Lin Anquan said solemnly, "President Zhou, try to find a way to stall for two days. Kelly will be arriving with support soon."
What?
-----------------
The ti goes back to over a month ago. The ’primitive oil refining’ device had just started up, producing two to three tons of low-quality fuel every day.
At that ti, Zhou Qingfeng was still worrying because the oil tanks were nearly full, yet the equipnt couldn’t be stopped—should they consider selling the excess fuel externally?
This matter was initially entrusted to Kelly.
In fact, it was entrusted to the Connally family.
The sixty-sothing father Jeff Connally and his sister Jennifer Connally both believed that engaging in business was their family’s true occupation.
Selling oil was not smooth—selling locally was tantamount to aiding the enemy; selling too far posed transportation challenges. The result was simply not selling and using ’Katrina’ to deliver the extra fuel to other shelters.
But Kelly soon got inspired—North Arica now is completely in a state of anarchy, ’thriving, everything competing,’ but why focus solely on North Arica?
This place indeed has so ’high-tech’ industry remnants, but what the post-apocalyptic world urgently needs isn’t upscale goods; it needs basic survival supplies.
The strongest country producing such goods is on the other side of the ocean. ’Holy Light’ needs to find ways to seek external assistance!
Lin Anquan brought a group of ’Little Pingtous’, also indicating that ’Dongda’ is quickly recovering and is beginning to ’maintain world peace’.
Since we are to be traitors to the United States, why not go all the way? The Connally family isn’t pure-blooded United States citizens; they were immigrants early on, so why not mix in so Eastern blood?
Current satellite communications aren’t completely collapsed, Zhou Qingfeng is also registered with upper managent, allowing Kelly to swiftly connect with the ho country and inquire about the situation from various strata.
The answers received were similar to Lin Anquan’s news—the dostic situation is tough too, with population loss exceeding two-thirds within a year, economic devastation, and social operations nearly stalled.
Fortunately, our organization has a high degree of cohesion and quick recovery, and despite the remaining four to five hundred million population, our foundation is solid, currently eager to ’maintain’ the peace between Japan and Korea, and then turning to ’rebuild’ Southeast Asia.
As for the United States, the official capacity is currently lacking, but if ’Holy Light’ is willing to return and organize manpower and resources, the ho front won’t obstruct and will actively cooperate.
As for ’Holy Light’s assets in the ho country, particularly ’Electric Flight’, they still belong to Zhou Qingfeng’s private ownership, including bank accounts which remain active.
Zhou Qingfeng originally provided X Virus data, and the dostic front promised that if there were any proceeds from related research, he would receive a twenty percent share—this promise remains effective.
-----------------
Confirming that ’Dongda’ is recovering, Kelly did not hesitate for a mont, imdiately boarded the ’Katrina’ vessel and flew directly to the Los Angeles shelter.
There, hundreds of ’Holy Light’ core mbers were similarly gathered, storing the vast amounts of survival supplies Zhou Qingfeng had purchased in advance.
With the active coordination and assistance of the local shelter, Kelly found a fairly decent ’Gulfstream G650’ private jet at the desolate and silent Los Angeles International Airport.
This sleek, luxury vehicle was not only exceedingly comfortable but also boasted an intercontinental range effortlessly breaking the ten thousand kiloter barrier.
The pieced-together ground crew perford ticulous checks on this precious aircraft, and the pilot hired with canned goods carefully took off.
The ’Gulfstream G650’ circled twice over Los Angeles, with all critical systems running smoothly.
Subsequently, Kelly decisively arranged for personnel to secure a dozen hefty barrels of oil inside the spacious cabin of the ’Gulfstream G650,’ ensuring the aircraft had double the usual fuel supply.
Once everything was ready, this private airplane carrying hope took off from Los Angeles, crossing the vast Pacific Ocean with hours of silent flight, finally landing at Shanghai Airport on the Far Eastern continent.
Returning with Kelly was Xiao Jinlang and half a ton of gold previously stored. This batch of shining precious tal would serve as the basic startup capital to restart the large machinery of ’Electric Flight.’
Before the virus wreaked havoc, Zhou Qingfeng had been considerate to the employees and even suppliers of ’Electric Flight.’ He made special use of his funds and influence to secure tens of thousands of precious vaccines for them.
Despite the strong immune evasion capacity of the X Virus, this batch of vaccines at least helped ’Electric Flight’ employees survive the first wave of destructive outbreak and secured an opportunity to face the second wave of challenges.
Thus, when Kelly’s plane landed at Shanghai Airport, ’Electric Flight’s headquarters in Shanghai still retained hundreds of employees, and even many key suppliers’ employees mostly survived.
The company’s standby manager Qiu Yongfeng led over a dozen weary-looking subordinates with tear-filled eyes to the airport for a welco.
The mont of handshaking upon reunion felt like a lifeti ago, considering too many once-familiar faces had vanished forever in this catastrophe.
"Miss Kelly, seeing you again is really... too difficult." Qiu Yongfeng’s voice choked.
"Engineer Wang, who was responsible for the core technology, passed away, Secretary Qian from the President’s office also departed, including finance, legal, and R&D departnts at headquarters, over fifty people died."
"Last year I too was admitted into the hospital’s intensive care unit, purely relying on the ample bonuses distributed before to barely make it through at any cost. But many people beside ... weren’t able to hold on."
This lantation infected everyone present, an indescribable sadness pervading the air.
