Qu Jianlei naturally has interest in asking for news about Silly Qu.

Hua Xiezhi is also an old Jianghu, so she guessed what he was thinking, she said simply.

"Most people have gone into the mountain to look for you. There are still some people waiting at the foot of the mountain. Only a few people are looking for clues about Silly Qu."

Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief, that is to say... maybe the mecha hasn't been discovered yet? Hua Xiezhi has been observing him carefully. Although Black Sky's eyelids habitually drooped, she still felt his relaxation.

So she asked carefully, "Are you... still planning to go out on a mountain trip?"

Qu Jianlei raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "The question you are asking now is a bit inappropriate."

"I mainly want to help you," Hua Xiezhi didn't want to be misunderstood by him at all.

"For example, they have collected at least a dozen Night Vision Binoculars. It would be difficult for you to go out at night."

Wasteland's Night Vision Binoculars and Buduo, Qu Jianlei also got one by chance.

In an average adventurer team, one or two is enough.

As long as there isn't a large-scale fight between adventurers, this thing is only responsible for night vigilance - few people hunt in the middle of the night.

More than a dozen Night Vision Binocularss... Obviously, the tracking fleet also looted a lot from Hong Yi Settlements.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "Who am I provoking?"

Then he looked at Hua Xiezhi again and said sincerely, "Thank you very much."

Although he is accustomed to being cautious, he may still get into trouble without the other party's warning.

"I just hope I can help you," Hua Xiezhi replied seriously, "I can help you find a passage."

Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, just looked at her indifferently - do you think I will believe your empty words?

Hua Xiezhi also felt that the other party could not be so careless, so he subconsciously defended, "I am helping myself by helping you."

However, this is still not convincing. From her standpoint, harming the other party can also help herself.

So she added, "Your supplies should not be enough to support the crossing of the Endless Mountain Range. You need to go back and prepare some more."

Qu Jianlei's eyes still showed no emotion - Sorry, I'm really not short of supplies.

Hua Xiezhi thought again, "I can also prepare some supplies. We can support each other when crossing the mountains."

Qu Jianlei finally spoke, "Can you leave your companions and come with me?"

This is impossible! Hua Xiezhi understands this very well. The two companions are her fighting partners who have cooperated with her for many years.

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei belatedly, "So, you are worried that we will turn our backs on customers?"

"Where are the hosts and guests?" Qu Jianlei replied calmly. What the other party said was indeed what he was afraid of.

But this matter is easy to solve. "If you really want to cross the mountains, you can choose your own way. There is no need to go with me."

Hua Xiezhi looked at him in astonishment, without such a good hand as you, how dare we think about crossing the mountains? "Okay, anyway, thank you for informing me," Qu Jianlei took out two Li Block and Energy Block and put them on the ground.

Then he slowly took two steps back, "You go, I will protect myself."

Hua Xiezhi stared at him blankly for five seconds before Buduo, stepped forward to pick up Energy Block, turned around and left.

After walking Buduo for one kilometer, she turned around and took a look. Where could she still see the figure from before? Qu Jianlei's mood is really depressing, but the more times like this, the more important it is to stay calm.

A dozen Night Vision Binoculars were guarding the entrance to the mountain, and he would not bet on which entrance might not have a telescope.

So his choice is... to just sit there for now.

But he would not believe Hua Xiezhi without reservation, so after nightfall, he continued deep into the mountains.

Endless Mountain Range is definitely not peaceful at night, not to mention that he has already gone deep into Dangerous Zone and has to go further.

However, there is no way. No matter how ferocious the beast is, it cannot be cruel to people's hearts. Qu Jianlei has no choice.

Fortunately, since he started practicing, he has become sharper and wiser, and he also carries Night Vision Binoculars with him.

After all, every time he comes, he has to stay in the mountains for several days. Even if he is not hunting at night, self-defense is still necessary.

Some animals are cold-blooded and cannot be seen by Night Vision Binoculars. At this time, his eyesight and ears will be tested.

In addition to his hearing and eyesight, he also has good sword skills. Only with this reliance can he dare to go deeper.

There were some thrills as we went deeper. The first half of the night was relatively smooth, but in the second half of the night we encountered a group of snakes and had to fight hard to escape.

At dawn, he unexpectedly encountered two Mutated Mountain Giant Lizards.

After another hard fight, he beheaded a giant lizard.

Another monitor lizard saw that the situation was bad and wanted to escape, but he shot it with Laser Rifle seven or eight times in a row.

We really can't let this guy go, otherwise if someone else discovers the injured monitor lizard, he will face siege from all sides.

The sad thing is that not only is the flesh of this thing inedible, but none of its parts are valuable.

The same was true for the eight snakes killed in the middle of the night.

Qu Jianlei Not only do they have to eliminate these guys, they also have to find a place to dump their bodies to avoid being discovered.

On normal days, he would avoid these guys, but when he was on the road in the middle of the night, he was really hard to guard against.

After two battles, he really felt pain... It was purely a loss-making business.

That night, he advanced almost Buduo seventy kilometers. In a straight line, it was probably less than thirty kilometers.

After dawn, he found a place to rest, just in time to meditate and practice.

After it got dark, he stewed a pot of meat under the cover of the fire. Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, at least it had to be cooked.

This night the journey was a little smoother, but on the third night we encountered a little confusion.

But at this time, he had penetrated more than 70 kilometers in a straight line and encountered countless dangers.

He believed that it would be almost impossible for a small team of three or four adventurers to get here.

The people who were tracking and searching for him should be elites, but even Elite Team couldn't get here quietly.

If he encounters a wild beast or Mutated Beast, a battle will inevitably occur, so he will definitely be alarmed.

It rained again in the mountains that day, and Qu Jianlei chose to stop and rest.

The next day, he did not leave again, but dug out a temporary shelter.

He stayed here for more than twenty days, during which time he actually hunted two more Golden-striped Bear.

As long as he had meat and firewood, he could concentrate on his cultivation and put aside all distracting thoughts.

It wasn't until the weather started to get colder that he started to return cautiously.

In the past, he went to the mountains for a maximum of thirteen or fourteen days, but this time it lasted for one and a half months.

No matter how patient the other party is, they can't continue a large-scale search for so long, right?

The road back was not smooth either, especially since he was not walking on the same old road, and there were some deviations.

When he arrived at Safe Zone, it was eight days later, and he had more than one hundred kilograms of Mutated Beast meat on his shoulders.

There is no way, there is no condition to make meat floss in the mountains, so I can only sprinkle some salt on it and marinate it.

When Safe Zone arrived, he wrapped the meat in felt cloth and chose a place to bury it.

By this time, Buduo was close to two months away from entering the mountain.

However, when Qu Jianlei was at Baitian, he still found suspicious people looking around.

They shouldn't give up so easily... Qu Jianlei is not very surprised by this.

However, as long as there aren't that many people searching, that's good news for him.

There are no more than Buduo openings in the nearby mountains. Regardless of whether it is easy or difficult to walk, the total number of openings will not exceed five.

But Qu Jianlei didn't choose those places, he directly chose a place that was impossible to get in and out.

It was a continuous steep slope, more than three kilometers away from the nearest mountain pass.

Baitian He observed and found that there was indeed no one around.

When I looked at it again at night, there was still no one—that's right! During the extensive search of the mountain, there must be people guarding this place, but with fewer manpower, places with low probability may be abandoned.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he relied on his strong skills to sneak down the mountain quietly.

In the process, he unexpectedly discovered that alarm bells and traps were set up in some places.

Fortunately, he was careful enough and didn't move very fast, so he managed to get out of the way without any danger.

However, it can also be seen from this that the other party really wants to win from him.

By the time he left the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.

Qu Jianlei didn't show off. He dug a hole in a depression and lay down directly in it. He was covered with a protective colored felt cloth.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, he uncovered the felt and sat up.

The next step is to drive at night. In Wasteland, those who dare to drive at night are Buduo, unless they are a large team.

But if a large group is traveling at night, they will definitely turn on their headlights and be able to see them from a distance.

Qu Jianlei hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the abandoned warehouse just after midnight.

He used Night Vision Goggles to observe and found that there was no one around. He carefully touched it in - what if there was an alarm bell? It turns out that he thought a little too much and there was really nothing in it.

When he turned over the piles of broken bricks and tiles, he also noticed his buried sign - no one had touched it.

After climbing over the rubble, he finally saw the mecha he had been dreaming about, without any changes.

This thing sounds a bit incredible. Such a large mecha, which is not well hidden, actually escaped a large-scale search.

But it was indeed the case, and Qu Jianlei didn't know how to explain this scene. In his opinion, this should be because the other party was focusing on "Black Sky".

The whereabouts of Black Sky can be traced. Not many people care about what happens outside the mountain. Even if there is news about Silly Qu, they will only ask about it at Settlement.

Maybe someone came to the abandoned warehouse to search, but since I have Night Vision Binoculars in hand, a casual glance is enough.

At this time, Qu Jianlei was particularly grateful to the group of people who traded with him.

If the mecha trade wasn't too sensitive, this news might have been revealed, right?

In fact, even now, he is not sure whether the other party has confessed or not.

Anyway, the mecha was not discovered, which was a good thing.
