Chapter 074: Colorful Lake
Gu Xiaocheng knew that Chen Ning didn't have any money, so he sneaked out and followed Chen Ning to see how Chen Ning could get an expensive weapon. This girl seems to be very interested in cheating, she has tried to sell Chen Ning's motorcycle before, she wants to see how Chen Ning cheats people?
However, she didn't expect that Chen Ning did not cheat, but took out the soldier's identity nameplate as collateral and asked the owner of the weapon shop to give him a gun on credit.
Will this work?
Of course!
This kind of black market is originally a gray area, and the people who live in the gray area are afraid of the imperial military in the first place, and everyone is afraid that a certain big man in the imperial military will be unhappy, so he will directly send someone to sweep away the black market. Of course, except for those bounty hunters, bounty hunters do not take missions at the Hunter Guild stronghold in Black Rock City, but can also go to other Hunter Guilds to take on quests, which is different from the Black Rock City traders who make a living on the black market.
The shopkeeper of this weapon shop called "Guns and Fire" was an old man, but his eyes flashed with the shrewdness of a businessman, and he glanced down at the military identity plate that Chen Ning put on the counter, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, presumably he could see that this was the soldier nameplate of the Immortal Bird Legion.
The old man in charge glanced at Chen Ning and said, "Come on, take this gentleman to Area A, he can choose any weapon under fifty gold coins, the ammunition is standard, and he can't take more." ”
Chen Ning visited the weapons on display in Area A of the weapons store, and finally chose to keep the shotgun.
This shotgun is only seventy percent new, but it is a standard weapon, and it is also a military product, the quality is absolutely guaranteed, Chen Ning still likes to use standard weapons, because this weapon is simple and rude, and reliable.
In the army, this weapon is called "Rain", which also describes the fact that after the shotgun bullets are fired, dozens of steel balls will be spread out and sprinkled on the enemy like rain.
In addition, the handle of the gun in the rain is also inlaid with a piece of steel, and when you are close, you can use the handle of the gun to smash the enemy's face, and the lethality is absolutely amazing, which is also what Chen Ning likes.
The shopkeeper said good luck to Chen Ning, and then allowed Chen Ning to leave, and did not ask Chen Ning when he would redeem the nameplate.
Chen Ning and Gu Xiaocheng returned to the orphanage, and on the way, Gu Xiaocheng's big round eyes never left Chen Ning. Obviously, this girl feels a different temperament from Chen Ning, no matter what Chen Ning encounters, no matter what she does, she seems to be very convinced and calm, which arouses her girl's curiosity, and she is more and more curious about Chen Ning's strength and origin.
Gu Yutong and they had been waiting for Chen Ning to come back for a long time, they were a little surprised when they saw Chen Ning with his back to a shotgun, but no one asked how they came, after Gu Yutong told Gu Xiaocheng and the orphans to stay at home and not get into trouble, she and Chen Ning got into an old jeep together, and the jeep was spewing thick black smoke and leaving Black Rock City.
Gu Xiaocheng wanted to set off with everyone, but without Gu Yutong's consent, this girl sulked, kicked the door of the orphanage twice, sat down angrily, and held her cheeks in a daze.
Suddenly, she remembered one thing, that is, Chen Ning's baggage was not taken away, and she was temporarily left in the guest room.
Gu Xiaocheng's eyes immediately lit up, ran towards Chen Ning's guest room, slipped into the room, and found Chen Ning's baggage, she wanted to see if there was anything else in the baggage, which could make her better understand her curious Chen Ning?
When she opened Chen Ning's baggage and found that it was a black stand-up collar imperial military uniform, she was stunned: "Wow, so handsome!"
Although the jeep was very tattered, it was fortunately usable, and the car drove towards the colorful lake 200 kilometers away.
Qicai Lake is a very famous lake scenic spot, because of the special geographical appearance here, when the strong sunlight shines on the lake at noon, the lake surface will show a rainbow of colorful colors, very beautiful, many people have heard of the beauty of Qicai Lake.
However, there are no towns or human strongholds around the Colorful Lake, so it is likely to encounter wandering zombies or cannibals here.
Even the cannibals are very cunning, sending people to secretly squat by the colorful lake all day long, there are many rich or noble women living in the urban fortress, living in a comfortable environment for a long time, can not imagine the horror of the outside world, plus want to see the legendary colorful lake, so they came out of the urban fortress, with slave bodyguards, come to the colorful lake to play.
These people, if they carry a lot of bodyguards, and if the bodyguards are very strong, nothing will happen to them, but if the bodyguards are not large and the strength is not very strong, they are likely to be ambushed by the cannibals for a long time and pay the price for their stupidity.
The jeep drove slowly towards the Colorful Lake, the road was bumpy, and it was estimated that it would take three hours to arrive, and it should be sunset when it reached the Colorful Lake.
On the way, Chen Ning had just gotten into the car and sat down, he had already closed his eyes, and his body was dozing off with the bumps of the vehicle.
However, Wang Peng glanced at Chen Ning, who was dozing with his eyes closed, but snorted coldly in a low voice: "Pretending, it's so bumpy, it's like he can really sleep." ”
Sun Kun and Niu Feng looked at each other, and they could also feel Wang Peng's hostility towards Chen Ning.
Chen Ning was pulled into the team by Gu Yutong, so when Gu Yutong heard Wang Peng's words, he diverted the topic while driving: "Let's talk about cannibals, how much do you know?"
Wang Peng held the back of his head with both hands and said lazily: "I have encountered a few times before, a group of crazy robbers, and they even dare to eat human flesh when they are hungry." ”
Sun Kun said modestly: "I have also encountered them, and I think they are very crazy and difficult to deal with." ”
Niu Feng: "I think they're crazy. ”
Gu Yutong glanced at Chen Ning from the rearview mirror in the car, Chen Ning still closed his eyes, and he didn't know if he was really asleep, or was he pretending to be asleep?
Gu Yutong saw that Chen Ning was not involved in the topic, so she began to popularize the knowledge of cannibals to everyone, and said: "Cannibals are those abandoned people who can't enter the fortress of the metropolis, and some of them gather together because they can't find food, hunt down their fellow humans, and eat human flesh to survive. In fact, human flesh is not suitable for human consumption. Because there is a protein in human flesh, a protein that cannot be changed even by high temperature, if you eat human flesh, this protein will begin to attack the nerves of the human brain, and finally the cannibal brain will become like a sponge, full of tiny holes. ”
When she said this, she paused, and saw that everyone was listening carefully, so she continued: "After the cannibals ate human flesh, there was no reaction at first, but after more times, their eyes would turn red. After a little longer, Kuru's disease will appear, and the cannibals will lose control of the nerves and muscles in their faces, and they will keep laughing, or keep showing an expression that looks like a smile. ”
Wang Peng said that this was the case, no wonder the cannibals they saw before were all red-eyed, and with a weird smile or a cruel smile like a madman, at first they thought that their personality was like this, but now they know that it was caused by eating human flesh for a long time, which caused problems in their bodies.
Chen Ning kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, but he listened to Gu Yutong's words word for word, what Gu Yutong said was indeed similar to the cannibal knowledge he taught in class from Instructor Kanqing, it seems that Gu Yutong has done his homework in order to complete this task.
The jeep drove through the wilderness for three hours, and finally arrived at the colorful lake at sunset, this lake is so huge that it even has a bit of an infinite feeling, and people who don't know will mistake it for the sea!
Chen Ning had just gotten off the jeep, and before he had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset lake, Gu Yutong suddenly looked at the jungle on the left: "Someone is watching us!"
Chen Ning looked towards Gu Yutong's gaze, and then saw a guy in tattered clothes, who turned around and fled into the jungle in a panic.
Wang Peng immediately pulled out his pistol and aimed at the guy's back.
Chen Ning pressed the other party's pistol: "If this guy is the whistle of the cannibal, we can catch him and get a lot of information from him." ”
Wang Peng snorted coldly, pushed Chen Ning away, and then chased after the guy in the distance.
