The metal gate opened as the smell of desiccant dirt blew in his face.
Hu Youde searched for the button on the wall as he turned on the lights to the warehouse.
The dark space instantly lit up. The thick wooden boxes almost stuffed the entire area to its max capacity.
Inside the open boxes were baseball shaped heat sensor grenades, and bowl sized rockets. On the wall directly facing the door were rows of ghost sniper rifles, and by crude estimation, at least another hundred in the boxes on the side with changeable scopes. As to the barrels along the other side of the wall, without a doubt, must be launchers to the rockets.
”Ghost sniper rifle, heat sensor grenade, ”Python” anti-tank rocket, reaper rifle, along with some other reliable gadgets. I trust you will definitely be interested.” While Hu Youde laughed, he signaled a satisfied gesture to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen walked up and picked up a ”Python” and tried to scope.
”Is this thing good.”
”One round would bust a power armor,” Hu Youde immediately added, ”The land type too.”
”Is the quality reliable?”
”I can guarantee it with my head.” Hu Youde promised while pounding his chest.
Jiang Chen nodded, pleased. As he put down the rocket launcher in his hand, he strolled around the warehouse to try out a few things to ensure the quality of the other weapons.
”If you don't mind me asking, is Mr. Jiang planning something big?”
”Oh? Why do you think so?” Jiang Chen played with the ghost sniper rifle in his hands as he said nonchalantly.
The small cunning eyes spun as Hu Youde cracked a smile. ”Everyone knows that it is almost impossible to sell firearms at the Sixth Street now. Mr. Jiang is in the food business so obviously not interested in the small profit. This batch of firearms, it is going to be used to equip an army?”
Jiang Chen glanced at him as the tense Hu Youde immediately rushed to explain, ”Ahem, don't be mistaken, I have no intention in collecting information.”
”Then your intention is?” Jiang Chen asked him dubiously.
”I just want to know if Mr. Jiang is interested in people,” Hu Youde said with a flattering look.
”People?”
”To put it simply, slaves. Ones who are already trained with the electronic collar around their necks so you only need to push them forward during the war.”
Jiang Chen was flabbergasted. ”You are not only in the firearm business, but you also do slave trade?”
When Hu Youde heard that Jiang Chen seemed to be interested, he immediately became more energetic as he started to explain to Jiang Chen, ”Slave is a specialty to Su City. The mine pit at Su City has over seventy thousand slaves registered for sale. Although I don't have stock on hand, if Mr. Jiang is interested, I will immediately go back and haul you a batch.”
Jiang Chen was astonished. ”Seventy thousand? What kind of damn place is the mine pit.”
Seventy thousand? Including the shadow population and nearby survivors, the Sixth Street only has fifty thousand people. Slaves registered for sale alone were over seventy thousand, that was insane!
Although Hu Youde was a bit confused when he heard Jiang Chen didn't know what the mine pit was, he thought that it might be because Jiang Chen had never left Wanghai City and without second guessing it, he began to explain the origin of the mine pit.
