Reborn Before the Extreme Cold Apocalypse

Wooden House Bar

The two got out of the car and arrived at the door of the wooden house bar. As they opened the door, a strong smell of burnt tobacco filled their nostrils. Inside, several guests were sitting, all with dark skin and fierce-looking faces. They were looking at Hong Yu and Liu Peng, the two unfamiliar faces, with a look of vigilance. Liu Peng didn't flinch at all and walked straight to the bar counter. He spoke to the busy owner inside. "Uncle Qingkun! It's been a long time!" Uncle Qingkun looked back at Liu Peng and smiled. "Oh, this isn't Xiao Peng? You've grown up so much. It's been four or five years since I last saw you." Liu Peng scratched his head. "Haha, I've been busy and haven't had time to come and visit you old neighbors." Uncle Qingkun looked at Liu Peng, dressed in formal attire, from top to bottom. "Judging by your appearance, you must have made a fortune?" Seeing that Liu Peng and the owner were so familiar, the vigilant glances around slowly faded away. Liu Peng didn't reply. He took out 500 yuan from his pocket and placed it on the bar. "Uncle Qingkun, give me two cups of ice cola." Qingkun has been running this bar for many years and has become a real expert. He glanced at the money on the bar and guessed that Liu Peng came here today to ask him for something. Turning around, he took out two clean cups, added some ice, and poured the cola into them. "Come, let's go to the private room to drink. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. It's a good opportunity to chat with Uncle!" After putting the 500 yuan in his pocket, Qingkun carried the cola and the two of them to the small private room on the side. It's called a private room, but in fact it's just a lounge. There's a table, a few chairs and a single bed.

"Sit down and talk!" Qingkun glanced at Hongyu with his peripheral vision and whispered, "Xiaopeng, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. We've been neighbors for quite a few years. There's no need to be so polite to me." Then he placed the 500 yuan he had just put in his pocket on the table. Liu Peng pushed the money back to Qingkun. "Uncle, please accept the money. I know the rules. I came here to ask you something." "What do you want to inquire about?" "Are there any smuggling ships at the docks around here recently?" Qingkun didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at Hongyu. Liu Peng knew he wasn't sure about Hongyu's identity, so he hurriedly explained. "Uncle, don't worry. He's my boss, not an outsider." Qingkun gave a soft exclamation. Hongyu's casual clothes didn't seem like those of a boss. He asked tentatively. "Young man, what kind of business do you do?" Before Hongyu could speak, Liu Peng spoke first. "Our boss is involved in big business. Recently, I've signed orders worth several billion yuan just for purchasing goods." As soon as he finished speaking, Hongyu cooperatively put his hand in his pocket and took out 20,000 yuan from his space and placed it on the table. "I'm your peer, so I'll call you uncle too. This time, I came here to get something from other sources. As long as the deal is successful, I will definitely not forget your share. This can be regarded as consulting fees." Qingkun still trusted Liu Peng. And since Hongyu was so generous in gathering information and making the deal, he no longer hesitated. "OK! So what kind of things do you want to get?" "Fuel, gasoline and diesel are all needed!"

Qingkun looked a little embarrassed. "What? None?" Hongyu asked. "There is some, but this thing is hard to resell and the risk is very high. What do you want to do with it?" "I just finished the procurement here. Later, we need to set up a transportation fleet to deliver the goods to all over the country. But the domestic oil prices are really too high. It has raised the cost all at once. So I want to see if we can get some cheaper prices through this way, so that I can save a lot of money." Hongyu made up a reason casually. Qingkun understood and thought for a moment. "There is a person. He specializes in this. But..." "Don't half-justify your words, what is it?" Liu Peng was anxious in his heart. Qingkun said hesitantly. "This person is not very reliable. I advise you not to deal with him. It's too dangerous!" "How dangerous is it?" Hongyu was aroused by curiosity. "This person has a very bad reputation in the circle. There were several ship owners who smuggled fuel before him, but since he appeared, those ship owners have mysteriously disappeared one after another. Many people say that those ship owners were blackmailed and killed by him. And that's not all. I also heard that this guy has taken money from others several times and failed to deliver the goods." Qingkun disclosed the truth. Hongyu's eyebrows slightly furrowed. This was indeed a bit risky. The price was not important to him, but he was afraid that the goods might not be delivered on time. "Is there no one else with good credit?" Qingkun sighed. "If it were anything else, Uncle could find it for you. But fuel... In the entire Nanyuan City, as far as I know, there's only him who has it." This is the only option. We'll have to take a chance and try it. "What's his name?"

"He was nicknamed 'Tiger' and his subordinates were all outlaws." "Where can I find him?" "He went out to sea a couple of days ago. He probably hasn't returned yet. You go out of the bar and keep walking west. At the end of the dock, there is a yard surrounded by green iron fences. His subordinates should be there." Hong Yu nodded and took out another 20,000 yuan and placed it on the table. "Thank you. Today I didn't ask anything. I just came to visit Xiaopeng with him." The boss looked at the 40,000 yuan on the table and couldn't help but raise his lips. He hurriedly said. "Understand, understand. I know the rules!" The two got out of the bar and got into the car. "Boss, are you going?" Liu Peng asked tentatively. "Of course I'm going." "They are all outlaws. Aren't you going to think about it?" Liu Peng was a little worried about encountering danger. "It's okay. We have to ask anyway." "OK!" Liu Peng started the vehicle and headed west. Soon they arrived at the place that Qing Kun had mentioned. The gate was locked with iron chains, and in the shade of the pergola in the yard, several muscular men with tattoos on their bodies were playing cards and drinking. The filthy curses they shouted made people feel uncomfortable. One man with a scar like a centipede on his face noticed the car at the door, put down the beer he was holding, and got up to come over. "Don't turn off the engine. Wait for me in the car." After giving instructions to Hong Yu, the boss got out of the car. "What do you do? If you don't want to get beaten, hurry up and leave!" The man said viciously. Hong Yu wore a faint smile on his face: "Brother, I came here to discuss a business deal. Is Tiger Brother around?"

"There's no such thing as a 'tiger guy' here. Get out of here right now!" the man said, and then kicked the iron fence. "Brother, what I'm talking about is a deal worth hundreds of millions. If the tiger guy finds out that you've messed up this deal, I don't know if he'll be angry or not." "Damn it, you don't even understand English,, do you?" the man said as he took out the key and unlocked the iron chain, about to rush out. At this moment, a voice came from behind him. "Scarface, wait a moment!"
