ALL NOVEL Chapter 63 Armed
"These maps are really too abstract." After reading the map carefully, Liang En raised his head and said to Bruce, his employer this time.
"So I may need some time to do the analysis, can you provide a safe and secure venue?"
"Of course, I have well-equipped guest rooms in this office building." Bruce nodded, "Do you have any special requirements for this room?"
"I need a computer that can quickly query the Internet, and at the same time, it can deliver food to me on time every day." At this point, Liang En picked up the notebook on the table. "Of course, I also need this notebook as a reference."
In the next three days, Liang En began his analysis work in the guest room of this building. Seriously, there isn't much to analyze on the map, just a bunch of doodles made up of triangles, squares, lines and red dots.
According to Liang En's guess, these different symbols may represent certain landmarks that only treasure hunters know. However, in the absence of legends, ordinary people would not be able to find this place unless they are lucky.
But Liang En is not an ordinary person, and his busyness in the past three days was just to deceive others. What I really rely on is the [Detection (R)] card lying in my mind.
And Goldfinger did not let him down. Just after he used this card on his notebook, a place in Utah appeared in his mind.
Obviously, it is much easier to draw a target after shooting an arrow than to shoot an arrow at the bullseye. So Liang En quickly deciphered the secret of one of the hand-drawn maps through the satellite map around the place in his mind.
To be honest, this map is not that complicated. The triangles on the map should represent mountains, the squares represent buildings, and the lines may be rivers or roads.
It's just because the other party's drawing is too rough and the proportions are completely incorrect. Therefore, it would be difficult for normal people to associate a certain place from this picture unless they knew it in advance.
"You mean, you think this red dot is located in Utah, near Butch Cassidy's hometown." Looking at Liang En, who was sitting opposite him, Bruce didn't understand his analysis.
"But after he became a famous robber, the local police chief, the FBI and the Pinkerton Detective Agency all sent people to his hometown to investigate, but those people did not find any treasures. .”
"But if you just look at the lines on the final map of the diary you gave me, it does look a bit like a river a few kilometers away from the ranch where this person was born -"
Liang En immediately started to explain after hearing what the other party said, but before he finished speaking, his employer, Mr. Bruce, waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Since I invited you here, I will naturally trust all your judgments in this regard, so you don't need to explain your analysis to me, you just need to tell me what you need for the next expedition-"
Early the next morning, Liang En got on the plane to Salt Lake City. Then he met up with one of Bruce's subordinates in Utah at the airport, and then flew towards the destination in the other's pickup truck.
This Bruce's man named Barry was Liang En's assistant during this treasure hunt, and Liang En applied for it on his own initiative.
On the one hand, the density of various racists in central America is slightly higher, especially in places far away from towns. Therefore, in this unfamiliar and dangerous place, Liang En really needs an assistant to help deal with some problems. question.
On the other hand, this is only the first time Liang En and Mr. Bruce have cooperated. Although the two parties have reached initial mutual trust through an intermediary, sometimes one party has to take the initiative to do something to strengthen the trust between the two parties.
Just when Liang En suggested that Mr. Bruce send someone to follow him, the other party was obviously relieved. And then Mr. Bruce took the initiative to provide all the help needed for the rest of the trip.
Not far from the airport, the car stopped in a parking lot. The reason for stopping here was naturally to buy some things in the supermarket opposite the parking lot.
After entering the supermarket, the two people first bought some food and water, and then went to the back of the supermarket where sporting goods were sold. When they turned around the last shelf, a wall of guns appeared in front of Liang En.
In the United States, it is normal for guns to be sold in supermarkets. They are placed here in dozens and dozens for people to choose from. They look no different from buying a fishing rod or a racket.
"We need to temporarily buy some guns here." The brown-haired young man named Barry said to Liang En. "Because the place we're going to is so desolate, you're going to need some weapons, whether it's for wildlife or for protection against certain people."
Although Liang En is a foreigner, he can still legally purchase guns here because Mr. Bruce has helped him apply for a hunting license for deer hunting.
"You are a non-US citizen, so you can only buy rifles or airsoft guns, but not pistols." After confirming that the passport and hunting certificate held by Liang En were authentic, the waiter said to Liang En.
"I came here just to buy a rifle. It's not a good idea to use a pistol when hunting large animals." Liang En replied with a shrug. "I have only used double-barreled shotguns in my hometown, so can you recommend one to me?"
"If you are hunting deer, I have just the right kind of gun for you." After thinking for a few seconds, the waiter took out a box from behind the counter.
After the box was moved to the counter, Liang En noticed that there were Chinese characters written on the box. "The Chinese version of SKS is cost-effective and powerful, and is also suitable for deer hunting."
The salesperson said, opening the box and taking out one of them. “This is a hot item, and often you can’t even buy it if you want to.”
The so-called Huaxia SKS is actually the famous 56 and a half. As export products, these guns are basically the same as the real military versions except that the bayonet seat is removed to meet the requirements.
Because he had the memory of the former East German soldier, Liang En checked the gun more skillfully and bought the gun after confirming that the gun was in good condition.
In addition, Liang En also bought 15 10-round bridge clips filled with bullets, 150 rounds of scattered bullets in foam plastic boxes, and a tactical vest for holding bullets.
As for Barry himself, he carried his own gun in the car: a MINI-14 semi-automatic rifle, so there was no need to purchase a firearm here.
However, because this supermarket had a great discount on 5.56×45mm NATO rifle ammunition today, he also bought an additional 300 rounds of ammunition.
After leaving the supermarket, Liang En separated the gun and bullets in the tool box under the back seat as required. Then the two people drove straight to the destination more than a hundred kilometers away.
However, after their vehicle entered the national park, the vehicle suddenly slowed down. Because Liang En and the others wanted to find a place to try guns to determine their skill in using firearms and the status of the newly purchased firearms.
This really makes it easier to make appropriate arrangements in case of an emergency if something happens.
