Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 230 Chapter 228

According to a fortune-telling TV program in the early morning, today is a good day to move.By extension, it should also be suitable for getting Dr. Truth Booker out of prison.

Except for advertisements, there are roughly three types of TV morning programs: weather forecast, news and fortune-telling.The weather forecast is useless. Even if the weather is sunny and sunny, the rain in Peicheng will fall as soon as it is said, without warning at all.Anyway, I always bring an umbrella or a raincoat when I go out, so I don’t need to read the weather forecast at all.

The content in the news has been edited, and it is often far from the actual situation, and Zhuang Xuteng is unwilling to read it.At most, he pays attention to where serious crimes have occurred again, where is blocked by PCPD for inspection, and when the advertisement for Bentu will appear.

Relatively speaking, fortune-telling shows provide more accurate forecasts among the three categories, and have always been the most popular background sound provider for the people of Peicheng during breakfast.It is said that the fortune-telling show is not nonsense, it is the prophetic spells of the priests of several major churches in the age of gods.Although the gods have left, there is still some inertia in the world they shaped, at least in the big cities, activities such as fortune-telling still retain some accuracy.

Zhuang Xuteng turned off the TV, filled the water basin and rice bowl filled with meat buns, stroked this cute cutie who was getting sticky, put on his gear and went out.He prepared two big bags for Truss, more than half of which were food and drink, and the other was some change of clothes and daily necessities.There was a TV in the room at the Shelter Hotel, and Zhuang Xuteng got him a radio—these should be enough.

After arriving at the hotel and closing the door, Zhuang Xuteng came to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall through meditation.The Lich Master knew what he was here for, so he went straight to the point: "Truss Booker is currently in a coma, and his locator beacon is about to be digested."

"Then bring him, and then I'll take him away." Zhuang Xuteng asked: "Master, can you help me find out if Truth Booker has been installed with a tracking device?"

"Spells can't escape my eyes, and I can't understand the shadow from the equipment." Master Lich shook his head and said, "If you don't feel safe, I can send him to you to kill, just like the last time I did that Presumptuous bastards do the same thing."

"That's not necessary, Truss is rich in knowledge, and he is still useful." Zhuang Xuteng nodded to the Lich Master, and said, "Please send him here."

The whole process was very simple: Master Lich dragged Dr. Truth Booker to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall according to the location of the sheepskin fragments, asked Zhuang Xuteng to carry him on his back, and then sent the two of them back to the Sanctuary Hotel room.During this period, Dr. Booker has been in a coma and has no idea what happened.

That's fine, it saves a lot of explaining.Zhuang Xuteng put the doctor on the chair, wiped his face with a wet towel, opened his mouth and poured some Legion juice.After a while, Booker slowly woke up.He opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling, and immediately jumped up like an electric shock, grabbed the chair in his hand, and looked at Zhuang Xuteng warily.

"You have been rescued from prison. They asked me to place you here. You are safe for the time being." Zhuang Xuteng sat on the bed, and then signaled the doctor to put down the stool in his hand. "Keep quiet and listen to me first, you have a lot of precautions to live here."

"Where am I?" asked the Doctor. "What time is it?"

"This is Peicheng. This is a secret residence used by mercenaries. You can understand it as a simple safe house. My code name is N, and you can call me by this. And your code name here is 9527, which is the same as the room You will use this code until your new identity is processed."

Dr. Booker nodded, then secretly pinched his face and thighs to confirm that it was not a dream.

"There are food, water, a change of clothes, and some daily necessities and entertainment items, all for you. The medicine box is in the closet, and you can simply treat the wounds on your body. There are instructions for using the safe house on the table at the door. Look carefully at how to get supplies. Do not leave this room at this time until we can confirm that you are not being tracked and arrange a new identity and accommodation for you."

"Okay, I'll follow the arrangement." Dr. Booker frowned and said, "Why don't I remember how I was rescued?"

"When I picked you up, you were in a coma until I woke you up just now. I don't know anything else, I just collect money to arrange you." Zhuang Xuteng continued to play the role of a shelter service provider, he Said: "You don't need to worry about the cost of living here. In addition to two meals a day, you still have a credit line of [-] euros. If you want to buy anything, just contact the front desk and deduct it from the total amount."

Dr. Booker asked, "How long do I need to be here? Is there an approximate time?"

"At least half a year, at most a lifetime." Zhuang Xuteng made a half-smile expression, and said: "Save some money for [-] euros. After spending all of it, you can only eat the same nutritious meal every day. It will be quite boring. Put you The person who gave it to me asked me to convey a few words, and I wrote them down, and they are...here."

Zhuang Xuteng took out a note and read out the words he had written in advance: "You have been rescued, there will be no next time. The deceased needs your confession. There are paper and pens in the room. You are being searched, pay attention to your own safety. You won't be reassigned until you prove your worth outweighs the trouble it might cause."

Dr. Booker turned his head to look at the piles of manuscript paper on the table, and asked, "What do you need me to write?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. I will take time to visit you and take away what you wrote. There is a sealed bag inside the table. Don't let me know what you wrote. I don't want to get involved." Zhuang Xuteng wrote The shadow eye inspected Dr. Booker and said: "There is one thing left for my work, which is to check the number and capabilities of the implants you have installed and the shadow equipment. You have many shadow energy signals on your body. , I'm going to do a cursory look for a tracking device."

"Tell me what shadows..."

The doctor's words were roughly interrupted by Zhuang Xuteng: "I'm here to check you, not to report to you. If you don't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, this is a temporary safe house to isolate risks. If you are tracked or Taking it away won't affect the person who rescued you. As for me... If you don't cooperate, I can choose not to come depending on the risk."

"I'm just asking, not sticking with that idea. The implants I've had include…"

While introducing the implants, Dr. Booker pointed out their specific positions with his hands so that Zhuang Xuteng could check them.At present, every shadow energy signal can be matched, but this does not rule out the possibility of installing tracking equipment inside the implant to allow the signals to merge.Zhuang Xuteng told him this matter clearly, and reiterated that this is only a temporary safe house, which does not mean that he is out of danger.

After explaining the precautions here, Zhuang Xuteng got up and left without any hesitation.After the door closed, Dr. Booker was alone again. He stood in the middle of the room for a while, and then began to check the facilities here, trying to find a camera that didn't exist.After turning the house upside down, he picked up the precautions at the door to check.

There must have been a stage where Dr. Booker would not have believed that he had been rescued, but he had no way of proving or disproving it.Shut him down first, and then contact him further as the situation develops.Zhuang Xuteng will not touch Booker's account, nor will he show any special concern.He thought it would be better for him to remain isolated, to make Dr. Booker need him more, not the other way around.

The hotel usage fee was paid directly for one year, plus an additional service credit of [-] euros. Zhuang Xuteng made up his mind not to go in a short time.Dr. Booker is an adult, he should understand the risks outside - if he doesn't understand, there is no need for Zhuang Xuteng to save him.Especially after two days, the sheepskin fragments will be completely digested, and it will be impossible to save it even if you want to save it next time.

After arranging this matter, Zhuang Xuteng went to the base of operations.Oh, it should be called "Training Base" now.Ge Gongdao was not at home, so he left a note, saying that he would go to the refitting factory to live temporarily, so as not to damage his beloved car by a stupid repairman.But Zhuang Xuteng felt that he was more likely to prevent theft.Judging from the madness of the scalpers in the sales department, these new cars are especially popular on the black market, so there are probably not a few gangsters and even mercenaries who want to play with them.

There is one thing to say, the feel of gasoline engine vehicles is really good, the acuity of acceleration and deceleration is higher, and the ability of continuous acceleration is also stronger.Zhuang Xuteng practiced "anti-skeleton pounce" at the training base for a while, and felt that the training effect without Brother Dao's cooperation was very poor, so his thoughts turned to the car unconsciously.He suddenly thought of one thing: Boss Qian in the black market should have such a car, right?
He really guessed right.Once he got a shotgun from Dexter, and then he could buy the same type of product from Boss Qian.Now that gasoline engine vehicles are on the market, he has new options here.

"You are also a shareholder of gasoline cars!" Zhuang Xuteng joked with a smile, and Boss Qian also smiled, obviously in a good mood. "Did you go to the scene to see it? The sales are very hot, all the spot goods are sold out, and the orders are all full; scalpers block the door, and customers line up long. This is the rhythm of making a lot of money!"

"It's really hot. Any product that represents advanced technology should get this kind of treatment." Boss Qian said, "Did you receive the surprise your brother gave you? That motorcycle is not bad, right?"

"Pretty good, fun, and beautiful."

"The performance was adjusted by your brother himself, and the appearance was selected by me, of course they are all the best." Boss Qian boasted with a thumbs up, and then said: "Why, the motorcycle is enjoyable, so you want to change a car? "

"Yes. Gasoline vehicles start quickly, which is a very useful feature for me. Although my current armored vehicle has dual-engine pressurization, I can use a small steam engine to keep warming up the car, but that is not as good as gasoline vehicles."

"The starting speed of pure electric cars is actually faster than gasoline cars... Although the Baiqi grocery store does have some gasoline cars, I suggest you not to choose this way. Baiqi cars are very unique in this world, and their appearance is different. You Need attention?"

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head.

Boss Qian went on to say: "In addition, if you want a car, you should go to your brother directly. The things here are expensive. Well... don't get me wrong, the whole car here will be more expensive. The technology tree of the car, but not all the technology trees of the car. There are some more unique technologies in the car of Baiqi, and the premium of this part is very scary.”

"Huh...you've used this routine several times. I should just ask you if you have any suggestions, right?"

"Still use your original car. I'll modify it for you, changing the combination of a steam engine and an electric motor into a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor. I will recycle the old engine to restore blood and save some money for you. Your armored car has You won't see any changes on the road, but it will run faster and have more power!"

Zhuang Xuteng smiled crookedly, and said, "That's a good idea, how much is the modification fee?"

"You get what you pay for, Baiqi Grocery Store is a good one." Boss Qian said, "If you agree to this plan, first pay a design fee of [-] euros, and I will give you a detailed modification plan. Not a set, but There are several sets, they have different emphases, you pick one of them to implement. The speed of modification is very fast, make a plan now, and drive away in four hours.”

"Phew... In the past, I would have been reluctant to spend two thousand euros on a plan. But now we are all shareholders and bosses?" Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said, "It's only 2000 yuan. Look, I don't even bring a bargain!"

"Hahaha, it sounds like a rich man." Boss Qian clicked a few times in the void, and then sat down and chatted with Zhuang Xuteng to pass the time waiting for the plan. "I have estimated the cost and income of Bentu Motors here. Since the existing production lines are used in automobile manufacturing, they are all rented, and the rent is extremely cheap. The construction cost of the entire factory is greatly reduced, and the sales are good enough. You can recover the cost and make a profit this year. If you don’t continue to invest and use it all for dividends, you can have at least five or six million yuan in income.”

"Ho Ho, that's really good." Zhuang Xuteng stroked his chin, expressing his satisfaction with the number.This is only the first year, and the sales behavior is not counted from January 1st. Taking the 1 million as interest, the return on investment is already quite high.

"However, in terms of production, the actual equity dividends may be less, because your brother plans to expand production and build a new dedicated production line. This is mainly to prevent problems before they happen, so that the current production line cannot be rented or the real equity status is discovered. Raise rents. Once manufacturing is stopped, orders cannot be delivered, and the vicious circle will be bad. However, when new cars are launched, it is expected that there will be some income from technology licensing. The market for new cars is huge, and some profits must be shared with big companies. There is more support."

"These business matters sound complicated, but I don't know how to do them..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Theoretically, you can provide exactly the same car, but it's more expensive, right?"

"Technically yes, but Baiqi grocery store doesn't allow that. Baiqi is also a shareholder, and the sudden extra cars, even if they are exactly the same, will disrupt the market. Besides, there is no one who smashes his own factory."

"Your White Flag grocery store is very interesting. I never thought there would be a cross-world store...but the store crosses the world, but you can only stay in this black market. Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

Boss Qian smiled mysteriously, but did not answer.

"Okay, it must be related to some confidential information again, I can completely understand. Is the design plan ready? I think no matter what services you have here, they are always amazingly fast."

"Okay." Boss Qian got up, opened the drawer behind him, and took out six pieces of paper from it.Each piece of paper is a plan, including design drawings, costs and functional details.Zhuang Xuteng took a closer look, and found that the performance provided by each plan was higher than that of the original car, and they were just trade-offs in some special performances, which depended on his ideas and needs.

Zhuang Xuteng calmed down and thought about his needs carefully.After the starting speed is satisfied, the biggest problem facing the armored vehicle is the source of fuel.At present, only Peicheng has a gas station, and his scope of action may be wider.The solution that can load the most oil and ensure the safety of the oil becomes the first choice.

The second most important thing is camouflage, at least the closer the sound sounds to a steam engine, the better, or the quieter the sound, the better.In this regard, the idea of ​​being able to drive the entire vehicle with an electric motor is very attractive, which is really stealth mode.Of course, limited by the weight of the vehicle, the speed in stealth mode cannot be increased, but the running speed of ordinary people should be sufficient.

The third point is safety. What we are talking about here is not driving safety, but combat safety.After refitting, the car must be bulletproof, maintain integrity and usability in a collision, and this part involves a lot of refitting, and it is quite expensive.However, Zhuang Xuteng is not what he used to be. He is also a "rich boss", and he is qualified to spend his money well and get the services he wants.

"Just these two! Plan No. [-] is the priority, and plan No. [-] will be combined." Zhuang Xuteng pointed at the two most expensive plans and said carelessly.
