Last Totem Novel - Chapter 219
Chapter 219 Old Gun
The explosive weapons section of the gun shop was dazzling and dazzling, causing Tie Zha to be dazzled. All kinds of grenades were wrapped in oil paper and encapsulated in cedar boxes. Among them are fragmented grenades, vibrating grenades, incendiary grenades and some special-purpose drop-type ammunition, such as flashballs, smoke/bombs, long-lasting flares, etc. However, visual interference weapons such as flashballs and smoke/bombs do nothing to colony ant insects because they can identify their surroundings through odor and ultrasonic feedback, in addition to their eyes. Releasing flash bombs and smoke/bombs will undoubtedly only cause trouble for humans themselves.
Looking at a long-lasting illumination flare that tore open the package, Tie Zha couldn’t help but recall a few days ago when the nest ambushed the queen. If they could throw one out, their operation would be much smoother. After all, the beam of light from the flashlight was relatively narrow and had to be aimed at the target.
Then, his gaze shifted to the right and he saw boxes of green metal-encapsulated blocks painted with the black word C-4.
“What is this?” Tie Zha pointed at the block and asked the shopping guide.
‘”Hello, sir. This is C-4 plastic/explosive. After removing the package, it can be squeezed into any shape. It also adheres firmly to the object like chewing gum. It has the characteristics of strong pressure resistance, squeezing, waterproofing and high safety. Pure high temperature and flame will not cause it to explode automatically.” “There are many ways to detonate C-4 plastic/explosives, either by inserting a timed fuse or by triggering an explosion by remote control or electric current,” the shopping guide explained in detail. “It is very powerful and is mainly used to destroy buildings or underground works.”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded politely, then turned around and continued to watch the other explosive weapons. On the side of the C-4 explosive was a series of rocket launchers. They varied in size, from large dark green cylinders about two meters long with small handles and thick bowls, to short spear-shaped cylinders about a meter long with rockets bare at the front, to long cylinders with large racks and sophisticated guidance systems similar to those of Greene’s heavy machine guns; Apart from that, there were more than a dozen rocket launchers of various shapes.
Tie Zha looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked, “How much is it?”
“Sir, which one are you referring to?” The female shopping guide nodded and asked.
“Tell me about it.” Tie Zha said casually.
“There are several military/fireworks products here. Under the same model, RC’s company has high accuracy, Harley’s industry is powerful, Wilderness Heavy Industries and Central and Western Heavy Industries have stable performance, and Great Wall’s price is cheap.” The female shopping guide explained.
“Which one do you recommend?” Tie Zha asked.
“The Great Wall Company’s’ Iron Blind ‘. This bazooka is powerful and relatively cheap. It only requires 12 gold and can be filled multiple times. The only drawback is that there are occasionally one or two duds and the failure rate is one in two thousand.”
“What about the prices and failure rates of other companies?” Tie Zha asked.
“RC’s model costs 22 gold coins, and the failure rate is 60,000 gold coins. Harley’s model costs 26 gold coins, and the failure rate is 27,000 gold coins. The three major heavy industries’ model costs 16 gold coins, and the failure rate is 5,000 gold coins.” The female shopping guide concluded, “In comparison, Great Wall has the best value for money.”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded again and left the Blasting Weapons Area without saying a word, arriving at the firearms area. At this moment, his brows furrowed, and he was wondering if he could equip the Marines with rockets to deal with large swarms of insects or human mecha. In the exchange center of the Central Silver City Military Academy, bazookas were not something good to buy. As the Alliance of Academies has been committed to upholding the Convention against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, it advocates only mecha-armoured rockets and does not advocate the carrying of heavy weapons by individual soldiers. In the tactical theory of the Academy Alliance, the role of the marines was only to protect the enemies close to the mecha, not the main source of firepower.
As he thought about it, Iron Slag raised his eyes to look. There were countless types of firearms in this area, and almost none of them were duplicated. At this moment, he looked a little excited. Sometimes he looked to the left and sometimes he touched the right. CSUM’s Exchange Center did not have so many different kinds of firearms. The firearms here range from low-end to high-end, from imitations of ancient firearms to modern improved models. Looking at it, Tie Zha’s eyes suddenly lit up. He rushed forward and picked up a white rectangular box-shaped gun, and began to play with it.
“Hello, sir. This is a shell-less rifle G11B2. It is a fourth-generation replica of the ancient G11. Its theoretical firing speed can reach 5,000 rounds per minute. From pulling the trigger to firing a magazine of 200 shell-less rounds, it only takes 2.6 seconds to 2.7 seconds. It is a sharp weapon for close range battles.” The female shopping guide patiently introduced. Although she was on the verge of impatience, she still maintained a professional smile. Because of this person’s calm temperament and calm attitude, he did not look like a nobody. But then again, after this person entered the door, he looked around and didn’t have any intention of buying weapons at all. It was more like he was playing with her. Normally, she would encounter this kind of nasty customer. They didn’t know how to buy anything, so they lied to her and ran around foolishly behind her buttocks. In the end, their mouths were dry and their tongues were dry, and they couldn’t even talk about a small business.
At this moment, the shop assistant noticed that the customer was carrying a long sword and two guns on her back. Her eyes immediately lit up and she stepped forward and said, “Sir, do you need to maintain and refit your weapon?” Without waiting for Tie Zha to reply, she looked at the two-barrel shotgun behind her and continued to recommend, “The store has hired a respected grandmaster-level firearm master to provide the best refurbishment service for your beloved gun.”
“Is that so?” Tie Zha turned around and asked with wide eyes.
“It’s just …” The female shopping guide hesitated for a moment and said with some misgivings, “Master Ya’s price is a little expensive. I don’t know about you …” Before she could finish her sentence, a card that emitted a faint golden glow appeared in front of her.
“Ah … what is this?” “Did you accidentally fall into the fire?”
“Call your store manager out.” Tie Zha put away the card and said indifferently.
“He’s not here” The female shopping guide answered truthfully.
‘”This” Tie Zha scratched his hair depressingly. It didn’t have the desired effect, only the unexpected awkwardness. The people here didn’t recognize the Stardust Black/Card.
“Wait a moment. I’ll ask Master Ya to come out and take a look at your firearms first.” Seeing this, the female shopping guide hurriedly said. Even if she didn’t understand the meaning behind the card, she knew that it was not a mortal. After all, she had worked as a shopping guide for quite some time, so she would still be able to make a basic observation. She could tell some clues from the subtle reactions of her customers. She subconsciously felt that something that could emit a faint light must be something priceless.
A moment later, the shopping guide brought an old man in a grey robe out from behind the counter and walked to Tie Zha’s side.
“Old Cang Haiya, your ancestral home is from the Far East. I greet you here, Your Excellency.” The grey-robed old man cupped his fists and nodded at Tie Zha.
“I am Tie … Sa Jia Qi, team leader of CSUM from War Bear Temple in the Far East.” Tie Zha nodded and said.
‘”So you’re from the Far East” The old man stroked his white beard as he stared at Tie Zha. “Not bad, not bad. No wonder people say that heroes have grown up since ancient times. We need more young people like you in the Far East. We can be strong in the near future.”
Seeing the old man’s calm expression and praising the young man in front of her without any hesitation, the female shopping guide secretly spat. When she heard about the other party’s card just now, she was so frightened that she could not even stand firmly.
Tie Zha would never be modest. No matter how much others praised him, he would always accept everything on his own. He would not feel embarrassed at all. Without another word, he took off the two-barrel shotgun and handed it over.
The old man took the shotgun with both hands, took out a pair of glasses and put them on. After examining them carefully for a moment, he said, “Good fellow, the replica of Browning Chitoli’s two-barreled hunting gun is really a famous gun of the generation.” Looking at the barrel covered with countless scratches, the old man asked thoughtfully, “Young man, this gun … has probably been there for more than 30 years?”
Tie Zha shook his head, not knowing what kind of gun the old man was talking about, including Browning. Following that, the old man picked up his gun and folded the cartridge cabin with a “Kacha” sound, carefully observing it. After a while, he closed the gun and sighed, “Judging from the maintenance of the gun, you are a real gun lover …” The old man nodded and repeated, “Very good, very good …”
“Recently, I feel that the trigger is a little loose. Master, can you fix it?” Said Tie Zha.
“This” The old man pondered for a moment and suggested, “This gun is too old. The parts have already stopped production. I think …” The old man paused for a moment, stroked his beard and sighed. “Let him retire …”
“This is father’s only relic. Please do your best, elder. Thank you!” As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Zha clasped his fists, nodded and bowed deeply to the old man.
The old man stared at the old hunting rifle and caressed the mottled rifle. He pondered for a long time. In the end, his beard trembled and he said forcefully, “Alright! Let this old man do everything in his power to let him shine again.” The old man gripped the gun tightly and said boldly, “I will grind all the missing parts for you bit by bit!”
“Thank you so much!” Tie Zha cupped his fists and nodded again. Old Man Tie’s spear had accompanied him through the most difficult years, through the endless sea of sand, through the end of the world …
In the future, this gun would accompany him and travel through every corner of the world.
The old man picked up the two-barrel shotgun in his hand again and carefully examined it for a while. Then, he said, “This old man needs a month. Please wait patiently.”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
Next, after seeing the old man return to his inner room, Tie Zha looked at the female shopping guide and said seriously, “I need to order 50 Great Wall iron bladders, 100 fragmented grenades, 20 flash bombs, 20 long-lasting flares, 10 boxes of C-4 explosives …”
The female shopping guide was stunned for a moment, then she took out a pen and paper that was pinned to her waist and carefully recorded it.
“Send it to the Wolf Legion in the Academy Alliance camp.”
‘”Okay ~” When the female shopping guide remembered the address and raised her head again, the young man’s figure had already disappeared from the door …
