Chapter 102

"800 yuan. I really can't have more guests. You see, this is an old-fashioned locomotive. Although its performance is good, few people are willing to buy it now. If you don't believe it, go around other stores and see who is willing to accept it. Except me, sved, guests. My price is very reasonable, but you can't find it with a lantern."

After leaving the information center in Phoenix, zero is transferred to the business district of the city. In turbulent times, the business district mainly operated weapons and equipment. Of course, there were many shops selling and purchasing locomotives. Zero plans to sell the heavy locomotive. In the next journey, the heavy locomotive doesn't run faster than two legs. Moreover, the complex landform and road conditions of death mountain are not suitable for heavy locomotives.

Unless there are no caravans like Campbell from a path developed by adventurous businessmen like them for many years, but the target is too obvious to be attacked by many mutants or guys with ulterior motives.

If you sell the heavy locomotive, you can exchange the money for other supplies. As for the problem of walking tools after leaving the death mountain, zero has not considered it for the time being.

But I visited several locomotive shops one after another. All I met were unscrupulous businessmen. He bought the locomotive for 1800 yuan, but the businessmen offered less than half. At present, the thin and high price is already high. I met a guy who only opened 500 before zero, which made him almost shoot the black heart goods with a gun.

"1200!" zero insisted. He was not good at bargaining, so he would only bite a number.

Shiweide laughed, shook his head and said, "it's a pity, guest. It seems that this business can't be done. You might as well go to other stores and consider it again."

The merchant used hard to get tactics. He knew very well that zero would never get a higher purchase price. Those engaged in their business have their own set of secret rules, such as what goods are priced, and the floating difference will never exceed 300 yuan. As for heavy locomotives, Swede's offer is indeed the highest price in the industry.

If zero really wants to sell the locomotive, the merchant is not afraid that he will run away. He could foresee that after a zero turn, he had to return to his store, and sved might be able to keep the price down again.

"This is a good car. The body is strong enough and the engine utilization rate is no more than one year. Good guy, he is also equipped with a weapon rack. It can be seen that it has been carefully modified. If I say, the price of 1200 for this big guy is not too much."

A bold voice was inserted between the zero sum merchants, and a phoenix officer as strong as an iron tower came over. Zero knows him. This is George who accosted camper at the checkpoint.

George raised his bearded chin and said to the merchant, "schweider, don't think I don't know what you've done privately. Buy low and sell high and bully the market. You've done a good job in recent years. You're going to monopolize the arms business in Phoenix. But I remind you, you'd better restrain yourself. Otherwise, I'll always get you profiteers out of Phoenix."

Swede stooped down and said, "yes, Sir George taught me a good lesson."

He turned to zero and said, "this guest, your locomotive has been accepted by our store. How about the price you said."

Nodded at zero, and then the locomotive was driven away by the store staff. And he and schweider went to the store to handle the handover procedures. When he came out with 1200 yuan, zero found George playing with some machine guns in the store.

Seeing the zero, George blinked and said, "look, I'll make a deal for you. Should you buy me a drink?"

20 minutes later, they appeared in the "blue witch" bar in Phoenix. The bar takes dark blue as the main color and heavy metal as the decoration style of the whole bar. Here, there are more officers and soldiers in Phoenix than civilians. So when George took him inside, zero was watched by many soldiers.

Some soldiers even cast ambiguous eyes at George when they saw his handsome face. But soon, these eyes hit George's fist back.

"This is the soldiers' club in Phoenix. The wine is not very good, but the price is reasonable. Trust me, sit in another bar for a while, and you will be so treacherous that you have to pawn your pants."

George asked for two brandies. He almost yelled to zero in the loud music of the bar.

Zero drank the wine silently. After taking a sip, he said, "why do you help me?"

"Because it's not pleasing to the eye." George drank all the wine in his arms at one breath, and then asked the bartender for another.

"You don't know, I'm watching the city grow from nothing. For me, it's like my child." George stopped drinking. This time, he just took a sip and put down his wine. He made a helpless expression and said: "But as you can see, the city has developed, but its taste has changed. At the beginning of construction, no matter we soldiers or citizens, everyone is full of heartfelt enthusiasm for it. But now, I only smell the smell of copper. Those hateful businessmen are like greedy army ants. They come from all directions. Yes, because Phoenix has developed very well in recent years Fast. But at the same time, the nature of the city is also changing. But what can we do? The city I love can only helplessly watch it change from an innocent child to a philistine businessman. "

With that, George took another hard drink.

Zero can see the helplessness in the heart of this middle-aged officer, but in turbulent times, who can live according to his ideal. Not to mention the age of the law of the jungle, even in the old era, everyone has a helpless reality that is more or less incompatible with the ideal.

We either live or be lived, don't we?

Zero accompanied George to drink this bosom and fuck their own helplessness!

"Listen, I'm not such a sentimental person at ordinary times. But it's nice to see you. Don't tell me you're just one of the guards of Campbell's fat pig. Hey, it's not that simple. My eyes are poisonous. You don't like to be a guard." George smiled and gestured his eyes with his fingers.

Zero smiled and chose silence.

George didn't ask. Everyone has a secret in his heart. He won't ask if he doesn't want to say it. After all, they are just passers-by. Maybe tomorrow, no one will remember who they are.

He asked the bartender for another drink when he had finished drinking the wine in the glass. This is more than usual for him. But somehow, he really wants to drink tonight. Perhaps George's helplessness also reminds him of melancholy in his heart.

But it seems that zero drinking is not the second wine tonight. The sudden alarm not only made it impossible to drink wine, but also changed George. The smell of helplessness and decadence was swept away and replaced by the rigor and determination of the soldiers.

George immediately pressed the messenger on his shoulder and shouted, "what's the matter?"

Gunfire came from the messenger, followed by soldiers shouting, "attack, sir! The wolves in Maureen suddenly attacked us!"
