Chapter 18 Arms
Put on a mask and fold the hood up to cover your hair.
Having disguised himself, Yu Jing then left the bus and officially entered the cage area.
With the help of his phone's navigation, he quickly found the approximate location of the gun shop and turned into a narrow alley.
The light suddenly dimmed, and looking up, one could not see the sky, only layers of floorboards, iron frames, and neon signs, which cut the sky into narrow, fragmented strips. Raindrops hung down like curtains, tapping softly on the umbrella surface.
The journey from the station was smoother than expected.
I didn't see any fierce-looking gang members, just a few oddly dressed thugs sitting together smoking. Occasionally, I could also see ordinary residents going about their daily lives on the street.
This is why Yu Jing chose to come to the cage area in the afternoon rather than in the evening.
Although everyone knows that the Cage District is not safe, it is still home to nearly 100,000 people who need to ensure their daily lives.
Ultimately, gangs are also made up of people, and they also need public facilities and government agencies to provide them with basic services.
Therefore, in order to maintain a semblance of order, the major gangs and the government had long ago reached a tacit understanding that during the daytime, the major gangs would restrain their subordinates from gathering and causing trouble, and government agencies would also operate normally.
The disguise for the iron cage area will be removed at night.
That's when the black and gray industries, such as casinos, nightclubs, and even the Super Dream Experience Center, will take center stage, and various gangs will also make their appearance.
Yu Jing chose to come in the afternoon to avoid unnecessary conflict, but just to be on the safe side, he still brought his revolver.
After all, although his physical condition is far superior to that of ordinary people, he will still die if he is destined to be shot twice.
Stepping out of the alley, you are greeted by a downward passage that appears to be a converted subway entrance.
This is actually a subway entrance.
However, the subway in the Iron Cage District stopped operating more than a decade ago, and the business district below became a battleground for gangs. Now, it has been "tailored to local conditions" and transformed into an industrial cluster that is more suitable for this area.
In a sense, it can be said that they seized the opportunity of the times.
Years of disrepair have caused the plaster to peel off the walls on both sides of the passageway, exposing rusted steel bars and mottled red bricks.
The few relatively intact areas are covered with pornographic posters from nightclubs, wanted posters for showing off, and gang graffiti with a sinister feel, such as red tiger claws, distorted religious symbols, or blood-dripping axes.
Ordinary people would have avoided such a sight, but Yu Jing walked through it calmly.
Compared to what happened in that foreign land yesterday, everything here is nothing.
Even the scariest things can't be as terrifying as the monsters in the dark forest?
Upon entering the underground shopping district, an indescribable odor permeated the air, a mixture of burnt plastic, cheap perfume, and the smell of blood, making one feel uneasy.
The advantages of coming here during the day become apparent at this time.
Many shops in this underground shopping district are currently closed, with heavy roller shutters pulled up outside. Occasionally, a few shops are half-open, but they are cleaning and replenishing the "resources" they will need for the night.
Having done her homework beforehand, Yu Jing quickly found the gun shop called "Iron Fist" on the basement floor.
The sign outside, made of steel fists and bullets, is quite eye-catching; it's hard to miss.
Pushing the door open, the first thing Yu Jing saw was the various firearms hanging on the wall behind the counter—pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, and more. The display case was filled with boxes of bullets and various gun parts; it was practically a small armory.
"Hey bro, what do you want?"
Just as Yu Jing was looking around the store, the staff noticed him, put down the pornographic magazine in their hands, and got up to greet him.
Yu Jing turned to look at the shop assistant, raising an eyebrow slightly.
His modified, bright silver mechanical jawline, studded black graffiti jacket, and tattoos on his neck and arms all indicated his gang background. This rather unconventional outfit did not make Yu Jing nervous; on the contrary, it made him breathe a sigh of relief.
His goal in coming here was to bypass the requirement of a gun license and purchase firearms and ammunition.
What we wanted was something unconventional and with a gang background.
If it were a law-abiding gun shop, he wouldn't have come here.
"This is the list; everything I need is on it."
Yu Jing pushed the pre-prepared list in front of the shop assistant, deliberately lowering her voice.
To pass the Explorers' Agency's assessment, he definitely needed to be well-prepared, and he didn't plan to keep a single penny of the loan he had just applied for.
If you don't meet the performance targets, you're definitely out of a job. What's the point of keeping money?
"Relax, brother, this is the cage area... Judging from your appearance, you obviously don't have a gun license. Let's get this straight, there's an extra service fee for you, to cover up my law-abiding conscience, about 30%, so be prepared."
The shop assistant glanced at Yu Jing, who was bundled up tightly, and curled her lip in disdain. She then picked up a calculator and unfolded the list, saying repeatedly,
"One hundred .45 caliber revolver rounds, a Dragon's Breath III shotgun, thirty 12-gauge armor-piercing rounds, six smoke grenades, six flashbangs, ten hand grenades... Wait, buddy, are you going to fight zombies?"
The more they talked, the more uncomfortable the shop assistant's expression became. In the end, she looked at Yu Jing with a look of surprise, as if she suspected that he was playing a trick on her.
Who in their right mind would buy so many guns and ammunition at once?
"That's right, it's about fighting zombies. I can afford it, so what? Or are you out of stock?"
Yu Jing had no intention of explaining and stared at the shop assistant, asking directly.
Shotguns weren't originally on his list, but he remembered the physique and strength of the beast-like priests before going to bed last night, so he added them on the spot. High-powered firearms are the way to deal with these kinds of large monsters!
"Damn it, you dare say I have no goods? Dude, don't you even know where you are? Just wait, today I'll open your eyes, you country bumpkin!"
The shop assistant, who was questioned, immediately became unhappy. Although Yu Jing had bought quite a lot of things, this was a gun shop in the Iron Cage District. As long as you could afford it, what was a few grenades? He could even get a few RPGs!
Soon all the goods Yu Jing wanted were delivered, and the shop assistant's final quote was 5 yuan.
To be honest, this price is definitely inflated, and by a lot more than the 30% service charge the staff mentioned.
However, after a brief moment of thought, Yu Jing still chose to pay.
On the one hand, he didn't really understand the actual value of weapons in the Iron Cage area, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to bargain. He would also expose that he was a novice, which could easily cause trouble.
On the other hand, his purchase of weapons is ultimately illegal, and there aren't many shops to choose from. The likely consequence of causing trouble here is that it will attract strong attention from other gang members, and it's not impossible that a normal transaction will eventually turn into one-sided extortion!
After weighing the pros and cons.
Spending more money is actually the safest approach.
