A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 794 - 780: Fire Fight

The entire large warehouse was very spacious, with hardly any extra installations.

Apart from the iron-made seats, there was only a large stage in the center.

Behind the stage,

there was an open gate.

This type of warehouse had entrances on both sides; Baiyu and others had entered through the entrance, while the exit was behind the stage.

At this moment,

the two iron doors of that exit were wide open.

Outside, there was a large truck, modified multiple times, with its surface fully inlaid with alloy steel plates.

Just at a glance at the truck,

one could tell its defensive capability was top-notch.

And whoever owned it certainly wasn't lacking in strength either.

Baiyu found a seat and sat down, looking at the stage, "So this is how it is. All the goods are loaded onto the truck?

This allows for easy transport.

And around the truck, there are many guards stationed, making it virtually impenetrable."

Wang Shenghua nodded, "I think so too, so let's just observe for now, or maybe we shouldn't make a move."

Baiyu glanced at her.

Soon,

a middle-aged man wearing black clothes and a bowler hat stepped onto the stage, holding an old-looking loudspeaker in his hand, he announced in an emphatic voice:

"Welcome, everyone, to Old Man Lucky's underground auction.

This time,

I've prepared many good things for you.

As long as you can pay the bottle caps,

I can even kidnap the company's CEO's daughter and sell her to you."

This middle-aged man's voice was quite infectious, with a touch of humor.

After he finished speaking,

there were some faint chuckles from the crowd.

The auction soon started.

Such underground black market auctions typically involved bidding, as demonstrated now, with the middle-aged man taking an item from the truck and standing on the stage, introducing its Effect to everyone.

There were all sorts of things for sale.

Aside from weapons, food, clothing, there were also many bizarre items.

However,

the weirder an item is, the higher the price tends to be. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After a brief observation, Baiyu noticed that besides bottle caps, there was a more solid currency.

Bullets!

In the wasteland, bullets are something everyone needs, and you can never have too many of them.

With bullets,

you can exchange for anything else, regardless of whether the other party is willing or not.

High-value items,

are generally exchanged with bullets.

After selling a large batch of goods, the middle-aged auctioneer known as Old Man Lucky finally brought out the night's highlight item.

"Level Three Genetic Elixir from the Rock Gathering, the effect after consumption is to partially petrify the body.

Of course,

this petrification doesn't last long.

However, it is strong enough to be classified as Level Three."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could set a price, a loud gunshot shattered the peace.

Immediately afterward,

assault rifles spewed flames within the warehouse, violent sparks erupting on the surrounding walls.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Lucky remained calm.

One would expect that encountering such a situation, any normal auctioneer might freeze in fear.

But this isn't a normal auction.

And the auctioneer isn't a normal auctioneer, either.

With a thud, he closed the metal box containing the Genetic Elixir, rolled to the ground, and somehow produced a revolving assault rifle, sweeping towards the crowd with it.

With that sweep,

chaos erupted instantly.

A brawl broke out before Baiyu and Wang Shenghua could even move.

"Looks like I'm not the only one thinking of a zero budget acquisition tonight."

Baiyu hid to the side, murmuring.

Wang Shenghua nodded, holding her breath, watching the escalating gunfight with a gleam in her eyes.

The more chaotic the scene, the greater their opportunity.

She and Baiyu were the strongest individuals here; now was the time to fish in troubled waters.

"He's retreating. The firepower here is too fierce; holding this attack at bay would only result in eventual breach. Tonight's heist must have been planned for a long time, the attackers came with strong momentum."

Baiyu watched as the man retreated under the guards' covering fire into the armored truck.

The armored truck was parked outside the warehouse.

He could leave whenever he wanted.

The guards around the vehicle were tight, making it difficult for the robbers to break through immediately.

Soon,

the truck door slammed shut.

A group of guards fired while retreating, preparing to break through with the heavy armored truck.

However,

a thunderous explosion interrupted their plan to advance.

That was the sound of a high-explosive grenade.

A large pit was blown open in front of the armored truck, and the collapsing wall of the warehouse blocked the vehicle's path instantly.

"Let's go, get out of the warehouse."

The number of robbers flooding into the warehouse was increasing, and with the armored truck unable to leave, Old Man Lucky's men fought back fiercely as well.

Without a doubt,

this warehouse would become a battleground between the two sides.

Staying inside would surely result in being riddled with stray bullets.

The two of them adeptly climbed up the beams inside the warehouse, and Baiyu punched a two-meter-wide hole in the roof, quickly getting onto the rooftop.

However,

once on the roof, they saw how outrageous the situation truly was.

Besides the intense battle inside the warehouse, outside was also a great melee.

This was clearly,

at least the power of a single faction!

"Wang Shenghua, are you sure we came to the underground market tonight? Are their deals usually this explosive?"

Baiyu shouted.

Wang Shenghua was clearly puzzled as well; it was just a transaction, even for a Level Three Genetic Elixir, the scene before them was unbelievably exaggerated.

Impossible.

A Level Three Genetic Elixir wasn't that valuable.

"You're asking me how should I know; this is the underground market, but the reactions of these people, I'm also baffled.

Something's not right.

There's a high possibility that there's something valuable on that truck.

That's why these people are so frenzied.

Baiyu, let's retreat; we might have stumbled into a gang war tonight."

Wang Shenghua already contemplated withdrawing.

However,

just then, a layer of light spread out from above.

Blue light flickered with electric arcs.

"You think you can really take the 'Iron Wall'? Hahaha, stay, today is the day you won't leave."

A loud shout echoed from the sky.

A blue electric current shot down from the light screen.

With Baiyu and Wang Shenghua's keen eyes, they could clearly see that the blue electric current enveloped a person!

Mutant!

"Looks like we can't leave even if we want to now."

Baiyu squinted at the electric screen surrounding them.
