In China, weapons such as rifles, submachine guns, could only be found in the military and armed police stations. In a general police station, one could only find a few pistols, body armor and the like.
After doomsday, pistols were easy to get, but as for rifles, it was much more difficult to get; especially places far away from the military. In doomsday, what would cost more? It wasn't food, but transportation of goods.
"How far is the black market away from here?" Jiang Liushi was clearly intrigued. It was not worth selling weapons in Satellite Town, plus they would probably offend the military, as trading weapons was their business.
On the other hand, the black market was much more promising, they could profit a lot from doing business there. Although it was far away, Jiang Liushi believed that his MCV was enough to get them safely to the black market.
