“The people of Odokoa City are really full of martial virtue!”

Manolin, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, sighed as he looked at an armored bus.

He remembered that there was a joke in his previous life that the American school bus had a machine gun installed at the rear to mock the American security environment.

But in this world’s Odokoa City, this joke came true.

The armored bus that Manolin’s convoy just passed by was the school bus of this city.

This school bus can be said to be quite outrageous.

Not only is the entire vehicle covered with heavy armor, but observation windows and shooting holes are set up in the position where the glass was originally.

It is also crazy to arrange heavy machine guns on the front, rear and roof of the vehicle body.

Manolin also carefully discovered that these heavy machine guns have some specious similarities with the weapons he sold.

It is obvious that these weapons are knockoffs of his weapons and are considered new weapons.

Manolin looked around at the pedestrians around him again, which made him even more speechless.

The people here either carried long or short weapons directly, or had weapons bulging around their waists and chests. It was obvious that no one in this city went out without a gun.

"It is rumored that the children in Audokoa City learned to shoot before they learned to walk. This can't be true, right?"

Manolin complained after seeing a child carrying a gun into the school bus.

"Mr. Manolin, this place is too..."

Cosimo, who was driving the truck, was also quite speechless.

They came from the "peaceful" Gran City, where at most they encountered some gangsters who robbed with knives.

Here, everyone carried a gun, most of the vehicles had been modified, and even gunshots were heard from time to time in the distance.

Gran City, where people could only travel together at night, is simply a model city with good public security here.

Manolin picked up the communicator and said to everyone in the convoy:

"Everyone stay alert to prevent accidents."

But his words were obviously a bit redundant. Everyone in the convoy was so nervous when they saw the situation here. How could they relax their vigilance?

In this way, the group passed through the city and came to the "safe zone" where the rich lived.

Although this is a safe zone, it is only in relative terms.

In addition to more armed security patrols, the difference from ordinary urban areas is that there are fewer homeless people.

In general, the pedestrians here still carry weapons and look nervous.

The buildings here are also quite "characteristic".

Unlike manors and villas in other places, the houses where the rich live here are all bunkers.

There are some barrels of heavy machine guns sticking out of the shooting holes on each bunker.

Manolin couldn't help thinking that if Huang Silang's bunker had this defense, it would be troublesome for Zhang Mazi to attack.

Soon the convoy stopped in front of a bunker.

This is the residence of a mineral merchant provided by Bradrick.

Manolin first asked most people to wait in the car, and then got off the car with several security guards.

The on-duty personnel of the bunker were obviously very vigilant when they saw the fully armed security guards.

"We are here to find the mineral merchant Baldwin Harrington to purchase minerals."

"Here is the letter of introduction."

Manolin stuffed the letter of introduction given to him by Bradrick into the observation space of the bunker.

"Please wait, I will inform the boss immediately."

Hearing that Manolin and his group were here to purchase minerals, Baldwin's men naturally did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly took the letter of introduction to inform the boss.

When Manolin returned to the car and waited for almost ten minutes, the iron gate of the bunker slowly rose in the sound of the steam engine.

Because the vehicles in the convoy were too large, and the people in the bunker did not dare to let too many people in, Manolin only took several negotiators headed by Troloff and Benjamin and others into the bunker.

After entering the bunker, Manolin saw a hall with several armored vehicles parked in front of him.

Manolin did not smell any moldy smell in the fully enclosed hall. It was obvious that the ventilation measures of this bunker were quite good.

"Dear Mr. Manolin and everyone, I am the butler of Mr. Baldwin. Please follow me."

An old man standing in the hall said to Manolin and his group.

In Manolin's perception, this ordinary old man was actually a mid-level extraordinary person, which made him feel that this businessman still had some power.

In Gran City, it was good for ordinary businessmen to have a few low-level extraordinary people under their command.

Having extraordinary people above the mid-level means that this businessman has considerable power.

...

Under the leadership of the old man, everyone passed through the winding corridors and stairs, came to the top floor of the bunker.

The environment here has changed from the dark and cold just now to a little gentle - in other words, the sun can shine here.

At this time, a somewhat wealthy old man was sitting at the table drinking tea.

When he saw Manolin and his party coming, he stood up to greet them.

"You are Mr. Manolin, right? I have heard of your name for a long time."

The old man's words were not lying. After all, the weapons made by Manolin's arsenal are really very famous.

Even he, a businessman far away in Audokoa City, has several weapons produced by Manolin's arsenal.

"Haha! My reputation is not worth mentioning, but you can be mentioned by Bradrick, so the scale of your business must not be small."

"..."

After some politeness, Bartlett began to discuss the purchase of ore with the old man.

As for Manolin, he knew his business level well, so he drank tea and watched the show quietly beside him.

For Manolin, professional matters should be left to professionals. If he gets involved now, it will be useless and may even make things worse.

After Bartlett and Baldwin officially started discussing business matters, the atmosphere on the field changed.

Baldwin also changed his gentle attitude just now and started a verbal battle with Bartlett.

At this time, Baldwin had some of the stereotypes of businessmen in Manolin's impression - stingy, penny-pinching, and greedy.

Of course, this is understandable, after all, business is business.

If Baldwin was a guy who didn't pursue profit, he wouldn't do business in this dangerous city of Audokoa, even if he lived in a bunker.

After all, if the money in his hand was exchanged to the city of Elliot Federation, he and his descendants would enjoy several lifetimes, so why stay in this dangerous place?
