Chapter 174: Chapter 161: This Person Is Not Simple! Who Is the Prey?
At first, Lu Feng couldn’t be sure, but his suspicions were confirmed after the four people spent a long time observing Qingfeng Base from the top of that building.
These four people were here for Qingfeng Base.
But as far as he knew, Qingfeng Base had never provoked the City East Alliance.
’Could it be that Qingfeng Base has attracted the attention of the City East Alliance? Is this just routine surveillance?’
That was a possibility.
After all, the City East Alliance was arguably the overlord of the entire city. The other bases were like minor vassals within their domain.
So, it wouldn’t be surprising if the City East Alliance were to do something like this.
Many factions had an inexplicable desire for control.
But this didn’t align with the City East Alliance described in the game’s lore.
In the game, the City East Alliance’s Flame Emperor was said to have very high charisma.
That was the conclusion many players reached after finishing the City East Alliance’s story missions.
The main reason so many survivors from the City East Alliance remained after the "Berserk Zombie Arc," later splitting into numerous smaller factions, was that the Flame Emperor had calmly sacrificed himself. He plunged deep into a tide of zombies and beasts to perish along with the Hexagonal Beast.
The Hexagonal Beast at that time was nothing like the one he had encountered at Red Leaf Base; it had become a true BOSS.
To make a comparison, the one he’d encountered at Red Leaf Base was in the Hexagonal Beast’s nascent stage.
It was just like Sharu in the anime *Dragon Ball* right after emerging from the lab—anyone could have taken it down.
By the time the true "Berserk Zombie Arc" arrived, the Hexagonal Beast would be at its peak, just like Sharu in *Dragon Ball* after absorbing the androids to reach his perfect form. Not even Sun Wukong’s self-destruction as a Saiyan could have dealt with it.
Of course, that wasn’t to say the Hexagonal Beast was as powerful as Sharu—that would be impossible. It was just an analogy.
’So, the City East Alliance probably wouldn’t stoop to this.’
’But there had to be a reason these four were here.’
Lu Feng soon discovered that the four were actually approaching Qingfeng Base.
He kept his game-like perspective fixed on the four of them.
Fortunately, their path led through areas he had previously explored, allowing him to monitor them continuously.
Moreover, these four were clearly formidable; they managed to approach Qingfeng Base without being spotted by its Hidden Guards.
It was worth noting that Qingfeng Base had a significant number of Hidden Guards. After the members of Red Leaf Base joined, Lin Jiao had arranged for many more.
These people had already entered the Hidden Guards’ surveillance perimeter, yet they had managed to perfectly evade their line of sight.
’They were no amateurs.’
...
"President Lu, we’ve arrived at Tal Village." Black Snake’s voice rang out as the vehicles came to a stop.
When Lu Feng stepped out of the vehicle, Hadona, Red Lizard, and their men also got out, looking at him with reverence.
He saw a fortified village not far away.
Although Dalat Town was the hub for weapons trading, buyers were normally not allowed to enter the town itself.
This was an unwritten rule among the factions that occupied Dalat Town.
After all, that place was their lair.
In the past, rival groups of buyers had run into each other, sparking battles that embroiled many of Dalat Town’s residents.
Therefore, the factions established villages outside Dalat Town to host their clientele.
However, they didn’t just trade with anyone who arrived.
First, they would vet a potential client to ensure there were no issues—namely, that you could afford the payment.
The size of the deal also determined the level of hospitality you received.
If you were just buying a handgun, there was a special window in the village for that—you went there on your own and didn’t bother anyone.
If you wanted to buy a truckload of weapons, they would certainly host you with great enthusiasm. If the quantity was massive, the faction leaders themselves would come to receive you personally.
The nearby Tal Village was operated by the Kudar Clan. The two Kudar brothers were one of the five major factions in Dalat Town. They were from Ah Country, possessed the most weapons production lines, and could even provide scarce goods and heavy weaponry.
This was why he had chosen the Kudar Clan, based on the descriptions from Red Lizard and the others.
Hadona spoke up then, "President Lu, we first need to enter Tal Village to register. They’ll arrange temporary accommodations for us, and then someone will come to discuss the trade and finalize the arrangements..."
This kind of arms deal wasn’t as simple as buying a normal product, nor was it as perfunctory as often depicted in movies.
Moreover, the factions in Dal Town didn’t offer delivery services.
The surrounding areas were all chaotic countries. The combination of mixed factions, various businesses, and the clients who came to them in person was already enough to meet their sales demands.
Lu Feng and his group got back into the vehicles and headed for Tal Village. As soon as they reached the entrance, someone was there to handle registration, noting who was entering and the number of people in their party.
Lu Feng had Hadona register Red Lizard’s name, then allowed the man to count the number of people in their group.
Many who came here to buy weapons were unwilling to reveal their real names and identities, at most registering under a pseudonym or a moniker.
Everyone concealed their identity to some extent.
After registration, Lu Feng and his party were assigned to a courtyard.
As they walked past, they saw that many surrounding courtyards were already occupied by people, all of whom looked fierce and were armed.
They were clearly here for the same reason they were: to purchase weapons.
Their party’s arrival drew the attention of the others, but only for a moment. After all, anyone who came here was a heavy hitter, and no one wanted to start a fight for no reason.
