Chapter 011: Guns and Money
Yang Jian and Xing Lei still retain some of the temperament of being soldiers because they have just been discharged from the army for two years, whether they are standing or walking, their bodies are straight. The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so after a few words of greeting, Yue Rong locked the door of the private room, checked whether the windows were closed tightly, and closed the curtains.
Yang Jian and Xing Lei were a little unclear when they saw this, so they didn't know what kind of secrets Yue Rong called them over, so they would be so solemn and careful.
"You have all served as soldiers in the Western Frontier, and you want to come here to know more about the situation over there, I called you here today just to ask if it is easy to buy guns and ammunition over there?" Yue Rong said straight to the point, even if Yang Jian and Xing Lei were already a little mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.
"What are you doing! What did you buy that thing for? That thing is strictly controlled by the state! Xing Lei suppressed his voice and reminded Yue Rong that Yang Jian didn't speak next to him, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his loud voice.
"I guess you haven't been looking at my cyberspace recently, you go and read my last post first, and we'll talk about it after reading it." Seeing their shocked and confused faces, Yue Rong once again offered the post he had written earlier.
Yang Jian and Xing Lei suspiciously took out their mobile phones, clicked on Yue Rong's cyberspace, and flipped through the post about the coming of the end times.
The more Yang Jian looked at it, the tighter his brows furrowed, unwilling to accept or believe, but he didn't feel like Yue Rong was joking. And all along, it's not the kind of person who is unreliable.
"Can this be true?" As soon as Yang Jian spoke, his voice echoed among the four walls in the entire private room. He was born with a loud voice, and from childhood to adulthood, his voice was almost the same as thunder, and he couldn't hold back at this time, and he forgot to control it.
"Be quiet" Xing Lei said to him, and Yang Jian held his throat apologetically and said "um".
"You're not kidding, are you?" Xing Lei asked, after reading the post, his first feeling was that Yue Rong was making it up. But how could Yue Rong use this kind of thing to entertain them for no reason? And Yue Rong behaved so solemnly today, Xing Lei was puzzled, today is not April Fool's Day.
"I'm not going to argue with you today about whether the end times are really coming, you just need to know about it for the time being. And I can't force you to believe me now. On the 22nd, if a 5.8-magnitude earthquake really occurs off the northeast coast of the Devil Country, causing a tsunami, I believe that your views on this matter will change somewhat, and then if other prophecies come true, it will not be too late for you to believe in me and believe that the end of the world is coming.
I'm calling you here today just to find out if you can buy guns and ammunition on the Western Frontier? Is it easy to buy? What weapons can I buy? What about the price? That's all for the time being, I don't know how much you know? That's what I want to know, I believe that the end times will come, it will come on November 6th, all I want to prepare in advance. Yue Rong didn't hide anything, talking about his questions and thoughts.
Yang Jian looked at Yue Rong and then at Xing Lei, thought for a while before controlling the volume and said, "The side where I am a soldier is in Mobei, and the herdsmen have guns in their hands. Old guns are generally Soviet-made, and the bullets are cheaper for one yuan a round of small caliber (5.45X39 mm), steel shell, and 1,000 yuan per box. The gun is not expensive, the short one is about 1,000 yuan, and the long one is not more than 5,000 yuan, generally 2 or 3,000 yuan; If you want new guns, they are almost all American-made, and the guns are expensive and bullets are expensive, almost twice as expensive as Soviet-made ones. ”
After Yang Jian finished speaking, Yue Rong looked at Xing Lei again. Xing Lei picked up a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said: "My side is almost the same as Yang Jian's, but there are still some domestic ones, and some guns and weapons are sold in China, but they are turned back by some people, the price is comparable to the Soviet-made ones, but the condition is all new guys." In addition, I don't want to think about buying Soviet-made ones, because Soviet-made ones are too old to find good guys. If you want to buy, you can choose between domestic and American. ”
"Is that easy to buy? Are there any other weapons besides guns? Yue Rong asked.
"The herders there sell and buy almost all of their guns openly, pistols, assault rifles, snipers, small mortars, grenades, and light weapons, as long as they have money, they can buy them. But what did you buy and how did you ship it back? On the way back to the mainland, the inspection is much stricter than here. If you are a herdsman in the local area, no one cares about you, but if you dare to bring this kind of thing back to the mainland, you will hardly be able to avoid those inspections. Xing Lei said, and Yang Jian next to him nodded in agreement.
Yue Rong thought for a moment, his medical equipment had a cubic meter of space, if the amount was not large, he could completely evade the inspection and bring back the guns and ammunition. It's just that I seem to have to make a few more trips, and I can't hoard too much of weapons.
Yang Jian and Xing Lei told Yue Rong a lot about the gun trading in the western frontier, partly because they had seen it, and partly because of their hearsay. However, after listening to this information, Yue Rong's worries about guns and weapons suddenly diminished a lot. He was going to start working on it right away, but before that, he had to find a hidden place to store guns and ammunition.
When Yue Rong returned home in the evening, he didn't expect that the credit cards he applied for would be delivered to his home on the same day. There are a total of 13 credit cards, because his previous income is not high, so the amount that can be overdrawn is not large, generally between 5 and 80,000 yuan. Yue Rong thought for a while, and after dinner, he took his credit card and went to his younger brother Yue Gang.
"Brother, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten it, I'll ask Xiaomin to make some for you. Yue Gang saw his brother Yue Rong coming, busy pouring tea.
"Eat, I'm here to give you these cards." Yue Rong said and put a stack of credit cards on the coffee table.
"The overdraft limit of each card is not large, you check it yourself, they are all new cards that have just been expressed, and the password has not been set, you get it yourself. If you want money, you can draw it from it, and I'm going out recently, and if nothing else, I'll get you another sum of cash before I leave. Yue Rong knew that the construction of the shelter alone would cost a lot of money, and he had to go out to the western frontier to buy guns and ammunition, and if he didn't leave some money, it would not be a trivial matter if the construction period was delayed.
Yue Gang looked at the dozen or so credit cards and pursed his lips, "Brother, you and I have a deal." You're not fooling around this time, are you? I heard that you have spent more than 1 million yuan on the chicken farm over there, and this is more than a dozen credit cards to overdraw, our family is ordinary people, if there is no end times, how can we afford it? Yue Gang knew that his brother Yue Rong's income from working outside was not high, and his money was nothing more than borrowed money.
"Believe me, I don't know if I can have it in the future, spend more points now, and I will have more security in the future." Yue Rong patted Yue Gang on the shoulder and let out a long sigh. Thinking about the miserable scene of the last days, I only feel that if I really want to face such a world, it is better to commit suicide in this peaceful and prosperous world one day before the end of the world. That indescribable sorrow and fear weighed on his heart like a mountain of thousands of pounds, making him hardly dare to face it. However, for the sake of his family and friends, he can always force himself step by step to keep moving forward, moving forward, and moving forward!
Yue Gang didn't speak anymore when he heard this, but at this moment, the young elder brother actually looked a little like an old man in the twilight, giving people the feeling of being unusually desolate and weak. Liu Min sat on the other side, looking at the stack of credit cards, his eyes were shining, and he didn't notice Yue Rong's strangeness at all.
Yue Rong only sat for a while before leaving, he was going to find a place at night to cut open the safe in the storage space of the medical equipment, and see if there was any money in it, and how much money it was. If it weren't for the reluctance and pain of putting the safe into storage space before, he wouldn't have dragged it out until today. Originally, he wanted to wait a few more days, until the medic equipment had improved his physique a bit, and then he would take out the safe and open it. But time waits for no one, and he has almost no money left.
Yue Gang sent his brother Yue Rong out of the door, closed the door and turned around, just in time to see Liu Min holding the stack of credit cards to open the computer.
"What are you doing?" Yue Gang asked.
"I'll check how much I can overdraw." Liu Min didn't look back, and sat down in front of the computer.
"Then you can check it and change the password to my birthday." Yue Gang didn't care, sat down on the sofa, and took his mobile phone to look up information about the building. He had never studied architecture, and since his brother Yue Rong had given him the matter of building the shelter, he had to know more or less about it.
After less than 10 minutes, Liu Min excitedly shouted: "Husband, you can overdraft a total of 820,000 yuan on the card, let's buy a house." ”
Liu Min's words made Yue Gang stunned, looked up at her and said, "What house to buy?" He didn't understand what Liu Min meant at all.
Liu Min got up and sat next to Yue Gang, squeezed into his arms, pressed his little face to his chest, and said softly: "Look, your brother has his own house, we are all going to get engaged, and we don't have our own house yet." Didn't we save more than 70,000 yuan, and then overdraft about 200,000 yuan from those cards, we can buy a new house with two bedrooms and two living rooms. Then we will decorate it, buy some appliances and furniture, and then we will have our own new home. How wonderful! I did the math, and at most half of the overdraft limit on those cards would be enough. ”
Yue Gang was really frightened by his girlfriend Liu Min's words, and stood up suddenly, "My God, are you mistaken, you don't know what this money is for?" And it's an overdraft! Don't you know that the high interest rate after a credit card overdraft is overdue?! It's an investment of 400,000 yuan, do you think it's paper? After Yue Gang finished speaking, he felt that what he said was wrong, if the end of the world really came, who would be able to collect these high interest? Then he changed his words again.
"Even if no one comes to collect interest, when the end of the world comes, the house you bought will still have a fart, and there are zombies all around, you dare to live in the new house you bought? Moreover, these cards are left by my brother to do business, not to buy us a house, you have to figure it out! Yue Gang didn't understand what Liu Min thought.
"Nonsense, what kind of zombies in the last days, you also believe your brother's nonsense! It's better for me to buy a house than for him to mess around! Yue Gang got up very suddenly just now, she almost fell, plus Yue Gang said that she was very unhappy in her heart, and felt that Yue Gang didn't think about the two of them.
"What's wrong with my brother, won't you know the result in 4 days? If you're going to be so annoyed, go home! Yue Gang was very dissatisfied with Liu Min's performance in the past two days, and couldn't help but increase his tone.
When Liu Min heard this, he sat on the sofa and lowered his head and sobbed, looking pitiful, which made Yue Gang head and two, and he didn't feel that he was persuaded or not.
