Chapter 873: Chapter 38: A Sudden Transaction_2
The middle-aged man initially looked listless, but upon seeing custors entering, he imdiately showed a joyful expression.
“Pedro! Why is it you guys?”
However, when he saw the people who ca in, the joy on his face imdiately disappeared and turned into a constipated expression.
“Pedro! I don’t have any more wine here! The apocalypse has been going on for so many days, all my stock is sold out. You should just leave quickly!”
The man nad Pedro instantly slapped two bags of compressed food onto the counter, impatiently saying:
“Stop the nonsense! Lu’an, do you think I don’t know? If you really don’t have any wine, then why are you still open!? Here’s the money, paid upfront! Quickly get two jars of the best Langke Wine!”
The bar owner, seeing the two bags of compressed food on the counter, didn’t refuse any longer, and snatched the items into his arms before muttering:
“Two bags of Green Rice Grass rations aren’t worth that much Langke Wine, I can only give you one jar…”
Pedro ignored him and led Zhang Xiaoman straight into the private room with the word “mber” written on it.
In fact, it was more like a small room with partitions rather than a real private room.
The exterior, like the entire No Light Zone environnt, was primarily dark tal, dilapidated, and exuded a cyberpunk vibe.
“You all, get out, stand at the door, don’t let anyone eavesdrop!”
Pedro, being sowhat of a minor leader among the group, gave orders to his subordinates.
The room was instantly left with just the two of them.
Seeing such a big fuss from the other side, Zhang Xiaoman’s curiosity grew stronger, wanting to see what exactly this guy was up to.
On the table were two small tal cups filled with pink liquor, no desserts, no snacks, looking quite shabby in the emptiness.
Pedro, oblivious to this, picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, showing a face of enjoynt.
Here, in such an environnt, being able to drink a bit of Langke Wine was already the rarest enjoynt for the people living on this planet.
Zhang Xiaoman also picked up the wine cup and took a sip; for him, there was no such thing as poisoning.
It must be said that although this pink Langke Wine looked a little unimpressive, its taste was quite delightful.
He usually didn’t drink, but on a whim tried it and found the liquor on this planet surprisingly tasty.
It had the rich aroma of fine wine from Water Blue Star, yet lacking the pungent spiciness, offering a smooth taste that lingered in one’s mind.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the yellow iron wine cup in his hand with a bit of surprise, not expecting to taste sothing so good in such an unassuming place.
“Haha, big brother, this Langke Wine is indeed a specialty of our No Light Zone, made from the local Langke Bacteria. Even those above can’t drink it if they wanted to.”
Seeing Zhang Xiaoman’s reaction, Pedro perked up, knowing it was his first ti drinking, and began enthusiastically introducing the fine wine in his hand.
“Alright, you went through such trouble to call over, what’s this about, just say it directly.”
“Ahaha… Big brother is straightforward! In that case, I won’t waste any more ti.”
Pedro chuckled dryly, put down his wine cup, and adopted an extrely mysterious expression, saying:
“I wonder if big brother has heard of our boss, the number one warrior in the Black Market — Sol!”
“Sol?”
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.
He had heard that na, but it was a blond giant waving a hamr wildly, probably not the sa person he’s talking about.
“What’s your boss looking for to do?”
“Here’s the deal, our boss recently gave us a task to find other Genetic Warriors like you, big brother. He has a big business to discuss with you!”
“Big business?”
“Exactly!”
Pedro leaned in closer to the table, lowering his voice:
“Our boss knows of a place with lots of treasures, but he needs a partner to reach it successfully. As long as you’re willing to team up with him, he can give you half of the good stuff afterward!”
“Oh? Where is this good place you’re talking about, and what are the treasures?”
Pedro glanced towards the doorway, as if afraid of being overheard, and spoke even more softly:
“To be honest, our boss wasn’t originally from the No Light Zone, just like you, he’s a Genetic Warrior who ca from sowhere else.”
“I don’t know the exact location, but our boss said it’s outside of this city.”
“As for what’s there… I can give you a hint, it’s a warehouse of supplies, with lots of Corona Combat Suits, and even two Guardian-class chas. Unfortunately, those damned Crimson Light makes it so that those two chas might be unusable…”
As he described, Zhang Xiaoman’s initially aloof expression gradually turned serious.
Especially upon hearing about the nurous Corona Combat Suits and two chas, he was inwardly thrilled.
The reason he ca to the No Light Zone this ti was to find the Corona Combat Suit, wasn’t it?
Originally, he thought he could at most find one piece today, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon such an unexpected delight midway.
Thinking about those pieces of equipnt Pedro ntioned, his heart couldn’t help but stir with waves of excitent.
Maybe for these people, outside of the city would indeed be more dangerous.
Because, in the wilderness of this planet, there were nurous Mutant Beasts.
These were the Mutant Beasts created by Makula on Water Blue Star.
These Mutant Beasts lived outside for a long ti, and due to their imnse power and terrifying reproduction speed, the Federation’s troops couldn’t completely clear them, and sotis even suffered small-scale losses because of them.
Fortunately, as the Federation developed technologically, they didn’t skimp on Skill Points in defense.
All sorts of defense gun turrets were set up on the city’s edge, making it hard for those monsters to easily break through the lines there.
However, now with the appearance of Crimson Light, the originally various powerful Mutant Beasts were all infected, transforming into even more terrifying Mutants.
This made the danger level outside the city rise exponentially.
It’s no wonder that the boss Pedro ntioned didn’t dare venture there easily.
“So, your boss ca from there earlier and now wants to go back, is that it?”
Zhang Xiaoman inquired.
“Uh…”
Pedro hesitated, realizing the implications of his words.
If there are so many good things there, why take the risk to co here crossing mountains and rivers?
He paused and explained:
“Hehe, big brother, don’t doubt it, I guarantee I’m not lying to you. Our boss had no choice but to return from there…”
“He was originally from this city, having a daughter here, and risked coming back from there to save her. Alas, when he returned, his daughter had already turned into Savardo…”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, understanding. The fellow, as a father, did sothing that’s reasonable.
He pondered for a mont; this opportunity was indeed too good to pass up.
Only after smoothly finding the place, the distribution of those things needs further negotiation.
Of course, discussing this with Pedro would be pointless, so he promptly agreed:
“Hmm, sounds like a good deal, I accept it. Where’s your boss now? Take to see him.”
