Chapter 101: A New Outfit
"Boss, 12.7 caliber bullets, what price?"
Gu Cheng came to a remote corner weapon shop and knocked on the transparent counter, the revolver and flintlock pistol inside seemed to be selling very well.
Gu Cheng suddenly had the urge to make additional purchases again.
The city of Rhine, on the other hand, is still a region governed by the rule of law.
Weapons shops like this are all in a semi-gray industrial zone.
Not much, but not a lot either.
Slightly look for a homeless man on the street corner, ask a little, Farrell is in place, there is nothing to find.
Firearms, ammunition, whiskey, and huazi are all labeled as contraband.
Regular shops, and very few merchants, venture to sell these.
However, there are speculators everywhere.
After a vigorous gang purge, the number of sales decreased, but it also became a semi-legal industry.
The reason for this is nothing more than market demand!
Like these gray industries opened in relatively hidden areas, the owner behind them is a relative of a certain official.
The harsh reality has never changed.
"500 Farrell in a box. Box of 50 rounds! This young gentleman, I think I must go far away! Do you want to buy another magazine pack? β
The shopkeeper was an old man with white hair, wearing a brown leather jacket, with a magazine holster worn from his waist to his shoulder, and a bulging holster with a revolver lying quietly beside his right hand.
Wearing a peaked cap, the small eyes exposed by the folds of the eyelids, only the slightest slit always reveals greed and vigilance.
From the counter, he took out a boxy carton and put it in front of Gu Cheng!
There is also a military-specific winged icon on it, which always reminds everyone of its origin.
"Of course. If you have a more complete set of heat-resistant clothing here, I won't skimp on my Farrel. β
Reaching out and pulling out a wad of bills from the pocket of his clothes, he easily took the large box of bullets into his arms.
Gu Cheng is very comfortable with completing his own procurement so easily.
The old man also accepted it happily, but in the face of Gu Cheng's inquiry, his expression was quietly embarrassed, and he still said truthfully.
"How can a weapon store sell clothing... But I do know that there seems to be a good shop nearby... β
The old man smiled and stroked the white beard on his chin slowly, but he had no intention of continuing.
Gu Cheng was stunned and didn't hesitate too much.
directly took out a 100-dollar face value of Farell.
As a member of the Rhine family, money has never been a problem.
The old man looked Gu Cheng up and down with a little appreciation, whistled briskly, and happily pocketed the tip.
It seems that because of the guests, the old man's guard against today's guests has also decreased a lot.
At least, his right hand finally broke away from the shell of the holster, and his body gradually relaxed, and he directly exposed his back in front of Gu Cheng.
The originally tense and wrinkled face seemed to be slowly relaxed due to the smooth development of the situation.
The two small eyeballs also resurfaced, full of funny.
Crossbody magazine bag out!
"From here, go west and turn left at the third fork, and there's a great place called the Denim Store."
Gu Cheng nodded and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, he found something interesting at a counter near the door.
"What's that?"
Pointing to a place where there were stacks of cardboard boxes on the counter, Gu Cheng was very curious.
Those carton pens are much shorter than the boxes containing bullets.
The thickness is only the length of the fingernail, however, the cover on it is a little dazzling.
A beautiful girl, dressed boldly and with a large area of bare skin.
The index finger and middle finger hold a small smoking wooden stick, the eyes are shy, and the mouth is half open, giving people a different kind of temptation.
There are also big men wearing cowboy clothes, riding tall horses, and holding smoking sticks in their mouths, and the background is a desert, showing the tenderness of the iron man to the fullest.
These oil and ink paintings are narrow but exquisite, and Gu Cheng is in the manor, and such handicrafts are rare.
Generally, the ink paintings in the manor are used to decorate the walls, aisles, corridors and other empty walls.
Similar to this kind of small and beautiful painting used as a packaging ornament, Gu Cheng has seen it for the first time in this world.
"Guest, this is a good thing. Especially for those who have been in the desert all year round, this is a good thing to relieve loneliness. β
The old man looked at the place Gu Cheng was pointing, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He was really not a competent shopkeeper and forgot to sell such treasures to customers.
Looking at the old man with a face full of chrysanthemums, Gu Cheng opened the box and put it to his mouth and sniffed it by the way.
"Why, this is... Gu Cheng felt the smell of tobacco in his nasal cavity, and said with some uncertainty.
"Cigars?"
"Guests. It seems that you are also knowledgeable, so I won't introduce you much. But we usually call this Huazi! Refresh, awaken and wonderful. β
Gu Cheng was stunned and played with Huazi, who was the thickness of his little thumb in his hand, and was a little distracted for a while.
Have you come to this point in the past few years?
You know, the steam trains are only just getting better, and the industrial revolution has just begun.
After hesitating, Gu Cheng suddenly spoke.
"How much?"
The old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Chenghui, 100 each." β
Gu Cheng looked at the Huazi who only had twelve in this box, his eyelids were slightly raised, and his right hand had once again penetrated into his inner pocket.
Under the greedy gaze of the white-haired old man, a small silver light swept directly in front of him.
After a second of stunned thought, the old man touched his slightly tingling neck in disbelief, a trace of warmth, a trace of viscosity like a spring.
His eyes widened, blood filled it, and he glared at the young man in front of him viciously, and finally slowly fell on the counter.
Looking at the corpse of the old man who had lost his voice, Gu Cheng shook his head and sighed slightly: "I'm sorry." I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't have enough money with me. β
In the store, I found a few boxes of Huazi to bring with me, these things may be really needed on the desert journey.
I took three more boxes of ammunition and glanced at the various exquisite, revolver firearms on the transparent counter.
Gu Cheng sighed slightly, and finally chose two good-looking ones to put in the two holsters on his waist.
It's not that I haven't thought about packing them all, it's just that I have too many things on me.
And so many things are not good for hiding.
The three boxes of bullets were already packed with bulging cartridges, and Gu Cheng's physique, which was much stronger than ordinary people, already felt a hint of heaviness.
Gu Cheng's current clip belt on his body is no longer limited to the one he just bought, one belt clip is tied to the waist, the other two cross through the shoulder, from the back to the waist, and the two holsters are hung around the waist.
After taking back the money that the old man had taken from him one by one, Gu Cheng did not stop, and walked directly towards the clothing store.
Dozens of minutes later, the denim shop was in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Gu Cheng was wearing spur boots, light blue jeans on his lower body, and a jacket on his upper body, with bullet clips on the surface.
The delicate face, coupled with this denim suit, gave Gu Cheng more mature charm.
Rubbing his smooth chin, Gu Cheng always felt that something was missing!
"Guest, your hat."
Receiving a brown and yellow cowboy hat from a beautiful woman, Gu Cheng was satisfied again.
Sure enough, with the hat, the temperament of the whole person has been raised a lot.
A cowboy without a hat is soulless.
Life should have rituals and pay attention to it.
The store is huge, with layers of tulle roller blinds dividing the entire space into several pieces.
Ignoring the cocoon panting behind the rolling shutters and the creaking of the overwhelmed wooden rocking chair, Gu Cheng continued to sort out his clothes without changing his face.
This is not a serious clothing store, and when Gu Cheng knew, it was already too lateγγγγγ
Skimming her eyes at the beautiful woman beside her, bowing her head slightly, and with a ruddy face, Gu Cheng didn't embarrass the other party too much, left a sum of money, and left directly.
In Gu Cheng's opinion, this beautiful woman is much more knowledgeable about current affairs than the owner of the gun shop.
At least not as exaggerated as a cigar of 100 Farrele.
There's no such way to rob a robbery, right?
Gu Cheng walked on the street, took out a white-scale match, and lightly swiped it on his heel.
The huge flames burst out directly, and his hands were put together and handed to his mouth.
Take a deep breath, and the refreshing smoke unique to Huazi flows directly into the body.
Perhaps because of his body, Gu Cheng didn't feel uncomfortable symptoms such as choking and tears.
When inhaled, it feels a little numb, mixed with the unique aroma of tobacco.
The first time, it was pretty good.
Biting Huazi at the corner of his mouth, Gu Cheng walked on the crowded street. didn't care, the eyes that were frequently projected around him, Gu Cheng was already completely immersed in his own world at this moment.
The sun in the sky is gradually slanting westward, the healthy sunlight drives away the darkness, and the street under your feet is also a piece of gold, full of harvest!
Walking slowly, breathing in the fresh air that was different from the cemetery, for a while, Gu Cheng was full of deep nostalgia for this world.
A reverie that I never want to return to the cemetery can't help but come to my heart.
This is the life I want.
Smiling silently, Gu Cheng walked directionlessly through the Rhine City.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to start my life in exile. So is Luke's peak rise finally about to kick off? Time flies! β
Gu Cheng thought like this in his heart, but there was still no pause under his feet.
This feeling of strolling in the sunset is comfortable and enjoyable, and it makes people deeply fascinated.
With a hint of consciousness, he sent a message to Fenrich through the Steam Glove.
"Chick. I'm going to rob someone, are you ready? β
didn't wait for the other party's reply, Gu Cheng paused, and directly took the rail train that came next to him.
Rail trains are dotted throughout the city of the Rhine, and even in the poorest eastern suburbs, there are several depots for use.
This is the convenience that comes with industrial development.
At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened.
In the eastern suburbs, where civilians gather, fights and all kinds of abuse can sometimes be heard in the corners. Even occasionally, a few gunshots in the distance are common.
The civilian area is so chaotic. The kingdom had no energy, and the local nobility abused their power.
However, at the junction of the Eastern and Southern Districts.
It is also the dividing line between the middle class and the people at the bottom.
Lily Road.
At the moment, there is no one, no quarrels, and no pedestrians!
People seem to ignore the existence of this place, several roads facing the street are jammed, horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws pass one after another, but this place is empty, deserted and suspicious!
It's like being hated, ignored, or even abandoned.
Silent, dark, gloomy, damp.
A flickering street lamp stood quietly on the side of the road in the distance.
