Chapter 349 Underground Fighting
Chapter 349 Underground Fighting
The underground black market at Dongjing Base is no different from the black market previously run by Snake Brother in Shannan City.
However, most of the items traded here are those that are explicitly prohibited by the authorities.
For example, they have all kinds of firearms and ammunition, knives and spears, and even medicines that are as valuable as gold!
In addition, you can hire assassins here, gather information, and so on.
The "Big Gold Tooth" mentioned by Er Gouzi is a businessman in the black market.
He can do anything if given enough benefits.
In his previous life, Su Chen knew about the existence of Big Gold Tooth.
However, the two didn't have much interaction, and he didn't know much about Big Gold Tooth.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Su Chen nodded.
"But it's already late, let's go tomorrow."
Curfew is approaching, so going outside now would be asking for trouble.
"Oh right, Su-ge, here's what's left."
As he spoke, Er Gouzi took out two gold bars.
But Su Chen didn't reach out to take it; he just smiled.
"Keep it as a reward for your hard work, or as payment for our stay here."
"This is not good. You are Ah Yan and Lao Ding's savior. It is only right that I help you."
Er Gouzi shook his head, his attitude extremely firm.
"Hey, Brother Su, we're all family here, no need to be so polite."
Wang Yan laughed dismissively.
Seeing that Er Gouzi was so principled, Su Chen stopped insisting and took the gold bars back.
"Um... Brother Su, I have a favor to ask of you."
Er Gouzi scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"You want to leave with us?"
Su Chen smiled slightly and voiced Er Gouzi's thoughts.
Er Gouzi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded emphatically.
"Yes, that's right..."
As a scavenger, Er Gouzi's life can be described as extremely miserable.
It's not hard to tell from his drafty house.
The worst part was that every few days, he had to go out with other scavengers and the guards to search for supplies.
There are zombies outside, and you might lose your life if you're not careful.
On the other hand, Wang Yan and Ding Di, who were with Su Chen, were living a life of luxury.
After a month or two apart, the two of them looked radiant and even gained weight.
I'm not afraid of my brothers living a hard life, I'm afraid of my brothers driving Land Rovers.
Seeing his two brothers living so well, Er Gouzi was so jealous he was practically grinding his teeth to dust!
"As long as you help me properly, this is no problem!"
Su Chen readily agreed.
Anyway, Wang Yan and Ding Di's jeep can fit at least three more people if they squeeze in.
Adding a second dog won't be a big problem.
"That's great, Brother Su!"
Er Gouzi was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, I will never refuse to do anything I can!"
"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest!"
Su Chen stretched.
Er Gouzi quickly got up and prepared beds for the three of them.
Silent all night.
The next morning, the four left their residence and headed to the black market to find Big Gold Tooth.
Unlike other places, the black market at the East Jing base is located on a cruise ship.
The cruise ship was originally on a sightseeing trip on the river, but eventually ran aground on the shore.
Among the survivors were many ruthless individuals.
They occupied the area and turned it into a black market.
Those who can afford to live on cruise ships are all capable and competent.
After paying for their tickets, Su Chen and his three companions successfully boarded the cruise ship.
On the outer deck, there were many survivors selling their goods.
However, the items they sell are no different from those in the base's trading area; they are all ordinary and common supplies.
It wasn't until he entered the cabin that Su Chen saw a lot of tough stuff.
All sorts of daggers and short knives were laid out on the table.
Su Chen even saw several pistols and a number of bullets.
The survivors coming and going didn't seem surprised; it seemed like they were used to it.
After passing through several cabins, Su Chen finally found Big Gold Tooth in a room that had originally been a KTV private room.
He had dark skin and an unremarkable appearance; when he spoke, two gold teeth could be seen embedded in his front teeth.
"Is something wrong?"
After looking Su Chen and his companions up and down, Big Gold Tooth finally fixed his gaze on Su Chen.
His intuition told him that Su Chen was the one whose words carried the most weight among the four.
"I heard you can get information here, so I came to find you."
Su Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Big Gold Tooth couldn't help but laugh.
"That's true."
"If there's any news I don't know, the only place in the base I can find out is the Hydroelectric Building."
His tone was quite confident.
But then the tone shifted abruptly.
"But asking me for information comes at a high price."
"How can it be considered not low?"
Su Chen said calmly.
Big Gold Tooth didn't ask the price directly, but instead smiled and said...
"Tell me what you want to know first."
Do you know about the alien crystal and the energy fruit?
When Su Chen said those words, he noticed that Big Gold Tooth's pupils suddenly contracted!
I've heard of that big gold tooth, the alien crystal, and the energy fruit!
Big Gold Tooth's expression was unpredictable, and he finally spoke slowly after a long while.
"Are you an evolved being?"
"good."
Su Chen did not deny it, but nodded directly.
After all, aside from evolved beings, ordinary people wouldn't bother asking about these two things!
“There should be these two things in the base, and I need to know where they are.”
"I know the information, but what will you offer in exchange?"
Big Gold Tooth spoke slowly and deliberately.
What do you want? Food? Medicine? Cigarettes? Or liquor?
Su Chen countered with a question.
Big Gold Tooth raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Judging from Su Chen's tone, he has all of these things?
This kid is no ordinary person!
But Big Gold Tooth just shook his head.
“I don’t need these things.”
"Then what do you want?"
Su Chen frowned.
"I want you to do me a favor."
"What's the deal?"
Do you know about underground boxing?
Su Chen was slightly taken aback and looked at Er Gouzi, Wang Yan, and Ding Di beside him.
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Before the apocalypse, Su Chen had heard of underground boxing matches.
Unlike legitimate boxing matches, underground boxing is extremely bloody and brutal, often resulting in deaths.
However, high risk is often accompanied by high profit.
But that was all before the apocalypse; Su Chen had never heard of underground boxing during the apocalypse.
"There is a place on this cruise ship that specializes in underground boxing matches."
"Of course, some people also call it the Colosseum."
"Survivors can go there to watch underground boxing matches and place bets along the way."
"Big Gold Tooth explained."
"So what does this have to do with me?"
Su Chen spread his hands and asked.
"I want you to help me fight in underground boxing matches."
Upon hearing Big Gold Tooth's words, Su Chen immediately smiled.
He was a high-level evolved being, yet Big Gold Tooth wanted him to fight in underground boxing matches for him?
