Chapter 48: frightened

Views:

It is actually not very accurate to say that it is a fortification. To be precise, this is a camp area.

Four square towers more than a hundred meters high stand at the four corners of the camp. From bottom to top, there are densely packed cold iron pipes of different sizes that look like hedgehogs. In addition, almost every ten minutes, there are A fighter jet flew through the sky, circling in the field for reconnaissance.

There are craters everywhere, and even the air is filled with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke, making people feel that a battle may happen at any time.

Whenever the thunderous sound of the plane sounded, there would be a commotion in the distant jungle, like a strong wind blowing. Even if he didn't see it, he could still imagine the countless mutant beasts running around in fear in this forest.

"There are more than twenty such forward bases in Hedong City, and this is the nearest one." Qian Dakui was used to seeing this kind of scene, and was not surprised at all. He turned back to Luo Yuan and said, "Now let's go through the formalities first. Then rent some weapons!"

Luo Yuan came back to his senses: "Any weapons can be rented?"

"As long as you can carry it and have enough food stamps!" Yang Dawei smiled and made a gesture of counting money: "Rifles, sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, and grenades can all be rented. They also know that if there is no such powerful Weapons like this will only lead to death in the wild.”

Several people got out of the car and Qian Dakui opened the trunk, which contained some cold weapons.

"But sometimes cold weapons are more useful. The sound of guns and cannons is too loud, which can easily attract a large number of mutant beasts." Zhang Chao said lightly, then picked up a recurved folding crossbow, checked it skillfully, and picked up another one. The military spurs rubbed against the trouser legs, and the movement was very crisp and clean.

Yang Dawei picked a Nepalese scimitar. Qian Dakui took a dagger, stuck it on his waist, and then closed the trunk. Seeing Luo Yuan's weird look, he immediately explained awkwardly: "Don't look at me like that. I'm mainly a machine gunner now. There are too many things, no matter how strong my physical strength is, they can't bear it."

"No need to explain, I'm not laughing at you!" Luo Yuan laughed.

At this time, another car came over and stopped directly next to the Jinbei car. The car door opened, and five people walked out. As soon as they got off the car, they looked in this direction. The faces of Qian Dakui and others quickly darkened.

The two pairs looked at each other and then looked away, obviously not wanting to cause a conflict in front of the military camp.

"Who are these people?" Luo Yuan asked after the group of people left.

Qian Dakui's face was gloomy and he said nothing.

"I don't know. I just know that he is from Hedong City, and he is not very compatible with us. We have had several conflicts before." Yang Dawei said with a somewhat embarrassed look.

Luo Yuan felt that Yang Dawei didn't mean what he said, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask any more questions.

Under the inspection of several soldiers, several people walked into the heavily guarded camp and entered a small building with exposed bricks and stones. The first floor is an extremely simple hall, and the few people from Hedong City go through the formalities at a counter in front.

Seeing them coming, one of them glanced provocatively and made a gesture of slitting his throat, and the rest of them burst into laughter.

Qian Dakui's face turned red and white, and his teeth chattered. Just when Luo Yuan thought that a conflict was inevitable, he didn't expect that he took a deep breath at the end and couldn't help it anymore!

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Not only Qian Dakui, but also Zhang Chao and Yang Dawei all looked angry but dared not speak. Their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. In addition, Luo Yuan keenly discovered that there seemed to be a trace of something hidden in the eyes of these three people. Fear.

There was definitely something weird here. Luo Yuan looked at the five people carefully. One of them felt something and suddenly looked back at Luo Yuan, with a smile of unknown meaning appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He has a good sense of perception, which is already extremely sharp for ordinary people. It seems that the person who makes the three of them afraid is him.

But... it doesn't look like him. He looks too ordinary. He doesn't have the temperament of a strong man at all. He is the kind of person who can't be found in the crowd. Even if he is standing there, there is a feeling that people can't help but ignore him. .

And the leader was obviously not him, he looked like a marginal figure.

Weird, so weird!

Luo Yuan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

After the five people left, Luo Yuan felt that Qian Dakui and the other three breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.

After paying a hundred kilograms of food stamps, Luo Yuan received a piece of paper with the seal of the 7th Battalion of the 16th Regiment, and then went to an office next to an arms warehouse.

A middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure was sitting loosely in the office. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he looked more like a businessman. Seeing Luo Yuan and others coming in, a smile appeared on his face: "What do you need?"

Yang Dawei was in charge of logistics and asked Luo Yuan what weapons he wanted. Luo Yuan waved his hand. For him, a sword was enough. Even if he was given a gun, he wouldn't be able to shoot accurately.

Yang Dawei hesitated for a moment and glanced at Qian Dakui. Seeing Qian Dakui's expression on his face, he stopped asking any more questions and turned to the middle-aged officer and said, "Director Huang, just like you before, we want a handful of A Type 56 light machine gun, a Type 88 sniper rifle, and a Type 81 rifle with a grenade launcher, won’t the prices go up again?”

"It's still the same price, but it may increase recently. After all, our military region consumes a huge amount every day." The middle-aged officer said without raising his eyes, took out a calculator, and pressed it for a while: "The deposit is 12,000 kilograms." Food stamps, what bullets do you want?”

Yang Dawei curled his lips in disbelief, but he could think of a way. Even if the other party immediately raised the price, he could only grit his teeth and continue: "Twenty rounds of armor-piercing bullets, a thousand rounds of general-purpose bullets, five grenades, and eight more grenades. !”

The middle-aged officer quickly calculated again: "A total of 16,850 kilograms of food stamps."

Yang Dawei took out a leather bag and quickly paid the bill. A standard salesman-like smile suddenly appeared on the middle-aged officer's face: "Do you want mortars?"

Yang Dawei asked a little doubtfully: "What model is it?"

"The Type 60 mortar is well maintained. It is as good as new and has good power!" the middle-aged officer said with a smile.

Yang Dawei discussed it with a few people, shook his head and said: "Forget it, there is too much noise!"

"That's a shame." The middle-aged officer smiled.

Although Luo Yuan was not a military fan, he could see that the weapons provided by the military were mostly obsolete items, many of which were not even used by the militia.

But it's normal to think about it. Instead of continuing to hide these weapons in strategic reserve warehouses, it is better to use them as waste. This can not only greatly increase income, but also slightly reduce the pressure faced by the military in Hedong City.

Next, the three of them took the approval slip, collected their weapons from the military warehouse, and left directly.

After passing the last checkpoint, the Jinbei truck bumped for five minutes on the bumpy ground caused by repeated artillery bombardment, and finally stopped in front of a jungle.
