The sound of the black market opening is a combination of long and short beats, similar to the sound of a gong.

This voice made the others stop temporarily, and they all squinted their eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.

Some people have already consciously walked towards the auction venue. Gu Tongwan still has the card in his pocket. Anyone who has paid the entrance fee to the auction venue will have a card, but the card is not name-bearing and only has a number. After entering the venue, staff will guide them to the corresponding seats and distribute bidding cards.

In her previous life, Gu Tongwan had never been to places like auction houses. She felt that such places were inappropriate for people like her, especially a black market auction house. Therefore, she found it quite novel.

There were a dozen tall and strong men with guns outside the auction hall. It was said that these people were mercenaries hired by the auction hall at a large sum of money to maintain order. They were quite famous in the circle. They were all veterans or from security companies. This time, a total of more than 30 mercenaries were dispatched, of which more than 20 were scattered around the venue to maintain order.

When paying the admission fee, Gu Tongwan discovered a very interesting phenomenon. The price of the admission fee here will be adjusted according to the seat.

For example, the seat she is sitting in now is in the back row near the corner, so she only needs to spend an extra fifty points. But if she is sitting in the first three rows, she can observe the auction items more closely, and the entrance fee will be as high as two hundred points.

Basically, the front row seats belong to powerful people or those with special identities and backgrounds.

The venue was very large, at least half the size of a football field, and could accommodate about three hundred people. At this time, people had already entered the venue one after another under the guidance of the staff.

It is said that the auction house is not under the jurisdiction of the base, but is jointly managed by the Wanderer Organization and the Hunter Guild.

Probably because neither side wants the base to have a share of the pie.

Gu Tongwan was holding the number 152 and was sitting in the far right corner of the eleventh row.

The lighting in the auction hall was very dim. Unlike the chandelier lights installed in the market outside, there were several large lamps hanging in the venue, and there was a wall lamp about every ten meters.

It was extremely dark down there, and even people's faces could not be seen clearly, but the lights on the meter-high stage in front were bright, and the auctioneer who was preparing for the auction seemed to be familiarizing himself with the draft process with his head down.

The auctioneer was a man in his thirties, wearing a tie and a white suit, and even smeared hair oil. He stood straight and must have been specially invited. The fact that he could hold an important position in the apocalypse with his own abilities at least showed that he had the real talent.

In less than ten minutes, the entire venue was full. The auctioneer was talking to another short man who was probably the person in charge of the venue on the stage. During the conversation, the auctioneer occasionally raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression on his face.

Gu Tongwan found that a group of people who were dressed very elegantly were led by several staff members to sit in the first row. Not only that, there was a small coffee table in front of the first row, on which were placed tea, melon seeds and other items.

This should be similar to VIP membership, and there are even venue staff on both sides to meet various requests made by such dignitaries.

Accompanied by a piercing sound similar to that caused by a problem with the audio system in the auction hall, the wooden door in front was slowly closed by two staff members. Two armed mercenaries immediately stood at the door to prevent anyone from snatching the auction items and escaping temporarily.

For safety reasons, everyone entering the venue must undergo manual security checks, and no controlled knives or firearms are allowed on them. These items will be detained in a safekeeping area and a number tag corresponding to the person's entry number will be hung on them. They will be returned to the person after the auction is over.

"Clap!"

The headlights above suddenly went out, and the entire venue was plunged into endless darkness. Gu Tongwan could even hear the screams from the women around him.

At the same time, the two large lights on the auction table were turned on, making the entire table as bright as day, and the smiling voice of the host resounded throughout the venue through the microphone.

"Welcome all guests to the 19th auction tonight!"
