Chapter 16: The Gun Guy
When the deal ended, everyone was happy. Xue Taigong personally sent Li Ba out. When he came to the front store, Li Ba stopped and his eyes fell on the shotgun placed in the display case.
With nearly 6,000 pounds of food stamps in his pocket, it's time to realize his dream of having a gun!
"Brother Li, just say what you like. The old man is in charge and will give you a discount, all 7% off! Mrs. Xue was an old man, and he suddenly saw Li Ba's thoughts, and said with a smile.
Li Ba also simply took out a shotgun directly from the display case, tried it out, and was quite satisfied, "How to sell this gun?" ”
"Good eyesight." Xue Xiaoquan took half a step forward and introduced with a smile on his face: "This is a Hankou-made shotgun, which is different from ordinary shotguns, with five consecutive shots, a long range, and much more power. ”
"San'er, Brother Li is not an ignorant person, why are you talking so much, hurry up, just give a price!" Xue Taigong said with a smile. This old man is in good spirits, and his style of action is also very refreshing.
"The market price is two hundred catties of grain, if you want it, Brother Li, according to what Taigong said, you will get a seven-fold discount, and take one hundred and forty catties of grain stamps!" Xue Xiaoquan said happily.
Li Ba nodded. This gun is very well made, and it is no better than the shotguns sold in other shops in the market. One reload, five bursts of attacks, ordinary shotguns can't do it.
"How many pounds of bullets are a meal stamp?"
"If Brother Li wants it...... Give three catties of food stamps, this is already the bottom price, no matter how cheap it is, we will lose money! ”
"Good! I asked for a gun, and a hundred more rounds. ”
Li Ba quickly took out 440 catties of food stamps. After Xue Xiaoquan took it, he immediately sent someone to get the ammunition. Li Ba has a lot of money, and he needs to get it from the warehouse.
"Brother Li, although the power of this shotgun is not small, it is best used to deal with zombies, and it is still the best cold weapon." While waiting for the ammunition, Xue Taigong chatted with Li Ba.
"I believe that Brother Li also knows that zombies have poor eyesight, but their sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, especially extremely sensitive to sounds. If you encounter zombies in the wild and shoot rashly, you may attract more zombies...... Unless there is overwhelming firepower, in general, it is better to avoid shooting as much as possible. ”
At this point, Xue Taigong took out a spear from the booth. The spear was nearly two meters long, the body of the spear was bright, made of fine iron, and the tip of the spear was as sharp as a thorn, and it glowed with a faint cold light under the reflection of the light.
"To deal with zombies, the steel spear is the most effective, look at it, pierce the zombie's head with a spear, and easily solve the battle." Xue Taigong waved it a few times, and there was a steel spear weighing thirty-four catties, and the old man held it in his hand, as if he had nothing, and it was obvious that he was a practitioner.
Li Ba agreed. When the end came, although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he also killed several zombies with others as a last resort. Zombies are mutants of human infection with viruses, with atrophied eyesight, extremely sensitive auditory and olfactory organs, and extremely sensitive to sound and blood, and a little sound can attract a large number of zombies.
Although zombies have twice the strength of ordinary people and one and a half times the speed, they have no intelligence and rely on instinct to capture prey. Therefore, as long as you have experience and are brave and careful, it is not too difficult to hunt zombies.
In the process of escaping, Li Ba once saw his companions cooperate with each other and kill many zombies. He is also very clear about the basic characteristics of zombies.
"Zombie minions have corpse poison, and if they get a little bit of it, the living will be corpsed." Xue Taigong seemed to be interested, and took out a round shield from under the booth, "The steel spear is equipped with the handguard iron shield built by my Xue family, one attack and one defense, if you have strong hands and feet, you can deal with two or three zombies alone." ”
When Li Ba heard this, he became interested. took the contradiction from Xue Taigong's hand, played with it in his hand a few times, and decided to buy it too.
"Good strength."
The steel spear and iron shield weighing nearly seventy pounds were held in Li Ba's hands, and he didn't feel the slightest heaviness. Xue Taigong saw it on the side and blurted out praise.
Li Ba touched his bald head. He also felt that his strength had increased recently, and his body seemed to be much more flexible, could it be ...... Is this the reason to drink the water of the space spring?
The space spring water can mutate plants, and maybe even change the constitution of humans. Li Ba took this matter to heart, and when he went back this time, he would study it carefully.
Steel spears and iron shields, according to the marked price, a total of 360 catties of food stamps. Xue Taigong was in charge, and only received two hundred catties of food stamps, plus a leather case, which was almost half sold and half given.
This person is very favorable. Even Li Ba was a little embarrassed to be so cheeky, and decided in his heart that he would send the mutated grain branches and stems stored in the bracelet space tomorrow, which could be regarded as a gift exchange.
When the ammunition arrived, Li Ba settled the accounts and left. When he went out, he held a shotgun in his right hand, ammunition in his left hand, a steel spear and iron shield obliquely inserted behind his back, a cigarette in his mouth, and a black windbreaker with a big bald head.
He finally tasted the feeling of domineering side leakage, and he was triumphant. I went to a few more grocery stores and bought some sacks, plastic sheeting and other items before walking out of the market gate.
Turning a corner, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Li Ba put the sundries into the bracelet space and walked along the road towards the southeast side of the market. Not far from there, there is a market dedicated to selling cars. After arriving, at a glance, hundreds of cars were densely parked in the venue. Most of them are sedans, and vans are rare.
"Dude, what car do you want to buy? I have everything here, BMW Audi, cheap and fair. ”
A middle-aged man ran over. opened his mouth, revealing two big gold teeth, and greeted Li Ba with a smile.
With a sweep of his eyes, Li Ba really saw a lot of luxury cars, but the body was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it had been parked for a long time and no one cared about it. In the last days, nearly half of the population has turned into zombies, and cars are everywhere. As long as you are brave, you can touch the provincial highway from the West Port, and there are all kinds of luxury cars along the road. Therefore, vehicles are the least valuable in the last days, but fuel is expensive.
Li Ba glanced at it, but it was not agreeable. There are many cars here, but there are few trucks. A few of them were parked there, either with flat tires or in a dilapidated state, and it was difficult to drive out of the city.
After walking around, he finally found the car he wanted to buy.
"That's it!"
Li Ba pointed with his hand. Not far away there was a farm tricycle, which looked very new, and it was a good fit for him.
The big golden tooth was stunned for a moment, then gave Li Ba a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "The wind is windy, and the road is smooth." Dude, good eyesight! ”
I'll go!
Li Ba rolled his eyes when he heard this. This guy also read the advertising slogan, and he was very familiar, and he couldn't figure out that he was a monopoly on agricultural vehicles before the end of the world.
The car is not expensive, only ten catties of food stamps are needed, which is simply the price of Chinese cabbage. The money for fuel is not cheap, a liter of diesel fuel and a pound of food stamps. With a wave of his hand, Li Ba directly gave fifty catties of food stamps, paid for the car, and refueled the rest. At the same time, he did not forget to tell the golden tooth to send someone to check the condition of the car. If you turn off the engine on the road, it won't be fun.
"Okay!"
After receiving the food stamps, the big golden tooth was full of energy and beckoned his subordinates to get busy. In just about twenty minutes, the fuel was filled, the car condition inspection was over, and after the deafening engine sounded, the big gold tooth ran over sweating profusely, "Dude, the car condition is OK, it's all done, you don't need to repair it for 3,000 kilometers." ”
Li Ba let out an 'um' and prepared to drive away. When he got into the car, there was a shout from behind him: "Dude, this car is strong enough and has good performance, but the noise is a little loud, be careful when you go out of the city!" ”
Li Ba waved his hand. He knows the meaning of the big gold tooth, the noise is loud, and it is easy to attract zombies when going out of the city. The other party is well-intentioned, and for him, it doesn't matter if the noise is louder. When he goes out of town, he walks around the safety zone and doesn't run far. If you really want to search for supplies, you won't choose this Shifeng agricultural tricycle.
Sitting in the cab, the steel spear inserted in the back was a little in the way, and was thrown directly into the back compartment by Li Ba. Shotguns and iron shields were placed next to the co-pilot, and as soon as the accelerator was pressed, the 'da-da' exhaust pipe roared, black smoke plummeted, and the tricycle drove out of the parking lot.
Along the street, Li Ba drove his tricycle all the way out of the city. The reason why he chose this agricultural tricycle was mainly because of the semi-enclosed compartment in the back, as well as the good horsepower of the four-cylinder diesel engine, which was the most suitable for pulling goods.
As for excessive noise, it's not a problem. He didn't plan to drive this broken car to nearby towns to search for supplies.
After leaving the city, Li Ba first went to a refugee camp. Three gangs of a hero. He planned to go to Dafang Xiaofang and take them into the city. These two brothers are good and have helped Li Ba a lot. Take them into the city and you can have two more helpers yourself.
Driving a tricycle on the stinky side roads of the refugee camp. Not long after, Li Ba came to the shack where the generous and small Fang brothers lived. The wooden door was closed, and it was clear that the brothers had gone to do their hard work.
At a glance, Li Ba saw a middle-aged man at the opposite door, unkempt hair, naked and shriveled upper body, squatting in the corner. A pair of eyes full of envy secretly glanced at himself.
"Come here."
Li Ba hooked his finger at the man. The other party was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran over.
"Overlord." This guy came to the side of the car and nodded at Li Ba, listening to the tone as if he knew him.
A foul stench came from the man. Li Ba frowned and threw a piece of chaff directly. This is still Li Chao's miscellaneous reward to Ji'er a few days ago, since entering the city, such unpalatable food was almost thrown away by Li Ba. However, it comes in handy at this moment.
"Bring a word to the generous and small, let them not go to work tomorrow and wait for me at home." At this point, Li Ba glanced at it, saw that this guy's eyes were shining, staring at the chaff bun in his hand like a hungry wolf, and grinned: "The words are here, there will be a piece of chaff bun tomorrow, if you don't work with things, Lao Tzu wants you to look good!" ”
"Don't worry, the little one is guarding their door, and I will definitely bring your old words."
"Hmm."
Li Ba was also too lazy to be verbose, rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator, and the tricycle roared away with the roaring engine and billowing black smoke.
