Chapter 81 Chapter 87 Encounter-88 Awakening (two chapters in one)

Chapter 87 Encounter (three chapters)

Cindy's driving skills are really good. When she heard Spencer's shout, she turned the car while driving at high speed.

You have to know that you are driving in a wilderness full of ice and snow. If you are not careful, the car will be destroyed and people will die.

Qu Jianlei was standing in the truck bed and was thrown again.

Fortunately, he noticed Xue'er's abnormality at the first time and firmly controlled his body balance.

The turning radius of the light truck is not large, not more than 100 meters, which is quite rare on the snow.

Then he asked loudly, "What's going on?"

"It smells like a human!" Spencer answered loudly, "I guess someone is watching me!"

"Fuck!" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but swear, "Why is there such a shitty thing everywhere?"

Then he ducked and jumped suddenly, then turned in the air and firmly grabbed the Gauss machine gun behind the truck bed.

The modified light truck also had two vehicle-mounted machine guns, but the rear one had been damaged.

The machine gun bracket was twisted by the blood snake, and it was not very flexible, but it was definitely better than nothing.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked behind the car, trying to see what was going on.

However, the cold wind was biting, and the wheels rolled up large pieces of snow, so he couldn't see what was happening behind.

But within a few seconds, the sound of a loud speaker came from behind.

"Stop that car! We just want to buy mutant beast meat. We are all around. I advise you not to make mistakes!"

"What a bullshit," Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice, but he didn't even want to curse at the other party.

He didn't mind a fight with the other party, but the current vehicle damage was relatively serious, and his own number was relatively small.

In a field encounter in bad weather, the advantage of numbers will be greatly magnified.

In fact, he was more worried about the other party's trap, because he was good at this and knew the consequences of intentional and unintentional.

As for questioning the other party's origin, it was really meaningless.

If the other party is very strong, it's just asking for trouble!

The key is, who can be sure that the name reported by the other party is true?

However, the next moment, a series of machine gun sounds rang out, and the other party actually shot at them.

"Slow down!" Qu Jianlei shouted.

The visibility was not high in the wind and snow, but he still saw the general direction along the gun flames. If he wanted to fight back, he had to slow down.

Cindy slowed down without hesitation, and Hua Xiezi climbed from the cab to the truck bed without waiting for the car to stop.

Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at her, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Give me the vehicle-mounted machine gun," Hua Xiezi said without hesitation, "You use the individual machine gun."

The individual machine gun is less powerful, but requires a stronger body. She thinks Heitian's physique is more suitable.

Qu Jianlei didn't argue with her, and made way, saying, "Be careful."

In this kind of weather, coupled with the snow particles rolled up by the wheels, it is not easy for the other party to hit them, but it is still dangerous.

Scorpion wore gloves, raised the gun handle, and shouted, "We must fight back fiercely... Be careful of ambushes!"

It's not that she is not afraid of death, but she can't hesitate at this time. If she just runs away without fighting back, it will encourage the opponent's arrogance.

The next moment, the two machine guns spit out flames crazily, and Cindy did not stop, just slowed down.

As long as you slow down, there will be more or less snow particles flying, and the accuracy of the two machine guns will be greatly improved.

After a period of crazy output, the two gradually found the feeling, and the more they hit, the more accurate they are.

The two machine guns on the opposite side are a little worse, one is that the shooting is indeed a little worse, and the other is... reluctant to spend ammunition.

The reason why they took the initiative to attack was that they saw the other side was about to run before they took action, with the main purpose of intimidation.

The ambushers really didn't expect to cause much damage, so they didn't want to spend too much ammunition.

So their firepower was gradually suppressed.

"Fuck," a machine gunner hiding behind the ice wall couldn't help but complain, "Doesn't their ammunition cost money?"

"Yeah, leaving some mutant beasts behind can buy a way out," the robbers naturally have their own logic, "Is it because of the extra money?"

Qu Jianlei and the other man fired ammunition worth about 300 silver dollars, and the truck drove another kilometer before stopping.

This amount of ammunition is almost half of what they used when dealing with the frost wolf pack.

Spencer, who had been looking back, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the machine guns stop, "It's really... extravagant."

"Humph," Cindy snorted disapprovingly, "Shouldn't we beat these people hard?"

"It's a dispute of will, a dispute of will," Spencer shook his head sadly, "That's all money."

Cindy looked at him with great contempt, "With this kind of pattern, no wonder he is so miserable... Boss, do you want to turn around?"

She raised her voice in the second half of the sentence, and she actually wanted to turn back for revenge.

"No need," Qu Jianlei saw that the other party stopped fighting back and walked to the front of the truck bed, "What if they set a trap?"

Cindy thought about it and asked, "Then should I speed up?"

"Don't go too fast," Qu Jianlei hung the individual machine gun on the lock of the truck bed and took up the machine gun in front.

Hua Xiezi was still holding the machine gun behind the car, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

They were ready to fight back at any time, and of course they didn't want the car to go too fast.

Spencer was still nagging, "Throw some garbage to those vultures, and the matter will be revealed."

Cindy couldn't help but say to him again, "Why?"

Qu Jianlei said, "Spencer, find out who ambushed us... I will give you fifty silver dollars."

Spencer's face fell, but he became energetic again after hearing the second half of the sentence.

However, in the end, he still sighed depressedly, "Fifty silver dollars... It's not easy to find out."

"It's time for you to show your value," Qu Jianlei said coldly.

When the crack was trying to find out the news, he was very happy to give money, but he really couldn't do that to this old liar.

Cindy glanced at Spencer, "Don't you have someone who monopolizes the mutant beast meat market here?"

"Really not," Spencer shook his head, "Even the people of Zhouliu can't do it... Outsiders are all hunters."

The people of Zhouliu have a high self-esteem, but that is a sense of superiority from the heart, and they rarely confront the barbarians.

Cindy answered very straightforwardly, "I don't believe it."

Spencer curled his lips in depression, "Some teams will make small-scale acquisitions, but there is really no large-scale monopoly."

Cindy answered very straightforwardly, "Then you should look in this direction, don't let us think you are useless."

Spencer muttered unsatisfiedly, "Xue'er discovered their ambush, which can be regarded as meritorious service..."

I don't know whether the other party was frightened by the powerful firepower, or there was really no other ambush, and nothing happened afterwards.

The four people and the dog circled on the ice field and returned to the Zhouliu settlement.

There is no rush to deal with the mutant beast for the time being. Qu Jianlei first opened the repair materials and prepared to repair the car.

This weather is really not suitable for repairing the car in the yard, but there is no way, so you can only make do with it.

Once you go out to repair, the various scars and bullet holes on the car will tell everyone what happened.

Being attacked from the rear of the car, he is not afraid of people knowing, there are too many battles here.

In fact, even if he is recognized by the gang that blocked the road, he doesn't care.

But a car went to fight a B-level mutant beast, and it was injured like this and could come back, so you can imagine the gain.

Qu Jianlei has always been unwilling to be noticed by others.

Then a new problem arose. There were not many silver dollars left, and there were still two thousand silver notes, but the silver notes... were really getting less and less.

I had to rent some more books soon, and the ammunition also needed to be replenished. If I didn't think of a way, I would really be stretched.

Hua Xiezi knew the financial situation of the team more clearly, and couldn't help asking Qu Jianlei, "Do you regret using so much ammunition?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "At least it was fun, let's use the silver notes next."

"It was really fun," Hua Xiezi nodded. Which adventurer didn't want to take revenge? "But use silver notes?"

"The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "a bigger picture."

When Cindy and the other two went out to purchase materials, Geng Shougong came again.

He was a little surprised when he saw the corpses of the iron-eating rat and the white-bellied blood snake in the yard, "You... did you guys kill them?"

"I guess it was a fluke," Qu Jianlei answered lightly, "Did you bring the books?"

Geng Shougong did bring another two hundred books, but he became more curious, "Is it faster this time?"

"Knowledge is something that you always pick up faster and faster," Qu Jianlei smiled.

This hunting trip was very tiring, but his reading speed actually increased a lot.

Geng Shougong could accept this explanation. In fact, there are many repeated knowledge points in most books.

He was a little surprised to see the other party take out silver notes to pay the rent, "You use silver notes now?"

Then he took another look at the corpse of the mutant beast and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you don't care about the work of the maintenance engineer."

"Oh, don't mention it," Qu Jianlei said a little depressed, "I often encounter unhappy things."

Geng Shougong was not surprised at his words at all, he smiled and asked back, "Then why do you take this risk?"

"This is life," Qu Jianlei answered calmly.

Well, Geng Shougong was too lazy to argue with him, "Are you going to sell these mutant beasts?"

Just as he finished speaking, Cindy and her daughter and Spencer came back from purchasing materials.

Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "You talk to them, I'm not interested in such trivial matters."

Geng Shougong couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this: So you are doing big things, and I am only qualified to talk about trivial matters?

He is responsible for the assessment of maintenance technicians in the entire Zhouliu settlement area, and he is a big shot in the settlement.

But although he has great power, he is not rich in money, so he will issue books to subsidize the funds.

Of course, this is also the amazing potential shown by Qu Jianlei, otherwise he would not make this exception.

Anyway, no matter what, such a large number of mutant beasts is not suitable for people under the skin to negotiate the price, and it is worth him to argue.

Speaking of the fact that there are many hunters in Zhouliu, but a considerable part of the prey will not stay in Zhouliu.

——————

Chapter 88 Awakening (fourth update)

Geng Shougong encountered some minor setbacks when bargaining with Cindy.

Cindy thought that the price offered by the other party was good. After all, he was from the city and had considerable status.

But when it came to the transaction, there was a disagreement. Geng Shougong actually wanted to pay with the silver bills issued by Zhou Liu.

Cindy refused very straightforwardly. Not only was the silver bill issued by the settlement area too incompatible, but it also had to be discounted when converted.

She said that if you insist on using this kind of silver bill to settle, then you can only calculate it at a 50% discount.

Geng Shougong couldn't stand it after hearing that, and said that he would give you a 10% discount at most, and he would never reduce it further.

Each settlement in the Zhouzi District would issue its own silver notes, and the actual purchasing power would be discounted, but the discount rate was different.

For example, the silver notes issued by Zhousan where Cindy was located were calculated at a 30% discount on silver dollars around the settlement.

Zhouliu also had these problems, but Geng Shougong was also proud to be a member of Zhouliu, saying that our silver notes were valuable.

10% discount was already my last tolerance, and you actually wanted to give me a 50% discount... Who are you looking down on?

But Cindy was also very persistent, so you just pay the silver dollars, we don't accept silver notes.

"Not accepting silver notes... is disrespectful to Zhouliu," the old liar added leisurely beside him, he was also a member of Zhouliu.

Hua Xiezi couldn't stand it, "Mr. Geng, you can take out the energy block silver notes you just received."

Geng Shougong couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard it, do you think I'm stupid?

The real value of Zhou Liu silver notes is controversial, the key is that it can only be circulated locally.

In other settlements, Zhou Liu silver notes may not be unusable, but the value will definitely be greatly discounted.

Energy block silver notes are universal in the entire Zhouzi settlement area, without any discount, which is the real hard currency.

In Zhou Liu settlement area, it is more useful than local silver dollars, how can Geng Shougong spend it again?

So he can only say that it is 10% off, and it will not be lower. If you don’t agree, then I can only find someone to come and argue.

But Hua Xiezi is not unsophisticated: If you say so, then we won’t sell these mutant beasts to you.

Geng Shougong was really furious when he heard this, "Are you still renting this book?"

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was finally annoyed by their noise-actually asking me if I rent a book?

"Isn't this over yet? Then let's do this from now on. Those who want to do business with us can only trade with energy block silver notes."

"This is Zhou Liu!" Geng Shougong was so angry that his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.

At this moment, he had long forgotten that the other party was the person he wanted to win over, "You don't recognize the currency here?"

"How rare, I used to trade with energy block silver notes," Qu Jianlei answered casually.

"You use other currencies to buy my things, who can stop me from selling?"

Geng Shougong finally fell silent. Strictly speaking, even silver dollars are privately minted currencies.

And energy block silver notes directly anchor energy blocks, no wonder they are strong.

After a long time, he sighed, "Then use silver dollars?"

Qu Jianlei did not say anything, but Hua Xiezi snorted, "Wouldn't it be over if you said so earlier?"

The corpse of the B-level mutant beast was sold for 1,300 silver dollars, and more than 600 silver dollars were used to repair the car, and 400 silver dollars of ammunition were replenished.

The income this time was not much better than the last time, and the profit was only enough for Qu Jianlei to look after himself.

But there was no way, hunting was originally like this, it depended on luck, and his own team was not strong enough.

Because he had to repair his car, Qu Jianlei stayed at home for 20 days before starting his third hunt.

This time, he directly targeted the A-level mutant snow leopard.

The snow leopard is very good at hiding its whereabouts, and its movements are extremely fast and its combat power is extremely strong. It sometimes travels alone and sometimes travels with a companion.

The companion depends on the situation. In any case, under normal circumstances, there will be no more than four snow leopards traveling together.

The most important thing is that the meat of this guy can be eaten - even if the taste is very ordinary, and the fur is very expensive, and the bones are even more expensive.

When he heard that he was going to hunt the snow leopard, Spencer couldn't bear it anymore, "I give up, or you can kill me now."

"You can give up, but Xue'er has to follow you," said the flower scorpion without hesitation, "It's useful."

The combat power and ethnic level of the snow mastiff are much lower than those of the snow leopard.

But the good thing is that the snow mastiff has a high IQ and is not suppressed by the natural rank, so it can easily find the snow leopard.

So those large teams usually bring multiple snow mastiffs when they go out.

Spencer couldn't refuse. He and Xue'er did have a deep relationship, but he didn't rent Xue'er out before because he was afraid that she would be borrowed but not returned.

Now that Huaxie wanted to borrow her, he had no reason not to agree - not only did she provide food, drink and accommodation, but he was still in her lair.

As for the possibility of Xue'er's accident, there was really no need to worry about it.

Every life in the wasteland is both strong and fragile. As long as they didn't die from a conspiracy, there would be nothing to regret.

Then Qu Jianlei looked at Cindy, "It's very dangerous, or... you stay?"

Although she was a woman, she really deserved to call herself an old driver. Her driving skills were so high that Huaxie was probably a little worse.

But Cindy shook her head, "Let's go together, but if we hunt the Snow Hidden Leopard, I want half of it."

She was most worried about her daughter. If Spencer and Xue'er stayed, she wouldn't dare to leave.

But if only Spencer was there, she believed that Claire would not suffer.

In this case, she also wanted to try the A-level mutant beast, and even asked for a share of the profits.

In fact, when it comes to spending money, the panda boss has never treated her badly, but she still wants to save some money.

This is a life-threatening gamble, and she doesn't think her conditions are too high.

"Then let's go," Qu Jianlei raised his chin, "There will definitely be a share, and if you can hunt it yourself, it will definitely be more than half."

The off-road truck drove away, and Claire turned around and looked at Spencer, pulling out the laser pistol at her waist and pointing it at him.

"Go to your room... I'll count to three!"

"Why do you want to do this? I'm already old," Spencer said helplessly, "Be careful of accidental discharge."

"Huh?" Claire rolled her eyes and turned on the insurance, "Accidental discharge and murder... doesn't seem to count as murder?"

"Okay, I know you're under fifteen," Spencer sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the room...

Qu Jianlei and the other two drove in the wilderness for three days and three nights, and ran into a convoy of three vehicles.

Cindy has good eyesight, "Boss, it's the one who repaired the mechanical arm, it seems he recognized us."

"Don't pay attention to him," Qu Jianlei replied disapprovingly, "I fixed it, and he paid, what else do we need to do?"

The main thing is that woman, she's really annoying, he doesn't want to care about it, but he can't let it go completely.

The vehicle continued to move forward, but he never thought that the three cars on the opposite side turned around and chased after them, and kept honking.

Cindy slowed down, and Qu Jianlei directly took up the machine gun behind the truck bed.

Flower Scorpion picked up the individual machine gun and fired a burst of shots at the sky.

The meaning is already very clear: stop when it is enough, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

Then a tweeter sounded, "Is that Master Panda in front? Please stay, where are you going?"

Qu Jianlei also used the tweeter in the car - in the cars in the wasteland, this thing is much more common than the hand-held radio.

"It is fate that we met in the wasteland. The wind and snow are dangerous, take care of each other!"

The three chasing cars slowed down, and the sturdy man couldn't help but complain, "Sister Guoer, you did a good thing!"

The woman next to him couldn't help but say coldly, "How many adventurers died of stupidity, is it wrong to be careful?"

"Alas," the sturdy man sighed.

The reason why he can always tolerate Guoer is that although she acts rashly, she always considers the group.

The man picked up the tweeter, "Master, the mechanical arm you repaired is really useful. We are here to hunt mutant beasts..."

"Xinyue Bear and Xueyin Leopard, Master, is your team going? If you are interested, you can form a team!"

Qu Jianlei also replied, "We are just passing by, don't think too much."

People who once knew each other just passed by like this.

The Xueyin Leopard is indeed difficult to find. Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Qu Jianlei and his team did not find the Xueyin Leopard.

There is no need to squat, and the main energy is spent on running back and forth, which consumes a lot of fuel.

There are not many battles, but because there are too many miles to run, if they meet suitable prey on the road, they will kill it.

That night, they chose a sheltered place and dug an underground cave to rest.

When they rested until midnight, Xue'er climbed up with one leg, shook her head, and made a low "woo" sound from her mouth.

Qu Jianlei, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and asked with his eyes, "Is it a snow hidden leopard?"

Xue'er nodded her head. This guy is really smart.

It's not easy to find a suitable place to dig a hole in the wild. It's rare to have a comfortable rest, but something went wrong.

Qu Jianlei gently kicked the flower scorpion and climbed up on tiptoe.

At this time, the awakened flower scorpion stretched out his hand and pushed Cindy awake.

Cindy was sleeping soundly. After waking up, she adapted for a while, but the two had already crawled out of the cave.

Xue'er just looked in a certain direction and stopped talking. Qu Jianlei and the flower scorpion took out night vision goggles to watch.

About two kilometers away, there were three white shadows walking slowly.

Although it was not clear, it could still be judged that these were three adult snow hidden leopards.

"Three..." Qu Jianlei lowered his voice and said, "I'll give you the sniper rifle. Can you kill one?"

Hua Xiezi hesitated and said, "The night vision is too poor. I have a better chance in the daytime."

The snow leopard is not only good at stealth, but also very fast. Its fur is not particularly strong, but it is also difficult to kill with one shot.

The three of them rented a laser sniper rifle this time.

But even with a sniper rifle, you must aim at the eyes and other vulnerable places to kill with one shot.

Hua Xiezi is quite confident in his marksmanship, but it is not easy to hit the eyes from two kilometers away.

As long as the first shot misses the vital point, it is basically impossible to use a sniper rifle for the second shot.
