Chapter 287 Changes in Two Weeks

1:30 pm, Six-Round Revolver Gun Shop.

Chen Ke got off the taxi and looked up at the front door of the gun shop. He felt that something had changed. The gun shop was closed today. After a careful observation, he found that the sign of the gun shop had been removed.

Chen Ke went around to the backyard and saw two black bodyguards standing by the iron gate. A blue van was parked inside, and the double doors of the rear compartment were open.

The black bodyguard recognized Chen Ke, nodded to him, and then made way.

Chen Ke squeezed in through the crack of the iron gate. When he passed the van, he noticed that there was a layer of dust on the outside of the car.

It seems that since the bank robbery, they have stopped all activities and have been in a lurking state.

Chen Ke entered the gun shop from the back door. The platform and shelves in the gun shop were still there, but the hanging guns were put away.

There were many corrugated cardboard boxes piled in the passage. Chen Ke glanced inside and saw that they were all small boxes of bullets. There were also some tin boxes of rifle bullets that were properly placed in the shade.

"Chen Ke!" Pihom just came out of the red door at this time, and greeted Chen Ke after seeing him.

Chen Ke nodded at him and walked over.

"What's wrong with the gun shop? Are you going to close the store?" Chen Ke asked.

Pihom waved his hands, put his hands on his waist, and shook his head.

"This business can't be done. Don't you watch the news recently?" Although Pihom said this, his expression on his face was a little happy.

"I don't watch the news, never." Chen Ke shrugged.

"The United Federation has become a little depressed recently, especially the City of Opportunity. You should have heard that some cities in the Federation have begun to experience strikes and large-scale unemployment." Pihom said.

Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I don't know why it suddenly became like this?"

"I told you before, right? There are foreign forces that are impacting the financial market of the Federation." Pihom said.

"Are you sure it's not the aftermath of the credit crisis in 2008?" Chen Ke asked.

"I don't know much about finance, Chen Ke, but my intuition tells me that this time it will be more intense than last year." Pihom said.

"Let it go, someone above will naturally deal with this problem. No matter how bad it is, it's just a few more cities of opportunity..." Chen Ke did not comment. The economy of this country is none of his business.

"That's the problem, Chen Ke. Half of the psychic companies in Opportunity City have received acquisition invitations, and they seem to be trying to buy back their own stocks." Pihom said.

"There is no unemployment wave here yet, right? How should I put it... What does this have to do with us..." Chen Ke leaned against the empty gun rack and asked.

"This means opportunity! Under pressure from the capital market, those psychic companies have to act more aggressively, and they smuggle more holy diamonds every week." Pihom rubbed his hands.

"I understand... You mean, rob them?" Chen Ke waved his hand.

"We haven't been active for a long time, and the county police don't seem to be investigating bank robberies. The money laundering window has reopened because of the active underground market..." Pihom nodded.

"I think you should have a plan... right?" Chen Ke asked.

"There are several targets that can be taken at present, but no detailed plan has been made yet, because I plan to discuss with you before making a decision." Pihom said with a smile.

"Let's get back to the gun shop... Are you sure you want to close the shop? Without the gun shop as a cover, a group of men are coming in and out of an abandoned hut... You know." Chen Ke said.

"There are no customers at all in the gun shop in the lower city of Opportunity City. Chen Ke, to be honest, in such a long time, only you have come to buy bullets..." Pihom said.

"How is Opportunity City recently? At least I think Lafite Road is quite lively, and there is no unemployment wave now." Chen Ke said.

"Many people have moved away. Lafite Road and Holy Oak may be the only places where people live in the future. To be honest, I am beginning to hate this city. It has become a little cold." Pihom said.

Chen Ke sighed. When he took a taxi to the gun shop just now, he had noticed that the streets of Rolling Iron were even more deserted, and at least 80% of the shops on the street were closed.

Without pillar industries, the land is all covered by spiritual enterprises. In the future, the Opportunity City will become an uninhabited "isolation zone" with black boxes everywhere for these spiritual enterprises to send investigators to obtain holy objects and materials.

However, not only Chen Ke, but also the top leaders of these spiritual enterprises must know what the most valuable things are.

The Great Void. That is what they want to explore. After completing the cycle, they can get loot far more precious than holy objects, but ordinary people may not have the ability to complete the cycle.

"Come on, come down, remember you said you wanted to change the gun before?" Pihom reminded.

Chen Ke certainly remembered that he wanted a pistol with an integrated silencer, so that he would not have to screw it on, remove it, and screw it on again every time he used it. The holster could not fit the pistol with a silencer, it was too long.

"Type 67? Did Priskin help me modify it?" Chen Ke smiled.

"It's very difficult. After all, the gun is too old, and the original gun has many problems. The biggest problem is that the power is too small. I spent a lot of effort on the balance between the silencer effect and the power." Pihom said.

The two walked down the small corridor and came to the familiar safe house. Everything here had changed. Many decorations had been packed up, and the TV on the wall had been removed.

"Are we moving?" Chen Ke couldn't help but ask.

He saw Hall sitting on a stool in the corner playing PSP, so he greeted Hall, and Hall nodded.

"I'm looking for a new place, maybe go south, there are no more opportunities in Opportunity City, Chen Ke." At this time, Priskin walked out of the small house with a small box in his hand.

Chen Ke didn't say anything. He still had things to do here. He hadn't met the grandfather of the S Group yet, so this matter was not over. Even if he didn't have the answer Chen Ke wanted, there must be something else to reveal.

And Diana, she lives in Lafite Road, and she is also an employee of the Administration. It is highly unlikely that she will move away, and there is Sam...

It's rare to meet two friends, and Chen Ke is reluctant to leave this city like this.

"Of course, not so fast, Chen Ke, I haven't said this because we don't know where to go. Unless the Iron Rolling Zone becomes a black box overnight, we will not leave in the near future." Pihom said.

Priskin handed the box to Chen Ke, and it was indeed the modified Type 67 pistol inside.

Just as Pihom said, in order to balance the silencer effect and power and maintain the original length of the gun, this gun has replaced a lot of parts, some of which are even exclusive accessories hand-polished by Priskin.

The whole gun has been replaced with polymer materials, and the originally short grip has also been modified and changed in material and style.

The most eye-catching is the sleeve of the Type 67 pistol, which is also part of the silencer. The original gun was cylindrical, but now it has been changed to a square shape, and the barrel has become thicker than before.

"Now this gun shoots DVC05 subsonic bullets, which is a silencer bullet produced by Feihuang. The effective range is about 150 meters. Of course, the best combat distance is still within 50 meters... Because this gun is for power and silencer, the mid-range accuracy is not very good." Priskin said.

Chen Ke picked up the gun and played with it for a few times. The length is not much different from a full-size Glock 17, but the bullets may be more difficult to supply. That kind of subsonic bullet is not more common than 9mm bullets, and a magazine can only hold 9 rounds at most.

"It may not be suitable for head-on combat, but if you want people to die peacefully, then this is good enough," Chen Ke commented.
