The moment the introduction was over and the brand new and shining M134 Minigun was revealed to the public, everyone couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
It was laid quietly on the table with its six dark rotary barrels facing the crowd like a peerless treasure. On its right and left sides one big case of ammunition that contained 1500 bullets each.
Whether it was the regular hunters or the big shots executives of the Black Tiger Base, none of them were able to remain calm at this moment with their eyes wide open from shock.
They couldn't believe Manager Han was telling the truth. Many of them were skeptical about Manager Han auctioning a brand new M134 Minigun.
However, seeing the weapon in front of them, they were all in disbelief and found it hard to regain their composure.
That was even more true for the big shots on the second floor, their eyes were glued at the M134 Minigun on the stage, with their mouths salivating with greed.
At the same time, they all had one question on their minds; Where the hell did they find such a weapon?
One had to understand, a powerful weapon such as the M134 Minigun was extremely rare and valuable in this post-apocalyptic world.
It was one of the best and most coveted weapons in this post-apocalyptic world. Not only it was extremely effective in a zombie horde or hunting a mid-level zombie, but it could also serve as a deterrent even against a level 5 Awakener.
Many hunters dreamed of having such a powerful weapon in their arsenal. However, such powerful weapons could only be found in those high-level survival bases.
Furthermore, those who possessed such weapons would rather sell their kidneys than sell them. No one in their right state of mind would sell such a weapon in this post-apocalyptic world.
“It seems like Manager Han was telling the truth.” Someone gulped as he was looking at the weapon on the stage with greedy eyes.
“5100 white energy crystals.” Finally, someone couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted.
“What? A regular spot?” Seeing where the voice came from, not to mention the people on the first floor, even Manager Han and the big shots on the VIP room were surprised, including Natasha and Amelia.
At the same time, they all turned around towards the direction where the voice came from to look at the owner of the voice.
However, as the owner of the voice was wearing a mask to hide his appearance, no one was able to identify him.
Aside from the fact that one could tell that he was a man with black hair, no one knew what he looked like or who he was.
Even though the person was wearing a mask, he didn't look out of place in the auction room. There were dozens of other people wearing masks like him.
It was a way to protect themselves. As the saying stated: one shouldn’t show their wealth, even more in a lawless post-apocalyptic world.

Unless one had the power and influence to protect that wealth, it was simply looking to get killed and robbed.
Nonetheless, the people’s reaction was rather understandable.
With the starting price of the M134 Minigun, it was evident that only the nine executives and the other big shots in the VIP room could afford it.
As such, many people were expecting one of the people on the second floor to be bid while the people on the first floor stood and watched.
However, who would have thought that the first bidder was someone sitting in a normal chair on the first floor?
“Does that bastard really have that amount of white energy crystals on him?” Some questioned his financial abilities.
“Who knows?” Another added as he was sizing up the first bidder with a sinister look on his face.
While everyone was still trying to identify the first mask bidder as well as gauging his strength to rob his ass once the auction was over, Someone from the second floor swiftly retaliated with a sharp voice that revealed arrogance
“6000!”
This massive price increase scared the crowd to death. It was as if that person was trying to put the first bidder in his place as he raised the price by 900 white energy crystals in one go.
“6100.” Another voice that was chilly like iron sounded out from a VIP room again, and it also revealed a trace of slight arrogance.
“6200.” A third jumped in.
Sure enough, the first bidder didn't dare bid anymore and ran with his tail between his legs. At the same time, the crowd was also excited as the crazy bidding war started.
Even though they couldn't join in the fun, that didn't mean they couldn't enjoy it.
“6400!” A fourth didn’t relent.
“Old Fourth, Old Fifth, Old Seventh, give me face and let me have this one. There are still three more left. You can bid for them later.” The fourth bidder added.
The Nine Executives of the Black Tiger Base were all ranked by numbers. The higher the ranking number was, the stronger and more influential one was.
“Sorry Old 3rd, no can do. I bid 6500.” The previous third bidder swiftly added.
*“Good! Good! Go ahead and fight for it. That’s what I want*.” Thought Natasha with a devious smile on her face as she was listening to the Nine Executives fighting for the M134 Minigun.
She was extremely excited as her heart started to beat faster.
*“It seems like Amelia was telling the truth, those bastards don't get along.”*
This was the thing she was worried about the most as they were all part of the same influence. However, it seemed like her worry was groundless.
She was afraid that those bastards would conspire to get the M134 Miniguns for cheap by not bidding higher. But seeing how they were on each other’s throats, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only Natasha, but Amelia was also worried about that despite knowing that the Nine Executives didn't get along. However, seeing this fierce bidding war, Amelia almost felt herself turning dizzy from excitement.
Meanwhile, right when the third bidder had just called out with a price, a string of prices resounded out in the scene, and it soared successively, causing the atmosphere at the scene to become extremely fervent.
“10,000 white energy crystals.” In next to no time, Old 3rd also known as the 3rd Executive didn’t hesitate in the slightest to call out with a price that caused everyone present at the scene to be shocked!
“And here I thought I could bid for that weapon because I had 2000 white energy crystals.” One hunter on the first floor smiled wryly upon seeing how high the price has raised.
“I guess the first the M134 Minigun belong to the 3rd Executive.” Another one added with a hint of jealousy in his voice.
“10,000! 10,000! Is there anyone else with a higher bid?” Manager Han was crazily ecstatic. This would definitely be the most exciting scene of this auction.
“12,000!” However, right when everyone thought that it would be sold to the 3rd Executive, a hoarse and gloomy voice sounded out unhurriedly, and it was like a chill wind that blew past, and it caused everyone that heard this voice to have a chilly feeling.
“Lord Black Tiger.”
Hearing this voice, everyone within the auction knew who it belong to. This was Lord Black Tiger, the ruler and also the founder of the Black Tiger Base.
The entire scene was in perfect silence.
Soon, twenty seconds have passed, and no one dared outbid Lord Black Tiger, including the Nine Executives.
None of them was crazy enough to offend Lord Black Tiger, a peak Level 5 Awakener.
“12,000! 12,000 going once! 12,000 going twice! Any other bidders?” Said Manager Han with an even more exciting tone. This price was far higher than his expectations so he immediately shouted.
Also, unlike the others, he didn't give a rat ass about Lord Black Tiger as he was taunting and trying to milk more out of the Nine Executives.
“Lord Black Tiger wins with an offer of 12,000 white energy crystals.”Declared Manager Han with a slight smile on his face after no one else interjected.
Manager Han was over the moon at the moment. An item starting at 5000 ended up selling for 12,000? This was exceedingly rare in the entire history of their auction house.
In fact, this was the most expensive item his branch auction house has ever sold since its creation.
As soon as he declared Lord Black Tiger as the winner, he didn’t waste any time as he introduced the next item which was another M134 Minigun.
He had four M134 Miniguns in his possession. After auctioning the first one, there were still three more left.
After more than half an hour going through a fierce and all-out bidding war filled with threats, Manager Han finally sold the remaining three M134 Miniguns and concluded the auction.
The 3rd Executive bought the 2nd M134 Minigun while the 2nd and 5th Executive bought the last two.
The second M134 Minigun was sold for 13,000, the third one for 14, 500 and the last one for a whopping 15,800 white energy crystals.
