Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 1841: Chapter 991:

“Let me see, how can you be sure it’s white sugar?” The sturdy man quickly picked up the telescope to take a closer look after hearing Wensheng’s words.

Wensheng thought for a moment before saying:

“Brother, although we can’t see it very clearly, just looking at the color makes it somewhat similar, and I think the previous guess wasn’t wrong.

The people in Oil City should be trading with another force, and they are using oil for the transaction.

Considering what can be traded with oil, honestly, apart from white sugar, I can’t think of anything else that looks like this.”

The sturdy man frowned.

He said, “Last time, I heard the Governor mention casually that there’s a shortage of white sugar in the Federation. If this is indeed white sugar, then this unknown force needs to be understood.”

Wensheng nodded and said, “Right, so I’m wondering if we should simply follow this unknown force later. Anyway, we know where Oil City is, and once we’ve figured out that force, we can come back to investigate.”

The sturdy man pondered for a moment and said, “Alright.”

“Boss, they’re unloading new items from the car. Are those medicines? Yes, those are medicines. You see such a large LOGO; I know this brand specializes in making Antibiotics Anti-inflammatory Drugs,” someone next to him said.

“What? Medicines? It’s such a waste to use something so precious for trading,” the sturdy man exclaimed.

When he said this, his eyes flashed a little.

This trip wasn’t in vain; although they haven’t fully figured out the situation of Oil City and Big Camphor Tree Base, at least they have identified another force, and it has precious medicines and sugar.

“Once they finish trading, let’s follow this convoy and see where they’re coming from! It’s too close here, let’s retreat first,” the sturdy man said.

“Alright, boss.”

After saying this, they crawled away, moving towards the ruins behind them.

Then they stood up and walked towards the forest.

Meanwhile.

Inside the car.

Dong Tai picked up the telescope to look in their direction.

Feeling somewhat suspicious.

“I always feel something is a bit off,” Dong Tai thought to himself.

“Brother Dong Tai, care for a smoke?” Chen Er took out a cigarette he’d been saving for a long time and handed it to Dong Tai.

Dong Tai accepted it and put it into his pocket.

Seeing Chen Er about to light the cigarette, he hastily stopped him:

“Captain Chen, we’re still handling fuel here, it would be disastrous if it caught fire, better not smoke.”

Chen Er, upon hearing this, slapped his forehead and said, “Oh right, my brain, it’s good you reminded me in time, otherwise one careless move would be trouble.”

Dong Tai glanced at him, didn’t say anything.

Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and addressed the alert team outside:

“You didn’t find anything unusual around?”

“Zzz, no.”

“Okay.”

…..

Time slowly passed, half an hour later.

Their transaction was completed, during which Dong Tai felt something wasn’t quite right.

In the end, he even let the drone fly up to check the areas he felt were wrong.

But still saw no problems, so he had to give up.

“Captain Chen, the goods have been mostly cleared, no problems, let’s part ways until your next cooperation.”

Chen Er smiled and said, “Alright, let’s part ways, see you in ten days.”

Dong Tai nodded, thinking: Ten days, perhaps in ten days I’ll have to return to Big Camphor Tree Base as well.

Dong Tai got off the vehicle and boarded Oil City’s truck, taking the exchanged goods back to Oil City.

Only after returning to Oil City did he finally relax his previously tense mind.

Back in the conference room.

Ju Tianrui saw Dong Tai coming in and noticed Dong Tai’s frowning expression, so he asked:

“How’s it? Was the transaction smooth?”

Dong Tai nodded and said, “Quite smooth, the items were checked, no problems.”

Ju Tianrui, upon hearing there were no problems, said, “Good, then organize the goods into storage, and later transport them all to Big Camphor Tree Base.”

“Why are you still frowning, did something happen just now?”

Dong Tai slowly sat down and said:

“I was just thinking about something, every time we cooperate with Southern Paradise, it’s always outside, and the time often exceeds half an hour.

If, I say if someone suddenly attacks, we’d be in danger.

I was wondering if there’s a better way to find a safer place to conduct transactions.”

Ju Tianrui, hearing this, was silent for a few seconds.

He then said, “Letting them inside Oil City to do the transaction is definitely not going to work; besides whether letting them in would pose a threat to us, I guess they’re also afraid to get inside.”

Dong Tai nodded, sighed, and said:

“I always felt someone was secretly peeking during the transaction outside, had the drone fly over and sent someone to check but found nothing, don’t know if I was overthinking.”

Ju Tianrui said:

“Okay, next time before the transaction, send someone to patrol the surroundings in advance, so everyone feels more at ease.

As for changing the transaction location, there isn’t a suitable place for us right now. For now, let’s keep it as it is.

By the way, contact the base later and tell them our transaction was successfully completed.”

“Okay.” Dong Tai nodded.
