Chapter 91 Found (Third Update)

In fact, Qu Jianlei has been hesitating about how to talk to Cindy about the little leopard producing crystals.

After all, the other party only asked for fifty silver dollars, giving up all other possible benefits.

Qu Jianlei doesn't mind cheating people, but he really can't do this for people who believe in him.

It was this time that he encountered those two strong men, and he finally made up his mind to conceal the matter for the time being.

After returning to the residence, the fur, claws, bones and other things of the five snow hidden leopards were sold, and the income barely exceeded 800 silver dollars.

The main reason was that the meat of the five snow hidden leopards was left, otherwise it would not be a problem to exceed 2,000.

Half of the 800 silver dollars was used to replenish ammunition and fuel, and the remaining half, Qu Jianlei had to spend 200 to rent books.

For the remaining 200, he gave 150 to Cindy, 40 to Hua Xiezi, and 10 silver dollars to Spencer.

A hunt was in vain. You know, these are five snow hidden leopards, which is considered good luck no matter how you look at it.

Qu Jianlei got the most of it, and Hua Xiezi lost the most.

But he had promised her that he would teach her Tai Chi Thirteen Swords.

Hua Xiezi didn't care about it. She had some savings and would not be short of money for a while.

Although Heitian had a lot of gains, he took care of everyone's food and accommodation, fuel, ammunition and energy blocks.

So there is no need to calculate some accounts so clearly. He was sincere enough to teach swordsmanship.

Then Qu Jianlei practiced with peace of mind and didn't plan to go out in the short term.

His left arm injury needed to be recuperated, but this was not the point - he really didn't want to meet those two strong men again.

But in addition to practicing, he couldn't help but feel depressed when thinking about this harvest.

Although some meat problems were solved, it seemed difficult to make a fortune from this.

What made it even more difficult was that Geng Shougong took the initiative to suggest that since you read so fast, you could consider renting more.

In the past, this news would definitely make Qu Jianlei happier, but now... he is a little entangled.

After all, there is still no money.

He had to consider continuing to repair machinery. This is not a job that can make you rich, but at least it can make up for the deficit in the short term.

After Claire learned the news, she happily took on the job again.

The winter in the wasteland is not friendly to children, but if they can eat well and dress warmly, children can really resist the cold.

Claire is very efficient. She found two jobs in two days. In her words, these are still her selected ones.

The difficulty of repair is relatively large, but Qu Jianlei knows that there is no choice now. As long as the other party can accept the quotation, he will do it.

In the end, he negotiated a job, the fee was 170 silver dollars, but it took him four days.

Like the last time, the repair fee was as high as 400, it was really not easy to find. The money earned this time was purely hard work.

Qu Jianlei gave Claire ten silver dollars as commission, and rented another 100 books, leaving only 60 in his hand.

In fact, his ability to make money is definitely among the best outside the city. Others have to survive the winter, but he still has the conditions to practice.

This also shows that if you want to make progress, you must work harder than others.

After Qu Jianlei repaired this part, Claire hurriedly introduced him to another business.

This business is not small, but it is a delicate job and takes too much time.

Qu Jianlei was hesitating, and then Spencer brought good news. He found out who ambushed him last time.

It was a force called "Bao Xiong", which was essentially a loose alliance, and the backbone was a team called "Hong Xue".

Hong Xue has nearly 100 core members, two armored vehicles, and about 500 to 600 people on the periphery.

There are more than 20 teams of all sizes gathered under the Bao Xiong force, and the entire force has nearly 3,000 people.

Spencer got ten silver dollars this time, and he was in a very good mood. He took the initiative to go out to find out the news and hang out in the bar.

Then he got the news that the Black Wind team under Bao Xiong wanted to extort people and rob mutant beasts, but they fought back.

A machine gunner in ambush was shot and lost half of his arm, and his leg had to be amputated.

He was lucky to survive the injury in the wild in winter.

But this is not the point. The point is that the ambushed group fought back fiercely!

"Bao Xiong" has been working on the market of mutant beasts. There are many people in their team, but they cannot monopolize the entire market.

So what they have been pursuing is to try to expand some market share, and don't do too much private robbery.

Hunters usually don't have a good temper, but when they encounter a situation that they don't know the bottom of, there are not many decisive resistance.

Generally speaking, they fight back appropriately, then throw some mutant beast meat, and turn around and leave.

This not only shows that you are not easy to mess with, but also gives the other party face... On Blue Star, this is called Jianghu.

The Black Wind group has more than 20 people, and they have provoked many people, but they have joined Bao Xiong, and few dare to care.

This time they were unlucky, and someone spread the news, probably to vent their anger.

Of course, a shooter being hit is nothing, the lives of people in the wasteland are worthless, and there may be casualties in the counterattack.

Everyone is talking about the fact that it is not strange for the hunters to fight back, but it is strange that the other party has been suppressing fire.

Either the shooting is accurate, or the shooter is injured by the other party during the suppression.

How much is it worth to leave a mutated beast corpse behind? It is said that the ammunition consumed by the suppressive fire was no less than five hundred silver dollars.

Spencer was not sure that Black Wind must be the force that attacked the panda boss.

But it's unnatural for someone who was ambushed to fight back regardless of the cost - at least it's very rare.

It happened that he heard from Claire that when Panda and Yellow Scorpion met their opponents, they suppressed them from start to finish.

So he came back right away to report - Heifeng is probably the one who ambushed you, and the time and place are not much different.

Hua Xiezi felt that this guess was more reliable, but he was not sure, so he came to Black Sky to discuss it.

After Qu Jianlei heard this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "With only twenty people, can we investigate Heifeng's travel route?"

"They are also outside the city, so it's not difficult to find out," Hua Xiezi said simply.

But the next moment, she asked suspiciously, "Ask about the travel route...don't you need to finalize it?"

Inquiring about the travel route meant taking action directly. What if it wasn’t Black Wind who was ambushing him in the first place?

Qu Jianlei looked at her suspiciously, "Do you need evidence for this kind of thing?"

"Of course there is no need for evidence," Hua Xiezi is also an old man, and he has no hesitation in using the free heart certificate.

She was thinking about another point, "If we take revenge on the wrong person... we will be very embarrassed."

"Who said they wanted revenge?" Qu Jianlei looked at her strangely, "I just want to know their schedule."

Hua Scorpion reacted instantly, "You also want to ambush them?"

Qu Jianlei asked strangely, "They have such a bad reputation. Isn't it normal for them to be ambushed?"

His thinking is really...different from ordinary people.

Others were ambushed and wanted to take revenge. What he thought was...this kind of force should be attacked.

It doesn't matter if you hit it wrong, it's what you need to hit anyway. All you want in life is to have a clear idea.

Well, these are just shallow reasons. The deep reason is just one word - poor!

He felt that he should go out for a robbery. Others can kill people and steal treasures, why can't I?

Hunting is too tiring, and repairing machinery is even more tiring. Robbery is easier, but more dangerous.

Qu Jianlei never considered himself a good person, but he would not rob unrelated people - this was his bottom line.

In the wasteland, sticking to the bottom line is actually nonsense, but he feels that he needs to stick to it.

This is the last stubbornness of the traveler from Blue Star.

Hua Scorpion couldn't quite understand his thinking, but finally asked, "Decided?"

"Give it a try," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "The main reason is that the economic conditions are not optimistic."

Hua Scorpion really knows the financial situation of his small team.

Generally speaking, the economy is good, but the boss consumes too much.

So she volunteered, "Count me in, it doesn't matter how much you give me."

"How can you be involved in this matter?" Qu Jianlei refused bluntly, "You are a drag!"

Hua Scorpion looked at him speechlessly: Don't I want to lose face?

Qu Jianlei was stared at by her and couldn't help but say, "I can go into seclusion. It's inappropriate for both of us to disappear at the same time!"

Hua Xiezi understood instantly, but she still sighed resentfully, "After all, she thinks I'm bad."

Qu Jianlei stopped talking and said, "Get ready, follow me later and build a few secret camps."

Hua Scorpion was immediately speechless. Although the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves are indeed necessary, your sense of security is too poor.

She asked aloud, "How many secret camps will be built and how much supplies will be distributed?"

"Half supplies, four or five secret camps," Qu Jianlei answered calmly, "We must learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Hua Scorpion nodded and left, then turned back sharply, "Are you worried about those two people?"

If given enough time, I can be stronger than those two! Qu Jianlei curled his lips in disapproval.

But if he couldn't do it now, there was no need to say it. He answered seriously, "Actually, I also want to have direct contact with them."

"I understand," Hua Scorpion nodded slightly, thinking who wouldn't want to have direct contact with them?

In the next few days, the two drove out with supplies and built five secret camps.

In fact, it just buries some supplies and has just enough space to hide, so comfort is out of the question.

Qu Jianlei believes that when it comes time to use these supplies, there is no need to consider comfort.

After the construction of the five camps was completed, we were going back in a circle. Unexpectedly, we encountered a lone big-horned snow deer on the way.

The two of them got rid of it easily. This deer could pick out at least three to four hundred kilograms of meat.

Hua Scorpion finally muttered, "After all, my trip was not in vain. After spreading so much, I gained something."

Qu Jianlei looked in the direction of the settlement and spoke leisurely, "Have you harvested it... Soon we will not be short."

Chapter 92: Strike first (fourth update)

After Qu Jianlei returned to the yard, he said that he would close the door to study mechanical maintenance techniques, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Cindy, Claire and Spencer didn't care - with Boss Panda's maintenance skills, it was normal to close the door and ponder things.

Their minds were focused on the big-horned snow deer. They hadn't seen such delicious meat for a long time.

Cindy even suggested selling most of the venison and replacing it with more economical food...

And Qu Jianlei quietly left the yard late at night on the day of the retreat, carrying a huge backpack.

Hua Xiezi was the only person who knew about it. Looking at the disappearing figure, she secretly clenched her fists.

"Don't worry, I will never let anyone enter your room!"

However, things are so tight. On the afternoon of the third day, Geng Shougong came to find Qu Jianlei.

This time it was a big business. There was a problem with the heating in the settlement recently. Maybe there was a broken equipment.

In previous years, when they encountered such a situation, they had to stop the heating to check and repair.

This would bring great inconvenience to the residents in the settlement, and the cost was also very high.

This year, there is such a maintenance expert whose ears can rival the ultrasonic flaw detector, so of course he has to be asked to help.

Hua Xiezi said very straightforwardly, sorry, the boss is in retreat to study mechanical problems.

Geng Shougong couldn't stand it, "You can't just watch the heating of the settlement stop, right?"

Hua Xiezi didn't give in at all, "You have so many maintenance technicians, and without my boss, you can't live like before?"

Isn't this to save money? Geng Shougong was also a little speechless, "The inspection fee starts from one thousand silver dollars, tell Panda."

He knew that Panda could make money, but he was even better at spending money and valued money very much.

Hua Xiezi smiled coldly, "Is it Zhou Liu's silver note?"

Geng Shougong was speechless. Last time, it was because of the silver note that he and this woman were very unhappy.

But how could the large equipment used by the settlement itself not use its own silver notes?

If it was twenty or thirty silver dollars, then he would not mind giving silver dollars directly, but for thousands of silver dollars, how could he not give silver notes?

Hua Xiezi understood as soon as he saw his face, "So you don't have much sincerity."

"This is the settlement's business. What else can you give if not local silver notes?" Geng Shougong was annoyed.

"Even if you think there is a discount, it doesn't matter if you pay more. Didn't he take the job a while ago?"

"They paid silver dollars," Flower Scorpion shook his head, "Don't say anything, he is thinking about something, I dare not disturb him."

"This is a big event for the entire settlement," Geng Shougong said seriously, "I have been giving him books to read."

Flower Scorpion looked at him silently for a long time, and then asked leisurely, "You force him like this, don't you worry about any problems in the test?"

Geng Shougong was speechless. The maintenance master is respected, not only for his skills, but also... it is really not difficult to make a move.

Just like no one dares to offend a famous doctor casually, although the maintenance master is not as well treated as a famous doctor, the situation is very similar.

What a bold statement! He sighed, "When will he finish his research?"

"How should I know?" Flower Scorpion answered casually, "Hopefully not until the end of winter."

Hearing this, Geng Shougong could only settle for the next best thing, "He always has time to come out to relax, right? Remember to tell him."

"I know about this," Flower Scorpion nodded and answered vaguely, "The boss may not be able to help."

Then she emphasized one more point, "But if you ask him to help, it's better to use energy blocks and silver notes. This is my kind suggestion."

"How is it possible?" Geng Shougong was very persistent about this point, "This is something inside the Zhou Liu settlement."

"Tsk," Flower Scorpion smiled disdainfully, "Geothermal resources are not only used by Zhou Liu."

Hearing this, Geng Shougong was instantly shocked, "Geothermal...you know geothermal?"

"Is it great news?" Flower Scorpion asked back disapprovingly, but in his heart he was secretly grateful for the knowledge taught by Hei Tian.

"No wonder," Geng Shougong's eyes were a little absent-minded, and he muttered in a low voice, "I knew you were not ordinary people."

The settlement mainly uses geothermal resources, which is something that ordinary residents cannot know.

The flower scorpion looked at him indifferently, "You don't really think that we are wild survivors, do you?"

"That's impossible," Geng Shougong was very sure of this. Just looking at the mechanical maintenance technology of the panda, he knew that there must be a history.

In addition, they even knew the news about geothermal energy, so the other party's background might be beyond his imagination.

As for why they want to live outside the city, he didn't intend to ask-who can't have some secrets?

The flower scorpion nodded slightly, "So, I can help you pass on the message, but the payment method...you should think about it seriously."

When Geng Shougong left, he looked confused.

Claire, however, was full of interest. "Second sister, how long does the boss plan to study? There are still some good jobs recently."

The flower scorpion rolled his eyes at her, "Eat your venison. No matter how many questions you ask, the venison is gone."

Although Claire is rebellious, she is a real foodie - children in the wasteland are actually quite good at eating.

She turned around and ran away, muttering, "I was also thinking, does the boss want to eat something hot."

It is not easy to retreat in the wasteland. Many people cannot understand the concept of retreat, and daily eating, drinking, and defecating are also problems.

When Qu Jianlei pretended to retreat, he had fully considered this point, so he brought a lot of meat floss and water into the room.

Hot? The flower scorpion smiled indifferently and muttered softly, "I don't know how he is now..."

Qu Jianlei's current condition is really not bad. He got a snowmobile.

It's a coincidence that he knows that the current nest of the Black Wind Gang is in a wild camp 300 kilometers away.

He was carrying a huge backpack and originally wanted to go straight to the door and catch the other party off guard.

But 300 kilometers... it's quite a test. It's not something you can reach in one day, especially in this icy and snowy place.

If Qu Jianlei's potential is fully developed, he can basically reach there within one day, but if he really does that, he will be useless when he arrives.

Considering that there are still many uncertainties on the road, he decided to walk for four to five days - it's best not to encounter people.

On the first and second days, his operation was fine. He encountered several groups of people on the way, but he avoided them early.

On the third day, something went wrong because he encountered a nest of blue-eyed snow rabbits.

Snow rabbits are actually very ordinary weak beasts with little meat, so there is basically no need to fight them.

But blue-eyed snow rabbits are mutants. Although they are not yet C-level, they are mutant beasts after all. The key is that they can still be eaten.

Qu Jianlei of course took down this nest of snow rabbits, killing two with a knife and three with a laser pistol.

It's not that he can't outrun the snow rabbits, but... it's too difficult to chase them while running. Many times, the snow rabbits being chased are exhausted to death.

So it's better to use a laser gun to shoot down the snow rabbits, and the energy consumption is not too large.

After killing the snow rabbit, you must eat it, right? He found a safe depression and set up a barbecue grill.

The fire was a dark fire. He brought charcoal with him. It took him an hour to grill. When it was almost done, a snowmobile drove over.

There were two people on the motorcycle. Next to the snowmobile, there was a snow mastiff running after it. It was half a meter longer than Xue'er.

When Qu Jianlei found the snowmobile, he was very surprised - he had already had some trauma about it.

When he found out that it was not those two people, he did not relax his vigilance much.

Since the snowmobile was used, it meant that it was someone nearby. I hope the other party is not blind...

However, how can we expect the other party not to have evil thoughts?

In the wilderness in the winter, a person is there to grill and eat. Given the nature of the wasteland people, it would be abnormal if he didn't have some thoughts.

The driver was shocked, "Where did this tough guy come from?"

The one in the back seat took out the night vision goggles to confirm, "It's really a person, do you want to take him down?"

"People who dare to show off like this are usually tough guys," the driver hesitated, "Are you sure we can take him down?"

The one in the back seat didn't care, "Maybe it's a wanderer, can't we take him down with a snow mastiff?"

The driver began to slow down, but was still a little cautious.

The one in the back was unhappy, "There's only one person, I can't go back to the camp to get reinforcements... I can't afford to lose that person."

In the final analysis, he was determined to take down the other party: this lone traveler is a gift from God!

The driver was finally tempted, so he slowed down again, "Try it out first, it shouldn't be a problem to ask for a stutter."

If it's really hard to mess with, they can also go back to the camp to get reinforcements - it's icy and snowy, the other party has no means of transportation, and can't go far.

The person in the back seat snorted, "Okay, whatever you want... Look at how timid you are."

The driver finally started to brake. The snowmobile was driving on ice and snow, and starting and braking required a process.

However, at the moment when the motorcycle stopped, a white light flashed and directly pierced the snow mastiff's neck.

Qu Jianlei had already thought about it. If the other party didn't stop, it would be fine. If he really dared to stop, he would just shoot.

As for those negotiations between you and me, it was unnecessary - parking in the wilderness on a snowy night was the greatest malice.

Because he was prepared, as soon as the other party's car stopped, he picked up the laser gun and shot directly at the snow mastiff.

He thought the snow mastiff was the most likely to escape, so he shot it first.

Seeing this, the person in the back seat was shocked, "He... How dare he shoot first?"

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and shot, isn't this too domineering?

However, the driver was always alert, so he noticed it, "Oh my god... this is such a fast gun!"

It's not difficult to aim accurately at a distance of less than half a kilometer, but it takes a certain amount of time.

It's really not something that ordinary people can do to shoot so quickly and accurately.

The driver knew that it was too late to restart at this time, so he wanted to get off the car and hide first.

However, Qu Jianlei had already killed him, and another white light flashed, hitting the driver's chest.

In winter, everyone wears a lot of clothes, but the laser gun has too much penetrating power, and the driver was directly shot away.

(The fourth update is here, the fourth day of the 10,000-word update, and I am asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets with a proper attitude.)
