After a day's rest, Lin Qingqing took the four of them to a secluded street.
This place is not far from the back door of the base exchange. There is a word "wine" made of neon lights hanging crookedly outside. I don't know if it was removed from that bar.
There was no security guard at the door, but two cameras were dimly flashing in an inconspicuous corner.
"Captain should be right here," Wen Ling lowered her head slightly, moved her lips, and whispered.
Lin Qingqing pinched her fingers to show that she heard. It was their first time in a place like the black market, and it was not convenient to communicate in person, so Yin Yaxiu made an invisible walkie-talkie and headset for each of them. This kind of thing is only useful on a small scale, so it's just right to bring it to the black market.
The entrance to this black market was the information that Lei Min and Qu Xingchi got from a shady businessman at a huge price when they were buying things at the base exchange. It shouldn't be wrong.
After the group of people entered the door quietly, they found that the entire bar was empty, except for a half-open wooden door in the corner.
Pushing open the wooden door, there is a long passage inside.
They came to the entrance of the passage and walked down a staircase all the way to the end.
There is another door here, and sitting at the door is a burly man, wearing sunglasses and a sinister face, looking very untouchable.
Seeing a group of unfamiliar faces, the sturdy man stretched out his hand to stop them.
Seeing this big man, Lei Min immediately remembered something. She stepped forward and took out a coin crystal core from her pocket, and handed them both to the big man's hands.
Qu Xingchi explained in a low voice on the side: "The black-hearted businessman said that you need a recommendation to get in. The coin that Sister Minmin took is a token."
They also got this coin from the previous shady dealer. It was larger than the usual one-yuan coins. The material was very ordinary. On one side was a strange half-faced human figure, and on the other side was the symbol of a two-headed snake.
"What a token, it's just a pass that a black-hearted businessman secretly resells." Yin Yaxiu curled her lips secretly.
The big man reached out to take the crystal core and stuffed it into his pocket skillfully. Then he picked up the coin and looked at it carefully.
With the faint light, a faint red flashed in the eyes of the figure on the coin.
The big man nodded, returned the coin to Lei Min, and then turned sideways to let them pass.
Lin Qingqing took the lead and stepped into the dark door. There was another passage here, and this passage was more tortuous than the previous one.
After walking for a long time and passing through a large iron gate, they finally came to the real black market.
This market is built underground and is surprisingly large. You can't see the end of it at a glance, and there are unexpectedly many people.
After a cursory scan, there were everything for sale inside, and there were excited shouts and bargaining sounds.
Women are rare here, so this team of good-looking people is particularly eye-catching when they walk inside.
As more and more people looked at her, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but frown. She pushed down the hat on Wen Ling's head, then glanced over with a cold look, and her probing gaze was suddenly reduced by half.
Those who have been in the black market for a long time are all human beings. The most important thing is their sharp eyesight. Although they all have strange faces, they definitely don't look like little white rabbits to be bullied.
Without half of the people with bad intentions, the remaining half are those who want to do business with them.
For these people, whether they have money or not can be seen at a glance. With Lin Qing's appearance and temperament, no one would believe him if he said he had no money.
"Hey, captain, this is your first time here. Our store has just received a batch of new goods, which will definitely satisfy you."
"Hey, Captain, Captain, you must come to our place and take a look. Our products are definitely not available elsewhere."
"Captain, captain, come to our home first. We have one-stop service in our store. You can experience it first before paying!"
…
After walking a few steps, they were already chatted up by several waves of people. Except for those young ladies and young men in the base, most of them
The rich ones are not Mr. XX or Chief XX, but those teams with special powers who lick blood all day long.
Therefore, the new title "Captain" has become synonymous with respect in the apocalypse. Regardless of whether you recognize him or not, you are right to call him "Captain".
Moreover, most of the things sold on the black market are not from serious channels, or are simply not serious things at all.
Therefore, they only recruit people and do not tell them directly what they are selling. The final transactions are carried out secretly.
As for the idea of experiencing it first and then paying for it, everyone who knows it will understand that it is not a serious business at first glance.
They ignored these hawkers soliciting customers.
According to general practice, there are no rare and good things outside. Lin Qingqing stopped going in after visiting two houses. When she met someone who came to chat with them again, she calmly shook her head at them, and then led a few people straight inside.
In the apocalypse, the most popular items on the black market are not only food and medicine, but also various weapons and equipment. The metal material Yin Yaxiu wanted was even rarer than weapons.
The general weapons stores sell ordinary items. Only those who plan to find someone to customize weapons and equipment will go to the trouble of collecting these materials.
So these things are really hard to find.
"Go check out that store!"
Yin Yaxiu pointed to an inconspicuous small shop and said. After wandering for a long time, she finally found her target.
In this half-secret black market, her superpower is like a metal detection radar. Wherever there is good stuff, she can't hide it from her senses.
"Hey, Sister Yaxiu, I didn't expect that your superpower also has the function of treasure hunting," Qu Xingchi couldn't help but say excitedly.
"It's not that magical. I can only sense metal materials, which is far behind compared to a small bell!"
"Hey! That's right, little bells can also sense things. Please tell us where there are good things!"
"How do I know? Even if there is something good, I don't know it!" Wen Ling rolled her eyes helplessly.
She could only perceive moving objects and things related to supernatural powers. As for metals and stones, they were all the same in front of her.
Okay, he forgot about this. Qu Xingchi touched his nose in embarrassment.
They all communicated in a low voice through earphones. In this crowded place, ordinary people could not hear what they were saying in such a seemingly casual chat.
Several people followed Yin Yaxiu's suggestion and came to this small shop. When they opened the door and entered, the shop owner was still a little puzzled.
"Guys, what do you... want?" A man with some gray hair asked tentatively.
These well-dressed and distinguished young men and women look unfamiliar at first glance, and I don’t know how they got into their own store.
"I want to make a weapon. What good materials does the boss have?" Yin Yaxiu asked familiarly.
Hearing that the other party was looking for materials for making weapons, the boss understood. He turned around and took out three wooden boxes and placed them on the table. He pointed at the contents inside and said, "The box on the left has ten crystal cores, the one in the middle has thirty crystal cores, and the box on the right has ten crystal cores. Crystal core!"
The three wooden boxes are as big as a small table. The inside is divided into fist-sized grids, and each small grid contains a material sample. Among them, metal materials account for the majority. In addition, there are various ores, wood, and bones and furs of some invisible animals.
And the price he mentioned was the price per gram.
"Ten cores per gram, thirty cores per gram? Are you selling gold?" Qu Xingchi was shocked by the price.
The boss looked at him with disdain, then knocked on the wooden box and said, "What's all the fuss about? These are all materials that can carry supernatural powers. Don't you want to customize weapons? If you don't use these, why do you have to use those broken coppers? iron?"
"Can these furs and bones also carry supernatural powers?" Qu Xingchi didn't believe it.
"These are all materials from mutant beasts, what do you think?"
"Mutated beast? What mutant beast?"
"I'll tell you if you buy it!" The boss didn't buy his account at all, he seemed to like buying
Not buying it.
"Why should we buy it if you don't introduce it to us?" Qu Xingchi said unconvinced.
"Try it yourself first. Once you find the material that matches your attributes, I will explain it to you." After the boss said this, he ignored them and went about his own business.
Yin Yaxiu didn't speak from the beginning to the end. Ever since the boss took out the wooden boxes, all her thoughts were attracted to them.
She picked up each material and touched them one by one, carefully feeling the structure and properties of the materials, and then picked out a few pieces that interested her.
"Captain, don't you want a pair of gloves that can save your powers? These are suitable."
As she spoke, she placed two pieces of silver-white metal and a white crystal-like stone in Lin Qingqing's hands.
Lin Qingqing closed her eyes and felt it, then nodded, and there was indeed a subtle sense of resonance.
If you just make a pair of gloves, you don't need too many materials. Most people just buy such expensive things and mix them with ordinary metals. Only the real rich will use all precious materials to build equipment.
In fact, what Lin Qingqing was most interested in were the materials from mutant beasts. They had killed so many mutant jackals in Baishi Town, but they never thought that those bones and fur could be used to make weapons and equipment.
"What kind of mutant beast material is this?"
Lin Qingqing picked up a fang that looked particularly familiar and was as long as a finger and said.
"Those are the teeth of a mutated dog with a second-level fire attribute," the boss said calmly with a glance.
A mutated dog with a second-level fire attribute? Isn't that just...
Looking at the wooden box containing the canine teeth marked with thirty crystal cores per gram, Lin Qingqing felt regretful for the first time.
Not only her, but also several other people's faces turned blue and black at this moment.
Yin Yaxiu looked at the tooth strangely, and then asked, "How much would this kind of canine tooth be worth if it were a third-grade canine tooth?"
