16 The Bomberman in the Underground
The thick metal door slowly opened, and even Lin Chi was a little surprised when he saw the true face of the "black market".
The imagined scenes like underground halls or warehouses did not appear. This so-called black market is actually a street located in the underground!
Although it is located underground, the width of this street is similar to that of the street in the city center. Both sides of the street are filled with various strange and strange shops with strange signs, which are like a blackened version of the commercial street in the city center.
Even though he knew that there was a shopping mall above, Lin Chi looked up and saw the effect of the starry sky. The ceiling of this underground area was particularly blurry and the walls were completely unaware. In addition to the starlight emitted by small lights, there was even an "artificial moon" modified with spherical lights from dance halls installed on the ceiling...
There are many more guests in the black market than Lin Chi imagined, most of which are ordinary NPCs used to make up numbers. The crowd is mixed with many guards holding heavy weapons and wearing interceptor body armor. Just looking at the appearance, you can tell that it is more than one level better than the useless guards on the streets outside.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chi couldn't help but shake his head.
To find Crazy Evan's backpack in a shop street of this size is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. Greke only said that the backpack was sold on the black market, but he did not mention where it was sold.
However, if it is Crazy Evan's backpack, it should be sold to the kind of store that sells explosives.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi's eyes swept over the signs on both sides of the shopping street and began to find his own goal.
——In this area, there are only three shops with names and bombs related to them, so the target range is much smaller.
Lin Chi quickly walked through the crowded streets and walked towards the first store.
The sign of the store is painted with a huge tire pattern, with four simple and rough words "bomb" written below. Lin Chi walked to the front of the store and saw a shirtless man with a dirt-faced face, his right arm and right leg replaced by machinery, standing behind the counter, yawning boredly. The only strands of blond hair on his head were bent and curled up, like a burning flame.
"Hey, I want to buy something." Lin Chi knocked on the metal counter full of oil stains, and looked at the various grenades hanging behind the counter and the strange-shaped cylinders.
"Oh oh!" The man who was still sleeping just now jumped up like a monkey and spoke sarcastically: "Welcome to the bomb shop! Are you going to have some bomb tires today?"
"No need." Lin Chi looked at the shop owner, always feeling that he had seen this guy somewhere.
Immediately afterwards, the red skull logo and name displayed on the other party's head instantly answered his question:
"Crazy Rat", hero-level NPC, can be recruited (questions need to be completed).
"Can this guy be recruited?" Lin Chi said in his heart.
He thought that the owners of the store were all like the two guys in the "Rainbow Six Weapon Store" and were unrecruitable characters, but he didn't expect that this crazy rat could be recruited under his command, which was really unexpected.
But now, it is better to solve the problem of Crazy Evan first.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi suppressed the urge to recruit the crazy rat immediately and asked, "I'm looking for a backpack full of bombs, sold by a man with a flat head. Do you have any impression?"
"Bomb backpack..." The crazy rat frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted: "I have an impression!"
"Oh, is that backpack still here with you?" Lin Chi asked.
——Although I really want to take this heroic character under my command, through a brief exchange, Lin Chi found that this guy's spirit seemed to be not normal.
It seems that we need to reconsider whether to recruit this guy. After all, it is enough to be a crazy Evan alone. If you add the Crazy Rat, this team may be beyond your control...
"Of course here, but you have to satisfy one of my wishes!" The crazy rat suddenly laughed, and at some point his left hand changed into a metal trap, making a dangerous crackling sound.
"What wish?" Looking at the smirk on the other person's face, a trace of ominous premonition arose in Lin Chi's heart.
"Help me test the new version of the bomb tire! I'm making some new equipment and can't get out for the time being." The crazy rat made the condition directly: "If you test the bomb tire for me, I will give you that backpack, provided you can come back alive, hahahahaha!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Chi received a new task:
Start the mission: Bomb Tires.
Crazy Rat asks you to help him test new bomb tires, kill a player with bomb tires, and then come back to report to Crazy Rat.
Mission reward: $10,000, new bomb tire completion version x1.
Seeing the task's requirements, Lin Chi frowned slightly - if the full-band scanning continues, this task is not difficult to complete. But under the current situation, let alone killing a player with a bomb tire, it is not easy to find a player.
Although there may be players in this black market, using bomb tires here is basically no different from suicide. I guess I was shot dead by the heavy armored guard before it even hit.
While thinking, the crazy rat had already moved a black rubber tire with spikes from under the counter. A metal engine was installed in the center of the tire, and an exaggerated smiley face pattern was sprayed on it.
"It's this, my new product, the effective range of explosion reaches twenty meters!" The crazy rat proudly patted this "big guy".
"How to use this thing?" Lin Chi looked at the engine in the middle of the tire.
Just looking at the appearance of this thing, it exudes a dangerous aura. If it weren't for the mission, he would never use such equipment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crazy rat took out a game controller with paint removed and placed it next to the bomb tire, explaining: "The new product is operated with this special remote control. The joystick controls the direction. The green button is acceleration. If you press the red button, you will explode! If you don't believe it, look..."
Seeing that the crazy rat's slender finger was about to press on the red button, Lin Chi suddenly grabbed the handle and interrupted the other party's behavior of death.
"I understand, wait for my good news."
Lin Chi tried to stuff the bomb tire into the briefcase, but unexpectedly it succeeded in one go. It seems that the backpack in this game is even more unscientific than imagined...
He just put away his tires and remote control, and was about to turn around and leave, the sarcastic rat's sarcastic sound floated from behind again:
"I wish you a good journey!"
"Go to die." Lin Chi complained and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the underground street.
It’s not too late to visit the black market later. Since I have received the task, it’s time to find a bad guy and become a sacrifice for bomb tires!
As soon as he returned to the metal door, Lin Chi's hand had not touched the door handle, he saw that the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside out.
"Um?"
Realizing that a player might enter the black market through the secret channel, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and a sinister smile appeared on his face:
The opportunity is here.
