Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 816 Poverty Limits Imagination
Now the border defense military region doesn't care about anything, it just firmly guards the border. Except for the infected, ordinary citizens are not allowed to leave the country.

Yaxin and Jiaofeng took the sea route, and the cargo ship of the Haimen Gang would take them directly from the port of Shengdi City to Longmen. This route is very familiar, and it can basically be said to be foolproof.

Of course, it is okay to transport a few people, but it is almost impossible to transport a large number of troops by sea.

In addition, it is very difficult for ordinary people to leave the country by sea. Now almost the whole world knows about Victoria, and almost all ports in the world do not allow Victoria's ships to dock.

Except for professional smugglers like the Haimen Gang, no shipping company dares to transport people abroad.

Creatures with high intelligence never die. Since land and sea routes are impassable, they can only go to the sky.

At this point, some citizens who thought they were smart and predicted the fall of the south began to flock to Gayaer City. There was only one reason for them to gather in Gayaer City.

That is, Gayer City has the only airport in the south, and this airport is exactly the one that Xia Feng read from the newspaper some time ago, the civilian airport invested and built by [Yuntian Group].

Due to the limitations of the natural environment and various external factors, aircraft in the world of Terra are very rare.

As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and of course, the price of flying is ridiculously expensive.

Looking at the economic level in the south, if an ordinary family with an average income wants to fly the whole family out of the country, it will take almost half a year's income, which is usually the case.

As for now, the ticket price has doubled by an unknown number of times. To put it simply, if ordinary people want to go abroad by plane, they will almost become paupers after getting off the plane and can only drink northwest wind.

Ordinary people can't afford to fly, but nobles and rich people can.

Because of this turmoil, some southern aristocrats would choose to send their family members abroad for refuge, factories were also closed on a large scale, and the bosses all ran away with their money.

Most of the so-called "upper class" people in the south gathered in Gayare City, and they all wanted to take one of the few planes to temporarily escape this chaotic country.

Just like a person who sprays insecticide at home and prepares to go outside to wait for the effects to wear off, the reason why bugs wait quietly to die is because they cannot stop humans.

But now, it is not the bugs that are going to be exterminated, but the infected people who have the same two arms and one head. In this case, the infected people will not let these local tyrants leave Victoria with peace of mind.

In this way, whether it was organized or spontaneous, a large number of infected people and the "upper class" flocked to Gayare City.

When Xia Feng devoted his energy to pay attention to this matter, it was already a few days later.

The news he got was that the city of Gayal was turned upside down by the swarm of infected people.

Gayaer City is the largest economic pillar city in the south. To put it bluntly, it is full of foreign businessmen and investment groups, very rich.

Because it is located in the southern hinterland, most of the infected people who have been evacuated from the north and have not yet left the country gather nearby. Without the support of the Office of Supervision and the army, Gayel City has become a zombie siege.

Because of the existence of the airport, no black flags will work this time. As long as the infected see people dressed in rich and noble clothes near the airport who seem to be "upper class", they will hug them by the waist and shout loudly.

"This guy wants to slip away, I caught him, if he dies together, no one can escape!"

According to the official request for help from Gayaer City, the current riots have caused more than 200 deaths and thousands of others were injured.

The airport of Yuntian Group was forced to shut down, and now the infected people gathered around the airport, threatening to dismantle all the planes in the airport.

Black Feather Grill.

Xia Feng looked at the middle-aged man at the other end of the sofa, and gestured with his hand.

"Please have some tea."

The black-haired, black-eyed middle-aged man with the characteristics of the dragon race who came to visit at this time is the chairman of Yuntian Group, Li Yuntian, which matches his racial characteristics, he is from Yan Kingdom.

Li Yuntian was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the barbecue restaurant, and behind him stood four men wearing sunglasses. According to him, these four were his personal bodyguards.

It was also because of these four bodyguards that he was able to run from Gayel City to Harpi City unscathed.

Even though the group suffered a devastating blow, Li Yuntian still maintained a natural calmness. It can be seen that he is an excellent businessman.

Li Yuntian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put down the teacup, he said.

"President Xia, I have admired your name for a long time."

"You're welcome, just call me Xia Feng."

Li Yuntian didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to speak sternly.

"Okay, Brother Xia Feng, you came today uninvited. Li is really helpless. I hope President Xia can help."

Xia Feng probably already guessed what this business tycoon came to him for.

"What's the matter, just tell me."

Li Yuntian's voice was neither humble nor overbearing.

"To be honest, I'm not from Victoria, and I'm shocked by what happened in this country. The reason why Sky Group chose to settle in Victoria is because of the peace and economy here."

Xia Feng raised his hand to signal.

"You don't need to say these words, what do you want me to do, just say it."

"I want you to understand."

"Mr. Li, I'm not a businessman. Maybe I used to be, but I'm not now."

Interrupted several times by Xia Feng, Li Yuntian's face was a little complicated. It was only at this moment that he realized that this was not just a business talk, and at the same time he had roughly figured out Xia Feng's character.

Pursing his lips, Li Yuntian finally spoke bluntly.

"President Xia, you should be able to let the crazy infected people in Gayer City go away."

Xia Feng leaned on the sofa.

"I'm afraid I can't do this. I don't have the right to order infected people, nor do I have the qualifications. Of course, even if I can do it, I don't have time to deal with it now."

It is true that the situation now is not the same as it was before.

The central army may attack any southern city at any time, and he can no longer do the nanny job of maintaining order as before.

At that time, it will not be as simple as smashing and looting, but the massacre of the infected by the central army.

Seeing Xia Feng's rejection without hesitation, Li Yuntian continued.

"Well, I don't need you to order the infected people to evacuate, I just need you to call for them to calm down, and our Yuntian Group can even provide them with supplies to survive."

Looking at Li Yuntian's expression, Xia Feng was a little puzzled.

"why?"

"what do you mean."

"Why do you want to make Gayel City stable? Shouldn't you try your best to escape from Victoria at this time?"

After hesitating for a while, Li Yuntian's composure finally collapsed, and he gave a wry smile.

"That's a good question. If it's just me, I can really try my best to leave Victoria."

"You hate your airport?"

"Heh, to be arrogant, I, Li Yuntian, don't care about money."

"Then you mean, you still have family?"

"It's not family, it's compatriots."

Li Yuntian sighed.

"My Yuntian Group has a rule, that is, I never recruit foreigners into the group. The members of the group, ranging from managers to ordinary employees, are all from Yanguo. Some are from Longmen Special Zone, and some are from the interior of Yan. My family members can be counted on one hand, but I promised their families that I would bring them back alive."

Seeing that Xia Feng didn't answer, Li Yuntian continued to explain.

"The Sky Group employs more than 500 people in Gayare, Victoria. Now that the border is completely closed, so many people can't get out at all."

"Don't you have a plane?"

Li Yuntian narrowed his eyes.

"Just 3 days ago, our last plane that took off was shot down when it reached a height of about 40 meters. It was the Originium skill activated by someone among the infected people. The plane crashed immediately and exploded , more than 100 people died."

Speaking of this, Xia Feng understood Li Yuntian's difficulties.

To put it simply, this super local tycoon turned into a slum millionaire. An airport cost billions, but he no longer cares about the loss.

All he wanted to do now was to take his people out of Victoria. Even if he didn't leave, he had to at least ensure the safety of his own people.

Now there is no city in the south that is absolutely safe, of course, except for the only Harpy City, but it is impossible for Li Yuntian to transfer the city with his 500 compatriots.

With the current chaotic situation, a team of more than 500 people will definitely encounter a large number of infected people during the transfer process from the city, and what will happen at that time is unpredictable.

Li Yuntian's choice is indeed worthy of his name, Yi Bo Yuntian, he did not abandon his compatriots and escape by himself, but wanted to take everyone away together.

However, Xia Feng would not be moved by this kind of thing.

Now similar things are happening in various cities in the south. To save people, we must rely on our own ability, rather than asking for help.

"Sorry, I can't do anything, please go back."

Li Yuntian was still sitting firmly on the sofa.

"President Xia, I won't say please. Although you just said that this is not a business, I am a businessman, and I can only use the method I am good at."

"What do you mean, do you want to give me money?"

Li Yuntian raised his head and looked directly into Xia Feng's eyes.

"Yes."

Xia Feng chuckled and shook his head.

"Since you've come to see me, you should know what I do. Do you think I'm short of money, or what's the use of money at this moment?"

Li Yuntian was not discouraged, he continued to look at Xia Feng squarely and said.

"President Xia is right. At this time, money is useless to people who don't know how to use it correctly, but I think that for you, money may have uses beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Xia Feng's eyes twitched slightly, as if he understood something.

"A use beyond the imagination of ordinary people, for example?"

"For example, from the other side of the sea, buy what you need."

Xia Feng smiled, but this smile contained a different meaning.

"Oh, do I need something? It will cost a lot of money."

"Snapped!"

A check was slapped on the coffee table by Li Yuntian, with a calm voice without any hesitation.

"100 billion Thai currency, Longmen Bank, can be transferred at any time."

Before Xia Feng could speak, Nancy, who was eavesdropping in the financial office, squirted out a mouthful of health-preserving tea.

"puff!"

Subsequently, the door of the financial room was closed.

The smile on Xia Feng's face disappeared, and Li Yuntian said in a deep voice after capturing the change in Xia Feng's expression.

"I never do one-shot deals. Chairman Xia, Mingren don't say dark words. I know what you want to do. I, Li Yuntian, can afford 100 billion. If you need more, feel free to come to me."

Xia Feng has never been the one who is blind to money and greedy for wealth and honor. For him, money is a tool to achieve goals, not something for pleasure.

Hei Yu had a lot of savings, and he used them unreservedly where needed, such as stockpiling food, buying medicines, housing the infected, and so on.

However, the reason why he only buys these survival supplies is because "poverty limits imagination".

When the 100 billion was actually photographed in front of him, he realized that he seemed to be able to use the money to do some more "exciting" things.

Li Yuntian left the barbecue restaurant under the escort of his four personal bodyguards, and Xia Feng kept the 100 billion check in his hand.

After returning to the desk at the back with the check in hand, Xia Feng picked up the phone decisively and dialed a Colombian number.

A moment later, Ogur's thick voice came.

"Xia Feng, you finally called me. I know everything about Victoria. It was agreed in advance that large-scale wars may not be handled by black steel, but local small-scale wars are still okay. As for the price, I can call you [-]% off."

Xia Feng did not discuss the employment with Oguer, but asked directly.

"Old Gu, do you Black Steel sell arms?"

"What?"

"Arms, the wholesale kind."
