Chapter 549 Delivering Goods
Fei Guangtou and his men sat in their cars, waiting until after 9 PM when twenty 9.5-meter-long trucks appeared on the road not far away.
"They're here, they're here!" Ah Shui shouted to remind him.
Fei Guangtou, sitting in the back seat, rubbed his eyes and immediately sat up, saying, "Count the goods!"
As soon as he spoke, a group of people got out of the cars and swarmed around the truck convoy.
In the lead truck, Zhang Hao opened the door and jumped out, saying to Fei Guangtou, "Inspect the goods, Brother!"
"Where's the manifest?" Fei Guangtou asked.
Zhang Hao handed the manifest to Guangtou and said softly, "There's a little less this time, but the quality is high. One truck is full of aircraft warheads."
"Okay, let me see!" Fei Guangtou took the manifest and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone move, hurry up!"
At his command, more than forty people opened the sealed containers of the trucks one by one and began to inspect the goods.
Although Fei Guangtou and Zhang Hao were both members of the Tongji Association, they were responsible for completely different tasks. Zhang Hao's job was to receive the goods at sea, and after counting them, transport them out of the Dragon City area before handing them over to Fei Guangtou for processing.
One job involved transporting within the city, which was less risky but required navigating various relationships. The other involved escorting goods outside the city, which was riskier. Therefore, when handing over goods, the manifest had to be checked, and the next party had to sign a confirmation before the task was officially completed.
Near Haiyan Pit, Fei Guangtou spent more than twenty minutes counting the goods. After confirming that there were no problems, he said to Zhang Hao, "Okay, you can go back. We're leaving!"
"Alright!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and left Haiyan Pit with his men in a small car.
Fei Guangtou got into the passenger seat of the lead truck and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go!"
As soon as he spoke, the convoy began to move along the small coastal roads, heading towards the Kasalo region.
This journey would take about a day and a half, which was quite long and arduous. However, although Fei Guangtou usually seemed carefree, he was extremely serious when it came to work. He usually made sure to get enough sleep before taking on a job, and then he would drive straight to the destination without closing his eyes.
This was not the kind of business that could be done in the open, so the convoy took the small roads.
The convoy drove for about six hours and arrived at the border of District One.
Fei Guangtou ordered the convoy to stop and turn off the lights, then immediately called Kong ZhengHui.
"Hello?! Brother Fei!"
"ZhengHui, I've reached the border." Fei Guangtou glanced at his watch. "I'll be at the checkpoint in ten minutes."
"Wait for my call!"
"Okay!"
After they finished speaking, Kong ZhengHui, who was waiting in the city, immediately called the garrison. "The goods are here, they'll be at the checkpoint in ten minutes!"
"Okay, just let them pass normally!"
"Okay, thank you!"
"It's no problem!"
After the two finished communicating, Kong ZhengHui felt relieved and prepared to wash his face and go to bed.
Since the brawl at the engagement ceremony, Kong ZhengHui's position within the association had been adjusted a second time. He was now specifically responsible for the association's foreign affairs, social interactions, garrison relations, sanitation management committee relations, and the mining industry. He was also responsible for dealing with various upper-level departments in the city. He had accumulated a lot of connections in the past two years, and his work had also helped the association reach a higher level of development.
...
Border, inside a military camp.
A major officer walked out and went directly into the duty room: "Turn off all surveillance recordings! Open the South Gate! No guards! Five minutes of vacuum!"
"Yes!"
"Fill the five-minute gap with pre-recorded footage!" the major officer yawned and ordered. "Start doing it now!"
"Yes, sir!"
Less than two minutes after the order was issued, all the soldiers at the South No. 2 checkpoint left their posts. The two layers of barriers inside and outside the checkpoint were raised, and the surrounding surveillance cameras stopped working.
After a while, twelve trucks quickly passed through here, and not long after they left, two old off-road vehicles followed, carrying more members of the garrison.
The two off-road vehicles escorted the truck convoy for nearly ten kilometers before turning back.
Inside the lead truck, the driver said with a smile, "Brother Fei, today is really smooth! We didn't encounter a major inspection or an aerial patrol. We won't waste any time at all. I estimate that we'll arrive at the delivery point tomorrow afternoon!"
Hearing this, Fei Guangtou immediately scolded, "When you're picking up girls, you can't say you've never been rejected. When you're running the roads, you can't say you're too smooth. Don't you even know this rule? Jinx!"
"Yes, Brother Fei, I was wrong, hehe!"
"Damn it!" Fei Guangtou picked up the phone and dialed the number of a certain officer in the Kasalo region.
"Hello?!" A rough voice sounded on the phone.
"Officer Kama, we are about to enter your defense zone!"
"Okay! Okay!! I know."
"That's all!"
The biggest obstacle in establishing the arms business was the many checkpoints along the way. Once you left Dragon City, each district had its own rules and forces. If you didn't take care of them, you definitely wouldn't be able to pass.
Fortunately, after more than a year of preparation, the arms business had finally overcome these difficulties and obstacles, and had enjoyed a stable period of income for more than a year.
Around 4:30 AM.
The truck convoy successfully entered Nuza, a town in the Kasalo region controlled by the old Mo government forces, which was considered a safe area under their own jurisdiction.
The convoy moved slowly forward, and Fei Guangtou was picking at his toes, playing with his phone!
"Bang, bang, bang!!"
Suddenly, three gunshots rang out without warning.
Fei Guangtou suddenly looked up at the outside of the car: "Damn, so close!"
"Whoosh!"
On the sparsely populated road, a group of poorly dressed, mixed-race armed men rushed out of the forest, seemingly without end!
"Fuck your mother!"
Ah Shui and Zhang Chao in the back cars took out their guns immediately.
Fei Guangtou immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Don't fucking move! Wait for me to talk to them!!"
"Get out of the car, get out of the car!!"
At least a hundred people rushed over, surrounding the lead car with guns.
Fei Guangtou pushed open the car door, jumped out in his slippers, and turned his head to look around. Most of the faces around him were black.
"Is there anyone who can speak Mandarin? Let's talk!" Fei Guangtou waved his hand and shouted.
"I can speak!" An Asian man came out and said fluently in Mandarin, "Heaven is the tent, earth is the carpet, brothers, let's be brave with our guns!"
"What does that mean? Are we writing poetry? I can't do that, brother!"
"Stop talking nonsense, we're robbing you!!" The other party opened his mouth with curses.
