Soon, Zhang Pengju replied: "The leader of the Sand Silk Mercenary Group said that they only want money. As long as you take off your clothes, leave all your supplies, and leave the city, they will not make a move."
Zhang Pengju relayed the message, and fearing that Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue wouldn't believe him, he even recorded a message: "Hahaha, you can beg me to let them go. I only want all the supplies they have. Then I won't take their lives. Just let them strip naked and leave the city."
The recording features a gruff male voice.
Ji Xian frowned deeply upon hearing this.
Xia Luoxue stomped her foot in anger: "This is too much! We'll just stay out of the city. As long as we stay out of the city, they won't dare to attack us."
The Sand Silk Mercenary Group is only sending people to follow them, naturally because they can't take action in the city. Following Ji Xian and his companion is simply to monitor when they will leave the city.
Once the two leave the city, that's when the Sand Silk Mercenary Group will make its move.
Ji Xian felt that staying in the city was not a good solution.
It's a bit like catching a turtle in a jar.
Moreover, a surge of anger was rising in Ji Xian's heart.
He had already made concessions, intending to pay some money to settle the matter and let it go, but the Sand Silk Mercenary Group took advantage of his kindness and were so greedy, treating him like a pushover.
Ji Xian thought and thought, trying to find another solution.
I originally wanted to live a better life after transmigrating to another world, but before I could even live a good life, I had to suffer this kind of humiliation.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get; I really can't stand it anymore.
After careful consideration, Ji Xian made a surprising decision.
"Have Zhang Pengju find a way to gather more information. I mainly want to know how many weapons the Sand Silk Mercenary Group has, especially high-tech weapons. By the way, have him do his best to handle this matter. Tell him I can give him extra money."
Xia Luoxue asked in surprise, "What are you trying to do?"
Ji Xian frowned and said, "In our country, there is a saying: 'Those who offend our country, though far away, shall be punished.' In our bloodline, we have never been a race willing to accept oppression and enslavement. Since they have gone too far in bullying us, I will naturally rise up in resistance."
"You want to go to war with them?"
"Yes, that's right, it's war!" Ji Xian said firmly and decisively.
Ji Xian's personality is, to put it mildly, quite timid.
Strictly speaking, this isn't about being cowardly; it's just that growing up in a harmonious social environment in the real world, he's not someone with a strong aggressive drive.
As the saying goes, patience brings peace and tranquility, and taking a step back opens up a vast expanse of sky and sea.
Ji Xian is a very gentle person.
But being gentle doesn't mean having no temper, and being gentle doesn't mean being easy to bully.
As the saying goes, "If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel like you've lost out."
Upon hearing Ji Xian's reply, Xia Luoxue showed little emotion, but said firmly, "Alright, I'll fight them with you!"
Ji Xian waved his hand: "No, no, no, that's too dangerous. I can go by myself. You stay in the city and wait for my good news."
Xia Luoxue refused outright: "No, I promised to protect you, and I will never let you be in danger alone."
Ji Xian didn't know how to explain to her that he could travel back to the real world at any time and escape if things went wrong, but Xia Luoxue couldn't.
Ji Xian's plan to fight against a group of people by himself was not an overconfident act.
In modern warfare, having more people does not necessarily mean you are better.
Ji Xian had been thinking about the automatic aiming devices on both sides of the counter in the general store.
As long as he installs this thing in the back seat of his car, he won't be afraid of anyone chasing him.
Ji Xian said, "Listen to me, stay in the city."
Xia Luoxue said seriously, "I can listen to you about anything else, but absolutely not about this!"
Xia Luoxue sent a message to Zhang Pengju, then turned and left Ji Xian's sight.
When Xia Luoxue reappeared, she had already changed back into her usual tight black clothes.
Seeing Xia Luoxue's resolute attitude, Ji Xian thought for a moment and said, "Let's go buy some high-tech weapons first."
If they could acquire high-tech weapons that would guarantee Xia Luoxue's safety, Ji Xian wouldn't necessarily refuse to let Xia Luoxue come along.
The two went out together and arrived at the general store.
Upon entering the general store, the machine guns on both sides of the counter, which automatically aimed, were once again aimed at Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue.
Ji Xian frowned.
He could never get used to the feeling of being targeted, no matter how many times he tried.
Ji Xian said directly, "I need two machine guns like yours with automatic aiming. How much do you want?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Ji Xian and said, "20 energy points per plane, plus 500 rounds of ammunition, 40 for two planes."
Wow, that's so cheap!
Ji Xian almost cried out in surprise.
He almost forgot that in the post-apocalyptic world, the price of items cannot be measured in terms of food.
He thinks it's cheap because the food he sells is expensive.
The post-apocalyptic world lacks not productivity, but food. This leads to a huge price gap between weapons and food.
Ji Xian decisively bought two auto-aiming machine guns, happily carrying them in his hands. They were a bit heavy, so he handed them to Xia Luoxue to carry.
Ji Xian then asked, "Do you have any more high-tech weapons here?"
The shopkeeper said calmly, "I don't have any high-tech weapons here. The weapons I sell here all existed before the apocalypse. The real high-tech weapons are in the hands of big cities and nobles."
Ji Xian glanced at the auto-aiming machine gun. This thing wasn't even considered a high-tech weapon?
Ji Xian really didn't know what high-tech weapons in this world should look like.
"Do you sell any relatively high-end weapons here?"
