Chapter 120 0054. Potential Dangers

Lin Anqi finally left, and in the evening three military vehicles were picked up. Judging from the badges on the car, they all belong to the Air Force.

The person who came to pick him up was a middle-aged man wearing the rank of colonel. Apart from being a little polite to Lin Anqi, that man didn't say a word to civilians like Chen Chong.

It wasn't until Lin Anqi was picked up that people in prison knew how powerful this girl with a starry background was.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Chong went to Linzhou City every day to familiarize himself with the terrain and inquire about news.

The hottest topic recently is the news about the appearance of "grim-faced bats" in the sky.

It is said that it is a giant bat with a devil's face, and its small body is as big as a car. Some people even said they had seen huge bats the size of a house, with one wing more than three meters long.

Chen Chong didn't believe much of the rumors among the people. However, after asking Zhang Fuguang privately, the other party confirmed that this was indeed the case.

Recently, many military and civilian foraging teams have been attacked by this bat. More than thirty food-seeking teams have suffered casualties in the past week.

The whereabouts of four of the teams are still unknown, and the possibility of the entire army being annihilated cannot be ruled out.

Now the entire food-seeking team in Linzhou City is in panic, and many food-seeking teams organized by civilians have announced their disbandment.

This makes Linzhou City, which is already short of food, even more miserable. The exchange ratio between revival coins and grain actually tripled in one week.

"Brother Chong, I'm back."

Chu Chengdong trotted in panting, and Chen Chong handed a glass of water to him:

"How's it going? Have the prices changed today?"

Chu Chengdong took the water glass, drank it down, wiped his mouth, and took out a recording form from his pocket:

"It has changed, and prices have risen again. Now people in slums and industrial and mining areas are holding demonstrations. The relief food in the city has been reduced from two meals a day to one meal a day.

I even took a look and found that even half a catty was not enough for everyone. Sooner or later there will be trouble if this continues. "

Take the price list from the other party’s hand,

A single kilogram of rice has increased to S$800 from S$250 a week ago. As for commodities such as vegetables and fruits, they have disappeared from the market and are now only supplied to high-level people.

"According to Brother Chong's instructions, a few days ago I asked Hu Zheng to go to major banks to keep an eye on me. This morning he told me that the bank entrances were full of people, all going to withdraw money.

Now banks have begun to limit the hours for withdrawing money, and are only open six hours a day. For large amounts, reservations need to be made two days in advance. "

Chen Chong nodded without surprise:

"Prices continue to rise, and everyone wants to take out their money and exchange it for food. This will aggravate the food shortage in the city. Haha, the opportunity is coming faster than I thought."

"Brother Chong? You seem to have expected this. Do you have any big plans?"

Chen Chong smiled: "Go and call Zhao Qing and Zhang Zhigang."

After a while, Zhao Qing and Zhang Zhigang walked in one after another.

"Chief, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Chen Chong waved his hand for the two of them to take their seats.

"Zhao Qing, I give you a task."

Zhao Qing unconsciously sat up straight, raised his chest and looked at Chen Chong.

"Now that many civilian grain-seeking teams have been disbanded, they must have a lot of grain trucks. Trucks with a load of more than five tons can collect as much as they can."

Chu Chengdong and Zhang Zhigang, who were sitting in the audience, looked at each other in confusion.

"Brother Chong, I want to ask why we need so many cars?" Zhao Qing asked nervously.

"I have my own plan for this, and you can just carry it out. It's useless for them to keep those trucks. Weren't you the chief executive of Umbrella's Asia region before? I want to see how good your bargaining skills are.

I'll give you five tons of grain, and the rest is up to you. Once things are done well, the rest of the business will be up to you. "

"Don't worry, Chief Chen, I promise to do it beautifully."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing immediately became excited and wanted to collect the car right away.

Chu Chengdong on the side couldn't sit still. Now that food prices are soaring, people outside are exchanging food for food. This man actually exchanged food for trucks, and the exchange was half of their inventory.

"Brother Chong, are you going out to get food? It's so dangerous outside now. Besides, Hou Ting and the others ran out of food in that town last time. Are you so sure of finding food?"

"Haha, don't worry. If you follow me, I won't let you starve." Chen Chong patted Chu Chengdong on the shoulder, and then looked at Zhang Zhigang:

"Vice Captain Zhang, today you go and see Hou Ting and tell him that we are going to set up a food hunting team and the license needs to be obtained as soon as possible.

Oh, by the way, tell him also that he doesn’t want the dividends from the grain and asks him to get us some guns. "

Hou Ting is quite a righteous person. Last time, more than half of the food in the small town was not finished. Later, they went there again and finally found out.

In order to repay the favor, the other party promised to provide 10 tons of grain as compensation, but now that prices have soared, Chen Chong does not intend to ask for it anymore. It's just a matter of exchanging some guns and doing favors to each other.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Zhang Zhigang didn't ask why. In his opinion, if Chen Chong dared to say this, he would be sure to find food.

After the small meeting, the three of them got busy.

In an open space to the west of the oatmeal field, there are ten wooden target positions.

This was specially reserved by Chen Chong for Wang Hao's daily training.

At this moment, Wang Hao and Valen Ting are training the only few 'team members'. Compared to spending all day in prison counting stars, what I do now is much more interesting.

After Lin Anqi left, Valen Ting also began to learn Daxia Wen. With the teacher Zhao Qing, he also learned some daily greetings.

"Chen, good morning."

Chen Chong responded with a slight smile: "It's good for you too."

Warren Ting tilted her head, put her index finger on her lower lip, and looked like she was thinking hard.

The only greetings taught by Zhao Qing are hello, good morning, good noon, and good evening. What does 'Hello, your father' mean?

Chen Chong did not interrupt their training and strode outside the factory.

In recent days, major labor unions, chambers of commerce, and some civil organizations have begun to move here one after another, and the originally empty and quiet new area has begun to become lively.

Now that the qualification certificates for vehicles and food are being processed, the most critical issue right now is the personnel issue. After much deliberation, Chen Chong decided to go to Gu Qingfang.

She also has many people under her, and they are all workers. They are strong enough to do the work, so she is definitely the best choice.

Chen Chong strode towards the brick factory, but he didn't know that several pairs of eyes hiding in the dark were spying on the oat factory behind him.
