Reborn after the apocalypse, stocked up on supplies but still afraid of not having a goddess?
Chapter 63: Definitely a Conspiracy
Ye Zheng was very surprised by the actions of Hu Kui and others.
Especially the sturdy man, who shouted the loudest and kowtowed to Ye Zheng several times.
There was a bruise on his forehead.
If he hits him again he will be crippled, Ye Zheng doesn't want to lose this powerful general.
Ye Zheng quickly dissuaded him, "Alright, alright! Big guy, take it easy. How can you drink when your face is covered in blood? There's no need for us to do this. We're all friends."
Yes, Ye Zheng felt that they were worthy of being his friends.
The big man grinned and laughed, "I'm a rough man and I can't say nice things. That's what I mean! From now on, my life belongs to the boss!"
Hu Kui also stood up, "Boss, when do you want to kill me, just tell me. If I hesitate for even a second, I'll be an ungrateful beast!"
After hearing what they said, Ye Zheng felt a little embarrassed.
It's true that I saved them, but I was the one who put them in danger. There's no need to do this, right?
"Actually, I saved you for my own good. I needed the information you brought back. The city is very dangerous. You didn't have to go there, but you can't say you don't owe me anything."
To be clear, Ye Zheng didn't want to take advantage of them.
Hu Kui waved his hand, "You are wrong! We ate your food and drank your wine, so we should do your job well. We should report back after we finish the job, and we don't owe each other anything.
Whether it is dangerous or not is our own choice, and you didn't force us.
You saved me, so I owe you my life!"
"Very nice!" Ye Zheng gave him a thumbs up!
"Boss, when will the wine you mentioned be delivered?"
The big guy rubbed his hands and said with a silly smile.
"With the atmosphere like this, how can we not have some wine? I'll drink with you guys today! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
After saying that, Ye Zheng took out two boxes of liquor from his space bracelet and threw them down.
Then he found two foam insulation boxes, stuffed them full of cooked food and cold dishes, and threw them down as well.
"Brothers! Drink up!"
"Dry!"
Ye Zheng didn't feel satisfied staying at the gatehouse, so he simply walked out of the courtyard, sat on the ground with them, drank and chatted, and asked them in detail about their experiences in the past few days.
Three days ago, after obtaining food and equipment from Ye Zheng, they made some preparations and went straight into the city.
On the way to the city, there were a few zombies here and there, but they killed them all. However, they didn't encounter any zombies further into the city.
At first they thought Ye Zheng was exaggerating, until they realized something was wrong on their way back.
Zombies were everywhere, far more than they had expected.
The few people they lost all died on the way back.
This surprised Ye Zheng very much.
Could it be that the zombies tied up outside the courtyard wall were the first batch? Later, all the zombies in the city were infected and transformed by them? What was going on?
With this question in mind, Ye Zheng continued to ask them about the situation in the city.
Now the city has basically stabilized. Each power has tacitly accepted its own sphere of influence and reached a delicate balance.
The most powerful force is a group of people from the public security system and the armed police system, with about 300 people, and they have guns.
The public security and armed police had always had close ties, and later they were both under the command of Qi Yaodong, the director of the Public Security Bureau. Their headquarters was in the original joint operations center, not far from Century Park in the city center.
The second is the He family. They also have guns, but their firepower is slightly inferior to Qi Yaodong's.
The He family monopolized the armed escort business of money transporters in Haicheng, with more than 200 security guards specializing in escorting and 100 shotguns.
Although their firepower is not as good as Qi Yaodong's group, they have more supplies because the He family's market share in grain and oil supply is larger than that of the Cao family.
Counting further down, we have the Cao Group.
They monopolize the city's security labor dispatch business except for escort, and also supply firefighting equipment. There are quite a few of them. Although they don't have guns, they have a lot of equipment.
Although a large amount of supplies were lost before the New Year, Cao Biao still managed to get some during the Spring Festival, which was enough to last for a while.
Regarding the Cao family, they brought back a piece of news that surprised Ye Zheng very much.
In Haicheng, the actual person in charge of the Cao family is Cao Biao's wife Xie Jinfeng. She used to control the Cao Group behind the scenes, but only recently began to show her face.
Ye Zheng used to think that Cao Biao was a bit too incompetent and that there should be a more capable person behind him, but Ye Zheng didn't take this matter seriously.
It seems that the person who controls the Haicheng Cao family behind the scenes is Xie Jinfeng.
The last one is the old rascal Wang Laojiu, people call him Jiu Ye.
He had a lot of people under his command. He originally had a group of gangsters, and later he recruited many people from nearby residents, so the total number of people was almost one thousand.
The rest are just small fish and shrimps, and in the future they will either die or join these forces.
Generally speaking, the urban area of Haicheng is now divided into four parts by Qi Yaodong, the Cao family, the He family and Wang Laojiu.
After understanding this, Ye Zheng continued to ask: "Have you paid attention to the situation of the grain depot? Who controls the grain reserves now?"
Hu Kui looked at Ye Zheng meaningfully and took two gulps of wine.
"Where is the food reserve? It's all gone! We went to jail just to transport the food!"
When they mentioned this, all nine of them looked gloomy.
"What? You took the food away? When did it happen?"
Ye Zheng was shocked.
I had long known that they had escaped from prison, but I didn't expect they were related to the granary.
"Ugh……"
Hu Kui sighed, took another sip of wine, and continued, "We are all drivers of big trucks.
My brothers respect me and call me "big brother", and we keep each other informed when there is work.
Last June, I received a big job that required many large trucks to transport grain.
I didn't think much about it at the time, and the freight was not low. I thought I was capable, so I asked my brothers to take over the job. The grain we transported was the reserve grain from the granary, and it took three months to transport it all to Yuncheng, the provincial capital.
When we delivered the last batch of grain and went to settle the bill, they detained us all!
One by one, they were charged with all sorts of crimes and thrown into prison. It wasn't until the prison lost power that they found an opportunity to escape."
Last June?
Ye Zheng felt his head buzzing, and an unprecedented sense of crisis swept over his body.
Food reserves are strategic material reserves and will never be moved around. This is definitely not an official move, it must be a huge force taking advantage of this crisis to make a big move.
Hu Kui and his gang were secretly controlled, apparently in an effort to block the news.
This force had long known that the end of the world was approaching and had made preparations in advance. All the food was transported to Yuncheng, so the base of this huge force was likely in Haicheng.
What do they want to do? ~~~~
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the authorities did not foresee this crisis in advance. How did they know about it in advance? Is there someone who has been reborn like me?
Or is this a man-made world crisis?
Ye Zheng quickly sorted out this information in his mind and felt it was very dangerous.
In the past, he felt that he was fully prepared and could handle any situation with ease.
Now it seems that he is just a small piece on a big chessboard.
Others are considering the overall situation, but he is just gaining the upper hand in one corner. This situation of having the upper hand is not safe and may make him more likely to be targeted.
This is definitely a conspiracy!
The game has already begun and you have already entered it. How should you respond in the future?
