With a stomach full of questions, Nie Zheng followed Jack along the right side of the gate of the first block.

After walking a distance of about thirty meters, an underground teleportation entrance appeared in front of him, and after entering the teleportation entrance, Nie Zheng followed Jack into an underground teleportation elevator.

This underground teleportation elevator is different from the previous ones.

The previous conveyor elevator was traversed throughout the entire arms shopping street, somewhat similar to a small conveyor subway.

And the conveyor elevator in front of you is really an elevator.

The space in the elevator is not large, only a few square meters, and it is estimated that the number of passengers can only accommodate about ten people at most.

The teleportation elevator carried Jack and Nie Zheng all the way to the ground, because the elevator was completely metal-enclosed, so Nie Zheng couldn't see the situation outside, and he didn't know whether the elevator was sliding fast or slow, how many meters deep into the ground?

Nie Zheng didn't know all this. But he was a little nervous, a little curious, and a little expectant.

Having owned the arms commercial street for such a long time, Nie Zheng didn't expect that there were so many secrets hidden in it.

The elevator to the ground slid down for only a few seconds before it suddenly stopped.

With a "click", the door of the elevator opened automatically, and at this time, Nie Zheng, who was standing in the elevator, was surprised to find that outside the elevator, there was actually a silver-white hall.

The area of the hall is very large, at least nearly 1,000 square meters, and the lights inside are bright, as if it were daytime.

Looking at Nie Zheng's look of surprise, Jack smiled and said, "Sir, please follow me!" ”

With that, Jack stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the depths of the silver hall. Looking at Jack's slender back, Nie Zheng took a deep breath and followed quickly.

The silver-white hall was empty, except for a large display screen hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the hall, and then two metal tables on the ground below the display.

Both metal platforms are huge, each eight meters long, two meters wide, and one meter high.

From a distance, Nie Zheng could clearly see that on top of these two metal countertops, there were actually a small number of gold and silver bars.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng became more and more puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "What did Jack bring me here for?" How can there be gold and silver bars here? Could it be the vault of the Arms Walk? ”

Just in confusion, Jack led Nie Zheng straight towards the two metal countertops.

When they got to the huge display, they finally stopped.

At this time, Nie Zheng finally couldn't help but ask, "Jack, what kind of place is this?" ”

Jack turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "This is the place to answer the doubts in your heart, now please look at the big screen above." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see the giant display screen hanging above suddenly began to flicker, and after a while, seventy-two photos actually appeared on it.

There was a person in each photo, and among these seventy-two, Nie Zheng actually found his own photo, but what made him strange was that except for himself, the photos of the other seventy-one people were all mosaic, and Nie Zheng couldn't see their faces and features at all.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng became more and more puzzled in his heart.

"What does the seventy-two picture on this mean, and why is there me in it?"

Jack pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The seventy-two people above, including you, are all the seventy-two apostles chosen by the king. ”

"Seventy-two apostles?"

Nie Zheng's face sank, and he suddenly felt that this matter was a little mysterious and complicated, and immediately frowned and said, "What is going on with the Seventy-two Apostles?" What the hell is the king? ”

In the face of Nie Zheng's inquiry, Jack stared deeply into Nie Zheng's eyes, and said in an extremely solemn tone: "The questions you asked me just outside now, I can tell you now!" You are one of the seventy-two apostles who were chosen by the king to carry out special assignments in the seventy-two planes. King: A man, a code name, he is our leader and the creator of this arms shopping street. ”

Nie Zheng looked at Jack with a cold look in his eyes and said, "What you said is too complicated, I didn't understand it at all." I want to know now, I mixed well in this ancient world, all along, I gave you real money, you exchanged arms and weapons for me, why all of a sudden, I conjured up some bullshit seventy-two apostles, and I still have to carry out the special mission of that bullshit king? Who the hell is he, and why is he giving me the task? Do you think I'll bird him? ”

Jack shook his head, looked at him with a serious face, and said, "This matter is not what you imagined, and when I finish telling the whole story, you will naturally understand." ”

Nie Zheng smiled coldly, "You say, I'm listening!" ”

Jack lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The king is our leader, in the future, the resources on the earth will gradually be depleted, and we must find new colonies, new homes, otherwise, we humans living on the earth will not be able to survive at all." After a long period of exploration, we discovered the New World, a new territory that was perfect for us humans to habit, so the King decided to lead us to the New World.

But the new world has its intelligent life forms, has their technology and civilization, and we, as foreign invaders, must have an unprecedented war with them, there is no room for compromise between the two sides, in order to be able to win this war in the new world, we need a lot of energy to maintain the consumption of the entire war, and those conventional energy sources on the earth are far from satisfying our fleet, therefore, we have discovered a new energy source: AR elements.

AR element is a special new element to be discovered in the future, it is contained in many metals, especially gold and silver have the highest content, the AR element content in gold is 1/10,000, and the AR element content of silver is 1/500,000, so we need a lot of gold and silver to refine AR elements. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng had a faint clue, and couldn't help but interject: "What exactly is an AR element?" How versatile is it? ”

Jack nodded and continued, "The AR element is a general energy source, it can be used as weapon energy, power energy, medical communications, biological genes...... These are inseparable from it. A 50-gram AR energy chip can provide an entire year's worth of electricity for a medium-sized city. An ordinary dual-driving vehicle on land and air only needs one gram of AR energy to fly continuously or drive more than 360,000 kilometers continuously. A normal Aurora Ray Gun, once equipped with AR elements, is powerful enough to destroy a eliminated aircraft carrier.

And our air fleet, interstellar railguns, marine individual mecha groups, and space jump platforms all need huge AR elements to maintain energy consumption, once we don't get a steady stream of logistics supplements, our war in the New World will soon be lost, and our 7.6 million interstellar expeditionary force will be wiped out.

In order to solve this very serious problem of energy supply, the king had to draw up a new energy plan, personally returning to the past, implementing the plan of the 'Seventy-two Apostles'. Seventy-two Apostles, including you, will be transported to seventy-two different new worlds to collect gold, silver, and AR elements.

In order to assist you in completing your mission, the King has created a small space-hopping space 'Arms Mall', which serves all seventy-two of you at the same time, and you only need to keep collecting unrefined gold and silver into the Arms Mall, and we will provide you with a steady stream of arms and weapons in exchange.

This mission is very free, without the slightest coercion and oppression, very fair, if you want arms and weapons, you have to bring in something that can refine AR elements, if not, we will not provide you with a mission. At the same time, we will regularly return the refined gold and silver to you, I say this, I wonder if you understand now? ”

At this moment, Nie Zheng fell into a deep shock, he never expected that the truth of the matter would be so bizarre and incredible.

If it weren't for the fact that there really was an arms shopping street, he would have thought that Jack in front of him was making up a story full of science fiction.

After a moment of silence, Nie Zheng slowly raised his head, looked at Jack in front of him, and said with a bright eye: "You said that the king started a war in the new world in order to find a new colony, but the ancient world I am in now is also a new world suitable for human habitation, why doesn't the king lead human beings here?" Compared to the new world you are talking about, the scientific and technological civilization of the world I am in now is obviously very backward, with your scientific and technological armed forces, if you want to occupy this place, it will not be effortless at all, why do you have to give up the easy? ”

Jack shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you think, in the future, due to the disorder of the space-time orbit, the space jump entrances of the seventy-two planes have all disappeared from the space-time trajectory, and we will not be able to find the entrance at all." It is up to the king to explore all the way back to the past, to the time when these plane trajectories still existed, and to send you in one by one. This is a very difficult plan, and no one but the King will be able to go back to the past, let alone have the power to send you into the seventy-two new worlds. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng still had doubts and said, "Why did the king choose us?" Why not pick someone he trusts? In the unlikely event that any of us is unwilling to carry out our mission, or if we don't need the arms and weapons in the arms shopping malls at all, where will you get the energy supply? ”

Jack smiled faintly: "The reason why the king chose you is because you are the people he trusts the most, and at the same time, except for you, no one can activate the super chip that entered the arms shopping street." Also, once you have ambitions and desires in the new world, you don't need our supervision or coercion at all, you will naturally know how to make yourself grow in the new world, and then you will continue to collect a large amount of gold and silver to exchange for arms and weapons, and trade with us. Besides, we can't supervise and force you at all, everything is done according to your will, do you think I'm right? ”

Nie Zheng took a deep breath and was silent.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Jack's analysis was very reasonable, except for being sent into this strange ancient world inexplicably, the king never interfered with everything he did in ancient times.

Nie Zheng is very free, very free, no one forces him, no one can oppress him.

He could do that bullshit energy gathering task for the king, but he could refuse not to do it, but could he really say no?

Once he doesn't have the support of the Arms Pedestrian Street, what advantage does he have in this strange ancient new world? A random samurai master can kill him.

In order to save his life, to survive, and to make himself stronger, he is afraid that he will only have to trade with the arms commercial street in his life.

I have to say that the king must be a terrible guy who is very proficient in human nature, and he firmly grasps the three invisible clues of greed, desire, and ambition in people's hearts, and can easily drive them, the seventy-two apostles, to complete the so-called task.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng slowly raised his head, looked at Jack coldly, and said, "What kind of arms block consumption permissions you mentioned before were also formulated by the king?"

Jack nodded, "That's right, in order to stimulate your consumption and allow you to collect a lot of gold and silver to trade, the king has set a lot of thresholds, and if you want to get a lot of good weapons to prepare, you have to prepare more and more gold and silver." ”

Nie Zheng asked again: "When I first entered the arms shopping street, I clearly remember that you said that the entire arms shopping street only serves me alone, but now there are seventy-two people who can buy arms and weapons here, how do you explain it?" ”

Jack smiled: "Among these seventy-two people, the king specifically stipulates that you alone have the right of first refusal to use the arms shopping street. The entire arms shopping mall is opened every seventy-two hours, and each person is allotted an hour, but whenever you need to use it, everyone else has to give way to you, no matter when, as long as the opening time is up, even if they buy weapons in the arms shopping street, they must leave as soon as possible. Because, you are the king's most trusted person, there is no one! ”

Nie Zheng frowned, still a little puzzled, "You have said more than once that I am the king's most trusted person, why?" ”

The corners of Jack's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "When you open all the blocks, you will see the king, and when the time comes, all the answers will be revealed!" ”

"You've said before that I'm immune to weapons in the entire arms shopping street, is that true? Or are you fooling me? ”

"Sir, I didn't say you were immune to all weapons, I just said you were immune to all guns!"

"Gun immunity, why?"

"You'll understand ...... later"
