Chapter 244: Mayor Louis
In the afternoon, all the people who had gone out returned to Jack's house, and when he told everyone about the situation, it still caused a lot of nervousness.
Lao Zhang was the most vigilant, "The matter of being monitored is actually understandable, but we must be cautious in every move, and we must not commit taboos. ”
Bai Qi is a little disappreciative now, "When there were new people in the city in the city, didn't Li Ming pay attention to it, in fact, he could understand that he was afraid that the newcomers would find trouble." ”
It didn't take long for the door to be knocked, and Jack's mother opened the door and saw that it was Baker, the steward of the exchange center, and there was a middle-aged man who looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, Baker was a big man in the town, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Bei...... Mr. Baker...... You're ......"
"Hello ma'am, we are here to visit the guests staying at your house." Baker said with a smile.
Jack's mother hurriedly let them into the house, "Come in, they are upstairs, my family is poor, there is really nothing to entertain such an honorable guest as you, I will send you a few glasses of boiled water in a moment, please come in." ”
"You're welcome, ma'am." The two Bakers were guided by Jack's mother to the second floor.
Seeing Bai Qi and them huddled together in a room, he was stunned, "Hello." ”
Bai Qi's spiritual power was emanated, and he subconsciously wanted to investigate the person on Baker's side, but the mental power that had been tried and tested seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, and he couldn't penetrate into that person's mind......
"Young man, it's rude for you to use your mental power at will to others." The middle-aged man beside Baker grinned and said softly.
Bai Qi was immediately stunned, this person is also a powerful person! At the same time, everyone in the room was nervous, and Spinner got up from the ground, and because of his violent movements, he hit the ceiling directly, and almost knocked out a hole.
Balgan put his hands on the two of Baker, and the icy aura spread throughout the room.
Although Lao Zhang didn't make a big move, his hand had already touched the pouch on the side, and with his ability, even if he was injured, he could definitely launch an effective attack in the shortest possible time.
"Wow, don't be nervous, don't be nervous! We don't mean anything wrong, this is our mayor, Mr. Louis, who has come to help you heal. Baker raised his hands and explained.
"Smack!"
The sound of glass shattering sounded behind Baker and them.
Jack's mother was carrying a tray with a few water glasses on it, and when she came up, she heard Baker say that the man next to him was the mayor of the town, and that he was a man who was admired by all the real people, and he had come to his house. Overexcited, his hand shook and he broke a cup.
Louis hurriedly squatted down and helped her pick up the pieces on the ground, "I'll help you lady." ”
Flattered Jack's mother said incoherently, "No, don't, well, okay, I'll do it myself, you can come......"
Baker also helped Louis together, quickly packed up the pieces, and took the tray from Jack's mother's hand by the way, "Trouble." Next, the mayor wants to talk to these friends about something, and if you can, help us prepare some food and eat at your house later. As he spoke, he took out a handful of doomsday coins, more than twenty of them, "Spend them all, you're welcome, but please don't leak the news that the mayor is here." ”
Jack's mother was stunned and turned away.
Louis and Baker returned to the room.
Louis took off his hat and gave a slight gentlemanly salute to everyone, "Everyone, first time we met, I'm Louis, the mayor here, and it's a pleasure to meet you. After speaking, he didn't wait for others to answer, and sat on the floor by learning to look like them in vain.
Baker exited the room and stood straight in the doorway like a loyal guard.
"Mayor Louis, let me express my doubts, why did you, as the leader of this place, have such a busy schedule, why did you come here to meet a few of us strangers. I really don't understand. Lao Zhang plays the role of spokesperson.
"Sir, it seems that you are the one who needs treatment? Ouch, what kind of battle did you suffer such a serious injury, a severely damaged liver and a ruptured spleen...... With such an injury, if you are a weaker person, you can't stand it. Louis did not directly answer Lao Zhang's question, but talked about his injury.
Bai Qi's spiritual power was blocked, and he couldn't know what Louis said, so he was confused, and after Balekan next to him whispered to him, he said, "Can you see Lao Zhang's injury?" And how did you discover my psychic powers? ”
Louis smiled, "We have plenty of time, don't rush to ask questions, talk slowly, talk slowly." But it's really inconvenient. He didn't see any movement as he spoke.
However, Bai Qi was taken aback, because he clearly felt that another spiritual power was connected to the spiritual power he released, and looked at Louis in disbelief.
"So let's talk about how I noticed you." Louis said slowly, his voice was soft, magnetic, and sounded very comfortable, "From the time you entered New Urrengoy, the men I arranged have already followed you, although most people will abide by the rules of the town, but there will still be some outsiders who are unruly and cause trouble, to avoid such a thing, once there is such a sign, it will be nipped in the bud, either driven out, or killed on the spot." ”
When he said this, his tone didn't change, but he could still feel the murderous aura that emanated.
"When you took out three energy crystals at once at the exchange center, they reported the news to Baker, who told him
sued me. The energy crystal, hidden in the heart of the high-level zombie, if you don't look for it, you won't notice its existence at all, unless it's an adventure team that has come to us, they know that this thing can be exchanged for money, but the first time you obviously appeared in the town, I suspect that these energy crystals are something you can collect, why collect this thing? Because you know some of what it does! ”
Lao Zhang raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I have a good idea, the reason why the town will buy it at a high price is because you are engaged in research in this area?" I don't know how far it has got? ”
"Hahaha! Let's not be tempted unnecessarily, shall we? Chat directly about something useful. You must come from a large gathering place, and you must be very strong, and you must have well-equipped scientific research equipment and advanced researchers, otherwise it would be impossible to discover the secrets of the energy crystals! I'm here to be honest with you, the end times need the strength of human unity, and this energy crystal has a great effect on enhancing the strength of the survivors. After Louis finished speaking, he looked at Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang did not talk.
Louis was helpless and continued, "Well, it seems that it will be difficult to gain your trust if I don't show sincerity first. We're working on energy crystal weapons. After saying that, he took out a pistol from the back waist, the Colt M1873, which was a legendary revolver, and in 1956 with the popularity of American Westerns, the gun began to become popular again, and the Colt company began to copy the gun for good people and use.
It's just that the place of the runner is not a magazine, and there is an incomprehensible precision instrument on it, but the fire drill at the core can be clearly seen.
Bai Qi leaned closer like a curious baby, "This is the weapon you are talking about?" Isn't it just a replacement of the runner magazine with a fire drill? ”
"Fire drills? Is that what you call it? Sure enough, you know about it! As Bai Qi said nothing, Louis confirmed his judgment with his family.
Lao Zhang took over the conversation, "Well, that's right, we are from country Z, and we have set up a gathering place with people from the military, with complete personnel, and the equipment is all special equipment used by the military for research." Lao Zhang's words were mixed with falsehood, and he opened his mouth to reveal the military. In the eyes of people, the military is more formalized and a symbol of force, and the military of country Z is one of the few powerhouses in the world.
Louis nodded, "Sure enough, sure enough." ”
"Tell me about your weapon?" Bai Qi urged.
"This kind of weapon, with an energy crystal as the core, emits pure energy, not ammunition, such an energy crystal, can be fired 500 times, and it is extremely powerful. You know the zombies who have obtained energy crystals, this gun in my hand can directly penetrate its defense, as long as it hits accurately, it can hit the same place, three shots, you can penetrate its head and kill it directly! ”
Lao Zhang was shocked,
Isn't this stronger than the Barrett armor-piercing bullet in Lao Sun's hand? If this thing is used by Lao Sun, it will not be invincible in the world?
Seeing the look of surprise in the eyes of others, Louis was very satisfied, and continued, "But there are also drawbacks, the energy crystal can guarantee 500 hits, but the material of the gun can't hold up, basically after 5 shots, it can't withstand the impact of the huge energy, resulting in melting and deformation, and it can't be used anymore, and this energy conversion device in the middle will also be scrapped and must be replaced with a new one, the gun is easy to say, but this core device is more troublesome to make, mainly because of the material, Now we are using the material that we can find with the best resistance and hardness, so that we can get it from the space base. ”
"Well, that's a problem." Bai Qi and Lao Zhang exchanged a look, they had already thought that the unknown metal from the ground was definitely a good material for making energy weapons, energy could be conducted freely, it would not be damaged by energy at all, and it also had the effect of blessing and enhancement! But they certainly won't say it, at least not for now.
Bai Qi continued, "The direction of our research is to use fire drills instead of energy, such as as the core of a generator, or something like that, after all, we don't want you to be here, guarding sufficient underground energy storage." ”
"Oh? It's also a good idea, to use this energy instead of energy, a very good idea. Louis nodded in approval.
But as soon as the words were spoken, both sides fell silent.
Louis didn't want to know that, what he wanted to know was Bai Qi's research on the relationship between the fire diamond and the Ability, since the purpose of the Fire Diamond was discovered, then the use of the Fire Diamond must have been involved in the Ability.
And Bai Qi and they are also thinking the same, the biggest role of the fire diamond is that it can awaken the ability after being injected into the body, Luis only said about energy weapons, not anything else, obviously deliberately avoiding this topic.
Trust has become the biggest obstacle to communication, and no one wants the core secret to be the first to be said, which has led to the current silence and embarrassment.
