Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's cheers, Wen Wen's handsome face was as red as blood. Could it be that in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, he was only worth a bottle of facial cleanser?
The evil fire in his heart nearly caused him to lose all reason. He wanted to fight and perish together with Zhang Xiaoqiang. However, the iciness on his eyelids never left, causing him to forcefully suppress his anger.
Wen Wen did not move in the slightest in the face of the steel nails flying towards him. He allowed the steel nails to pierce his body. Suddenly, he waved his left hand and ruthlessly swatted at Cat Eyes's eyes. At the same time he swatted out, the dagger hidden at his side moved like a viper. Following the force of the twisting waist, it cut straight towards Cat Eyes's white and tender neck.
"What's with the fake rice stamps?
It's the cause of time. Have you caught the mastermind yet? "
Just as Wen Wen was about to deliver a killing blow to Cat Eyes, he saw Wen Wen's left hand suddenly slap empty air. His body leaped forward. Just at this moment, his killing blow also fell empty air. Because he twisted his waist forcefully, he completely lost his balance. He spun like a spinning top and fell into the dust. When he landed, Wen Wen involuntarily waved the dagger at his side. He didn't want Cat Eyes to get close to him. Only when the sharp nails of an ice-cold right hand latched onto his eyelids did he gasp for breath and stop struggling. He became motionless like a corpse.
Wang Le nodded his head and turned to leave. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Huang Tingwei with doubt and asked:
"Doesn't the camp always have food reserves?
Why is there such a big difference?
How many tons of rice stamps did we issue? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded at Wang Le and sat in the main seat. He unzipped his battle armor and said to Wang Le, "Let's wait first. Wait for Zhang Huai An and Huang Quan to come over. Also, find the doctor for me. We're going to have a meeting."
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't understand. This run on the bank had nearly forced the camp to a dead end. However, this shouldn't have happened. The camp had been using all kinds of resources to buy back the rice stamps. Zhang Huai An's restaurant also bought back quite a lot every day. Yet, there just had to be a lack of food. This puzzled him and he suspected that someone was behind all this.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to get involved with Zhao Xiaobo. He also didn't want to get involved with the women's camp. He wasn't a very generous person, so he let Zhang Huai An and Zhao Xiaobo discuss what to do next. He held Blackie's hand and led the introspective Yang Ke-er and the other girls to the camp. Beside him, Huang Tingwei and Lu Xiaobo reported on everything that had happened these days.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't feel happy about extorting a hundred and eighty tons of food. On the contrary, he felt depressed. When he arrived at the camp, he chased Blackie into a vegetable watering pond amidst the chaotic crowd. He let the mutated water snake take a bath in the pond while he brought Huang Quan and Lu Xiaobo to the conference room. When he entered the conference room, Wang Le was already sitting there waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang let out a breath of resentment in his heart and loudly praised Cat Eyes. Cat Eyes had avenged a large number of her fellow men. She deserved Zhang Xiaoqiang's special care.
Wen Wen approached quickly. He already understood that smiling and flying knives were ineffective. He was ready to get serious. When he was within five meters, Wen Wen let out a loud roar. His left hand suddenly threw out a large handful of steel nails. The three-inch steel nails scattered in the air and headed straight for Cat Eyes's eyes. Following that, Wen Wen instantly accelerated and went straight for Cat Eyes. His right hand used a strange posture to hold the short knife upside down. He tried his best to stick the blade to his sleeve. Only one person saw the short knife in his hand — Zhang Xiaoqiang.
The cause was that a small power had received fake rice bills during their daily transactions. They were originally made to look like the real thing, but the counterfeiter was too cowardly. When he saw a group of people staring at him, he was scared out of his wits and revealed the fake rice bills. This made the leader of the power believe that he had discovered a golden opportunity to get rich.
The camp issued rice bills out of thin air. This was a rather conservative move. This was because rice bills weren't only used to exchange for food. They involved all sorts of supplies and daily necessities. It was just that the people in the assembly area only cared about food in times of crisis. That was why there were people inciting discord and causing a run on them.
Three silver lights shot towards Cat Eyes once again. At the same time they shot out, Wen Wen activated Charge. As he charged, silver lights shot out from his hand one after another. They chased after the silver light in front of him and enveloped Cat Eyes's entire body.
Cat Eyes received Zhang Xiaoqiang's reward. What she cared about the most was her face. She appeared to be very happy. The corner of her mouth faintly perked up. It could be considered a smile.
"We've captured a total of three hundred people. Among them, two hundred are poor people temporarily hired to move food. Their leader has already gone into hiding. We haven't found any traces of him up until now. Zhang Xiaoqiang, how do you think we should deal with them?"
From the beginning to the end, to the exchange at the final juncture, everything was a coincidence. The camp didn't suffer any substantial damage, but it exposed their greatest weakness.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Just as he walked over, Huang Quan saw Zhao Xiaobo's unnatural expression. Zhao Xiaobo didn't look at him. Instead, he stared at Chen Ye, who was beside Huang Quan. Chen Ye had already taken off the black cloth covering her face. After so many days, she was used to exposing her face. She saw Zhao Xiaobo looking at her and flashed a smile at him. Her right hand, however, wrapped around Huang Quan's left arm, declaring her sovereignty over him.
"We've issued a total of eight hundred tons of rice bills. Among them, we've taken back and distributed them again. They've formed a rolling currency that gradually replaced the previous currency units. Actually, we don't have a lot of food to begin with, and we're using rice bills every day for some transactions or rewards. That's why we've overdrawn ourselves.
This time, everyone could clearly see that a flash of silver light had arrived in front of Cat Eyes. Cat Eyes seemed to be standing calmly.
In reality, her body was faintly trembling. Every time she trembled, the silver light that flew over would fall behind her.
Huang Tingwei had been waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang to ask. He adjusted his glasses when he heard what Zhang Xiaoqiang said and explained everything in detail to him.
Everyone present was astonished. Only Zhang Xiaoqiang wasn't surprised. He had seen everything clearly from beginning to end. He was fairly confident in Cat Eyes's abilities. Long range attacks were ineffective against Cat Eyes.
Apart from this, our official members receive five catties of rice bills as an allowance every day. The militiamen receive two catties, and the sailors receive one catty. They themselves consume a large amount of food, and the rice bills are their welfare. The rice bills we issue are also used by them outside. Because of this, a large amount of rice bills flowed into the assembly grounds.
The smiling Wen Wen raised his right hand as though he was picking a flower and gently touched his collar. It seemed as though he wanted to tidy up his clothes. Just as he reached his collar, the web between his thumb and forefinger flipped outwards like lightning. At the same time, a silver light flew towards Cat Eyes's hanging right hand. The silver light disappeared as soon as it appeared. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Cat Eyes. Cat Eyes didn't make any movements, but the silver light seemed to pierce through her right hand and stabbed deeply into the ground.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang heard this, he pressed his thumbs against his temples. He squinted his eyes and massaged his acupuncture points. After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes and squeezed out a word from the gaps of his teeth, "Kill …"
In other words, our true food reserves are only half of the nominal value of the rice bills. Up until now, including the compensation Officer Zhang received, we still have approximately one hundred and fifty tons of rice bills outside … "
Wen Wen's attack posture was extremely treacherous. He used the steel nails to obscure his opponent's line of sight and concealed a dagger in his hand. As long as he got close to Cat Eyes, he could take her by surprise and cut open her carotid artery.
Wen Wen's expression suddenly changed. His smile turned into astonishment and seriousness. He didn't clearly see what Cat Eyes did. Like everyone else, he only saw the silver light pierce through Cat Eyes's right hand out of thin air, as though it had passed through a projection.
Faced with the steel nails, Cat Eyes moved. Both her hands shot up, and her fingers repeatedly flicked between the steel nails, sending over ten of them flying. The flying steel nails flipped in the air without any pattern. Half of them spun as they flew towards the pouncing Wen Wen.
The greatest overdraft is in the area of books. Those people receive their wages once every day. We give them rice bills, and they exchange them for food reserves. The next day, the rice bills will be sent back to their hands, and they will exchange them again. This goes on and on. They provide us with books, and we provide them with food. The rice bills themselves are not damaged, only the food is damaged.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded his head. He didn't understand finance very well, but he knew that the so-called gold reserves were actually a method to safeguard the currency. Now, however, the gold reserves had become food reserves. The only difference was that the gold was there, and it wouldn't increase or decrease. The food reserves, on the other hand, were being consumed every day.
Zhang Huai An hastily went forward to discuss the handover with Wen Wen. At this time, Huang Quan, who was finishing up work in the distance, brought Chen Ye over. Everything that had happened before had already been reported to him by a team member. He believed that with Zhang Xiaoqiang here, there was no need for him to express anything. He obediently took inventory of the goods in the back.
