Koro Island is located at the southernmost tip of the Pannu Islands and is the main island. To the northwest is the Philippines, to the southwest is New Guinea and Australia, and to the south is New Zealand.
It is home to the country's only airport. At the same time, at the southernmost tip of the island is the country's only deep-water port, built by Johnny International at a cost of millions of dollars.
Generally speaking, such large deep-water ports will be surrounded by a circle of manufacturing factories. However, this common sense obviously does not apply to the Pannu Islands, whose economy is mainly based on fishing and planting.
Next to this deep-water port, three warehouses stand alone.
A brown-skinned local man was squatting beside the outermost warehouse, holding sugar cane in his mouth, looking at the door.
His name is Kasan and he is a native of the Pannu Islands. Although he doesn't have a high degree of education, he can still do the job of janitor. His job every day was to squat at the door of the warehouse and watch the phone. Occasionally, he would help when he needed to unload the goods, and he would nibble sugar cane when he was bored.
Seeing five Santana vehicles parked at the door, the young man glanced at them with envy, immediately dropped the sugar cane in his hand and rushed towards them.
"Xinghuan Trading, this is my company here." After getting off the car, Jiang Chen introduced Ivan with a smile.
Although it is now just a shell company with only one janitor and fully managed business.
"Star Ring? What a strange name." Looking at the big characters on the big warehouse, Ivan asked casually.
While chatting, the gatekeeper Kasang had already walked up to the two of them and said to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Hey, boss, what brought you here?"
Jiang Chen arrived at the Pannu Islands two days ago, but he has been busy with other things, so he hasn't visited the warehouse yet. Kasang was also very surprised to see his boss coming in person.
"It's nothing, just help me open the warehouse door."
"Which warehouse?"
"Warehouse No. 3."
"Yes, yes!" Kasan nodded and bowed in response, quickly took out the key, ran over and opened the iron door.
Kasang was sent outside the door to stay. Jiang Chen greeted Ivan and others into the warehouse and walked to a container in the corner.
Open the box and there is a row of automatic rifles inside.
They are not the Ripper rifles that Jiang Chen brought back from the apocalypse. These are M-series assault rifles that are very common in the arms market. And they are all for civilian use.
"Mission?" Ivan said solemnly.
Hearing this, the fourteen people behind him also stood at attention in a row, waiting for Jiang Chen's instructions.
"Don't be nervous. It's still some time before the main event starts. This next task is just a warm-up." Jiang Chen waved his hand. Tell them not to be nervous.
After clearing his throat, Jiang Chen pointed at the weapons in the box and continued.
"Considering that the situation in Pannu is gradually deteriorating, during this period, the security of this warehouse will be handed over to you. There are 15 gun licenses in the box, which I applied to the Pannu authorities through special channels. Please write your The name will be used. For those who try to break into the warehouse, the first warning shot will be fired, and the second shot will be authorized."
Although the Liberal Party stated that it would try to avoid exchanges of fire near Jiang Chen's industry during the uprising, there was no guarantee that looting mobs would not try to break into the warehouse to get oil and water.
"Yes!" Ivan said forcefully, standing at attention.
He had no objection to Jiang Chen's order. The same goes for the warrior standing behind him.
Jiang Chen nodded, feeling very satisfied with the veteran's momentum.
"There are materials for building barracks in the warehouse. In short, the safety here is left to you."
"We'll cover it." Ivan grinned.
After speaking, he turned around neatly, looked at his brothers, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Did you understand the mission?"
"Understood!" Fourteen voices responded in unison, exploding like thunder.
"Start working!"
"Yes, sir!"
... ...
Seeing Jiang Chen come out of the warehouse, Kasang paced over timidly.
"Boss, who are they?"
Naturally, he heard all the sounds in the warehouse just now.
"The security guard I hired. You don't need to worry about it. Do what you should do normally. Don't poke your head in the air, don't talk too much. You just need to remember these two points." Jiang Chen said casually.
Swallowed. Kasan nodded desperately and answered with difficulty.
"Um."
He just wanted to find a job to hang out, but he didn't want to get into any trouble. Just squatting at the door and chewing sugar cane in a daze every day, I can get a salary of 10 US dollars, which is like a dream.
Knowing that this young man would not ask for trouble, Jiang Chen didn't waste any time on the issue of confidentiality.
"Give me the spare key to the warehouse."
Kasan quickly took off a bunch of keys from his waist. Then it was handed over to Jiang Chen.
"You can leave work early today." After taking the key, Jiang Chen patted his shoulder twice and said.
"Yes." He nodded quickly and replied. Kasang politely didn't ask any questions. He picked up the unfinished sugar cane from the door and went home.
Watching Kasang walk away, Jiang Chen turned and walked towards Warehouse No. 1.
After unlocking the door, pulling apart the iron plates, and looking at the goods in the warehouse, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
The entire five hundred square meters of space was a bit crowded with all kinds of boxes.
There are dairy products imported from Australian ranches, vacuum-packed bacon, and various types of processed cans shipped from Xinglong Food Processing Factory. Ten large freezers were filled with fresh meats such as pork, beef, and mutton, and piles of rice packed in sacks formed a mountain.
"Good guy, judging from the average stacking height of two to three meters, this batch of grain must be at least thousands of tons." Looking at the mountains of grain, Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Based on one kilogram of grain per person per day, one thousand tons of grain can probably feed 666,600 people for a month. When the population of Block 6 was at its highest, it did not exceed 50,000, and the number of people in Fishbone Base was even smaller. Even if some people were recruited in recent times, there were only more than a thousand people.
Not to mention that the daily consumption for more than half a year has been solved, even the trade issue, this batch of food is more than enough.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen has gone abroad now. If this batch of food disappears in China, there will definitely be problems.
Without starting the moving work immediately, Jiang Chen went out and opened Warehouse No. 2.
Warehouse No. 2 contains salt, which is also scarce in the wasteland.
The salt in Wanghai City in the wasteland is mainly produced by several coastal survivor bases such as Liuding Town, but the output is not high. Due to production conditions, the quality of salt is not very high. Hoarding salt in the country is a crime, but in the volatile Pannu Islands it is not a problem at all.
In addition to boxes of table salt, there are hundreds of beers stacked here, locally sourced subtropical fruits and dried fish.
These supplies are specially customized "three-no products" with no packaging printed on the surface.
In other countries, it may be difficult for such products to go through customs, but in Panu it is less of a hassle. Jiang Chen casually stuffed a few hundred dollars into the customs and solved this non-problem.
After the quantity of materials is confirmed, the next step is to continuously transport them back and forth.
Looking at the piles of supplies, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Damn, there are so many, when will they be moved?" (.)
