Xiao Jing was a little unsure after hearing what Cracked said, so he could only look at Qu Jianlei, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Just a hundred," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, "You must be willing to spend money to spy on the news."

He was already thinking about whether to abandon Cracked and cross the mountains with Xiao Jing.

Cracked also felt that the other party seemed a little dissatisfied with him.

But he is already Living Dead. Although Wasteland is big, there is nothing worth caring about.

So he took a hundred yuan Silver Coin silver note, turned around and left.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask Qu Jianlei, "Do you have any objections to him?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Not really, it's just... maybe he has a different personality."

Then he put aside these thoughts and said, "You concentrate on looking after the house, and I will buy some materials."

The mecha still needs to be improved, and since it has been abandoned for so long, many parts still need to be maintained...

Eighty-seven yuan Silver Coin is probably not enough, but let's make do with it for now.

When he came back, it was already evening, and Silver Coin only had three yuan left.

He handed three pieces of Silver Coin to Xiao Jing, "Save some money, I'll go into the mountain again later."

At this moment, Cracked also came back, "In another month, there may be a smuggling team entering the mountain."

Qu Jianlei thought about it and asked, "How to calculate the cost?"

"One hundred to two hundred yuan per person Silver Coin, the price is not fixed, you are responsible for life and death..."

"After entering the mountain, if you perform well in the battle, you can refund some of the fees as appropriate, and you may even make money."

Everyone in Wasteland may become Hunter, so the escort fee for smuggling is not fixed.

Qu Jianlei is not thinking about this, "In other words, as long as you are willing to pay a certain price, you can still climb over the mountains?"

To him now, one or two hundred Silver Coin is really not that much money.

The key is that this news means that even if he crosses the mountains, he may still not be able to avoid being tracked by others.

"This price is not something ordinary people can afford," Cracked replied seriously.

"And the danger is too great. There is a narrow escape from death... Why should people who can afford it take the risk?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment before asking, "Hong-character Settlement Area's influence, can it reach there?"

"That's Zhou-Character Settlement over there," Cracked replied firmly, "The prefix is different, and the influence is extremely limited."

Qu Jianlei looked at him blankly, and waited for a long time before asking, "You already knew that, right?"

Cracked had no expression on his face. He paused for a moment before replying, "Xiao Jing is still a child, it's too dangerous."

Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly. This was the reason why he didn't like the other party.

Cracked Although he is in despair, he is really very assertive.

Qu is looking for a wild survival expert who understands Wasteland, but this expert said that half of it is hidden and the other half is very Cao Dan.

If Cracked has any bad intentions, that's none.

He didn't tell the news on the other side of the mountain before because he didn't want Xiao Jing to take risks with Qu Jianlei.

Now Qu Jianlei was less prepared than Buduo. Once something unexpected happened, he would definitely have to climb over the mountain, and he couldn't stop him before he revealed the truth.

However, Qu Jianlei just couldn't stand this kind of concealment, and he was used to planning everything.

He shook his head and went back to the house without any response to the news.

After dinner, he meditated until late at night and left on foot with a large amount of supplies.

After he left, there was another conversation between Xiao Jing and Cracked, "Why didn't you tell the truth in the first place?"

Cracked was silent for a long time before replying, "For your own good."

Xiao Jing sighed helplessly, "Black Sky...Brother Fugui doesn't like your attitude very much."

Cracked remained silent for a long time before replying, "He is too self-righteous and will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

"He won't!" Xiao Jing screamed as if someone had stepped on his tail.

After a pause, he sighed, "After you get over the mountain, otherwise... you'd better leave."

Cracked remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "I can support myself, and I will be your neighbor..."

Qu Jianlei came back again in the early morning three days later.

The processing and maintenance this time were quite successful, and his mood improved a lot.

After eating, he picked up his large and small bags and prepared to go hunting in the mountains again. At the same time, he gave Xiao Jing a message.

"Look after your home. I'll go to the mountains again and everything will be ready when I come back."

Xiao Jing was also used to his behavior, so he just asked in a low voice, "Are you sure Yao Li is open?"

"It depends on the situation," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "If I can avoid leaving, I don't want to run around."

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up slightly, "Ready... that means you don't have to go into the mountains often?"

"It's just not as frequent as now," Qu Jianlei replied casually.

If you don't go into the mountains, will you be sitting on nothing? "I hope I have better luck this time."

"It will definitely be fine," Xiao Jing clenched his fist, "When the time comes, you can teach me Tai Chi!"

Qu Jianlei smiled, turned around and walked out of the door.

After leaving the yard, he felt a little uneasy: Could this be a FLAG? It was Cracked that carried him to the foot of the mountain and then returned.

Qu Jianlei Walking all the way into the mountains, some people would say hello to him when they met him.

He was not interested in these responses, so he nodded slightly and walked forward quickly: I hope there will be a good harvest!

However, luck is something that really cannot stand to be talked about.

He wandered around the mountains for four days and only encountered two C-level Mutated Spotted Wolverine.

Wolverine Although it is only C-level, it is extremely ferocious, its fur is very hard, and it is also extremely aggressive.

It's a bit like the "Pingtou Brother" on Blue Star.

Qu Jianlei doesn't want to do anything to this guy at all - the meat can't be eaten, so the skin can be sold for some money.

However, he stepped into the opponent's territory and was chased by a group of enemies, even if he could not escape from the territory.

He struggled for a long time before killing the two Wolverine.

Then he realized that the female Wolverine was pregnant, which was why the two Wolverine were so crazy.

Wolverine The value of the fur cannot even make up for his consumption.

But the good thing is that the unborn cubs in the belly of the mother Wolverine can be eaten.

It's finally better than nothing! Qu Jianlei exited to the edge of Safe Zone and started cooking this "hard dish".

He didn't know that while he was cooking hard food, a convoy came to Hong One, including his acquaintances...

Three days later, he hunted another brood of Ironhide Rabbit, two large and five small.

This little gain is a bit depressing.

He did not continue cooking, but marinated the rabbit, planning to stay for another three days before going back.

The harvest of Buduo is indeed disappointing, but it is unacceptable to insist on not leaving because of a small harvest.

The next day, while he was exploring around, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He walked up a small slope, picked up his telescope and looked around carefully.

Scanning to a certain angle, he froze, and a familiar figure appeared in the telescope - Hua Xiezhi!

It is actually quite difficult to identify people in the wild at Wasteland. Everyone is wearing gray clothes, and many of them have their faces covered.

But Qu Jianlei has a good memory and is very good at recognizing people.

Not to mention, Hua Xiezhi's outfit is basically the same as the one he wore in the last battle. The color and style are different from Buduo's.

It is worth mentioning that although she was holding Laser Rifle in her hand, her right hand was covering her left breast and making a gesture.

On Blue Star, this gesture means "OK", but on Wasteland, this gesture means "I am not hostile"! Most Wasteland people, like Blue Star people, are right-handed and their heart is on the left side.

The dominant hand is placed on the heart, and the circle between the thumb and index finger indicates the position of the heart, which is indeed a friendly gesture.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but frown slightly. He had a premonition: trouble was coming.

Looking around carefully, he saw no other figures.

But he still didn't get close to the other party. Instead, he chose a bush and hid his body.

On the contrary, Hua Xiezhi was looking around and walking in his direction - this hillside should have a good view.

However, just when she was fifty or sixty meters away from Qu Jianlei, Qu Jianlei said, "Don't move!"

Hua Xiezhi was startled for a moment, but as expected, he didn't make any reaction, but spoke in a deep voice.

"Is it Black Sky? I don't mean any harm."

"Otherwise you would have died," Qu Jianlei slowly got up from the ground holding Gauss Automatic Rifle.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed steadily at Hua Xiezhi, and he asked aloud, "Why are you here?"

"Coming to find you!" Hua Xiezhi replied, looking around, "Is there anyone else around?"

"If you didn't bring anyone," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then asked, "What are you looking for from me?"

"I was coerced to come to you," Hua Xiezhi was still looking around, but Laser Gun's gun was never raised.

"Wocao," Qu Jianlei couldn't help spitting out dirty words, and then asked, "Who coerced you?"

"Main Settlement's big shot," Hua Xiezhi turned his back again to see if there was anyone on his way.

"They are looking for someone very important, and they are also looking for you."

Don't the two identities of Black Sky and Silly Qu overlap with each other?

Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "A very important person... who is that person?"

"You don't need to know," Hua Xiezhi turned around and spoke calmly, "It's not good for you to know too much about some information."

"Okay, you're right," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Well, you probably haven't asked how important that person is."

Hua Xiezhi nodded slightly when he heard this, "I haven't lived enough yet."

Qu Jianlei sighed slightly, "Then... why are they looking for me?"

"Can't you think of it?" Hua Xiezhi looked at him curiously.

"If the news is correct, you exchanged a lot of Mutated Beast Crystal at Settlement?"

Qu Jianlei paused for a moment before snorting coldly, "These greedy scavenging vultures..."

Hua Xiezhi looked at him with interest, "Some people even think that you may be that important person."

"Nonsense, I have never been important," Qu Jianlei snorted, "How is my companion now?"
