The people of China all had their own traditions. Historically, bandits like Song Jiang and Zheng Zhilong who had created a great situation would easily accept the government's offer of amnesty in the end. Wen Baoguo had used this method to rope in many factions to his side, and this was also one of the methods that allowed him to contend with Peng Mingde in a short period of time.
Wen Baoguo saw Yue Zhong's rejection, but he did not show any special expression, instead he smiled lightly and said: "Since you're not interested, then forget it. Yue Zhong, I want to purchase 5000 tonnes of rations from you, and I'll use 5000 tonnes of steel to exchange. "
After the apocalypse, steel was also an extremely useful resource, it could be used to create machetes, shields, steel bars, wire nets and other weapons that could be used to deal with zombies.
5000 tonnes of steel was not a small amount. Yue Zhong had a small steel factory in Big Cliff Town, but due to the lack of raw materials, he could only produce another 6000 tonnes of steel before he had to stop production due to the lack of raw materials. It was not like before the apocalypse, where it was easy to buy raw materials to forge steel.
However, humans were able to surpass other life forms and become the rulers of the world because of their intelligence. The cars that could not be driven due to fuel issues were all dismantled by Guo Yu, and the key parts were preserved, while the rest were melted down to smelt steel. Hence, Yue Zhong's demand for steel was not that urgent.
Yue Zhong replied without batting an eyelid: "I can sell 5000 tonnes of rations to you, but I need you to use Survivor Coins, equipment from the God and Devil System, ammunition, machinery, cotton, sulphuric acid and saltpeter in exchange."
The God and Devil System was the root of all enhancements, with the equipment, Yue Zhong could quickly build up an army of Enhancers. Although it could not be said to be invincible, but after their enhancements, they had a physique that surpassed ordinary people, and could withstand the harsher training. This would allow them to become even more tyrannical soldiers.
Wen Baoguo looked at Yue Zhong, and his eyes narrowed slightly, he could tell that this young man in front of him was not easy to fool. The resources that Yue Zhong wanted were also what SY County's survivor camp lacked, and even if he had them, he would not easily hand them over to Yue Zhong.
Wen Baoguo squinted his eyes and said slowly: "I have some Survivor Coins here, how about 10 Survivor Coins for a ton of rations?"
Experts equipped with God and Devil System equipment could obtain some Survivor Coins after killing zombies and mutated beasts. However, without a Novice Village, those Survivor Coins were useless. Wen Baoguo had over 15,000 Survivor Coins, but he had no use for them.
Yue shook his head and said: "1 Survival Coin can be exchanged for 1 jin of food. This time, I've brought 5,000 tonnes of rations to SY County for a big purchase. Regardless of who it is, as long as they can bring out goods that I'm satisfied with, I can sell them the rations. But I can only sell 5,000 tons of grain. I don't have any more. "
Rations were the most precious resource in this apocalyptic world. Yue Zhong had opened 2 huge granaries, and searched everywhere for resources, yet he only had 170,000 tonnes of rations. He was willing to bring out 5,000 tonnes of rations to SY County to purchase supplies, that was already a huge sum, he would not sell it off so easily.
The last time Yue Zhong had exchanged 3000 tonnes of rations for 300 jin of gold, it was because he had to concentrate his forces to quell the rebellion. Furthermore, at that time, Yue Zhong's strength was truly lacking, hence he chose to compromise.
Now that Yue Zhong's 2 troops had joined forces, he had the might of 7 battalions, and his strength was no longer the same as before. His confidence was naturally greater, and his words were more unyielding.
Regardless of whether it was before or after the apocalypse, those with strength would naturally be unyielding. Regardless of whether it was between countries or between organizations, this was a universal rule of conduct.
This time, Yue Zhong had only brought out 5,000 tonnes of rations. On one hand, he was not willing to sell out his precious rations, on the other hand, he harbored ill intentions, and wanted to cause the various powers in SY County to fight amongst themselves.
Wen Baoguo looked at Yue Zhong and laughed lightly: "Such concrete matters, let's leave it to the people below to discuss! This time, I've come to see you, is to see how a hero who had saved over 10,000 survivors from the zombies can be nurtured. This time, you truly live up to your reputation. Out of these 5,000 tonnes of rations, I hope to obtain a share of 1,000 tonnes. "
Wen Baoguo was not an expert in negotiations, but his subordinates were. As long as he could establish a connection with Yue Zhong, he would naturally have his subordinates to handle the negotiations.
Yue Zhong also revealed a warm smile towards Wen Baoguo, but he spoke with incomparable determination: "I'm willing to personally gift you 1 tonne of rations, as a token of our friendship. At the same time, as long as you can provide us with the goods we need, it's not a problem to sell all 5,000 tonnes of rations to you. "
Wen Baoguo saw that Yue Zhong was watertight, and had no intentions of relenting, so he did not continue to pester him. Instead, he smiled and said: "Yue Zhong, you've come from afar, you should rest well. Let's put this matter aside for now, I hope you have a good night tonight. "
"Goodbye!" Yue Zhong smiled at Wen Baoguo, and stood up to leave.
After Yue Zhong left, Wen Baoguo squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, before picking up a stack of documents to look through. Within the stack of documents, there were records of Yue Zhong's life.
SY County's government was in charge, when they sent a group of people into Yue Zhong's territory, they began to gather a huge amount of information. As the leader of the faction, Yue Zhong was even more important, and the information about him was quickly turned into a stack of documents, landing in the hands of the upper echelons of SY County.
"Pity! Pity! I missed the best opportunity to subdue him! " Wen Baoguo looked at the records of Yue Zhong and his subordinates being forced out of Qing Yuan County by the Ice King Association, and lightly sighed.
This was a crucial turning point for Yue Zhong. Before this, if Chen Jianfeng had directly used a high position to recruit Yue Zhong, who knows, Yue Zhong might have become a valiant general in Qing Yuan County. It was a pity that the moment Yue Zhong was forced out of Qing Yuan County, and started to stand on his own, there was no longer any possibility of surrendering to the government.
Soon, night fell, and a number of well-dressed high-ranking officials and dignitaries arrived at the villa.
At the location of the banquet, countless luxurious crystal lamps flickered brightly, illuminating the entire hall. A number of well-dressed men and women held red wine in their hands as they elegantly talked about the interesting happenings in the city. A number of handsome waiters and beautiful maids carried all sorts of famous wines as they shuttled through the banquet.
On both sides of the banquet, there were all sorts of exquisite desserts, delicious freshwater seafood, young Mutant Vegetables, Mutant Beast meat and all sorts of delicacies. It did not look like the atmosphere of the apocalypse at all.
Right at this time, a group of people dressed in military uniforms, samurai uniforms, evening gowns, suits, white shirts and jeans walked into the banquet hall.
"Truly a bunch of country bumpkins who haven't seen the world!" This group of people who did not seem to fit in with the banquet attracted the attention of countless people, and many of the well-dressed men and women had a look of ridicule in their eyes.
This group of people who were receiving the cold glances of others were Yue Zhong's group.
Within Yue Zhong's Special Combat Forces, there was a complicated mix of people. There was Ji Qingwu, who had received a good upbringing, but always acted independently. There was also Tong Xiaoyun, who came from an ordinary family. There was also Yao Yao, who liked to wear military uniforms and was rebellious. There were also 2 migrant workers from before the apocalypse, and a nouveau riche. All sorts of people gathered within the Special Combat Forces, naturally making them unique.
The Special Combat Forces would only wear military uniforms when they were on a mission. Normally, they would wear whatever they liked. They were the strongest group of soldiers within Yue Zhong's troops, and had their own personalities and pride.
"So many delicious things!!" When the few Special Combat Forces soldiers saw the various delicacies, their eyes lit up, and they quickly rushed over, wolfing down the food.
The Special Combat Forces had always been the best in Yue Zhong's troops, but the opportunity to eat and drink to their heart's content at such a banquet was rare. In this post-apocalyptic world, there weren't many opportunities to indulge in such delicacies.
When the few Special Combat Forces soldiers made their move, the rest of the Special Combat Forces soldiers also did not remain idle, as they quickly pounced towards the delicacies, grabbing them and stuffing them into their mouths, as though they were the incarnations of evil spirits.
Yao Yao activated her Agility-based Evolver ability, and in a blink of an eye, 3 plates of cake, 4 fishes and 2 fat crabs were gathered together by her. She swallowed a huge piece of cake in one gulp, and glared at the rest of the Special Combat Forces like a leopard protecting its prey.
Other than Gu Zhixing, Ji Qingwu, Bai He and a few other Special Combat Forces members, the rest of the Special Combat Forces soldiers also rushed forward, snatching the food, as though they were the incarnations of evil spirits.
"What a disgrace!" Yue Zhong looked at the members of the Special Combat Forces, and sighed softly. Without batting an eyelid, he directly snatched a plate of cake that had just been served, and sliced off a slice of the cream cake as he began to enjoy it.
Towards the Special Combat Forces, as long as they did not screw up at crucial times, Yue Zhong would not care about them.
Those well-dressed upper-class people of SY County watched as Yue Zhong led the Special Combat Forces to devour the food ravenously, and their eyes turned red with envy.
This was a post-apocalyptic world where resources were scarce. Only Wen Baoguo and Peng Mingde could host such an extravagant banquet. Even for Wen Baoguo who was the 2nd most important person in the government, if he wanted to host such a banquet twice a month, it would already be considered impressive. Ordinary powers would not be able to host such a banquet.
Unlike before the apocalypse, many of the well-dressed people of SY County who attended this banquet had the thought of eating their fill. However, because of their pride, they could only act courteously and courteously. Even when they took the delicacies, they only took a small portion, to show their elegance.
"How can you guys be like this? It's too unsightly! " Wen Peishan, who was dressed in a red low-cut evening gown, her teeth pearly white, and her hair tied up in a pink bun, came up to Yue Zhong's side and questioned him unhappily.
"Open your mouth!" Yue Zhong cut a piece of cream cake, and used a fork to stick it in front of Tong Xiaoyun's cherry lips, as he grinned and replied.
Tong Xiaoyun's face flushed red, as she swallowed the cake in one mouthful, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
"What's unsightly about it? Miss Wen? "Yue Zhong was in a good mood, as he turned to look at Wen Peishan.
Beside Wen Peishan, there were already 6 female friends of different ages. Out of these 6 female friends, 4 of them looked extremely ordinary, while the other 2 were beauties. One of the beauties had a baby face, and a petite figure. Her skin was snow white, and she looked extremely cute. Her eyes were clear as well. The other beauty had a tall and sexy figure, her skin was snow white, but there was a hint of rebelliousness in her eyes.
Wen Peishan was a little angry as she said: "If you guys eat and drink like this, and finish all the food, then the others won't have anything to eat."
Yue Zhong looked at Wen Peishan and said indifferently: "This banquet should be a buffet! There's nothing wrong with us eating. If they want to eat, then come and get it themselves. If the food isn't enough, and they can't eat, then it's because your family didn't prepare enough. "
"You're shameless!" Wen Peishan was so enraged that her face turned red, she had never seen such a shameless person, running to someone else's banquet to eat and drink to his heart's content, and even scolding the host for not preparing enough food.
Right at this time, a handsome young man in a suit holding a wine glass walked in front of Yue Zhong, as he looked at Yue Zhong arrogantly and said coldly: "Where did you come from, country bumpkin? This isn't a place for country bumpkins like you who don't understand etiquette to come! Get the hell out of here! "
Wen Peishan looked at the suave looking young man with a strong background and frowned. This young man was called Lu Chenguang! He was the 2nd Young Master of SY County's Lu Family, and was arrogant and despotic, currently trying his best to woo her. This time, it was obvious that he was here to show off his existence.
A few young masters followed behind Lu Chenguang, as they looked at Yue Zhong, their faces filled with a cold smile. They wanted to join hands and ruthlessly slap Yue Zhong's face. Who asked Yue Zhong to have a few beauties by his side, and even caused the princess of SY County, Wen Peishan, to tremble in anger.
The petite beauty and the rebellious beauty also looked towards Yue Zhong's direction, wanting to see how he would deal with it.
Yue Zhong looked at Lu Chenguang coldly and said: "Kneel!"
When Lu Chenguang heard Yue Zhong's words, his eyes flashed with a cold glint, as he sent a slap towards Yue Zhong: "Kneel?? What big words you have!! You actually want me to kneel, seems like if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has. " If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
