Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 49: Collecting corpses

 “These guys really treat me as a fat sheep...”

Su Lun felt a few peeping glances on his back, and felt very bored.

 Having been to the black market so many times, I am very careful every time.

 This was the only time late at night and the first time I was stared at.

 But on second thought, if he were one of those wanderers, he would never miss the opportunity tonight.

 After all, the entrance fee for today’s auction is 5,000 yuan. If you just grab a few people, you won’t leave empty-handed.

 And those truly powerful bosses all have their own motorcycles, and loners like Su Lun are the most suitable "fat sheep".

  .....

 The Bird neighborhood in Beicheng District, where the black market is located, is originally a "three no matter" zone.

 Although there are no established gangs here, the crime rate remains high, higher than any other neighborhood in the outer city.

 Evil crimes such as robbery, extortion, murder, **** and humiliation often occur in this neighborhood. In some dark alleys, the corpses of unknown outsiders are always seen dead in the early morning.

　Those homeless people are not like gangsters. They have no scruples, no roots, and they don’t give face to anyone. Regardless of the three major gangs or the Public Security Department, if you have money, you will be a fat sheep, and if you encounter them, you will be unlucky.

 For example, the three sly-looking guys following Su Lun now.

 It was almost four o'clock in the morning when the auction ended. Although the intercity steam train in Old Town operates 24 hours a day, there were only a few people on the waiting platform unless factory workers were commuting.

 Su Lun was wrapped in a windbreaker and huddled his neck under the collar. The lowered brim of his hat concealed a deep look in his eyes.

 He observed everything around him.

 Because it was night, the main light on the lighthouse had been extinguished, and the light from the gas streetlight was not too strong, only illuminating a small area on both sides of the road.

 Besides him, there were two other people on the platform.

 A drunkard taking a nap on a chair, and an old lady who didn't know why she came out to hang out in the middle of the night.

At this moment, in the shadow of the lights across the road, Su Lun's eyes saw several figures running quickly. It seems that it also came from the direction of the black market.

  .....

 The hostility that loomed over his back was getting stronger and stronger, and the three wanderers were already on the platform.

 Su Lun's face had no strange color, as if nothing unusual was found.

 Perhaps the other party didn't expect that the guy waiting at the bus stop would be a semi-professional who was already employed. The three wanderers walked over with contempt on their faces.

 The two men stretched out a black gun barrel from their windbreakers, sealing off Su Lun's room for dodge. The leader pointed a gun at Su Lun's head and said straight to the point: "Brother, borrow some money to spend..."

 The standard opening line for a robbery.

 Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking the word "花", a gun barrel was stuffed into this guy's mouth like lightning, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.

 There was no verbosity, just a "bang" shot, and the head exploded into a mass of scarlet in front of his eyes.

Su Lun expressionlessly pulled the trigger, muttering in his mind: "If I were you, I would have shot ten meters away. Although I missed the hit, at least I had a chance to shoot..."

 Hunter's movements are actually very easy to predict, especially for non-professionals.

 The action of drawing the gun, the gap in aiming, and the timing of pulling the trigger... there is enough time for people to capture it.

 For Su Lun, a "gun expert", the three men's actions of drawing guns were just like children's play, with loopholes everywhere.

 At that moment, even if the gunman pointed the gun at his head, Su Lun did not feel any urgency of death.

　His current nerve reaction speed is enough for him to clearly catch the opponent's muscle twitching when he wants to pull the trigger, and then dodge before the opponent pulls the trigger, leaving him room to fire back.

 It was like a shot to the head right in front of me.

  .....

 However, the shot aimed at the head solved the problem, but the angle of the two muzzles aimed at Su Lun's body could not be completely avoided.

 Seeing their partner being killed in front of them, the other two gangsters were also confused for a moment, but they instinctively pulled the trigger.

 “touch!”

 “touch!”

 Two muskets spit out tongues of fire at the same time. Su Lun avoided one and hit him in the lower abdomen with the other.

 But at the same time that the projectile hit him, he fired two more shots with both hands, directly killing the two robbers who still had astonishment on their faces.

 Su Lun's lower abdomen was filled with white smoke from the bullet hole, but there was no blood.

 He only felt like he had been punched, neither painful nor itchy.

 “Fortunately, I wore a bulletproof vest...”

Su Lun was glad in his heart. This was why he didn't panic at all when he faced three guns just now.

 Three gangsters were headshotted in just one second. The drunk man on the platform woke up in fright, and the paper bag held by the old lady dropped to the floor in shock.

Su Lun didn’t intend to pay attention to these two passers-by, and planned to find another place to catch a ride.

 A few thieves with no eyes cleared up easily.

 This was originally a small matter.

 Unexpectedly, before he could put away his gun, a bizarre battle suddenly broke out on the opposite street!

  .....

Su Lun never expected that these few shots of his would actually explode a "big fish"!

  He had spotted the few people on the opposite side before. He originally thought they were wanderers and fat sheep, but unexpectedly, after the gunshot, those people were like frightened rabbits and suddenly started running wildly.

 Then the person being chased in front raised his hand and shot backward.

 And then...

 In Su Lun's field of vision, a house that was hit actually had a big gap!

 “Alchemy Bullet?”

 Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly. Before he could put the musket into his holster, he did not hesitate at all. He instinctively crawled to the ground, then quickly rolled over and found a thick enough stone as a cover to avoid being accidentally injured. .

 The moment he saw the alchemy bullet, he guessed that the people on the other side were professionals!

 “Is it murder and selling goods?”

Su Lun guessed in his mind.

 But what comes next is even more exaggerated.

 While those were chasing, one man's hands suddenly burst into flames, and with one punch, a ferocious fire dragon swept dozens of meters across the street. The other chasers also took out various firearms and fired at the people in front of them.

Su Lun looked at the power of this punch, and then saw the alchemy bombs exploding all over the street, and his face darkened.

 At this moment, he knew that he was afraid that he had accidentally entered a battle between high-level professionals.

 Without a second thought, he immediately planned to turn around and leave.

  In a battle of this level, if you get involved in it, you don’t know how you will die.

 Unfortunately, things went counterproductive.

 …........

 The chased cloaked man wanted to escape along the street, but he didn't expect that there were people blocking him in front of him.

Su Lun even saw the people surrounding him before anyone else, and thought something bad in his heart: "Don't come over..."

 But obviously, with both ends blocked, the cloak had no choice but to head towards the other side of the street.

 And across the street is the platform where Su Lun is hiding!

 The cloaked man had no way to escape, so he came over in the direction of Selun.

  Being surrounded by so many people, this guy is naturally not a good person. But when he suddenly stretched out his arms, the two steel cables shot out with a "whoosh" and hung on the iron pillars of the platform. Then as soon as the steel cable was retracted, he flew up.

Su Lun watched with dumbfounded expression as the man flew over his head like a big bird.

 Even with that glance, his eyes could clearly see the face under the cloak, and he looked sharply: "Hey... isn't that guy the woman with a million-dollar bounty on her head?"

 No wonder it’s worth so much money, it turns out he’s a high-level professional!

 People flew over his head, but Su Lun did not dare to move. If he ran away at this moment, the people behind him would probably be shot dead on the spot as the woman's accomplice.

 At this moment, a figure flew past Su Lun's head with "swish", "swish" and "swish".

 There was constant gunfire.

 Su Lun immersed himself in being his own ostrich, looking for opportunities to escape.

 At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" sound, like the sound of a heavy object falling.

 Looking closely, a corpse with a shattered head fell beside him.

 “…”

Su Lun felt confused throughout the whole process.

 Looking again, no one cared about this little transparent passerby. All the men in black were chasing the woman into the depths of the alley, and the gunshots were getting farther and farther away.

 The gray mist on the corpse was instantly swallowed up because it was close enough.

 "Obtain memory fragments of 'Ferry Valentine'*3"

 "You got a message: 'Damn woman, if we can't catch him, we will all die...'"

 “You have mastered some ‘advanced mechanical knowledge’...”

 "You have understood the earth alchemy [Triple Earth Thorn]..."

 "Spellcasting experience +19"

 「Psychic Power +0.29」

 “People from the umbrella organization?”

Su Lun quickly learned the origin of the corpse from the stripped information center.

 Looking around, he didn't hesitate at all. He directly picked up the musket and storage ring on the corpse, and then headed towards the black market.

 It is said that the boss behind the "Shadow Alley" black market is a top powerhouse who can't even do anything to the inner city.

 The safest place Su Lun can think of at this moment is to go back to the black market!

  .....

 It all went well. Su Lun avoided the direction of the gunshots and returned to the black market unimpeded.

The things belonging to the Umbrella Organization were not easy to get, so he did not dare to keep the stolen goods in his hands and sold them all to black market merchants.

 The gun and everything in the storage ring were packed together and sold for more than one million.

 The fighting outside is getting louder and louder, even attracting hidden professionals in the black market.

Su Lun also followed the crowd and went out.

 He did not go to see the excitement, wandered a few blocks, and cautiously returned to Green Street.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that this thrilling night was like an hallucination.

 Half an hour ago, he was so poor that he only had living expenses left.

 Then, because of a bizarre chase and gun battle, and picking up a flying corpse from the sky, inexplicably...I became rich?
