Chapter 961: New commission, the western suburbs are really a treasure!
"Load our goods and let's go!"
In order to carry more scavengers to explore around the territory, the engineering version of the functional machine previously mounted on the climbing vehicle has been removed and used on the first-generation test model.
This is the first order issued by Sumo to Lianmeng Steel Factory in the name of Underground City.
The goal is to create a short-distance transport vehicle that can carry more than five tons of cargo or about 20 people.
As the director of the factory, Mala Tie Hammer has proven that as long as the issue of comfort is not considered, there will basically be no difficulties in the entire manufacturing process of the car.
The materials used to make the car are smelted, rolled into a frame, and then joined together by strong welding.
Successfully built this pickup truck, which is about seven meters long and two meters wide, with a large cargo bucket on the back.
On weekdays, when I need to transport goods, my stuff is stuffed in the back.
If you need to pull people in at a critical moment, then squeeze in the back bucket, let alone twenty, or even thirty people.
Considering that this thing doesn't care about comfort at all, not only is it not equipped with additional seats for the sake of lightweight design, but the chassis is not even comparable to the simplest trailer suspension.
Sumo simply chose to ride an off-road motorcycle and follow the left side of this first-generation Nengshi pickup truck to the transaction location.
Different from the last time when both parties made a sneaky transaction, this time Liu Lu deliberately chose the trading time at five o'clock in the afternoon.
During this time, although the sky was still a little dark under the influence of the fog, it was finally a little less gloomy.
Even when we traveled far to the edge of Qinggang City, the entire post-war city was no longer as depressing as before, but instead had a different kind of shocking beauty that cannot be described in words.
"What a miracle. Only games have such an ability to bring a city here..."
The doomsday madman sitting in the front row opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but murmur.
Seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it from the scavenger team are completely different things.
The giant mutated rats and mutated cockroaches that sprang out of the sewer and fled in panic.
Those two- and three-story small foreign-style buildings are covered with traces of time and only ruins remain.
The mottled and slippery ground was mixed with an unknown amount of biomass.
And the tall buildings hidden behind in the mist.
The twelve accompanying Tianyuan Army soldiers also stared straight-eyed, their dull gazes gradually being replaced by strong shock.
Damn...
This is the city of Qinggang that is being discussed fiercely in the chat channel these days?!
Good guy, no wonder the lord suddenly wants to implement a reproduction plan and increase investment in territory defense and military.
Anyone who sees this huge city that is so vast that it is beyond the reach of their imagination will feel deeply uneasy in their heart.
I took a deep breath of the humid air coming from the car window. The unique smell was very much like the dampness in a city after a rain.
Driving in such urban lanes, the Tianyuan soldier in charge of driving mustered his attention.
The pickup truck stopped and went along the remote streets to the designated trading location.
Perhaps because Darren had cleared the entire western suburbs in the past two days, he did not encounter any danger along the way.
Near the ruins where we talked the night before, there is a place that may have been used for pre-mixing building materials.
Almost as soon as the pickup truck drove in through the abandoned gate, Liu Lu walked out from a hidden corner, followed by five familiar faces who came with him last time.
The two sides met each other from a distance, and their relationship has improved greatly compared to the last time.
However, when Su Mo drove in from behind on a motorcycle, Liu Lu couldn't help but become nervous.
Especially when he saw this sun-chasing armor, which was obviously much more advanced than the exoskeleton armor, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
Powered armor, there are only two words that represent it in the city.
powerful.
Only hunting tigers, people from the Foundation's caravans, and other high-ranking bosses in the refuge would have such equipment.
"It seems that they still underestimate their strength. He actually has a powered armor."
"This is a good thing. The stronger they are, the greater the chance we will survive if we break up with the shelter in the future."
After a quick exchange of ideas with Lao Lu, Liu Lu rubbed his face and forced a smile.
He could also guess the purpose of the other party wearing this armor today.
Not only to show strength, but also to shock.
But fortunately, from the beginning, Liu Lu had no intention of engaging in some mysterious forces like Hu Nong.
So now even if the opponent's strength exceeds imagination, his mentality has not changed much.
"Distinguished Tianyuan Manager, Mr. Sumo, you are here."
"The time is now 4:55. It seems that we are all punctual." Su Mo opened his helmet and smiled calmly: "Come out to trade at this time. It seems that you have found a way to bypass the supervision of Pingtan Shelter.
way?"
"No, no, right now their target is at the harbor shelter, they just didn't notice it."
After hearing the other party's few words and making a guess, Liu Lu's heart skipped a beat, but he forcibly maintained the same expression on his face, vigilantly not leaving any information.
If the other party discovers the opened entrance and exit, he is not worried about using this as a threat.
After all, after killing Jin Dafa that night, we have already left many times more clues than we have now, so it doesn't hurt to have more.
But what is actually worrying is the unintentional words Somo left behind before.
Enter Pingtan Shelter and find relief once and for all.
In principle, this is absolutely not allowed. As long as an outsider is found to have illegally broken in by the monitoring system in the shelter, the person involved will be punished with death.
Now looking at the power armor on his opponent, Liu Lu believed that there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Therefore, we can only cut it off at the source and try to hide this information for as long as possible.
Even if things are forced to go against in the end, there is still room for withdrawal.
However, what surprised Liu Lu was that Su Mo did not delve deeper into this topic.
He just smiled and nodded, then signaled the pickup truck to turn around and open the back bucket.
The cargo inside only filled about half of the truck body, and it was covered with a white tarpaulin.
"This is what you asked for, I brought it."
The moment the tarpaulin was pulled apart, Liu Lu's breath was held.
But when he saw the brand-new and shiny spears under the tarpaulin, his eyes could not help but reveal joy, and his whole body relaxed.
"This is what you want, a total of fifty special products of the Tianyuan tribe, the Wolf Fang Rifle. Although its performance may not be as good as the one you carry on your back, please rest assured that its durability will definitely exceed your imagination. And
We also provide a one-year warranty service, and any problems during the process will be returned or replaced.”
"Can I try it?" Liu Lu walked forward eagerly and smelled it from a distance of one meter.
That's right.
This is the smell of firearms just coming off the production line.
The gun on his back smelled like this when he first got it twelve years ago.
I didn't expect that this strange smell would linger on the tip of my nose again after such a long time.
"Of course, but we don't provide bullets. I want to try it out..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I have it here, I have bullets here!"
After saying this, Liu Lu simply fished out a rifle from the carriage, skillfully found the magazine and pulled it out.
In fact, even though Blue Star has developed hundreds of years longer than Earth, there are still no major changes in the replacement of ordinary firearms, and the simplest and most useful mechanical structure is still used.
After a total of thirty rounds of 7.62 bullets were inserted, Liu Lu suppressed his excitement and pulled the trigger on a piece of gravel in the distance.
Snapped!
At first, he was not used to the huge recoil of the Wolf Fang rifle.
But as the explosions continued one after another, the novel experience brought by the new gun finally exceeded that of the old gun.
At least in terms of accuracy, it has become a matter of hitting where you point it, and you no longer have to endure the errors caused by the old barrel.
"Why, don't you have a gun? Do you still need this thing?"
"This is different." Liu Lu finished shooting a bunch of bullets and shook his slightly stiff shoulders: "Every gun in the shelter has a number. Unless it is used and scrapped, we will not approve and issue a new gun to you.
."
"What if it is lost or damaged intentionally?"
"If you lose it, you will lose the qualification to use the gun forever. In addition, you will have to pay a sky-high damage fee. As for the damage... you may have underestimated the repair ability of Pingtan Shelter. As long as it is not broken into pieces, you can't pick it up.
Those scumbags, those damn engineers are capable of restoring it to the way it was half a year ago."
This was an unexpected answer, and Sumo was a little surprised.
"They don't care about our combat effectiveness at all. Unless a real battle breaks out, this gun will continue to accompany me until I die."
He picked up a few more Wolf Fang rifles and looked at them. Liu Lu had an idea of the level of craftsmanship and manufacturing.
Although the recoil of this gun is indeed a bit high, the accuracy is not as good as the brand-new condition of the Twin A-level rapid-fire rifle on my back.
But I can’t stand other people’s new ideas!
As long as items like this firearm are new, they can ignore many problems to a certain extent.
At least with these fifty guns, Liu Lu has the confidence to further win over his subordinates and give them a little sweetness to cultivate a truly loyal team.
In addition, the necessary supernumerary firepower weapons are also their capital to turn against the Pingtan Shelter.
If the hunting tiger really doesn't intend to abide by the rules, then it will have to rely on these weapons to fight.
From a trader's perspective, just exchanging some cotton and industrial waste is a great deal.
"Where's what I want?"
"They all brought...a total of five hundred kilograms of short-staple cotton, as well as two discarded industrial equipment that were eliminated from the shelter.
One of them uses chemical elements to react to synthesize plastic, and the other is used to recycle waste materials that can be found everywhere and separate the scarce materials inside them."
After saying that, Lao Lu had already led people to push the three trolleys out from the hiding place.
The front one is covered with black cloth, but from the corners, you can see the snow-white fluffy short-staple cotton inside.
The other two devices are not large in size, about the size of a computer mainframe.
"Please forgive me. Although we have found a way to bring things out, we still need to be careful in the short term. Larger industrial waste cannot be brought out for the time being. We will find a way in the future."
Open.
This is another big surprise?!
After hearing Liu Lu's introduction, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Unfortunately, after the other party proposed a deal, I did not make a request first.
Before this trip, he only thought that he could trade cotton from the other party, but he didn't expect that there were actually two pieces of equipment.
Chemical preparation of plastics?
Yes, yes, although this thing is definitely not environmentally friendly, who in the wasteland would pay so much attention to it.
As long as it can be repaired, not to mention how convenient the extended plastic products are, the fact that it can make polyester fiber clothes is enough to make this machine worth no less than 500 kilograms of cotton.
As for the other separation device, this thing is also quite useful.
Producing the rare materials needed for adventurer terminals would be a protracted battle that would take a long time if we only started from minerals.
But if the elements can be directly separated from the found items, the difficulty of gathering the materials will be much reduced.
Sumo looked at him and said happily.
"It seems that finding you as a trading partner is indeed the right choice. My friend, you have brought what Tianyuan Sanctuary needs most!"
Five hundred pounds of cotton is enough to produce more than 100,000 bullets.
This has completely alleviated the current ammunition shortage in the territory, which is enough for the Tianyuan Army to fight a hearty battle, or for the doomsday madman to test new weapons.
"In addition to these five hundred kilograms, we also need more cotton, more industrial materials, and more industrial waste. If you can bring it out, we will definitely pay a price that satisfies you, including weapons, including
Supplies.”
"There should be no surplus cotton for the time being. I have brought out all the inventory in the seven-story warehouse. But for other things, I will try my best."
Because Jin Dafa recklessly misappropriated warehouse materials, neither the supervisors of the refuge nor Hunter Tiger found anything.
After becoming a layer leader, Liu Lu became more courageous.
So what if there is a shortage of supplies? This bad debt has not been settled yet. At worst, it will be blamed on Jin Dafa.
The inspectors cannot find a dead person to ask questions, let alone verify the inventory.
Besides, most of the things that Jin Dazhi stole were used to support the mutants. I'm afraid that bitch like Hunting Tiger turned a blind eye.
Before taking away the cotton, Liu Lu was fully prepared and his mentality was as steady as an old dog.
but...
"In addition, distinguished Tianyuan Manager, I have an additional message to give to your tribe as a thank you for your help in the past few days."
"oh?"
"It's like this. Manager Liu found that you seemed to be very interested in pre-war industry, so I took the time to search for some special places left over from the pre-war era in the western suburbs." Old Lu came out and said softly: "In the western suburbs
To the east, there is an abandoned underground shelter, and there may be a lot of things you need there."
He took out a folded map from his chest pocket and unfolded it.
Starting from where everyone is now, it is about eighteen kilometers away.
A shelter named "Red Core" is listed on it.
"This was the second-ranked shelter in Qinggang City two hundred years ago. It was also a large gathering place with a degree of industrialization not inferior to that of Qinggang Sanctuary. But due to some special reasons, it is now abandoned."
