Chapter 238: Making a Fortune
Chapter 238: Making a Fortune
Some people may not have heard the saying: A true hunter often appears as a prey.
Seeing that Lu Cheng was about to approach the ambush circle set up by the gun dealers, the gun dealers also began to get nervous. They each clenched their guns, loaded bullets, and aimed at Lu Cheng.
But at this moment, Lu Cheng, who was walking, suddenly bent down, and like a cheetah, he instantly rushed towards one side of the ambush circle set up by the gun dealer.
At the same time, two box guns appeared in Lu Cheng's hands. He raised both guns while running and pulled the trigger decisively.
After two gunshots, two gun dealers hiding in the tree were shot instantly and fell down from the tree.
Before the other gun dealers could react, the two guns in Lu Cheng's hands fired again. The two guns fired at the same time, and two bullets were shot out. The two gun dealers hiding behind a small mound on the left were shot in the head at the same time and died on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Cheng was less than 20 meters away from the gun dealers.
"Bang, bang, bang," a series of gunshots rang out. The gun dealers who had just reacted were shot in the head and died on the spot before they had time to escape.
The two gun dealers on the far right were so frightened that they even forgot to run away. They just knelt on the ground, threw away the box guns in their hands, and begged for mercy tremblingly: "Sir, spare my life!"
Ten bullets, kill ten enemies, no bullet is wasted.
"You are so brave that you dare to ambush the major officer."
In a life-and-death situation, one of the remaining gun dealers thought quickly: "Sir, we are innocent. We must be on guard against others. We definitely have no intention of ambush you."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Are all your guns loaded? Seeing that I came alone, you still made such a big scene. If it's not to kill people and rob money, then what is the purpose? I don't want to listen to your excuses. Now I'll give you a chance to live. It depends on whether you can catch me."
"Sir, we will definitely catch him. Please give your orders."
"Where is your lair? Do you have any stock left?"
"Yes, yes, yes. We have our own small warehouse outside Zenda City, and we have quite a few guns stored there. Moreover, we are two groups of people. The guy next to me and I belong to each side, and we both know where our warehouses are."
"Congratulations, you've seized this opportunity to survive. Now, each of you should collect the other's body and take out all the valuables on your body."
"Yes, sir."
The two guys didn't dare to hesitate at all, for fear of angering this killer god. They just revealed all the valuable things on them without the other party collecting them.
It has to be said that the arms business is about making money. Even if these gun dealers are only the lowest-level arms dealers, they are all very rich, wearing watches, pocket watches, dollars, legal tender, guns, ammunition, etc.
After the two men took out everything they had on them, Lu Cheng took decisive action, knocked the two guys out with two palms, and then began to clean up the battlefield.
These 12 gun dealers each have a box gun, some of which are made in Hanyang, and some are made in Germany, and they are all of good quality.
In addition, they also brought what Lu Cheng wanted, two 20-shot German-made pot-bellied box rifles, a flower-mouthed pistol, two dog-tag pistols, and corresponding bullets.
These two 20-shot big-bellied box rifles were not well maintained and were not as good as the one in Lu Cheng's hand, but they were indeed made in Germany. Each one was worth one hundred and fifty dollars, which was equivalent to two or three Zhongzheng rifles.
In addition to guns and ammunition, these people also contributed more than 100 silver dollars, to French francs, two telescopes, and ten watches of various types to Lu Cheng.
He looted all the valuables, even the clothes on them were not spared by Lu Cheng.
Many of the defeated soldiers under Lu Cheng were now half naked, and they would definitely not mind that these clothes were taken from dead people.
After cleaning up, Lu Cheng quickly put the 10 bodies into the storage space, walked to a valley not far away, and threw the 10 bodies into the valley.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng carried the two remaining guys out of the forest and gave each of them a big bag to wake them up: "Okay, you, take me to your warehouse first. You follow me."
"Yes, sir."
The two guys didn't dare to resist at all. Lu Cheng's gun was too fast and too accurate. Even if they wanted to run, they couldn't outrun the bullets in his gun.
After walking for more than half an hour, the three men arrived at the forest northwest of Zenda City. One of the gun dealers took the initiative to walk to a mountain wall, pushed aside a pile of dry grass and branches, revealing a small cave behind it. There were more than a dozen rifles in the cave, as well as some box guns, turtle boxes, various types of bullets, wooden-handled grenades, cans and other supplies.
“Why are there so few rifles?”
"Sir, rifles are not worth much. A good rifle costs only forty or fifty dollars, and it's big. Pistols are more valuable and easier to sell."
"Alright, alright." After saying that, Lu Cheng quickly made two slashes with his hands and knocked the two guys unconscious again. Then he collected all the guns, ammunition and supplies in the small cave, including some dollars, French francs, watches, etc.
After cleaning up everything and making sure that no money was left behind, Lu Cheng picked up the two guys again, walked a distance away, and let the other guy lead the way towards the other party's small warehouse.
These gun dealers who dare to do arms business are very cautious. They dare not hide their goods in the city. They hide them in a secluded place outside the city and usually leave one or two people to guard them.
This time, in order to deal with Lu Cheng, all these guys went out in full force, but were wiped out by Lu Cheng in one fell swoop.
When we arrived at another small warehouse, we also found a lot of rifles, pistols, bullets, grenades, sabers, as well as some canned food, candies, watches, money and other things.
After knocking the two guys out again and storing all the supplies into the storage space, Lu Cheng was quite pleased. This time he obtained more than 30 rifles, more than 40 pistols, and a lot of bullets and grenades. Together with some supplies and money, they were enough to arm a company.
I have to say, these gun dealers are really rich.
Fortunately, the current storage space is 12 cubic meters, which can be used to store a small 2-square-meter room with a height of 6 meters. It is more than enough to store these supplies.
Of course, the quality of this batch of guns was also uneven. Many of the rifles were Hanyang-made, and there were several turtle box pistols, or box guns of poor quality.
After confiscating all the supplies, Lu Cheng took the two survivors to a forest, set up two more beatings, beat them up, and asked, "I'll ask you a few final questions. I'll let you go after you answer them."
"Sir, please ask."
"With just a few of you, you dare to stockpile so many guns. I'm afraid there must be someone behind you, right?"
"Of course, buying and selling guns is illegal. If we didn't have someone to protect us, we wouldn't dare to do it. Besides, most of the money we made was handed over to the higher-ups. As you can see, we don't have much left. The goods we received recently have not been sold yet."
"Then do you know who the person above is?"
"this…"
One of the gun dealers was decisive: "I know, our boss is following a certain regiment commander of the Guangdong Army. The regiment commander's troops are stationed 50 miles east of Zenda City..."
"Our boss was following a regimental commander of the Yunnan Army..."
After the two of them finished explaining the situation, Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go now."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and said, "Sir, are you really willing to let us go?"
"Let's go, don't wait for me to regret it."
The two of them quickly turned around and ran, and soon they were a hundred meters away.
However, after two gunshots, the two guys fell on the way to escape without having time to say their last words.
Lu Cheng put away the Zhongzheng sword in his hand and clapped his hands. He was living in a turbulent time, and he must not keep anyone who dared to attack him.
What's more, the other party has also seen himself.
At this point, all twelve gun dealers were killed...
