Chapter 276: Marianna Strait (1)
[Deploying the EMCC now…]
The balloon-shaped transport Zhang Qin Feng was on was deflated as another layer hidden within were setting up. It took the mechanism a while to put everything together, but it appeared to be a small double-yacht about 7 meters wide and 10 meters long when it was done.
It was built by Adam and Frank in a hurry. But they give no compromise on the protection it has to offer. Not only is the ship capable of withstanding the impact from dropping into the water, but not a single part of it was broken after that.
Once it was fully deployed, Zhang Qin Feng went outside and took a deep breath.
'I'm back!' Zhang Qin Feng screamed as he expressed his happiness for coming back to the modern world. Although he didn't actually suffer during these two months, whatever happened in the post-apocalypse is still an experience that he couldn't forget.
But in exchange for the effort to coming back here, he eventually controlled the entire Turbine Town. Also, he obtained the right to a Repopulation Shelter. The issue with the manpower can be said to be solved with two to five clones were produced daily.
Unfortunately, there's both good news and bad news from controlling the Repopulation Shelter.
Although he had access to the entire facility, it was exhausted from all the automated work for a whole decade. The facility right now is nothing more than a drying well that tried to suck the water to its last drop.
Zhang Qin Feng would need more than just maintenance to keep the shelter operating like before. By the mean of more than just maintenance, it's resources they're talking about here.
As for what resources it meant… It was a complicated matter.
What Zhang Qin Feng needed wasn't steel, soil, food, nor chemicals. Those were nothing in the eyes of the post-apocalypse, where the materials could be easily found, recycled, and replaced as long they had the sufficient technology and equipment to do so.
What he needed was something that surpassed the limit of human rights.
Blood. DNA samples. Male's semen and Female's unfertilized eggs. Internal organs, Flesh tissues, and many more. If he were to go extreme with it, Zhang Qin Feng would have to go against the morality of his modern world and deal with human trafficking.
Putting the issue on how to get all of this for him to bring them into the apocalypse, Zhang Qin Feng would have to solve where he would collect them.
It won't be as simple as visiting a hospital and telling the nurses or doctors that you'd like to purchase a large amount of human tissue, organs, semen, and unfertilized eggs.
While he was deep in his thought, Stein's notice caught Zhang Qin Feng's attention. It seems that because he was pretty preoccupied with his own opinion, he forgot about navigating his following route.
The few hours of randomly floating on the sea and followed the sea current brought him to a small island between Dongcheng, Han Country, and the Continent of Southern States.
(For those full of imagination, imagine Dongcheng as Taiwan, Han Country as Japan, and this small island in between is Macau or Hongkong. Also, shorten the sea distance between them. The Continent of Southern states is literally Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Philipines, forming into something like Australia + NZ. This is my world, so I'm just making it easy for you guys to imagine)
'System, what is this place?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.
Although he knew a few small and independent countries exist between Dongcheng and Han Country, he had no idea how they looked or what kind of life they had over there.
All he knew about them was the two giant countries were taking advantage of their natural resources in return for menial support and protection. It was cruel, but that was their fate as an independent country, barely a tenth of Dongcheng's landmass and population.
[Toot…]
[Based on the system's record, this place should be the Democratic Country of Marianna. Population, 60,000 people. Landmass: one-tenth of Dongcheng. Natural Resources: Rich]
[The record also stated that the locals' language here was similar to what Dongcheng and Han Country use. The majority of the locals here rely on farming and fishing to survive. Almost all the vital industries around here were under the control of private firms, especially medical, communication, mining, and so on]
Stein immediately reported what it known to Zhang Qin Feng without missing anything.
'Good job, now let us try to sail into the country quietly and see what we can do over there. I would like to contact Yufei and the others, but I'm sure that the situation won't be too good for me right now.' Zhang Qin Feng thought himself.
[Order received. Navigating to a secluded location in this Democratic Country of Marianna right now]
Standing on top of the sandy beach, Zhang Qin Feng inspects its serene surrounding. The double-yacht he's on was returning to its compact form the moment they landed on this island. It was a beautiful place, but unfortunately, under the control of a useless government and greedy corporations.
But this is precisely the place he's looking for right now. There's nothing more than he could ask for to complete what he needed to keep the Repopulation Shelter running.
Using the available cash he had in hand to curry the favor of the locals here, Zhang Qin Feng quickly got a place to stay and lay low while planning on what he could do here.
With Stein's help, many things could be done, but the hard part was how to make it go smoothly without too much problem.
Five days after he adapted to life in this independent country, it was finally time for Zhang Qin Feng to see what he could do to control this place from the shadows.
And the first destination of where he would go for is definitely the presidential palace, where this country's useless and corrupted ruler is living.
He would felt no remorse at all, even if he was forced to kill this person. From word of mouth by the people living on this island, this president has been selling the country's riches for the sake of his own luxurious lifestyle.
"I'm no hero, but I'm no demon either. This is just business, president." Zhang Qin Feng said as he sat before the president with a suppressed Delta-Model Pistol pointing at his chest.
