Chapter Ninety-Nine: Bounty Zone and Stealing

Let David and Sophia stay, Lin Mu and Old Carl left the residential area, passed the checkpoint without any obstacles, and stepped into the left passage of the T-junction.

"Actually, the third floor was originally the second floor of the shelter, but because a new space was opened, it became the third floor." The two of them walked against the side of the road, and the elder Carl began to introduce the situation on the third floor.

As the last floor of the open area, the third floor is also known as the 'Bounty Zone'. When the strength of the individual is not enough to accomplish a certain goal, hiring someone else becomes the new option.

Just like Carl Sr. did at Sunset Hammer, there will be individual or Vault official quests in the mercenary area, and as long as you complete the quest, you will get an agreed reward.

There are many different types of tasks, ranging from the task of finding someone or something, to the task of organizing people to defeat a mutant beast for the sake of hatred. Of course, there are also certain tasks that secretly represent sin.

"It's here!"

By the time Carl Sr. had introduced them, the two of them had arrived at what was known as the 'Bounty Zone'.

This is a recreation of the recreation facility of the shelter, so when Lin Mu walks through the gate, the most conspicuous thing he sees is the two rows of eight boxing rings in front of him.

"Albert Military Base! Wipe out the mutants at Albert Military Base! There are still ten gunners missing! The remuneration is ......"

In the first ring on the left, a guy in a suit with his back combed is holding a horn and shouting hoarsely,

Most of the people in the hall gathered around the ring, and in just a few moments, four people were hired, each taking a numbered plate from the man on his back, and began to stand by the ring.

"There is no shortage of people in this world who want to die." Old Carl laughed and began to whisper about the Albert military base.

Located seventy kilometers south of the Vault, it is a logistics base stocked with large quantities of ordnance and supplies.

Such a place is naturally a favorite in the eyes of various nearby settlements. Sadly, there are a staggering number of deformed people. So far, no one who has gone on an adventure out of greed has come back alive.

"There is no shortage of fools in the world!"

Lin Mu shook his head slightly, and walked towards the other rings, and Old Carl hurriedly followed with a cane.

In addition to the six rings, which are official 'advertising slots' of the Vault, there are also many stalls set up by individuals in the hall, with the desired task written on the paper, and the reward items to be delivered after the mission is completed.

After a cursory walk, Lin Mu found that finding things was the most entrusted task. Two boxes of common antibiotics for a specific drug, one box of 45 armor-piercing bullets for three standard boxes of 233......

Of course, even if you don't rent those six advertising spaces, as long as you post the entrusted mission, you still have to 'pay' the men in black who wander in the crowd and belong to the official forces of the Vault.

They will charge the equivalent of one-tenth of the value of the task's remuneration and issue a certificate to the delegate sponsor that he will not be charged again until the commission is completed.

In a sense, the 'bounty zone' is an extension of the 'business zone' to this part of the free market.

After a full hour of shopping, the two left the bounty hall, and as a reward, Lin Mu exchanged two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs for four boxes of Magnum pistol bullets of 44 caliber.

This high-charge pistol bullet is much more powerful than the M16's rifle bullet, and can completely threaten opponents such as the third-stage deformity and the second-stage deathclaw.

"For you now, this pistol is not very useful." Seeing him repeatedly playing with the Colt python in his hand, old Carl shook his head.

"At some point, it can make a difference."

Lin Mu smiled slightly, and with the flip of his fingers, the Colt python disappeared out of thin air, and replaced it with a box of cigarettes in his hand.

This scene happened to be seen by a thin man who came on, he couldn't help but rub his eyes and scolded in a low voice: "Damn it! It's just that I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm starting to see hallucinations! ”

Lin Mu and Old Carl glanced at each other, and the two couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Sometimes, what is displayed in front of us is obviously real, but because it is really impossible to believe it, human beings will actively attribute it to their own delusions.

Back at the T-junction, Carl Sr. stopped.

"I'm going to visit that old friend next, and if I'm not mistaken, you have something to do."

"Remember to come back with good news!"

Throwing the backpack behind him to him, Lin Mu walked towards the commercial area on the first floor. Carl Sr.'s so-called old friend is none other than the actual ruler of the vault, a man named Us.

According to the plan, the general supplies can be exchanged directly in the commercial area, but some special things can only be obtained with the help of the Vault officials.

For example, an optical camouflage device that can be retrofitted to an armored vehicle.

Carl Sr. concluded that the lower factories of the vault were already capable of producing such things. Although the naked eye can't hide the smell and hearing of mutant beasts, it can definitely greatly reduce the possibility of mutant beasts attacking during the journey.

After all, flesh and blood are more dependent on sight than their olfactory and auditory organs.

"Come and see! Here is fresh beef that has just arrived! ”

As soon as I entered the business district, I heard the shouts of soliciting business. Lin Mu looked sideways and saw strips of dark red meat on the board of a butcher shop. As for whether this is beef or not? He could only put a question mark in his mind.

As a beef that will not be contaminated with the D virus, its price is much higher than that of other mutant beast meats. Naturally, it is also more expensive than human flesh sold in those dark corners.

He hoped it was just his own malicious speculation, given the large number of customers surrounding the butcher's door.

"C4 bomb! Sell C4 plastic bombs in bulk! "Armor! Armor made from deathclaw carapaces! "Flour, flour milled from pollution-free wheat grown on the farm itself!" ……

In the midst of the noise, Lin Mu continued to walk slowly, and in a few moments, he reached the door of the weapons shop that sold tanks.

Through the open door, the bearded man could be seen selling weapons to some of the well-dressed survivors. In terms of the entire commercial district, this store is considered to be the most complete weapons store with weapons.

The purpose of Lin Mu's coming here is naturally for the 'Shaped Particle Emission Module'. If you add this thing to the white bee, the white bee, which has only been able to fight in close quarters for a long time, is equivalent to having a powerful long-range attack method.

"Look at this stout barrel, I promise! As long as it is accompanied by large-caliber bullets, even the head of the deathclaw can be blown to pieces! ”

In the spittle of the bearded man, Lin Mu quietly entered the store, raised his right hand at will, and his mind moved, and suddenly, the dark blue 'shaped particle emission module' placed in the corner of the wall disappeared out of thin air.

Taking advantage of the lack of attention from others, he quietly walked out of the store, and just after taking two steps, there was a howl like killing a pig behind him.

"Who! Who stole my stuff? ”

"Stop! You are not allowed to go! Whoever dares to run will blast his head! ”

"How dare you frame us for stealing from you!"

With a loading sound, the weapon shop immediately became lively. Lin Mu, who was the initiator, entered a grocery store opposite, pretending to look at the groceries on the container.

Although the act of stealing was despicable, he felt that it was better to steal it than to rob it directly. After all, if nothing else, robberies often cost the victim their lives.
