Chapter 27: salvaging and quick thinking
He is called Mobo.
Vicky already met with this right hand man of boss Oba and got acquainted with him.
Mobo quickly explained the things to Vicky about the location of the goods that needs to be salvaged for boss Oba.
Also he told the information of other's goods that needs salvaging to get a small share of their materials.
After Vicky listened to the information Vicky started to plan the people that required and what rations that needed to be given to them for the work.
Mobo and Vicky each other for a long time working for boss Oba.
But the number of time they met is very low.
Vicky works with boss Oba on his trips while Mobo would deal with the things on his own.
In a way Mobo was more trusted than Vicky.
When Vicky is done planning Vicky asked Mobo about the people available and other people that can be taken.
After the calculation Vicky told Mobo to bring in few more people to salvage the external things while their trusted people would transport the things inside.
...….
They quickly moved on as Mobo arranged the people to bring in some labor that would work for rations.
Well the thing that was given is just a handful of rice that is soaked in water.
The things they want to salvage are the guns.
Mobo took Vicky to the location where the guns are submerged.
Fortunately these guns and ammunition are not of the old days.
Even if they are wet these guns and ammunition can still be used.
Vicky looked at the building.
It was a 3 story building and the weapons are stored in the basement of this house.
The building is submerged till the first floor as this place is on a higher ground.
So people have to dive in to the dirty water to reach the basement and then bring the boxes up.
Vicky knows that the people cannot be trusted when it is related to weapons and ammunition.
There is a chance that they would use these things to fight back.
Unfortunately the wet guns and ammunition cannot be used directly.
The morning sun is scorching.
So the entire thing will start at the evening around 6 PM when the sky was still white with the sun rays.
The sun light is available till around 8 PM in the evening and from 3 AM in the morning.
In the evening around at 7 PM the men are here and there are lights in the building for them to look.
Before letting people dive Vicky specifically asked what everyone worked for before the current disaster.
This is to make sure that there are no retired officers or others that can handle the guns.
Well they might lie, but Vicky can see the small hints of their hand and other places that the professionals in various fields had to verify the truth.
Only after verifying did Vicky let them dive in to bring back the weapons.
In the previous life Vicky is one of the diving people and he saw that there is a criminal mixed in the diving people.
When he came up he killed a few people of the big gangs and left with two guns and 50 rounds of ammunition.
Vicky hid around the corner to escape from that situation before.
So Vicky has to be careful as he is currently an organizing member of those big gangs.
He doesn't want to play with his life.
Mobo thought that Vicky was wasting time to put more importance to his work.
The guns and ammunition were salvaged and the boxes were placed on the rubber boats.
Mobo sent his trusted people to take the things back and store them at a designated room of the apartments they are staying.
They did not take them to boss Oba's place as the boxes are soaked in sewage water for so long that they smell very bad.
The process is successfully and the rations were distributed while Vicky went back to check the current situation of guns and ammunition.
Well they are soaked in water for more than a month.
Fortunately after they are dried a little they can be used normally.
For the drying process they don't have to worry as the sun would directly dry them out in one day.
On the next day they plan to go to a different place to salvage ammunition.
At that time Mobo got news that shocked him and he understood that he really misunderstood Vicky yesterday.
It was about the incident that Vicky faced before.
A criminal got the gun and shot the people before escaping with some guns and ammunition.
He understood that he really underestimated the current situation.
So he let Vicky check more thoroughly so that there is no such dangerous incident in his group.
The process of getting the weapons is quick and the people with experience on the first day completed the work very quickly.
Since they completed the work here quickly Vicky called them over to salvage the goods at a supermarket.
If they were to search the thing individually they will have a hard time.
If they were able to search in a group then they don't have to fear of losing their lives and food to others.
Vicky even announced to them that they can keep some of the food they salvaged as long as they salvaged at least 10 kilograms worth of food or other equivalent things.
Mobo quickly understood what Vicky is doing and immediately cooperated with Vicky.
He knows that value of the food as money no longer had its previous value, food is everything.
Vicky quickly thinking can give them more food reserves.
The good food they had can be stored while the bad food that these people salvaged can be used as wages later.
Also all they are doing right now is looking while the other people work for them.
Well they are giving protection which is an effort less....
