Chapter 45: Big Trouble

It was still early to go to bed, and at Zhang Le's request, Adam led Zhang Le to the town's most popular weapons shop, the City of Steel. This weapon shop is the property of the Human Supremacy Alliance, whose predecessor was the government agencies of various European countries, who have the conditions and convenience to obtain all kinds of national materials, of course, including weapons, machinery, and strategic resources such as steel.

Because thermal weapons are explicitly prohibited by the Coalition Against Weapons of Mass Destruction, major organizations, including large organizations such as the Human Supremacy Alliance, have had to avoid their use as much as possible. Among them, there is another important reason, that is, the factories that produce bullets have all been destroyed, the machines have been dissolved, and this apocalyptic world is currently no longer capable of restoring the production line of bullets.

Without bullets, hot weapons are not much stronger than burning sticks, so the current weapons market has begun to focus on the production and sale of cold weapons. Of course, thermal weapons are also sold, but they are expensive and the number of bullets is limited, and even then, in Rock Town, only members of the Super Human Alliance and official members of the Human Supremacy Alliance can buy weapons.

Every normal human can join the Human Supremacy Alliance, but in most cases can only become an ordinary member, not a full member, only those important managers, technicians and combatants can become full members, just as the dominant mutant belongs to the super human, but is not necessarily eligible to join the Super Human Alliance, and the super human can only join the Super Human Alliance after being guaranteed by insiders.

There are also many people, although they are normal humans, and some are still superior mutants, they don't want to join any organization, but because they are normal humans, they can still rely on the forces of the Human Supremacy Alliance.

The weapons store, called "City of Steel", sells a wide range of goods, not only weapons, but also outdoor gear, and Zhang Le even saw a glider inside. Flying is one of Zhang Le's hole cards, but after the last queen ant incident, Zhang Le found that flying is not a very safe way to travel, especially in places with many enemies. Maybe it's good to use it for rushing, but comparatively speaking, Zhang Le still likes a down-to-earth sense of security and flexible ways of fighting and escaping. Even if he is running, Zhang Le, who is running at extreme speed, is faster than flying, of course, the staying power must be worse. After weighing the two phases, Zhang Le began to be less enthusiastic about flying.

After picking left and right, Zhang Le chose an outdoor comprehensive suit, including a jacket, vest, pants and leather shoes, a total of four sets, as well as a dagger, short sword, wave blade, small crossbow and ten crossbow arrows. This outdoor set is made of Kevlar fiber, which is durable and wear-resistant, has many pockets, and has powerful storage functions, so all the included weapons can be put in the pocket and there are no traces. The vest is also lined with high-strength ceramics for a super bulletproof design. But the price is also staggering, a full 700 New Zealand dollars, which is equal to the price of Zhang Le's single deluxe room in the tavern for about a year.

However, the money here has no meaning to Zhang Le, and improving his ability to survive in the last days and return to China is Zhang Le's main goal.

After paying, Zhang Le only had a few dozen dollars left in his payment card, and if he removed the money for tonight's treat, Zhang Le immediately became a poor man.

"Looks like I'm going to move to the dormitory provided by the ranch tonight." Zhang Le said to Adam. Adam was first shocked by Zhang Le's magnanimity, and then heard Zhang Le's exclamation, and nodded in understanding.

By the time the two returned to the tavern, Hank's gang was nowhere to be seen. When Zhang Le went to the counter to find the proprietress to settle the bill, although there were not many customers, Toris did not come, but sent the red-haired freckled girl to settle the bill.

"Twenty dollars in total, thank you!" The girl lowered her head slightly and whispered.

This price is discounted by nearly half, Zhang Le doesn't believe that Toris will be so generous, but since people don't charge money, there is no reason to force money. Zhang Le offered to stay in the room provided by the ranch again, and the red-haired freckled girl ran to Toris and muttered a few words, and then ran back and said, "Yes, you can go directly to Lord Adam's room tonight." ”

Zhang Le shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked upstairs. Adam's face was not good, it was obvious that he had expected something, he followed Zhang Le, and said in a low voice: "Jaime, you go up first, I'll go and find out the news." Zhang Le nodded, asked Adam's room number, and went upstairs first, while Adam walked out of the tavern, not knowing where he went.

Zhang Le didn't have anything left in the original room, so he simply went directly to Adam's room. Adam's room was a six-person room, a room that the town administrator rented from the tavern for a long time. According to Adam, two beds are reserved for ranch employees, and four more are beds for town handymen. However, handymen are short-term workers, sometimes with and sometimes without people, so there are often empty beds in this room.

Zhang Le pushed open the door and entered, and there were three bunk beds inside. Although this room belongs to the tavern, because it is rented out for a long time, the tavern staff will not come to this room unless requested, so this room is not like a hotel room, but more like a messy student dormitory.

There was only one person in the room, lying on the bed, a thin, unshaven middle-aged white man, holding a photograph in his hand and scrutinizing it. Zhang Le glanced at it, there was a happy family of five above, and it seemed that the male owner was this one. The man glanced at Zhang Le, did not speak, and then turned back and continued to look at his photo.

There were four empty beds, each of which was messy, and Zhang Le didn't want to sleep on the messy beds, and wondered why there was no staff to fold them neatly. Walked to the door, stuck out his head, and shouted to a guest room worker in the hallway, "Waiter, can I change a clean bed here?" ”

Zhang Le guessed correctly, sure enough, there was this service, and after asking the staff, they would come over to make the bed only when they were requested by the people in the room.

Half an hour later, Zhang Le lay comfortably on the bed, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. There was a rush of footsteps, and soon the door was pushed open and Adam returned.

"Mr. Jaime, it's not good, Hank will come over with Magim tonight, saying that he wants to teach you a lesson!"

Zhang Le asked suspiciously, "Who is Majim?" ”

"It's that ranch night guard, a big black man, he's also been in the Barbarian Hunter Squad before, and the two are very good friends." Adam said with an anxious expression. Zhang Le remembered it now, he saw it when he got off work, compared to the two weird young men with eyes above the top, he was still a polite guy.

Zhang Le nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'll wait for them to come over." "Adam almost cried, Hank's strength goes without saying, a second-level strength mutant, one person is worth a standard hunter team.

According to the grading method of Rock Town, the second-level creature is equivalent to the combat power of an ordinary middle-aged man. Level 3 creatures are equivalent to the combat power of Level 1 mutants. Level 4 creatures are equivalent to a Level 2 mutant or a reasonably matched ten-person standard hunter squad composed of Level 1 mutants.

Among the hunters in Rock Town, the second-level mutants belong to the absolute top combat power, and there are only fifty people in the entire town. And Magim and Hank are two of those fifty. In any case, in Adam's eyes, Zhang Le's trouble may not be ordinary.

"James, my brother, my friend, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble for my sake, I beg you, go out and hide, it's better to stay outside the town than here." Adam saw that Zhang Le didn't move, he was really anxious, and his eyes had begun to burst into tears.

Zhang Le didn't want to deal with this annoying guy, but seeing that Adam was so anxious that he was already crying, he was also a little depressed, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" After speaking, Zhang Le put on the 700 New Zealand dollar suit hanging on the bedside, and immediately became a hundred times more valuable.

Seeing that Adam still wanted to send himself, Zhang Le said earnestly: "Ya, don't follow me, just stay in the room, so as not to expose my secrets." Adam nodded blankly. Zhang Le pushed the door and left.

It was late at night, and there were very few people in the tavern. Zhang Le walked to the first floor and saw Toris glance at him quickly, then quickly lowered his head and began to wipe the table seriously, as if Zhang Le did not exist.

Zhang Le picked up a chair from the tavern, placed it at the door of the tavern, and sat there enjoying the charming street scene at night.

Zhang Le suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette, not because he was addicted to smoking, but because he needed a cigarette to add a touch of melancholy to himself at this moment. I don't know if Zhao Fei and Zha Xiaoxia will beat themselves up if they know what they think. The corners of Zhang Le's mouth couldn't help but curl.

At this time, two burly men came side by side from the far side of the long street.
