Although the shallow port is a city, it is really nothing more than the port of Astoria. After the end came, a group of refugees came to this port, relying on the special geographical location here to establish a small base, as more and more refugees came in, the shallow water port has gradually changed from a small base to a small city with a permanent population of 2,000.

Although it is inconspicuous compared to the metropolis with a population of 100,000 before the war, it is an amazing achievement in this day and age.

"Well, an outsider, or a yellow race." Just as Ding Hao was about to enter the city, the guard on the right side of the city gate suddenly stopped in front of Ding Hao, "Boy, the first time you came to the shallow port?" ”

"That's right." Ding Hao subconsciously touched the grip of the muffled M9 pinned to the outside of his left leg, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just giving you some warning." The guard glanced at Ding Hao's movements, then took a step back, "This is a shallow water port, a place where rules are spoken, don't cause trouble here, otherwise I will cut off your limbs and throw you into the sea to feed the fish." ”

"I'm not going to cause trouble for no reason." Ding Hao stared at the guard's eyes without showing weakness, "But I don't mind beating it back to my hometown when trouble comes to my door, no matter who the other party is." ”

The guard was uncomfortable by Ding Hao, and took two steps back, "Okay, okay, welcome to the shallow water port, you can go in." ”

"Wait......" Ding Hao only took two steps and turned around, looked at the sparsely populated city gate and the idle guards, and took out three white crystal nuclei from his pocket, "I see that you are quite idle, do you want to make some extra money?" ”

"What are you going to do?" For the sake of the crystal nucleus, the guards showed their patience. 30 yuan is not much, but it is enough to go to the bar for a night.

"I'm a mercenary coming to a shallow port for the first time, and I want to know what kind of service I can get in a shallow port, after all, it's not easy to find a decent city these days." Ding Hao stuffed the crystal nucleus into the guard's hand. "If you don't mind."

"It's a small thing." Looking at the crystal nucleus in his hand, the guard who had been keeping a straight face finally showed a smile, "Although our shallow water port is not big, it is well equipped. You can find weapons, armor, and medical shops in the commercial area in the center of the city, and although they may seem like small shops, they are all big companies behind them, so you can buy them with confidence. Of course, they don't just sell things, they also buy materials. ”

Under the influence of the crystal nucleus, the guard's eloquence seems to have become better.

"If you're tight on money and want to earn some pocket money, the mercenary guild is on the west side of the city, close to the sea, and it's easy to find, where you can take on quests in exchange for pay."

Originally, the bar in Coppertown was a mission release location for the Mercenary Guild, and the shallow port, which was more prosperous than Coppertown, had a special small stronghold, and compared to a part-time bar, the service provided by a specialized stronghold was obviously more complete.

"And where to live?" Ding Hao asked.

"For outsiders, there are three places to live, one is the Bone Hotel in the north of the city, which is cheap and suitable for the poor, and the second is the Rose Hotel in the south, which is a high-end place for VIPs, and it costs a lot of money to get in. But if you can get in, the people there will definitely treat you like a father. The last one is the salted fish bar in the west, the fee is moderate, and it is close to the mercenary union, the service is also good, by the way, the special service there is also good. The guard had a look on his face that all men understood.

"Oh, thank you." Ding Hao silently wrote down what the guards said, and then entered the city.

Walking on the crowded streets, Ding Hao began to think about the specific matters of finding Ding Huahai. Half a month has passed since the first encounter with the traveling merchant and the news of Ding Huahai, plus the time when the traveling merchant and Ding Huahai were separated, that is to say, Ding Huahai appeared here 45 days ago and killed three marauder teams.

To tell the truth, 45 days have passed, and Ding Hao estimates that Ding Huahai has already left here, so it seems that he must find some well-informed people to ask.

Ding Hao took out the badge that Gabrises gave him before leaving Seattle, maybe the salted fish bar would be a good place to ask, but before going to the salted fish bar, there are still some things to do.

……

The "Defense" equipment store, although the name is a bit stupid, but this is the largest and best armor store in the entire shallow water port. As Ding Hao approached, the glass sliding door of the armor store automatically opened, and a warm breath came to the surface, dispelling the chill of late autumn. Good guy, there is actually an air conditioner installed in it, thinking of this, Ding Hao couldn't help but turn his head to look at the simple house built of iron sheet and steel pipes nearby, and then stepped into this double-storey luxury equipment store built of reinforced concrete.

"Welcome, what do you need?" As Ding Hao entered, the waiter in the supermarket came up with a programmed smile to ask Ding Hao about his needs, and he didn't have any disrespect at all because of Ding Hao's mud-stained and scratched combat uniform.

"Do you accept materials here?" Ding Hao pointed to the hemp bag placed at the door.

"Uh......" The unsightly sack made the waiter hesitate, in case it was just some worthless garbage, it would definitely not escape a scolding, after all, there are too many people who take garbage as a treasure these years.

"We only accept medium and high-end materials here." The waiter tried to make his tone as tactful as possible, so as not to irritate the tattered man in front of him, although he looked handsome.

"That's fine, call your person in charge of collecting materials or the boss to come." Ding Hao dragged the heavy sack into the store, then stood aside and waited. The bearskin and bear bones of mutant bears are top-notch materials no matter how you look at them.

"Wait a minute." The waiter poured a glass of water and handed it to Ding Hao, "Please sit down and rest, they will be here soon." ”

"It's okay, I'll stand up first." After two full days of eating and sleeping in the open, and another day of heavy rain, Ding Hao is now covered in mud and dirty. "I'm not comfortable sitting on the couch right now."

The waiter who understood what Ding Hao meant glanced at him gratefully, then turned around and left, and in less than three minutes, he walked over with a short and fat middle-aged man.

"I'm the boss here, I heard you have high-end materials for sale?" The owner of the equipment shop walked up to Ding Hao and asked, not only in his words, but also on his face full of doubt.

"Now, it's all over there." Ding Hao understood what the boss meant, and kicked the sack directly, and immediately a white bone fell to the ground, making a crisp sound like a jade impact.

Hearing the sound, the equipment store owner subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he saw the shape and color of the bones, his eyes widened directly.

"VIP! VIP! The boss squatted down directly and stuffed the bones on the ground into the sack, and then tightly tugged at the opening of the sack with both hands to lift it up, "Guest, please come to the VIP room with me, I think we have to talk about this business." ”

But the sack full of various materials weighed at least 100 kilograms, and the owner of the equipment store couldn't carry it at all, Ding Hao saw this and walked over directly, and gently picked up the sack with one hand, "You lead the way." ”

"This must be the rib of a mutant bear." In the VIP room, Makula, the owner of the gear shop, was scrutinizing the bones stacked on the table with a magnifying glass in hand, and her cheeks flushed with excitement. "It's such a great material, look at the texture, look at the texture, it's fascinating!"

"That's right, it's a mutant bear with mutated bones, and it took a lot of effort for me to kill it." Ding Hao, who had changed into a brand new casual clothes, was sitting comfortably on the sofa drinking hot milk tea, answering some of Makula's doubts by the way.

"It's really a hero out of a teenager." Makula put down the magnifying glass in his hand, "There is no problem with these materials, let's talk about the price." ”

"You say."

"Hmm......" Makula pondered for a moment, "50,000 bear skins, 20,000 bear paws, and 300,000 bear bones, what do you think of the price?" ”

"Boss Makura, you can't fool people by offering a random price just because I'm young." Ding Hao smiled and put down the teacup in his hand, "Is this a second-order mutant bear, or is it a bone mutation, are you sure these materials are worth so much?" ”

Bear mutant beasts are not easy to mess with, if calculated in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat power of ordinary brown bears is equal to an elite special ghoul, a first-order mutant bear can single-handedly take on 8 night demons, and the one killed by Ding Hao is estimated to be a second-order, and the combat power is already equivalent to two tank ghouls, if there is no black witch frog poison, Ding Hao has no way to take this mutant bear. Because of this, the materials produced by the mutant bear can be regarded as the top class.

It's broken, I've met someone who knows how to do it! Hearing Ding Hao say this, Macoola suddenly felt bad. In fact, Ding Hao didn't know how to do it, the first pot of gold in the game was earned from the mutant bear, and he was familiar with the price of the mutant bear material.

"That's it, the price of the bear's skin and bear's paw remains the same, and I will pay 400,000 for the bear bone! This is already the highest price. Makula said with a loss-making look on his face.

"Excuse me, do you need me to teach you what this bone is for?" Ding Hao crossed his fingers on the table and looked at Macura with a smiling expression.

This kind of bone is usually cut into small square pieces with a side length of 1 cm and a thickness of 2 mm, and then combined with each other, only one layer can make the 7.62mm intermediate power bullet helpless, and the two layers can even block the 7.62mm full-power bullet, and the defense capability is equivalent to the heavy body armor of a fearless warrior. Moreover, compared to ceramics and metals, bone is inherently lightweight, even if it is made into a full-body armor, it will not affect the movement because of the weight, and it is not a problem to make six or seven sets of these materials on the table.

As for the full-body armor that can block 7.62mm full-power bullets, a set of three or four hundred thousand are you embarrassed to put it out for sale?

"And how much are you going to sell it for?" Makula opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, she could only wipe the sweat from her face and asked.

"I don't want you much, add up to 1.2 million." The 1.2 million yuan sounded like 120 yuan in Ding Hao's mouth, "If you promise, you will make a deal, if you don't promise, I can go to the weapon shop next door and ask." ”
