Chapter 7: First Visit to the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce
"Welcome to the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce!"
As soon as he arrived at the Karumen Arms Chamber of Commerce, a loud voice immediately sounded at the door.
Surprisingly, the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce unexpectedly resembles an Arms Chamber - except for the appearance.
The thick new alloy armor plates are spliced together to form a small fortress-like building, and the exterior wall made of metal plates is naturally not too flashy, and the color is also very monotonous. Even so, the fort's hard, sharp edges and metallic exterior walls are at odds with the fading atmosphere of the old town.
It has very little frills, and the Karumen Arms Chamber values performance more than ornate appearance. Naturally, there are many enemies in such a crazy way of doing things, and considering the actions that those enemies might take, it is not worth being too surprised that the Karumen Arms Chamber of Commerce is closely protected.
In fact, in the killer world, the leader of the Karuman consortium, Karuman Haas, has been hyped to 2.9 billion mira in bounty, surpassing the Empire's Prime Minister Osborne to become the person with the highest bounty, but no one has been able to earn this money......
There were four heavily armed warriors at the door, even in the city, dressed in heavy body armor and shockproof vests, holding a guiding sword and a gunpowder heavy machine gun. These are the four people who just greeted Grace Lim from the Support Section.
The blade of the Guiding Greatsword in their hands is not an ordinary Guiding Impact Device, but a saw chain. When powered by a force guide device, the chain on the blade can start rotating at a high speed of 50 revolutions per second. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a broadsword as a "cutter".
The heavy machine gun is more hideous than the heavy machine gun used by the mafia before, almost the same size weapon as the equiptor, the attack port is still a combination of machine gun bullets and grenades, but at the lower end of the weapon, equipped with a large cutting blade, it seems that when necessary, this heavy machine gun can be used directly as a giant machete. And the equipment holder also wore three or five bullet chains, although I can't count the specific number, but the amount of ammunition in the whole body is definitely more than 3,000 rounds.
Their equipment, weapons, and close-fitting clothes are all black, they wear bulletproof helmets on their heads, the black goggles that put flash grenades are also pulled down, their mouths and noses are all hidden under poison gas masks, and they are almost invisible in the black.
Seeing this formation, even someone like Ellie, who has little contact with combat, understands the fierceness of the Karuman Consortium. Not to mention, if there is a real conflict, I'm afraid that no one else in the support department will be able to escape. And, no matter how dilapidated the old town is, it's still part of the city of Crossbell. Wearing such weapons in the city is, first of all, a mockery of the security work and security system of the autonomous region.
Even the Guiding Axe in Randy's hand, which is not a powerful weapon, had to be put away and replaced with a pair of short sticks when Randy was patrolling the streets. What is the purpose of the Karuman consortium to openly take out this weapon...... Is it just for propaganda?
Compared to Ellie's worries, Randy's hostility is obvious. He walked down the street with an axe and gun for the first time today, will he scare pedestrians? I'm thinking about that kind of thing when I survive......
"The police were attacked in the old city, and the flesh and blood were blurred, suspected to be committed by the Karumun Chamber of Commerce?! If the support section is a little careless, this is the hot headline of the next issue of Crossbell Time.
With a disdainful snort coming from his nose, Randy had no doubt that the Karuman Consortium would really trigger such a thing if necessary. What's more, the Grace reporter followed them, and if he suddenly attacked the killer, he could immediately compare the performance of the weapons of the Karuman Consortium with the police weapons, and publicize the quality of the weapons of the Karuman Arms Chamber of Commerce - this kind of thing was often heard in the past.
At first, He Xu only felt that these people were all black, which was very cool, but after a closer look, he noticed the heavy machine gun in their hands, and the previous fear suddenly exploded, and his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed. Fortunately, there was a pair of big hands to support her, so that she would not be on the cold and dirty ground.
You half-bent her legs, supported Hexu's back with both hands, and sighed. Slowly injected his qi into Hexu's body. Although it does not make her ignore her fear, it can somewhat calm her breathing, and the blood flow slows down, which calms her down a little.
"Scared? If you are afraid, you can go back to the department building and wait for us. ”
"No, no. I'm going to accompany Theo, and I can't leave her alone with such a terrible thing. ”
Although Hexu was still trembling, this argument full of childlike flavor still made her handsome. You smiled lightly and rubbed her head, indicating the meaning of "come on".
Seeing that the group of the support department stood at the door in a daze and did not go in, the four people at the door did not continue to greet or rush, but just let them stand. As if they were not guests, but a pebble.
Grace looked at their cautious appearance, and showed a rare expression of helplessness. With a complicated smile, Grace ran to the front of the group with cheerful little steps, and was the first to push open the door of the Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce.
In the door of the black hole, there was immediately a casual laughing tone.
"I hesitated for five minutes. Is it qualified? ”
――――――――
The Karumon Arms Chamber has no windows, in case someone strikes through the fragile glass window, or throws bombs or something through the window. Without windows, the natural enemy cannot take advantage of the weakness of "windows".
In order to make up for the lack of light, two rows of lights were installed on the ceiling, and it is not difficult to see from the brightness that one row is a guide lamp with better illumination, and the other row is a fire candle lamp that has basically been eliminated. In this way, even if the enemy cuts off the internal power supply, the Karumon Weapons Chamber will not fall into darkness.
Directly facing the door is a square table, which can be seen to have been strengthened. It is supposed to be for the enemy to break in, and you can kick the table to act as cover. Of course, it could also be used as a weapon.
The walls, like the outer walls, are new alloy plates, which are hung with all kinds of weapons, mainly modern weapons, mixed with a small number of conductive cold weapons.
You and Grace had been here once before for an interview, but the furnishings here had not been fully decorated at that time, and the place where they had the last conversation was not here, but the basement, so the two were also quite curious about the furnishings here. Grace, in particular, who already had a rough idea of Carrumen Haas's character, hummed happily while clicking endlessly.
The weapons here are definitely highly dangerous goods that are prohibited from being sold. If it weren't for the Karumon consortium, if it weren't for the support of Saiyalu, I am afraid that it would have been banned by the government a long time ago. Grace didn't know much about military affairs and weapons, but even a layman like her could imagine their power just by looking at their hideous appearance.
There were very few people in the room, not counting the Support Section and Grace, there were only three people.
Notorious arms dealer Carrumen Haas.
Randster, a harmless-looking bodyguard who likes to tell bad jokes.
and a heavily armed clerk with a combined shoulder bazooka on his shoulder.
It was Lancet who had just made a joke, and at this time he was talking to a few people: "Welcome to the Karumon Arms Chamber of Commerce!" Only you dare not use it, and there is nothing we dare not sell. Even if you're looking for a weapon to destroy the Erebonian Empire, we've got it! -- By the way, the last sentence is a joke. ”
This person who is always out of shape is telling cold jokes that no one can laugh at, as always.
However, considering the actions of the Karumon consortium, it is really impossible to dismiss that last sentence as nonsense, who knows if this group of war maniacs will actually plant bombs all over the Erebonian Empire and sell the detonator buttons?
Common sense can only be applied to ordinary people, and this kind of war madman who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic cannot speak of common sense.
"Hahahaha, don't say it, Lancet."
Karumen's voice was as hearty as before, and just by looking at his appearance, he was just a tall bearded man, oh, and he had to add a bald head. Wearing a purple coat with gold threads decorated with dragons and phoenixes, it is a creature that is considered a sacred beast in the East, and is said to be able to turn evil into good fortune.
Listening to his subordinates telling cold jokes, Karumen laughed heartily, resolving the embarrassment of no one making a sound. However, he did not refute Lanster's statement.
"It looks like there are still people who haven't made reservations. But it doesn't matter, whoever it is, hurry up and serve tea. With a wave of his hand, Karuman commanded the member whose name he didn't know. The member gave a military salute and ran into the basement with a bazooka on his shoulder.
"That...... Mr. Carrumun...... "Lloyd's eyes kept on the member who had gone downstairs until his back disappeared behind the door, and then he looked back. "We have come by appointment. You seem to have said that we are welcome to come over, and that you are giving us a half-discount on this. ”
As he spoke, Lloyd showed the thin gold card he had always held in the palm of his hand.
Karumon suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha, I'm really a noble person." Sorry sorry, as compensation, I give you a twenty-fifty discount. Hahaha. ”
That's not how noble people forget things at all...... Yu mentally corrected Karumen's inappropriate words. Carefully looking at the weapons around him, he was safe when he came, and today Lancet didn't know why, it didn't stimulate him like the last time, and the sense of crisis that forced him to run away didn't appear today. That's a good thing, at least it's easy to talk about.
But..................
"It's expensive! You can buy a chariot for the price, I say! ”
Randy, who had been nervous, suddenly shouted, and several people followed his fingers to look over, only to see that he was referring to an oversized sniper rifle, which was more than the heavy machine gun held by the security guard at the door, and the total length was more than 5 sub-distances, just looking at it felt terrifying.
Bigger is not always better, but good guns tend to be bulky and require a lot of parts to maintain excellent performance. According to the nature of the Karuman Foundation, it is not expected that they will deliberately make any weapons with exaggerated appearance but mediocre power.
Of course, its price is even more surprising than its size. Underneath the pitch-black murder weapon was a small silver metal sign with its price engraved on it.
"Will anyone really buy a sniper rifle of 9.6 million?"
Randy looked at the appalling price and protested disappretently.
"That, Randy......" Ellie stopped talking, and Randy saw that she was afraid of being angry, and quickly said "What?" "This kind of half-talk attitude is the most difficult thing to do.
With Randy's consent, Ellie timidly corrected his mistake: "You're wrong, it's not 9.6 million ......"
"Ha, I'll just say, how can it be sold so expensive......" Randy stiffly disguised his embarrassment.
Although 960,000 is also expensive, it is not incomprehensible considering the high power of the weapon.
Hearing him say this, Ellie's embarrassed look on her face became even heavier.
"That...... The price of this gun is ...... 96 million ......"
