Cataclysm King Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Camp

After his teammates left, Ji Xun cautiously walked towards the direction of the fire.

He climbed down the rusted stairs, and he could already overlook the lively camp from halfway up.

The fire dispelled the fog, and the camp was full of people.

It was a mechanical town. Treasure hunters used the dismantled iron plates and huge rivets in the ruins to piece together a tall steel city wall like patches.

The town was brightly lit and full of voices. It was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people. On almost every building, there are chimneys emitting smoke.

Before, Ji Xun felt that the steam technology tree in this world was a bit crooked, but now it is true.

He saw the steel python-like steam train in the town at a glance, and large mechanical lifting arms were lifting various goods. Even the workers who carry the goods almost have more or less strange-shaped mechanical exoskeletons, which allows them to easily carry tons of goods.

Just now, I was a little worried that my attire would get into trouble if someone wrote it down. Now that I observed the hunter attire in the camp, Ji Xun immediately felt that he was worrying too much.

Tactical vest with boots, this is the standard equipment for a bad street.

Seven or eight out of ten hunters in the camp wear this outfit, even the style of the gas mask is similar.

Ji Xun also felt relieved, climbed down the stairs, and landed on the ground.

Walking over, the gate of the camp was open, and several hunters on the watchtower leaned on the arrow tower, scanning everywhere boredly.

As long as it is not a monster attack, no one will care who enters the camp.

There are many people coming in and out, and people are excitedly talking about various stories in the ruins.

Ji Xun mixed in the crowd and walked in without any surprise.

This is the camp built to explore the ruins, and all the facilities inside are for hunters.

Card shop, firearms shop, mechanical modification shop, pharmacy shop, material shop. In short, all kinds of supply shops.

Ji Xun passed by those shops, looking at the dazzling array of firearms and individual mechanical equipment, he was very envious.

Before he thought his revolver was not bad, but this comparison is really a basic model.

There are dozens of bullets, such as magic bullets, armor-piercing bullets, exorcism bullets, incendiary bullets

I glanced at the price tag at the door of the shop:

[Armor-piercing bullet]: ￥3

【High Explosive Grenade】:￥300

【M127 revolver】：￥1300

[Double-barrel magic hunting gun]: ￥2550

【Single Soldier Mechanical Power-assisted Skeleton (800KG)】: ￥32500

The same type of big mouth gold revolver on my waist is only worth 1,300 yuan, while more sophisticated equipment can easily cost tens of thousands.

There are also daggers, leather armor, tactical boots, ziplines.

In short, as long as you have money, you can buy a better set of adventure equipment.

Equipment is the guy who eats, hunters naturally don't mean money, these shops are full of all kinds of hunters.

Ji Xun walked all the way, bought a tactical backpack, and updated some necessary equipment.

I didn't read anything about mechanical skeletons.

Too expensive.

The carrying target is also too large.

He continued to walk forward, and there was a large shop at the core of the camp, with the sign "House of Cards of the Haisen Chamber of Commerce" hanging on it.

There is an exquisite glass window at the door, and there are magic cards of various colors inside.

[Wind Blade Card]: ￥3000

[Burst Card]: ￥5000

[Arcane Combo]: ￥15555

In the window, there are mostly one-time skill cards, as well as blank storage cards, energy cards, all kinds of strange and incomprehensible psychic cards, and armed cards

Ji Xun took a look and didn't enter the shop at all, and muttered in his heart: "It's really because it's cheap."

Before in the different-dimensional space, he saw that Chu Jiu and the mercenaries had used several magic cards.

But rarely used.

More guns.

Now look at the price and immediately know why.

The power of magic cards is indeed much stronger than that of guns, and it can also meet various combat needs.

But the price is outrageous.

A grenade is only 300, but a Tier 1 [Burst Card] is 5000.

The damage at the physical level is similar, but the price difference is more than ten times.

But there is nothing I can't understand.

Firearms and other things can be produced on the factory assembly line. The steam machinery in this world is so developed that the manufacturing cost is definitely not high.

The card involves magic and magic power storage, so it seems that it needs to be artificially refined.

There is a reason why you are expensive.

And the upper limit of magic cards is obviously higher.

Grenade is already one of the most powerful ammunition in individual equipment, but it is also similar to the lowest level of card power.

Those outrageously high-end cards with high prices can be guessed by just looking at the name Ji Xun, and they all have some extraordinary magical effects.

For example: a piece of [Chain Lightning] with a price tag of hundreds of thousands.

The effect of the skill is to instantly cause group lightning damage and paralysis to the range targets.

Can the physical body control the power of thunder?

This is very difficult in previous life technology.

While Ji Xun was amazed, he was also full of expectations for the extraordinary power that humans in this world can master.

In addition, there is a pharmacy next door, and there are also some alchemy potions that sound magical.

Ji Xun was almost dazzled looking at the rows of labels of medicines, picked out a few necessary basic medicines, and didn't look any more.

High-level potions still have one word: expensive!

Ji Xun only had a small amount of cash scraped from the corpses of mercenaries in his pocket, and he couldn't afford high-level potions at all.

He still doesn't know the price level in this world, nor does he know the purchasing power.

But quickly found the reference.

There is a simple tavern in the camp, where a group of hunters eat, drink and spank.

Ji Xun was walking on the street and took a look. Brown bread was 15/piece, and drinking water was 3/L.

Not expensive.

After walking for so long, he was also hungry, so he took out the money and bought a piece of black bread that was as long as an arm.

Holding it in the hand is a bit like a baseball bat, hard.

He tried it.

Not to mention, in addition to the hardness that may knock teeth off, the taste is not bad.

After biting into pieces, carbohydrates are decomposed by saliva, and a sweet smell sweeps over the taste buds.

It's like the compressed biscuits in the previous life, it doesn't care about the taste, but prioritizes energy supply needs.

Ji Xun took a few bites and soon felt that he had enough calories.

Everything in the Devil's Crossing camp is new to Ji Xun.

He is new here, if possible, he plans to go for a walk around, or sit in a tavern.

Listen to what those people are talking about and find out what the world is like.

But now is clearly not the time.

Ji Xun bought some supplies and hurried towards the train station behind the camp.

Walking all the way, his peripheral vision is also observing all the way.

The campsite is a small town, and the scale is not too big. After a short walk, we arrived at the train station.

This is a very simple platform, it also looks like an ancient relic, and there are traces of time everywhere.

The station is very lively with people coming and going.

The workers are busy carrying all kinds of materials found in the ruins onto the vehicle, and the treasure hunters who have harvested a lot are also smiling and boarding the vehicle in small groups.

The treasure hunt is over, if you don't die, you must have earned it.

The hunters will take this train back to the city of innocence, and then spend a long period of luxurious life.

Ji Xun's observation skills are extremely keen, as soon as he came over, he immediately noticed the abnormality.

"A member of the Blackwater Mercenary Group?"

Among the bustling crowd, Ji Xun could distinguish a few guys with unusual expressions at a glance.

The other hunters were eager to get back into the car, but they glanced around the crowd from the corner of their eyes, as if they were looking for something.

Ji Xun wasn't sure if those guys were looking for him.

But it is estimated that even if they are looking for him, those guys have very limited information, maybe they only know: a man and a woman?

Before wearing a gas mask in a different dimension, the fourth young master of the Cao family didn't see his appearance clearly, and there were not many exposed clues.

As long as you don't show your feet, the probability of being discovered is not high.

However, this world has extraordinary power.

Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless.

He imitated the joyful lightness of walking in the same style as passers-by, blended in the crowd, and walked towards the train without any hesitation.
