Chapter 149: Before the Journey
Liao Qichang locked the door of the store tightly, and the whole person shrank behind the counter of the store, holding a homemade Bayi bar tightly in his hand.
At the beginning of the riot, he alertly closed the door of the shop and waited for the chaos to pass.
"Knock knock!"
There was a sudden knock on the door. Liao Qichang's heart trembled violently.
"There are no strangers here, I have a gun, if you dare to break in, I'll shoot!"
As an old fritter who has been messing around in a wasteland for half his life, he first showed his strength to keep strangers outside the door from breaking in. He then offers another option for those outside the door to prevent them from jumping over the wall in desperation.
"You just have to keep running down, run more than 200 meters, and you will see an abandoned mine, as long as you hide in it, no one will be able to find you inside."
With that, he gripped his rifle tightly and waited for someone outside to make a decision.
"It's me."
A familiar voice suddenly came in from outside the door, Liao Qichang hurriedly put down the gun in his hand, took out the key and opened the anti-lock door.
But when I opened the door, there was no one on the empty overhang, only a place of debris and garbage. A gust of air rushed past Liao Qichang's side, making him shiver violently, thinking that he had encountered a ghost. He hurriedly closed the door again, and when he wanted to retract back into the counter, he suddenly found Li Mu sitting on the counter and staring directly at him.
"Sir!"
Liao Qichang was about to speak, but Li Mu made a silent gesture to silence him.
There was silence in the gun shop. It wasn't long before the sound of heavy tires scraping against the ground could be heard on the street outside. The roar of a high-powered engine is like the roar of a monster. It was a heavy trailer transporting power armor.
A condensed wave of spiritual power pierced through the exterior wall of the store. Swept over the two inside. It was the psychic of the sheriffs, trying to find Ahmed's figure.
Unfortunately, they will never find Ahmed in the Mine Market. Because he's not here at all. He waited for an angry Iminduan to go to Ouroboros' trouble.
Li Mu's only worry was that Gu Ming and Gu Yang would be discovered by the sheriffs, but he attracted almost all of the sheriffs' attention to Ahmed. With the Brotherhood of Liberty gaining experience against the sheriffs, they have a slim chance of being caught.
Liao Qichang squatted on the ground, opened the drawer of the counter, took out a slender aluminum box from it, and put it on the table.
The aluminum case was opened, and inside was a rifle with a metallic cold glow, an anodized pull handle, a barrel bushing. The front sights and the illuminator have a matte black. The stainless steel pallet plate and magazine are also black oxidized and polished.
This is exactly the 14.5mm caliber sniper rifle that Li Mu ordered Liao Qichang to make.
Li Mu grabbed the handle on the rifle and held the entire heavy rifle in his hand. I pulled the handle and found that the movement of the bolt was very smooth, the tolerance of the parts was very small, and the cutting of the gun body was also very fine, and there were no burrs. Liao Qichang obviously didn't deal with things as before, but spent a lot of energy on this gun.
Liao Qichang rubbed his hands a little uneasily, because of the lack of precision processing technology and materials, he could not make a liquid gas buffer device. The expansion valve and chamber of such a device require a high degree of precision. It's not something that can be made in an ordinary small workshop. And because of Li Mu's request, he did not install a brake at the muzzle.
The huge charge of the 14.5×114mm large-caliber machine gun cartridge makes the recoil of this rifle amazing. Plus the weight of the barrel of 26 kg. This rifle is simply not available to ordinary people.
"Very good."
Li Mu looked at the gun in his hand and nodded, Li Mei with a biochemical bandage. This recoiled sniper rifle can be easily operated. As for the brakes, they will cause a huge muzzle flame and floating dust to be generated when firing, which is very dangerous in the Crisis of Lakimbed.
Liao Qichang breathed a big sigh of relief. A small wooden case was removed from the counter.
"This is my own ammunition, twenty rounds of hard-core armor-piercing shells. Fifty high-explosive rounds, and eighty ordinary rounds. ”
Li Mu's palm fluctuated with spiritual energy. Putting all the bullets and rifles into the wave particle conversion rune, he took out a small bag of gold coins from his arms, counted them, and threw them to Liao Qichang.
"Have you received any of those scrapped guns lately?"
Liao Qichang, who was counting the gold coins happily, heard Li Mu's words and suddenly stiffened.
"How is it possible, the guns in the store are all made by myself, how can I collect all that garbage."
Li Muhu glanced at him suspiciously, he knew the unspoken rules among those gunsmiths, they often bought those scrapped guns from the hands of scavengers, removed those barely usable parts, simply removed the rust, and then took them out and used them again.
"I suddenly remembered, I haven't confiscated my dividends this month, you take out the account book, and I'll check the accounts properly."
"Yes! Yes! Recently, Lao Yang, who had been scavenging the waste, didn't know that he had found a small batch of old guns from there, and begged me to accept them, but I had to accept them for him. ”
As he spoke, he led Li Mu into the studio.
As soon as they were opened, a rusty smell came to their nostrils. Li Mu looked at the pile of garbage piled up in the corner, and his eyelids jumped.
"This is a small batch in your mouth, there are at least a hundred of them here!"
He frowned at the pile of guns, most of them rusty, some of which were no longer in their original shape. The handguard and butt forks on the guns were cracked, and some were even eaten off by insects and tied together with duct tape.
Barely picking out two of them that were in good condition, and the barrel was not so badly worn, he pulled the bolt and checked the chamber, removed the new recoiling spring and bolt mount from the rifle hanging on the gun carriage, and replaced the old parts that were badly aged. Electrical tape was wrapped around the butt and handguard several times to prevent them from falling apart when the gun was fired.
He nodded with satisfaction, and Bayi carried it because of the huge production and excellent reliability before the war. Most of the marauders and civilians use it. Bullets are easy to find, and no one in Lakin Bede suspects their identity from the firearms.
"Don't be empty during this time. Make an extra batch of guns and keep them safe. I will also make a batch of bullets, and I will send someone to collect them when the time comes. ”
Li Mu took down two boxes of 7.62mm caliber bullets from the counter and said to Liao Qichang.
"This"
Liao Qichang looked at Li Mu with some hesitation, secretly hiding a large number of firearms, even in a colony where gun control is very loose, it is illegal. And the parts imported from Zhongzhou are engraved with numbers, and who bought them is recorded. If there are few batches, it will naturally not attract attention, but if there is a group of people with the gun he made and make big news. Then the sheriff can come to the door and invite him to tea based on the number of the internal parts of the firearm.
"I'll double the price."
As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Liao Qichang nodded busily.
If there is a profit of fifty percent of the capital. If it has 100 percent profit, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.
Liao Qichang doesn't even need 300 percent, and 50 percent of the profit is enough for him to abandon all discipline. But he pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that all the money he earned had to be divided into half by Li Mu. Then this doubles the price, isn't it the original price?
His intestines were blue in an instant, but he didn't dare to regret it, so he could only swallow the bitter water into his stomach.
*************
on the dining table. The Great Elder carefully ate the last grain of rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and drank from the water cup that he had in his hand.
"You're doing a great job. Father and son have settled in a secret place, except for a few people who can definitely be trusted. No one knew that the two of them were in our hands. ”
She said to Li Mu with an approving gaze.
"You're going to go to Larkin Bede the day after tomorrow, stay safe. It wasn't a good place, and the Freedom Brotherhood had been there for a while while on the run. It's the Corpse Gang who controls it. It was a school of psionic magic in Zhongzhou, and they had existed since before Zhuxia was established. They use ruthless psionic magic to control the people of the ghettos. After being severely injured by Yuan Zongbao, under the big boss, a total of thirty-six Yin Corpse Gang powerhouses were easily killed by him. ”
The Great Elder sighed with emotion, Yuan Zongbao was indeed a masterpiece of a generation. Arguably one of the strongest men ever seen by mankind.
"The battered Corpse Gang has become street rats under the blow of the council. After the Nanyang Trading Company opened up the route between Zhongzhou and Xinlinfen, it soon fled to the Deccan Gaoyuan. They are the third largest force in the Deccan Plateau after Parliament and Ouroboros. ”
"The Brotherhood of Liberty fled to Larkin Bayde. My father had several conflicts with the leader of the Corpse Gang, and finally had no choice but to leave there. But I also remember the underground river that leads to Larkin Bede. You can enter Larkin Bede from the Underground River. ”
Larkin Bede is located in the depths of the wilderness, which once housed the most prosperous city in the entire Deccan Plateau. The city covers an area of more than six thousand square meters. The shock wave of the nuclear bomb and the radiation contamination devastated it. The Necros could not control a tiny part of the entire center of Larkin Bede.
The outer perimeter is a ruined forest of reinforced concrete, and I don't know how many powerful mutated creatures are active inside. Even a military force formed by a division is unable to move an inch in it. Sixty percent of them have not been set foot by humans since nuclear war.
Mutated creatures and complex terrain have become the safest barrier for Larkin Bayd. Let the status of the Yin Corpse Gang transcend the entire colony.
The Underworld Gang dug a passage connecting the ghast to the outside of the city, and all those entering and leaving Larkin Bed were subject to strict scrutiny, and a pass was required to enter Larkin Bayd. Numerous explosives were planted in the passage. As long as there is a slight movement, it can blow up the tunnel, isolating the inside and outside.
Li Mu nodded. The pass to and from Larkin Bede was only available to the leaders of the marauders, with special psionic markings, which were impossible to forge.
He ate the rice in the bowl haphazardly, gnawed a large roast pork leg on the side, and stood up.
Because Li Xuan didn't want to leave his brother, he kept sulking with him and hid in the room. She hasn't come down for three days, and the meals are all brought to her by Du Xiaotong.
Pulling Kunsuslu on the dining table. He picked up the food box he had prepared and walked upstairs.
"How many people did you eat in Xinlinfen?"
Li Mu walked in front. Suddenly asked. Deep down, he had always been wary of Kunsuslu. But now a considerable number of people are believed to be the ones she ate, but they were actually killed by Yi Mingduan, which made his inner vigilance loosen a little.
"Well, there are probably a dozen of them." Kunsuslu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I escaped the Yin Corpse Gang through the old sewers of the ruins, because I didn't know where to go, so I floated all the way down the sewers to a large river, and was fished up by your human fishermen with nets. They sold me to a place called Lan Kwai Fong. ”
A trace of cold sweat flowed down Li Mu's face, Lan Kwai Fong is the most upscale club* in New Linfen, and those who go there to spend are either rich or expensive.
"There was a woman there who threatened me with a dagger. Then arrange for me to mate with three male humans in a room. According to the custom of our earth star leeches, if a male wants to gain the right to mate, he must first defeat the female, and if he fails, he will be eaten. The three of them are too weak, and they are no match for me together. ”
Kunsuslu licked her plump lips, as if savoring the taste.
"Their meat is so unpalatable that I wouldn't touch the disgusting fat if I didn't have to eat the bodies of the losers. Just eating a little bit of the skin on their hands, I couldn't help but melt them into liquid with acid. ”
Li Mu was stunned
"Then the woman called me a monster. Let someone kill me, and I ate her, and then I killed the thugs. Then I will take on the form of her and wander around your human cities. A lot of male humans want to mate with me. But the strength was too weak, and it was killed by me and melted into liquid. I really didn't want to eat those stinking corpses, so I turned into a male human. That's when Anson came. He beat me and put me in Prison No. 1. ”
Kunsuslu said in a calm voice. She gestured to her face.
"This face is the face of the Lan Kwai Fong woman, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be attractive to you at all?"
"No matter who it is. If you see how you digest a piece of meat, you won't be attracted to it. ”
Li Mu took out his color-changing cloak, wrapped it around his body, and slowly disappeared into the air.
"Quickly become Du Xiaotong's appearance and trick Guancheng into opening the door."
As he spoke, he handed the food box in his hand to Kunsuslu.
"What a despicable man."
Kunsu Silu shook her head, the skin and muscles on her face melted like wax, and she squirmed to look like Du Xiaotong, and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Xuanxuan, it's time to eat."
She perfectly simulated Du Xiaotong's voice.
"Oh!"
There was the sound of running and moving the stool in the room, and Li Xuan stood on the stool and looked at the people outside the door vigilantly through the cat's eye on the door.
"Sister Du, get out of the way, I want to see if my brother is hiding behind you."
Kunsuslu spread her hands and stepped out of the way.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, jumped off the stool, and unscrewed the locked door.
"I'm so hungry, Sister Du, what delicious food did you bring me?"
She took the food box from Kunsuslu and opened the lid expectantly.
At this moment, two palms clamped her little head, holding down the fat and tender flesh on her face and whirling.
"You little girl still knows you're going to be hungry!"
"Ah!!h
Li Xuan screamed, waving his two small arms, trying to break the hand that was pressed on his face.
"Sister Du, you and your brother lied to me together!"
Kunsusi wiped her face and changed back to her original form.
"I'm not your Sister Du."
Li Mu grabbed Li Xuan's small body with both hands and looked at her eyes.
"Kunsu Silu, you get out of here first, I have something to say to Guanxuan."
Kunsu Silu was about to watch a good show, but closed the door and left dissatisfied.
"Guanxuan, you must know that my brother asked you to leave the Deccan Plateau for your own good."
Li Mu's brows furrowed slightly, he took a deep breath, and said to Li Xuan.
"I don't want you to be good for me, you never consider my feelings, woo, I just want to be with my brother, why should I leave alone."
Li Xuan's eyes were red, and as soon as he got wet, tears rolled down. Li Mu wiped away the tears on his sister's cheeks with his rough palm. wanted to take it back, but she didn't let her leave.
"You are the most important person in my heart. Sister Li Mei is very strong, I don't need to worry about her. But you're different, what your brother has to do is dangerous and can't guarantee your safety. It will be safe for you and Sister Shen to go to Zhongzhou, you study hard there to become stronger, and then your brother will take you back here and fight together. ”
Li Mu looked at his tearful sister distressedly, and said in the softest voice.
"But I'm like a brother, what should you do with Sister Li Mei?"
Li Xuan's moist eyes were wet, and tears were about to roll down again.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Shen and my brother have added a friend of the beep boy, you miss your brother, you can use it to make a video call with your brother."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Li Mu rubbed her little head, took out a jade from his arms, and stuffed it into her hand. This jadeite is an imperial green that was very precious even before the war, pure green, like a pool of solidified blue water, green dripping oil. It was taken out of Anson's collection by Li Mu.
The psychic energy of the Emerald Transformation has incredible healing powers, and this Emerald is the best of the best.
"This stone is a gift from your brother, you should not show it to anyone, and when you know what it is for, use it."
Li Mu said solemnly. He knew his sister could understand what he meant.
"Hmm!"
Li Xuan nodded seriously.
"Then let's have dinner, my brother has brought you a lot of delicious food." (To be continued.) )
