—————

In the early morning of the next day, in Cai Ruichen's office, Al Yesel put a thick document on his desk.

The day before yesterday, after Cai Ruichen made a sudden move and killed the bald mutant woman with leadership ability, the others also worked together to kill all the second-level mutants, and finally successfully resisted the mutants' attack.

Afterwards, there was only an empty city left in Mozabi County, and the remaining scattered mutants were wiped out by the troops entering the city without even stirring up a splash.

The next two days of collection work, banks, government offices and enterprises have all become the focus of collection.

Those ordinary residential houses were not spared either.

In two days, 30 armed mining vehicles were dispatched from the base of Wasteland World, and hundreds of vehicles of garbage were transported to the ore refining plant every day for recycling.

It took two days to clean up the main areas of the entire county.

Fortunately, I don't know if it's because of the mutants. Except for the few mutant mice I encountered at the beginning, no other mutant creatures were found in the entire county.

In the end, all valuable things were collected, and of course those written property documents such as bonds and real estate certificates that were useful in peacetime were treated as garbage and recycled.

Because from that moment on, everything in the entire county was branded with the words Cai Ruichen, all of which belonged to him.

How much wealth does a county have? It is estimated that many people, like Cai Ruichen, do not have a specific concept.

Because it also deducts those fixed real estate, and only counts the valuable items that can be traded. In fact, it is really not much.

There are twelve banking institutions in the county seat, the largest of which is the People's Bank of Iraq, which is also the financial center of Iraq's national finances.

Just because of the administrative level, there are not many assets in the People's Bank of Iraq.

Those banknotes are no different from waste paper. Naturally, it cannot be circulated in this world. In the wasteland, even wipes are worth more than banknotes.

However, Cai Ruichen did not destroy these banknotes.

Because he doesn't know whether these currencies will be useful in the future, or whether they will be kept intact in the bank.

Among them, the most valuable is the foreign currency reserves in the Mozabi branch of the People's Bank of Iraq. Among them, there are 20 million U.S. dollar reserves alone, and about 5 million euros. And tens of millions of Russian rubles, as well as currencies of other countries.

It's just that these currencies are all the same as the Iraqi dinar, and they are all new versions of currencies that have not yet appeared in this world.

Fortunately, the years on these currencies will start to be issued in two or three years. Cai Ruichen can afford to wait for two or three years.

And with this amount of foreign currency, even if it can really be circulated in this world, it is actually completely useless.

It's the gold and jewels that are really valuable, and of course there are plenty of merchandise. These are likely to become commodities for sale in the present world.

What disappointed him was that there were indeed a lot of things in the county, but there were not many gold and other items at all.

The vaults of all the banks and all the gold in the county were collected, less than five tons.

At current gold prices, five tons of gold is actually worth more than 200 million U.S. dollars.

Other jewelry and other things will not add up to more than 200 million US dollars.

In fact, it's almost the same when you think about it. After all, the population is only about 200,000, and not everyone is so rich.

Except for those banknotes. The combined value of those precious metals is also limited.

And those art films, in the present world, are only unknown. At least Cai Ruichen has not seen a famous art film in this world.

However, after collecting and scraping the entire county, I still found a more valuable thing.

A diamond weighing 288 carats is displayed in the Iraqi National Art Exhibition Hall in the center of the county. The diamond is star-shaped and has a total of 54 facets.

And this diamond is called the Star of Babylon. Cai Ruichen has never heard of it in reality.

The largest diamond ever carved in this world is the Heart of the Ocean set in the Crown of the Queen of England.

And diamonds over 100 carats are all recorded, but I have never heard of the existence of the Star of Babylon.

Moreover, Cai Ruichen has never heard of the star-shaped diamond carving, because it is too difficult to carve a rough diamond into the shape of a five-pointed star and cut out 54 faces.

Regardless of how this diamond appeared, the value of this diamond is definitely more than those of gold and treasures. It is probably almost a national treasure in wasteland Iraq.

It's just that Cai Ruichen has no interest in these things, no matter how beautiful something is, it's just a thing.

However, Cai Ruichen still put away this gem and the gem box that also looked expensive.

In his words, if one day the economy is difficult, it will be auctioned off. Of course, it is also possible to use it to deceive girls.

Of course, this is just talk. After all, this gemstone is really precious, especially the carving technique, which is even more unique. It would be a pity if it was really put up for auction.

After all, money can hardly buy such a unique thing.

Fortunately, if those gold and jewels are sold in the present world, it can also alleviate the financial difficulties for a period of time in the future.

With the existence of the base, Cai Ruichen doesn't need to purchase equipment from outside at all, and the cost is super cheap. What needs to be paid is only some material costs, and the cost of workers.

With the help of more than 400 million U.S. dollars in funds, the size of the Future Technology Group can be expanded by at least ten times in a short period of time.

Of course, there is another thing that makes Cai Ruichen depressed, and that is the food.

In the entire county, there is not much edible food to be found. It is the same as what I encountered in Shaxi Town, not to mention staple food products such as rice, and even those canned and packaged fast food. .

In this regard, Cai Ruichen can only guess that it was related to being looted before the disaster. After all, there are obvious signs of looting everywhere in the county.

But with the current surviving population base, where did the looted food go? Could it be that the vehicles that fled the city were all burned?

Cai Ruichen didn't know, and neither did the others, but looting was a real thing, and Niu Daheng also said such a thing.

It's just that it's really hard to imagine that a huge county, several granaries, and several food processing factories can't find a grain of grain?

Even the large freezer for quick-frozen food is empty.

In response to this matter, Eler Yesel who submitted the report said: "Maybe those mutants will also eat, who knows!" (To be continued.)
