There is a boss who dominates here and controls a large amount of rare resources in the core area.
There are also various scav groups wandering around the edges of shopping malls, looking for treasures and secrets that may be unearthed.
There is also a bold and powerful scav team that occupies some areas of the shopping mall and becomes neighbors with the big boss, and occasionally robs and steals supplies in the big boss's warehouse.
The internal struggle in the shopping mall is as exciting as a blockbuster movie, and the external excitement is even better.
Because there is a large amount of first-hand supplies here, which were saved before the Tarkov blockade. Unlike the trading stations outside, which are basically second-hand goods.
First-hand goods are more popular and useful, so this place has become a lively "trade center".
Businessmen of Wheat Head's level will come to "buy goods", scav teams with a little money and scale will come, pmc teams will come, and rich lone wolves will come too.
Ragman, the boss who occupies this place, has undoubtedly become one of Tarkov's ceilings.
According to Gorky's description...
Ragman is an Italian businessman, everyone likes to call him Clothier.
Before the blockade, he was the legal representative of Mega. He has been running this place for many years and is the legitimate boss here.
After the city was completely blocked and fell into riots, Ragman relied on his identity as a shopping mall owner to stand up in time.
He summoned all the security personnel of the original mall, as well as the merchants in the mall who wanted to protect their stores, and forcibly purchased all the gun stores in the mall, taking the weapons directors inside into their own hands.
There are guns! There is money! There are people! There are rights!
No surprises!
Ragman quickly took control of the shopping mall, sealed off all the warehouses, and became the biggest "king" in this place.
Because he controlled a large number of warehouses, this boss, nicknamed the Clothing Merchant, started a business of buying and selling everything.
Until later, Tarkov was completely in chaos, and everyone joined the ranks of smashing, smashing, and looting in order to survive. A large number of thugs began to target Mega, the largest shopping mall in Tarkov.
No matter how many people the clothing dealer has, he can't withstand the endless stream of thugs.
The less important blue zone had to be abandoned.
Here are all things like furniture decoration. Leather sofas and mahogany furniture were once enviable, but now they are worthless in this blocked city.
At the same time, the less important Green Zone was abandoned.
This is the tool, hardware and electrical appliance section of the supermarket. No matter how useful these electrical equipment were in the past, they have now become a pile of scrap metal.
Because Takov has been completely cut off from water and electricity since a week before the blockade.
An Apple computer without power is not as useful as a piece of bread.
Ragman only retained the self-selected supermarket that is the most important in the middle, which also covers the largest area and has more urgently needed supplies.
Everything to eat, drink, use, and wear is all concentrated in this area.
In a world of lockdown, this is paradise.
The most important thing is that the entrances to most warehouses in shopping malls are located in the basement below the red zone. Controlling the red zone means controlling most of the warehouses.
Under Ragman's decisive strength, he concentrated all his efforts on defending a red zone, and he successfully defended it in the end.
And relying on the useful red zone where he can eat and drink, he has secured his current position in Tarkov.
He became a big businessman with the most prosperous business and the most comfortable life.
Wherever there is business, there is always chaos.
There is chaos inside shopping malls, and of course there is chaos outside.
A large number of teams coming in and out of Mega, whether entering or exiting, will bring a lot of goods or money with them. Each one of them is equivalent to a fat sheep.
In this world without order and law, groups of fat sheep just walked through the hungry people, and a new group was naturally born——
robber!
The robbers do not have a fixed group, and their true identities are very complicated. They may be from a radical scav gang, or from the pmc, or even some robbers were once "cops."
No matter what their previous identities were, now they can only become bandits in order to survive.
A large number of individuals or teams of robbers roam around the shopping center all day and night, specifically targeting the "customers" who enter and exit the shopping mall.
As long as they find a suitable opportunity, they will swarm out of the darkness and snatch all their prey.
The mall is chaotic inside and even more chaotic outside.
Anyway...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with describing it as a mixture of fish and dragons, a gathering of ghosts and monsters, and dangers everywhere. If you are not an old fox, don't come near it.
If the goods picked up this time are not heavy, one person can easily take them back. If you bring too many people to pick them up, there is a high probability that the robbers will think that they have something good, and thus be targeted by more robbers. This will be counterproductive
More dangerous.
In addition, Tarkov has become increasingly chaotic recently, and the outsiders who continue to come in are constantly at war with the PMC, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of patients on the doctor's side.
It is very difficult to apply for gunman protection to pick up such a small amount of supplies.
Messenger Gorky will definitely not call for a dragon war, but will bring a dozen or twenty gunmen to protect him so that the robbers near the shopping mall will not dare to have any greed.
With the rough information about the place he was going on this trip, Long Zhan was basically confident.
Less stress too!
It’s not that Long Zhan is arrogant because of his strong self-esteem. As long as he doesn’t have a professional PMC team and gunners, Long Zhan really doesn’t have much pressure.
Whether it's the clothing merchants who have taken over the mall or the robbers who are blocking roads and robberies around them, they are all scavs that are forced to carry guns by ordinary people in order to survive. They have no professional skills at all, and their combat effectiveness is not much higher.
Long Zhan is confident that as long as he remains cautious, there won't be any big problems on this trip.
after an hour.
Long Zhan and Gorky left the neighborhood and entered the suburbs, walking along the road filled with abandoned vehicles and continuing to think about the overpass in the southern suburbs.
The mega shopping mall is not far from the overpass. As long as you reach the overpass, you can see the mall.
It's getting darker.
But it doesn't affect the journey.
Long Zhan doesn't even need to use his helmet's night vision goggles. He can walk normally with the dim moonlight and can even avoid small iron nails on the ground.
Gorky's speed is no slower than Long Zhan. It seems that after living in Tarkov for several years, those who have survived have evolved their night vision abilities.
This is the way to go.
Another half hour.
At early 10 o'clock in the evening, a winding black belt appeared in Long Zhan's field of vision. From a distance, it looked like a snake rising from the ground.
"We'll be there soon, less than 1 kilometer away."
Gorky stood there and looked at the overpass. The target was right in front of him. His expression became more vigilant, and he even took the gun he had been carrying on his back into his hand.
"Kacha~"
Load the gun and unlock the safety.
Gorky looked serious and warned: "The last section of the road is the most dangerous. I like to call it the 1 kilometer of death. I hope we are lucky enough today."
