Chapter 14: The Unpredictable Disaster(1/2)
Rumble——
A huge crawler-type flatbed truck drove over.
The bulging car was covered with a thick layer of oilcloth and fixed with steel wires.
Duke looked at the radiation detector on his wrist. The "click-click" sound was extremely rapid, and the pointer was already in the yellow position, almost approaching the red area.
Although Duke did not know the amount of radiation represented by each scale of the radiation detector, he knew that if the pointer reached the red area, people would die quickly!
The things on the flatbed truck contain strong radiation!
People in the Cataclysm Era are more or less resistant to radiation, but they are not fearless of radiation and have not yet evolved to that level.
Duke subconsciously prepared to run away.
Fortunately, just when Duke was about to retreat first, the tracked flatbed truck stopped.
“Everyone, let’s stop talking nonsense. Look at the goods first, then trade!”
A man with short red hair wearing a steel plate armor and several scars on his face walked out from behind the flatbed truck. He didn't seem to care about the radiation on the truck at all.
Duke was a little surprised.
"This is one of the leaders of the Bloody Hand Club. Come on, drink this."
Matthew handed over a thumb-sized glass bottle containing a light green liquid.
"What's this?"
"Anti-radiation agent, drinking it can temporarily avoid a certain amount of radiation."
Matthew explained, and then drank the anti-radiation agent first.
Others wearing masks also took out a bottle of anti-radiation agent and drank it.
"good."
Although Duke was skeptical about this so-called anti-radiation agent, when he saw Matthew drinking it, he drank it in one gulp.
It's refreshing in the mouth and doesn't have any weird smell.
After swallowing it, Duke felt warm and comfortable in his stomach.
At this time, other people around him said nothing and walked directly towards the flatbed truck after drinking.
"Let's go there too."
Matthew said softly, and then walked over first.
Duke hesitated a little, but finally followed.
He is not an ink-spotting person, and now that he is here, he is also very curious about what is under the oilcloth.
The red-haired man winked at the people around him,
In the distance, there are several tightly wrapped people pulling the wire in their hands.
Wow——
The oilcloth on the flatbed truck was pulled away, revealing the hill-like figure inside.
"This is……"
"Oh My God!"
Almost everyone was shocked, even Matthew. Although he knew about it in advance, he still couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
"Is this the Death Claw..."
"Deathclaw?"
Duke silently recited the name in his mind.
This is an extremely huge creature. It is two meters tall when lying on a flatbed truck, and it is estimated to be five or six meters tall when standing up!
There is a cold light on the huge claws, and there are several rows of sickle-like teeth in the open mouth, demonic horns, steel-like scales, and an extremely thick tail...
In Duke's eyes, this was a monster that looked like both a dinosaur and a lizard. But somehow, Duke didn't feel too surprised, as if it wasn't the first time he had seen a death claw.
When he first saw the ghoul on the first floor, he had a vague feeling like this.
As for other people, just looking at the Death Claw makes their blood freeze, even if it is already dead.
Yes, this deathclaw has lost its vitality, and there is a hole the size of a bucket on its chest.
"Everyone, this is a real Deathclaw! In order to hunt this thing, our Bloody Hand Club suffered heavy losses, and dozens of brothers were left in the wilderness forever, so... the one with the highest price gets it!"
The red-haired man said loudly.
Everyone did not express their opinions immediately, but started talking quietly.
Matthew whispered to Duke:
"You can't believe everything he said. I believe he said he killed more than a dozen people, but to say that they were specifically hunting Death Claws is simply impossible. They must have missed them!"
"Is this death claw very powerful?"
Duke asked in a low voice. Although he seemed very fierce, Duke still wanted to make sure.
"That's natural. This monster must be bombarded with heavy firepower, or the awakened people can join forces to deal with it, but they may not win. As far as I know, the Bloody Hand Club does not have this level of heavy firepower. As for the awakened people... they
Only a few Awakened ones? Even if they are all present, they are still no match for the Death Claws. They are not on the same level at all!"
Matthew obviously knows a lot about the Bloody Hands Club.
Duke nodded after listening.
It seems that this monster is much stronger than he imagined, but then again, why buy this thing?
Duke didn't understand. After all, this thing has such high radiation. If you buy it back, you might have to treat the whole village to a feast - no, maybe the whole village will be gone.
"Boss, what's the base price?"
A hoarse voice came from the crowd.
"Three hundred thousand!"
The red-haired man stretched out his five fingers.
After hearing this number, everyone started talking in low voices again.
Three hundred thousand, to be honest, this price is not high for a Deathclaw corpse, but the problem is, this is the lowest price, and as long as they compete, the price will definitely keep rising.
Matthew crossed his hands and tapped his fingers lightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Duke was a little surprised when he saw it. Matthew seemed to be richer than he thought!
"Three hundred thousand!"
Someone spoke.
Others are not far behind.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
"..."
"Half a million!"
In the blink of an eye, the price has reached half a million.
This price is already close to the limit. Any more may exceed the value that the death claw itself can bring, and some losses outweigh the gains.
The momentum of bidding slowed down.
Matthew finally spoke:
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
After the price was exported, everyone was silent for a while.
"I quit."
"I'm quitting too..."
Some people shook their heads, and one after another others announced their withdrawal.
The price of 550,000 was a bit high and exceeded their psychological expectations.
After waiting for five seconds and no one bid again, the red-haired man nodded with a smile on his face and was about to speak.
"Six hundred thousand!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded.
The person who spoke was the one who asked about the lowest price in the first place. He was also wearing a black robe and a ghost face mask. It should be the costume provided by the same hotel. However, his figure was much stronger than Duke and Matthew.
,
Matthew's face under the mask was a little ugly, but he finally shook his head and chose to give up. With all his wealth added up, he could spend up to 550,000 yuan, including the 30,000 yuan he just won.
To be continued...
