Chapter 6, Do you have a gun
If he were a person with an overflowing sense of compassion, he would have agreed when it was previously mentioned to band together for warmth, and there would have been none of the subsequent content. Xia Ming would have received a bodyguard for free without having to give anything in return
He thought to himself, with such a big boss and a federal system, even in the gun-restricted Huaxia region, the likelihood of having a gun would still be quite high
The appearance of the opponent wielding a hammer in one hand and a machete in the other left the young boss feeling a sense of surprise: who exactly is this person
However, I did not expect that this person was actually the one who bought that bracelet at the auction earlier
Su Chen merely glanced at the gold bar, then silently continued to close the door
Ah?" Xia Ming was slightly taken aback
Su Chen immediately shook his head: "No need."
Of course, this is not absolute, unless the other party has conditions and advantages that can impress oneself
Su Chen immediately stood up, wielding a heavy war hammer in one hand and a long, narrow machete in the other, directly moving towards the doorway
The outside world has long transformed into a dark apocalyptic scene, where screams and gunfire, though not yet overtly apparent, have continued unabated, faintly echoing in the background. At this moment, who would come to knock on the door
As he spoke, he was about to close the door. In reality, he had long been deeply moved and was determined to obtain this gun, yet he still maintained an air of feigned indifference. This was not for any other reason, but because Xia Ming had previously displayed too much cunning, and Su Chen wanted to take control of the situation himself
Considering that the other party might also be quite wealthy, Xia Ming added, "This is just a deposit. As long as you ensure my survival, the Xihuang Group can pay you 100 million Federal Coins"
Su Chen was initially taken aback, but soon reacted, revealing a strange expression: So that's it, the reason why the reborn person who was killed by himself chose the Tianjing Hotel is not only to enjoy life, but also because he had long known that the young boss lived here, and probably had already made plans to directly seize the opportunity if he failed to bid at the auction
If you have a gun and bullets, I am willing to protect you, but only for three days!" Su Chen spoke
"West Wilderness Group?" Su Chen furrowed his brows, as he had no recollection of this entity at all. However, he was currently focused on refining his energy units, striving for survival, and had no time to engage in conversation with the big boss here. He directly replied, "What do you want?"
I am Xia Ming, the president of Xihuang Group. I came on a business trip to Yuanliao City, and I did not expect to encounter such a situation. The young boss introduced himself, saying, "I heard that there are people living here, so I wanted to come and take a look. I did not expect it to be you."
Su Chen's heart tightened
In the center stood a person slightly forward, with two others behind him, clearly indicating a hierarchy. The person in the center was taken aback upon seeing Su Chen and exclaimed, "It’s you!"
With that response, Su Chen understood that this young boss indeed had a gun
Although the city of Yuanliao is in chaos, Xia Ming has not truly witnessed the significant changes outside and has not experienced much. Therefore, he still optimistically believes that this cannot be the end of the world, the federation will not collapse, everything will get better, and money still holds its value
I hope you will protect us. This is the reward. " Xia Ming raised his head, looking intently at Su Chen.
Inside, there was actually a pure gold bar with a dark luster
Because he had personally faced the tall, thin shadow. That fear of death and the unknown told him: do not engage in futile efforts; when it is difficult to ensure one's own survival, one should not think of others.
He gritted his teeth and quickly extended his hand to block the door, saying: "Sir, what do you want? I can pay you for anything..."
As Su Chen was about to close the door, Xia Ming finally became anxious, quickly stepping forward to grasp the doorknob, gritting his teeth and saying: "What I actually want is for you to help us... My security guard, Xiao Song, witnessed you kill a monster... The thick liquid on the ground is the monster's corpse... So..."
The lock on his door had been damaged. To facilitate a potential escape, he had previously only piled a single armchair against it. If a monster were to enter, it could serve as a barrier, and when he wanted to flee, it would not obstruct him too much.
The reborn individual who perished by their own actions may act in an eccentric manner, yet their conduct is, in fact, quite meticulous
Xia Ming observed this scene, feeling somewhat dazed, and thought to himself, how could the other party remain unmoved by such a large sum of money? Could it be that he is indeed a top-tier wealthy individual?
Saying this, he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket and opened it in front of Su Chen
Su Chen's expression slightly stabilized as he asked, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, he could have immediately taken action to kill, but Su Chen did not do so; his heart was not that dark yet. Moreover, as the apocalypse had just begun, Xia Ming had not anticipated that layer of complexity; he was only calculating benefits, and the logic of casually killing was truly not his forte.
However, Su Chen was still overthinking
On the way here, Su Chen had already devised possible countermeasures
I..." Xia Ming slightly opened his mouth. Su Chen's reaction made him somewhat displeased, but due to the stark contrast in Su Chen's demeanor, he could not discern Su Chen's identity and did not dare to lose his temper. He could only say, "I was thinking, given that things have turned out this way outside, perhaps we can band together for warmth."
As he spoke, he was about to close the door. He possessed the Anoval Ring and the ability to transform, but at this stage, he could only protect himself, and partnering with ordinary people would only hinder him. As for the thought that he should help the other party because he had taken the Anoval Ring that perhaps rightfully belonged to Xia Ming, Su Chen might have a slight twinge of compassion in his heart, but he would not act on it
If it were still that kind of slender ghostly figure, he would directly use the gravity war hammer as a throwing weapon to smash it out. Even if he couldn't directly 'crush' the opponent, he should be able to suppress it. He would then charge forward with the苗刀 to behead it—previously tested with the explosive flying knives, losing its head would also be a severe blow to such a monster
His thoughts are completely opposite to those of Xia Ming
A hint of hesitation flashed across Xia Ming's face as he said, "Three days is not feasible..."
Even in this dimly lit environment, it emanates a captivating dark luster
Su Chen was somewhat surprised to clearly see the other person's face, as the individual was dressed in high-end clothing, exuding an impressive demeanor, and was quite young; it was indeed the young owner who had bid on the Anoval Ring at the auction earlier!
The young boss resides in another presidential suite on this floor, followed by his two bodyguards. Previously, his bodyguards had come out to assess the situation and witnessed Su Chen kill the slender ghostly figure with their own eyes. Therefore, after a period of waiting and contemplation, the young boss made the decision to approach this formidable individual next door
Su Chen negotiated: "At most three days"
This gold bar can be sold for at least 500,000 or more
Moreover, residing in the presidential suite... The young boss's mind was racing, and at this moment, he realized that he might have misjudged the situation. Although the other party appeared to be dressed ordinarily and had an unremarkable demeanor, they seemed to possess considerable wealth and even the ability to hunt such monsters... And that bronze bracelet, perhaps it truly is something of value...
Su Chen, with a cold expression, initially intended to reply that he needed nothing at all. However, upon seeing the young boss, he suddenly had a thought and asked, "Do you have a gun?"
Previously, he had just crossed over, and due to limitations in connections and time, he was unable to obtain a gun. As a result, he had to settle for purchasing weapons such as a boning knife, a Miao knife, and a Thor's hammer. If he could acquire a gun for modification, it would undoubtedly be an unparalleled enhancement for himself
Outside the door are three humans
If this were before the rebirth, or if there were no apocalypse, this gold bar would be enough to make his heart race. But now it is different; the world has ended, and 100 million Federal Coins are of no use at all. Moreover, the fact that the other party only revealed their intention at the end also made Su Chen somewhat unhappy
