30 Food is in short supply

Previous Chapter

"Well, this white juice is so delicious, why haven't I drunk this kind of beautiful drink before? Brother Lu, can you buy me a few boxes? ”

Takashi Kukawa drank coconut milk, his face was full of joy, and he wanted to buy a few boxes to go back and drink them slowly.

"Hehe, if you like it, just take a few boxes back."

"Haha, that's a good dare, thank you Brother Lu."

"It's okay, by the way, I just heard you say that you will grow out of the city, when do you have to come back?"

chatting, Lu Ping talked about the issue of food again, and wanted to get rid of this batch of goods as soon as possible, after all, only the corpse crystals in hand are reassuring, no one is looking at them all day long, and they are worried.

"Well, it should take a few days, after all, this time our president is going to other survivor bases, and it is estimated that it will not be so fast."

"What are you doing in other base cities?"

"Hey, it's not that this inexplicable zombie siege has caused Night City to run out of food, and the reserve food can't last long. The three major military leaders had no choice but to let the five major headhunters go to other base cities to see if they could exchange for food and survive this crisis. ”

"Oh, is it really that serious?"

The Ascending Spirit Fire spit out the melon seed shell and asked out loud, as if he didn't believe that even the military was short of food to such a point.

"Why are you lying to you, I heard that the army's food has been halved in the last day or two, and you said that it is not serious."

The army is the main force to protect Nightfall City, and it is necessary to ensure that they are fed and clothed, but now that even this group of people has begun to reduce food, it can be seen what the situation in the city is. The reason why I can't feel the spiritual fire is that it is still stained with Lu Ping's light, and he eats and drinks a lot every day, and his life and diet are estimated to be better than those at the top of the city.

"Are the other base cities far away from Nightfall City? Which ones are there? ”

This was the first time Lu Ping had heard about other base cities since he came to this world, and he was still very curious, so he couldn't help but say, "Are there many survivor bases around here?" ”

"Many, there are many large and small survivor bases scattered more than ten miles away, but the largest is the Baiguo Base City in the south, I heard that there are 800,000 survivors, and even Night City can't compare, it is the largest survivor base city within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no one."

"Really? I'd love to check it out. ”

Indeed, the world is so big, Lu Ping wants to go and see more of the wonders of this world, and it is not in vain that he comes here in this life.

"It's not that simple, Baiguo Base City is more than sixty miles away from Night City, and if you want to get there, it's dangerous. If you don't get it right, you may lose your life at any time. ”

"Hehe, let's talk about it later."

After shaking his head and shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Lu Ping suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Ku, do you have a way to get a better weapon?" Recently, I've noticed that zombies seem to be much more difficult to solve, and ordinary pistols can't kill them. ”

"Hehe, this is normal, your pistols are just ordinary goods, for ordinary people, it's okay to deal with ordinary zombies, but when you encounter high-level zombies, it's a chicken-like existence."

"Oh, and do you have a way to get your hands on a powerful firearm?"

"Now you're asking the right person, go, I'll take you to a place where there are a lot of good goods."

Ku Chuanlong grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candy and took the lead and walked out, Lu Ping and the two hurriedly followed, walking towards a small hill bag closer to the inner city.

The hill was surrounded by a wall, enclosed into a manor, and at the door, there were several guards, and after Kukawa Takashi showed his origin, he walked in with the two of them.

After entering the manor, the Ascending Spirit Fire just looked around, looking at everything and feeling extravagant, and smashing his mouth and saying, "Tsk, this is that force again, it's a good mix." ”

"Haha, that's of course, the boss of this group of guys is also capable, after the end came, he quickly recruited a group of firearms experts, relying on modified hot weapons, and now he is quite good in Night City. And I heard that in addition to the weapons made by the military, this is the best, so people from all major forces are here to buy powerful guns and ammunition, and you can pick a satisfactory product, brother. ”

"Really? Then you have to choose carefully. ”

Ku Chuanlong smiled, took the lead and walked in, and shouted to a few people in the hall who were busy at the guest table: "Haha, bald head, what are you busy with?" ”

The living room was a little deserted, there were not many guests, and after a few people glanced at Lu Ping who came in, they continued to bury their heads in the things in their hands, only a bald man laughed, got up and greeted: "Brother Ku, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you free to come to me today?" ”

"Hehe, bring my brother over to pick up some good things, by the way, what about your captain?"

"Something went out, I guess I won't come back for a while and a half."

The bald man seemed to be very familiar with Ku Chuanlong, and talked to each other for a few words, then looked at Lu Ping and the two, and said: "Haha, in Xia Qiang, people are called bald Qiang, I don't know what to call the two?" ”

"Light, bald strong."

Taking a deep breath and calming down the feeling of being thundered, Lu Ping reluctantly smiled and said, "In Xia Lu Ping, this guy is the spiritual fire, and when we meet for the first time, I hope that Brother Qiang will take care of him." ”

"Haha, you are friends of Brother Ku, and naturally you are also my friends, since you have come to me, what do you need, just ask, I promise to give you the best."

"Oh, then thank you Brother Qiang first."

As for whether the other party will really be as he said, Lu Ping doesn't care, he came here just to choose a few weapons to take advantage of, and he is not here to make fox friends and dog friends, so naturally he will not take the other party's words too seriously.

"I heard Brother Ku say, you have a powerful enough firearm, I wonder if my brother can introduce us to a few?"

"Haha, come on, I'm right, let's go, I'll take you to see the new goods that have just come out in the past few days."

Qiang Dechen took the lead, leading the three of them to the guest table to walk towards the few people who were busy modifying firearms, pointing to a black pistol that was almost modified, and said, "See, that pistol is the first generation of thermal weapons researched by the Flood Civilization, an absolute antique." The power at the beginning of the apocalypse is not bad, and it can easily kill ordinary zombies, which is one of the popular weapons chosen by many survivors. But now, as there are more and more first-order zombies, this shot is not enough to see, and sometimes a few bullets can't kill one, which definitely hurts. However, after the modification, it is different, the body of the 316 mm long gun, weighing 4.13 kg, and the diameter of the bullet used has also been changed to 13.43 mm, feeding the seven-round magazine. Within fifty meters, the power is absolutely huge, and it can easily explode the head of a first-order zombie, and even the second-order can cause a lot of damage. ”

"Amazing, which ones?"

Lu Ping praised it, feeling that the shape of this gun is a bit like the Browning of the 21st century, but it is not the same, it seems to be cooler, but I think the power is a little smaller.

"Brother Lu has a good eye, this blood-red blood-causing pistol is also one of the best in all the original generation of thermal weapon pistols, and now after our modification, the power is a little terrifying. It can be said that within a hundred meters, a single shot can break a first-order zombie into two, and within thirty meters, a second-order zombie is not a problem to shoot his head every minute, as long as he does not encounter a second-order defensive zombie, the others are scum. ”

Qiang Dezhen is obviously very proud of this work, and it is saliva flying all over the sky when it is introduced. However, I have to admit that this gun is not to mention cool, the power is really amazing, in addition to the recoil, it is definitely a must-have weapon in close combat.

"Is it expensive?"

Obviously, the guy who ascended to the spirit fire fell in love, and his eyes changed when he looked at the gun, as if he saw his wife, and he couldn't move away. If it weren't for the fact that the other party hadn't installed it yet, it would probably have rushed up and had a good time.

"Hehe, it's not expensive, just fifteen thousand."

"Fifteen thousand, damn me, my ordinary pistol is only a few hundred corpse crystals, why is this one so expensive? You're not slaughtering us? ”

This price, the Ascending Spirit Fire really can't accept it, it's not that there is no money, but it's too expensive.

You must know that the cheaper pistols in the city can be bought with one or two hundred corpse crystals, and second-hand goods can be bought with dozens of corpse crystals, and the most expensive ones are only thousands. But this one is good, it costs tens of thousands at every turn, who can afford it?

"Hey, Brother Xiaohuo, you also said it, it's an ordinary pistol, at most it's okay to deal with ordinary zombies. But this one is different, the second order can be destroyed, do you think it is not expensive? And we rely on pure hand-made, the gun quality and materials are the best, this is expensive, so it is sold high, absolutely not to kill you. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Ku to see if the price I give you is reasonable. ”

"Hehe, this price can be reluctantly accepted, but the bald head is strong, and your friends are driving so high, you are not authentic."

Brother Ku had bought high-end goods here before and knew the price, so he nodded, indicating that the other party really didn't drive high. But as a friend, I still have to help with the spiritual fire and talk about the price.

"How about ten thousand? It's the first time I've come, and I'm not going to get a discount anyway. ”

"My brother Ku, if you had brought two brothers earlier, I would have been able to sell them in case I could, but now I really can't. As you know, during this period of time, the food shortage was terrible, and the price of many materials had increased, and the cost was high, and if I sold it at a low price, I wouldn't even be able to make money to buy grain. And this price is set by the boss, if he comes back and knows that I changed the price indiscriminately, he will have to scratch my skin. ”

With the power of this gun, the price of 20,000 yuan is not high, but the recent food shortage has had a great impact, and many businesses are very deserted, which is also the reason why they dare not open a high price.

Putting down the gun in his hand, Lu Ping suddenly spoke, and he didn't bother to bargain with the other party, so he said directly: "Hey, I said Brother Qiang, as long as the gun is really as good as you say, it is not a problem to be more expensive." Also, is this batch the best? ”

"Haha, brother, you say so, brother, I won't hide it, get something good to open your eyes."

Qiang Dechen directly carried a large box down from upstairs, and after inviting a few people to sit down at the guest table, he opened the box and took out a white revolver from it, which was bright in front of everyone's eyes.

"Hey, how is this gun made of bone, can it be used?"

"Hehe, Brother Xiaohuo, what can't you use me for? But you're really sharp, and you can tell at a glance that this gun is made of bone. ”

"Nonsense, who didn't see it."

The Ascending Spirit Fire glanced at this guy angrily, and Qiang Dezhen didn't care, and continued to introduce it to a few people: "This gun is smelted from the lizard claw bone of the third-order splintered horned lizard, and it was only created a few days ago, and it is the most powerful one among our many pistol models." ”

"Oh, why don't you make it into other guns, as far as I know, the revolver is one of the less powerful pistols among the many pistols, isn't it a waste of third-order lizard claws?"

After returning to the 21st century from the apocalypse, Lu Ping once had a good understanding of the development of superthermal weapons, although he was not proficient, but he could roughly recognize and know the quality of various gun systems.

Among the many pistols, the power of the revolver is actually not very large, and the claw bones of these third-order lizards are high-end goods, and they are wasted if they are not made into other pistols with relatively large power.

"Hey, Brother Lu, don't you know, these third-order lizard claw bones are rare, and it took us a lot of effort to get such a little bit of material, but who thought that it would not be enough to make other guns, so we took out the wheel."

Qiang was helpless, talked about the twists and turns of making this gun, and said: "Although it is a wheel, but Brother Lu, don't underestimate the power of this gun, we have undergone special treatment, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of this precious lizard claw bone." ”

"Oh, special handling, how strong?"

"Needless to say, the hardness of the third-order lizard claw bone is naturally not a problem, it is not a problem to build any gun, this special thing is still in the bullet."

As he spoke, Qiang Dechen picked up a piece of ammunition from the box and explained to everyone: "This bullet is a special hollow warhead formed by the fusion of various metals by the strangers in our team, and after hitting the target, it will produce a huge explosion power. ”

"Explosion, isn't it a dummy bomb, what's so strange about this."

"No, no, no, this explosion, not a warhead rolling, but a real explosion. When the gunpowder inside the shell burns, the resulting high temperature and pressure will expose the two encapsulated materials in the hollow warhead, and then produce a kind of ultra-small fusion. However, when the bullet flies at high speed in the air, the high temperature caused by friction will keep the two substances in the warhead stable enough, until it hits the target, and the sudden cooling will cause the bullet to explode, which is equivalent to a cold nuclear reaction. ”

"Uh, well, I didn't understand, you better tell me about the direct power of this gun."

The other party is a professional, and the data is explained in detail, but Lu Ping didn't understand, but it didn't hinder his heartbeat, and asked how powerful the gun was.

"Haha, the power, except for the defensive zombies of the second order within 100 meters, the others are scum, and within 30 meters, the third order can also cause enough lethality, how about it?"

"Oh, that's good, how much."

"I won't drive you high, forty-five thousand, with ten bullets, how about it?"

"Forty-five thousand, that's a bit expensive."

Maybe he hasn't spent money like a local tyrant, Lu Ping still feels that it is expensive, and he is a little heartbroken. But thinking that he couldn't even do a first-order zombie, he decided to buy it, just in case.

"The price is okay, but is this bullet too few? Is it for sale? ”

"Hehe, I'll just make fifty, one thousand, how much do you want?"

"One thousand."

Well, for the sake of his own life, Lu Ping endured the feeling of pain in his flesh, gritted his teeth and said, "Then take it all." ”

"Hehe, Brother Lu is bold enough, if you run out of bullets in the future, you can come to me to prepare it, and I will give you a nine-percent discount."

"Thank you then."

In the end, not only did he buy a bone revolver, but he also took down three pistols that were as powerful as they were bloody. After the Ascending Spirit Fire got the blood, he even sold the black one, saying that it was given to Di Yu, and Lu Ping, who saw it, laughed, but he was a little distressed when he paid for it, and all of a sudden, 180,000 corpse crystals were gone.
