54: Chapter 54: Transporting Supplies

"Boss Mei?" Shen Wengang called out when he saw Mei Wenhua silent.

"Ah? Brother Tiangang, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today. Let's talk later. I've already had the kitchen prepare something delicious for the two of you. You should go eat something first." Mei Wenhua said, then winked at the Young woman beside him.

Before the Young woman could speak, Shen Wengang continued:

"Boss Mei, there's no need to eat. Since you're not feeling well, please rest. We have other matters to attend to and will leave directly after collecting our commission." Shen Wengang said.

"Even if you have something else, it won't take long to eat, and the commission is all in physical goods, which also requires some time to allocate. The two of you should go eat first; I won't accompany you." Mei Wenhua finished speaking and got up to leave, no longer entangled with him.

"This way, please, both of you." The Young woman quickly walked over and said.

Shen Wengang said no more, got up, and followed the Young woman towards the kitchen.

...

Meilin Settlement, Mozhou City, Yusu Province.

The 100 people recruited yesterday had all assembled.

Niu Xingwang selected some literate and numerate individuals from the internal affairs group and assigned them tasks such as cashier, statistics, and warehouse management. The remaining people were responsible for escort and security.

The external affairs group was mainly responsible for the transportation and safety of supplies outside the city.

Once everything was arranged, Niu Xingwang took the external affairs group to Liao Team Leader at the command post for registration and filing.

Liao Team Leader received a message from Mayor Gong and even assigned Niu Xingwang a large truck. Ten thousand catties of grain is 5,000 kilograms, and one truck was enough.

With all preparations in order, Niu Xingwang led his people and set off in a mighty procession.

Highways were sparsely populated, and after the virus outbreak, there were even fewer vehicles on the road. Therefore, it was rare to encounter abandoned vehicles blocking the road on the highway. It has now become one of the main ways to travel between cities.

From Meilin Town to Binjiang City is only about 80 kilometers. Although the highway was now covered with fallen leaves, affecting the speed, they still arrived in about 2 hours.

In an abandoned courtyard in the suburbs of Binjiang City, the truck stopped, and more than 40 people jumped out of the truck bed, filling the courtyard.

"Everyone, line up in the courtyard and wait. No one is allowed to move freely without orders." Niu Xingwang said.

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

After speaking, Niu Xingwang walked towards the house.

"Mr. Dongfang, you're here too?" Niu Xingwang asked happily when he saw Oriental Chen sitting inside.

"Just came out for a walk. Here are 10,000 catties of flour that just arrived, a total of 200 bags. I also brought some potatoes and cabbage, almost 10,000 catties. These are two pigs; to prevent mosquito bites, they had to be slaughtered and sealed." Oriental Chen said with a smile.

"So much!" Niu Xingwang said.

"It's not much. There are few people in the base now, so we can't eat this much. It's just sitting there otherwise." Oriental Chen said.

Niu Xingwang nodded.

"Also, these two boxes are antigen. You personally supervise it later; all of them must be injected, and the discarded needles must be collected to prevent anyone from hiding them." Oriental Chen reminded him.

"Okay." Niu Xingwang nodded in agreement.

"These are 100 sets of Combat Suits and camouflage uniforms; distribute them as well. Wear them when going out on missions."

"Okay. Mr. Dongfang, you are really too kind to them." Niu Xingwang said with emotion.

"Alright, that's it then. I'll go back first." After speaking, Oriental Chen walked behind a cabinet in the inner room, and the cabinet door closed automatically.

After Oriental Chen left, Niu Xingwang moved the antigen to the courtyard and said:

"Cao Yinghua, go close the main gate."

Cao Yinghua quickly ran towards the main gate. After the gate was closed, he returned to the queue.

"Everyone listen, this place is where I store supplies, and it is crucial to me. To avoid leaking information, I have to make some preparations in advance. There are some medicines in these two boxes, one for each person, and they must be injected! We will start working after the injections." Niu Xingwang said.

Everyone was unsettled after hearing this.

"Boss Niu, what kind of medicine is this?" one person asked.

"Don't worry, it's just some antibiotics; it won't kill anyone! Cao Yinghua, come here, take the medicine and inject everyone. After the injections, put all the discarded needles back into the box." Boss Niu ordered.

Cao Yinghua hesitated for a moment but still stepped forward and opened the box.

Although everyone was very reluctant, seeing others get injected, they also reluctantly extended their arms.

Soon, all of them were injected.

Niu Xingwang checked the number of needles and then continued:

"I hope everyone understands. I'm also forced to do this. The things here are related to my life and fortune, and I have no choice."

"Boss Niu, don't scare us!" a man shouted.

"Don't worry, it's fine. One month, as long as my warehouse is safe within one month, then naturally, we'll all be fine." Niu Xingwang didn't dwell on this topic, worried about arousing public anger.

He then distributed clothing to everyone.

After changing clothes, the entire team's morale was refreshed.

Niu Xingwang then brought up a series of precautions regarding attire before starting to move things out.

With many people, the work was fast. Soon, the grain, vegetables, and pork were all loaded onto the truck.

Subsequently, everyone got on the truck and returned to the Settlement.
