After Luo Ling left the Binhe Road base, he followed the river eastward, hunted some more monsters, and then headed to Shilipu.
Shilipu is an old place name. It is located in the east-south of the old city of Guang'an, exactly ten miles away from the original boundary of the old city - Donghetrough, hence its name.
The Shilipu base is a new base, jointly built by companies. Its characteristic is that it is a highly open and free trading place, so it is very iconic. It can be said that there is a real mixture of ghosts and ghosts here. No one knows what the person standing next to him looks like.
Could this harmless uncle be a headhunter who specializes in robbing and killing demon hunters, or maybe he's a demon dog who works with high-level monsters?
No one dared to open such a stall before. Without the backing of tyrannical force and the destruction of an army of monsters, even those copycat-style or gang-style bases that sent people to harass three times a day would definitely not be able to bear it. It is said that Shilipu was just opened.
Son, there are indeed people or monsters who are not afraid of death. They are not afraid of death. Very good. The guards at Shilipu base made it impossible for them to die. There have been more than thirty battles, large and small. In many places outside Shilipu, snow
They are all red or blue.
There is no trading place that requires identification. This kind of place is simply an open black market, which is too attractive to Luo Ling. The rest he goes to other bases to ship and shop, using pseudonyms and disguises, and buying things in limited quantities. Shilipu
There are no such problems, there are only safety issues, but this is not a problem for Luo Ling. This is not a dreamland of meteors. Unless there are lord-level figures sitting in charge or ndo Shalu, Baosi-level figures setting up a dragnet, otherwise there will be a fight.
However, escaping is still not a problem. Although the crisis is approaching step by step, Luo Ling thinks that he is not yet ready for others to make such a big effort to receive him, not to mention that he came wearing makeup.
In Luo Ling's view, the construction of the Shilipu base is very unique, like an international airport with avant-garde design.
The core of the base is a pie-shaped building with a diameter of about 1 kilometer, with two floors on the ground and three floors underground. It has a frame structure, an alloy armor shell on the ground, and a firepower point inside, like a super bunker.
With the core dot as the center and a radius of 800 meters away, there is a circle of trapezoidal buildings. One side of the big head is the entrance, which is buried diagonally in the soil. At first glance, it looks like a large funnel with more than half of it buried. It is all metal.
Silvery white, with twelve circles, looking from the sky, it looks like the scale of a watch.
From the outside, the trading market didn't look too lively. It was about 10 a.m. when Luo Ling arrived, and he didn't see any merchants like him.
"This is understandable. After all, the underground lines leading to the base network in the old city have not yet been completed. And reaching it from the surface is not like going to the market in the past and just setting up a donkey cart." Luo Ling thought while thinking.
Looking around, he saw the sold models of 'Romeo' and 'Juliet', and a sniper patrol with snowmobiles. The worst member of the team was a first-level fireman, and the leader was a second-level gunner.
Gun Samurai, obviously, there are no rookies here.
There was a three-plane formation in the sky conducting flight practice. It was not an ordinary aircraft, but a transformable fighter plane. Although the effect was only close to the semi-transformation of the fighter plane in "Macross 1", it was enough to make Luo Ling stand and watch.
For a long time.
"Magic + technology, the production capacity is amazing! How long has it been before this kind of multi-purpose weapon has entered the use stage?" Luo Ling originally thought that he would see the type of mecha in "Front Mission" first, and then
For this type of flying mecha, I didn’t expect that a certain company would directly complete the triple jump and launch such a sci-fi product. “What is this? A ninth-generation fighter jet?”
"How about it, Lord Death, if your home is big enough, you might as well buy one for entertainment. They are sold in the base." The guards with live ammunition at the entrance of the base did not raise their heads to the sky. On the contrary, one of them raised his head from the armor.
The man who seemed to be the captain took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Luo Ling, who was walking towards him. His words were humorous and respectful.
Of course, Luo Ling would not think that the other party's service attitude was 100% good. They were just more 'duty' and knew how to respect their strength.
"Sometimes I think that being alive is such a lucky thing. At least five years ago, I never expected to see this scene in my lifetime." Luo Ling pointed to an empty mecha that was transforming and landing.
explain.
"Who says it's not? We have all traveled through time and space to a strange world that combines science fiction and magic." The captain agreed with a smile, and a card was swiped out from the instrument beside him. The captain handed it to Luo Ling with both hands, "
Please take your temporary visitor card, which is convenient for you to conduct transactions and other matters. Accumulated points can also be exchanged for different levels of VIP cards that can be used for shopping discounts. Welcome to Shilipu Store."
"You don't need to tip here, right?" Luo Ling asked jokingly.
"It's our honor to have you here." The captain may have a background as a senior waiter, and his words made him sound very arrogant.
Following the artificial marble ramp steps, Luo Ling walked all the way inward. At the end of the steps, there was an all-metal passage, brightly lit. Its luxury and avant-garde reminded Luo Ling of the airport's underground research base. "A very favorite base.
, it’s a pity that it was ruined.”
There is an open space on the side of the road, which is neatly lined up with scooters. The scooters are like the pedal unicycles played by children in the past. They have a T-shaped steering handle, three wheels, and are driven by magic energy.
, a very convenient transportation tool.
When Luo Ling was riding his bicycle, the captain who took the initiative to chat with Luo Ling was already reporting to the main station: "Second-level Demon Blade Intermediate, preliminary assessment of combat power is 1700+, first visit..."
There is no doubt that the company's joint establishment of this store has the purpose of further sorting out and integrating various forces and scattered combat forces in the Guang'an area. Just like the role of Naadam and other exchange meetings for herdsmen, for those who are interested in becoming the ruler of this area,
He needs to be concerned about what kind of people live under his jurisdiction. Those who can be used, those who need to be suppressed, and those who need to be dealt with can all start from this store and treat them in categories. This is the management policy of idle households.
.
Luo Ling can also understand the intentions of some companies to join forces. This kind of business strategy is no longer a two-pronged approach, but a multi-pronged approach. While eliminating the threats of various hostile forces to the Guang'an area, various measures are taken to actively rectify the place, from the population
to public security, from groups to individual households, and to further strengthen economic control, thereby comprehensively strangulating the lifeline of survivors. In the end, I am afraid that we will take the initiative to clean up the "nail households".
Obviously, he, Luo Ling, is a typical example of a stubborn household. However, Luo Ling feels that he does not need to curb this development trend, because, whether in terms of time or power, he does not have the ability to engage in normal feudal hegemony.
This was decided from the very beginning. It was definitely a strategic mistake for him to waste time fighting with other people's soldiers and generals. 'Beheading' was his only option, to improve his strength until he could snipe the person standing at the top of the pyramid.
, and then get rid of them, this is Luo Ling's core plan. Before he has such strength, he doesn't mind whether he is a wandering lawless element or the leader of an extremist organization like Al Qaeda.
At the end of the more than 200-meter-long underground passage is the underground floor of the Shilipu base. Modular shops are located on the outer circle of the circular base. The central area is a vertical passage and a series of basic functional facilities and service facilities. Such as security.
Guards, banks, law firms, etc.
Of course, the first thing Luo Ling entered was the magic energy dissociation room, which was isolated by a light curtain. The operation was completed in three minutes. The large wall-mounted screens on the left and right sides of the dissociation room had shopping guides and other content repeatedly shown. The design was user-friendly, and it was completely like a comprehensive store.
mode.
After officially entering the base, Luo Ling went straight to the service desk in the central area. As a first-time visitor, the service desk was the best choice to fully understand the store information. Luo Ling was still waiting for the rice to be cooked at home, so Luo Ling did not have the leisure to go shopping in the store.
The interior of the store is as luxurious as Luo Ling expected. In the past, banks were generally decorated with high-end decoration, but now, it is companies. What's more, the use of mana, a new type of efficient energy, has made energy shortages and other problems non-existent in this era.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the fluorescent lamps installed here are not fluorescent tubes, but whole fluorescent panels, so that the brightness is not inferior to that of the outdoors under direct sunlight at noon.
The walls and floors are also products of the new era - metallic glass. As you can see from the name, it has excellent smoothness and color, but its essence is a clay product that has been treated with earth magic. Using such materials
The decorated space can no longer be described as clean, gorgeous, and magnificent. It is like a crystal palace in the future era. Under the illumination of the ceiling light source, it is so bright that you can't wait to take a bite.
Corresponding to this magnificence is an invisible coercion of luxury, making everyone who comes in feel as if they are a beggar, as if they are wearing street clothes to attend the world's top auto show.
Obviously, when the company jointly built this place, it not only meant to show off its wealth and strength, but also intentionally created a condescending and overwhelming atmosphere, including the decoration of the shops, the products sold, and the clothing and spirit of all kinds of staff.
The appearance is all based on this principle. The security team members are tall and handsome, the employees of banks and law firms all look smart and capable, standard social elites, service girls, and shopping guide girls. Their beauty and temperament are exactly like those of first-class international flights in the past.
The stewardess is back and even better.
However, to Luo Ling, all the 'gorgeous shows' here are just a pot of flowers blooming well and paintings with good artistic conception. From the beginning to the end, his eyes are so indifferent, calm, and arrogant.
They are restrained, reserved, deep and unshakable. Unlike the employees here, their kindness and respect come from the system. At most, they are just acquired qualities, unlike Luo Ling's, who are essentially born from extreme self-confidence.
The pride that arises is completely different.
Therefore, no one dared to look down upon Luo Ling's calmness, calmness, and experience in understanding people, even if the set of homemade handmade products on Luo Ling's body seemed to be a bit cheap.
While Luo Ling was consulting at the service desk, a very familiar scene was being shown in a room in the base.
"What do you think?" The person asking was an old man in his seventies. His skin exposed to the air was dry and lackluster, just like the bark of a dead tree. The straight high-end military uniform further highlighted his twilight appearance.
The subject of the old man's inquiry was a young man, with a youthful appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin and light velvet beard on his lips and chin, but the look in his bright eyes when they turned was more aged than the old man's eyes. The young man
I was sipping a cup of green tea as thick as soup when I heard the old man ask and smiled: "If I am going to order someone to find an opportunity to kill him, will you say that I have no tolerance for others?"
"No!" the old man denied, "I would say you specialize in violence."
"That's right! A very dynamic choice, isn't it?" The young man smiled excitedly.
After thinking for a moment, the old man also smiled, "Who says it's not?"...
After thinking that he could barter here without any obstacles, Luo Ling went directly to the material exchange. The exchange here only has the 'official' one, and the receiving price is 5% lower than that of other survivor bases.
percentage point, what is redeemed is not palladium, but points. Even so, this store is still the most attractive in Guang'an area, because the goods here are obviously a higher level than those outside. Even if the buyer's guest level is high enough
If so, you can also see some more advanced and high-end rare items.
A strong man like Luo Ling has already left the "low-level taste" stage of high-precision weapons. What he pays most attention to is materials, followed by living materials and tools. But if he comes for a large purchase, he will change his identity.
, at the very least, the VIP card issued to him by Budweiser, which offers discounts in any company's jointly owned industries, would allow him to move up from the lower consumer groups without having to waste points here. Luo Ling was just here to buy some.
There are enough daily necessities for the family for a period of time, mainly food. Because of this, the materials he provided to the exchange were not outstanding. The materials he picked up on the way when he came in the morning, and a very small part of them after using stimulant to 'fattening'
Mutated materials obtained by killing them.
The price teller was an experienced appraisal expert, male. While setting the purchase price for that part of the mutant material, he looked at Luo Ling a few more times. "Sir, I would like to ask, does anyone recommend you to participate in an advanced hunting adventure?"
"No."
"With your luck and strength, you are very suitable to participate in such an event. Not only can you get a large amount of extra income, but you can also upgrade the guest level. It will also help to increase your reputation."
"Sounds very good." Luo Ling said smoothly.
"You can get detailed information at the competitive activity center on the 2nd floor of Building B."
The two of them were bargaining and chatting when Luo Ling heard a sweet child's voice coming to mind at the price counter next door, "Sister, I want to sell materials in exchange for points."
With Luo Ling's determination, he still couldn't help but tremble for a second after hearing this voice. This voice was so unforgettable that the most passive and miserable confrontation since he woke up was with this voice.
There is a direct relationship with the master.
Luo Ling did not hide his surprise. He thought it was normal to be surprised. No matter who met a twelve or thirteen-year-old loli demon hunter, they would be surprised.
Delicate and beautiful face, pink skin, long black hair, thick and curved eyelashes, sweet smile... That's right, he is Tuanzi, a strong man who follows the blood path of the devil, a very unstable little pervert...
"What a cute little girl!"
"What a beautiful little girl!"
"Who did you come with? My little sister?"...
Almost everyone in the exchange was full of affection for this doll-like girl in a pink princess dress, and several of the women were the most fond of her.
Tuanzi, who was pushing the scooter, looked as bright as a child star. She tilted her little head and smiled, "I want to sell things, I want to buy delicious food." As she said this, she patted the small red leather bag she was carrying.
The leather bag is in the shape of a cartoon pig. It looks like a candy bag and is no bigger than a lunch box.
Most people in the exchange smiled at Tuanzi's innocent cuteness. Such a little girl, I don't know whose family's little princess, must have been spoiled, so she asked her parents for some materials.
It’s like playing house here.
Luo Ling, who knew Tuanzi's temperament well, thought to himself: "Judge people by their appearance. If you laugh, you may not be able to cry in a while."
"Please hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Luo Ling said to the price teller.
"Okay, sir!"
Tuanzi glanced at Luo Ling and said, "Brother, don't you think I'm cute?"
Luo Ling cursed in his heart, "Fuck!" With everyone in the exchange attracted by Tuanzi, his behavior seemed a lot more eye-catching.
Luo Ling turned around, smiled and bowed to Tuanzi, "Of course it's cute, but I'm even more shocked by your strength. It's my honor to meet a strong man like you. I'm still waiting for rice to be cooked at home.
Here to sell food."
Some people in the exchange smiled foolishly. They thought Luo Ling was playing with Tuanzi and deliberately cooperated with what he said, while another person
