Where Are My Supplies?!

Zamiin Uud, meaning "Gateway to the Road," is a border city in southeastern Mongolia, bordering Erenhot City in China. Erenhot, which is close to the Chinese border, is the first stop on the China-Mongolia Railway after it enters Mongolia from China, and is one of the important transit points for goods.

Around 2004, Mongolia established a free trade zone here. After obtaining a visa in Erenhot and passing through the customs of both countries, it only takes about ten minutes to walk to Zamiin Uud.

Thanks to the free trade zone,

Although Zamiin Uud is only a county-level city, its economy is relatively developed compared to other parts of Mongolia.

So much so that it's even called "Little Hong Kong".

certainly,

The people of Hong Kong are definitely not happy about this. So, who are you trying to insult?

Li Yao and Hua Ge rested for a day in Erenhot City. The next day, they entered Mongolia through proper procedures and then actually strolled to Zamiin Uud —which felt quite strange.

This was probably Li Yao's first time going abroad.

I didn't expect him to be so careless and negligent.

Li Yao's feelings were somewhat complicated...

Look at how people sing it on Douyin.

"I want to take you to romantic Turkey, and then to Tokyo and Paris together."

Or it could be:

"Come with me, we'll go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, and we'll go to the bridge in Prague."

Take a romantic trip with your girlfriend to lay a solid foundation for your love!

And look at myself! I'm surrounded by a rough, unrefined guy! We didn't go to romantic Türkiye, nor to Paris with its Eiffel Tower!

Wronged!

Li Yao played on his phone as he walked. When they crossed the border, there were vendors selling local Mongolia SIM cards, but neither Li Yao nor Hua Ge bought any.

Joke!

Does this guy look like he's short of money?! Li Yao texted Lin Xiaowei on his phone. "Damn, Dad's been worrying himself sick over you, you actually ended up going abroad... Do you believe it when I tell you this?!"

What's it like going back to the countryside?!

Lin Xiaowei was surprisingly online this time. She replied, "Oh my, you've gone abroad? Come on, let me see if the moon is rounder overseas!"

Li Yao took some short videos and sent them over. "That's it! Round?!"

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

It is indeed a bit shabby.

She comforted him, "My dear, once this is done, I will reward you handsomely!"

Li Yao: "..."

This guy is getting more and more self-important! Just as he was about to retort, Hua Ge reminded him, "Our backup is here."

Li Yao put away his phone and looked into the distance.

Three Dongfeng Jeep roared in, kicking up clouds of dust—the scene truly evoked the feeling of the American West, desolate and wild. If the Dongfeng Jeeps were replaced with horses, it would be even more fitting.

soon,

Several white-skinned Russians got off the vehicle. They were covered in dust, wearing thick cotton-padded coats, and had stubble on their faces, looking rather down on their luck.

That's a bit lacking!

This doesn't look like someone from the underworld.

Look at the Godfather movie, all those guys with slicked-back hair and suits, looking like they belong in high society. This place really feels like a gang from the outskirts of the city.

The Russian man who got off the bus saw Hua Ge Hua Ge, grinned, and gave him a big bear hug.

They greeted each other warmly in Russian.

Hua Ge also chatted with them in Russian in a friendly manner.

Anyway, Li Yao couldn't understand what they were saying, so he just stayed in the background.

Mongolia is a completely landlocked country with no coastline—yet it miraculously possesses a navy of seven men. The climate here is also typical of the north, dry and cold, with the northwest winds blowing like knives, stinging your face.

Although Li Yao's physical condition has improved a lot compared to before, he can't withstand the attack of the Mongolia cold wind!

He'd been standing in the wind for ages, and he was practically stale!

then,

He secretly cast a protective spell on himself, his psionic energy spreading across his entire body to keep out the cold wind.

With the comfortable temperature returning, Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief!

Ha, that's awesome! And look at Hua Ge and that Russian guy, still chatting away... Damn it, they're all shivering and stamping their feet, rubbing their hands, occasionally shivering like bears. Don't you guys think it'd be more comfortable chatting in the car? Ah! Never mind...

None of that matters now.

Li Yao leisurely observed the scenery of northern Mongolia from the side.

It is winter now. In cities near the border of China, traces of human activity can still be seen, and faint buildings can be seen lying in the distance. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast and boundless wilderness, where camel thorns and desolate smoke blend together to form a landscape of northern desert.

—A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the desert, while the setting sun hangs round over the long river.

When Li Yao finally saw the scenery of the northern desert, he was filled with admiration for Wang Wei, who could write such a poem—in just ten words, he captured the very soul of the northern desert!

On the other hand, which of the poems that have survived thousands of years and are still passed down is not a treasure?

This is probably the most fascinating aspect of Chinese civilization.

Over the long course of time, so many brilliant and magical civilizations have vanished. Ancient Egypt and ancient India exist in name only, while ancient Babylon is reduced to mere legends.

Only China,

It was on the verge of extinction several times, but miraculously survived!

Why? Because this unique geographical location and distinctive cultural spirit have long been ingrained in the blood of the Chinese people.

When chaos descends, there are always those brave and courageous individuals who raise their banners and the Scream: "The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen!"

there,

Hua Ge finally finished communicating with the Russian man and turned to Li Yao, saying, "Alright, they're taking us to inspect the goods. Let's get in the car."

Once in the car, Hua Ge, shivering, exclaimed, "Why is it so cold up north!"

Li Yao asked, puzzled, "Then why did you chat with them outside for so long?"

Hua Ge said, "What if we can't reach an agreement in the car?"

Li Yao: "..."

Okay,

Indeed, everything that exists has a reason.

Once they were in the car, Li Yao asked, "Hua Ge, these Russian men must deal with China a lot, right? Can't they learn some Chinese?"

Hua Ge: "Chinese is so difficult, it's hard to learn."

Li Yao opened his mouth.

It actually makes a lot of sense!

The inventory was no longer stored in Zamiin Uud -Zamiin Uud, but in a wilderness thirty kilometers away, where they had built their own warehouse. But when they actually arrived at the location, Li Yao wondered—perhaps these people had some misunderstanding about what a warehouse was?

The main structure is built using trusses and plastic film, and then covered with a layer of camouflage shade netting and felt.

This is the warehouse...

Li Yao has certainly broadened his horizons on this trip.

really,

Novels and movies are all lies. People in this industry may make a lot of money, but they definitely won't use it to build nice warehouses or create a base or anything like that... The ultimate goal of making money is to enjoy life.

Not for making movies!

It seems that this kind of hasty and casual architecture is what life should truly be like.

That's so damn down-to-earth!

After exchanging a few words with Hua Ge, the burly Russian Hua Ge translated for Li Yao: "Everything we need is inside."

After saying that,

Hua Ge took a list from the other person and said, "Let's go in, I'll help you check it."

Li Yao asked in surprise, "Hua Ge knows about this?"

Hua Ge smiled and said, "To make a living, you have to know a little bit about everything."

Okay,

Li Yao realized that Hua Ge was a truly multi-talented person; he could speak Russian and even knew about things like gun production lines.

Accompanied by Hua Ge, it took them almost two hours to finish inventorying the supplies in the greenhouse warehouse.

Finally,

Hua Ge said, "They're all things that were said to be good, but they're not bad either."

This is the benefit of knowing people.

Based on mutual trust, people won't do anything unreliable, which is why many shady transactions require intermediaries.

Since Hua Ge nodded, Li Yao decided not to conduct a follow-up examination.

He said to Hua Ge, "Go outside and wait for me. We'll settle the final payment in a bit."

Hua Ge nodded and went out.

Once everyone was out of the greenhouse, Li Yao stretched out his hand, his mental energy spreading out. The magical runes on his Space Ring glowed faintly, and the phase outline of the Demi-Plane slowly spread out, gently enveloping the supplies!

This process is a bit slow and consumes a lot of mental energy.

If it weren't for the mage, just packing up all the supplies in this warehouse would be exhausting! Even with Li Yao's current mental strength, which allows him to analyze Second Circle Spell, it took him more than ten minutes to pack up all the supplies! After the supplies were cleared out, Li Yao rubbed his temples and walked out of the shed, saying to Hua Ge, "Let's settle the bill."

The final payment was deposited into the card yesterday. It's an anonymous savings card, and besides the ten million I gave to Hua Ge at the beginning, there's thirty-five million deposited in it.

The total cost of machine tools and ammunition production lines is 38 million.

besides,

Li Yao also purchased a total of seven million worth of gunpowder raw materials, finished gunpowder, seamless steel and finished seamless steel pipes—as well as some finished weapons and ammunition.

He had no doubt that Lin Xiaowei had the ability to produce gun parts.

But she still needs time to figure things out and adjust.

But war waits for no one! By preparing these supplies for Lin Xiaowei, Li Yao can enable her to have armed forces while conducting her research!

Whenever I think of this

Li Yao felt he was really worried sick about Lin Xiaowei! He had no idea what the generous reward she was talking about was. Li Yao handed the card to Hua Ge Hua Ge, who negotiated with them. After the Russian men confirmed the amount, they jumped into the jeep with smiles on their faces and drove off, kicking up clouds of dust.

As for the rest...

It's no longer their concern.

Aside from those supplies, all that's left here are some trusses and plastic sheeting. If Li Yao and the others want them, they can have them; they wouldn't mind burning them.

Hua Ge said with a smile, "They left a car for us, saying it was a gift for me."

Li Yao pursed his lips.

Since we can't drive back anyway, we'll definitely have to stay here once we reach the border.

Their people will just drive it back when the time comes.

Hua Ge, however, turned to look at the greenhouse behind him and said, "I've also contacted the transportation company. Where do you want to transport these things, Boss Li?"

Li Yao shook his head. "No need, let's go home."

Hua Ge:???

"You spent forty million just to come and take a look?" As if he had just thought of something, he suddenly rushed into the greenhouse.

in,

Empty! Hua Ge stared dumbfounded at the unusually spacious warehouse, completely bewildered: Where are my supplies?
