The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 84 Firearms
"Okay, I'll check the goods first."

Zhang Famao did not bargain.

Seeing this, the courier took out another box from the bus and handed it to Zhang Famao.

Huo Ying originally wanted to leave, but Zhang Famao did not avoid suspicion, or deliberately did not avoid Huo Ying, and opened the box in front of Huo Ying.

The next second, Huo Ying stopped. He saw the pistol in the box. It was the special one used by the gun girl.

The pistol has a thick barrel and a wide magazine.

Zhang Famao checked it again and again, then looked up at the courier and said, "Why is this gun broken?"

"Nonsense, who would sell the special weapons of the research institute if they are good enough?" The courier found that Zhang Famo didn't understand, and explained: "Ordinary weapons are controlled, and special weapons are of course more strictly controlled. Only scrapped weapons have a chance to enter the market. Besides, you buy weapons for research, so you will break the good ones. The broken ones are actually good quality and cheap."

Zhang Zhanhong took a breath and said, "The price will double. How can it be good quality and cheap?"

The courier stiffened his neck and said: "You can't buy good ones. I am not good quality and cheap."

Huo Ying listened at the side without saying a word, but just looked at the courier thoughtfully. It seemed that he had to change the evaluation he had just given to the courier. He did not have a bottom line for everyone. Perhaps it was because he made too much profit from him that the courier treated him so well just now.

However, Huo Ying didn't care. Charcoal and the like were inexhaustible. He didn't mind spending some money and letting the courier serve him better.

Zhang Famao fiddled with the special gun over and over again, and finally asked tentatively: "Can it be cheaper? I just came to Ailing Town and haven't established myself yet. If it's too high, I can't give it to you."

The courier reached out and snatched the weapon from Zhang Famo's hand: "The trader is selling the charcoal because he is in urgent need of it. As you know, the rainy season is here. Big cities are more dangerous than your Ailing Town. Rain ghosts will appear. Charcoal is a weapon to deal with rain ghosts. If it weren't for this critical moment, the trader would rather spend money to repair the gun than sell it."

The Rain Ghost only appears during heavy rains. Its body is made of water and is transparent, so it is difficult to see it clearly in the rain. The Rain Ghost always approaches humans silently and attacks them. Conventional weapons, including Yang Stone, Poplar Wood Flame, etc., are useless against the Rain Ghost. Even if it is broken up and dried up, it can condense again as long as there is rain.

The danger can only be resolved by attacking the rain ghost with charcoal made from poplar wood and using the purifying power of charcoal to purify the rain ghost like purifying stream water.

To be precise, the rain ghost is not that scary, but it consumes resources extremely well because there are simply not enough poplar trees. During the rainy season, even though the fellow boatmen in XN City repeatedly warn everyone to stay indoors, many people still need to go out to find food and die outside.

The information about Yu Gui was given to Huo Ying by the courier during the last transaction. Most of the information was about mutated creatures after infection, and some common weird things, such as factory monsters and mirror ghosts, which were not included in the information.

"It's not just big cities that have rain ghosts. The rainy season is here, and we also need charcoal." Zhang Famao was in a dilemma. No one knew how rain ghosts were born, but rain ghosts' food was humans. There were many humans in big cities, so there would be more rain ghosts born, and the chance of encountering a rain ghost when going out was greater.

In a small city, especially a town like Ailing where there aren't many people, one or two rain ghosts would be considered a lot. "How much charcoal do we need?" Huo Ying suddenly asked.

Zhang Famao didn't say anything. He felt embarrassed because there was a lot of charcoal missing.

The courier's eyes lit up. He wanted to make this deal happen. Only in this way could he get a commission. "I still need a hundred kilograms. Do you want to lend it to him? Zhang Famao is a very trustworthy person. I have traded with him many times in the last town. He has skills. If you don't rush, he will definitely pay you back."

Huo Ying nodded, then took a few steps back and called Zhang and his son aside.

"What's the point of buying a scrapped gun like this?"

Zhang Famao hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly: "You know, I can make Yangshi weapons. Now, my son and I have developed Yangshi bullets. Of course, they are definitely much worse than the technology of the Research Institute. However, ordinary people can't get the bullets of the Research Institute. There are not enough for the soldiers of the investigation team."

"But we can't get guns. Bullets are easy to make, but guns are too difficult to make." Zhang Famao explained: "Homemade guns won't work. Homemade guns have low accuracy and rely on explosive power. They're fine for killing people, but if they kill ghosts, it will disperse the Yang power contained in the bullets. So, only finely crafted firearms can be used."

"If you have a gun, you can make bullets?" Huo Ying was surprised. He realized now that this father and son, one was good at hot weapons and the other was good at cold weapons. No wonder they could survive in the destroyed town.

"Of course not." Zhang Famao smiled awkwardly: "It's impossible to create it out of thin air, but I found a few special gun shells in our town. With the shells, I can imitate and make Yangshi bullets for special guns."

Huo Ying understood that the bullet shell should be left by the battle that took place when the gun girl was in the small town. At that time, in the civic center, the gun girl also fired special bullets at him. Those bullets were very large, more like small missiles. It can be seen that the special gun is extremely powerful.

"I will exchange the special gun for you, and after studying it for a while, I will be able to repair it. Then I can repair and reload the shell, and I will be able to put together a special gun to deal with the weirdness." The more Zhang Famao explained, the more guilty he felt. After the gun was developed, he would definitely not sell it. He would keep it for himself. Therefore, even if Huo Ying lent him charcoal, he didn't know what to give in return.

"I have a rifle and rifle bullets, not a special gun. Can you change the rifle bullets into Yangshi bullets?" Huo Ying had killed a team of expellers before. In addition to the ones given to Zhang Yuqi, he also kept a rifle and several boxes of bullets for himself. Because the rifle is useless against corpse ghosts, he did not give them to Liang Yao for self-defense. If Zhang Famo can make Yangshi bullets, Liang Yao will have a gun and a crossbow, and her safety will be improved.

"Yes, it will be less powerful than special weapons, but I can make it!" Zhang Famao was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that things would turn around: "Brother, lend me the charcoal and I will make rifle bullets for you. If it weren't for your help, I would definitely not be able to exchange for a gun. So, if you need to add bullets to your rifle in the future, I will waive the labor fee and you can just pay for the materials!"

"Deal." Huo Ying didn't bother to think about whether it was cost-effective or not, as long as it was useful now: "Wait for me, I'll go get the charcoal."

Huo Ying pretended to leave and saw more people walking towards the road. There were five people in total, Luna and her daughter on one side and Huo Zhaohui's family on the other.

The next second, Huo Ying noticed that the eyes of these five people were fixed on him. He passed by the five people without changing his expression. Huo Ying frowned. Luna might have discovered that he could promote the growth of plants, but what was wrong with Huo Zhaohui's family? Why were they staring at him?
