Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 395 Shopping
It was the first time that Shanying saw such a large gun store, or rather a comprehensive outdoor goods store, in real life.

A wall that is nearly 40 meters long and about 4 meters high is hung with guns!
For each major category of guns on the wall, there are several large solid wood shelves on the front, filled with various models of guns.

There is no lock, no leash, and except for the lack of a magazine, you can take the gun off and look at it and play with it at will.

The types of many gun mountain eagles here can only be judged by their appearance, but he doesn’t recognize many brands.

What impressed Shanying the most was the guns on the wall that were obviously not for sale. They were arranged from top to bottom according to model and year...

It's like when you go to a 4S store, you can not only see the model you want to buy, but also see the old models of this model, and learn about the development history of this car.

All the guns that can actually be sold are on the shelves, and Shanying only roughly estimated that there are nearly 2000 guns of various types on the shelves of this gun store.

What shocked Shanying the most was not the gun, but the hill of bullets piled up like discounted toilet paper in a supermarket.

There are 4 pyramids of bullets in this store, built with boxes of bullets on a base that is 4 meters long, 80 meters wide and 15 centimeters high.

Dozens of large floor-standing frames are placed around each bullet pyramid, and various magazines are placed in the frames like cabbages for people to choose from. Moreover, these magazines will never have grooves in the middle to limit the number of bullets that can be loaded like in other states.

Seeing the locals in the market pushing shopping carts and taking their wives and children to buy various weapons and ammunition as if they were shopping in a supermarket, Shanying's view of Alaska changed again...

Because all he heard was adults teaching children what kind of prey to use with weapons of different calibers...

Some people were talking about killing a black bear that was causing trouble at their doorstep...

Some of them bought the ammunition they wanted and were excitedly discussing how many reindeer they would hunt this year to make it easier for the winter...

Shotguns are the mainstream in Alaska. People here buy shotguns to fight against nature and fill their stomachs at the same time.

Guns are almost a necessity for Alaskans!

And the gun laws here are incredibly lax…

For example, U.S. federal law stipulates that automatic weapons produced after 1986 cannot be put on the market for sale, and ordinary people cannot buy them.

Alaska does not have such a regulation, but they do not sell automatic weapons of any kind in order to respect federal law.

But this store has openly set aside an area where it places all kinds of modified accessories, and even has someone to provide technical guidance to help you turn a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic rifle.

No one around found it strange. Even the fat man Redick greeted the guys who were responsible for helping with the modification, and then pointed in the direction of Shanying and the others.

Shanying didn't rush to buy a gun, but walked around this huge outdoor goods store...

There is really everything from fish hooks to fishing boats, from flints to chainsaws, from underwear to jackets, from nail clippers to axes...

This is the kind of store a man should shop in, and even guys like the butcher linger a little in the tool section.

Seeing the butcher holding a one-handed axe with great interest, Shanying waved his hand and shouted, "Buy it, it's my treat!"

These outdoor tools are actually available in the Shanying system, and the quality is definitely excellent, but the appearance is relatively uniform and military style.

Who can afford to buy a pair of knives or clothes that they like if they have enough money?

Compared to the butcher's stinginess, the moment Daria heard the boss say the word "treat", it was as if some mechanism was activated, and she pushed her shopping cart into the outdoor clothing area.

Shanying is not very interested in those things, but he can't let go of all kinds of exquisite outdoor stoves...

Perhaps it is because men are born with a love for setting fires, or it may be because a Chinese person is obsessed with drinking a hot soup outdoors, so he is very fond of various exquisite stoves and camp pots.

For mountain eagles, going camping for a long time without a pot is like going out to a disco without wearing underwear!
Just as he was lingering among various exquisite and compact folding wood-burning stoves and kitchen utensils, he unexpectedly discovered the Huaguo 78 kettle that had long been eliminated.

The outer layer can serve as a lunch box or a small pot, and the inside is a kettle.

This design is not new, but Shanying believes that its practicality is absolutely first-class.

It is very convenient to boil water in the outer pot and pour it into the kettle.

Or you can add some compressed vegetables and water to make a pot of vegetable soup. If you add some noodles, it will be absolutely delicious in the wild.

Just as Shanying was struggling with how to choose these small items, a hoarse voice sounded from behind him...

"As a wealthy guest, all you need is a tent, a sleeping bag, a moisture-proof mat, a good gun, and a good knife. Everything else should be prepared by the guide."

Shanying was stunned for a moment, and looked back, and unexpectedly found that the old man who had a meal with him appeared behind him...

Shanying looked around subconsciously, then pointed at his nose and said, "Are you talking to me?"

The old man nodded slightly and said, "If you are the rich Chinese man who went hunting despite being threatened by the gang, then I am talking to you."

After hearing this, Shanying frowned and looked at the energetic old man in front of him, and said, "Are you the hunting guide that Redick wants to introduce to me?
I thought you were a hot dog vendor..."

Shanying looked the old man up and down, shook his head and said, "I have no prejudice against older people, but aren't you a little too old?"

The old man spread his hands and said, “Young man, in Alaska, experience is the most important thing.

I am the best hunter in Fairbanks and the best hunting guide you can find on short notice.

You only need to spend 40 yuan now to hire a hunter with 40 years of solo hunting experience and a fisherman with years of experience as a guide.

Compared to those luxury safaris that cost over $100,000, you got a bargain!"

The mountain eagle looked around and said, "Where is the fisherman you mentioned?"

The old man pointed to a local native wearing waterproof overalls and selecting fishing nets at the door of a store in the distance, and said with a smile: "Quida is a water herder of the Yukon River. Every year he can catch the biggest cod and salmon. No one knows the Yukon River better than him.

If his boat hadn’t been damaged, he would never have agreed to let Redick be your boatman…”

The old man stretched out his hand to the mountain eagle and said with a smile: "I am Joe, Joe Morgan, you can call me Old Joe.

If you agree to let me be your guide, I will contact the plane and the ship...

Redick said that if you can leave Anchorage alive, his two nephews will join your team, and I need to make plans early. "I don't know why, but this old man makes Shanying feel very reliable. He thought for a while and said, "Can you still run now?"

Old Joe smiled slightly on his wrinkled face and said, "You should not be thinking about my problem now, but write down the prey you want on a piece of paper and pray to God that you can keep up with my daily plan."

As he spoke, Old Joe looked at the disapproving Eagle and said with a smile, “Boy, this is Alaska, a wild place.

If you think that you can thrive here just because you have some military training, you are wrong.

If you want to have a good hunting vacation, you have to respect the opinion of an old hunter."

Shanying nodded slightly and said, "You know there are gangsters looking for trouble with me, why don't you look scared at all?"

Old Joe smiled and lifted up his shirt, revealing the M1911 pistol on his waist, and said, "In Alaska, no one will make things difficult for an old man who has been hunting for 40 years.

Because no one wants to be his prey!"

Shanying glanced at Redick who was looking at him not far away, and said with his hands spread out: "Well, it looks like I have no choice..."

Shanying stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lao Qiao, saying, "Do you need me to pay you a deposit?
By the way, I would like to ask you to give me some advice on what I should bring when I go out into the wild."

After hearing this, Old Joe shook his head and said, “Quetta and I need 20,000 yuan in commission, and you can give it to me after we finish.

But before that, you need to pay another $2...

I need to rent a plane and a boat that can keep me safe on the Yukon River now..."

As he spoke, Old Joe glanced at Dalia, who had already bought a cart of clothes and supplies. He shook his head and said, "Besides the ones I told you before, you can buy whatever else you want. They will all stay on the ship in the end anyway."

Shanying recalled what Lao Qiao had just said...

A tent, a sleeping bag, a moisture-proof mat, a good gun, a good knife...

Thinking about the old man's behavior and the sloppy appearance of the aboriginal fisherman at the door, Shanying decided to treat it as the old man farting.

Shanying has his own mission, but he is not here to seek trouble!
Since we have both a plane and a boat, of course we should take anything we might need.

While being prepared for any eventuality, you can also have a source for things that may pop up at any time!
Seeing Old Joe reaching out his hand, Shanying said nothing more and simply took out two stacks of hundred-dollar bills and stuffed them into Old Joe's hand...

Old Joe fiddled with the two stacks of bills, then put them in front of his nose and sniffed them. He smiled and said, "I like guys like you. I was a little skeptical about whether you could get out of Anchorage, but now I think you can."

Old Joe pointed to a counter selling wild food and said with a smile, "I remember you have a good dog, remember to buy a few bags of dog food and bring it with you.

Be careful and don't get yourself hurt. See you in three days!"

Shanying was amused by the old man's tone...

"Did you think at first that if I died, you would make 2 for nothing, which would be a good deal?"

Old Joe said as if it was a matter of course: "I didn't ask you to pay the commission in advance, I just asked you to pay for the cost of renting a vehicle. Isn't it your problem that you can't go?"

Shanying was choked and stunned, and then he actually felt that what the old man said made some sense, and it was him who was a little pretentious...

Looking at the old man's self-righteous expression, he smacked his lips and hesitated for a long time, but finally swallowed back the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Old Qiao looked at the strange expression on Shanying's face. He suddenly smiled and said, "I'm optimistic about you..."

He pointed at the piles of bullets and said, "Remember to buy more shotgun bullets of various calibers.

If you want to go on a long tour of the Alaskan interior, you need to make friends with the locals, and there is no better gift than bullets. "

Finally hearing some less official advice from Old Joe, Shanying nodded with satisfaction and said, "No problem, I really want to learn more about the lives of the local indigenous people. This is also part of the meaning of traveling, don't you think?"

Old Joe didn't think there was anything worth understanding about the hard life of the indigenous people. He pointed in the direction of Sheriff Redick and said, "You can now concentrate on your own safety..."

As Old Joe turned around, he said, "Don't just think about the gun. Sometimes bear spray is more useful than a gun!"

Shanying watched Old Joe walk to the door of the store, and after meeting the sloppy aboriginal captain, they chatted and laughed while choosing a fishing net...

He could only comfort himself that an old man who took 20,000 yuan from him and whose attitude was not very good should have some skills.

Looking at those exquisite outdoor products again, Shanying suddenly felt that they were not so attractive. He called the butcher and Dalia, asked for their opinions, and finally found Redick who had been waiting for a long time...

Then, accompanied by the sheriff, he completed his first weapons purchase in America at this outdoor goods store.

Three .22 caliber Ruger shotguns, two .375 large-caliber Remington 700 shotguns, a Marlin lever-action rifle using .45-70 ammunition, and a Remington pump-action shotgun.

In addition to the guns mentioned above that are used for hunting, Shanying also purchased a Benelli M2 shotgun, three UMP45 submachine guns, three AK-105s, and three CZ75 series pistols...

Redick thought that Eagle had bought the guns he needed and that was the end of it, but he didn't expect that Eagle also purchased a large number of magazines, bullets, and so many gun accessories that even he, the old sheriff, found puzzling.

What surprised Redick the most was that Mountain Eagle was very calm about the restriction that he could only buy semi-automatic rifles. Even when he hinted that he could ask the gun shop to provide modification services, he remained indifferent.

Shanying could probably sense what Redick was thinking, but he had no intention of explaining. Instead, he happily enjoyed shopping.

The guns in the store didn’t matter to him, not even the quality or the quality…

Because he purchased 30 kilograms of gold today in order to improve the firepower structure of his team.

In the past he only considered his own problems, but now he wants to include the needs of the Butcher and Dalia into the manufacturing scope of the Master Chief system.

The bulk goods in the store are just a trick, Shanying needs to build his own team to equip firepower...

No matter who you are, I will treat you as the big boss and beat you up. After that, the police will be responsible for cleaning up the mess.

If Redick knew what the Eagles were thinking, he would definitely regret it!
What Redick never expected was that when Shanying checked out, he not only completed an unprecedented large purchase in the Anchorage outdoor products market, but also completed a land acquisition...
