Abandoned Armory

Upon seeing the message, Lin Hui pondered for a moment before replying.

We do have some, but nine bullets aren't enough! Antibiotics are a rare commodity.

In the apocalypse, not everyone has a relatively safe RV like me. If I get injured and the wound becomes infected, I have to use antibiotics.

Without antibiotics, and if the body can't withstand it, death will only come slowly.

[Su Qingqian: Fifteen, that's my limit!]

Lin Hui: No, no...

After some back and forth, Lin Hui used a bottle of antibiotics in exchange for thirty axe gun bullets.

Looking at the bullets in his hand, Lin Hui had a sudden thought: where did the other side get so many axe gun bullets?

So he sent a message.

[Lin Hui: Can I ask you a question? How did you obtain the axe gun bullets? This question is for a fee.]

It took about ten minutes for the other party to reply.

[Su Qingqian: I do know where I can get them. If you have any antibiotics, I can tell you.]

[Lin Hui: This is the last bottle.]

Although antibiotics are not needed now, I am still a normal human being. What if I accidentally get infected in the future? I should keep a bottle for myself.

Who knows if we'll be able to find antibiotics again in the future?

[Lin Hui: However, I can exchange this information for one unit of all-purpose fuel.]

[Su Qingqian: 10 copies.]

[Lin Hui: One unit at most, no more. How would I know if your information is true or false?]

[Su Qingqian: Shady businessman!]

[Su Qingqian: I'm warning you beforehand, that place is very dangerous. Don't blame me if you don't get it or if you die!]

Lin Hui: Don't worry.

[Su Qingqian: I found it in an abandoned arms factory, coordinates "C996 area -87.9, 28.2".]

An abandoned arsenal?

There are places like this?

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat. Why didn't the other party take it for themselves?

What exactly is the danger?

After giving Su Qingqian a portion of all-purpose fuel, he asked for some information and learned that it was actually a zombie den.

There was a level 2 zombie and hundreds of level 1 zombies.

As for how the player named Su Qingqian escaped from that place, the other party did not say.

Lin Hui closed the private chat window with Su Qingqian and fell into deep thought.

First, this information might be false. If it is true, he would be facing a level two zombie, and he doesn't yet know the attributes of a level two zombie, nor whether his RV can handle it.

Secondly, he didn't know if Su Qingqian had sold this information to other players.

If so, it means there are competitors, and the worst-case scenario is facing the top guilds head-on!

Finally, it could also be a trap.

In the apocalypse, monsters are certainly dangerous, but they don't play tricks; players, on the other hand, are far more cunning and impossible to defend against.

Five minutes later.

Lin Hui made a decision.

The coordinates were still more than 300 kilometers away, and he planned to drive there first and then make a decision based on the situation!

after all.

Specialized aerospace steel is hard to come by now. If we don't take a chance, it's hard to say how long it will take to upgrade our RV to Lv3.

The abandoned arsenal has a high probability of having its armor and bulletproof steel removed!

After making a plan in mind.

Lin Hui then opened the regional chat and posted a message about buying grenades, landmines, and other firearms, which could be traded for universal fuel, food, and medicine.

He needs firearms to enhance his combat capabilities.

Shutting down the system, Lin Hui stepped on the gas.

Target: the abandoned arsenal!

......

After driving more than 200 kilometers.

Lin Hui gradually discovered the abandoned building.

What came into view was no longer an endless wasteland.

Fifty kilometers from the abandoned arsenal, there is an abandoned gas station.

The gas pumps had already been pried open and were empty; even the underground oil depot cover had been blown off.

Nourishes—

Lin Hui slowly parked the RV under the roof of the gas station.

Although he had plenty of fuel, the long hours of high-speed driving had put him under immense stress, so he needed to get out for some fresh air and clean up the bits of flesh and bone hanging from the corner of the front of the car.

Along the way, Lin Hui crashed into many zombies.

If the zombie flesh is left hanging, the rotting smell will seep in through the air conditioning vents, affecting your Sanity level.

"Sigh, washing a car is more troublesome than killing zombies."

Lin Hui, carrying a bucket of water and a brush, jumped out of the car and began washing the menacing alloy spiked ram.

Dark red blood flowed down the drainage ditch.

Just then, the silence was broken by the sputtering sound of an engine.

A Wuling Hongguang van, covered in rust and belching black smoke, wobbled in.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged balding man stepped out.

He was wearing a gray jacket stained with oil, and he was thin with sunken eyes, looking every bit the shrewd, calculating petty bourgeois.

When this man saw Lin Hui's imposing black RV, which resembled a fortress, his eyes shone with a light that seemed even brighter than when he saw his own father.

"Wow! Boss! You really are a boss!"

The balding man rubbed his hands together and jogged over, his face plastered with a fawning smile; his wrinkles could trap flies.

"This vehicle... wow, it's so imposing! It must weigh several tons, right? A zombie would be turned into mincemeat if it crashed into it!"

Lin Hui didn't stop what he was doing; he just glanced at him coldly and continued scrubbing the rotten flesh off the spikes.

Seeing that Lin Hui ignored him, the balding man was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he moved even closer and even tried to reach out and touch the shiny black armor.

"Don't move."

Lin Hui's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling quality that sent shivers down one's spine.

The balding man's hand froze in mid-air, and he awkwardly withdrew it.

"Hehe, young man, don't get me wrong, I just really admire your car. Um... sir, do you need any extra people for this car?"

He pointed to himself and earnestly promoted his product:

"My name is Wang Gou. I worked as a chef for a few years! I cook really well! And I also know a little about car repair, like changing oil and patching tires!"

"You must be exhausted driving alone. Please take me with you! I eat little but work a lot. As long as you'll give me a meal, I'll even sleep on the floor!"

As Wang Gou spoke, he secretly glanced at the half-open door of the RV out of the corner of his eye.

The comfortable, constant temperature environment inside, and the faint scent of air freshener wafting through the air, thrilled him.

Then I think about my own Wuling Hongguang, which leaks air, has no heating, and is as hard as a rock...

As long as you can latch onto this powerful figure, you'll be living a comfortable life!

Lin Hui stopped what he was doing.

He turned around and looked down at the smiling middle-aged man.

If you were an average player, you might actually be moved.

But Lin Hui, who had been working in society since childhood, knew very well.

This kind of person is glib and dishonest.

"You can fix cars?" Lin Hui pointed to his tires with a half-smile. "Then can you tell what kind of tires these are?"

Wang Gou paused for a moment, looked at the four tires gleaming with a dark gold light, and stammered, "These...these are high-grade run-flat tires, right?"

"Oh."

Lin Hui sneered and splashed the dirty water in his hand on the ground.

You are of no value to me.

"roll."

In short, it's simple, direct, and leaves no room for compromise.

Wang Gou's smile froze instantly.

He never expected this young man to be so heartless, not even giving him the slightest chance.

"Young man... don't be like that, having more friends means having more options..."

Click.

Lin Hui immediately drew the axe-gun from his waist.

"I don't lack friends, I just need targets. Want to give it a try?"

Wang Gou shuddered, a flash of resentment disappearing from his eyes.

"Fine...fine! You're awesome! I won't bother you anymore!"

He gritted his teeth, slunk back into his Wuling Hongguang, stepped on the gas, and fled the gas station in a cloud of black smoke.

Watching the wrecked car drive away, Lin Hui put away his gun, not paying much attention.

This kind of incident is all too common on the road.

But what he didn't know was that after driving two kilometers, Wang Gou parked the car behind a secluded earthen slope.

"Pah! What a piece of trash! So what if he got lucky and got a campervan? What's he so smug about!"

Wang Gou slammed his fist on the steering wheel, his face now devoid of the smile and fawning from before, replaced only by a ferocious hatred.

"You're not taking me... Fine, you want to keep it all to yourself? I'll make you spit it out!"

He narrowed his eyes, opened the [World Channel], found a member of the [Wolf Guild], and sent a private message.

[Wang Gou: I want to report this! I've found a big fat sheep!]

A few seconds later, the other party replied.

[Guo Yong: What kind of trash is he?]

[Wang Gou: A black, heavily armored RV! It should be Level 3! There's only one owner! The RV is packed with supplies; I saw it, it's overflowing!]

[Wang Gou: Coordinates C996 area -87.3, 28.9, near a gas station.]

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

[Guo Yong: Alone? A heavily equipped RV? Are you sure?]

[Wang Gou: Absolutely true! I just saw it with my own eyes! That car was ridiculously tough, even the tires were glowing! As long as you take it down, just leave me a little bit of the broth! I want five... no, ten portions of all-purpose fuel!]

[Guo Yong: Deal. Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away. If it's true, I'll reward you with ten portions of all-purpose fuel.]

Looking at the reply on the screen, Wang Gou revealed a cruel and gleeful smile.

"Kid, you dare look down on me? I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!"
