Chapter 388 Death 1

Joson sneezed, and he rubbed his nose red with his cold wind.

The time is eight o'clock in the morning. Although it is already bright, the weather is not warm due to the arrival of the day in winter. Sunshine is a product of the old era, while in the new era, people can only enjoy the light diffused from thick radiation clouds to the earth.

Looking around, there is a vast white world outside Pavalić. Radiation clouds piled up on the road, turning the whole earth into a snowfield. Those abnormally tall muted fir trees have fallen off their branches and leaves, leaving only a yellow-brown skin. Without branches and leaves, fir trees do not have to bear the heavy pressure of radiant snow, and the roots that become nearly kilometers long allow them to draw water from some flowing ground water deep in the earth to wait for the opportunity to grow branches and leaves in the spring of next year.

Looking at the almost boundless silver frost forest outside Pavalich town, Joson couldn't help shivering. Under the quiet forest, if someone digs the ground, they will find a country full of roots. In that country, you will see mountains of bones. After all, plants in the new era no longer survive solely on sunshine, rain and dew. They have become bloodthirsty beings.

So Jonathan is glad that he lives in Pavalic, although this is a place where birds don't shit, even though he has to stand guard in the sentry tower before five o'clock every day. But at least in this town, Joson has a job and can support his wife and children. With the efforts of the mayor Mensa and several bigwigs, Pavalić's life is getting better and better day by day.

In addition to the hunter union under Chairman Fred's huge profits generated by the fur profits of the town every year, it is also because Pavarić has an important customer. Joson couldn't help looking at the dense forest in the southwest of the town, where a group of magical lives lived in the forest. They built magnificent underground cities and controlled an oil well that seemed to have no limits.

Oil!

One of the most scarce things in the new era, those aliens living underground use this fuel called "black gold" and Pavaridge for bartering. This business alone has benefited the whole town. Naturally, most of the interests are in the hands of bigwigs, and ordinary people like Joson only get a little dividend every year. But this dividend is also worth Joson's three-month salary!

In this cruel era, there is bread to eat, clean water to drink every day, and doctors can ask when you are sick. Joson believes that Pavarić is already a paradise for many people.

The weather was so cold that Joson rubbed his red hands. He felt that the back of his hand was itchy and couldn't help scratching it with his fingers. On the back of Joson's hand, there is a layer of meat cocoons that are not too thick. The meat cocoon block is spiral, and there are dark red silk threads passing through the meat cocoon like a capillary. Looking at this layer of meat cocoon, Joson wanted to find time to go to the hospital.

This is a "skin disease" that almost every ordinary person living in a surface town will suffer from. The existence of mutant tissue will make people like Joson able to withstand the radiation on the surface, but they are double-sided blades. In addition to improving the physical energy of ordinary people's resistance to radiation, they will also desperately absorb the vitality of ordinary people, so that they will be far shorter-lived than those who live in underground cities with a good protected environment.

Fortunately, the only small hospital in Pavariciri is already qualified for mutant tissue removal surgery. It's just that there is no way to eradicate it completely. The residents of the town have to have such an operation almost every three years to slightly extend their life expectancy.

While calculating whether his savings were enough to pay for a resection, Johnson suddenly heard the car engine. He looked at the snowfield outside the town with some surprise. At first, it was just a black spot, but a moment later. A modified jeep shattered the snow on the ground through the snow exhaust system and sprayed it from both sides, allowing it to drive out of the dense forest of silver frost and go straight towards Pavalić.

There seems to be a cargo bucket behind the jeep, which is covered with a waterproof cloth, and I don't know what it is.

Only after the initial surprise, Joson regained his composure. He can't see anything suspicious except this car. He thought that it should be an adventure businessman, although adventure businessmen rarely appear in this season. But there are also some desperate guys who risk their lives to cross the wilderness to make huge profits when the road is closed and prices rise.

Pawaric meets two or three people like this every winter. Usually, it is rare to see those adventurous faces in the next year. Wilderness is not safe, especially in winter. The road is difficult to pass in, and it is difficult to get rescue if you are in distress. However, this is also the reason why adventurers make huge profits.

After all, profit is always with risk.

I know it, but Joson still faithfully performs the duties of being a gatekeeper. He first used the walkie-talkie to inform the doorman to keep the soldiers of the city defense team on a certain alert. Then he picked up an old firearm rifle and pointed it at the approaching vehicle under the sentry tower, and shouted, "Hey, stop, man!"

After shouting three times, the car stopped in the snow hundreds of meters away from the entrance. The door of the jeep opened and a man jumped out of the car. From the perspective of body shape, it should be a man, with a high body size, but the body shape is not very strong, but a little delicate. This wraps itself in a hooded cloak to maintain his body temperature.

He stretched out his hand under his cloak and lifted his hood, revealing an Asian face. Judging from the appearance, this man is quite young and his facial features are very handsome, which makes people like him at first sight. It's just that he has a blindfold in his right eye, which somehow makes Joson feel uncomfortable.

The young man said in a quiet voice, "Hello, we are adventurous businessmen from the far south. I heard that the fur here is of high quality, so I want to buy a batch. Moreover, we will bring some goods, and you should be interested.

Jorson nodded, and the self-introduction was not special. He pointed the barrel to the cargo and said, "Sir, please remove the tarpaulin on your cargo and accept the inspection of our guard."

"No problem." The man was very cooperative. He waved to the car, so two more figures jumped down.

In terms of figure, it should be a man and a woman. Although she couldn't see her appearance because of her hat, the woman's fluttering figure occasionally showed Joson's throat dry.

At this time, the alloy gate of the town separated from both sides with the help of a hydraulic machine, and four or five guards quickly ran out of the town and jumped on the cargo bucket to check. A moment later, a guard shouted to Joson on the sentry tower, "No problem, most of them are food and two boxes of rifles. It's wrapped in waterproof cloth, and it looks like a good one.

After the guard jumped out of the car, the young man shook hands with him, as if saying thank you for letting him go. Joson smiled and put away the rifle. If the guard is lucky, he will tip if he meets a generous businessman. Of course, city guards like them are generally divided even if they get tips from generous businessmen.

Jerson no longer went to take care of the city and directly notified the gate to let it go. He didn't know that the guard did get tips, and there were many more.

The guard felt something hard in his palm. When the young adventurous businessman in front of him withdrew his hand, he found that there was a small piece of yellow gold in his palm. He was overjoyed that this small piece of gold was almost equal to his income for half a year. When he was happy, he heard the young businessman say in a gentle voice, "I don't know which store in town has the best reputation. You see, we have to do a lot of business, and we have to find a reliable merchant to cooperate."

The guard secretly hid the gold and nodded and said, "When it comes to credibility, you naturally have to find the Owl Company. Their boss is the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in our town. There must be no need to say about credibility."

The young businessman said, "Then could you please tell me where this business is?"

The guard took the benefits of others and saw that the young man was very polite and had a good impression. He patted his chest and said, "Well, I'll take you there."

"That's the best." The young man smiled.

When the guard left, the young man and two other companions got on the car again. There was still a petite girl sitting in the back seat of the car. A total of four people drove into Pavalić under the guard's road. These people are naturally zero, Berien, Su plus a night Liu. The linkage fleet of the three rich families in Asgard arrived on the other side of the silver frost forest as early as last night. At this moment, it was a cold winter, and the road was blocked by heavy snow, and there were no Pavaric's townspeople at all. Even the hunters in the town are also at rest at this time, so the motorcade is not afraid of being discovered by the people in the town.

This morning, Beatrice provided a fake identity for Zero and others to enter Pawari, then pretended to be an adventure businessman. In order to gain the trust of Pavalić, the food and even the guns on the goods are really being purchased from some factories on the southern coastline. Even if the people of the Pavalic Chamber of Commerce conduct a rigorous investigation of these goods, they will only find that they come from the south.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about Beyonris's carefulness. When it was bright in the morning, he and Berion and other three people crossed the edge of the silver frost forest and arrived at the town. Now, they have driven into the town, which is equivalent to half of the success of the plan.

In the car, Su said, "It's quite good for the captain to pretend to be a businessman."

Berion, sitting in the back seat, said, "How can there be such a young adventure businessman? If it were me, I would definitely catch an old man to dress up."

Zero laughed and said, "The old man has always been heavy, and how many people dare to cross the wilderness to come here at this time. Only a new-looking Lai bird like me will come all the way. Besides, as long as it is profitable, businessmen will not care whether their partners are young or old.

With a laugh, the car drove through the gate. The zero-benefit guard did not go back on his promise. He drove a motorcycle in front of him and led more than 0 people to follow him. It was getting late. Pedestrians began to walk around in the town, and the shops on the street opened one by one, and the town became more and more energetic.

Zero drove on the main road of the town. The residents of the town were curious about their early morning visitors and threw various meaningful glances at their vehicles. Occasionally, when the waterproof cloth of the cargo bucket is lifted by the wind and the box loaded with guns is exposed, residents will give birth to a small **. Although the economy of the town is good, the transactions are mainly fur and unknown "black gold".

And guns are undoubtedly another hard currency other than black gold. Limited by the level of science and technology and backward production capacity, Pavarić does not have such products as arsenals. The firearms used by hunters and city guards are also purchased from other places, and they are far behind in performance. Therefore, guns are more favored by businessmen in Pavalich than other commodities.

Several businessmen were very interested in these two boxes of guns. When they saw zero vehicles parked in front of the gate of the owl business, these businessmen had no choice but to die. The owner of the Owl business is Sharon, chairman of the town's Chamber of Commerce, and the profiteer will certainly not let go of such beneficial goods as guns. If Sharon took action, how could these ordinary businessmen intervene?

"Here it is." The guard jumped off the motorcycle, said to Zero, and shouted at the shop that had opened the door to welcome guests, "Old Rob, get out quickly. A big customer is coming."

Zero let the three Berien stay in the car, and he jumped out of the car. At this time, I saw a thin old man slowly coming out of the shop. The old man first stared at the guard and said angrily, "I'm not afraid of making trouble in the early morning. The Okta family hasn't seen him for a few days, but he hasn't seen anything else, but his voice is much louder."

The guard laughed and pointed to the old man and said to Zero, "This gentleman, old Rob is the director of the Owl business. If you have any business, just ask him. I brought you the place, so I'll walk. There's a lot of work waiting for me to do.

"Thank you, may the omnipotent Lord bless you, sir." Zero said with a cross on his chest.

Before coming here, Beatrice told him that adventure merchants usually travel through dangerous wilderness, so they believe in the existence of gods more than anyone else. Therefore, if Zero can add some elements to the conversation, it will make his identity look more credible.

Sure enough, after Zero said that, the old man looked at Zero with a little less distrust.

"This guest, since you brought it from the Okta family, come in. I don't know what business you want to do?" The old man waved his hand to Zero and walked into the store first.

Zhong gave a wink at several people in the car, and the other three, including Ye Liu, got out of the car and walked into the store with Ling. Old Rob took them to a quiet room, sat down, took out the list of goods prepared early in the morning and handed them to the old man, "These are the goods we brought. They are all high-quality goods produced by the southern factory. I think Pavage will need them."

The old man took a look, and the list listed a series of different food cans, as well as some artificial fruits, which are also rare in Pawarić. What really moved old Rob is the two boxes of sophisticated firearms and rifles. Although they are imitation of old-era firearms, they are much better than the old guns purchased elsewhere at present, and the gun is also accompanied by a considerable base of ammunition. Not many businessmen will not be moved when they see this.

Old Rob was unmoved and said lightly, "Since you can find our owl business, I will naturally give you a good price for these goods. Wait a minute, our appraiser is still at work, or are you interested in going to our town?

"No, in fact, we still want to sell some special goods in your town this time." Zero showed a meaningful smile.

Old Rob lowered his head and looked at Ling with his cloudy eyes and said, "Please make it clear. We have a lot of special products, and fur is one of them."

"It's more valuable than fur. I want to buy some black gold." Zero said.

Old Rob said "Oh" and said, "Guest, you are well-informed, but black gold is unusual fur, and we accept cash."

"I know this." Zero gestured to Berien, who threw him a backpack. Zero opened the backwind, hung upside down, and immediately fell out of the backpack.

Old Rob's eyes immediately dazzled the gold. He rubbed his eyes and picked up a gold bar from the ground and put it in his mouth with as agility as young people. He was surprised and said, "Good guy, the purity is good."

"The old gentleman is very familiar with goods. I don't know how much black gold you can buy with these gold bars?"

Old Rob gestured, asked Zero to put away the gold bars, and then said, "The amount of weight you want is beyond what I can do. I have to inform my master that he should be interested in talking about this business with you. Please wait here for a moment, and I'll come as soon as I get there.

After saying that, old Rob left.

Berion wanted to say something at this time, but Zero shook his head gently, so he swallowed the words back and waited quietly in this small room with the rest of the people. After not letting the zero people wait for too long, old Rob opened the door and waved to the zero people and said, "Come with me. Lord Sharon, my father, wants to see you."

Sharon stretched out and tried to get up from this big ** with grass. He looked at the horizontal jade bodies and laughed complaedly. He is not young, but his energy has not deteriorated at all. Instead, he is more vigorous than before. Last night, he fought with these three beautiful young women almost overnight. They played a lot of tricks and didn't fall asleep until almost early in the morning.

According to Sharon's habit, she had such a carnival last night, and today she has to sleep for a day anyway. But just now, old Rob, the supervisor of the firm, called and said that there was an adventurous businessman carrying a whole backpack of gold bars to buy black gold, which was a big business. Therefore, no matter how unhappy Sharon is, she can only leave this warm bed for a while.

However, Pavalić's black gold trading has always been secretive, and the source of customers is fixed, and there are few new faces. Especially according to old Rob's description, these adventurers are very young. Of course, only young people dare to make money desperately in this season, just like Sharon was young. However, he is no longer young, and time has given him mature and careful thinking.

Sharon thought for a moment and asked old Rob to bring the guests to his apartment. At the same time, he transferred a guard of his own. He wants to figure out the details of these people. If it's malicious, it's not a big deal to kill people in Pavalic.

Sharon smiled and stretched out her big hand to grab one of the white buttocks before leaving.
