Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 42 Undercurrent
After the war, the company employees were still a little uneasy, as they had never seen such a scene before.

Zhou Yi briefly explained the situation to them.

"...In short, the sea pirates who launched a violent attack on our company have been sunk by the Emerald City, and the company has restored everything to normal."

Ajin and Afeng were the simplest. After receiving the notice, they felt relieved and went back to work.

Gong Zheng privately found Zhou Yi and said, "Chairman, the Knight Group is the largest and most concentrated armed organization of human enhancers. They failed this time, but they will not give up."

"When I was an apprentice, I heard that the Knights of the Dead Sea have the largest number of warships in the Knights' Order. They are active on the Dead Sea all year round and may retaliate later, which may become a long-term hidden danger."

What he was worried about was the thousand-day guard against thieves.

If the company's defenses are temporarily weakened or its forces are dispersed, it may be attacked again by the Death Sea Knights.

The passive situation will exist for a long time.

However, in Zhou Yi's opinion, this way of solving the problem is wrong.

Zhou Yi told Gong Zheng: "The company will not choose to defend. We will take the initiative to strengthen our control over the Dead Sea area and expand our business scope. In the long run, we will definitely enter the Dead Sea."

"If the Knights of the Dead Sea want to fight, we will fight with them. We will fight as long as they want until we win completely. I will sink as many warships as they dare to send."

Zhou Yi looked out at the vast sea of fog in the distance, waved his hand and said, "Reason and order are all fought for."

Ten years of underwater battles made him very clear about confrontation.

You must not run away from the fight.

The more afraid you are, the more likely you are to be restrained and forced to make mistakes, and the easier it is for you to be suppressed.

Only by daring to fight tough battles and being able to fight tough battles can we put pressure on the enemy and make them dare not act rashly.

Zhou Yi's strategy is that if there are few ships of the Dead Sea Knights, then he will bomb and kill as many as possible, and if there are many ships, then he will retreat to the land and fight guerrilla warfare. The nearby mushroom forest, death dunes, and oasis belts are all good places for ambushes.

As long as the enemy goes ashore and penetrates deep into the area, with the Red Falcon's field of vision, the Samurai Crab Army can unleash their true power in hand-to-hand combat.

If that doesn't work, go back to the bottom of the sea, continue recruiting crab soldiers, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

come on.

See who can outlast whom.

Zhou Yi's words made Gong Zheng's eyes look a little dazed and struggling.

He finally sighed, "You're right, this is the mentality of a strong person. I've been a weak person for too many years, always thinking about how to protect myself and how not to offend others... In the end, I became more and more timid, and even when I was punished for something I didn't do, I didn't dare to argue."

"Thinking about it now, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Gong Zheng said seriously: "I believe that with you, the Wasteland Development Company, and Emerald City, this place will definitely get better and better! As long as it becomes strong enough, the Knights of the Dead Sea will have to come and negotiate with us respectfully."

Zhou Yi smiled and patted the young man on crutches on the shoulder: "That's right."

"Chairman, I'm going to sort out and test the equipment in the company's inventory first."

"Go."

After being busy for most of the night, Zhou Yi returned to his home on the 31st floor and fell asleep for a while.

The patrolling Night Claw came to report that someone was visiting.

Zhou Yi looked at the three people standing outside the door, covered his mouth and yawned: "So you know each other. And who is this person?"

The three people outside were Cui Mao, a knight from Tianjin carrying a square backpack, Qian Su, a weapons dealer wearing red round glasses, and a strange boy carrying a large box on his back.

Cui Mao greeted with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, Boss Qiansu and I met on the road, so we came here together."

He pointed at the young man beside him and introduced him: "He is my knight guard, Chen Hao."

Chen Hao bowed politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yi also nodded to him: "Hello."

He had learned from Cui Mao before that there were actually not many official knights in the Knights Templar. The largest number of them were logistics personnel and knight guards.

The Knight Guard is the assistant of the official Knight.

They usually have undergone some combat training, mastered the necessary basic knowledge, and will follow the knights to learn, participate in combat and pursuit, and follow the knights' orders on a daily basis. The relationship between knights and guards is somewhat similar to that between police and auxiliary police.

The difference is that the guard has a closer relationship with the knight, almost like a master-apprentice relationship, and can be promoted to official knights.

Cui Mao suddenly looked at the girl next to him: "Didn't Boss Qiansu want to discuss something important with Mr. Zhou?"

"Correct."

Qian Su smiled and said, "This is a commercial secret. I need to talk to Mr. Zhou alone. Please step aside for the time being."

Cui Mao took Chen Hao out the door and closed it.

Night Claw also tactfully stood guard outside the door.

Zhou Yi and Qian Su were left in the room.

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa: "Sit down, tell me what's going on."

The girl raised her head and looked through the lens: "Will Mr. Zhou stay here for a long time?" Zhou Yi nodded: "If there is no force majeure, the Wasteland Development Company will operate here for a long time."

"In that case, does Mr. Zhou need any business services?"

Her words really hit the nail on the head.

Previously, Zhou Yi carried out a concentrated extermination of the spiny antlions in the Death Dunes in order to open up the road into the Sand Port and lay the foundation for future trade.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Without convenient transportation, it is difficult for people and goods to move around.

The Red Falcon purchased a machine stack and connected to the Recursive City, which actually provided an online channel.

However, Zhou Yi is still trying to figure out the specific situation over there.

According to Hong Jian, a local resident, transportation in Recursion City is not only expensive, but also requires a long waiting time. Because the city is short of transportation machinery and life, it is best to go to the local area to do business.

Zhou Yi asked the girl with glasses: "How much is the charge?"

"Here is the product catalogue, please take a look."

Qiansu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhou Yi took it and looked at it. The front of the list listed the items for sale, the back listed the items for purchase, and the pricing method for transportation was also written below.

Normal delivery is free, but the delivery time can only be confirmed within one month.

Expedited delivery costs 10 yuan per shipment, and overweight shipments will be charged double the shipping fee.

Qiansu sold himself two sets of light blockers and charged according to this standard.

It is stated above that delivery service is not provided to special areas including extremely remote areas, the Dead Sea danger zone, areas of war and natural disasters, etc.

Zhou Yi glanced at the outline and then turned his gaze back to the beginning of the list.

"Qiansu Store, Mission Accomplished"

Using "two partners" as the promotional slogan makes it clear at a glance.

"If there is something not on the list, I can also go to other merchants to buy it. Please don't worry about that. It just takes some time to adjust the goods and turn them around."

Qiansu was more proactive this time than last time, and showed more restraint and service spirit.

Zhou Yi thought, it seems that sinking the Organ has worked this time.

He said, "Help me process some of these things and see how much you can sell them for."

Zhou Yi took Qian Su to the container-type warehouse next door.

Inside were a damaged quad bike, a flintlock pistol, a sniper rifle with a scope, and a metal spear whose name and usage were unknown.

After a quick inspection, Qiansu gave quotes one by one.

"Damaged modified four-wheeler, 2 light species."

"Knight's musket, muzzle-loading pistol, 1 light seed."

"Knight's musket, medium and long range musket, 12 light species."

"Spear of Chaos, 9% new, 70 light seeds."

Zhou Yi sold all the spoils.

Cash out first.

85 light seeds are put into bags.

It eased his current financial difficulties a little.

After the transaction was completed, Qian Su said, "I will go to Tianjin to purchase goods soon. It will take about a month for me to come back. I will come here again then. If Mr. Zhou needs anything, you can also place an order with me first."

Zhou Yi thought about it and realized that he didn’t need anything.

Three sets of light blockers are sufficient for now.

The girl moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just smiled and said goodbye: "Then I will go to buy some goods first. I wish Mr. Zhou all the best."

Qiansu never mentioned the Dead Sea Knight since she arrived and left, as if she had forgotten about it.

After she drove away in the truck, Cui Mao dismissed his knight guards and said seriously, "Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you know that this Qiansu boss is a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Chisu said this when she introduced herself.

“She is one of the agents of the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Cui Mao whispered, "After returning to Shagang, I found out through the squadron that Ji Chang is a Xingshu voter. He was suspected of multiple cases of arms smuggling, contraband sales, intentional injury and death in several cities, but he was not arrested and imprisoned because of this identity."

"The Kingdom of Heaven and Xingshu have been in a long-term confrontation, and now the relationship is becoming increasingly tense. That Qiansu may want to use you to deal with Ji Chang..."

Zhou Yi handed him a can of Coke and asked him to speak slowly.
