Doomsday Super Merchant
Chapter 65 The Tragic Caravan
With building materials and enough manpower, many things can go smoothly. The rainfall in the wasteland is neither too much nor too little, and there will still be a light rain occasionally. Temporary warehouses built with tents are not a barrier.
It is a good place for rain, so when the brick-making machine was first put into operation, the first thing Zhou Yuanqiang requested was to build several huge warehouses inside the woods of the small oasis to store grain and tobacco.
Tobacco is a treasure, and its appearance will definitely drive people who are addicted to smoking crazy. Many people can skip meals, but they absolutely cannot stop smoking. In this depressing era of the end of the world, cigarettes can help many people relieve their mental stress, and can also
Refreshment is the spiritual food for countless people. Especially men, most of them smoke, which has also created the market existence of cigarettes, which is like a Big Mac.
The attack of the extraterrestrial virus was too sudden. People who fled in a hurry would not take care of these things. Even if they had cigarettes, they only had one or two packs with them. One or two packs, for those who are addicted to smoking
, it only takes half a day to exhaust it, so how can it last for several years? Naturally, in the past few years, except for occasionally finding some in villages, forget about the ones in cities. There are dozens and millions of zombies.
Where the gathering is, who dares to touch this landmine?
Invisibly, cigarettes have definitely become a scarce commodity in the apocalypse.
In the last days, when everything is based on survival, at the beginning, a large amount of land that could be cultivated was used to grow food. Who would care about growing tobacco? After a few years, the settlements where food is tight are still tense.
Only settlements where food is not tight will try to grow tobacco and other crops in small quantities. With such a large amount of land in the Grand Canyon, they dare not plant too much, let alone a place like a wasteland settlement where there is a serious shortage of food?
Of course, after learning these days, Zhou Yuanqiang still knows that in the wasteland settlements, they also grow tobacco, but the amount is pitifully small. It is all specially used by the upper-level officials of the Administration, and no trace of it will leak out.
When the market is outrageous, a pack of hardcover cigarettes can be exchanged for enough food for a week. This shows how far people's desire for cigarettes has reached.
The tobacco in your hand seems to be a huge profit, but it is also a bomb. If it is not handled well, it will bring disaster.
This is the reason why Zhou Yuanqiang is not in a hurry to take action. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't dare. Before he has enough power to protect it, it's better not to expose it. Fortunately, Zhou Yuanqiang has enough food and can recruit a large number of people.
Just as he thought, in one week, the small oasis with only more than a hundred people expanded more than ten times. Even the armed force with only more than ten people also increased thirty times, reaching more than three hundred people.
In the wasteland settlement, except for the administration, other teams rarely have large weapons, and even if they do, they are very few. As long as the wall is built, it means that you have the power to protect yourself. Now that the wall is about to be completed, at a glance,
It's like a straight line stretching into the distance, then bending, surrounding hundreds of acres of land. This posture alone gives people a sense of pride.
Part of these hundreds of acres will be used for accommodation, and the other part, Zhou Yuanqiang's plan, is to build some small factories first, such as stamping factories, etc., so that they can at least manufacture light weapons.
Now Zhou Yuanqiang hates this place a little. Not only is the city far away, there are not many available resources around it. To make weapons, you always need all kinds of steel, right? What about fire weapons? Do you have to rely on yourself to get them from modern times?
This can be done for a short time, but over time, even a fool will discover the problem. But now Zhou Yuanqiang has no way to solve this problem, not to mention, weapons manufacturing and bullet production, but come into contact with wasteland settlement management
The nerve line of the bureau.
Facing them, I am still too weak now to offend this behemoth.
There is a huge market for cut tobacco, that's for sure, but no matter how there is a market, you still need to understand it, so Zhou Yuanqiang decided to go to the wasteland settlement. For a location like a small oasis, of course there will be spies in the settlement.
, but there is no phone or mobile phone, so the transmission of messages can only be completed by relying on an off-road motorcycle. Not only time, but also safe transmission cannot be guaranteed.
Xu Yuhai, who was in charge of intelligence, almost stayed in the wasteland settlement. With the guarantee of Qiu Guorui and others, he successfully obtained the pass and could freely enter and exit the central town. Generally, he rarely returned to the small oasis. After a week, he would
I will only be there one or two nights.
The news we just received is that several caravans from the Grand Canyon have arrived at the wasteland settlement.
Thinking that it has been nearly a week since I came back, it was only a distance of more than 300 kilometers, and it took them a week, which is really unbelievable. But think about it, when they first organized and set off, they expected that
It was a "cup". There was not much market for the wine and food they brought. If the cost of personnel was not deducted, they could make some money. But after calculating the consumption of personnel and bullets, I am afraid that all the money would be lost.
.
The news that Zhou Yuanqiang received was that these caravans were miserable and suffered heavy losses. The food and alcohol they brought could not be sold at a high price in the slowly saturated market in the wasteland settlement.
"Perhaps we can eat their food?" Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it and decided to do it. Isn't what they asked for the perfume and other washing products they brought? For him, they are not worth much.
Moreover, it is easy to get goods from black factories. If you trade with them for grain, you will not suffer any loss.
In the small oasis, everything was in short supply, including cars. Except for trucks, Qiu Guorui's pickup truck was more pleasing to the eye. Of course, Zhou Yuanqiang's choice was only him.
Taking a lot of strength and a few guards with him, he ran towards the settlement.
For the terrain of the wilderness, the price of off-road vehicles is not cheap. The price of a civilian version of an off-road Hummer is enough to shock you. There is no need to think about the military version. Even the Administration only has a few of them.
, how could one or two be missed for you? Especially the off-road military trucks, let alone expect them. The administration keeps a close eye on them. They are specially used to transport oil and salt, and each one has a number and is inspected every day.
No one can figure it out.
"How about bringing a few cars over from Hyundai? Anyway, I have a few million in gold, and I have more than three million left to set up the company. I don't lack the money to buy a Hummer."
But then, Zhou Yuanqiang shook his head again.
If you have one, it won't attract anyone's attention. Bringing several over would be too ostentatious. What's more, your 16 cubic meters of storage space can't hold a Hummer nearly 5 meters long. You want to transport it?
These big guys can only be dismantled or upgrade the ring to two levels, otherwise it is really difficult to do it.
