Chapter 964 New Commission, the Western Suburbs Is Indeed a Treasure Trove!

"Load our goods and set off!"

In order to carry more scavengers to explore the surrounding areas of the territory, the engineering version of the energy machine previously installed on the climbing vehicle has been dismantled and applied to the first generation of test models.

This is the first order issued by Su Mo to the Dream Refining Steel Plant in the name of the underground city.

The goal is to create a short-distance transportation tool that can carry more than five tons of goods or about twenty people.

As the factory director, Mala Tiechui has proved that as long as the comfort level is not considered, there is basically no difficulty in the entire manufacturing process.

The materials for making the car are refined, rolled into a frame, and then combined together by strong welding.

This pickup truck with a length of about seven meters and a width of two meters, with a large cargo bucket on the back, was successfully created.

When goods need to be transported on weekdays, the things are stuffed in the back.

When people need to be pulled at critical times, they can squeeze in the back bucket. Not to mention twenty people, even thirty people are not a problem.

Considering that this thing doesn't care about comfort at all, not only is there no seat installed for lightweight design, but the chassis can't even compare to the simplest flatbed truck suspension.

Su Mo chose to ride an off-road motorcycle very straightforwardly, and followed the left side of this first-generation energy stone pickup to the transaction location.

Unlike the last sneaky transaction between the two sides, this time Liu Lu deliberately chose the transaction time at 5 pm.

During this period, the sky was still a little dark under the influence of fog, but it was finally less gloomy.

Even when it was far away from 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 could not be described in words.

"It's really a miracle. Only games have such ability to pull a city here."

The doomsday madman sitting in the front row widened his eyes and couldn't help muttering.

Seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it from the scavenger team are completely different things.

The giant mutant rats and mutant cockroaches that fled in panic from the sewers.

Those two- or three-story buildings that were full of traces of time and only had broken walls left.

The slippery ground with mottled biomass mixed in it.

And the tall buildings hidden in the mist behind.

The twelve Tianyuan soldiers accompanying them also stared with their eyes wide open, and their stiff eyes were gradually replaced by strong shock.

Damn

This is the Qinggang City that has been discussed fiercely in the chat channel these days? !

Good guy, no wonder the lord suddenly wants to implement a breeding plan and increase investment in territory defense and military.

Anyone who sees this huge city that is so vast that it is hard to compare will feel a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

He took a deep breath of the humid air coming from the car window, and the unique smell was like a city that was damp after rain.

Driving in such a city lane, the Tianyuan soldier in charge of driving was very focused.

The pickup truck stopped and started, along the remote streets, heading to the designated trading location.

Perhaps because Darren had cleared the entire western suburbs in the past two days, there was no danger along the way.

Near the ruins of the previous night talk, there was a place that might have been used for pre-mixing of building materials.

Almost as soon as the pickup truck drove in from the abandoned gate, Liu Lu came out from a hidden corner, followed by five familiar faces who came with him last time.

The two sides met from a distance, and their relationship had improved greatly compared to the last time.

However, when Su Mo drove in from behind on a motorcycle, Liu Lu couldn't help but get nervous.

Especially when he saw this Sun Chaser armor that was obviously much more advanced than the exoskeleton armor, his expression couldn't help but bring a touch of awe.

Power armor, this only represents two words in the city.

Powerful.

Only the Hunting Tiger, the people of the Foundation Caravan, and the big guys in other shelters have such equipment.

"It seems that I still underestimated their strength. He actually has a power armor."

"This is a good thing. The stronger they are, the greater the possibility that we will survive after the fight 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 guess the purpose of the other party wearing this armor today.

It is to show strength and to deter.

But fortunately, from the beginning, Liu Lu did not intend to do something nonsense to fool this mysterious force.

So now even if the other party's strength is beyond imagination, his mentality has not changed much.

"Respected Tianyuan Administrator, Mr. Su Mo, you are here."

"The time is now 4:55, it seems that we are all very punctual." Su Mo opened his helmet and smiled faintly: "You came out to trade at this time, it seems that you have found a way to bypass the monitoring of Pingtan Shelter?"

"No, no, now their target is on the harbor shelter, but they didn't notice it."

Hearing that the other party guessed a general idea in a few words, Liu Lu's heart jumped, but his face forced to maintain the previous expression, vigilantly not leaving any information.

If the other party found the entrance and exit, he would not worry that he would use this to threaten.

After all, after getting rid of Jin Dafa that night, he had left many times more handles than now, and it would not matter if he had more.

What actually made people worry was the unintentional words that Su Mo had left before.

Enter Pingtan Shelter, once and for all.

In principle, this is absolutely not allowed. As long as the monitoring system in the shelter finds that an outsider has illegally entered, the person involved will be executed.

Now looking at the power armor on the other party, Liu Lu believes that he has no way to stop it.

Therefore, he can only cut it off at the source and try to hide this information for a longer time.

Even if it is inevitable in the end, there is room to retreat.

However, what surprised Liu Lu was that Su Mo did not go into this topic.

He just nodded with a smile and signaled the pickup truck to turn the front and open the back box.

The goods inside only filled about half of the truck box, covered with a layer of white tarpaulin.

"This is what you want, I brought it."

The moment the tarpaulin was pulled open, Liu Lu held his breath.

But when he saw the brand new and shiny spears under the tarpaulin, his eyes still couldn't help but reveal joy, and the whole person relaxed.

"This is what you want, a total of fifty wolf tooth rifles, a specialty of the Tianyuan tribe. 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 that arise during this process are refundable."

"Can I try it?" Liu Lu walked forward greedily and sniffed the smell from a distance of one meter.

That's right.

This is the fragrance of the gun just produced from the production line.

The gun on his back had this smell when he just got it twelve years ago.

I didn't expect that after such a long time, this strange smell would linger on the tip of my nose again.

"Of course, but we don't provide bullets. I want to try it."

"It's okay, I have it here, I have bullets here!"

Throwing down this sentence, Liu Lu simply took out a rifle from the truck bed and skillfully found the magazine and pulled it out.

In fact, although Blue Star has developed for hundreds of years longer than Earth, there are still no major changes in the replacement of ordinary firearms, and the simplest and most practical mechanical structure is still used.

After inserting a total of thirty 62 bullets, Liu Lu suppressed his excitement and pulled the trigger at a piece of gravel in the distance.

Bang!

At first, he was a little uncomfortable with the huge recoil of the Wolf Fang rifle.

But with the continuous explosions, the novel experience brought by the new gun finally exceeded the old gun.

At least in terms of accuracy, it has become a point-and-shoot, and there is no need to endure the error caused by the old barrel.

"Why, don't you have guns? Why do you need this thing?"

"It's different." Liu Lu finished firing a burst 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 you a new gun."

"What if it is lost or deliberately damaged?"

"If it is lost, you will lose the qualification to use the gun forever, and you will have to pay a huge loss fee. As for the damage, you may have underestimated the maintenance ability of the Pingtan Shelter. As long as it is not broken into pieces that cannot be picked up, those damn engineers are capable of restoring it to the state it was half a year ago."

This is an unexpected answer, and Su Mo is a little surprised.

"They don't care about our combat effectiveness at all. Unless a real battle breaks out, this gun will accompany me in the future until I die."

Picked up a few more wolf tooth rifles and looked at them. Liu Lu had an idea of ​​the craftsmanship and manufacturing level.

Although the recoil of this gun is indeed a bit large, the accuracy is not as good as the brand new state of the twin A-level rapid-fire rifle on his back.

But they are new!

As long as the guns are new, many problems can be ignored to a certain extent.

At least with these fifty guns, Liu Lu has the confidence to further win over his subordinates and give them some sweet treats to cultivate a truly loyal team.

In addition, the necessary non-staff firepower weapons are also the capital for them to turn against the Pingtan Shelter.

If the Tiger Hunter really doesn't intend to abide by the rules at that time, then they can only rely on these weapons to fight.

From the perspective of traders, it is extremely cost-effective to exchange only some cotton and industrial waste.

"Where are the things I want?"

"I brought a total of 500 kilograms of short-staple cotton and two abandoned industrial equipment that were eliminated by the shelter.

One of them uses chemical elements to react and synthesize plastics, and the other is used to recycle waste materials that can be found everywhere and separate the scarce materials inside."

After speaking, Lao Lu had already led people to push three carts out from the hidden place.

The front one was covered with black cloth, but the snow-white fluffy short-staple cotton inside could be seen from the corners.

The other two devices were not large in size, about the size of a computer mainframe.

"Please forgive me, although we have found a way to bring the things out, we still need to be careful in the short term. Large industrial waste cannot be brought out for the time being. We will find a way later."

Wow.

This is another big surprise? !

Hearing Liu Lu's introduction, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, after the other party proposed the transaction, he didn't 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 two more devices.

Chemical preparation of plastics?

Not bad, not bad. Although this thing is definitely not environmentally friendly, who would care so much in the wasteland?

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 equipment, this thing is also very useful.

If you only start from minerals to produce the rare materials needed for the adventurer terminal, it will be a long-term battle that takes a long time.

But if you can directly separate the elements from the found items, the difficulty of gathering the materials will be much lower.

Su Mo looked at him and said with relief.

"It seems that finding you as a trading partner is indeed the right choice, my friend, you brought what Tianyuan Shelter needs most!"

Five hundred kilograms of cotton are enough to produce more than 100,000 bullets.

This has completely alleviated the current shortage of bullets in the territory, enough for the Tianyuan Army to fight a hearty battle, or for the doomsday madman to let go and test new weapons.

"In addition to these 500 kilograms, we need more cotton, more industrial materials, and more industrial waste. If you can bring them out, we will definitely pay a price that satisfies you, including weapons and supplies."

"There should be no cotton left for the time being. I have brought out all the inventory in the seventh-floor warehouse. But I will do my best for the other things."

Because Jin Dafa recklessly misappropriated the warehouse supplies, the supervisors and Hunter Tiger of the shelter did not find anything.

After becoming the floor leader, Liu Lu became bolder.

So what if there is a shortage of supplies? This bad debt has not been settled yet. At most, it can be pushed to Jin Dafa.

The supervisor can't find a dead person to ask questions, let alone verify the inventory.

Besides, the things that Jin Dazhi took away were most likely used to support the mutants. I'm afraid that Hunter Tiger, the dog, turned a blind eye.

Before taking the cotton away, Liu Lu had already made full preparations and his mentality was as steady as an old dog.

However

"In addition, honorable Tianyuan administrator, I have an extra message for your tribe, as a thank you for your help a few days ago."

"Oh?"

"It's like this, Liu Cengzhang found that you seemed to be very interested in pre-war industry, so I took the time to look for some special places left over from the pre-war era in the western suburbs." Lao Lu came out and whispered: "There is an abandoned underground shelter to the east of the western suburbs, and there may be a lot of things you need there."

Taking out a folded map from his chest pocket, Lao Lu unfolded it.

Starting from the current location of everyone, about 18 kilometers away.

A shelter named "Red Core" is listed on it.

"This was the second-ranked shelter in Qinggang City two hundred years ago, and it was also a large gathering place with an industrialization level not inferior to Qinggang Shelter. But for some special reasons, it is now abandoned."
