Chapter 14 A Task from the Gun Team

The black gunpoint pointed at me as I approached, although I did not take out any weapons.

“The man come here to trade, let him in.”

The radio in front of the guard’s chest rang out at the right time. It was the voice of the mustached man who opened the first door.

“Go.”

The guard looked surprised, but he still waved his gun and let me in.

In the first floor of the hotel, there was one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps. I walked towards the stairs. Along the short way of tens of meters, I felt countless eyes falling on me. They watched me while I was walking into the stairwell, which made me very uncomfortable.

The logistic office on the first floor underground of the hotel was tightly guarded, and there were two mechanical guards standing at the entrance.

The mechanical guard had a human-like mechanical skeleton and its head center was a visual sensor. Its alloying armor of the whole body completely wrapped around the various instruments. And it was painted with uniform military green. At the end of the left arm was a triangular alloying claw, which could easily tear the enemy’s armor and was mainly used in close fighting. At the right mechanical arm, a three-barreled revolver gun was installed, which could easily destroy the enemy in the distance.

Looking at the two robots, I was somewhat confused.

“Hey! Is anyone here? I’m here to trade!”

Soon I decided to have a try and shouted inside.

“Outsiders, please unload your weapons before trading, and please leave here if you cancel trade. You have two minutes.”

The cold voice of one mechanical guard rang out.

According to prompt, I took off my gun and put it on the table beside me.

“May I go in?”

I said to the two mechanical guards.

The mechanical guards didn’t reply. One of the guards suddenly showed a small mouth opening on his facial armor, and a red light shot out of it which scanned me from head to foot.

“No weapons, passing permitted.”

It was really that no chance was permitted. I sighed slightly.

After passing through a corridor, I saw a wooden board with the words “Logistics Office” hanging on the door of the room of the end. I went and knocked at the door.

“Come in.”

It was a lady’s sweet-sounding. So I opened the door and went in.

“Hi, I’m here to trade!”

I said my purpose directly.

There was a woman with some charm. Of course, she was just not ugly. At this time, the woman was standing behind the counter of the big iron bar, and recording something with the pen in her hand. The board said here was the Logistics Office, but I saw a lot of weapons and ammunition in the room.

“Trade?”

The woman stopped her work and turned her eyes to me with an unexpected expression. Obviously, she hadn’t encountered too much this situation.

“Did you keep something private? Didn’t your captain tell you that everything you found had to be turned in?”

It was obvious that she misunderstood me. She stared at me and spoke that in a serious tone.

“You misunderstood. I’m not from here, I’m from outside.”

It seemed that no one would doubt me if I said I was a member of the Gun Team in City St. John.

The woman’s eyes turned and looked at me carefully, as if she wanted to see me clearly.

“Sorry, I thought you’re the soldier who wanted to exchange some cigarettes and alcohol. After all, your clothes are similar.”

The woman relived and said slowly.

“Well, what do you want to exchange? “We have many weapons and ammunition here, but we seldom exchange them with others unless we really need what you provide.”

“Medical supplies. But I only have little.”

There were not many medical suppliers I brought out from the lab. Besides trading, I had to keep some for myself.

I took out one all-purpose blood bag, three ampoules of morphine, two boxes of Anti-radiation Capsule and five cure syringes from my backpack and put them on the counter. Seeing these medical suppliers, the woman’s eyes turned bright at once.

“All of these can exchange for things. What do you want to exchange? Gun? Food?”

The woman quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes, but I had seen it.
