Chapter 247 Wei Manman

Reached a trade agreement with Su Wu.

The Changming caravan took half a ton of gold, 10 tons of silver, and tens of thousands of boxes of special medicines.

A total of 15 mobile phones and 20 cubic meters of solid-state batteries were exchanged from Su Wu.

Just as You Zhixuan expected.

The main body of this major transaction is gold and silver.

Special medicines can only be regarded as a bonus, a benefit that Su Wu used to alleviate the pain of ordinary residents under his rule.

The total value of tens of thousands of boxes of medicine is equivalent to 20 cubic meters of solid-state batteries.

However, due to Su Wu's solid-state battery.

It has undergone a major upgrade and multiple optimizations.

In terms of performance, it has already caught up with the world's forefront before the end of the world.

Overall it is still profitable.

And after completing the bulk transaction.

You Zhixuan did not lead the caravan away immediately.

He continued to rent temporary shops in several large, densely populated shelters in Suwu.

Try to trade with the normal people in the shelter.

Anyway.

The entire Jianghe City has a population of over ten million.

No matter how poor.

When small amounts accumulate into large amounts, it will become a huge market.

Even retail for regular people, of course.

The items sold by the Changming Caravan are not expensive.

Basically, it was only sold at one-third or even one-tenth of the price in the large and small shelters they had passed along the way.

Generally, they are of good quality and low price.

This isn't charity on their part.

But if the price is set a little higher, they won’t be able to sell it.

With the support of the powerful force of Su Wu.

Ordinary people down there do not lack basic survival supplies.

Those who are interested in purchasing items from Changming Caravan.

Most of them are thinking of improving their lives and taking precautions.

The acceptable premium is quite limited.

Parkview Shelter.

The first underground floor is a residential street.

"Our compressed food, 50 grams, can meet an adult's daily nutritional needs."

“Shelf life is more than 20 years.”

“It’s very cheap.”

"You can accept contribution points as payment. 5 contribution points can buy a day's worth of compressed food."

You Zhixuan stood in the rented lobby on the first floor with his hands behind his back.

Looking from afar at the sales staff accompanying the team, selling products to local residents.

There was a hint of thought in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect such a big shelter.”

“There is not a single private merchant.”

"Looking at this, I guess all the locals will come to take a look at us today."

Gu Zeyu stood beside him, looking a little surprised at the lively scene.

Passed so many shelters along the way.

This is the first time that more than 50,000 to 60,000 people have shown up at their stall on the same day.

"It's just seeing how many people there are."

“The proportion of actual transactions is not high.”

You Zhixuan's gaze fell on the opposite side of the door, a department store that looked unpopular.

That's the official store here.

Many of the supplies sold there overlap with theirs.

At most the quality is worse.

"But don't be fooled by the fact that people here seem very poor."

"But they have enough food and drink."

“They basically all have their own jobs.”

"In terms of survival pressure, it's actually less than most people in other places."

"We can use the resources of a small, remote city to make tens of millions of people generally live well."

"That Director Su Wu has great management skills."

The true status of a shelter can often be reflected through these underlying transactions.

At least, based on what I saw.

You Zhixuan could be sure that unless a huge disaster occurred in the future within a short period of time, the entire Jianghe City would be overturned.

Otherwise, the rule here will be as stable as a rock.

Perhaps the question that their caravan came all the way here to investigate has already been answered.

"Speaking of work."

"I saw news on the Internet that most of the local people have been hired to build a super-large shelter."

"In the future, the entire population of Jianghe City may be relocated there."

“It would be nice if I could go over and take a look.”

Gu Zeyu was very curious about the super-large shelter that was rumored on the Internet.

This can be seen from the construction photos that have been circulated sporadically.

The actual scale of the place is indeed huge.

After completion, it might even be comparable to the core area of ​​their Changming City.

“There should be a chance in the future.”

“That’s not possible now.”

This epic large-scale project that mobilized millions of people brought all kinds of noise.

Naturally, it couldn't be hidden from You Zhixuan.

Even for the same thing, You Zhixuan saw more information.

Judging from Su Wu's strict protection of the super-large shelter under construction.

This is probably the most important equipment and most of the strategic resources in the entire Jianghe City.

They had all been moved there in advance.

The large shelters they are now dealing with accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

In fact, they should just be some temporary resettlement bases.

"Let's wait a few more days."

"We'll go back when most of the things are sold out."

Just when the caravan from Changming City stopped in Jianghe City.

Su Wu's own caravan finally repaired the broken roads along the way.

After much trouble, they arrived at the official shelter in Tumen City, 85 kilometers away.

Successfully concluded the first transaction with them.

Tumen City, official shelter exit 3.

Converted from a subway station, its actual location is at the exit on the edge of the city.

There are a large number of men and women in the shelter who have been unemployed for a long time.

Carrying very little luggage, they walked out from the underground with their family.

Lost the protection of the underground building.

There was heavy snow and howling cold wind outside.

These people, who were somewhat unprepared, were shivering with cold.

"Hurry up and get in the car."

"It will be warmer if you go up there."

Several urging voices rang out among the crowd.

A team of soldiers wearing guard equipment urged everyone to board the buses that were parked not far away.

And their voices.

This made the faces of these ordinary people who were forced out become even more confused and uneasy.

Wei Manman followed her mother timidly, trudging through the snow with one step deep and one step shallow.

It's snowing hard outside.

It was somewhat difficult for her to walk given her petite body.

But despite such hard work, she did not dare to slow down and show her differences from others.

that's it.

It took several minutes to walk a distance of several dozen meters.

Wei Manman got on a bus that looked like the one used for traveling before the apocalypse.

As soon as you enter the car.

The heater in the car began to gradually dispel the coldness on my body.

It also slightly comforted Wei Manman's somewhat uneasy mood.

She and her mother found two empty seats and sat down.

Mother is outside and she is inside.

The semi-enclosed space made Wei Manman a little bolder.

She turned her eyes away cautiously.

Looking outside through the huge and thick car window next to it.

It was gray outside the car.

The rapid fall of snow meant that the maximum visibility was only a dozen meters away.

Within this range.

One could only vaguely see a few ordinary people who, like Wei Manman and the others, were driven out of the shelter.

Yes, driven out.

In Wei Manman's opinion.

These people are unable to find a job and can only receive the minimum relief from the shelter.

It must have been thrown away as a useless burden.

The only difference from abandoning them directly is that they are given a hope which is not sure whether it is true or false.

Dozens or hundreds of kilometers away.

There's also a new shelter willing to take them in.

Carrying worries about the future.

The little girl looked out the window at the heavy snow outside.

Started to stay.

I don’t know how long it took.

The bus was gradually filled with people.

Then, it began to move slowly, sinking little by little into the depths of the wind and snow far away from the shelter.

at this time.

Wei Manman just discovered it.

The convoy she was in seemed to be very large.

It's not just the large number of buses.

There are also many vehicles like the armored vehicles seen in the video.

Occasionally in the strong wind and heavy snow.

You can also see some robots appearing and disappearing.

If it is normal.

Wei Manman saw the ferocious weapons mounted on the armored vehicles.

You will definitely be very scared.

But for now, just remember that they are walking with you.

Wei Manman felt only an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

With their protection.

I don't think we'll encounter any danger along the way.

A huge convoy headed by a base vehicle.

We drove back to Jianghe City along the same route we came from.

Because the road has been repaired once.

The entire convoy was moving at a fairly fast pace.

Basically maintain a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.

If nothing goes wrong, we will reach the urban area of ​​Jianghe City in three hours at most.

But because of the huge commotion caused by the convoy on its way to Tumen City, it has become known to everyone.

This return journey is bound to be full of twists and turns.

1 hour and 15 minutes after departure.

The convoy suddenly stopped without any warning.

Then there was a loud noise and vibration.

It spread from the front of the convoy all the way to the back.

The people sitting in the car felt like they were experiencing an earthquake of magnitude 6 or 7.

"Warning, unknown armed attack detected."

"The base vehicle is in combat mode."

"The land combat group is dispatched to counterattack."

"A swarm of combat drones begins to take off."

A cold voice that seemed to be devoid of any emotion.

It came through the radio on the bus.

It indirectly told everyone in the car what was happening outside.

Wei Manman curled up in her chair.

Some shivering.

But there was a warm atmosphere in the car, and no other abnormalities were seen.

But it gradually calmed her anxiety.

So much so that at the end, I even had a little courage.

He glanced secretly out the window again.

The window was covered with snow as usual.

But occasionally.

You can also see one or two flashes of red light, followed by slight explosions and vibrations in the distance.

It was like a cannonball hit the target from a distance.

Wei Manman didn't know what that meant.
I can only pray silently.

Hope the team is safe.

More than half an hour later.

All the noise died down.

The bus started moving forward again as if nothing had happened.

soon.

Wei Manman, who had been looking out the window, noticed several burning vehicles on the side of the road, with only their skeletons left.

Deep red flames and black smoke on the vehicle

In the wind and snow, it is often torn into strange shapes.

Like a beacon from hell.

Wei Manman's heartbeat stopped for a moment.

This scene is deeply engraved in my mind and I can never forget it.

The journey ahead.

There were no more surprises.

When Wei Manman followed her mother and got off the bus again.

They had emerged into a shelter that was brightly lit and warmer than before.

Line up to register.

Received a mobile phone and a pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Wei Manman followed the staff's instructions and registered her own account on her mobile phone.

He put the earphones back on his ears.

Shortly afterwards.

A soft and pleasant voice, as if it belonged to a little girl of her own age.

Ringing in her ears.

"Your name is Wei Manman."

"You've practiced dancing for 10 years?"

Farmhouse courtyard, control center on the underground floor.

Su Wu received news that a caravan returning from Tumen City had been attacked.

"A large amount of explosives was buried on the road in advance."

"We have three tanks, 17 or 18 armored vehicles, and a large number of individual rockets and howitzers."

“This configuration is really luxurious.”

Su Wu's eyes were somewhat sharp at this moment.

He is no longer a military rookie.

As soon as I saw this information, I immediately identified the real culprit.

The environment in the end times.

It is both dangerous and chaotic, but there are traces to follow.

Specifically, the section between Jianghe City and Tumen City.

If there are small groups of bandits roaming around, there is still a possibility.

But it has risen to the configuration of a regular army.

Even tanks showed up.

Then it obviously couldn't be wild bandits.

It is most likely that it comes from the other two large forces that are opposed to the official shelter in Tumen City.

"Use such a powerful weapon."

"This should be because they want to test the quality of the caravan."

"If they are easy to bully, just eat them. If they are not easy to bully, just treat them as disrupting the official shelter in Tumen City."

"There is no such good thing."

In just a few breaths.

Su Wu had already sketched out a psychological portrait of the mastermind behind the scenes.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Such an unscrupulous attitude obviously does not take Su Wu seriously.

I don't think he can handle places that far away.

"Since you want to fight so much."

"Then let them fight to their heart's content."

A decision was made in my mind.

Su Wu's emotions gradually calmed down.

He continued to review the report.

Thanks to the powerful detection equipment on the base vehicle.

The explosives that the robbers had placed on the road in advance did not cause any damage to the convoy.

Then the base vehicle in combat mode is deployed.

Successfully annihilated all enemies within 15 minutes.

Apart from a transport vehicle that was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet, there was basically no other damage.

And that's why it took so long to end the battle.

Most of the time is spent on searching and pursuing.

The actual fighting time was less than a minute.

"It was luck this time."

“I may not be sure about that next time.”

"If the bus was hit by stray bullets, dozens of people would have been killed or injured."

"It seems that from now on, caravans can no longer use fragile buses to transport people."

"It would be best to replace them all with snow transport vehicles."
