"Cheers!" The four glasses clinked together, and then everyone drank the wine in the glass.
Xie Yuan thought that this trip was ordinary, but the four people who survived thought that this was a catastrophe, so they had to go to the tavern to drink vodka to dispel their fear. Unable to defeat them, Xie Yuan could only accept the invitation.
"Ha" Boris picked up the vodka brewed with mushrooms again and filled the four people's wine glasses. He raised the glasses again and celebrated: "Come on! Everyone, this is my friend Artem. He has passed through Chengdu."
A group of monsters and various abnormal phenomena, and survived! Here’s to Artem!”
"Here's to Artem!" Everyone in the tavern, whether they recognized him or not, raised their glasses in a low-key salute. With this mutant monster running rampant between stations, it was a joy to be alive.
However, Xie Yuan noticed that a middle-aged man with his back to them glanced at Xie Yuan from time to time, but he didn't seem to have any malicious intent...it was just casual.
"Oh my God, if it weren't for you, Artem, we would all be the monster's dinner! You really deserve a medal!" Boris, who put down the wine glass, still felt that it was too little, so he fumbled in his pocket and took it out.
A folder of bullets was on the table, "At least there should be some more bullets - here, take them!"
"And mine." The foreigner...no...he is now a local. Although he could see the flash of pain on his face, he unequivocally took out a folder of bullets from his pocket and put it on the table.
"If it weren't for Artyom, I would have been ripped off by those pig-mouthed monsters. Take it! This is what you deserve."
"Let us toast you with another glass." Boris filled the glass with vodka and raised it, as did the locals.
"Artem, I want to toast you again!" Eugene also raised his glass again.
The four of them drank it all in one go.
After putting down the wine glass, Eugene suddenly became interested and looked at Xie Yuan: "Artyom, are you really immune to that thing?
I always thought it was a rumor that you were immune to that kind of spiritual power, but I didn’t expect it to be true. No wonder you have such a high prestige on the site."
"Then let's try to see if mushroom vodka can make him drunk. Haha!" Boris was also getting drunk and wanted to drink again.
"Okay, let's try it!" Eugene also looked eager to give it a try.
This time it was Eugene who said the toast: "For our good luck and for Artem, let's drink another toast!"
"One more toast." This is Boris.
"Me too." This is a local.
Xie Yuan also casually picked up the wine glass again, but when the wine glass was brought to him, Xie Yuan felt that two eyes were observing him.
One was the middle-aged man with his back turned to him, but at this moment he had already stepped down from the counter and left.
The other one is a young woman dressed coquettishly...a dark pink tube top and dark short shorts, with a fishnet top on top, quite naked and bold.
Maybe he noticed the two boxes of military bullets on Xie Yuan's table, so when he saw Xie Yuan looking at her again, he made a very subtle provocative move: patted his butt twice... and then slid his hand from behind to the front, and kept sliding.
When it comes to the crotch...the meaning is self-explanatory.
But Xie Yuan... doesn't have time to go. He has a lot of things to do on his hands. Black monsters are the top priority, and his own food transformation for subway civilization is the second priority.
Why did Riga form an alliance with the Exhibition Hall Station? Because Riga's internal worries are serious. Their food, the mushroom field, was infected with a virus, and production dropped sharply. The ceiling above them had geological structural problems, which caused the previous tunnel collapse.
The road is cut off.
Although Riga Station is an important commercial town, it is quite fragile, so it had to form an alliance with the exhibition hall.
But now there is a problem of the Dark Ones... We are the boss now, so don’t laugh at the second one. Our biggest goal is to persuade the Dark Ones to migrate without triggering a race war.
This is the best outcome. We won't bother you, and you don't bother me. We will never interact with each other, or we will engage in racial competition to see who will be the true representative of the earth in the future, cooperating and competing.
But this idea was not enough on his own, so Xie Yuan ran to Polis Station according to the hunter's request before leaving. Now there are only four major forces with this strength.
But these two groups of people could pass the Battle of Soviet-Germany without even thinking about it. What role can these two forces that reverse the course of history play?
Only the Hanseatic and the city-states could cooperate to see if they could cooperate. The Hanseatic League was the last choice, because this time rumors were flying all over the sky. Only the Hanseatic had the strength to publicize it. Xie Yuan suspected that he was the main war faction.
Now it depends on the city-state.
Xie Yuan said hello and left the tavern on the pretext of going to the toilet. He didn't want the two magazines of bullets, and his wages had already been paid when he arrived at the station.
We are all poor, and we need other people's hard-earned money, and other people's lives are difficult, but we are not short of food or clothing.
After getting off the tavern, Xie Yuan wandered around Riga Station. After all, the road ahead was closed and there was no place to go for the time being. When he found a place to be alone at night, he used a multi-purpose tool to study the nearby structures and find a hole.
gone.
This is what he did in the exhibition hall, and he was familiar with the roads. After all, there would always be some abandoned secret passages in a century-old building like the Moscow Metro Station.
While wandering around, Xie Yuan also gave some alms to the homeless people sitting in the corner of Riga Station, just a few bullets.
"Hey!" It was the local man. He actually found Xie Yuan. He looked at no one on the left and right and thrust a revolver into Xie Yuan's hand.
"I want to thank you for preserving my dignity," his eyes were full of gratitude, "This is my extra revolver. Now because of the road closure, I can't leave Riga Station for the time being, so I will give it to you this time.
But you must accept it.”
"It's well maintained." At this point, what else could Xie Yuan say? He could only accept this gun.
"In the end, no matter where you go... I wish you a safe journey." The locals sent a blessing before leaving.
To say that there is nothing different from Russian customs in the subway era, there are indeed very few, but not none, and revolvers are one of them.
The first prototype of the Russian revolver was the Nagant M1895 revolver using 7.62mm or .357 caliber bullets.
Later, 9mm Parabolum pistol bullets were added as revolver bullets. Before the nuclear bombs fell, conventional pistol bullets were either 7.62mm or 9mm.
But after the nuclear bombs fell, things began to change. The emergence of mutated creatures made the stopping ability of existing pistol bullets insufficient, which meant that they could hit the target but could not stop the monster's ability to move.
In view of this, people need a new pistol for self-defense. Advanced manufacturing is not possible, so people used the structure of the Nagant pistol and creatively added a 0.44-inch caliber bullet. 0.44 is 11.17mm.
So in the subway station, the revolvers you can see are all m1895 style, but the bullets are large-caliber American-style bullets.
However, because it is a Nagant pistol, and since the designer retained its airtight structure, it can also be equipped with a silencer.
The one in Xie Yuan's hand has a standard 6-round revolving cylinder, which means it is a complete imitation of the Nagant pistol. Because the caliber has become larger, the standard cylinder has one less round.
Some simply made a four-round cylinder, and the most outrageous one was an eight-round cylinder, but I have never seen the real thing.
However, the locals gave him a gun before he left. What was even more interesting was that when Xie Yuan was walking from one side to the other, a child stopped him.
This child was wearing an adult's jacket, with the hem reaching to his knees, a dog-skin hat on his head, but his shoes were a pair of rain boots. He looked up at Xie Yuan and asked: "Are you Artem? Hey, there is a man
Waiting for you on the other side of the dark street.
He was big and scary...and he smelled bad."
After a pause, the little boy showed his fox tail: "Give me a bullet and I will take you to him."
It is true that a child from a poor family has already become a master. Xie Yuan was not surprised. He took out a military bullet from his pocket, squatted down and handed it to the little boy: "Little boss, if you take this bullet, you have a contractual obligation to carry it with you."
I'll go find him.
Never imitate those dishonest people, maybe she can make quick money for a while, but there will be retribution one day, and no one will save her by then."
"Huh, I'm not that skilled girl like Nikki!" the little boy assured with an air of dignity, "Thank you then! Let's go."
The little boy turned around and ran away, but it was not difficult to catch him. Xie Yuan quickly caught up with him.
On the contrary, what he said about Nikki made Xie Yuan sigh with emotion, "Made, there really are such people as scammers. Fortunately, he didn't have any thoughts."
Black Street is equivalent to the residential area of Exhibition Hall Station, but it is more dilapidated, dirty and old. In a sense, this is the civilian area of Riga Station.
Compared to the homeless people sitting in the corner on the other side, confused about the future, at least they still have a place to stay...but there is only a place to stay.
Going around the corners and aisles all the way, Xie Yuan was not surprised to see another person who was paying attention to him at that time. The person had his back to Xie Yuan's table, but looked back from time to time.
"They call me Bourbon." After inviting Xie Yuan to sit down, the middle-aged man introduced himself, "Listen... I have to rush to the drought station to do some business, but this rat's nest has been blocked.
But I know there is a back road – the so-called ‘cursed’ trail – that the locals are afraid to take.”
"I have heard of your reputation in the past. There are rumors that you can stay in the tunnel as long as you want as long as you hold a knife." Bourbon pointed to a gun behind his back, "Since those ghosts are targeting you
It doesn’t work. So, how about you accompany me to the drought station, and I’ll give you my ak as soon as I get there?”
"Okay." Xie Yuan agreed. Anyway, he would scan this area to look for loopholes at night. Since he can leave now, it doesn't matter.
As for whether there will be any betrayal issues on the road... it depends on his performance.
"Then this is my advance payment," Bourbon took out a row of magazines from his pocket. Xie Yuan took a look...it seemed that there were 12 rounds of military bullets. "You can use this money to buy some necessary equipment.
.”
"You gave me so much...are you going to go to the ground?" Xie Yuan asked Bourbon, "If you just go through the tunnel, you don't need so much."
"Yes, you have to go to the ground on the road." Bourbon did not deny it. "You need to buy a few more filter tanks just in case."
"Then you have to wait for me." Xie Yuan is going to the supplies department here to buy a few more filters. In fact, for Xie Yuan on the ground, there are places where masks are no longer needed. Even if he needs it, he still has better equipment, but
Now that someone is around, it's best not to leak the secret, "Then I really need to prepare."
Bourbon just picked up his glass and toasted Xie Yuan: "Then go and come back quickly."
