Chapter 184 Arriving at Chenguang Base
Fu Hengyuan responded with a smile: "The team sent by Duan Ran will arrive in two or three hours, and they can leave after the handover."
"Then I'll go back to the car and rest."
As soon as Mu Jiu finished speaking, Gu Yang had already wrapped himself up and came in to pick him up holding an enlarged black sunscreen umbrella.
Mu Jiu got into the car and tidied up before falling asleep. Her menstrual period had come in the past few days, and the weather was hot, making her uncomfortable.
When I woke up, it was already dark outside, and the armored vehicle was still parked in place.
Mu Jiu frowned. Fu Hengyuan always kept his word. It had been six or seven hours since she fell asleep.
She turned around and asked Gu Yang, "What happened if you haven't left for so long?"
"It should be soon. The people sent by Commander Duan to hand over the supplies didn't arrive until just now.
I don't know if there is some situation at the base or there was an accident on the road, so it was delayed until now.
Chief Fu is currently in the villa to understand the situation.
However, the people in the villa were also restless. Some people refused to leave on their own and insisted on following Chief Fu for fear that the base would eat people. "
Mu Jiu lowered her head and thought: Yes, if she were one of those people, she would be willing to follow Fu Hengyuan.
Among the senior officials of the base, there are a few good people like Fu Hengyuan who are powerful and wealthy, and can also handle things.
If they go to the official base on their own, it's hard to say whether there is a way to survive.
Where there are many people, there is also a lot of trouble, not to mention those who have been physically hurt...
But she can't be their master, after all, there is a price to pay for charity.
One more person and one more mouth must be supported by food and water. It is not possible to save a group of people just by relying on the heart of the Holy Mother.
She has many people under her command, including more than 7200 people who plant fruit trees on the mountain, and more than 3600 people in various regions who are responsible for transporting and selling fruits and vegetables.
There are over 10,000 people in total, each performing their own duties and exchanging labor for points, and no one is idle.
"Since you're not in a hurry to leave, let's have dinner first. I'm hungry."
Looking at the busy situation outside, Mu Jiu probably couldn't care less about eating, but she was hungry.
It was dark outside, so there was no big concern. Gu Yang and Gu Nuan got out of the armored vehicle carrying pots, pans and ingredients.
On the ground near the car door, a floor mat was laid, a charcoal fire was lit in the small earthenware stove, and dinner was started.
The weather is hot, so their meals don’t need to be too complicated.
When going out, Mu Jiu brought the Hong Kong-style barbecue made by Lou's mother, including roast goose, roast duck, sweet sausage and large chicken drumsticks.
Just put it into the pot and steam it with white rice. Finally, boil a piece of cabbage and put it in a bowl. It is a combination of meat and vegetables.
The aroma of roasted meat attracted the attention of many people around, but no one dared to get close.
Fu Hengyuan's people obeyed military orders, and those refugees had seen this sister beating people with her bare hands during the day.
The brains are popping out. Who dares to come up and make trouble just for a bite of food?
Finally, around nine o'clock in the evening, the large army left the villa area, and the remaining supplies were left to be transported back by the people sent by Duan Ran.
After all, Fu Hengyuan did not leave behind the entangled group of refugees. There were always only elites around him. Ordinary people would hinder his speed of shooting.
He rescued these people from dire straits and distributed food and water for free, showing his utmost benevolence and justice.
After traveling east for four or five hours, the convoy stopped again.
It was about time we arrived, and we were already at the boundary of the private base, and we could see a large number of lights on the seaside in the distance.
Their vehicle was stopped by a huge stone roadblock in front of them and dozens of strong men with guns.
There is a wooden sign on the roadside with a crooked message on it: Each person who enters Chenguang Base must hand in 50 kilograms of grain!
Mu Jiu looked at Fu Hengyuan. This condition was obviously set for refugees from outside. How would people like Fu Hengyuan who came to seek business cooperation be treated?
Zhao Yue got out of the car to negotiate with the group of people on behalf of his boss.
To say that Vice Captain Zhao's psychological quality is really good, he was not afraid at all when facing dozens of guns aimed at him.
"We are from the official base, and we came here with sincerity. We want to discuss the freshwater business with your base manager at Chenguang Base."
After he finished speaking, he took off the package he was carrying, took out a cigarette from it, and then showed the remaining five cigarettes in the bag to the person opposite.
"It's a small meeting gift, and I would like to ask you all to introduce me to me, please!"
Zhao Yue moved very slowly, fearing that the people on the opposite side would raise their guns and get shot if he was a little nervous.
Even though he was wearing a body armor, he, Boss Fu, was guarding him in the dark with a sniper rifle.
But he couldn't resist if the person on the other side shot him in the face. That was a fatal place, and the bullets were merciless.
He placed the cigarette bag on the ground nearby, then backed away a lot, waiting for someone from the opposite side to come and pick it up.
Things like tobacco and alcohol are almost considered hard currency in the apocalypse, especially in places like Chenguang Base with a superior material base, which are easier to use.
The leader of the team on the opposite side winked at his younger brother and asked him to come over and take the bag that Zhao Yue had placed on the ground.
Sure enough, after checking the cigarettes in the bag, the people on the opposite side collected their guns.
But he did not let him go directly. The leader said to Zhao Yue:
“We can talk about business, but the team can’t go in!
Those big gadgets are like tanks. Who knows if you are sincerely doing water business, or if you are here to sneak attack and flatten our base!
Also, if you want to get in, you have to pay a certain amount of food to pass through several people before you can get in. This is a rule, and those cigarettes just now have to be offered as an offering. "
Fu Hengyuan turned back to Mu Jiu and said:
"Then let the convoy wait outside. I guess when everyone goes in, those people will start to open their mouths.
Anyway, these armored vehicles cannot be broken through from the outside, and materials are safer than people.
I took a few people and a small amount of dried fruits and vegetables in to negotiate terms with their base commander in person, while Zhao Yue stayed here to command the large forces.
If you have any questions, just rush in! "
Fu Hengyuan said the last sentence with a smile, just like he had been in danger several times before, as if it was a tacit understanding between him and Mu Jiu.
"I'll take Gu Yang and Gu Nuan in with you. We're better at negotiating deals on agricultural products!" Mu Jiu stood up and said.
It’s not that she sent him to his door to die.
Mainly because during the confrontation between the two sides just now, Mu Jiu had already inspected the entire base not far away through the space teleportation mirror.
This base has more supplies than expected!
In a base with a population of 20, the warehouse here can feed everyone here for 2 years just with food and other food!
Not to mention the invincible water resources here and the inexhaustible marine fisheries. Hundreds of cruise ships and fishing boats of various sizes are lined up in the dark port.
And the neatly arranged fresh water filtration system located on the side of the base looks too spectacular!
(the image is only a reference)
It wasn't Mu Jiuchang's opponent's ambition, but in terms of material strength, this Chenguang base far exceeded the official base.
Probably because it relies on the sea to eat, it has been able to develop and grow to its present appearance in more than four years. The situation inside is more complicated than imagined.
The weapons arsenal of this base is not simple. Not only does it have a considerable number of firearms, but it also has many heavy weapons, such as turrets.
Mu Jiu felt that if the official base could recruit this private base and turn it into an official affiliated base, it would definitely be a good help.
But the idea has little practicality.
After all, judging by the stubbornness of the old men at the top of the official hierarchy, any boss of a private base who is willing to condescend to them will have his bones chewed to pieces.
Fu Hengyuan only thought about Mu Jiu for two seconds before agreeing.
With Mu Jiu around, he would indeed feel more confident about this matter. As for why, he couldn't explain it clearly, it was just a manly feeling.
