Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 59 Chapter 58 Convenience Market
Zhuang Xuteng has never understood how the middleman's information network is laid out, and how to find the mercenaries who are performing tasks without using a communicator.But he knew that even if he asked, Lucy would answer with the words "commercial secrets", which might never satisfy his curiosity.Anyway, as long as she can find Brother Dao, even if it takes three days.

Ge Gongdao was still the same, except for the bandages on his wrists and two band-aids on his face.He was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhuang Xuteng, and he gave a bear hug when he came up, and laughed three times before letting go.

"You're more majestic than before, and you've finally gained some muscle." Brother Dao slapped his hands a few times and said with a smile, "Is the PCPD training useful? Do you know any pretty girls in uniforms?"

"It's very useful, and its usefulness is similar to the factory's pre-employment training. As for the girl, I do know a few, but I still think you are better." Zhuang Xuteng reached out to brush off the dust that did not exist on Brother Dao's shoulders, hypocritically Said: "Look, without my care, you are all injured..."

"Get out, you don't look like you at all." Ge Gongdao pointed to the bandage on his arm, and said, "The injury from punching will heal in a few days, and it won't affect your work. This time, you have finally completed the training and can do it." work?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Let's go buy equipment first?"

"I must buy it. It just so happens that the black market has been on sale recently, and there are some clearance activities. We can catch up with it. But as a mercenary, I always look at the entrustment before buying equipment, so as not to waste money."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and said: "It makes sense, after all, we must enter a positive cycle of investment and income!"

"Haha, you remember what I said three months ago very clearly!" Brother Dao was even happier. He turned to Lucy who had been left out for a while, and asked her if she had any good commissions recently.

Lucy snorted, exhaled smoke rings lightly, and said: "Nike asked me. The rating of the two of you is almost no, and now there are only some entrustments for spotting, monitoring, delivering or picking up packages. You are more Which do you like?"

"I just delivered the goods for more than half a month. I don't want to drive for the time being. Let's see if there is any good thing to pick up the package. Let's prepare according to this." Brother Dao waved his hand to Lucy, then put his arm around Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder and walked away go outside. "Let me tell you, where we are going, there is..."

"Wait!" Lucy stopped them, took out a bulging envelope from the drawer under the dining table and threw it to Zhuang Xuteng, and said, "The subsequent 1 euros, plus a little extra dividend, the total About [-]. In this way, all the rewards for our previous entrusted tasks will be settled. If you want to get money from me, you have to work! Do you understand?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, opened the envelope, roughly divided the money inside into three parts, and put them in three different pockets.

"Also, remember to buy a set of hand-held radios, as long as you can steal the signal. Sometimes the entrustment of picking up the package does not specify the location before it is successful, and you need to communicate temporarily."

Ge Gongdao patted his chest and said, "Leave it on me! How about a communication platform for the company's battlefield?"

"That would be even better." Lucy waved her hand and said, "I won't delay your shopping! Remember to close the door for me. By the way, I'm going to change rooms recently. Don't forget to look downstairs when you come next time. mailbox."

The two said they remembered it, and then they talked and laughed and came downstairs.There was a car parked at the entrance of the building, a Bumtuo Millennium model, a double-cab pickup produced in 99, and a roof was added to the rear part of the body to completely cover it.

"My car still has a two-month expiration date. If I don't return it later, my deposit will be deducted and I'll buy it." Ge Gongdao kicked the wheel and said: "The tires of 275/75 R15 can be squashed, which is very good. There is no problem with the car at present, and I also want to keep it. What do you think?"

"Looks good. Have you been driving it lately?"

"Yes! It was only rented to work, but later two escapes were all due to it, so I got a little emotional. Naike, you go to heat the steam engine, and I will see how your driving skills are. By the way, you have a driver's license, right? ?”

"Yes. I entrusted my friend from PCPD to expedite one for me."

Civilian vehicles with steam as the main power and electric energy as the auxiliary power are troublesome to start, and the engine needs to be heated to get enough driving force.This kind of car can't start and drive away as soon as it gets up, which is much more troublesome than a pure electric car.But the advantage is also obvious: cheap.

Since Zhuang Xuteng was going to drive, he had to readjust the positions of the seat and steering wheel. Ge Gongdao was also doing the same thing in the co-pilot position.Later, while Brother Dao kept telling anecdotes about his deliveries and occasionally giving directions, Zhuang Xuteng finally drove the car to the destination.For this car, his evaluation is: not as good as a truck.

"That's because your arm strength is too weak to handle this baby."

Well, the title of "Baby" has already been used, and it is estimated that this car will be kept.

Two people came to the black market to purchase items, and the reason why the black market is called a black market is because enough protection fees have been paid, no one will check here.Of course, there are prerequisites for this, such as no fighting, chaos, or particularly intolerable transactions, no exposure by the news media, and no sales of PCPD property here.

This black market is called "Baimin Cheap" and it is located in the central patio of a conjoined apartment building.Four forty-story buildings form a circle, and there will be an activity platform every fifth floor in the central patio, which is illuminated by imitation sunlight.On the platform, there are barber shops, restaurants, waste recycling, electrical repair and newspaper and magazine shops, as well as fighting arenas, parks and private entertainment venues.The Baimin cheap market is on the third platform.

The courtyard is square, and the market can only be the same shape.Around the position closer to the load-bearing columns of the building, a long-running shop is waiting for customers.From the outside to the inside, temporary tents, carts and stalls divide their respective sites.The entire market is surrounded by an iron wall, and all shop windows and doors are facing inward, which can only be seen when entering the market.

There is no need to unload the gun when entering the market, but a body search is required to prevent people with malicious intentions from affecting the tranquility and peace here.Both Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao were well-behaved people. They were frankly inspected and accepted the shadow detection spell.Brother Dao said that if you do well and have an identity, you can pass through without inspection.He used to get that kind of treatment, and now he's at a low point in his career.

In addition to the body search, "Children are not allowed to enter" and "PCPD tea break please go to 1404=="" were written at the entrance of the market.In addition to the security guards hired by the market at the gate—most likely gang members, or mercenaries—there was actually a three-person PCPD team.

According to the knowledge learned in the training, Zhuang Xuteng immediately recognized that these people belonged to security patrols and should patrol everywhere instead of acting as security guards here.And judging by how familiar they are with chatting and chatting with the black market security guards, this kind of thing is not a day or two.

When I went in, there were many stalls and few customers.Everything is sold here, or what is sold, mainly counterfeit goods that do not have market access qualifications, handmade products of some residents, and some contraband and stolen goods.

"When you go shopping here, you have to keep your eyes wide open, your ears pricked up, and your wallet covered." Brother Dao said, "You can just browse and look at the things on the street stalls, mainly the surrounding residents come to buy them. Look, there are some medicines over there. It may be something stolen from the hospital. There are also some daily necessities and electrical appliances, which are very cheap, and some of them come here to pick up leaks. Our mercenaries often come and go, and usually go to the surrounding shops to spend. I’m not afraid of them running away, so I can buy things like this The quality can be better.”

Zhuang Xuteng looked around, and many people also looked at him expectantly.Seeing that he was a new face, he greeted him warmly and invited him over.Zhuang Xuteng smiled and shook his head, then asked Brother Dao: "If there are good things, can you sell them here?"

"That's another set of procedures, quite cumbersome, and unnecessary." Ge Gongdao said: "If you have something to sell, or if we get some extra spoils from the entrustment to sell, find a familiar middleman to handle it." That’s fine. Setting up a stall here or selling it to a shop here, apart from not being able to get a suitable price, the key is to take up time. If you have that time, go exercise more and take on a few more tasks, wouldn’t it be good?”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, but he still had doubts: "Since the middleman receives the goods, why don't they sell them?"

"Mercenaries buy things to entrust tasks, and the risks during the period must be measured and borne by the mercenaries themselves. Middlemen can also sell things, but they are determined not to sell to mercenaries for the purpose of isolating benefits and risks. If mercenaries buy If something went wrong, for example, the equipment was damaged and the commission failed, who do you think is responsible for this? The intermediary is very clear and will not give excuses like mercenaries. When we arrive, we will find this company."

The store has no name, but a board with black paint is hung on the signboard to highlight the characteristics of a "black store".Ge Gongdao said that it is actually called "Black Flag Grocery Store". The owner is a bit lazy, but the items are good.

Zhuang Xuteng was about to follow in, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw something unexpected on the nearby stall: a whole stack of alloy steel pistols.He called Brother Dao, then came to the stall and squatted down, picked up the alloy steel and examined it carefully.

Whether it is weight, touch, or luster, Zhuang Xuteng will not admit that this is alloy steel for pistols.He picked up the thing and showed Brother Dao, which confused Brother Dao a little.

"What kind of iron piece is this?"

It's no wonder he couldn't recognize it. This alloy steel will change a lot after being made into a pistol, including texture, hardness, and even color.

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, and he shouldn't be able to directly say that this is for making pistols, so he changed his method and pointed directly at the topic: "Brother Dao, how should I inquire about the price, is there any particularity here?"

"Maybe there are also inside, you go and see first." Brother Dao blinked and said.

"30 euros a piece!" The stall owner said quickly: "30 euros, small money, you can't buy it at a loss and you can't be fooled. If you buy a large quantity, you will get a good deal, and there will be a discount."

"30, the price is wrong... If it's 20 euros, I'll buy one and have it checked by someone else. If that person wants it, I'll buy it from you." Zhuang Xuteng said seriously: "This thing can be found in many places now. The key to buying is whether you can sell it, right?"

"You know how to do it, then 20!"
