people.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking. These black market merchants who even eat people are not so easy to deal with. They have been doing business for so long without failing, which shows that there are many unseen forces involved.
In the end, they traded 5,000 bullets and 100 individual rocket launchers, spending 30,000 crystal cores and some food. The money they had just earned was gone in an instant.
All the equipment was transported to a location on the hillside, and Wei Lun stored it all inside the dark jade pendant's spatial storage.
Then they took Du Kun down the mountain and quickly returned to their tent.
"Boss, is everything done?"
Qin Jiayou had already sorted all the grain, keeping some for backup and taking the rest to the construction site to feed the workers, all in an orderly manner.
"Alright, here's a thousand rounds of ammunition and ten individual rocket launchers. Your guards, equip yourselves."
Every time Wei Lun took out equipment, he would dismiss everyone, so all people knew was that the boss brought back equipment, but no one knew how he got it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the man-portable rocket launcher.
This is something that looks like a missile, and it's dark green in color, but it's actually a tiny rocket. It can be placed on the ground, its coordinates can be set directly, and it can calculate its location and accurately strike without any navigation. This is truly incredible technology.
When Wei Lun heard Wang Ci's explanation, he was also surprised, as the principle actually came from compass technology.
Du Kun and Qin Jiayou were also very surprised when they saw the bullets and rockets. These were things they had only seen on TV before, but now they were in their hands.
After the arrangements were made, Du Kun drove his car, carrying boxed lunches and weapons and equipment, to the construction site.
"I need to leave for a while. Take care of yourselves, I will definitely come back."
Wei Lun stepped forward, hugged Mu Tong with affection, gently stroked her cheek, kissed her forehead, and then turned and walked out of the tent.
The Qin father and daughter watched Wei Lun leave from outside the tent. As his figure grew farther and farther away, a pang of sadness welled up in their hearts.
Qin Jiayou sighed and comforted his daughter, "Go inside. He's already gone. He's not the kind of person who would abandon you. Don't worry."
