Volume 2: The Stairway to Heaven (14)

As soon as the day dawned, Liu Yuxin and they went on the road, and last night Gong Liang not only repaired the heavy truck loaded with mecha, but also removed a cannon from other vehicles and installed it on the top of the truck. Although the combat power of the mecha is very high-end, it is also very easy to attract people's attention and produce a sense of peeping, so it is better not to use it casually when there is no need.

A lonely heavy truck on the road naturally attracted the attention of many people, and the convoy that passed by Liu Yuxin did not fail to comment on him. Because the wilderness is now full of all kinds of risks, there are almost no lone vehicles outside the safety zone, and they will be left alone in the buffer zone, either the whole convoy will be separated due to an accident, or the artist will not take the robbers and xenomorphs in the wild to heart.

Liu Yuxin and Gong Liang took turns driving and finally arrived at a large gathering place in the afternoon. This gathering place was also a post station set up by the Alliance, but after the Xenomorphs in the wild evolved to become more powerful, the Alliance did not have enough strength to maintain the high maintenance cost of the post station and was abandoned.

Local forces took over the bases after signing agreements with the Coalition and continued to use them to provide paid services to convoys carrying supplies.

Of course, without the Alliance's powerful force, the Gathering Ground will often lose some of its manpower and materials in the Alien Tide, and the administrator of the Gathering Area needs to operate reasonably to make up for the losses.

Gong Liang jumped out of the car in front of the thick gate and handed a looted cigarette to the guards at the city gate:

"Brother, I want to ask you something, does the Tenglong Caravan know?"

The guard flicked the cigarette in his hand, put it on his nose and took a deep breath, his originally tense face slowed down, and he reached out and pointed to the road:

"The dragon caravan, huh? I walked along the road early in the morning, and you definitely won't be able to catch up today! ”

Gong Liang and Liu Yuxin, who had just come down, glanced at each other, and said with a smile:

"We want to trade weapons for a little supply in the market here."

The guard looked at their big truck, the bullet marks on it that had just been repaired were particularly piercing, and he leaned into Gong Liang's ear and whispered:

"The trading market is in the Eastern District, and the price is very fair to find Lao Liao with weapons. If Lao Liao can't eat it, he can also find a one-eyed, there is almost nothing he can't eat, but the price...... Hey, hey, hey! ”

Gong Liang patted the guard on the shoulder, and secretly stuffed a pack of high-energy biscuits into the guard's arms.

"Don't forget to pay! The terminal on the left collects credits, and the toll office collects physical goods. ”

The guards became more enthusiastic, waving goodbye to them as they entered the gathering place.

After paying a certain fee, Liu Yuxin and Gong Liang entered the gathering place.

The entrance to the gathering place is the east gate, and the first thing many convoys do when they enter is to put out their goods in the open space not far from the city gate. For Gong Liang, who came relatively late, he could only park his vehicle in a deeper part of the East Market.

After parking the car in an open space, Gong Liang stepped off the heavy truck:

"I'll go to Lao Liao to see if he can change some food and fuel for us, if we can't negotiate, we can only give the BP2000 magazine. You are here to watch the vehicles, the gathering place is different from the post station, there are outlaws and mobs everywhere, you need to be more careful"

Liu Yuxin nodded and climbed into the machine gun position on the roof of the car.

Gong Liang quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving Liu Yuxin alone to be anxious and vigilant around, fortunately, the cannon on the roof of the car still had some deterrent power, and no one wanted to force close to the heavy truck after half an hour.

One-eyed is a ruffian who is engraved with the word "scoundrel" from head to toe, and it is his basic job to shuttle around the East Market every day to pick up leaks, and at this time he once again entered the market, hoping to have a little unexpected harvest to support himself in this gathering place of the famous gold cave "Fulai Casino" chic for a night.

After walking through most of the market, One-Eye still hasn't found a suitable target, and there are some things on the market that are too common to arouse his interest at all, and One-Eye, who has reached the most marginal position, begins to be depressed.

Suddenly, the only remaining eye of the one-eyed was brightened by a metallic reflection, and the whole person immediately lifted his spirits, and he came to the side of Liu Yuxin's truck with a smile on his face.

"Stop!"

Liu Yuxin pulled up the cannon and aimed it at the uninvited man, and Liu Yuxin could clearly read the word greed from his glowing single eye.

One eye can see more clearly, yes, the wrist of the gunner on the roof of the car is indeed a smart terminal!

It's a rarity.,The only thing that can wear it is a soldier who has made a war exploit (given by the army and provides a full set of services) or an alliance elite.,Except for a few people with characteristics.,The entire gathering place can't see a few pieces all year round.。。 ,

"Brother, do you want to trade weapons for something?"

Liu Yuxin said:

"How do you know?"

The new tiles of the cannon in your hand have obviously been carefully selected, the shells on the chain are also the most expensive armor-piercing, and the clothes on your body are shabby, so you can guess that you have a lot of weapons and a desperate lack of other supplies.

And he is also a rookie who has little experience going out! One-eyed added another label to Liu Yuxin in his heart.

"How do you know?"

"Coincidentally, I'm one of the biggest arms buyers in this place, maybe we can talk?"

The personal terminal in Liu Yuxin's hand aroused One-Eye's interest, and now she has the idea of seeing what treasures are inside.

Liu Yuxin's mind was racing, and after thinking about it, she finally agreed to One-eye's request to open the carriage to take a look. Gong Liang didn't have much confidence when he left, and even wanted to sell the BP2000 he loved (in fact, it was a magazine, and selling energy weapons in the buffer zone was too easy to trace).

One-eyed was also taken aback after Liu Yuxin opened the carriage, there were all kinds of weapons in it, long and short weapons were enough to equip a small gang of about 100 people, but what surprised him even more was the bulge at the bottom of the carriage that was tightly covered by a large tarpaulin, judging from its outline, it was clearly a mecha still mounted on the maintenance table! It's amazing!

Seeing that One-Eye was about to reach out to remove the tarpaulin, Liu Yuxin hurriedly chased after him and stretched out his hand to stop him:

"I'm sorry, but we're not going to sell this thing!"

"Oh, oh......"

One-Eye replied as if he had just woken up from a dream, and after getting close enough to the tarpaulin, he could already see the complex metal texture in the gap between them, and at the same time determined that this was a mecha that ordinary people couldn't have! This kind of valuable armed platform is usually only equipped with alliance pilots who are officially in service with the military or the top strength of the guards, and this kind of strategic material that will be looted even by retired models is impossible for a small group to have.

This mecha is undoubtedly a piece of dirt!

Who should I sell this news to? Patrol? Gathering the Ground Guard? Or is it......

Just as One-Eye was thinking about which party he would get the most out of selling this news, Liu Yuxin opened his mouth and woke him up from his sweet dream.

"How? Can you accept it? ”

The weapons in this carriage were certainly a big business, but One-Eye's mind was long gone, and he pretended to pick up a rifle and examined it absentmindedly:

"Well, little brother, what price are you going to sell these weapons for?"

This time Liu Yuxin asked, he didn't know how to speak at all.

When One-Eye saw this, he immediately borrowed the slope and got off the donkey

"Well, it's still early anyway, you go and discuss it with your companions, and I'll be back later."

Liu Yuxin, who didn't know what to do for a while, could only watch one-eyed leave.

Not long after, Gong Liang walked over with a decent middle-aged man with gold-wire glasses, Gong Liang saw that the door of the vehicle had been opened, and asked worriedly:

"What's wrong? No accidents, right? ”

"Nope"

Liu Yuxin smiled sheepishly

"A one-eyed dragon just came to see our goods."

"One-eyed dragon? Is it a one-eyed person with an inch head, a little tattoo on the back of the hand, and the whole person is full of anger? ”

The middle-aged man who came back with Gong Liang frowned and asked.

Seeing Liu Yuxin nodding, the middle-aged man continued:

"Then you have to be careful, although that guy is doing the same business as me, but he is a master who can't afford to make a profit, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't cheat others in business."

At this time, Liu Yuxin was relieved, just now he had been guilty that he had not kept the source of customers, and found that the other party was an inferior customer, but there was a sense of relief.

"I'm not going to do business with him either."

Lao Liao nodded and smiled and followed Gong Liang to the back compartment, and he immediately recognized the things in the carriage as well-informed.

"You mechs!"

Lao Liao looked surprised.

"Lao Liao, do you see that? We've got it! Keeping things practical and authentic! ”

Gong Liang was slightly proud, not everyone can have this mecha.

Lao Liao picked up a gun from the ground, and after a brief inspection, said with satisfaction:

"Not bad, not bad! The wear and tear of the guns without guns is very low. Friend, your repair ability is good! An engineering major, right? Why not stay in the safe zone and go out and run for life? ”

Listening to Lao Liao talk about his past, Gong Liang's face was covered with shadows.

"Brother Liang? Brother Liang! ”

Liu Yuxin saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stabbed Gong Liang with her hand.

"Oh, oh! Lao Liao, what do you think? All cheap handling to you! You can just prepare some fuel and food supplies for us! ”

"No problem!"

Lao Liao jumped out of the carriage and patted the plaster on his hands

"I'll find someone to help you move your things over later."

Lao Liao seemed to be quite satisfied with this business, and when he left, he was in a good mood to say goodbye to them one by one, but after walking a few steps, he deliberately turned back, pointed to the carriage and asked:

"Look at your carriage wide open, has that one-eyed dragon also seen that batch of goods?"

"I've seen it"

Liu Yuxin answered honestly.

Lao Liao said meaningfully:

"Then you have to be careful! That mech is an unimaginable asset!"
