Chapter 1488 Thirty-Five Tons of Gold!!!
Headquarters of Guangdong Provincial People's Bank.
Underground floor, vault.
After Li Tie and others entered the vault, they were shocked by the gold and 100-yuan cash bills in front of them.
Even though these cash are now just a pile of waste paper, they were legal tender before the end of the world. They had never seen so much cash.
This underground floor is thousands of square meters. Looking up, there are rows and rows of cash and gold on the shelves, which is shocking.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
Holding their breath and looking at the gold and banknotes in front of them, cheers broke out after a few seconds.
"Gold! All gold! This is too much!"
"This is the first time I have seen so much gold!"
Li Tie walked to the shelf amid cheers and reached out to pick up a piece of gold.
However, he didn't expect that he couldn't lift the brick-sized gold with one hand.
After taking a closer look at these gold bricks, each one has a number on it, and 25KG is written on the front.
A piece of gold weighs fifty kilograms.
Li Tie reached out with both hands and picked up a piece of gold. It was heavy and substantial.
He casually threw the piece of gold on the ground, clang!
It made a crisp sound when it hit the floor.
I don't know what material this floor is made of, and even fifty kilograms of gold didn't crack.
The team members around saw so much gold, perhaps because of their deep love for gold, which made them extremely excited.
Some people took the gold down and piled it into a stool, sat on it, took a bundle of banknotes, and lit a cigarette with the banknotes.
Some people lay directly on the gold, feeling the feeling of sleeping on gold.
"Huang Feng, go and count how much gold there is in here." Li Tie looked around at the team members around him and didn't stop them. He quietly put the piece of gold back on the shelf and said to a subordinate next to him.
To count the amount of gold, it is impossible to estimate it by visual inspection.
"Okay, captain." Huang Feng nodded excitedly and began to count.
The gold here is placed on shelves that are similar to shelves, but the shelves are obviously much stronger than those in supermarkets.
It is also easy to count. First, count how many pieces of gold there are on each shelf, then see how many kilograms of gold there are on the shelf, count how many shelves there are, and you can calculate how many tons of gold there are.
They counted very quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, Huang Feng and his men counted out the gold in the vault. During their counting, the others were not idle either, and ran to the heavy truck to take down the stair climber and cart.
Huang Feng ran to Li Tie with excitement, and reported with a flushed face:
"Captain, there are a total of 35 tons of gold here, divided into two specifications, 50KG a piece and 25kg a piece of gold brick."
"35 tons?"
Even though he knew that the amount should be quite large after seeing so much gold, Li Tie was still shocked by the number.
After all, in the past five or six years, the cities around the Dazhangshu base have been basically swept clean, and the entire southern part of Gan Province, and even the banks in several cities in the southern part of Xiang City have been swept, but there are only tens of tons of gold.
Unexpectedly, there are 35 tons of gold in this vault.
It is worthy of being a provincial-level People's Bank! And it was the People's Bank of Guangdong Province, which had a relatively developed economy before the end of the world.
"Okay."
Li Tie took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and shouted to everyone:
"Brothers, you have made enough trouble, start moving the gold!"
"Yes!" Everyone howled and started moving the gold.
They adopted a relay method of moving, first moving the gold from the second floor of the basement to the first floor.
After reaching the ground floor, they could use a cart, and then use the cart to push it outside and move it onto the car.
The ground floor was a little dim, and in order to ensure that there would be no wall-climbing zombies during the transportation, they placed part of the ultraviolet lamp here.
Fifty-two people, except for a few people on duty, were moving gold.
They moved from 2:30 in the afternoon until 5:00 in the afternoon and finally moved all the gold out.
In the vault, a large space was filled with red banknotes, but banknotes had no attraction to them. Now it was almost the same as a piece of waste paper, or even worse than waste paper. At least waste paper would not slip when wiping buttocks, but banknotes could not wipe buttocks cleanly.
Huh——
Cannon sat on the steps in front of the People's Bank building, supporting his body with his hands behind him.
Sweat dripped onto the steps, but soon evaporated.
The weather has been really hot recently, and it was still hot even though it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
There were a lot of zombies gathered outside.
He was dazed as he watched the zombies outside the car wall roaring.
He had been carrying for two hours, and his physical strength was greatly consumed.
He suddenly stopped to rest and felt a little confused and empty.
It seemed that the roar of the zombies in his ears had slowly disappeared, and he slowly lay back on the steps.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, his head was thinking of nothing.
Not far from Cannon.
Wu Dazun stood beside the truck and asked the team members to fill the fuel in the oil barrels carried by the heavy truck to other armored vehicles to reduce the weight of the heavy truck.
Thirty-five tons of gold, a heavy truck with a load of thirty tons, is enough to accommodate these gold.
Due to its high density, one ton of gold is only a little over 0.05 cubic meters. The same volume of gold is nearly 20 times heavier than water.
Putting thirty-five tons of gold on a heavy truck still feels a little empty.
However, these golden components are too solid, and putting them all on would already be overloading.
Including other items, such as ammunition, cutting machines, fuel, etc., the vehicle's carrying capacity has exceeded forty tons.
Therefore, Wu Dazun asked people to fill up all the fuel in the armored vehicle in order to reduce the load of the heavy truck.
But even if all the armored vehicles were filled with fuel, the load of this heavy truck still reached forty tons.
However, in the apocalypse, overloading does not pose a particularly big hidden danger.
Before the end of the world, it was difficult for many heavy truck drivers to make money without risking overloading.
Overloaded by 30% to 50%, sparse and normal.
Even if it is discovered, it will only be deducted a point and fined several hundred.
It’s the end of the world now and there are no laws.
But the only problem is that overloading will extend the braking distance. This is because overloading will increase the load on the vehicle, thereby affecting the vehicle's braking performance and stability, ultimately leading to longer braking distances.
Therefore, heavy trucks need to be farther away from the vehicles in front and behind them to avoid collisions.
At night, they were like yesterday. Most of them went to the second underground floor to rest, leaving a few people watching the armored vehicles above.
Second floor of the basement, vault.
After Sun Ji led people to check the ventilation ducts in the vault, he sat down on a bundle of banknotes and said to Li Tie next to him:
"Captain, the ventilation duct here is very small, and there is a fence blocking it, so wall-climbing zombies cannot get in."
"Yes, I understand. Tomorrow we will go to Shuibei, Shenzhen City, so that everyone can rest early." Li Tie nodded and replied.
Shenshi Shuibei is very close to them. They have come here, so it would be a pity not to go there.
Although the heavy truck has already loaded more than 30 tons of gold, the armored vehicle has a very strong load capacity. In addition, the gold is small in size. Even if another 30 tons are spread out, it can be loaded into four armored vehicles.
Big camphor tree base.
The fourth outer city.
Sanqing Palace.
Master Hu pushed his wheelchair alone to the viewing platform outside.
The viewing platform should be the most scenic location in the Fourth Outer City. It is a built platform with an area of about fifty or sixty square meters. The fence is made of cement and steel bars, but a shovel is used to create bark patterns on it. At first glance, it looks similar to a tree, but when you touch it, you can clearly tell that it is cement.
The evening breeze is gentle.
Master Hu pushed his wheelchair to the platform alone.
The wind made him feel comfortable, and the lights on the inner city wall in the distance flickered, forming a corridor of lights.
The fourth outer city is relatively large and has very few buildings. Most of them are greenhouses, so the view is very good. Looking over this mountain, it looks very empty.
swish swish——
The evening breeze blew the leaves outside the fence, like giving someone an ear massage.
Master Hu gently closed his eyes. He felt very comfortable living here.
Perhaps because he is less stressed and in a better mood, he has been in much better shape recently.
The condition also seems to have eased a lot.
Of course, this is related to the acupuncture and Chinese medicine conditioning that Qingyang gives him every week.
After a few days, if he can stand up, he will start to learn a set of health-preserving boxing techniques from Qingyang to exercise his body.
Just like Qingyang said, strengthening one's own physical fitness is the foundation.
"Donor Li."
The voice coming from behind made Master Hu open his eyes.
He pushed the wheels of his wheelchair and turned his head to see Qingyuan.
Qingyuan is tall and thin, wearing a Hunyuan bun. Under the blowing of the night wind, his broad sleeves and robes are fluttering, and he looks a bit fairy-like.
"Taoist Priest Qingyuan."
Qingyuan came over and stood side by side with Mr. Hu in the wheelchair beside the fence.
The reason why Qingyuan called him Donor Li was because Master Hu asked him to. Since the Southern Paradise is no longer there, Master Hu no longer exists.
His real name is Li Qilan, and he has the same surname as Li Yu.
So Qingyuan called him Benefactor Li.
"Donor Li, are you feeling better?"
Hearing this, Master Hu smiled and said, "It's much better."
As he said this, he was quite emotional.
"These days living in the mountains are the most comfortable days in my life. I listen to the bells and the wind every day, look at the flowers and plants, and don't have to worry about anything. It's very relaxing."
Qingyuan said softly: "Don't be burdened by worldly things, and don't worry about the past."
"The heart is as clear as ice, the sky is falling and it is not shocked by the changes, it is still calm, the spirit is calm, the dust is not stained, the world is not stained, the void is peaceful, and there is nothing in it."
Qingyuan recited the Taoist Qing Xin Jue to Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu extended his hands and cupped his fists and thanked:
"Thank you, Taoist Priest Qingyuan."
inner city.
Li Yu held Li Pingan, who was nearly eight or nine months old, and rocked him from side to side.
After seeing Li Ping'an sleeping, he gently placed Li Ping'an on the small bed.
Squeak!
Suddenly there was a sound of opening the door.
Li Yu quickly turned his head and put his index finger to his lips, "Shh!"
Then he looked at Li Pingan and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Pingan was not woken up.
Turning his head again,
He saw Yutong pointing outside and mouthing: "Second uncle is here."
Li Yu tiptoed to the door, and Yutong arrived at the door.
Yutong asked softly: "Are you asleep?"
Li Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Well, I finally fell asleep after shaking for nearly an hour. It was too noisy."
It's so hard to raise a baby, but luckily I have mother and father Li to help. He can come over occasionally to take care of the baby.
He looked at Yutong and asked, "Second uncle is here?"
"Yes, it's in the reception room downstairs." Yutong nodded.
"Okay, I'll go down first."
Downstairs reception room.
Li Yu walked downstairs and heard the conversation below. ah
"Brother, Xiaoyu and Xiaohang are both married and have children. The two boys in my family haven't even pronounced their horoscopes yet. It's really worrying. Sigh."
"Second brother, don't worry, Haoran and Haoxian are still young, maybe they will be there in two years."
"You're not young anymore, Haoran is already 25."
"Second uncle." Li Yu walked down and saw his second uncle sitting on the sofa chair chatting with his father.
"Xiaoyu is here." After seeing Li Yu, the second uncle interrupted the chat with Li's father.
Li Yu sat opposite his second uncle and asked:
"Second uncle, what do you want from me?"
Second uncle must have something important to come over at night, otherwise there would be no need to make a special trip here.
"We found a treasury over there at Tiezi, thirty-five tons of gold!"
"In addition, they are going to Shuibei Gold Wholesale Market tomorrow."
Hearing this number, Li Hongyuan, who had not planned to interrupt, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he exclaimed: "Thirty-five tons!"
ton!
The second uncle nodded and said: "Yes, after all, it is the provincial head office of the People's Bank of China, and it has relatively large gold storage."
Li Yu was not too surprised. This number was within his expectation.
He was more concerned about the fact that this time Li Tie led the team out to train the commandos. He was eager to improve the combat strength of the entire Da Zhangshu base.
Whether at the headquarters base or in the oil city, training is being strengthened.
The expanded militia team is now undergoing intensive training.
There has been no movement in the northwest, or there has been some action, but they don't know.
Now I am waiting to meet the big boss in the West Market in nine days.
"Very good." Facing what his second uncle said, Li Yu nodded and said.
The second uncle looked at Li Yu and then at his eldest brother.
The conversation changed.
"Xiaoyu, I came here tonight not mainly to talk to you about this matter, but to have other things."
"Second uncle, please tell me."
The second uncle sighed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"I still feel a little unsafe about you going to West City in a few days!"
"Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of people in the Da Zhangshu base. As the city lord, it would be unwise for you to go there in person. If that big boss has evil intentions and designs an ambush, if something happens to you, the consequences will be disastrous."
"So I still suggest that someone else goes there on your behalf."
"Whenever I think about you running there by yourself these days, I'm so worried that I can't sleep. Look at my hair, it's turned gray a few times."
The second uncle said, and then said to Li Hongyuan: "Brother, please help me persuade him. What does it sound like for a city lord to always run away?"
After Li Hongyuan heard this, he quickly advised:
"Yes, Xiaoyu, your second uncle is right. It would be nice for you to stay at the Da Zhangshu base peacefully. Why do you have to run out and take such a big risk?"
The second uncle followed Li Hongyuan's words and continued to persuade:
"Xiaoyu, if nothing else, you must consider Yutong and Xiaopingan."
The two took turns to persuade, which gave Li Yu a headache.
Staying at the Da Zhangshu base gave him the feeling of being in a birdcage.
Sometimes he would think that those emperors in ancient times would have suffered more if they stayed in the palace for decades, and how they could get through it.
Moreover, he also had a reason to go there in person.
"Dad, second uncle, I understand everything you said. Don't worry, I will pay attention."
"Now I have made an agreement with the northwest boss to meet the leaders of both sides. Moreover, I always feel that only by having a face-to-face chat with that boss can we truly avoid large-scale conflicts in the future."
