Chapter 18: The Black Market
"You mean a pistol or something?" Zhang Yuntian frowned, he couldn't remember which city had a gun store, and even if there were, after so many years of apocalypse, it would have been looted like a supermarket.
"That's right, I know of a place where you can buy guns, even rocket launchers! As long as there is something valuable, even an airplane and a tank can be exchanged! Li Junhai looked proud.
"If there really is such a place, then you are ready to prepare, and we will leave early tomorrow morning!"
After this short and half month of contact, he found that Li Junhai has no major shortcomings except for being a little belligerent and often feeling good about himself, at least from the current point of view, he is more righteous and belongs to the type of person who says the same, which may have a lot to do with the fact that he was a soldier before.
"Roger!" Li Junhai saw Zhang Yuntian agree, and left happily.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Yuntian left two corpse guards to guard the community, and he took four corpse guards to take a business car borrowed from Gu Hongbo, and slowly drove out of the fifth district under the leadership of Li Junhai.
The vehicle drove along the road for half an hour, turned to the side, and entered a dirt road, the trees that were originally planted on both sides of the road were now all cut down by the waist, bare, and occasionally a few zombie corpses fell next to the stump, which looked particularly weird.
I drove along the trail for more than an hour, but I didn't encounter a single broken down car along the way, presumably because this road is often passed, so I deliberately cleaned up the way.
After a while, a small town appeared in front, the so-called small town, there is only one main street running through, there are more than a dozen two-story buildings on both sides, slightly more prosperous than the village, the entrance to the town is not obviously guarded, but from the passing windows, you can vaguely see human figures, it can be seen that there are dark whistles here, maybe for them, the biggest enemy is not zombies, but humans.
The buildings on both sides of the street are covered with gray flags with a curled tongue drawn in the center.
"This is the territory of the Grey-tongued mercenaries, and the black market pays them a good monthly payment to ensure the absolute safety of the merchants!" Li Junhai explained, "Don't look at the fact that the town is very quiet on the surface, there are almost no people, and it is lively below!" ”
As he spoke, the van turned into a single-row lane with red arrows drawn, and in front of it was a one-way route that rotated downward, and the car turned about seven or eight times like this, Zhang Yuntian almost fainted and vomited, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a huge parking lot full of all kinds of vehicles appeared, looking at this scale, even if it was more than enough to hide a few Boeing 747 passenger planes.
"This was originally a secret base for the army, and after the outbreak of zombies, it was also a temporary command for a period of time, and then for some reason, it was captured by zombies, and it took three months for the gray-tongued mercenaries to clean up this place, and now it has become a place where black market merchants gather!" Li Junhai started chattering non-stop again, if he went to be a tour guide, he would definitely be very good.
"Black market? Why didn't I see the merchants? Zhang Yuntian's face was full of doubts.
Li Junhai stomped his foot heavily, "They're right down here!" With that, he walked to a wall, pressed it a few times, and the wall cracked, and two soldiers with gray tongue signs came out of it.
Behind the gap is a brightly lit lobby, there are three elevators in the middle of the lobby, surrounded by iron nets, leaving only a small door for one person to pass guò, the elevator is very spacious, the whole building has four floors, the negative first floor is the parking lot, the negative second floor is the barracks and the warehouse, the buttons on the negative third floor are deducted, and the black market is on the negative fourth floor.
As soon as the elevator door was opened, the noise, shouting, shouting, and laughter filled everyone's eardrums, and a lively bazaar appeared in front of them, and the whole hall was illuminated by several rows of incandescent lamps on the dome as if it were day, and all kinds of shops were lined up, and the streets were full of people, giving people the illusion of returning to the prosperous era.
Although there are many shops here, there are two main types, one is permanent and the other is temporary.
For example, a food merchant, perhaps he stumbled upon a warehouse where compressed biscuits were stored, so he only sold compressed biscuits for several months, and when the goods were sold out, he went to find the next batch of goods.
Temporary vendors take out their surplus items in exchange for what they need, so although they sell a limited number of items, they have a variety of items and prices are negotiable.
The reason why it is called the black market is because the Wan Shi regime only allowed the purchase of light weapons such as pistols, and heavy weapons such as assault rifles and light machine guns were only allowed to be owned by the military and high-ranking nobles, and it was illegal for others to possess and sell them privately.
Secondly, there are also some disgraceful transactions in the black market, such as ****** medicines, poisons/products, and even some people sell ** zombies.
Zhang Yuntian picked a weapon shop with several pistols hanging at the door and walked in.
The owner of the shop, a muscular man in his thirties, with a long scar on the left side of his face that extends from between his eyebrows to his chin, skillfully disassembles a pistol while holding a cigarette, and then quickly reloads it.
"Glock Model 18, a nine-millimeter caliber pistol, with all parts made of stainless steel, can adapt to all kinds of harsh climates around the world!" Li Junhai put his hands behind his back and carefully looked at the pistol in Scarface's hand, "Equipped with a large-capacity 33-round magazine, the special forces are equipped with weapons as standard, and when the target is far away, a single shot is used to ensure accuracy; 2 or 3 rounds are used more recently; When it is necessary to increase the lethality or block or block in an emergency, automatic continuous fire can give full play to the power of the submachine gun! This kind of gun is a sharp weapon whether it is against zombies or humans! ”
Scarface glanced at Li Junhai, "Hmph, I didn't see it, you are quite knowledgeable, the original price is 200 nutrient mixture, you will be given a 20% discount, and it will be counted as 160 mixtures!" ”
Li Junhai shrank his head in fright, although this gun is indeed a good thing, but the price is not cheap, one hundred and sixty combinations? He can't afford to sell himself dozens of times, he peeked at Zhang Yuntian, this is the place he recommended, don't let the master not get off the stage as soon as he comes up, then he will be unlucky!
"Okay, how many you have, I'll take them all!" Zhang Yuntian is refreshing and neat, and he doesn't even blink his eyes when he spends money.
Scarface frowned and looked at Zhang Yuntian for a long time, and then asked hesitantly: "I have a total of twelve here, a total of 1,920 combinations, are you sure you want to buy them all?" ”
Zhang Yuntian nodded, this gun really meets his requirements, it can be used as a pistol, and it can also be used as a submachine gun at critical moments to provide fire support, and it also meets the regulations of the Wanshi regime on gun control, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Are you counting now, or are you going to pick up the order in a few days?" Scarface saw that Zhang Yuntian and the others only brought a travel backpack each, if it was full of mixtures, it might barely be able to count it, but how heavy was that? Can this kid stand here so calmly?
"Face to face, of course!" Zhang Yuntian took out forty catties of rice from the corpse guard's bag and put it on the counter, "Are these enough?" ”
Scarface was startled when he saw this bag of white rice, but he didn't expect to meet a broad master! The average broad master is not fat and fat, and he has to hug left and right all the time, and Zhang Yuntian in front of him is not only very slender, but also has only a group of men beside him, and he is really unseemly!
He was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, changed his fierce expression just now, changed to an amiable appearance, and said repeatedly: "Enough, enough, enough, I have to give you change!" ”
Scarface retrieved twelve Glock pistols from the room, each with three extended magazines, five thousand rounds of ammunition, and more than twenty grenades at the end.
In fact, the value of grenades is far less valuable than firearms, because the latter can be accurately aimed and directly hit the head of zombies, while grenades are not only loud and easy to attract more zombies, but also the lethality is not satisfactory, many zombies are just blown up legs, although the movement is affected, but it is not fatal.
Once the air currents caused by the explosion blow a certain zombie in front of you, it becomes a self-digging grave, so in the last days, few people use grenades unless absolutely necessary.
Li Junhai was stunned, is this Zhang Yuntian who was bought with him? This kid couldn't even pay the entry taxes at the time, and now he is so rich? casually took out such valuable things, and it was too cheap to replace the mixture with forty catties of rice, but the owner was such a tyrant, what else could he say? I was just secretly glad that I followed the right master.
"There are also some improved versions of the M4A1 here, the ones that send the muffler, would you like to take a look at them too?" Scarface's face was full of flattery.
"No need, these are enough, I will contact you again if I need it in the future!" Zhang Yuntian waved his hand and walked out without looking back, buying this kind of thing and going back can only cause trouble for himself, not to mention that his next target is the vault, fighting in a small space, or a pistol is more competent.
Until Zhang Yuntian walked away, Scarface shouted at his back at the door of the store: "Okay, I'm in this position, you are welcome to come often, it's okay to come and have a look!" ”
Scarface changed forty catties of rice, and he couldn't close his mouth, this thing can't be calculated with a mixture, this transaction will make all the money last year, but it's a pity that there is no signal in the end of the world, or add a WeChat, or save a mobile phone number It's also good, such a local tyrant, you must be friends! Alas, this damned end times!
Zhang Yuntian spent a lot of money on the black market, and soon bought 20 pieces of body armor, two reinforced Humvees, two boxes of C4 bombs, and dozens of alarm clocks.
The first three uses are already well known, no need to repeat, but the role of the alarm clock is no worse than them, because zombies will be attracted by sound, so the alarm clock can play a role in attracting the attention of zombies, buy time for escape and raid, is a very important tactical equipment.
