I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 830 - 920: Then Let’s Set Off, Shall We?

The owner of Shenyuan at the Xuwen Pier, the one who fell ill with a mysterious disease and was extremely sleepy, has greatly improved after taking Jing Shu’s medication. He used to sleep 23 hours a day, and now it’s down to 22 hours. His condition hasn’t worsened, and he’s even getting better!

This shows that Jing Shu’s medicine works! Improvement means hope, and he’s the only one among many patients who has shown any improvement!

So, to thank Jing Shu, she rented two more ferries from the owner of Shenyuan. Including the ’Red Flag’ and ’Blue Moon’ she previously acquired, she now has a total of four ferries.

But the Red Flag is mainly for passengers, with many rooms, making it inconvenient for cargo. It’s perfect for leaving as backup for the Cigarette Factory.

This time, Jing Shu is going to the Middle East to get supplies, taking the cargo ferry Blue Moon and the other two cargo ferries, determined to bring back loads of goods!

These three ferries are privately owned by Jing Shu. These are legitimate goods. That should be enough, right?

If there’s not enough space, Jing Shu plans to bring the swimming Hulk and the rotten mermaid to secretly carry more supplies. If necessary, she’ll resort to stealth tactics.

With the ferries ready, next comes the long journey and coordinating the resources and manpower needed along the way.

To save money and achieve the goal of zero-cost sourcing, all ferries going to the Middle East this time will be loaded with Rotten Corpse Insect Fuel, which is the cheapest option.

Of course, Jing Shu officially ordered fuel for the trip there, but secretly ordered another batch of Rotten Corpse Insect Fuel, hiding it in Hulk’s body. This way, they can use the fuel on the way back and save thousands of tons of fuel costs.

If there ends up being too much stuff to bring back, they can use the Rotten Corpse Insect Fuel to trade for other goods. After all, Hulk is carrying the supplies, and Jing Shu doesn’t get tired, so saving fuel wherever possible is the best approach.

Saving is earning.

One ferry is entirely managed by insect woman Xiao Wei and her tribe, so without outsiders, the trip will be more enjoyable. Of course, this ferry isn’t carrying Rotten Corpse Insect Fuel; instead, it’s loaded with many insects. Xiao Wei has brought formidable Engineer Insects this time, with excellent combat power.

As mentioned before, they’re there as Jing Shu’s overt security force. And if they encounter situations where they can’t openly loot, these insects can be used as food to trade for Middle Eastern specialties. It’s said that besides oil, they’re in dire need of food over there.

Xiao Wei can also bring many tunnel-digging insect eggs. This way, wherever they go, they can dig tunnels, ensuring their safety and allowing them to secretly acquire more supplies without anyone knowing.

The crew of the other two ferries is made up of members transferred from the Cigarette Factory Elite Team, a group of former Wu City Special Agents known for their huge appetites and strong spiritual power. After learning they would be going to the Middle East, Jing Shu has been training them intensively every day.

Now, their combat uniforms and weaponry are ready, and after such extensive training, their wilderness survival skills and ability to engage in maritime combat with pirates are solid. Zhao Yu, the one in charge of handling any issues later, is the scapegoat.

So, whatever happens, just look for Zhao Yu. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Finally, Jing Shu personally hired a medical team, led by the Chainsaw Maniac, Dr. Zhang, who is incredibly brave. The secretary is Danai Wang, Jing Shu’s former secretary at the Medicine Association.

The rest of the team going along are Jing Shu’s private staff, with a general manager, Zhang Yicheng, in charge of everything from meals to less pleasant tasks.

Of course, there’s also the most important person, Master Chef Brother Liang Xing and his apprentice.

The personnel arrangement is like this for now, and when it comes to supplies, Jing Shu is well-prepared. She’s so confident that aside from Rotten Corpse Insect Fuel, the three ferries are packed with all kinds of supplies, food, and drinks.

Considering there might be a water shortage in the Middle East, Jing Shu also brought dozens of large water storage tanks, just in case anything happens.

Zhang Yicheng hasn’t slept for days, and upon learning that Boss Jing was taking so much Pure Water to the Middle East, if it were any other boss, he would have cursed that they had lost their mind.

However! Considering the series of experiences with Boss Jing beforehand, Zhang Yicheng didn’t curse but secretly stored a few barrels of water in his own place. Anyway, there’s no going wrong with following Boss Jing!

The medical team even has a large warehouse stocked with medical supplies and equipment, practically a small hospital.

Anyway, when Jing Shu sets out, she always brings enough supplies to last for three years. As Zhang Yicheng puts it:

"Boss, with these supplies we’re bringing, we could live at sea for a year or two, completely isolated from the world, without any issues."

"Boss, it’s not like I’m jinxing us. I just think that you’re so well-prepared; maybe you really are planning for a prolonged operation? And, I don’t quite get why those energetic crew members from the Cigarette Factory brought ticks and materials?"

What do you intend to do?

Jing Shu chuckled, "This is called being prepared on all fronts. These things might just be scarce food here, but over there, they’re considered extremely rare delicacies. If there’s any left, we can trade it there for something else. Besides, those young guys are so full of energy every day, they need something to do. They can roll cigarettes, and when we get to our destination, we can sell them to the wealthy. 8 Virtual Coins each, and trading them for thousands of Virtual Coins’ worth of goods isn’t too much, right?"

Zhang Yicheng gave a thumbs up.

Listen! Listen!

Even capitalists would be moved to tears hearing this.

And those young guys couldn’t be more excited, overjoyed that they would finally lay hands on long-missed weapons in the Middle East, getting the chance to use real equipment in combat!

Most importantly, they get an extra meal each day, and everyone gets an additional two eggs and five slices of synthetic meat daily! Their smiles are stretching to the back of their heads.

...

"Grandma, stop sending me off, don’t give me more, or there will be nothing left at home. I promise to bring you more supplies when I return. I’m leaving now; the boat is waiting at the pier."

"Third Aunt, I’ll take all the pickles this time, and we’re also well supplied. Oh, by the way, the Cigarette Factory purchasing department is getting busier, so don’t run back and forth. Don’t worry about the canteen either. Make sure you and Uncle take good care of the Cigarette Factory. The important thing is, Grandpa’s working security at the Cigarette Factory, make sure he stays alert!"

"Alright, don’t worry. Aunt knows what she’s doing. A while ago, all the Wu City people came at once, and without experienced people in charge there, it didn’t work. Now that things are on track, I don’t have to worry about it. I’ll certainly manage the purchasing department of the Cigarette Factory well."

Grandma Jing glanced around and found there was nothing else to bring. Only then did she wave, "Go, go, and take care!"

Finally, Jing Shu officially boarded the ferry!

The journey to the Middle East begins!
