Chapter 529: Cannon Fodder in the War
I don’t know where they got so much food from, but since they got it, she will naturally take it away.
It took two days to put those things into the warehouse, but Ning Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry. After all, things on the researchers' side were not settled yet!
That day, the person in charge came to Ning Xiaoxiao and asked her if the second batch of people had arrived. If they hadn't arrived yet, how long would it take for them to arrive?
Ning Xiaoxiao understood. It turned out that they thought that the people from the Knight Group would send the first batch of supplies back and then come back to deliver the second batch of supplies.
"Consul Tan, don't worry. We have already made arrangements so as not to delay everyone's business. As long as you are all well, we can transport you away without waiting for them to return." Ning Xiaoxiao said with a smile!
"Really? That's great. By the way, Miss Yunshu, the researchers and professors also have some luggage. Can the brothers from the Knight Group take them away together?" Consul Tan was happy to know that he didn't have to wait!
During this period, he and Captain Lu inquired about the glorious events of the Knight-Errant Group and confirmed with the domestic leaders that the comrades of the Knight-Errant Group were very trustworthy. Only then did they prepare twice as much supplies as planned to send back to the country.
The professor came with his family, and they originally decided to travel light, taking only some money and information!
But now that they have a way to take their luggage with them, they will naturally not be polite, so as to avoid having to go back to China to buy things. They know that there is a shortage of everything in China now, so they try to bring back as many daily necessities as possible.
They even managed to sell their houses and exchange them for money and belongings!
Ning Xiaoxiao did not refuse and asked them to pack up all the things they needed to take away and mark them to avoid mistakes.
After she and Consul Tan agreed on a time, Consul Tan hurried off to get busy.
Ning Xiaoxiao went to a large farm in the next city and went directly to the farmer to buy a batch of cheap and nutritious fruits, dozens of cattle and sheep, and a dozen dairy calves. The robot drove several times before it transported the things away!
After paying, she began to travel around the country using teleportation, buying whatever she saw and thought she needed!
She also discovered that people in this country had a sweet tooth and that sugar resources were relatively abundant, so she found a small or medium-sized sugar factory and bought over 20 tons of white sugar and two tons of chocolate at a high price.
So she had been going out early and coming back late these past two days, and it was finally time to agree with Consul Tan on moving the supplies!
Just like last time, she put all the supplies, food, airplanes, vehicles, etc. into the space, and by the way, she also put away the things in the small warehouse where Captain Lu and his men stored supplies!
I drove an eight-wheeled truck with the robot to carry the luggage for the professor's family!
She had calculated that the luggage of the five families, no matter how much they had, should be able to be carried away by an eight-wheeled vehicle. But this time, it would require the hard work of robots to carry it!
Sure enough, after visiting five of the stores, the rear eight wheels were fully loaded, showing how frantically they had gone about shopping in those two days. Two of the stores even bought small pieces of furniture and electrical appliances.
But the professor finally stopped her and asked them to take away five large boxes. These five large wooden boxes were sealed with sealing strips, and he told her that she must treat these five large wooden boxes with caution and must not make any mistakes, and they must not open them.
There were also four large suitcases in his room containing research materials, which he handed over to her very carefully.
The professor didn't care about anything else at this time. He just held her hand and said that if they encountered danger on the road, the luggage could be thrown away, even the supplies could be thrown away, but these nine boxes must be protected.
Ning Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say seriously, "Professor, please rest assured. The box is here, and I am here. Even if I am gone, I will definitely hand the box over to the recipient before I die!"
"That's good. You and the box will be fine." When the professor heard Ning Xiaoxiao's words, she also felt the seriousness in her words and smiled with relief!
In fact, he was taking a huge risk by handing these important things to this little girl! But the danger was even greater with these things in his hands. Every extra minute he stayed was a dreadful one. Comparing the two, he chose the lesser of two evils and could only send the things and luggage back first.
If possible, he didn't want to take these things out of his sight, and he wanted to bring them back to his country with his own hands. But he also knew that this was impossible. If he was not careful, he might be detained with his belongings.
I was secretly praying in my heart that the Knights' Group was really as reliable and capable as the rumors said, and that they would definitely send these important things back to the country safely!
He watched reluctantly as the truck carried these things away. Ning Xiaoxiao was escorting them on the surface, but secretly after walking for a distance, she put all the things into the space.
She returned to the hotel after daybreak and saw Consul Tan at the hotel gate. He smiled at her and asked, "Did you send him off?"
"Well, Consul Tan, how long will it take them to finish?"
"They still have work to do, and there's a very important piece of research material they haven't gotten yet. I've already booked a boat ticket for the fourth morning." What he didn't say was that there's still a piece of material they haven't gotten that could play a key role in making some weapon!
So for that thing, for that material, the few people who had no worries were willing to go all out and retreat immediately after getting the thing.
Ning Xiaoxiao nodded. As long as there was a specific time, she could make arrangements early!
In the following time, Captain Lu and his men became more and more crazy about buying things after hearing the news that they would be returning soon.
Seeing the dozen or so sacks of candy that were obtained by someone unknown, Ning Xiaoxiao twitched her lips. Haha, they thought of the same thing.
The combat effectiveness of the dozen or so of them these days was very impressive, and they basically spent all the money they won from the casino for the first time.
These dozen people were very happy from the beginning, spending money lavishly, and finally experiencing the life of a rich person. In just a few days, they spent more money than they could earn in their entire lives.
In the end, they weren't so excited about spending money anymore. It turns out spending so much every day is really tiring. The main problem is that by the end, they don't know what to buy anymore.
Ning Xiaoxiao just said, you are soldiers yourselves, no one understands the army better than you, no one knows what the army lacks better than you, so let you buy it yourself, so you can buy what you need most.
At first, they thought of medicinal herbs, food, weapons, and cotton clothes. Later, they bought whatever they felt they needed. They added some here and there, and in the end they were dazzled.
Until you can’t think of what you need anymore, just increase the amount of what you bought before!
They never dreamed that they would one day be troubled by how to spend their money. They even felt very painful when spending money. When they told their parents about it, no one believed them and thought they were crazy because of poverty and had developed delusions.
I don’t know if there will be any sequelae when I go back!
Of course Ning Xiaoxiao also spent money, but she spent the money she won from the second bet, which amounted to more than one million US dollars in pounds and US dollars.
But the money she spent and donated added up to less than one million, so she bought so many supplies on this trip, not only did she not spend her capital, she even made some profit.
Late at night on the second day after the second batch of supplies was shipped out, someone urgently knocked on Ning Xiaoxiao's door. "Who is it?"
Ning Xiaoxiao used her mental power to immediately notice that it was Consul Tan and Captain Lu. She immediately got out of bed and opened the door.
"Consul Tan, do you have something to talk to me about so late at night?" Ning Xiaoxiao asked directly without waiting for anyone to speak.
"Something happened, Miss Yunshu!" Consul Tan said anxiously.
"Don't be anxious, take your time!" When Ning Xiaoxiao heard that something had happened, she immediately thought of the professor and the others. Could something have changed?
"The institute's affairs were exposed. The institute's leaders discovered that a batch of very important metals and materials were missing, and then someone reported the professors, so the professors were detained. And..." Professor Tan seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"And what? At this point, just say whatever you want to say." Ning Xiaoxiao was anxious. Was there anything that couldn't be said all at once? Why was she hesitating?
"Besides, your large-scale shopping behavior these days has attracted the attention of some people. They think you are tax evaders and smugglers, and they want to seize your supplies. I guess someone will come to search you soon."
"So? What will happen if no supplies are found? Is everything fine without evidence? Do you have any other arrangements?" Since he came here at this time, he must have received the news in advance and should have made some arrangements!
“It’s useless. You went in and out and bought things during the day, and many people saw you. They didn’t care about the evidence at all.
So you must evacuate from here quickly, and take the professor's family with you. Here are the keys to the house at No. xx, xx Street. Go in and wait for news, and then evacuate the day after tomorrow morning. However, you may encounter many difficulties when you leave!" Professor Tan said with a worried look on his face.
"Hurry up and pack your things. We have to hurry and evacuate before they get here. I'll go pick up the professor's family first. You guys don't have to wait for me after you pack up, just go over there directly." Consul Tan spoke quickly.
Ning Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, and Captain Lu went to find his own soldiers!
She packed her things very quickly. She threw the things directly into the space and finished packing them in less than two minutes.
She walked downstairs quietly and saw the hotel owner dozing off with his head nodding. It was obvious that Consul Tan's visit had not woken him up.
Ning Xiaoxiao was afraid that Captain Lu and his group would come out and wake him up, so she gave him some sleeping pills to deepen his sleep.
Just as I finished my work, I saw a dozen people coming down quietly with bags on their backs.
The group quickly left the hotel. Led by Ning Xiaoxiao, they hurried to their destination and opened the door with their key!
Ning Xiaoxiao and Captain Lu simultaneously put down their bags and said in unison, "Wait here for now. I'll go pick up Consul Tan and the others!"
"Yunshu, be obedient. You can't go. It's too dangerous outside. Let me go to support you!" Captain Lu looked at her approvingly.
"Captain Lu, do you think that if I didn't have some ability, how could the leader give me such an important task? Don't worry! I will definitely not be the one who holds us back! How about we go together?" Ning Xiaoxiao said casually.
"Okay!" Captain Lu agreed after thinking for two seconds. He really shouldn't treat this little girl as just a little baby, but as a soldier fighting side by side with her.
The two of them walked out quickly and rushed all the way to the professor's house. On the way, they happened to meet two police cars heading towards the hotel!
Ning Xiaoxiao and Captain Lu looked at each other and said, "Let's go!" They quickened their pace and met Consul Tan and his group when they were almost at the classroom!
"Consul Tan, we just saw a police car heading towards the hotel, and they handed it over to the two of us. You should go back quickly. I guess those people won't be able to find anyone else, so they will go looking for you." Captain Lu quickly recounted what happened.
"That's fine. Be careful, I promise!" Consul Tan also knew that this arrangement was the best.
"You lead the way, and I'll take care of the aftermath?" Captain Lu said to Ning Xiaoxiao when he saw Consul Tan turn around and leave.
"Okay!" Ning Xiaoxiao used her mental power to clear the way and led people to take a detour to avoid the police cars. She sent people to their destination safely and entrusted the safety of the fifteen people, young and old, to the soldiers!
"Captain Lu, I want to go see Consul Tan and see if there is anything we can do to help. You stay here and protect them?" There is no point in just waiting here!
"No, none of us can go. We can't be discovered at this time. He has anything to do with us. You should believe in his ability. He has been rooted here for so long. How can he be a good person to reach this position? Let's go and see together at noon." Captain Lu said disapprovingly.
He had seen Consul Tan's cleverness and cunning, a man with a heart as sharp as a sieve. He also had a wide network of contacts and connections with the powerful in this country.
If he couldn't even handle this kind of thing, how could he protect so many students and professors while having the energy to unite many wealthy families to prepare so many supplies.
Ning Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized that if she couldn't even resolve this kind of problem, how could she, a person about to leave, help? Besides, she had no experience in diplomatic matters other than brute force. Any unnecessary intervention might even disrupt the other party's rhythm!
By noon, more than twenty people used the ingredients in the kitchen to make some simple noodles for lunch!
After lunch, the two went to Consul Tan's place. Sure enough, Consul Tan had just finished lunch and was drinking tea!
"Why are you here? Have you had lunch?" Consul Tan was a little surprised to see the two of them!
"Of course I came to see if you had been captured!" Captain Lu walked aside and sat down before saying this!
"You're worrying too much. I haven't committed any crime or broken any law. Why are they arresting me?"
"Okay, you are awesome! What about the professor and the others? Can they get on board the ship smoothly the day after tomorrow?" Captain Lu knew that this guy must be fine. Seeing his mood at this time, he might have even cheated others!
When Captain Lu mentioned teaching them, Consul Tan's expression finally changed and his look became serious.
