Qu Jianlei had a reason for asking about Silly Qu.
Hua Xiezhi was an old hand in Jianghu too, and she guessed what he was thinking. She stated it bluntly.
"Most of them entered the mountains to look for you. Some are waiting at the foot of the mountain, and only a few are looking into clues about Silly Qu."
Qu Jianlei felt slightly relieved. That meant... perhaps the mech had not been discovered yet? Hua Xiezhi had been watching him closely. Although Black Sky's eyelids habitually drooped, she still sensed his relief.
So she asked cautiously, "You... still plan to leave the mountains?"
Qu Jianlei lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. "That's not a very appropriate question for you to ask right now."
"I mainly want to help you," Hua Xiezhi said, not wanting him to misunderstand.
"For example, they've gathered at least a dozen Night Vision Binoculars. It'll be hard for you to move out at night."
There were not many Night Vision Binoculars in the Wasteland. Qu Jianlei had only gotten one through a lucky coincidence.
An ordinary adventurer team only needed one or two of them.
Unless it was a large-scale brawl between adventurers, these things were only used for nighttime vigilance—few people hunted in the middle of the night.
More than a dozen Night Vision Binoculars... clearly, the convoy pursuing him had also looted quite a few from the Hong Yi Settlement.
Qu Jianlei could not help muttering, "Who the hell did I offend?"
Then he looked at Hua Xiezhi again and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Although he was used to being cautious, without her warning, he still might have landed himself in trouble.
"I only hope I can help you," Hua Xiezhi replied seriously. "I can help you find a route through."
