Arknights is too real, right?
Chapter 816 Poverty limits imagination
Now the Border Defense Military Region doesn't care about anything, it just secures the border tightly. Except for infected people, ordinary citizens are not allowed to leave the country.
Yaxin and Jiaofeng took the sea route. The Haimen Gang's cargo ship would send them directly from the port in Shengdi City to Longmen. This route was very familiar and basically foolproof.
Of course, it is okay to transport a few people, but if you want to transport a large number of troops in from the sea, it is almost impossible.
In addition, it is very difficult for ordinary people to leave the country by sea. Now almost the whole world knows about Victoria. Ports around the world hardly allow Victoria's ships to dock.
Except for professional stowaways like the Haimen Gang, no shipping company dares to transport people out of the country.
Creatures with high intelligence never lose their minds. Since land and sea routes are inaccessible, they can only go to the sky.
At this point, some citizens who thought they were smart and had predicted the fall of the south began to flock to Geyere City. There was only one reason why they gathered in Geyere City.
That is, Gayel City has the only airport in the south. This airport is exactly the one Xia Feng saw in the newspaper some time ago, a civilian airport invested and built by [Yuntian Group].
Due to limitations of the natural environment and various external factors, aircraft in the Terra world are very rare.
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, and of course, flying is also ridiculously expensive.
Judging from the economic level of the South, if an ordinary family with an average income wants to fly the whole family out of the country, it will cost almost half of the year's income. This is normal.
As for now, the ticket prices have increased countless times. To put it simply, if ordinary people want to fly abroad, they will almost become paupers after getting off the plane, and they can only drink the northwest wind.
Ordinary people cannot afford to fly, but nobles and rich people can.
Because of this turmoil, some southern nobles would choose to send their families abroad to seek refuge. Factories were also closed on a large scale, and the bosses ran away with their money.
Most of the so-called "upper class" people in the south gathered in the city of Gaya, hoping to board one of the few planes available to temporarily escape this chaotic country.
Just like people who spray pesticides at home and then go outside to wait for the effects to wear off, bugs wait quietly because they cannot stop humans.
But now, it is not the bugs that need to be exterminated, but the infected people who also have two arms and one head. In this case, the infected people will not let these wealthy people leave Victoria in peace.
In this way, whether organized or spontaneous, a large number of infected people and "upper-class people" flocked to the city of Gayel.
When Xia Feng devoted his energy to paying attention to this matter, it was already a few days later.
The news he received was that the city of Gayel was turned upside down by a swarm of infected people.
Gayel City is the largest economic pillar city in the south. To put it bluntly, it is full of foreign businessmen and investment groups and is very wealthy.
Because it is located in the hinterland of the south, most of the infected people who were evacuated from the north and have not yet left the country gathered nearby. Without the support of the Supervision Office and the army, the city of Gayel became a zombie siege.
Because of the existence of the airport, no black flags can be used this time. As long as the infected people see people wearing rich and noble clothes near the airport who appear to be "upper class", they will go up to them, hug them, and yell loudly.
"This guy wanted to escape, but I caught him. We will die together, and no one can escape!"
According to the official call for help information released by Gayare City, the current riots have resulted in more than 200 deaths and thousands of injuries.
Yuntian Group's airport was forced to shut down. 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 on the other side of the sofa and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Tea, please."
The middle-aged man with black hair, black eyes, and dragon racial characteristics who came to visit at this time was the chairman of Yuntian Group, Li Yuntian. In line with his racial characteristics, he was from the Yan Kingdom.
Li Yuntian was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the barbecue restaurant. Behind him stood four men wearing sunglasses. According to him, these four were his personal bodyguards.
It was precisely with these four bodyguards that he was able to run from Gayaer City to Happy City unscathed.
Even though the group suffered a devastating blow, Li Yuntian still maintained a natural calmness. It was obvious that he was an excellent businessman.
Li Yuntian picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he put down the teacup and said.
"President Xia, I have long admired your name."
"You're welcome, just call me Xia Feng."
Li Yuntian did not feel embarrassed and continued to speak seriously.
"Okay, Brother Xia Feng, I came here uninvited today. It's really that Li is at his wits' end. I hope President Xia can help."
Xia Feng probably guessed why this business tycoon came to him.
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
Li Yuntian's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
"To be honest, I am not from Victoria and I am shocked by what is happening in this country. The reason why our Sky Group chose to settle in Victoria is because of the peace and economy here."
Xia Feng raised his hand to signal.
"There's no need to say these words. Just tell me what you want me to do."
"I want you to understand."
"Mr. Li, I am not a businessman. Maybe I was in the past, but not now."
After being interrupted several times by Xia Feng, Li Yuntian's expression was a little complicated. It was not until this moment that he understood that this was not just a business discussion. At the same time, he also roughly figured out Xia Feng's character.
After pursed his lips, Li Yuntian finally spoke bluntly.
"President Xia, you should be able to make the crazy infected people leave Gayaer City."
Xia Feng leaned against the sofa.
"I'm afraid I can't do this. I don't have the right or qualification to order infected people. Of course, even if I can do it, I don't have time to deal with it now."
This is true, the situation now is different from before.
The Central Army may attack any southern city at any time, and he can no longer do the nanny work of maintaining order as before.
At that time, it will not be as simple as smashing, smashing and looting, but the massacre of infected people by the Central Army.
Seeing Xia Feng's refusal without hesitation, Li Yuntian continued.
"Well, I don't need you to order the infected to evacuate. I just need you to call on them to calm down. Our Yuntian Group can even provide them with supplies to survive."
Looking at Li Yuntian's expression, Xia Feng was a little confused.
"Why?"
"what do you mean."
"Why should Geyeer City be stabilized? Shouldn't you try your best to escape from Victoria at this time?"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuntian's calmness finally collapsed and he smiled bitterly.
"That's a good question. If it were just me, I would really try my best to leave Victoria."
"You can't bear to part with your airport?"
"Ha, to be arrogant, I, Li Yuntian, don't care about money."
"So you mean, you still have family?"
"Not family, but compatriots."
Li Yuntian sighed.
"We, Yuntian Group, have a rule that we never recruit foreigners into the group. The members of the group, from managers to ordinary employees, are all Yanguo people. Some are from Longmen Special Zone, and some are from the interior of Yanguo. Ha, I I can count my family members 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.
"Yuntian Group has more than 500 employees in Gayel, Victoria. Now the border is completely blocked and so many people can't get out at all."
"Don't you have a plane?"
Li Yuntian narrowed his eyes.
"Just three days ago, our last plane that took off was shot down when it had just reached an altitude of about 40 meters. It was someone among the infected who activated the Originium skill. The plane crashed immediately and exploded. , more than 100 people died."
Having said this, Xia Feng finally understood Li Yuntian's difficulty.
To put it simply, this real super tycoon became a slum millionaire. He spent billions on an airport, but he no longer cares about this loss.
He just wants to take his people out of Victoria now. Even if he doesn't leave, he at least wants to ensure the safety of his own people.
No city in the south is absolutely safe now, except of course the only Hapi City. However, it is impossible for Li Yuntian to move the city with his 500 compatriots.
Given the current chaotic situation, a team of more than 500 people will definitely encounter a large number of infected people during the transfer process out of the city. What will happen then is unpredictable.
Li Yuntian's choice is indeed worthy of his name, Yi Bo Yuntian. He did not abandon his compatriots and escape on his own, but wanted to take everyone away with him.
However, Xia Feng would not be moved by such a thing.
Similar things are happening in various cities in the south now. To save people, you have to rely on your own abilities instead of asking others to save them.
"Sorry, there's nothing I can do, please go back."
Li Yuntian was still sitting firmly on the sofa.
"President Xia, I won't say anything like begging you. Although you just said this is not a business, I am a businessman and I can only use the method I am good at."
"What do you mean, you want to give me money?"
Li Yuntian raised his head and looked directly into Xia Feng's eyes.
"That's right."
Xia Feng chuckled and shook his head.
"Since you came to me, you should know what I do. Do you think I will be short of money, or what is the use of money at this moment?"
Li Yuntian was not discouraged, he continued to look directly at Xia Feng and said.
"President Xia is right. At this time, money is of little use to people who don't know how to use it correctly, but I think that for you, money may have uses beyond ordinary people's imagination."
Hearing these words, the corners of Xia Feng's eyes twitched slightly, and he seemed to understand something.
"Uses beyond ordinary people's imagination, for example?"
“Like, buying what you need from the other side of the ocean.”
Xia Feng smiled, but this smile contained a different meaning.
"Oh, what do I need? It will cost a lot of money."
"Snapped!"
A check was slapped on the coffee table by Li Yuntian, his calm voice without a trace of hesitation.
"10 billion tera coins, Longmen Bank, can be transferred at any time."
Before Xia Feng could say anything, Nancy, who was eavesdropping in the finance office, spat out a mouthful of health tea.
"puff!"
Then, the door to the finance room was closed.
The smile on Xia Feng's face disappeared. Catching the change in Xia Feng's expression, Li Yuntian said in a deep voice.
"I never do one-shot deals. President Xia, I don't tell secrets. I know what you want to do. I, Li Yuntian, can afford 10 billion. If you need more, come to me at any time."
Xia Feng has never been greedy for money or wealth. For him, money is a tool to achieve goals, not a thing for enjoyment.
Black Feather had a lot of savings, and he used them without any reservation for where needed, such as stocking grain, buying medicines, housing infected people, etc.
However, the reason why he only purchased these survival supplies was because "poverty limits imagination."
When the 10 billion was actually slapped in front of him, he realized that he seemed to be able to do more "exciting" things with money.
Li Yuntian left the barbecue restaurant under the escort of his four personal bodyguards, and the 10 billion check was left in Xia Feng's hand.
After returning to the desk inside with the check in hand, Xia Feng decisively picked up the phone and dialed a Colombian number.
After a while, Ogur's rich voice came.
"Xia Feng, you finally called me. I know everything about Victoria. We agreed in advance that Black Steel cannot handle large-scale wars, but local small-scale wars are still fine. As for the price, I can call you. A 20% discount.”
Xia Feng did not discuss employment with Ogur, but asked directly.
"Lao Gu, do you Black Steel sell arms?"
"What?"
"Arms, wholesale kind."
