Chapter 8: High-Priced Bounty

The model of this pistol was something she had specifically researched: small in size, light in weight, with minimal recoil, and equipped with a silencer, making it the perfect choice for use as a covert weapon.

The shopkeeper glanced at Nadine and then said coldly, "Please show me your gun license."

Nadine didn't speak but instead said calmly, "Double the price!"

The shopkeeper remained silent.

Nadine continued, "Triple!"

The shopkeeper turned and took a black box from the shelf.

Nadine opened it.

Inside the small box was the ZEVoZ9 pistol.

She held the gun in her hand, testing its feel, and indeed, it fit perfectly.

"I also want a thousand bullets."

Bullets were consumables; one less meant one less, so it was natural to stock up a bit more.

The shopkeeper shook his head; even if Nadine offered a high price, it wasn't possible: "At most a hundred rounds!"

A hundred rounds would have to suffice; it was better than none at all.

Nadine put the box containing the gun and bullets into her shoulder bag, actually placing them into her space, and then left calmly.

Afterward, she visited several other gun shops, but once they saw she was from Hua Country, they basically refused to sell firearms to her.

It was already past eight in the evening.

To avoid becoming cannon fodder for a stray bullet, Nadine drove straight to a five-star hotel and checked in.

Lying in the massage bathtub, Nadine began to reflect on her achievements of the day.

The most important thing, the grains, flour, oil, meat, and eggs, were all sorted out.

Although it was just a reservation, she wasn't afraid of David and the others cheating her.

If they dared to cheat her, she could just take everything from their warehouse.

Gasoline and diesel were also bought in considerable quantities.

However, it was still far from enough.

Cars, speedboats, motorcycles, generators – they were all heavy consumers of fuel, and once they were used up, there would be no place to replenish them. She had to stock up more.

She still had time; after all, L Country wasn't a major oil producer. If necessary, she could just make a trip to a rich country.

Now, what troubled her most was the issue of firearms and ammunition.

L Country's hostility toward people from Hua Country meant they wouldn't allow her to buy too many firearms.

One pistol and a hundred bullets were simply not enough.

Ah, it was a pity she didn't know their arsenal; otherwise, she could have emptied it in minutes.

Once this thought occurred to her, she couldn't shake it off.

Remembering the chaos in the apocalypse when people from L Country smuggled into Hua Country and used their ammunition to plunder the survival resources, Nadine's eyes turned cold.

She took out a laptop from her space and searched online for the specific location of the L Country arsenal.

There were indeed forums revealing the locations of L Country's arsenals, mostly within several military districts.

However, those addresses were too broad.

Those places were definitely heavily guarded, and she estimated that she would be shot before she could even get close.

Nadine tried asking on the forum, but no one knew the specific coordinates.

Instead, a reply from a netizen caught her interest.

"Hey, brave one, are you planning to blow it up once you get the coordinates? I support you! Unfortunately, I don't know the coordinates, but I suggest you try the dark web. There, as long as you have money, you can buy everything, including intelligence."

Nadine thought it was a good idea.

If it were in her past life, she definitely wouldn't touch the dark web.

But things were different now.

Soon, the entire world would plunge into hellish apocalypse.

Who would care about the dark web then?

Maybe by then, the dark web wouldn't even exist anymore.

Nadine directly bought access to the dark web from that kind netizen.

Upon entering the dark web, she immediately posted a high-priced bounty: one hundred thousand L coins for the exact coordinates of an arsenal.

As soon as the bounty was posted, before anyone could respond, it attracted a lot of ridicule.

"Hey, where did this little cutie come from? Can you tell big brother what you want the coordinates for?"

"Planning to sneak in and steal firearms? Or are you going to blow it up!"

"Hahaha, are you kidding, upstairs? Want to go give L Country soldiers some heads?"

Failing to obtain any useful information, Nadine put the computer back into her space and stopped paying attention.

Opening her notes, she confirmed tomorrow's procurement tasks, then went to bed.

It was another night tormented by nightmares, filled with bloody memories from her past life.

Waking up early, Nadine ran on the treadmill for over an hour until dawn before washing up and having breakfast.

The food in L Country may not have much flavor, but it was high in energy.

The room service brought a whole table of food, including oatmeal porridge, sausages, fried potato cakes, biscuits, slices of bread, soft buns, waffles, donuts, French toast, croissants, Danish pastries.

Coffee, milk, tea, and juice were all provided.

Plus, L Country's unique meat patties and egg sandwiches.

It all looked quite sumptuous.

Nadine ate some sausages, bread, and milk, and then stored the rest into her space.

When the waiter came to collect the plates and saw the empty plates, not even a crumb left, he sneered and said, "Pig? How can you eat so much!"

The person being called a pig, Nadine, was currently driving to the largest chain pharmacy nearby.

If she bought from pharmacies in her country, she would only get limited quantities.

Over here in L Country, as long as it wasn't prohibited or restricted, there were fewer limitations. As long as you had money and they had it in stock, they would sell it to you.

Nadine wanted some common medicines like fever reducers, cold medicine, cough suppressants, and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as some medicines for stomach problems and diarrhea.

And also some medical supplies for treating injuries, such as powders, sprays, disinfectants, alcohol swabs, iodine, gauze bandages, and adhesive bandages.

In addition, there were also health supplements that would be impossible to produce after the apocalypse, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, calcium tablets, folic acid, probiotics, cod liver oil, lecithin, lutein, liver protection pills, melatonin, grape seed extract, etc.

She ordered over a hundred of each type.

Once the pharmacy staff confirmed that Nadine wasn't joking, they had no further questions.

They went straight into the warehouse to fetch her the goods.

Following the same procedure, Nadine went to five pharmacies in a row and stocked up on over a thousand medicines before finally stopping.

After buying the medicines, she went straight to a distributor's office for generators.

Before the staff could even ask her to leave, she spoke up, "Five units of each model of household generator."

This was no small quantity; even if the businesses below came to restock, they wouldn't buy this many.

The staff naturally welcomed Nadine warmly and then happily escorted her out.

They had just delivered these ten or so models, sixty or seventy generators, to the warehouse, and the next moment, Nadine stored them all into her space.

Following the recommendation of the generator staff, Nadine's next stop was at the office of a solar generator distributor.
