Chapter 482
Wasteland, Mexico, the city of Merida, a basement in the Governor's Mansion.
As Zhou Qingfeng's newly-funded errand, Rubin was holding a large bowl of hot instant noodles and stirring the fork desperately, eating it so hard that he kept slacking off. His greedy appearance was astonishing as if he was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
The twin brother Farr, next to Rubin, was restless and drooled while smelling the strong smell of the air. His instant noodles were still boiled on a light boiler, and every hot bubble bursting out could make hungry people feel more distressed.
When Fal's instant noodles were cooked, he blew the air and stuffed them into his mouth, even if his mouth was so hot that he screamed. The aroma of oil and the delicious noodles were combined, and he couldn't scream. A large bowl of noodles was finished in three or five minutes, and he still seemed unsatisfied.
"How do you feel?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"It's so delicious, it's really so delicious! The supreme delicacy, as long as I give me a bowl of 'Supreme' instant noodles every day, I'm willing to do anything." Rubin said loudly. He was full of food, but he was still staring at his brother Farr's bowl, as if he wanted to eat a few bites.
The people in the wasteland have been in a state of food scarcity for a long time. The reason why Mexicans are willing to stay in the city as slave labor is because it is difficult to find food when leaving the city in the nuclear winter environment. Food is a powerful tool to rule society under the control of "Incree".
Even in the city, food is being consumed in large quantities. Due to the lack of crops, it will be harder to endure in the next few months.
The reason why old Martin brought his granddaughter closer to the Governor's Mansion was that he was attracted by the fact that the food supply was relatively abundant. Even Zhou Qingfeng's Governor's Mansion was not everyone could eat enough. People like Rubin who ran errands could only eat half full. It was not uncommon for slave workers in the factory to starve to death every day.
"Incree" has consciously transported the food collected from Mexico back to North America, which has further aggravated the food scarcity in Mexico. As for whether Mexicans will starve to death in the end, they don't care, nor can they care.
In this case, in order to buy the senior management of the entire Merida city, Zhou Qingfeng made great preparations when he returned to the real world, mainly preparing three killers that were enough to sweep any obstacles - cigarettes, white wine and instant noodles.
In the end of the world, these three things are hard currency. For people with mental tension, anxiety or despair, smoking and alcohol are excellent comfort items. Relatively speaking, instant noodles that can provide extremely high nutrition and calories are even more precious and can save lives and trade.
After starting to guide Mexico, "GOD" lifted a little bit of restrictions on Zhou Qingfeng, allowing him to accumulate the transportation quota of 100 tons of low-value materials every day, rather than erase it without using it on the same day. This gave him considerable freedom and convenience.
Although about 3,000 tons of supplies a month cannot support the entire Mexican, it is definitely enough to use them as stepping stones. It is precisely because of their small quantity, which is more precious, which will cause sensation and competition, and will more impress the top leaders who hold power.
Now Zhou Qingfeng has transported about ten tons of supplies from reality, and it is hidden in a basement of the Governor's Mansion. Most of them are instant noodles, and a small part are cigarettes and liquor.
"Do you smoke?" Zhou Qingfeng took out his whiteboard cigarette, without any eye-catching packaging, just printed with the same word "Supreme". The simple and crude publicity clearly shows that he is making his own brand while there are no other cigarettes in the market to compete.
It is said that a cigarette after a meal is as happy as a god. Seeing Rubin and Fal sucking clouds and fog, it is obviously a great pleasure. Fal smoked and said, "I suddenly felt a lot of relaxation. This period is so nervous. Smoking a cigarette is very comfortable."
"So too, this thing is so good that it makes people forget their worries and sorrows." Rubin asked while smoking, "Mr. Hugo, how did you transport these things in?"
"As a legion commander, wouldn't it be too shabby if you only work for me?" Zhou Qingfeng said casually, "I brought these in with someone else. I need someone to help me sell them now."
The two brothers were a little surprised at first, but soon they felt normal. They had figured out Zhou Qingfeng's words themselves - the hero in front of them was indeed a powerful hero who was in power, and some of the ability they could not understand was also very ordinary.
When they heard that Zhou Qingfeng wanted to sell the goods in the basement, the two brothers were excited. Through their own personal experience, they realized that a pack of cigarettes here could do a lot of things, and a bottle of wine could achieve bomb-like effects, and a barrel of instant noodles could even conquer a position. Mastering these resources could immediately improve their status and mobilize a lot of other manpower and material resources.
"I will hold a makeup party tomorrow night, and will gather the powerful people in the entire city of Merida at the party. I hope to unite these people for my own use. And if someone makes trouble for me, I hope everyone will deal with him together. I hope to have a real control of the city.
You know, the Aurora Legion needs oil, coal, and a lot of things produced in Mexico. However, the 'Incree' blocked the route from Mexico to Cuba, so I need a safe smuggling route.
Today, you will bring some tobacco, alcohol and instant noodles to the city's military officers and government officials, whether they are from the "Incree" or the Mexicans, I need them to listen to me well. If anyone does not accept my kindness, write down his name."
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to use the tight supplies he had as a stepping stone to find a way in the enemy's blockade. The two brothers were also very interested in this task and said that they could definitely do this.
but…….
"Are we going to find Lula of the military police?" Rubin was frightened when he mentioned this name. The military police captain of Merida City is really a fierce character who can stop the child from crying at night.
"Lula, Lula,..." Zhou Qingfeng muttered this name several times, "Don't pay attention to him for the time being, but you can try to bribe his people. I don't believe that his military police are all loyal to their duties, and I don't believe that he can control everyone's greed, and we can isolate him."
Hearing that he didn't have to face Lula's ferocity, Rubin and Fal breathed a sigh of relief. Although the others of "Incree" were also very fierce, they could still contact them at least. Unlike Lula, who is completely a stranger, they should not enter, and they will devour people at any time.
"When we bribe all of Lula's subordinates, the poisonous snake will lose its teeth. At that time, we can deal with him as much as we want." Rubin said happily. He and Fal expressed great confidence in the tobacco, alcohol and food that Zhou Qingfeng made like magic.
