Half a month ago, on the day the outbreak of the No. 1 infectious disease broke out, North Africa’s west-facing Free Trade Port.

The people are surging in the free port, and the streets are crowded with people. A shabby car is driving on the street. Due to the crowd, the car can hardly move. A bearded man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses is yawning and protruding his head from time to time.

I went out and asked the people in front to give in, but the crowd was still so crowded.

Qi Jiamei sat in the passenger seat, wearing a military green military uniform and wearing an armed belt outside, just like everyone here.

More than a month ago, Qi Jiamei, who was floating on the sea, was rescued by Howard's cargo ship, a man driving next to him. However, when Qi Jiamei was awake, she forgot everything except remembering her name, and she didn't know.

Why is I in the sea? I don’t know what happened to me...

However, Qi Jiamei knew two things Howard told her. First, if she was not a woman, he would never save her, because the current environment requires women, especially women with a good appearance and figure like her;

2. If she wants to survive, then she will follow Howard to become his assistant in the future.

When saying this, Howard was playing with the Desert Eagle pistol in his hand and looked at Qi Jiamei with lustful eyes. Then Qi Jiamei took away his eyes with lightning speed.

When Howard was surprised, the gun dismantled the pistol into parts, then threw it at his feet, and said coldly: "Thank you for saving me, but this does not mean that you can do whatever you want to do to me."

Howard then smiled, looked at Qi Jiamei and said, "I have found the treasure!"

Then, unlike Qi Jiamei's guess, Howard actually gave her a full set of combat equipment and told her that from now on, she will be her first assistant and in charge of all his things, but less than half of this sentence was said.

After a young age, Qi Jiamei realized that Howard was just a smuggler who had no background and tried to start from scratch. He spent a lot of money to board the ship, and his destination was a free port in the west of North Africa.

At the same time, Howard had no subordinates. When he discovered her, the people on the boat did not intend to save her. If Howard hadn't insisted, she would have become a floating corpse on the sea long ago.

Qi Jiamei didn't know who she was or where she should go. She could only follow Howard until she found her memory. Howard agreed, and he knew that Qi Jiamei wouldn't be so simple.

The memories were retrieved. Of course, he didn't know what kind of bad luck this woman would bring to him.

In the following month, Howard and Qi Jiamei followed the cargo ship around, shuttled between the islands on the Atlantic Ocean, and then arrived at the Mediterranean Sea. Because the cargo ship owner wanted to pick up rags on the battlefield in the Mediterranean, maybe he could pick up something useful.

Things you can sell at a good price when you bring them to Freeport.

During this period, Qi Jiamei was trying to recall the past, but she had no idea. She didn't even know how the world would become like this. However, she had a strange feeling about the word Shangdu. She felt very

Familiar, so her destination was to go to Shangdu New District, the place called Fang Ark.

"I'm still thinking about Shangdu's ark?" Howard honked for a while, and saw that the crowd still could not disperse, so he simply turned his head and said to Qi Jiamei, who was staring in a daze in front of him.

Qi Jiamei nodded silently. Everything in front of her is so slow now. She really wants to leave here and go to the ark to find her past, but it is not that easy to go to Shang. She has also heard many people say along the way, and some people

They tried to smuggle into Shangdu, but most of them died halfway. Even if they approach Shangdu, they would be shot dead by the Shangdu National Defense Forces guarding the border.

"If you really want to go, I can't stop you, but I think you should make some money before going." Howard saw that the crowd in front was a little looser, and immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the front, "I

I have agreed to you that I will earn 50% of the money."

Qi Jiamei finally spoke: "I don't want money. I save enough things I use on the road, and I'll set off."

"What are you kidding? This is North Africa! From North Africa to Asia, the fastest way is to take a plane, and of course the most dangerous way, and the best way is to go on land." Howard took out the map from the toolbox next to him.

"Look at the map, you have to enter the Middle East from Egypt, and then enter the Asian region from the Middle East. Even if you can pass through the blockade of the resistance army, it will be difficult to survive after entering the Middle East. The resistance organizations there have always been with Shangdu

The National Wehrmacht is in a tug-of-war. After so many years, no one has defeated anyone. You must know that money can make the devil push the mill."

What Howard mentioned is not the real currency, but energy. The scarce thing now is these things. In some places in Europe, even a sack of coal can be exchanged for many necessary daily necessities.

When it is most scarce, in winter, if such a sack of coal is of high quality, you can change to a car. Of course, no one will do such a loss-making business. After all, the car needs gasoline to drive it.

At the same time, things like batteries have basically become hard currency, ordinary batteries, and car batteries. These can all be used for direct transactions. Of course, ordinary rechargeable batteries are more effective than disposable batteries.

Originally, solar charging equipment was relatively in short supply, but due to pollution and haze, there was little time to see the sun all year round. Even if you could still receive charging from light sources, the time was still long, so the price fell all the way.

A few years ago, Shangdu developed a new type of energy, which is a fermentation charging device. This machine is like a washing machine. You can put the fermentable things into it and convert them into a power supply. There is also a function like a biogas tank.

, it's relatively easier to carry.

However, the most valuable things are gasoline and alcohol, especially the former, which are more expensive than gold, and there is no so-called market price at all. They are priced independently by the owner. Do you like to buy or not? There is no shortage of buyers anyway.

The back of Howard's car is loaded with some accessories for guns, as well as maintenance items, such as gun oil, springs, triggers, strikers and other things in magazines, which are collected by Howard over the years.

After the outbreak of the total war, many people did not realize how important it is to maintain the guns in their hands. Many people only knew how to shoot but didn't know how to maintain them, which led to some getting stuck after going to the battlefield and some being directly exploded. Only when they knew the importance

I found that I could not find the maintenance stuff.

Take gun oil for example. Military gun oil is silicone lubricating oil, but it is difficult to find such things now. Even the Resistance Army is supplied in limited quantities and cannot be wasted. Many of them are looking for alternatives, in transformers.

lubricating oil, or other mechanical lubricating oils to replace it.

So, Howard knew that if he found a good buyer in this car, he could sell it at a very good price.

"I've calculated it." Howard was driving on the street with a slightly loose crowd, "If we sell all of them, these things can be exchanged for at least one ton of batteries, one ton! Do you know what the concept is? I know here in Freeport,

There was a businessman who had a factory in North Africa. This guy was a profiteer. He had contact with some senior executives in the Resistance Army and helped him collect batteries everywhere. He also had a group of people under him to help him create transformations. He did everything he did.

As long as we find him, we will be rich.”

Qi Jiamei said lightly: "You also said that you need to find someone who knows the goods. What if someone doesn't know the goods? Open your eyes and see, these people around you will basically shoot. It's the same thing if you use a gun or not.

, but do they think it is necessary to maintain a gun? If it is not a professional soldier, like the Resistance Army, no one will care about what you have in your hands."

Howard smiled: "Then sell it to the Resistance Army, there will always be someone who needs it."

"You are so optimistic." Qi Jiamei shook her head, "It's so optimistic."

"My dad said the same thing. Do you know how he died? I scared myself to death because I was not optimistic. I died of a heart attack. When I died, my body smelled, and a group of monsters attracted. I waited for me to go back.

It was already half a month later, but I saw his incomplete body in my living room." Howard seemed very relaxed when he said this.

Qi Jiamei glanced at Howard and asked, "How long will it take?"

"There is a hotel at the port terminal. It's cheap and the environment is pretty good. You can see the beautiful river by opening the window. I spent a lot of money, but the rooms are sparse and there are only one, so we can only make do with it and stay together.

"Howard carefully looked at Qi Jiamei after saying that.

"I live in the car, you stay in the room, that's it. Don't say extra words, just like that." Qi Jiamei said immediately.

Howard looked very disappointed and slapped: "Okay, I'll listen to you. If it weren't for you, I might have died long ago."

In fact, if Qi Jiamei hadn't discovered it in time on that cargo ship, I'm afraid Howard would have been killed by the ship owner. That guy was half a pirate. It should be said that almost all the people who run the ship now are like this, as long as it is profitable,

Everyone will take risks.

There was no so-called morality in this world, let alone now.

On the street that was not long, it took nearly an hour to drive to the destination hotel. The so-called hotel is just a five-story house, which is very simple, but it is expensive, and staying for a night requires a lot of money.

, that is, many batteries, Howard directly pulled out the gasoline in the car and treated it as the room money for the previous three days.

Qi Jiamei used canvas to cover the things behind the car tightly, and then tied them with iron chains and slept on them to take care of them. Howard could not persuade Qi Jiamei to go to the room with him, so he had to have only one person.

I took the things up, then took a shower, ordered two hot meals - canned bread slices of canned soybeans, and brought six slices of sausages.

This food is already considered top-notch here, and according to the seller, it provides all the necessary nutrients for the human body.

However, these two hot meals alone cost Howard two large rechargeable batteries. These two items can be exchanged for two light machine guns and thousands of bullets in some hinterlands of Europe. r1152
