Chapter 47: The Road to the Gun
Cicadas chirp in the empty mulberry forest, August Xiaoguan Road. Out of the plug into the cold, everywhere yellow reed grass.
The end of summer has passed, autumn in the northwest seems to have come earlier, and the weeds on the roadside are already showing signs of yellowing.
A yellow horse walked slowly along the dilapidated path, and Chi Hua, who was holding a blade of grass in his mouth, was lying on his back on the horse. Chi Hua squinted his eyes and seemed to be asleep, his body rose and fell slightly rhythmically with the horse's movement, looking at the horse swaying but not falling.
At this time, more than a month has passed since the great battle with the Hidden Dragon Society. At that time, it only took a week for the Three-Way Coalition Army to sweep through the entire Hidden Dragon Society's sphere of influence, and in the middle, it eliminated seven or eight hundred people from each camp that Hou Jian hastily gathered, but there was no trace of Pang Wenbin from beginning to end, which made the Beidou people regret the victory of this battle, and Chi Hua and Wu Yulong were even more worried about it.
After this battle, Beidou was within a radius of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, and the scenery was unique for a while. Seongsu Town has become the most prosperous town in the vicinity, mercenaries, adventurers, and post-apocalyptic merchants are all flocking to it, and the shops on both sides of the Seongsu River are now even more difficult to find, as long as you have money, almost all kinds of goods before the end of the world can be bought in Seongsu Town. But if you want to say that the business is the most prosperous, it has to be the girls of the "Holy Water Family".
The biggest beneficiary of this battle is naturally Beidou and its affiliated camps, and the escort team of Shengshui Town has expanded to 10 squadrons of 1,000 people, and seven or eight evolutionaries have taken the initiative to vote within a month. Luo Zhigang also asked Jiang Bai Chilie to return to Raj with Gyatso to rebuild the Raj camp.
But thorny problems also followed, the first thing to face was the problem of personnel and equipment after the expansion, and the guns captured after a few battles could almost make the Shengshui Town Escort have one man, but all the bullets were gone. As Chi Hua expected, there were so many guns without bullets, and all of them became burning sticks, so Chi Hua, who was implicated in this, was sent out to find bullets.
Chi Hua seemed to be asleep on horseback, but in fact he was closing his eyes and looking inward. After a period of frantic forging blades and swallowing crystal nuclei, the abnormal energy flow in Chi Hua's body has filled the entire dantian, and his body has been able to accommodate a ton of metal, and the strength and speed of his body are already 20 times that of ordinary people, as long as he pulls a little distance, he can easily dodge the bullets fired from the opposite side, and he is almost a superman.
But the ensuing distress is that the growth of the ability has also stopped, whether it is continuing to swallow the crystal nucleus or cultivating, the ability in the body has not increased at all, is this the end of human evolution? Chi Hua was very skeptical about this.
Chi Hua simply stopped thinking about things that he couldn't understand, and took the opportunity to come out to find bullets to relax, and by the way, he tried his luck to find an opportunity to break through.
"Brother Hua, you should hurry up!" Li Xiaofei and Ouyang Minglang circled their horses and ran back from the front.
Chi Hua still ignored it with his eyes closed.
Ouyang smiled evilly, lightly kicked Ah Bao next to the horse's belly, and pointed at Chi Hua again.
Ah Bao's comprehension disappeared from Ouyang's side with a flicker, and instantly appeared above Chi Hua's horse, falling straight towards the horse's back.
Chi Hua suddenly heard the wind above him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a fat, huge black and white meat ball smashing into his stomach from the air, so frightened that Chi Hua moved out with his saddle body on tiptoe.
The moment Chi Hua moved out, Ah Bao also fell heavily on the horse's back, and the smashed yellow horse neighed and the two front hooves stood up and threw Ah Bao out. As soon as Bao rolled off the horse, the hind hooves of the yellow horse also lifted up, gave Bao a heavy kick, and kicked Bao straight backwards.
Ouyang Minglang and Li Xiaofei were already so happy that they couldn't straighten their waists right away.
"Aren't you two horse racers? Why did you come back and disturb my dreams? Chi Hua crossed his waist and asked these two boys who were still having fun.
"Oh, Brother Hua is still unhappy?"
"Nonsense! I said to look for it near Xiaoqingshan, Ouyang, you have to pull me to Hualong so far away. ”
"Brother Hua, do you want to go to Xiaoqingshan or do you want to go to Aoki Cliff?" Li Xiaofei tilted his head and asked deliberately,
"Brother Hua, are you looking for bullets or do you want to shoot bullets?" Ouyang Minglang followed up again.
"I see you two boys have itchy skin!" Chi Hua sneered, jumped up and threw himself directly at the two.
"Help!" As soon as the two of them turned their horses' heads, they quickly turned their heads and ran, and Ah Bao and Huang Huma also followed, leaving behind the sound of a few big boys frolicking along the way.
Looking at the continuous mountains and ravines in front of him, Chi Hua couldn't help frowning, restrained his horse, and turned back to ask Ouyang: "This is the place we are looking for?" ”
Ouyang took out the map in his backpack and looked at it, then looked up at the terrain again, "Looking at the mountains and valleys all over here, we should be in Hualong County." ”
"So where do we go next?"
"I don't know, try your luck." Ouyang bared his teeth and said casually.
"What? You kid didn't know the place, so you encouraged Brother Luo to send me here? Chi Hua said as he stretched out his hand to grab Ouyang again.
"Stop! Brother Hua, listen to my explanation, this is the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because the mountains are deep and the ravines are deep, the transportation is inconvenient, and the natural environment is harsh, so many local farmers have become rich by making black guns. ”
"I'll use you to explain this, I don't know that Hualong is one of the three major black gun manufacturing bases in the country, and the other two are more fierce in Songtao, Guizhou and Hepu in Guangxi, it is said that even micro chong and earth cannons can be built, I am asking you where we go next?"
Ouyang Minglang shrugged his shoulders, "The information I got is that there are several villages here that sell guns to the outside world on a large scale, and they have changed from sneaking before the end of the world to openly buying and selling, as for which villages?" We'll have to try our luck and ask again. ”
Chi Hua sighed helplessly, and urged his crotch to dismount, "Let's go, the blind cat touched the dead mouse, when will I be able to go back to Aoki Cliff?" ”
Ouyang and Li Xiaofei covered their mouths behind them and snickered, not daring to laugh out loud.
......
On this day, several people came to a large stockade.
It can be seen that the gate was rebuilt after the end of the world, and the wall was built as thick as the ancient city wall, and a high lookout post was built on the wall, and a shooting hole was left on the wall battlement, and people were seen patrolling back and forth on the wall from a distance.
Before Chi Hua and the others could reach the wall, a shot suddenly hit the ground not far in front of the yellow husper, which frightened the yellow huss and took two steps back.
"Don't go any further, what are you doing?" Someone shouted at the wall.
"We're here to buy guns." Chi Hua could only shout at the wall from afar.
"Who introduced you here?"
"No one introduced us, so we took the initiative to come to the door."
"Let's go, we don't do business with outsiders."
"Let you come out and speak responsibly, I want a large number of goods, and the price is whatever you want!"
There was a sudden sound of laughter on the wall, and the guard who shouted before said in a mocking tone: "It seems that it's a chick again, do you think it's buying cabbage?" We don't sell a lot of goods! Don't talk nonsense, let's go quickly, otherwise the uncle will be unhappy and you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”
"What should I do, Brother Hua? It's already the third village, why do these villages have a rule, and they don't do the business that takes the initiative to deliver to the door? Li Xiaofei was a little frustrated on the side.
Chi Hua couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, since joining Beidou, it seems that no one has spoken to Chi Hua in this tone for a long time, the greater the ability, not only the greater the responsibility, but also the temper has become greater.
"Xiaofei, can you get me the kid who is shouting on the wall."
Li Xiaofei looked up at the wall and estimated the distance, "I'll try." ”
Li Xiaofei dismounted and took a few steps forward as he spoke, and another shot hit the ground, this time closer to Li Xiaofei.
"Stop! One step further and you're going to hit someone! ”
"Big brother, I have something in my hand, what do you see?" Li Xiaofei raised his hand and showed his palm, and continued to walk forward as he spoke.
The guard who shouted on the wall probed and looked at Li Xiaofei's palm, and a stream of white spider silk suddenly erupted from Li Xiaofei's palm, and before the guard could react to what it was, the spider silk stuck to his chest, Li Xiaofei pulled it down hard, and the unsuspecting guard was pulled off the wall at once.
Chi Hua jumped forward and stretched out his hand to catch it, and when the other guards on the wall just reacted, Chi Hua had already grabbed this person's neck and blocked it in front of him.
The sudden change also caught the other guards on the wall off guard, and they pointed their guns at the three people under the wall, but they didn't dare to shoot.
Chi Hua and the three of them slowly retreated, gradually pulling away to a distance of nearly 100 meters, "If you still want this kid to live, let your leader come out and talk to me, otherwise you will wait to collect this kid's body in 30 minutes." ”
The tall gate suddenly opened.
When Chi Hua was still surprised that the other party reacted so quickly, a man ran out of the door in a panic and ran straight in the direction where Chi Hua and the others were. This man is about thirty years old, with a bald head, a black blindfold on his left eye, and a shallow scar on the corner of his mouth, but even then the man still looks very handsome, a kind of crippled beauty.
If you can describe it, the bald head, eye patch, and scar are ugly on other men's faces, but they are cool on this man's face!
"Catch him! Don't let him run! Immediately after that, more than twenty more people rushed out of the gate, all with guns in their hands, apparently chasing the man who ran out of front of him.
The man ran quickly past Chi Hua, who was on guard, and the bald man glanced sideways at Chi Hua, but the man who didn't run two steps turned back.
"Are you here looking for bullets? Save me! I can make bullets! ”
"Friends in front, we advise you to leave the affairs of Majiazhai alone! You can't afford to mess with it! The man who chased him out shouted from behind.
If these people don't shout, because they don't know that this bald man is a good person or a bad person, Chi Hua may not really care about this idle matter, but the more these people say this, the more Chi Hua's heart will be on fire.
Chi Hua threw the hostage in his hand on Ouyang Minglang's horse, and stretched out his hand to the bald man, "Get on the horse, come with me!" ”
The man's face was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there would be a turnaround, and he jumped on the horseback with Chi Hua's strength.
Chi Hua circled the horse's head and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, "Go!" ”
