Chapter 1139 So It’s so Valuable

In the central and western part of the Nut State, near a small town, several military vehicles were patrolling back and forth.

Since a horrific massacre broke out in this town a month ago, the entire town has been under martial law by the Nut State army and no one is allowed to approach.

Engineers from the Nut State worked day and night to build fortifications nearby. They used steel wire mesh and solid fortifications to surround the entire town, turning it into a true military restricted area.

Most of the people don't know this, but the true appearance of this place is no longer a secret to those who are interested.

This is a rust gold mine.

A truck drove out of the mine and passed through several heavily guarded gates.

After many verifications, the command from the front came from the communicator:

"The truck is out, open the door!"

The soldier then opened the heavy door and let the truck drive out.

In front of and behind the truck, there were several chariots escorting and clearing the way.

The truck drove forward, and the dark cargo box was very low-key. If it were a passerby, it might not be possible that there were boxes of newly mined rusty gold hidden inside.

In the driver's seat, a young driver was asking his companion: "Boss, where are we going to transport this thing?"

"You'll know when the time comes." The driver muttered.

"But I heard that the place we transported to has been occupied by monsters, and everyone who entered can't get out... Is this true?"

"..." The driver was silent.

"Boss, don't you know that too?"

"Shut up, don't you think your curiosity..."

Before the driver could finish his sentence, he heard an explosion, and then the world started spinning.

When he woke up from his dizziness, he found that the vehicle was already lying on the ground, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of blood and gun smoke.

"Boom, boom, boom!" the sound of firefights rang out, and the soldiers' shouts were intertwined with the sounds of gunshots and explosions.

The driver turned to look next to him and saw the co-pilot's head hanging down, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Hey, boy! Wake up! Shit!"

The driver struggled to unbuckle the passenger's seat belt, kicked open the shattered front windshield, and climbed out of the car.

Next to them, several gangsters dressed in black rushed over, pointing their guns at them.

"We are just drivers, don't kill us!" The driver was so frightened that he held his head and shouted.

The man hesitated for a moment, then put a gun to the driver's head: "Open the car! Quick!"

"The carriage... is locked from the inside, I can't open it!" The driver was trembling with fear.

"Damn it!" the man cursed.

The sound of firefights around him started again. The driver dragged his companion to the side of the road, shrank to the side, and hugged his head desperately.

It seems like a century has passed.

The roaring explosions and firefights continued. When someone pulled him up, he realized that everything was over.

"Hey, get up!"

He was roughly pulled up and found in front of him a bloody soldier.

There was a mess all around, including dead soldiers and the bodies of looters.

As for his truck, there was a big hole in the side, and thick smoke was billowing from inside.

It seems that these people finally got rid of the truck.

"What's the damage?"

"A box of ore was robbed!"

"One box? How many ores are in it?"

"About ten kilograms."

"So many? Shit! Where did these people come from! Check for me! We must recover the ore!"

Later, a new truck arrived, and more than ten sealed boxes were loaded into the new truck.

That box is really very small, it looks just a little bigger than a handbag.

There is only ten kilograms of ore in an alley.

But the driver knew that what was taken away exceeded 100 million nut coins!

This is definitely a huge sum of money!

Because it contains rusty gold ore!

In the international market, there is currently only one place that can stably supply rust gold, and that is White Wolf City.

The price of rust gold supplied by White Wolf City to the outside world is ten thousand nut coins per gram.

Of course, this is only the official price. In fact, the official rarely sells it to the outside world.

On the black market, the price of one gram of rust gold has been increased several times.

Even so, there is a price but no market.

Even the rusty gold ore that is not so pure is priced at more than 8,000 nut coins in Blackstone.

Especially recently, Mao Xiongzhou has begun to make rumors about crazy purchases of ore, and the price has begun to soar.

But where does the rust gold ore come from?

Now it's only available here in the Nut State.

Almost every day, desperate armed men rob and attack escort convoys.

If you can steal one box, you will be safe for the rest of your life.

If I could grab a few more boxes... I wouldn't have to fight for the next few lifetimes.

…

In Xiajia Village, Daqiang was sitting in a wheelchair watching TV.

Since the release of "The Brewers", Daqiang has become a hero in the village.

Moreover, various media came swarming in and wanted to interview him, which made Da Qiang extremely annoyed.

Fortunately, someone intervened later and these reporters stopped disturbing Da Qiang.

However, Daqiang was unwilling to go out. He used to hate the strange looks from the villagers, but now he couldn't stand the respectful looks from the villagers.

Now, a long time has passed since the release of "The Brewmaster". Although it is still being screened in various places around the world, the numbers are broadcast on the news almost every day, saying how much the box office of "The Brewers" exceeded and how much it broke again somewhere. What record...

However, this world is forgetful. Almost two months have passed, and the outside world's attention to Daqiang has gradually disappeared.

Daqiang can finally live a peaceful life again and go out occasionally.

However, he still stays at home most of the time and has become a veritable homebody.

If it were before, Daqiang himself would not believe that he would become an otaku, but now this is the case.

It was a bit late, Daqiang looked at the time and wanted to go to bed.

Just as he was about to turn off the TV, another piece of news caught his attention: "A few days ago, a robbery occurred in the Nut State... The military escort convoy was attacked... The current loss is unknown..."

"Experts said that what was robbed in the Nut State should be rust gold ore. The current price of rust gold ore on the black market remains high. The official price of rust gold is as high as 10,000 nut coins per gram..."

"Is this thing so valuable?" Daqiang was stunned. He had never paid attention to this before. "By the way, I have to hide my dagger."

Daqiang touched his dagger and put it in the drawer.

After thinking about it, I still felt uneasy and locked it in the cabinet again.

Then I felt relieved.

"Daqiang, have you slept?" Qiang's mother's voice came from outside the door.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Tomorrow your uncle and grandpa's cousin will bring their children to stay for a few days, saying they want to experience rural life. You should get up early tomorrow..."

"I know." Daqiang didn't take it seriously. He lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

The moonlight quietly shines in from the window and shines on Daqiang's table. Next to the photo with his comrades, a rusty ornament is placed there. A giant war dog more than 20 centimeters high tramples on it. At his feet, a little man rushed forward desperately, with a lifelike expression.
