Chapter 63 Chapter 62 The Beginning of One Third
Zhuang Xuteng said goodbye to his sister and moved to the warehouse base to sleep. This way, a barrier can be set up between the mercenaries and their families, which can not only improve safety but also provide more freedom. At the same time, there is a phone in the warehouse base. Dao Ge reopened it and gave the number to his sister. Zhuang Xuteng repeatedly reminded that this phone should only be called in an emergency, and if there is an emergency, this phone must be called.
"You have already given me a gun, I can protect myself." Zhuang Feifei opened her bag and the bone spear pistol was inside. "Look, am I very obedient? By the way, your gun is very useful. My arm is cool and it doesn't hurt at all. What brand is it? I have seen many advertisements, but there is no such model."
"The engineering test version is almost a prototype. Of course, it is not sold outside. You can take it secretly, don't show it."
Zhuang Xuteng's scalp tingled when he thought of the bone spear pistol. He really didn't think that there would be so many things behind this thing. If it was two or three months ago, the gun business in the underground market was still quite good. Now that the "gun bill" has come out, the company and the PCPD are staring at each other, and the market has entered a deformed state. Except for the broken and useless guns of the Wild Monkey Gang, all the slightly better ones that may have a little impact on the company's standard firearms have been cleared out, and there is no trading volume at all.
After thinking about it for several days, Zhuang Xuteng admitted that he could not beat his arm, at least at this stage, it was impossible to steal profits from the company's mouth, so he gave up the idea of making and selling guns. He chose to use the five Wild Monkey Gang pistols on hand and a piece of alloy steel to make a second bone spear pistol, and keep it for himself.
Since he is making a gun for himself, of course he must strive for excellence. In three months, Zhuang Xuteng not only dug out the method of training bones from the lich master, but also optimized the bone spear pistol. Originally, the spell spell should be a double helix upgrade of experiment and theory. Even if the lich master has profound spell knowledge, it must be revised according to the laws of the real world.
Well, the reasoning was great, but there were not many improvements, mainly because Zhuang Xuteng could not afford it and did not have so many experimental materials. The Lich Master may have three thousand ideas in his mind, but Zhuang Xuteng's wallet can only support one experiment, and the experiment must be successful. In this case, he must choose the most practical and safest solution.
His solution is called: brass knuckles.
Zhuang Xuteng has two pieces of alloy steel on hand now, and there are enough materials. He can directly make four rings of brass knuckles, which can also increase the power of close combat.
It sounds reasonable, but it is not so simple to operate in practice. The brass knuckles are put on four rings together, and when bending the fingers, they must be bent synchronously. It is difficult to make the gesture of straightening the middle finger and index finger to aim, and bending the ring finger and little finger together. And this gesture is very important for the shadow gun. Without this aiming posture, the ghost energy bullet cannot achieve the tracking effect.
After thinking for a long time, he had to make a compromise and changed the rings of the ring finger and little finger into semicircles. When used as a brass knuckle, only the back of the finger needs to bear the impact force, and the half circle without the fingertip has no effect. When aiming, the half circle does not affect the bending of the finger.
Zhuang Xuteng even came up with another posture, which is to add the left hand to hold the two semicircular parts of the brass knuckle suspended in the air. On the one hand, this can make the aiming hand more stable, and on the other hand, the arms can bear the "reaction force" of the shadow pistol, so that more shots can be fired. When he finally finished the gun, he also found an additional benefit.
Zhuang Xuteng only needs to cast a bone spear spell with his left hand, and then combine it with the right hand to hold the gun and shoot together, and he can add the power of the bone spear in his left hand! Tested with a thick dictionary, if the penetration of a single gun is 200 pages (for example), the penetration of two guns can reach about 370 pages together. Although it is less than doubled, those equipment that can defend against a single gun will be defeated by this power increase. This is the unique advantage of the bone spear gun V2.
"It can also be used as a brass knuckle." Zhuang Xuteng was more satisfied.
This type of pistol would definitely attract attention if it was taken out, at least it would not be hidden from Ge Gongdao's eyes. So Zhuang Xuteng confessed to him that he made this gun himself, and he could make more.
Ge Gongdao blinked, and his surprised expression looked a little exaggerated, as if he was acting. "Nake, if you want to be a cook, I can introduce you to a relatively safe gang. Or you can work for a middleman, Lucy is a good choice, she won't treat you badly."
"I want to be a mercenary, we are partners."
"That's right, men should have such lofty ideals! Hehehe." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "You are a good kid. It's not easy to learn the skills of making guns in the Wild Monkey Gang! But at this stage, many eyes are on the gun market, so don't expose this ability outside. If someone asks about your gun, just say it's a trophy, and you don't know which guy asked someone to customize it. If someone else asks, tell him that the commission content must be kept confidential, you don't want to break the rules."
"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and then said, "Brother Dao, I think Boss Qian may have guessed something."
"Is it because you bought four guns?" Ge Gongdao touched his cheek, thought for a while, and said, "It's not a big problem. He is very tight-lipped. He may try every means to ask you indirectly, but as long as you don't say it directly, he won't ask it directly. That guy is very cautious and doesn't take action easily. But when the "gun bill" is over, the underground market gun business will start to pick up again, and you can also make some extra money through him, no problem!"
"Alas, I don't want to think about the future for now..." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Brother Dao, when can we open the business..."
Indeed, a week has passed since moving to the base. Zhuang Xuteng has tossed out the second generation of Bone Spear, but he has not received a commission yet. In fact, it's not that there is no work to do. There are always delivery jobs, but Ge Gongdao doesn't like it very much-he has been cheated too many times.
The things that need to be delivered by hired soldiers are either contraband, contraband, or... If you want to do this well, you must first have the ability to avoid risks, such as equipping a radio station that can monitor PCPD, and it is better to have a team member who specializes in monitoring to plan the route. The driver must have good driving skills, be able to handle emergencies, and be familiar with various routes and shortcuts.
The above two points have already ruled out Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng, not to mention that they also need a good car. During Zhuang Xuteng's training, Ge Gongdao took on several delivery tasks, all of which he participated as an escort, without the right to touch the steering wheel or monitor the radio. Escorts get the least share, and they are idle when there is nothing to do, and they are busy when there is something to do, and they are also the most likely to get injured. Moreover, given Ge Gongdao's size, he also works part-time as a porter and earns money by working hard. In order to make up 10,000 euros, he has not been idle for the past three months.
Now that Zhuang Xuteng has "graduated", Ge Gongdao has no interest in running delivery orders at all. He has been busy contacting old friends to see if there is any job suitable for him now. It can't be too difficult so that Zhuang Xuteng can get started, nor can it be too simple to make him, a veteran, feel bored. This strange requirement makes many middlemen scratch their heads and limits their choices.
However, Ge Gongdao is very persistent in his ideas. He didn't want to squeeze out Zhuang Xuteng's ability at all, but to let him gradually adapt and grow, which is the meaning of the old leading the new and forming a partnership. Ge Gongdao has his own persistence, unless he is at the end of his rope.
There will always be work, as long as you are a little patient. On the eighth day of their stay at the base, they finally got a good commission, which Lucy took from another middleman and now handed over to the two of them.
"A while ago, a batch of things shipped to PCPD were robbed halfway, a total of three small containers, and even the car and the goods were gone. The driver and the escort were killed, and the bodies were thrown on the side of the road, which made PCPD very angry." Lucy asked the two of them to meet and showed them the commission content she had sorted out.
Zhuang Xuteng exclaimed, and asked, "After robbing PCPD's things, doesn't PCPD plan to investigate thoroughly? They are so good-tempered?"
"Those things were not delivered, and PCPD didn't pay. The goods they are missing will naturally be supplemented by someone else. Even if they can't find them, PCPD will only lose face because of the case, and there will be no economic loss. For PCPD, anger and face are more important than money." Lucy said, "You two's task is to steal this batch of goods."
"Wait, your calculation is wrong!" Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said, "You just said three containers, so there must be three cars. The two of us drive three cars? Although I can send two thin people out according to their weight, I don't have that ability yet!"
"It's okay if you can steal one box. Even if you can steal two boxes, it's best to only steal one box."
Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at each other, both of them didn't understand, and then looked at Lucy together.
Lucy lit a cigarette, took a shallow puff, and pinched it between her fingertips. "That's all the briefing on the mission. You won't know the details until you decide to take over. That's the rule."
"I see. It's just asking us two to steal a small container..." Ge Gongdao thought for a while, looked at Zhuang Xuteng, and asked, "I think this job is interesting. What do you think?"
"I agree with you." Zhuang Xuteng smiled. Ge Gongdao could have made his own decision, but now he asked him. This was a kind of kindness and respect. "I follow Brother Dao, and I believe in Sister Lucy's judgment, so I want to take this job."
"Then we'll take it." Ge Gongdao slapped his thigh, which was considered a final decision.
"I knew you would be interested." Lucy took a deep puff of smoke, and immediately picked up a yellow kraft paper file bag from under the seat and handed it to them. "The client this time is PCPD, and you have to give him the things you stole back."
"Ah?!!" Zhuang Xuteng was completely stunned. What kind of operation is this? PCPD's things were stolen, and now PCPD wants them to steal them back. Shouldn't PCPD do this kind of thing themselves? Not only can you solve the case and earn face, you can also gain economic benefits, and deter those bastards who want to make trouble on your head. Besides, even if the PCPD is too lazy to do it and wants mercenaries to run errands, why only take back one box instead of three?
The key is "if you have the opportunity to take two boxes, you can only take one box", what's the reason?
