"Okay! It's almost 12 o'clock now. I guess you all go back to sort out your personal belongings and deal with personal matters, so let's break up."
After taking a look at the watch on his wrist, Hu Biao said this to everyone in the office.
The main reason is that after clearly explaining the personnel left behind, there is nothing else to say.
Because the 31.7 kilograms of gold, 6.2 kilograms of platinum, and 161 kilograms of silver nuggets brought back this time are all the precious metals that the Central Continent tribe can collect recently.
There is nothing else, and it seems that I can take it back.
After hearing this, all the team members who were sitting loosely on the sofas and stools in the office began to get up and leave one after another.
At such a moment, Qingshan seemed to have thought of something and threw something towards Hu Biao with a wave of his hand like throwing garbage.
With a casual tone in his mouth, he said lightly:
"That's right! Lao Hu, I'm tired of playing with the lighters here. They're not worth much anyway, so I might as well give them to you to play with."
Hu Biaoxin caught the lighter that Qingshan said he was tired of playing with. After putting it in front of his eyes, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a limited edition silver-shell ZIPO lighter.
"Oh! That's so polite. We are all brothers and there is no need for this."
While saying such beautiful words, Hu Biao played with the lighter, put it away without any politeness, and hid it in his trouser pocket.
I'm afraid that other guys in the team will take this thing away.
I never thought that these teammates who had lived and died together on many missions would install other things in the lighter...
A few seconds later, when Bian Po, who was walking at the front, had already stepped out of the front door of Hu Biao's office, suddenly, the phone on the desk rang loudly.
And it was this phone call that forced the Zhongzhou Team to make some changes in their plans.
At that time, Hu Biao, who had a lighter look on his face, took the heavy microphone in his hand, and before he could say anything, a sentence came from the other side:
"Chief Hu Biao, Xu Feng and the translator suddenly sent a joint emergency message, saying that they had discovered 'Old Popsicle' and needed our immediate support."
It's just an ordinary word like 'old popsicle'.
Immediately, Hu Biao and several surrounding members who vaguely heard some of the content showed extremely excited emotions on their faces.
"Hurry up and send the detailed message." Hu Biao even yelled out immediately.
"Everyone, please stay quickly. There is an emergency." Then Hu Biao shouted to the people leaving...
It’s no wonder that Hu Biao is so excited now. That’s because the three teams sent out by Zhongzhou and the others the last time they came here planned to make arrangements in advance for developing the depths of the continent.
Currently, only Jason and Feng's group have successfully reached their destination.
And it successfully established a base in the Longyan area.
Thanks to the Zhongzhou tribe, a company of infantry and 500 civilians including militiamen and technical personnel were supported.
What's more important is that this time after Hu Biao and the others came over.
The 3,000-ton ship "Huangpu River" was used to transport a large amount of materials including 1,000 tons of grain, so the southern Fujian base is still developing quite well.
Now the total population has reached 2,000, and the local area is fully capable of self-protection.
What's even more wonderful is that as long as they get through this year, achieve self-sufficiency in food, and have completely established a foothold, they will be able to usher in an explosion next year.
But it is a pity that everything went smoothly compared to Feng and Jason's actions.
Xu Feng and the translator went to the Yungui Sichuan area, and Broken Gong and Ashtray went to the Taihang Mountains. It was too difficult for these two groups to move.
The main reasons are as follows.
Compared to the southern Fujian area where Jason and others arrived, the destinations of these two groups were much further away; and the closer they got to the interior of the mainland, the more complicated the situation along the way.
About three days ago, according to the latest news sent back by the two groups via telegraph machines, the team of Xu Feng and the translator had only arrived in the Tongren area of your province.
The team that Po Luo and Ashtray belong to are currently in the Xinyang area of Hubei.
The reason for this is because as the members of the team arrived in person, Cai Zhi compared it with the coastal areas like Yangshan where Hu Biao and the others were currently.
The area where Hu Biao and the others are located can be described as a rural place.
Because the closer you get to the depths of the continent, the greater the number of surviving people, and the more powerful the indigenous forces are; such forces even have their own armies and industries.
It's just that the technology trees of these forces are completely distorted.
To be precise, they have a lot of land warfare equipment left over from the past that can barely be used; or they may have DIYed various equipment and assembled it by hand.
There is also a certain amount of farming and various crops are grown.
But in terms of its own industry, it still uses steam engines and manual workshops; in terms of planting, the yield is also very impressive.
That's because they only rely on the knowledge passed down by the survivors, which is incomplete and unsystematic.
In this way, this kind of old popsicle who may have mastered advanced scientific knowledge has become a valuable asset that the indigenous people and outsiders are looking forward to.
******
The so-called "old popsicles" refer to humans who have lived for at least several decades through freezing and other means, as if in deep hibernation.
Generally speaking, they appear in some doomsday-themed games in the modern world, or in movies and TV series.
Since arriving in such a doomsday world, Hu Biao and the others have stayed for two or three years.
Naturally, we know that before the apocalyptic world suffered a catastrophe, the technology in the freezing warehouse may have been developed.
According to normal routines, the people who are eligible to be frozen are basically the various elites of the time, such as scientists, celebrities, and wealthy people.
Therefore, Hu Biao has always been thinking about finding some of these old popsicles so that he can join the Zhongzhou tribe.
If ordinary people like scientists could try their luck, wouldn't they make a lot of money?
It's a pity that they have been struggling here for so long and haven't found a single old popsicle, so after suddenly hearing such a statement, it's strange that Hu Biao and the others are not excited.
After reading the details of the message sent back by Xu Feng and others.
Hu Biao spoke his thoughts to the people around him:
"Brothers and sisters, we must get this old popsicle, but the detention time is tomorrow, and it is such a long distance all the way.
According to Xu Feng's request, it was too late to send reinforcements by boat, so they could only go by plane.
Considering that we currently only have two seaplanes on hand to transport the fifth modification, we not only need to transport reinforcements there, but also transport the old popsicles back.
Let's do this. We will dispatch 15 people on this trip. Among the remaining personnel, except Bianrou, Langqing, and Laohei, we will continue to stay as planned.
The list of 15 people includes me, Lao Yang, Jason, Original Sin, Xiling, Zhuifeng, AT, Mad Dog, White Elephant, NEO, Warehouse Guan, Qingtian, An Tusheng, Black Chinese Medicine Doctor, and Zhuye."
Among the people named by Hu Biao, it can be said that without exception, they are all bloodline experts from the Zhongzhou team, or experts with physical refining skills.
It can be regarded as the strongest force currently assembled by the Central Continent team.
For someone like Hu Biao, it would be hard for others to say anything even if they wanted to.
In this way, the personnel involved in the operation were all prepared for the Zhongzhou team's first ultra-long-distance military operation in the apocalyptic world...
