Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 106 A Highly Confidential Escort

After the last gang war between the Steam Party and the Cross Society, both sides were hurt.

Su Lun also heard some news in the exchange circle of high-level professionals in the black market, saying that it is the benefactor behind the Cross Society, and that Mrs. Fino is having a hard time recently, which has also led to the poor economic situation within the Cross Society. good.

Although the Cross Society looks the same as before, it is still the dominant gang in Nancheng. But Su Lun also saw some signs, and the high-level executives also kept a low profile. The most obvious manifestation was that the expansion of the gang's scale had almost stagnated.

The treatment of the old people has not changed, but now the number of recruits has dropped sharply.

Kay, the captain with only one team member, has been a polished commander all this time.

Because of this, this guy who has nothing to do is thinking about making trouble for the steam party all day long.

The night is dark and windy.

On a remote abandoned overpass in the XC area, two armed masked men were quietly lying in ambush.

Su Lun drove a sniper rifle and aimed at the end of the road not far away.

With a grass root in his mouth, Kai also observed with a telescope.

When he first heard Kay's idea of ​​"making a big ticket", Su Lun actually rejected it in his heart.

He wants to develop obscenely, and he needs a lot of time to digest the knowledge in his hand;

But the reality is that the savings balance in his pocket is bottoming out day by day, so he has to find a way to get some money.

Su Lun is currently short of money, and most of the bonuses and spoils from the last gang fight have been consumed.

Whether it is my own mechanical research, the production of puppet dolls, or the production of potions at Danny's place, it is a bottomless pit of burning money.

The more advanced the material, the more money it burns.

Can you make potions by giving some materials?

That's what a layman would say.

It doesn't matter for low-level potions, but it's difficult for high-level potions.

There are all kinds of precision instruments needed to refine medicines. The more you want to refine high-level medicines, the more stringent the requirements for equipment. Even second-hand goods found on the black market are not cheap. Tens, millions, and expensive maintenance and repair costs

And if you want to ensure the success rate and obtain low-impurity medicines, you have to have a sterile laboratory.

Danny said that according to the standards of inner city laboratories, a standard laboratory would cost hundreds of millions. Not to mention those specially developed special instruments.

The output of the small workshop-style medicine refining method is extremely low, and you can gamble on your luck by practicing a few medicines. But Su Lun wants to take this as a long-term way to make money, and some investment is necessary.

In the end, a low-end version of the pharmaceutical laboratory was built one after another, and it cost several million.

Then there is the attempt of a high-level puppet doll. If it fails once, the material waste is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. This is also a necessary consumption to become stronger.

There are also a series of mechanical research such as "Iron Man II".

Su Lun calculated that he needed to save a large amount of money to buy the things that the wild hunters brought back from the ruins.

Secrets of spiritual power, [Cursed Hair of the Weeping Witch], or in case he encounters a curse material that is suitable for him to advance to the second level. These are the real big spenders.

He didn't want to miss out on a great opportunity because he didn't have the money.

People can't get rich without windfall, and it's even crueler in this different world.

There's no quicker way to make money than by robbing a rival gang.

Kai said excitedly: "Hey. I've always heard that steam has a channel to get machinery and equipment from the inner city, but this time I really caught it. This time, I heard that the inner city transported a batch of city equipment. The 'military-grade mechanical equipment' just replaced by the guards. There are a lot of them, and I estimate that they are worth at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions."

It's no secret that the patrons behind the Steam Party have access to control machinery and equipment in the inner city.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large gang to support the research and development of prosthetic limbs with a few gangster Yeluzi mechanics alone. Not to mention the truly cutting-edge mechanical prosthetics of the steam party's high-end combat power.

"Captain, you have said it eighth times"

Su Lun laughed and complained.

Hearing this, he also had expectations in his heart at first.

Really, as Kay said, this batch of goods is worth hundreds of millions, and it is really worth grabbing a wave.

But the two of them have been squatting here for almost two days and two nights, and they haven't even seen a ghost.

Apart from knowing that the Steam Party convoy would take this route, Kai had very limited information. The escort time, the quantity of goods, and the configuration of escort personnel are all "speculation".

But it was because of the uncertainty of this information that the two of them squatted patiently for so long.

As members of the gang, they know very well that the higher the level of secrecy, the more valuable the escorted goods will be.

"Let me tell you, Captain, could your information be wrong? This route is so remote, and if you go there, it will be a barren park. Even if it is mechanical equipment, it should be sent to the various base camps of the Steam Party, to this wilderness, Not very reliable."

It's not that Su Lun doesn't have the patience to wait any longer. He said this as a joke.

This road is overgrown with weeds, and it does not seem to be a serious transportation route.

However, apart from the fact that the route is a bit remote, the others are also in line with the situation of secret escort.

Kay was also a little bored, with an expression of indifference on his face: "Whatever it is, idleness is idleness anyway~ Let's wait here, if we really come, we will make money; if we don't come, we won't lose money .”

Su Lun: "Hehe, I don't know what the situation of the enemy's escort force is, so you think it will succeed?"

Kay said disapprovingly: "The normal escort configuration is only one captain-level combat force and ten or eight non-professionals. Your marksmanship is so good, and we are enough to kill you."

"Ah"

Su Lun chuckled noncommittally.

And coincidentally, at this moment, he found something in the sniper scope, and said softly, "Here we come!"

He observed carefully, and said again: "There are three vehicles in total! One truck, two jeep drivers and escorts, I saw a total of twelve people!"

This is quite a standard escort configuration.

"Damn it, it's really here!"

Kai is also happy.

He saw clearly the appearance of the people in the car through the high-powered binoculars, and told the information he knew, "The captain of the escort is "Barbarian" Buck Vista, a veteran professional of the Steam Party, and his talent is [D-003] -Bloodthirsty madness], after madness, it can block pain and increase strength, and the prosthetic limb is converted into a honeycomb gun arm. Are you sure? "

"no problem."

Su Lun squinted and nodded.

In his impression, this person is indeed quite strong.

But as long as it is a mechanical warrior of the first order, in his eyes, there is not much threat.

Su Lun was not careless, and scanned the other eleven people in the car.

Most of them looked familiar, and "Barbarian" Buck sat in the passenger seat of the lead car, which meant that there should be no one with a higher status than him in the team.

After confirming that the enemy's escort force was only a regular 12-member elite team, the two also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the convoy approached slowly, Kai licked his lips, "Hey, Brother Su Lun, you are squatting down and sniping, I'm going to ambush."

Su Lun nodded: "Well, be careful. Follow the plan. If there is an accident, stop immediately."

"good."

Kai Zhizhi undressed and touched it quietly.

Because it was an ambush, Su Lun and Kai planted anti-tank mines in advance.

Just when the convoy had just driven into the ambush circle, the leading jeep hit a landmine, and with a "boom", it instantly turned into a ball of flames, and was blown up more than ten meters.

Seeing the attack, the escort convoy showed no signs of fighting, and immediately planned to turn around and escape.

But on the ground behind, there was also a mechanical landmine modified by Su Lun. After turning around, he didn't run very far, and immediately triggered a landmine that could only be triggered by reverse rolling. Another steam jeep was also blown upside down.

Su Lun was not idle either, he aimed at the driver of the truck through the scope of the sniper rifle, and pulled the trigger when he saw the right opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the alchemy bullet did not penetrate the glass!

"bullet-proof glass?"

Su Lun frowned, suddenly feeling a little weird.

If such a large windshield in front of the car can resist alchemy bullets, it is not cheap, and the modification price is worth the price of an ordinary truck.

At least, definitely not what this rusty-looking escort truck would normally install!

He immediately told Kai the abnormality he found through the communicator: "Captain, that truck has bulletproof glass, be careful."

"receive!"

The front and rear vehicles had been blown up. Seeing that the robbery was imminent, it was impossible for Kay to give up.

Seeing that the truck was about to run, he nimbly slid into the bottom of the truck from the side of the road, and then he saw that the bottom of the truck was also equipped with an explosion-proof plate, and there was no place to grab a hand.

"It's a good thing to be prepared."

Kay muttered in his heart, took out the suction cup and adsorbed himself to the bottom of the car, and then installed Su Lun's modified adsorption alchemy bomb on the pipe.

After activating the detonating device, as soon as the other person rolled out of the vehicle, the truck frantically tried to escape, but suddenly there was a "boom".

Although the vehicle was not overturned, the alchemy bomb also blew through the power pipe under the bulletproof plate on the bottom of the vehicle, completely laying the truck down.
