Chapter 359: The Crystal Merchant
"Welcome to the Xijing Factory, stray dogs, this is the base camp of our Knights of the Black Cone," Cockscomb stretched out his arms and struck a gesture embracing the air.
It's so big, it's so huge, Lin Ze looked at the buildings not far away and marveled, the main building complex is five four-story buildings, arranged in a circle, in a circle, the top of each building is a slope inclined to the inner side of the ring, the jet-black collection board covers the entire roof, and the main material of the building is the white building materials of the Moon Elf Ruins style.
"How about it, stray dogs, know the greatness of our Knights, complete our mission well, and have your benefits!" Cockscomb laughed proudly, "Okay, send these little guys over, get to know the other stray dogs, starting tomorrow, they will be companions to complete the task together, be excited~"
The refugees knew as early as the stronghold that there must be no good thing this time, along the way they were escorted here by the five younger brothers brought by the cockscomb head with guns, even Lin Ze did not find a chance to do it, and now they heard that all the refugees from the stronghold were going to be detained together, and they were even more panicked.
On the periphery of the Xijing factory, there is a fence made of iron sheets, tires, wires, etc., and occasionally you can see a watchtower made of metal scaffolding.
There are a lot of them, Lin Ze is secretly frightened, on the watchtower, in the bunker behind the wall, there are all members of the knights with light pressure guns, this time it is a big trouble, even in its heyday, Lin Ze will not easily provoke this kind of bandit gang full of third-order long-range firearms in hand.
Around the Xijing factory, also in the area protected by the fence, there are still many low buildings, some intact and some with only the remains left, and Lin Ze and the other three refugees were taken outside the wreckage of such a building.
A simple iron fence around the circle opened a mouth, this fence looks a bit like an ancient horse rejection, "Go in, inside is your temporary accommodation tonight, food will be distributed uniformly, remember, don't try to climb over this iron fence, for anyone who wants to cross the line, our knight guards will shoot and kill directly." ”
In the ruins of the building, there were only some broken walls and pillars left, and after Lin Ze and the others came in, they only saw several small groups of refugees squatting around in twos and threes, about 40 of them, squatting lonely and silently, only a few pairs of indifferent eyes swept over, and then slowly lowered their heads.
Living in the ruins of crystal soil for so many years, few refugees are fools, what kind of knight order coerced the unarmed stronghold refugees to gather together, including the original stronghold guards with Lin Ze, before leaving, the cockscomb head "kindly" let him leave the protective clothing and iron pipe gun in the stronghold, the refugees are like a group of lambs to the slaughter, obviously the next task will not be a good thing, I am afraid that the refugees here are all outcasts of the strongholds.
Ryddle people? There's a Ryder here! Lin Ze stared at a corner in the ruins in surprise, yes, although the skin was a little dirty, it was indeed light blue, with two horns on the head, a tail on the buttocks, two joints on the front and back of the legs, and hooves on the feet, this was definitely the Rydell man Lin Ze had seen, a Ryddle woman, and then, a question Lin Ze had a few days ago was also answered, before he had always felt that the blue-skinned big boy was a little strange, and no one else had this kind of light blue skin, but now I understand, he is a mixed race, the facial features of human beings, Ryddle skin.
As if sensing something, the Ryder woman who was holding her legs in a daze raised her head and met Lin Ze's gaze, she was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth tugged, and then she thought of something, and silently lowered her head, leaving a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Is this a greeting? Lin Ze didn't have time to think about this kind of thing, he retracted his gaze and found a place to squat.
What will this so-called mission be? Feeding monsters with refugees? As a bait to trap monsters? Or cannon fodder when fighting with other forces? Lin Ze began to think quickly in his heart, he would face a group of unarmed refugees who had given up resistance, surrounded by at least eight guards armed with light pressure guns, and this place was still within the wall, even if the guards ran out of this ruin, how to run outside the wall, and how to avoid the pursuers on motorcycles, especially now that he has not yet taken advantage of the telekinetic weapon, the brown shirt and the red shirt were staring closely before, Lin Ze did not have the opportunity to use soul power to make a metal telekinetic weapon, At the moment, I just picked up a few rocks with sharp corners and hid them in my cuffs......
"Toot ~ woo!" A dense buzz sounded outside the walls.
"Open the gate, it's Lord Oni's convoy here!" There was a call of surprise from the watchtower.
"Lord Oni, you are here, I wonder what goods your caravan has brought this time?" With a smile on his face, the cockscomb head went to a four-wheeled crystal energy car that Lin Ze had seen.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A hand stretched out from the cab and fanned it impatiently.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please come in!" Cockscomb hurriedly stepped aside, he was at most a captain, not a big man in the Knights, and he couldn't afford to offend the arms merchant Oni, who even the head of the regiment had to stammer.
"Welcome, welcome, Oni, you're here, I'm worried you've forgotten about our little place, but I've got a lot of ammunition for sale this time," a big man in shiny metal armor smiled and touched the back of his head.
"It's a little trouble, it's a little late, it's two days late", the door opened, and a neat and unusual fat man walked down from the four-wheeled crystal car, he smiled slightly, "Your Xijing factory is the largest and most complete caliber light pressure bomb production site in the Red Spot area, no matter how I can, I will never forget your big customer." ”
"Come, please come in, my subordinates have recently brought some good wine in the light language, and they have been waiting for you to come."
"Captain Feng Jin is polite, polite, please~"
Seeing the big boss and the head of the knights, Feng Jin, walk into the main building, the driver on the crystal car got out of the car, beckoned a few companions who rode crystal energy motorcycles to escort the caravan to move things, and turned his head to the members of the knights around him and said, "Come, hurry up, these boxes are carried over there, this is the agreed goods, you count them, and the other boxes are opened here, yes, these are the goods for this retail, come and take a look~" He shouted loudly.
The members of the Knights who had been around them flocked to the crystal car.
"Oh my God, there's a Lawyer's Patrol rifle this time!" The cockscomb head also rushed over, he had long been preparing to buy something on this transaction, the members of the knights were usually paid according to their ranks, and he had saved money for a long time, just waiting to buy a good weapon.
It is also a third-order light pressure gun, and the things produced by the Law Academy are definitely much better than the same level weapons produced from other small power factories, even if the design and construction are the same, the weapons of the Law Academy are exquisitely made, advanced in technology, and the accuracy of the guns is high, and the service life is long, especially the accuracy is particularly important.
"That's right, good vision, this is a long way to get the goods from a special channel, the law academy Nanyuan pure handmade craft custom patrol rifle", the driver and salesman looked proud, "than the quality of the assembly line produced by the law academy factory is higher, the work made by Master Fan Wu himself, the error within two thousand steps is no more than 1 finger width, and the signature of Master Fan Wu's handwriting can be found behind the trigger." ”
"It's such a good baby~" Cockscomb said in a gloomy tone, if he could still find someone to borrow some money from the patrol rifle in the law academy factory, Master Nanyuan's firearms only the most elite snipers of those large organizations have the ability and need to buy them.
"This kind of gun is the favorite thing of those enthusiast-level collectors, and it is indeed a bit far away for us ordinary crystalline people", the driver did not have the arrogance of scolding the cockscomb head before, he saw the expressions of the cockscomb head and the other knight members, and cleverly changed the topic, "Let's take a look at this, this is also a good treasure that our caravan has entered this time, the Nemisi resin protective suit, this is the standard equipment of the special elite guard before the disaster, and the output is extremely low after the disaster, this time the East Coast Thousand Silk Armament Factory has encountered huge financial difficulties, I was willing to take out a few sets to sell to us, with more than the metal armor of the live ammunition protection, and at the same time extremely light, only less than one-fifth of the weight of the metal armor, the best baby! ”
What is the difference between this and the one just now, the cockscomb head wails in his heart, the head of the regiment may not be willing to spend money to buy it, let alone a little minion like us, if we really buy it, there will definitely be a group of "teammates" waiting for "sudden danger too late to support" themselves when they go out in the future.
"Are there any patrols from the Law Academy's factory?" A knight of the Order finally asked the minions what they wanted.
The driver was a little embarrassed, he was also very aware of the purchasing power of these little poor sours, but unfortunately, the weapons of the law academy factory were sold to the law court's own troops first, and then the various forces belonging to the law court, and then the large and small strongholds under the law court, where was the turn to get the caravan This kind of external independent force, as for the master patrol rifle, it is a luxury that even the law academy itself can't afford, let's just say the accuracy of two thousand steps, okay, it's okay to fool the hillbilly, there is this spare money to buy a master-level patrolman, It's better to buy the factory-produced Punisher rifle directly, the price of the two is about the same, but the Punisher is a more advanced new generation rifle that uses the Crystal Crystal Pressure Bullet, a terrifying thing with an accurate range of six thousand steps, which is extremely powerful, and it is said that it can penetrate the top and back bone armor of the Tearer head-on, but the crystal earth people who use this weapon are a minority after all, not to mention the high price of the Crystal Bullet, the huge recoil of the gun itself, ordinary people use it to absolutely shatter the shoulder blades.
"Although there are no weapons from the Lawyer's Factory, our caravan has specially purchased a batch of high-quality spare parts for hunting rifles this time, as well as plug-in equipment, which are of high quality and low price, you can take a look~" The driver took out other things prepared in advance, the hunting rifle is the light pressure gun used by most members of the Black Cone Knights, and the Xijing factory can produce light pressure bullets, but there is no light pressure gun production site nearby, so their guns are all hunting rifles traded with Oni's caravan with light pressure bullets, This firearm is a copycat of a firearms factory in the West Valley that imitates the patrolman, and the price is much cheaper......
Merchant...... Lin Ze and the other refugees had already diverted their attention when the caravan honked in, it turned out that it was a merchant who made this bullshit knight kneel and lick, that's right, after Lin Ze watched the performance of the cockscomb head and the regiment leader from a distance, he could only think of the word kneeling and licking in his mind to describe it, but if you think about it carefully, in this kind of crystalline ruins full of war, what can be better than this kind of armed caravan? Absolutely powerful force deters all kinds of strongholds and forces and dare not attack at will, and the huge network of goods makes all kinds of forces with only unilateral resources extremely demand and dependence, this is not only a weapon merchant, Lin Ze also thinks of food merchants, and even pure water merchants.
Lin Ze has a deep understanding of pure water, because the only blueprint of their stronghold is about pure water, but Lin Ze and other refugees can be killed, and someone must keep shaking the grip of the pump every day, the most important thing is that the water is not out of the water after shaking, in fact, the principle is simple, the groundwater here contains a lot of impurities, microorganisms, germs, heavy metals and other harmful substances, and there is a filtration device in the pipeline of the water purifier pumping, so the water pumped up must be filtered layer by layer. In the end, you can get pure water that you can drink directly, a simple water purifier keeps shaking during the day every day, and it can probably only produce two to three bottles of pure water, which is not enough for one person to drink, but it is pit and tired.
Regarding the merchants, Lin Ze had a good idea in his heart, but now was not the time to plan these carefully, his mind was spinning, there were variables in the knights, could he use these merchants to achieve the purpose of escaping here? He pondered again......
By a window on the third floor of the main building, Feng Jin, the head of the regiment, and Oni, the merchant, were each holding a transparent wine glass, and the amber liquid in the glass swayed gently, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
"How's that going?" Oni looked through the window, looking at the minions who were bargaining with their drivers below, mufflers, muzzle suppressors, gun bayonets, shock-absorbing butts, sharpshooter butts, high-quality barrels, porous barrels, all kinds of sights, every small part can arouse the minions' extremely high buying enthusiasm, these things are carefully prepared by Omni, a good businessman must not only have a wide range of channels, but more importantly, make accurate judgments on customer purchasing power and purchase preferences.
"As long as the baby you bring is no problem, I can start acting at any time", the head of the regiment sighed lightly, to tell the truth, if it weren't for the demand of this profiteer this time, I am afraid that he would not be so generous and take the initiative to help him buy cheap and good goods, this Xijing factory was established by those survivors more than ten years after the disaster, and it was not until three years ago that he led the knights to take it, but the full production of these three years was only exchanged for a few small factory broken guns and a few N-hand crystal energy motorcycles, The huge profits are all cheaper for this profiteer, there is no way, the people have a wide range of roads, and their hands are black, and other caravans that want to come here have been killed or driven away.
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that your little brother will be killed and injured too much? "Oni was a little surprised, the regiment commander was a little hesitant before, but suddenly he was decisive, and he also asked himself to purchase weapons on his behalf, obviously relying on it.
"You'll know tomorrow, haha!"
