Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Zhuang Xuteng never understood how the middleman's information network was laid out, and how he could find the mercenaries performing tasks without using communicators. But he knew that even if he asked, Lucy would answer with the words "commercial secret", which would probably never satisfy his curiosity. No matter what, as long as she can find Brother Dao, even if it takes three days.

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

"You are more majestic than before, and you have finally gained some muscles." Brother Dao clapped his hands a few times and said with a smile, "Is the PCPD training very useful? Do you know any beautiful girls in uniforms?"

"It's very useful. Its usefulness is similar to the pre-employment training in the factory. As for the girls, I do know a few of them, but I still think you are better." Zhuang Xuteng reached out to brush away the non-existent dust on Brother Dao's shoulders and said hypocritically Said: "Look, without my care, you are even injured..."

"Get out of here, you're pretending not to be like that at all." Ge Gongdao pointed to the bandage on his arm and said, "Injuries from boxing will heal in a few days and will not affect work. This time I have finally completed the training and can work." Are you ready for work?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Shall we buy equipment first?"

"You have to buy it. It just so happens that the black market has been having sales recently and there are some clearance activities. It's a good time for us to catch up. But as a mercenary, I always check the commission first and then buy the equipment, so as not to waste money."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "It makes sense. After all, we need to enter a positive cycle of investment and income!"

"Haha, you remember very clearly what I said three months ago!" 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, blew out the smoke ring gently, and said: "Nike asked me. The rating of your two-person partnership is almost non-existent. Now there are only some entrustments for checking, monitoring, delivering or picking up packages. You are more Which one do you like?"

"I just delivered the goods for more than half a month. I don't want to drive for the moment. Let's see if there is anything good about picking up the package. We will also prepare according to this." Brother Dao waved to Lucy, then put his arm around Zhuang Xuteng's shoulders. 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, threw it to Zhuang Xuteng, and said, "The subsequent 10,000 euros, plus a little extra dividend, the total will be About twelve thousand. In this way, all the rewards for our previous commissioned tasks will be settled. If you still 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 handheld radios, as long as they can steal the signal. Sometimes the package retrieval request does not specify the placement location before success, and temporary communication is required."

Ge Gongdao slapped his chest and said, "I'll take care of it! How about a communications station for the company's battlefield?"

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

The two people said that they remembered it, and then came downstairs talking and laughing. There was a car parked at the door of the building, a Piaotu Millennium, a double-cab pickup truck produced in 1999. A roof was added to the rear body of the truck to completely cover it.

"My car still has two months of use. If I don't return it later, my deposit will be deducted and I will buy it." Ge Gongdao kicked the wheel and said: "The 275/75 R15 tires can be used to push through, which is very good. There is nothing wrong with the car at the moment. I also want to keep it. What do you think?"

"It looks good. Have you been driving it lately when you're making deliveries?"

"Yes! I just rented it for work at first, but later I relied on it for two escapes, and I developed some feelings for it. Naike, you go and heat the steam engine, and I'll see how your driving skills are. By the way, you have a driver's license, right? ?”

"Yes. I asked my friends at the PCPD to get one done for me as a matter of urgency."

Civilian vehicles that use steam as the main power and electric power as the auxiliary power are more troublesome to start. The engine needs to be heated before it can obtain sufficient driving force. This kind of car cannot start and drive away as soon as you get on it, which is much more troublesome than a pure electric car. But the advantage is also obvious: cheap.

Since Zhuang Xuteng was asked to drive, he had to readjust the positions of the seat and steering wheel. Ge Gongdao was also doing the same thing in the passenger seat. Later, with Brother Dao constantly telling anecdotes about his delivery experience and occasionally giving directions, Zhuang Xuteng finally drove the car to its destination. Regarding this car, his evaluation is: it is not as good as a truck.

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

Well, I have already used the title of "darling", so I will probably keep this car.

Two people came to the black market to purchase items. The black market was called the black market because no one would check here if they paid enough protection fees. Of course, there are prerequisites for this, such as no fights, chaos, or particularly intolerable transactions, no exposure by the news media, and no PCPD property being sold here.

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

The patio is square and square, and the market can only have the same shape. Around the perimeter, closer to the load-bearing columns of the building, a long-term store is waiting for customers. From the outside to the inside, temporary tents, push carts and stalls divide their respective territories. The entire market is surrounded by an iron wall, and all shop windows and doors face inwards, which can only be seen when entering the market.

You do not need to unload your gun when entering the market, but you must conduct a body search to prevent people with evil intentions from affecting the tranquility and peace here. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao are both disciplined people. They openly allow people to check and accept the shadow detection spell. Brother Dao said that if you mix well and have an identity, you can pass directly without inspection. He once got that kind of treatment, and now he is at the low point of 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 - most likely gang members or mercenaries - there was actually a three-person PCPD team at the door.

Based on the knowledge he learned in the training, Zhuang Xuteng immediately recognized that these people were security patrols and should patrol everywhere instead of acting as security guards here. And judging from their familiarity with chatting with black market security guards, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day or two.

When I walked in, there were many stalls and few customers. Everything is sold here, or in other words, whatever is available is for sale, mainly fake goods that cannot obtain market access qualifications, some handmade products of residents, and some contraband and stolen goods.

"When shopping here, you should keep your eyes open, your ears open, and your wallet closed." Brother Dao said, "Just browse and take a look at the things on the street stalls. It is mainly the surrounding residents who come to buy them. Look, there are some medicines there. They are very popular. They may be things stolen from the hospital. There are also some daily necessities and electrical appliances, which are very cheap, and some people come here to pick them up. We mercenaries come and go often, and usually go to the surrounding shops to buy things. We are not afraid that they will run away, so we can buy things like this. The quality could also be better.”

Zhuang Xuteng looked around, and many people looked at him with eager eyes. Seeing that he was a stranger, he greeted him warmly and invited him over. Zhuang Xuteng smiled and shook his head, and then asked Brother Dao: "If there are good things, can they be sold here?"

"That's another set of procedures. It's quite troublesome and unnecessary." Ge Gongdao said: "If you have something to sell, or we get some extra loot in the commission to sell, find a familiar middleman to handle it. That’s it. Setting up a stall here or selling to a shop here, apart from not getting the right price, the key is taking up time. If you have that time, wouldn’t it be better to exercise more and take on a few more tasks?”

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

"Mercenaries buy things to entrust tasks, and the risks during the period must be weighed and borne by the mercenaries themselves. Intermediaries can also sell things, but they will never sell them to mercenaries, in order to isolate benefits and risks. If mercenaries buy them with Something happened to something, for example, the equipment was damaged, causing the commission to fail. Who do you think is responsible for this? The middleman calculated it very clearly and would not give excuses like mercenaries. When we get there, we will find this company."

The store has no name, but a black-painted board is hung in place of the signboard to highlight the "dark store" feature. Ge Gongdao said that it is actually called "Black Flag Grocery Store". The boss is a bit lazy, but the goods 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 stall nearby: a whole pile of alloy steel pistols. He called Brother Dao, then squatted down in front of the stall, picked up the alloy steel and examined it carefully.

Regardless of the weight, feel, and luster, Zhuang Xuteng will not admit that this is pistol alloy steel. He picked up the thing and showed it to Brother Dao, which made Brother Dao a little confused.

"What kind of iron piece is this?"

It's no wonder that he couldn't recognize it. This kind of 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 tell that this was for making pistols, so he changed his approach and pointed to the topic: "Brother Dao, how should I inquire about the price? Is there any particularity here?"

"Maybe there's some in there too, you go and take a look first." Brother Dao blinked and said.

"30 euros a piece!" The stall owner said quickly: "30 euros is a small amount of money. If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss and you won't be fooled. There are discounts for large quantities."

"30, that's not the right price... If it's 20 euros, I'll buy one first and let someone check it out. If that person wants it, I'll get it from you." Zhuang Xuteng said seriously: "This thing is available in many places now. If you buy it, the key is whether you can sell it, right?"

"You know your stuff, then 20!"
