Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu looked at the car below the wall and saw Chen Er getting out of the car. He then said to Xiao Jun beside him, ”Let him come in and talk.”

”Huh???” Xiao Jun responded in surprise.

”Let him come in and talk. Hide what’s needed to be hidden, and search who needs to be searched.” Li Yu repeated, reminding him of what needed to be done.

Xiao Jun suddenly understood, also feeling that it was quite tiring to shout from a distance every time.

He nodded and said, ”Alright.”

”Dong Tai, go cover the mortars and heavy guns. Also, hide some of the important items.”

”Zuo Ruxue, you guys will search them later. They’re not allowed to bring any weapons inside.”

”Okay,” Zuo Ruxue and Dong Tai responded in unison.

Xiao Jun checked the time, realizing it was only five minutes till twelve. He then shouted to Chen Er outside, ”You guys can come in and talk now!”

?

Chen Er also had a question mark in his mind.

In this post-apocalyptic world, going into someone else’s base, it wasn’t just about whether one wanted to take the risk, but would the other party allow a stranger to enter?

Previously, they had always communicated by shouting at each other from a distance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the helicopter arrived, they direct him to come in and talk?

However, this was a good thing for Chen Er.

On one hand, he could observe Oil City’s capabilities up close. On the other, it also demonstrated Oil City’s trust in him.

The negotiation for cooperation might very well succeed.

Hence, without any hesitation, Chen Er said, ”Alright, we’ll come in and talk. It’ll be good to chat up close.”

After saying that, he instructed the driver to drive towards Oil City’s main gate.

Screech—

The main gate of Oil City opened.

Chen Er got out of the car and said to the driver, ”You wait for me outside here.”

The subordinate, a bit worried, said, ”Captain, can you manage alone in there?”

Chen Er nodded and smiled, ”Of course, it’s fine. Just wait here for me.”

After saying this, he prepared to enter the gate.

As if remembering something, he quickly removed the knife from his thigh, placed it in the car, after checking himself thoroughly, he felt assured. Then, carrying a box, he boldly walked towards Oil City’s gate.

A small door within Oil City’s gate was opened.

Chen Er entered through the small door.

Upon entering, the first thing that caught his eye were several off-road vehicles parked on the left front, while a straight passageway lay in the center.

....

”Chen Er, welcome inside. But we have a rule here, for safety reasons, any foreign personnel must undergo a check,” Xiao Jun walked over and said to him.

Looking at Xiao Jun with a square face, robust build, Chen Er smiled and said, ”Naturally, I didn’t expect the privilege of coming inside. It’s right and appropriate to have a check.”

As he spoke, he then put down the box in his hand, extended his arms, allowing Zuo Ruxue and the others to conduct a check.

The box was also opened for inspection, mainly containing antibiotics and other drugs.

After a thorough check found no issues, Zuo Ruxue nodded towards Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun waved his hand and led Chen Er to a makeshift small shed beside the gate.

Some of Oil City’s more important arrangements and items were hidden away.

Just standing at the gate, not much information could be seen.

Now chatting in the shed, the outside situation was even less visible.

”Sit down,” Xiao Jun gestured for him to sit, and then asked a subordinate to give him a glass of water.

”Xiao Jun, I just saw a helicopter flying over what seems to be your base. May I ask—?” Chen Er coughed lightly and inquired as if casually.

Xiao Jun smiled and nodded, ”Frankly speaking, Oil City is just one of our subordinate bases, merely responsible for oil production.

Our headquarters is called Big Camphor Tree. Upon hearing of your visit, the leader from our headquarters specially flew over.”

Chen Er felt his heart storming with astonishment.

Indeed!

Indeed, there’s someone behind Oil City.

Never thought that his arrival would attract the leader from behind Oil City.

So he asked, ”May I know where the leader of Big Camphor Tree Base is now, as you mentioned?”

As soon as the words left his mouth.

The door to the temporary shed was lifted by a hand.

In came a spirited, somewhat handsome young man.

Xiao Jun and the others inside the shed immediately stood up.

Chen Er was puzzled, thinking to himself if this young man was the leader.

No way. He was too young!

Just looking at Xiao Jun and his men exuded a sense of ferocity.

As the person behind Oil City, how could he be so young!

However, having reached this point, he was a highly perceptive person. Seeing Xiao Jun stand up, he hurriedly stood up as well.

”This is our leader from headquarters, Director Li.”

”This is Captain Chen from Southern Paradise.”

Li Yu smiled, took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Chen Er.

”Hello.”

”Hello.”

Chen Er let go of his hand, thinking to himself:

What a damn strong grip.

Li Yu actually didn’t apply any force, it was just a habitual handshake, but his strength was overwhelming.

”Please sit. Don’t be overly polite, go on with your conversation. I’ll just listen in.”

Li Yu smiled at Chen Er.

As Li Yu moved closer, Chen Er assessed Li Yu from top to bottom.

His first impression was that Li Yu was handsome and young.

The next impression was that he felt very composed and steady.

Though smiling, for some reason, the smile felt as if facing a fierce tiger.

Similar to the tension felt with Mr. Hu.

No, it was even stronger.

Li Yu gave him an incredibly strong sense of danger, as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a pair of hands.

Yet this Director Li still smiled as he did so.

It gave him a bizarre sense of conflict.

Xiao Jun glanced at Li Yu, seemingly with an inquiring look, and said to Li Yu, ”Director Li, shall I begin?”

Li Yu smiled and replied, ”Yes, continue your discussion.”

After saying that, he began operating his phone.

Having the home advantage, even with Director Li present, Xiao Jun felt more relaxed.

”Captain Chen, what specific cooperation methods and content are you suggesting?” Xiao Jun asked.

Being from a military background, he wasn’t fond of beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

Chen Er, through these interactions, knew Xiao Jun’s straightforward nature.

Thus, he didn’t beat around the bush either, saying directly:

”Currently, we want to exchange antibiotics, painkillers, vitamins... these medicines for your oil.

In the future, our base can produce salt and sugar in small quantities and possibly some other items, which can all be traded.”

Upon hearing about salt and sugar, Xiao Jun was slightly pleased.

These were needed by the Big Camphor Tree Base.

So he said, ”Not bad, no need to wait for the future. Include your salt and sugar in this round of cooperation options.”

Upon hearing this from Xiao Jun, Chen Er recalled the authority granted by Mr. Hu.

After some hesitation, he said with some difficulty:

”There’s no problem, except that our salt and sugar production is not much, the tradeable quantity is a bit small.”

Xiao Jun heard this and chuckled, ”No worries. Shouldn’t there be a calculation method for those antibiotics and such?”

Hearing Xiao Jun mention this initiative, Chen Er tentatively proposed an exchange ratio.

Xiao Jun immediately shook his head and said, ”No way, that’s too little.”

Chen Er showed a troubled expression and raised the offer slightly.

Xiao Jun glanced at Li Yu’s expression, but Li Yu was still focused on his phone.

So he said again, ”No, quite frankly, our oil is not sufficient either.”

Chen Er smiled wryly, ”That’s already quite a lot. The volume of our medicines isn’t large, how can you compare this by volume?”

Xiao Jun insisted on the earlier number.

A carload of medicine, exchanging for six carloads of oil.

It’s important to know that one carload of medicine could practically fill a small pharmacy with pharmaceuticals.

Whereas six carloads of oil, calculating by an eight-ton load, amount to a mere forty-eight tons of oil.

In the post-apocalyptic world, that carload of medicine could easily exchange for hundreds of carloads of oil.

Especially some precious medicines, it’s uncomparable by value exchange alone.
