Scraps Exchange Company (6)

Although the cost of 90 boxes of biscuits is a mere 6,300 dollars to Zhang Qin Feng, it was a large sum to a businessman like Mr. Wang, who relied on the number of sales to make a profit.

Dried or heavy seasoning items, such as biscuits, crackers, and spicy sticks, often sold with the expiry date between 18 months to two years. But what type of situation that makes Mr. Wang in a hurry to clear the 90 boxes of Choreo Biscuits?

The reason is that there are only 6 months more to its expiry date.

4,500 packets of biscuits might take more than eight months for them to be sold off. And with less than half a year for the buyer to clear them from his inventory, no wonder his clients refused to help.

But for Zhang Qin Feng?

There is no such thing as best before the date in the apocalypse. Even a pack of biscuits with the expiry date of last year is still fresh to the survivors. Furthermore, they're categorized as flavored items, which is far superior compared to the bland Protein Bar.

Mr. Wang's delivery came within an hour after the settlement. He also promised Zhang Qin Feng a 10% discount for life as long he's willing to restock through his own Food Processing Factory.

With the worries that have now been taken care of, Zhang Qin Feng tapped on the Mother-Key to activates the dimensional travel.

"Boss!" Dan Bao, Dan Mi, and the two leaders for the Scrap Exchange Company are here to report.

"Everyone is quite early today." Zhang Qin Feng said. It is a surprise to him, especially everyone presents here is doing something important on behalf of Zhang Qin Feng.

"The elders can start first. Our convoys should ready to depart at the end of the report," Zhang Qin Feng said. With a flick of his fingers, Zhang Qin Feng shows them the goods to be sold today.

"Report," the first convoy's leader started.

Up north to Zone 13, the convoy managed to trade with two bases, Iron Gang and Tianyuan Gang. From their hand, the convoy brought back a memory card with a design module inside. As for the exchange, they emptied everything open to purchase.

The second convoy also had a similar experience. Here at Zone 17, only 1 gang dares to make their base here. One of the reasons is that further south in this zone lies a nest with over 10 carriers.

Only by counting the number of spawns alone, there are at least 10 to 20 thousand of them guarding the Carriers. But for the Mawang Gang with the knowledge to hide, they remain safe so far compared to two destroyed gangs in this zone.

From them, the Scraps Exchange Company managed to trade a unique piece of Powercell Film. Although this piece of tech is broken, it can be repaired without worries as long the base has a printing station.

"A thin film like this can provide electricity of 100kW per day?" Zhang Qin Feng played with the broken item. Although it wasn't too impressive in terms of output, its killing point is in that size itself.

If it's not broken, the device comes in a long 50cm film. At the electronic board is a piece of power reserve block, which holds the capacity of 100kWh and can deliver power supply via an outlet.

"But the apocalypse hardly have strong sunlight. It would be foolish to assemble them on top of the roof," Zhang Qin Feng said. From the shape and its film, Zhang Qin Feng assumes it to be a pre-war history solar panel.

"It's not a solar panel, boss. The survivors stopped using them the moment the majority of sunlight is blocked by the SCV-caused dust." Dan Mi corrected Zhang Qin Feng from that misunderstanding.

"This device uses air to generates electricity. It actually doesn't look like this if repaired." Dan Mi added.

"I see... Then, what about the design module?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.

The elder quickly handed the memory card to Dan Mi. The latter soon activated the Tablet computer in his hand and showed the data inside to Zhang Qin Feng's inspection.

"This..." Zhang Qin Feng stunned at the image, which was artificially made for the memory card. In another way of assuming this, it should be a proposal to the defense department before the apocalypse.

But unfortunately, to the owner of this memory card, the apocalypse practically destroys three-quarters of humanity's accessible technology.

Since there is no more government, corporation, or military, this design module turned up to be useless for the survivors. Because even if you got it, you can't make it.

Furthermore, not all bases are willing to sacrifice a month of the printing station operation for the sake of the experiment.

"This might be good, but I'll have to wait for my engineers to give me a reply." Zhang Qin Feng received the memory card from Dan Mi before he continued.

The two convoy leaders are to depart again. But this trip, they're bringing two additional boxes of Choreo to sell.

It was Dan Bao's turn next.

"The people from Xicheng Base comes again. But our suppressing fire scares them off from keep coming closer. This is our third time forcing them to retreat." Dan Bao said. Amongst the 10 teams assigned by Xichen to capture the 11th zone, half of them took the liberty to come and cause trouble.

And facts prove that the wall they're trying to bring down is made of steel and not concrete. Facing the defense of 4 Rhinos, and over 20 soldiers with brand new Leishen Rifle, their useless weaponry is almost like a decoration.

"There are another 2 completed Rhinos and Leishen Rifles inside the garage, so go ahead and fortify our forces. And at the same time, there's a thing I need to consult with both of you," Zhang Qin Feng decided to take the matter of this Leishen Model S-Gemini out.

"We've found the blueprint for this," Zhang Qin Feng removed the safety pin and aimed at a rotten tree near them.

"Bam!" the recoil shows how heavy is this one-handed weaponry. But its firepower is more complicated. A bullet is all it needs to bring the tree down to the ground.

"We can't issue them." Dan Mi said. Since he's more to safety first, his opinion is that the weapon should not be issued to any soldiers.

"In my opinion, we can try." Dan Bao's suggestion is slightly different. Instead of rejecting the weapon out of safety reasons, he has a better idea that can put them into good use.

"Tell me what you're suggesting," Zhang Qin Feng said. He tossed the weapon over to Dan Bao to let him had a touch of this weapon and suggest accordingly.

Even to Dan Bao, somebody that gotten two injections before still struggled when handling the Model S-Gemini.

"My suggestion is that we establish a hunting unit that specialized in looking for Devourer, Seedling, Carrier, and Titan. This is the only way to increase our profits other than trading with other people."

"At the same time, we can create an impression on other top tier gangs, warning them from messing around. I won't hide this information with you either, boss,"

"That in terms of firepower, our Rhinos are still a grade at least, below the Spider Tank under Xichen's main force. Although the railgun is strong enough to pulverize the base main door, it is weak if compared to a Grade-C Ballistic Cannon." Dan Bao brought up the matter he experiences before during the Titan's hunt.

"Look's like there's more we have to prepare before we can fight against them head to head." Zhang Qin Feng rubbed his chin while he admits the differences between them to Xicheng Base.

"Bzzzt..."

"Bzzzt, HQ report..." the Luna II device on their wrist vibrates at the same time.

"Commander here, report!" Dan Bao immediately replied to the caller.

"Titan... Bzzzt. Titan found... West." the signal between them to the frontline shouldn't be this bad. But right before them, it happened.

"If there's a Titan at our west side, then we're in big trouble! Dan Mi, get everyone back to the Liuxing and Liuyu Building!"

"I'll need your approval for overall command, boss." Dan Bao awaits Zhang Qin Feng's approval.

"Approved," Zhang Qin Feng replied with the Luna II device sending a live message to everyone using the same frequency. And with the right of commanding falls to Dan Bao's hand, he immediately made a decision.

"I want all Rhinos ready to be deployed!"
