Chapter 939: Emptying the Ammunition Depot
The cowboys worked quickly and soon had the bomb set up and the fuse installed.
A group of people quickly evacuated the dam. Accompanied by deafening roars, one generator after another was blown into pieces, and a large amount of debris floated down the river along with the surging river water.
The violent explosion even caused some fine cracks to appear on the dam, and the time required for repairs was once again greatly extended.
The cowboys cheered loudly to celebrate their hard-earned victory.
Many people hugged each other and cried. They finally regained the water they depended on for survival.
"Thank you so much. Without you, we don't know when we will be able to get rid of this curse."
Old Tom held Zhang Tuohai's hand and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Don't be happy too soon. This is just the beginning. It's far from time to open the champagne. Those capital consortiums will not be willing to fail this time. For the benefit of this area, they have been planning for several years and will not give up easily. We must be careful of their revenge."
Zhang Tuohai said.
A few years ago, Old Tom would have patted his chest and said, "We have the confidence to defend our homeland."
However, everything that happened in the past few years has shattered his lofty words.
He now placed all his hopes on Zhang Tuohai.
"What do you think we should do? What should we do to protect our home?"
Old Tom asked earnestly.
"Well." Zhang Tuohai thought for a while and then said, "Your current strength is still too weak. If they want to use strong force, you will not be able to resist at all, so the first step is to improve your strength."
"How to improve?"
asked Old Tom.
"Come with me."
Zhang Tuohai took Old Tom and the others back to the ammunition depot.
At this time, the two guards in the sentry box were already drunk.
Zhang Tuohai skillfully took the keys from the two people and opened the door of the warehouse.
"Take whatever you want. You can take everything away as long as it's what you need."
Zhang Tuohai pointed at the things in the ammunition depot and said.
Old Tom was completely stunned, looking at Zhang Tuohai in disbelief: "Is this really possible?"
"Don't worry, I paid the money, so these are considered as our purchases." Zhang Tuohai said, taking out a few crumpled bills from his pocket and throwing them on the guard's table.
Old Tom looked at Zhang Tuohai, at the guard who was soundly sleeping, and then at the ammunition in the ammunition depot. Finally, he made up his mind and did it!
Since no one stands up to speak for them when their interests are damaged and they are allowed to be exploited by the gangs, they can only take up arms to defend their own power.
A group of cowboys rushed into the ammunition depot and took away everything they thought was useful.
When they left, the ammunition depot was so clean that it looked like it had just been cleaned, without even a single 9mm bullet left.
After the last cowboy left, Zhang Tuohai considerately locked the door again and hung the key back on the guard.
The group drove away and returned to Old Tom's farm.
After arriving at the farm, Zhang Tuohai asked them to establish a joint guarantee system, where as long as one person was in crisis, the rest of the farmers were obliged to help.
Only by forming them into a whole can the power of the group be appreciated.
After counting for a long time, Zhang Tuohai finally let them go. He knew that all of this had just taken shape, and it would take some .
When they returned to the farm, the water from the dam had filled the Crystal Lake and continued to flow around through the previous river channel, and flowed into the farms along the aqueduct. The dry land was irrigated , and the land became moist again and regained its vitality.
With the restoration of water sources, farmers and urban residents of Straw City no longer needed to rely on Coke as drinking water. For a time, the river outside the city was crowded with people fetching water, and even many children jumped into the river to play.
The sales of Coke in the city fell drastically.
This phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of distributors. When they came to the river to check, they were shocked and wanted to ask the gangsters for help to stop the people from taking water. However, they remembered that the gangsters in Straw City were completely eradicated last night. Except for a few truant kids and dozens of corpses hanging on street lamps, there was not even a single gangster in the city.
The dealers had no choice but to go to the police station. However, almost all the people in the police station were connected with the gangsters. Some of them fled overnight, while others hid in other places and dared not come back. The entire police station was almost empty.
In desperation, these distributors had to go to the Coke sellers and threaten to give up their status as distributors if the problem was not solved.
The interests of sellers and distributors are the same, and they share the same fate. After seeing this situation, they immediately sent someone to contact the dam, and only then did they learn that the dam had been blown up. It was initially estimated that it would take more than ten years to repair it.
Upon learning that his source of income had been cut off, the salesperson was furious and immediately sent someone to contact the manufacturer, claiming that if the problem was not resolved, everyone would have to bear the lost profits.
After receiving the information, Coca-Cola Company was naturally unwilling to lose such a huge profit in vain, so it immediately contacted the Straw City Council and demanded that the matter be resolved immediately, otherwise, this year's tax revenue would not be guaranteed.
Upon hearing the news, the Straw City Council was horrified.
The finances of Straw City mainly rely on taxes from large companies such as Coca-Cola. If these companies refuse to pay taxes, the finances of the entire Straw City will go bankrupt immediately.
The city’s financial bankruptcy is a small matter. The profits they can make will also be greatly reduced, which is a matter of life and death.
After receiving the call, the Straw City Council immediately ordered the garrison to drive away the crowd from the river and arrest the murderers involved in the bombing in order to extinguish the anger of the Coca-Cola Company.
The garrison leader Cassandra personally led people to the ammunition depot to collect weapons and equipment.
When Cassandra arrived, the two guards were still sleeping soundly.
"These damn rubbish!"
Cassandra swept the wine bottles off the table and picked up the two men.
The two guards were still confused until this time. When they saw that it was Cassandra, they came to their senses and saluted hurriedly.
"Open the door for me quickly, I need to get my weapon!"
Cassandra roared loudly.
"yes!"
The two guards immediately ran to the door of the ammunition depot, took out the key tremblingly, and opened the door.
Then, what they saw was an empty room without even a straw.
