Power Armor

Chapter 6 A strange pair of gloves

Walking into the black market, Xuetong obviously felt that the flow of people around him had decreased a lot. It may be that his killing just now was too horrifying, making many people avoid him. It was as if an invisible wall had appeared around him. Xue Tong has long been used to this. The essential means of survival were killed in the ruins of No. 27. It's not the first time he's been feared, either. It's just that most of the people who feared him before were other hunters, but now they are civilians.

The black market is huge, with a wide variety of products. Xuetong quickly found what he wanted. But the price of things made him daunting. He lingered for a long time without making a move. After shopping for more than half an hour, he still couldn't buy what he wanted. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a businessman wrapped in bandages in a corner of the black market. He is unloading a car. A large number of commodities were placed all over the floor, but it was strange that pedestrians walked past him as if they couldn't see it. Xue Tong felt strange for a while, then walked over to take a look, and was immediately overjoyed. The goods here are very complete and the prices are good.

Xuetong bought two specially made hooded cloaks. This kind of thing is essential equipment in the field. With this kind of thing, he can minimize the impact of radiation pollution. There were also two large dirty packs of bandages. Then he chose some gadgets for camping in the wild. A tent, a set of multi-purpose knives. And the essential trap parts.

In terms of weapons, there are many things Xuetong can choose from. There are everything from small hunting knives used by individual soldiers to large armored vehicles left over from the pre-civilization era. But the price could definitely bankrupt the richest man in the Vault. During the selection process, the boss who was so wrapped up that he couldn't even see his eyes followed Xue Tong. Constantly courteous introduction.

"Look, buddy. This is our new multi-functional hunting knife. The 1.2 meter blade is made of titanium alloy. It is definitely a boutique among cold weapons. Because the center of gravity is not easy to control, it can't be used without enough skills. But I think since you can kill fat pigs, it must be nothing to use this thing. Well, try it, I'm sure it can cut off the heads of those mutant creatures. If you also want to hunt mutants If so, it's the best."

Xuetong picked up the hunting knife and looked at it, then shook his head and put it down. "Too light."

"Well then, look at this, the XL3 ultra-high-speed assault rifle left by the former civilization, a cutting-edge weapon that replaces ordinary machine guns. The rate of fire is 2200 rounds per minute. It is more ferocious than many heavy machine guns. It can splash in a short time A large metal barrage is released. Using it to kill people is like mowing grass. Dude, seeing that you are a straightforward guy, you must like this thing.” Seeing Xuetong’s dissatisfaction with the bandage merchant, he handed it over A black firearm.

Xuetong picked up the gun, fiddled with it clumsily, then smiled at himself, shook his head and put it down. "I won't use it."

"Ha, you're really cute. But it's okay, let's look at this again." The bandage owner smiled slightly and pointed to a corner of the booth. "I thought you'd like this stuff?"

Looking along his fingers, Xuetong immediately saw a big iron box. Can't help frowning slightly. "this is?"

"S-7 type 'Wanderer' reconnaissance armor. The highest technological crystallization left by the previous civilization. The total weight is 230 kilograms. Powered by ordinary energy blocks. After being equipped, ordinary people can turn into a prehistoric monster. Smash a car with bare hands Tank. Oh my god, it's so powerful. I can't imagine what you'll be wearing with it. Its high-compression air thrusters will make you faster than lightning. The semi-enclosed structure will Allows you to greatly reduce the interference of radiation pollution. Of course, these are not its real power. Look here, its built-in electromagnetic pulse gun, although it is not a regular weapon, the range is only one hundred yards, but it is enough to turn a mammoth mutant beast Coked. It's a shame I got it in a tattered state, but it's still the best weapon out there. I swear, you won't find anything more powerful than this."

"..." Xuetong didn't speak, but just quietly looked at the heavy iron box, with fiery eyes in his eyes. Armor, he had heard the term before. The gangster bosses in the refuge knew that this was the most powerful individual combat weapon in the pre-civilization era, and it was the strongest armed force that replaced tanks and mechas. Although the appearance is just a set of armor, it can turn ordinary people into superhumans. For me, it was something that I would only think of in my dreams.

To be honest, Xuetong was tempted. He really wanted this big iron box. But he is very clear about the value of the iron box in front of him. Not to mention him, even if you add up all the gang bosses in the entire refuge, there are only a handful of people who can afford it.

"I..." Xue Tong lowered her head, unable to see any expression. "Let's look at something else."

"Oh, you are really a picky customer. But I seem to understand what you mean." The boss frowned, and glanced at Xuetong's purse without showing any trace. Turn around and bring Xuetong to another booth. Xuetong glanced briefly, and found that all the claws and teeth of various mutant beasts were placed on it.

"This is the trophy brought back by the hunters. The simplest and most primitive weapon. It has the advantages of being durable, but most importantly, it is cheap. Don't underestimate them. Although they don't look very good, they are useful. It’s not bad, maybe you need a tool to help you cut off the mutant beast’s skin, it will satisfy you. But that’s all.” The boss picked up the tooth of an unknown creature from the booth, and went to the armored vehicle next to it Swipe up. Immediately, a piercing noise came from Xuetong's ears, and a clear scratch appeared on the armored vehicle.

Seeing this scene, Xuetong nodded secretly. That's why I chose carefully. There are a lot of things in this booth, almost all of them are natural weapons of mutant creatures, some are claws, and some are insect-like forelimbs. Generally speaking, the forelimbs are sharper than the claws, but they are also limited. Insect forelimbs and teeth can generally be used as daggers, and claws are mostly made into gloves.

Xuetong rummaged through it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find a suitable weapon for him. These things are indeed powerful enough for ordinary people, but for himself whose body has been strengthened many times, Xuetong doubts whether their power is comparable to his own fist.

But just when he was about to give up, he suddenly found a pale bone glove in an inconspicuous corner of the booth.

This is a very ordinary and tattered bone glove. It doesn't look like much at all. The color is pale grayish. It was as if a thick layer of dust had been deposited on it. And unlike the general gloves made of claws, this one has no edges and no sharp claw blades. It seems that there is no lethality at all.

Originally, there was no way for Xuetong to take a fancy to such a pair of tattered gloves, but for some reason, the moment he saw the gloves, he felt the "it" in his body move. There seemed to be a sense of longing. By coincidence, Xuetong grabbed the gloves into his hands.

"Hey, buddy, you are such a miser. You didn't like so many good weapons when I introduced you, but you fell in love with this most shabby thing." The boss squinted at Xuetong and smiled disdainfully. road.

"What kind of glove is this? It doesn't look like the claw of a mutant creature." Xue Tong didn't care about the boss's cynicism. asked lightly.

"Then I don't know, that s**t has been here for a while. God knows how it got there. I'm just a merchant, and I don't care about the origin of the goods. But I can find a buyer for even a junk, like Now you, so, you know that thing appreciates now."

"I know." Xuetong nodded. Throw the ore bag you just got from the fat pig in front of the boss.

"The ore here should be enough. If there is any leftover, buy all the fresh water of the third level and the compressed food of the third level. Don't tell me that you don't have any."

"Nonsense, how could there not be. This is a black market, buddy." The boss put the ore bag into his arms with a smile. He conveniently threw an iron bucket over to Xuetong from behind the booth.

"The food and drinking water at the third level are very expensive, that's all. Boy, for the sake of killing that nasty fat pig, I will give you a cheap price today."

The bandage boss didn't lie to Xuetong. Level 3 food and drinking water are indeed very expensive. Although this iron barrel is not big, the contents inside definitely exceed the remaining value of the ore bag. Xuetong nodded gratefully to the boss. Pick up something and leave.

"Hey, look at what you bought. Are you going outside?" the boss shouted behind him.

"..." Xuetong didn't answer. Just paused.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, little guy. If you want to leave, try to go east. The environment over there is better, and the mutant creatures are not particularly powerful. If you're lucky, you should be able to have them before you reach the next gathering point." Good harvest. Of course, first you have to escape from the gang."

Once you leave the city, you become the prey of gangsters. This is the consensus of everyone. Compared with these, the information the boss told Xuetong is the most important. A direction with a better environment can reduce a lot of danger for Xuetong. The probability of reaching the next gathering point is higher by three points.

"Thank you." Xuetong was silent for a moment, before spit out two words. Then he walked towards the exit without looking back.

Behind him, the boss shook his head and packed his things. "Nice little guy, I hope to see you again. Although I'm poor, I like my temper. Don't die, I'm waiting to get my investment back."
