long night fire

Seeing that Shang Jian Yao closed his mouth, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and continued:

"When we settle down, we will have lunch first, and then contact the company's intelligence personnel according to the agreed method, and meet at the preset time in our preset place.

"There is no problem with secretly observing the intelligence agent. After no one is following, let Shang Jianyao go up and 'make friends' with him..."

At this time, Jeep turned into an alley on South Street and stopped in front of a row of houses.

Long Yuehong looked outside, the first thing she saw was a signboard:

"Afford Gun Shop"

Under the signboard, on the wall with severely damaged white tiles, someone wrote a line with a black pen:

"Bad pistols, bad rifles, bad submachine guns."

Chapter 15 南姨

"They still know how to repair guns?" Long Yuehong looked at Bai Chen who was in the driving seat and pushed open the door.

What he meant was that this was no longer a simple repair.

"If you can't eat this bowl of rice, you can't open a store like this." The cold wind was howling outside, and Bai Chen couldn't help pulling the gray scarf around his neck.

"And, sometimes, a broken gun may not be really broken, or not so badly broken." Jiang Baimian speculated based on his own experience and knowledge, "It's just that the gun sellers don't know much about it."

Bai Chen nodded and said:

"That's the most profitable part."

After finishing speaking, she closed the car door and walked to "A Fu Gun Shop".

"Money?" Long Yuehong had learned this term before, but only saw it once in reality, and that was the Old World coin that Shang Jianyao got from Wu Shoushi.

Jiang Baimian casually said through the windshield:

"This is considered a part of the big power, and there must be coins in circulation, but it is often limited to the inside.

"Actually, the company's contribution point is essentially equal to money. Have you forgotten the concept of general equivalent?"

Long Yuehong thought about it for a few seconds, then said weakly:

"We didn't learn..."

Jiang Baimian was at a loss for words, and it took several seconds before he smiled and said:

"I'll give you a few books later, read them carefully.

"While it's not very useful in terms of life inside the company, it helps us understand a lot of things when we're out in the dirt.

"Moreover, if you can master it well, it will be much easier for you to transfer away from the 'old tune group', and you can even be assigned to the department in charge of foreign trade."

"Okay, okay." Long Yuehong's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Although he will definitely be in the "Old Tune Group" for the next half a year, but people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and he still has to prepare for a future job transfer.

Otherwise, after adapting to such a high-income position, it is really easy for people to be disappointed if they are low.

Besides, I have to support a family in the future!

Jiang Baimian nodded with a smile, then looked suspiciously at Shang Jianyao and said:

"why do not you talk?"

The quieter this guy was, the more she was afraid that he would make something wrong.

Shang Jian Yao touched his stomach and said:

"Save energy."

"Also..." Jiang Baimian also felt hungry.

It's been a while since lunch time.

While talking, Bai Chen came out of "A Fu Gun Shop" and returned to the jeep.

Behind her, a young man in an old windproof suit followed, and opened the gate of the iron fence a few meters away.

This leads to the rear of the building where the gun shop is located.

This is a square yard surrounded by several buildings. The ground is covered with off-white stone bricks, but it has been broken a lot and some rainwater has accumulated.

After Bai Chen found a place to park the jeep, he opened the door and said:

"right here."

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, got out of the car and looked around, firmly remembering the locations of the four exits of the courtyard.

Then, they followed Bai Chen into the back door of "Ah Fu Gun Shop", and went up to the second floor along a cold and damp gray staircase.

A woman who looked to be in her 30s was waiting here.

Her black hair was tied up in a bun, her facial features were not outstanding, but she had an unspeakable charm.

At this time, she was wearing a dark red padded jacket with a dark scarf around her neck, and she was quite clean.

"Aunt Nan." Bai Chen greeted her.

Aunt Nan glanced at everyone in the "Old Tune Group", without asking anything, pointed to the end of the corridor on the second floor and said:

"Your rooms are the two innermost ones. If you encounter problems, you can jump into the yard or into the street.

"The key is on the door."

Jiang Baimian looked at the scarf around Aunt Nan's neck, piled up a smile and said:

"Thank you."

"It's not for nothing." Aunt Nan pursed her lips and smiled, "Two rooms, one 500-gram military can every day, I hope you will not owe the debt in the end."

Jiang Baimian said briskly:

"Don't worry, I really can't afford it. I'll let them find something to do."

She was referring to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.

Aunt Nan smiled indifferently and said:

"In Wild Grass City, the competition for relic hunters is fierce.

"Sometimes, they even take on the task of helping people deliver lunch and dinner."

She paused and added:

"The toilet and bathroom are on the other side, so you can see them at the end.

"If you want to take a bath and are afraid of the cold, you'd better choose from 12:12 to 6:7 in the afternoon, and from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening. At these times, we have just cooked, and there is enough hot water in the empty wall of the stove, which can be directly pressed. Come up and use it, hehe, save it. If you miss these two points, you have to put water in the water heater, boil it with electricity, and then adjust it to the appropriate temperature with cold water.

"Well, it's winter now, the water is not sufficient, and the living area is only powered for five hours a day. It is from 11:1 to 5:8 at noon, and from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening. Calculate the time yourself."

For Aunt Nan's reminder, Long Yuehong and the others were not surprised at all. After all, the energy supply inside "Panga Biology" was even stricter than this, and it was all a quota system.

"If we use electricity to boil water by ourselves, do we need to pay extra?" Jiang Baimian knew that Bai Chen might not be so easy to speak, so he took the initiative to take the responsibility of bargaining.

Aunt Nan glanced at Bai Chen:

"Four times a can.

"If you want us to prepare your meals, you have to tell in advance."

After confirming the details, Jiang Baimian bid farewell to Aunt Nan, and walked to the room along the cold corridor with light shining at both ends.

The two doors stood facing each other, painted with dark red paint, with certain signs of damage, giving people a very old feeling.

The layout inside the house is the same: a bunk bed, a table next to the window, a wooden cabinet with traces of insects, and two square stools.

Because of the climate and environment here, the air is slightly humid, and the coldness seems to be able to pass through the clothes and penetrate into the bone marrow.

"It's still the old rule." Jiang Baimian pulled out the brass-colored key of the room next to the street, "I share the room with Shang Jianyao, and the two of you share the same room."

She had to watch Shang Jianyao herself to prevent this guy from having a twitch and do something.

For example, turn on the speaker to disturb the people late at night.

For example, if you hear movement on the street, jump out of the window to "participate".

And Bai Chen obviously couldn't deal with Shang Jianyao.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to speak, Jiang Baimian turned his wrist and looked at the digital watch:

"There are still 10 minutes to 12:30, everyone hurry up to take a combat bath, change clothes, then go out for dinner and contact intelligence agents."

Compared with mechanical watches, she prefers electronic watches because they have more functions.

Today, all the members of the "Old Tune Team" are well-trained. They took only 2 minutes to take a bath, and changed into clothes that are closer to ordinary relic hunters and wild grass city civilians:

Shang Jianyao’s upper body is a set of dark blue short down jacket, the fabric is a little old, but the overall is not so dry, the lower body is a pair of thicker pants made of blue denim, which have little effect on movement;

Long Yuehong was wrapped in a black padded jacket that reached his thighs; Jiang Baimian was the same style as him; Bai Chen was a gray windbreaker just covering the belt.

Their pants are similar to those of Shang Jianyao.Men wear brown high-top leather shoes, while women wear black ankle boots.

——These are the benefits that the company gives to employees who need to go to the surface to perform tasks in winter.

"Hide your pistols." Bai Chen pulled the scarf around her neck and reminded, "In Wild Grass City, there is a rather strange prohibition, that is 'Don't let patrols see your weapons'."

The ones in the gun shop don't count.

"Not prohibited, but not allowed to be seen by the patrols?" Long Yuehong asked in surprise.

"Yes." Bai Chen nodded, "The first time I see you, I will confiscate your weapons. The second time I see you, I will imprison you for a month. The third time I see you, I will imprison you for three months, and then I will be expelled from the city." , and declared as persona non grata, which will also lead to the deduction of the Hunter Guild's credit points."

"It's strange, wouldn't it be enough to simply ban guns?" Long Yuehong said that she couldn't understand.

Like "Pangaea", there is a clear ban on guns.

"I don't know why." Bai Chen replied calmly.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"In many places, there are similar bans that feel strange, and each of these bans has deep historical reasons."

"Why is Wild Grass City?" Long Yuehong asked.

Jiang Baimian gave him a white look:

"I don't know either. Hope to find out later.

"It's a pleasure to dig like this."

In fact, she has some guesses, but it's hard to say if she's not sure.

After talking about this topic, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao who was frantically hinting at his stomach, and said with a smile:

"Let's go out and eat."

Hearing these words, Shang Jianyao turned around first, and walked along the cold corridor to the stairs.

After going down to the parking yard, Bai Chen pointed to the jeep:

"I have to exchange things for coins."

"How to change it?" Long Yuehong always asked when she didn't understand, she was a qualified and good student.

"Go to the municipal building, there is a row of 'exchange windows', where you can exchange different materials for local money. If you are not afraid of trouble and have acquaintances, you can go to the Hunter's Guild or bars, teahouses, nightclubs, and find underground markets to exchange. It will be more cost-effective. A little." Bai Chen explained briefly, "In Wild Grass City, within the sphere of influence of the 'Original City', all transactions on the surface can only use their coins."

"That's it..." Long Yuehong suddenly had some expectations for the next thing, because it was something he had never experienced before, and it was very fresh.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"Let's go to the exchange window. Before contacting the company's intelligence personnel, it's best not to have any contact with the underground forces here."

Bai Chen had no objection, pointing to the remaining cans, energy bars and compressed biscuits, said:

"How much?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Baimian always respected the judgment of "authoritative people".

"Half." Bai Chen replied without hesitation, "The value of the coins here will fluctuate from time to time. It's safer to keep more supplies on hand."

"Volatility?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.

Bai Chen casually replied:

"The smallest denomination of coins in the 'Original City' is Cass, followed by Drace, and the largest is called Ole.

"Under normal circumstances, in terms of purchasing materials, one contribution point of the company is equal to about two si, and 1 si is equal to 10 si, and 1 o is equal to 10 si, um, that is to say, 1 o can buy 1 catty of raw pork, but there are Sometimes, you can only buy eight taels, and sometimes, you can buy two taels a catty, or more.”
