As Han Xiao desperately needed food and water, he gave in to the merchant's demand.
Sighing, he aligned 150 bullets on the back of the truck.
Suddenly, the big bearded man waved a finger.
"180."
Han Xiao glared at him.
"Ohoho! Such scary eyes. Do you want to kill me or something? Quickly, people, come and see! This man wants to kill me!"
Dozens of wanderers gathered around in an instant. Some of them even came with sticks and bats.
"This is our territory. Are you trying to be funny kid?"
"Okay, okay. 180 bullets. Fuck me."
Han Xiao hastily threw out more bullets in case he jacked the price up further.
The merchant laughed shrewdly and sent someone to fetch the goods.
After confirming the items, Han Xiao raised a middle finger at the merchant before turning around.
Suddenly, the merchant spoke.
"Hey, are you planning to walk out of the forest?"
"Why, you have a problem with that?"
"I have an old pickup. Want it?" asked the bearded merchant nicely.
"Not as though I can afford your price." Han Xiao shot back.
"Oh, I think you can," said the merchant as he pointed towards Han Xiao's bag. "You have so many bullets. You must have many guns too."
Han Xiao's bag was indeed full of gunshigh quality ones at that. He had looted from the Night Owl Squad. He even had the sniper rifle and some Kevlar vests. He could easily afford an old pickup.
However, Han Xiao shook his head.
A car would leave a trail. Han Xiao would rather not try racing a helicopter. Walking was safer.
Furthermore, if the Germinal Organization's agents discovered their guns here, it would be disastrous not only for Han Xiao, but for the wanderers here as well. In some sense, it would be dishonest of him to sell them.
Although Han Xiao had recently killed a big number of people, it was not out of perverseness. It was to survive.
The merchant, however, was not an easily dissuaded person.
He was about to speak again when, suddenly, a man's voice boomed out. "Kai Luo! You're taking advantage of outsiders again!"
A well-built man clad in hunter's clothes patched with animal skins appeared behind the crowd. As he strode forward to the centre of the crowd, everyone shifted to make way for him. The man seemed to command respect.
The big bearded merchant groaned.
"Hu Xuan Jun, I just painstakingly closed a deal. Don't come and interfere!"
Hu Xuan Jun grabbed the bullets on the truck up and pushed them back into Han Xiao.
"The stuff you want isn't actually worth much. Treat it as a gift. Here, take these back."
