Chapter 87 Encounter (third update) Cindy's driving skills are really not bad. When she heard Spencer's shout, she actually turned the car over while driving at high speed.
You must know that you are driving in a wilderness full of ice and snow. If you are not careful, your car will crash and people will be killed.
Qu Jianlei stood in the carriage and was thrown away again.
Fortunately, he noticed the abnormality of Xue Er immediately and firmly controlled the balance of his body.
The turning radius of a light truck is not very large, no more than a hundred meters, which is quite rare on snow.
Then he asked loudly, "What's going on?"
"It's interesting!" Spencer replied loudly, "I guess he's being targeted!"
"Fuck!" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but curse, "Why is this kind of bullshit happening everywhere?"
Then he jumped up with a short body, turned around in the air, and firmly grabbed Gauss Machine Gun behind the truck body.
The modified light truck also has two Vehicle-Mounted Machine Gun, but the latter machine gun has been somewhat damaged.
The machine gun mount is twisted and twisted by the Bloodline Snake, and the rotation is not very flexible, but it is definitely better than nothing.
Then he squinted and looked behind the car, trying to see what was going on.
However, the wind was freezing and the wheels picked up large flakes of snow, making it difficult to see what was going on behind.
But within a few seconds, the shout of High-Volume Loudspeaker came from behind.
"Stop that car! We just want to buy Mutated Beast meat. We are surrounded by our people. I advise you not to make a mistake!"
"What the hell," Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice, but he didn't even think about scolding the other party.
He doesn't mind a collision with the other party, but the damage to the vehicle is currently relatively serious, and the number of people on his side is relatively small.
In wild encounters under bad weather, the numerical advantage will be greatly amplified.
In fact, he was more worried about what traps the other party had, because he was good at this himself and knew the consequences of mental arithmetic Wu Xin.
As for questioning the other party's origin, that really makes no sense.
If the opponent is very strong, you are 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 shots rang out, and the other party actually fired at them.
"Slow down!" Qu Jianlei shouted.
Visibility was not high in the wind and snow, but he could still see the general direction along the gun flames, and he had to slow down if he wanted to fight back.
Cindy slowed down without hesitation, and Hua Xiezhi climbed from the cab into the truck bed before the car stopped.
Qu Jianlei turned to look at her, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Give me Vehicle-Mounted Machine Gun," Hua Xiezhi said without hesitation, "You use Personal Machine Gun."
Personal Machine Gun is slightly less powerful, but requires a stronger body. She feels that Black Sky's physique is more suitable.
Qu Jianlei didn't argue with her, moved away from her, and said, "Be careful."
In this kind of weather, coupled with the snow particles picked up by the wheels, it is not easy for the opponent to hit them, but it is still dangerous.
Hua Xiezhi wore gloves, raised the handle of the gun, and shouted loudly, "We must fight back hard... be careful of an ambush!"
It's not that she's not afraid of death, but she can't hesitate at this time. If she just runs away without fighting back, it will embolden the opponent's arrogance.
The next moment, two machine guns spit out tongues of fire crazily, and Cindy did not stop, but just slowed down.
As long as you slow down, snow particles will rise up, and the accuracy of the two machine guns will be greatly improved.
After a while of crazy output, the two gradually found the feeling, and the more they played, the more accurate they became.
The two machine guns on the opposite side are a little worse. One is really bad at shooting, and the other is... reluctant to give up ammunition.
The reason why they took the initiative to attack was because they saw the other party trying to run away, with the main purpose of intimidation.
The ambusher really didn't expect much damage, so he didn't want to spend too much ammunition.
As a result, their firepower was gradually suppressed.
"Damn it," a Machine Gunner couldn't help complaining while hiding behind the ice wall, "Don't they have to pay for their ammunition?"
"Yes, if you drop some Mutated Beast, you can buy a road." The robber naturally has the logic of a robber, "How much money does this cost?"
Qu Jianlei and the two fired ammunition worth almost three hundred silver dollars, and the truck drove another kilometer before stopping.
This amount of ammunition was almost half of what they used against the Frost Wolf group.
Hearing the sound of machine gunfire stop, Spencer, who had been looking back, breathed a sigh of relief, "What a luxury."
"Hmph," Cindy snorted disapprovingly, "Shouldn't we beat these people hard?"
"It's a fight of spirits, a fight of spirits," Spencer shook his head sadly, "It's all about money."
Cindy glanced at him with great disdain, "With this situation, no wonder you are so downtrodden... Boss, do you want to turn around?"
She raised her voice in the second half of the sentence, actually wanting to turn around and retaliate.
"No need," Qu Jianlei saw that the other party no longer fought back and walked to the front of the truck, "What if they have set a trap?"
Cindy thought about it and asked, "Then I speeded up?"
"Don't go too fast," Qu Jianlei hung Personal Machine Gun on the lock of the truck body and operated the machine gun in front.
And Hua Xiezhi was still holding the machine gun behind the car and watching the surroundings vigilantly.
They are ready to fight back at any time, and of course they don't want to drive too fast.
Spencer is still nagging, "Throw some garbage to those vultures, and the matter will be solved."
Cindy couldn't help but yell at him again, "Why?"
Qu Jianlei heard the words and spoke out, "Spencer, find out who is ambushing us... I will give you fifty yuan Silver Coin."
Spencer's face dropped, and he became energetic again after hearing the second half of the sentence.
However, in the end, he sighed depressedly, "Fifty yuan Silver Coin... it's hard to check."
"It's time for you to show your worth," Qu Jianlei said coldly.
When Cracked first inquired about the information, he was very happy to give money, but he really couldn't do this to Old Swindler.
Cindy glanced at Spencer, "Don't you have anyone who monopolizes the Mutated Beast meat market?"
"Really not," Spencer shook his head, "Not even Universe Six people can do it... all the outsiders are hunters."
Universe Six people think very highly of themselves, but that comes from their inner sense of superiority. They rarely fight against barbarians.
Cindy replied simply, "I don't believe it."
Spencer curled his lips dejectedly, "There are some teams that make small-scale acquisitions, but there really are no large-scale monopolies."
Cindy answered simply, "Then just look in this direction, don't let us think you are useless."
Spencer muttered dissatisfiedly, "Xue Er discovered their ambush, it can be considered a meritorious service..."
I don't know whether the other party was frightened by the powerful firepower, or whether there was really no other ambush, and nothing happened later.
Four people and one dog walked in a circle on the ice field and replied Zhou-Six Settlement.
Mutated Beast is not in a hurry for the time being. Qu Jianlei first issued the repair materials and prepared to repair the car.
The weather is really not suitable for repairing cars in the yard, but I have no choice but to make do with it.
Once it is driven out for repairs, the various scars and bullet holes on the car will tell everyone what happened.
He was attacked from the rear of the car, but he wasn't afraid of anyone knowing. There were too many battles here.
In fact, it didn't matter to him even if he was recognized by the group of people blocking the road.
But if a car goes to fight Rank B Mutated Beast and it can come back after being injured like this, the rewards can be imagined.
Qu Jianlei has always been unwilling to be noticed by others.
Then a new problem appeared, Silver Coin Buduo, and there were also banknotes worth less than two thousand, but the banknotes... really became less and less as they were used.
I have to rent some more books soon, and I also need to replenish my ammunition. If I don't think of a solution, I will really be stretched thin.
Hua Xiezhi is quite aware of the team's financial situation and couldn't help but ask Qu Jianlei, "Do you regret firing so much ammunition?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "At least it's fun. Let's use the banknote next."
"It's indeed a pleasure," Hua Xiezhi Diandian nodded. What adventurer doesn't want to be happy? "But with banknotes?"
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The pattern will be bigger."
Cindy When the three of them went out to purchase materials, Geng Shou Gong came again.
He was a little stunned when he saw the bodies of Iron-Eating Rat and White-Bellied Bloodline Snake in the yard, "You... you beat them?"
"It's a fluke," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "Did you bring the book?"
Geng Shou Gong did bring another two hundred books, but he became more and more curious, "Is it faster this time?"
"Knowledge is always picked up faster and faster," Qu Jianlei smiled.
This hunting was very tiring, but his reading speed improved a lot.
Geng Shou Gong can accept this explanation. In fact, there are many repeated knowledge points in most books.
He was a little surprised when he saw the other party take out a banknote to pay the rent, "Do you need a banknote now?"
Then he glanced at Mutated Beast's body again, Diandian nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you don't care about the maintenance technician's work."
"Hey, don't mention it," Qu Jianlei said, still a little depressed, "I often encounter some unhappy things."
Geng Shou Gong was not surprised by his words at all. He smiled and asked, "Then why do you take such a risk?"
"This is life," Qu Jianlei replied calmly.
Well, Geng Shou Gong didn't bother to argue with him, "Will these Mutated Beast be sold?"
Just as he finished speaking, mother and daughter Cindy and Spencer came back from purchasing materials.
Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "You can talk to them, I'm not interested in such trivial matters."
Geng Shou Gong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: You are doing big things, but I am only qualified to talk about small things?
He is responsible for the maintenance engineer assessment of the entire Zhou Six Settlement Area, and is one of the most important figures in Settlement.
However, although he has great power, he is not rich in money, so he publishes books to subsidize funds.
Of course, this is also the amazing potential shown by Qu Jianlei, otherwise he would not break this example.
In any case, such a large number of Mutated Beast is not suitable for people under the skin to negotiate prices, and it is worthy of his calculation.
It seems that there are many hunters in Universe Six, but a considerable part of the prey will not stay in Universe Six.
Chapter 88: Alert (fourth update)
When Geng Shou Gong was bargaining with Cindy, there were some twists and turns.
Cindy thinks that the price offered by the other party is good. After all, he is from the city and has a considerable status.
But when it came to the transaction, there were differences. Geng Shou Gong actually wanted to pay with a banknote issued by Universe Six.
Cindy simply refused. Not only were the banknotes issued by Residential Area not very versatile, they would be discounted when converting.
She said that if you insist on using this kind of banknote to settle the bill, you can only calculate the price at a 50% discount.
Geng Shou Gong couldn't bear it after hearing this. He said that he would give you a discount of up to 10%, and there would never be any further reduction.
Each Settlement of Zhou-character Settlement Area will issue its own banknotes, and the actual purchasing power will be discounted, but the discount rate is different.
For banknotes issued by Zhou Three where Cindy is located, Silver Coin is calculated at a 30% discount around Settlement.
Universe Six also has these problems, but Geng Shou Gong is also proud to be a Universe Six person, which means that our banknotes are valuable.
10% off is already my last level of tolerance, and you actually want to give me 50% off... Who are you looking down on?
But Cindy is also very persistent, so just pay Silver Coin. We don't accept cashier's checks.
"Not accepting cashiers... is disrespectful to Universe Six," Old Swindler added leisurely beside him. He is also from Universe Six.
Hua Xiezhi couldn't stand it, "Mr. Geng, you can take out the Energy Block banknote you just received."
Geng Shou Gong couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this, do you think I'm stupid?
The real value of the Universe Six banknote is not a matter of debate for the time being. The key is that it can only be circulated locally.
In other Residential Area, Universe Six banknotes may not be unusable, but their value will definitely be greatly reduced.
The Energy Block banknote is universal in the entire Zhou-Designated Residential Area, and there is no discount at all. This is the real hard currency.
In Zhou Six Settlement Area, it works better than the local Silver Coin. How can Geng Shou Gong be spent again?
So he can only say that it is 10% off and it will not be lower. If you don't agree with it, then I will have to find someone to come and argue.
But Hua Xiezhi is not new to the world: if you are like this, then we will not sell these Mutated Beast to you.
Geng Shou Gong was really furious when he heard this, "Do you still want to rent this book?"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei finally became impatient with their noise - and actually asked me if I wanted to rent a book? "Isn't this over yet? Let's do this from now on. Those who want to do business with us can only do so with Energy Block banknotes."
"This is Universe Six!" Geng Shou Gong 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 actually don't recognize the currency here?"
"How rare. I have always used Energy Block banknotes for transactions before," Qu Jianlei replied casually.
"If you use other currencies to buy my things, who can control whether I sell them or not?"
Geng Shou Gong finally fell silent. Strictly speaking, even Silver Coin is privately coined currency by each company.
The Energy Block banknote directly anchors Energy Block, no wonder it is so strong.
After a long time, he sighed, "Then use Silver Coin?"
Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, but Hua Xiezhi snorted, "Wouldn't it be over if I said this earlier?"
Rank B Mutated Beast's body was sold for 1,300 Silver Coin. It cost more than 600 Silver Coin before and after repairing the car, and replenished 400 Silver Coin ammunition.
This time's income is not much better than last time, and the profit is only enough to read Qu Jianlei.
But there's nothing I can do about it. Hunting is like this, it depends on luck, and your team is not strong enough.
Because he had to repair his car, Qu Jianlei stayed at home for twenty days before starting his third hunt.
In this hunt, he directly targeted Mutated Beast Snow Shadow Leopard of Rank A.
Snow Shadow Leopard is very good at concealing his whereabouts, his movements are extremely fast and his combat effectiveness is extremely strong, both alone and with others.
The companionship depends on the situation. Anyway, usually, there will be no more than four Snow Shadow Leopards traveling together.
The most important thing is that this guy's meat is edible - even if the taste is very average, and the fur is very expensive, and the bones are even more expensive.
Hearing that Snow Shadow Leopard was going to be hunted, Spencer couldn't bear it anymore, "I give up, or you can kill me now."
"You can give up, Xue Er has to follow," Hua Xiezhi said without hesitation, "It works."
Snow Mastiff's combat power and clan level are much lower than Snow Shadow Leopard's.
But the good thing is that Snow Mastiff has a very high IQ and is not too suppressed by nature's rank, so he can find Snow Shadow Leopard relatively easily.
So when large teams go out, they usually bring multiple Snow Mastiffs.
Spencer couldn't refuse. He and Xue Er did have a deep relationship, but he had not rented out Xue Er before, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to return the loan.
Now Hua Xiezhi wanted to borrow it, and he had no reason not to agree - he was still in the other party's home despite not caring about food, drink, and housing.
As for the possibility of an accident with Xue Er, there is really no need to worry about this.
Every life of Wasteland is both strong and fragile. As long as he does not die from a conspiracy, there is nothing to regret.
Then Qu Jianlei looked at Cindy, "The danger is great, how about... you stay?"
Although she is a woman, she really deserves to call herself Old Driver. Her driving skills are so good that Hua Xiezhi is probably even worse.
But Cindy shook his head, "Let's go together, but if we hunt Snow Shadow Leopard, I will get half of it."
She is most worried about her daughter. If both Spencer and Xue Er stay, she will not dare to leave.
But if only Spencer is here, she believes that Claire will not suffer.
In this case, she wanted to give Rank A Mutated Beast a try, and even asked for a share.
In fact, Panda boss has never treated her badly when it comes to spending money, but she still wants to save some money.
This was a gamble with her life, and she didn't think her conditions were excessive.
"Then let's go," Qu Jianlei raised his chin, "There will definitely be a share. If you can hunt with your own hands, it will definitely be more than half."
The off-road truck drove away. Claire turned around and looked at Spencer. He pulled out the Laser Pistol from his waist and pointed at it.
"Go into your room... I'll count to three!"
"Do you want to do this? I'm already old," Spencer said with helplessness on his face, "Be careful of the fire."
"Huh?" Claire rolled his eyes and turned on the safety, "Killing people by accident... it doesn't seem to count as killing?"
"Okay, I know you are less than fifteen years old," Spencer sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the room...
Qu Jianlei The three of them drove in the wilderness for three days and three nights when they came across a convoy of three cars.
Cindy has good eyes, "Boss, it's the one who repaired Mechanical Arm. He seems to have recognized us."
"Ignore him," Qu Jianlei replied disapprovingly, "I fixed it and he paid, so what else is there to do with each other?"
Mainly because that woman was really annoying. He didn't want to care about her, but he couldn't let go completely.
The vehicle continued to move forward, but it never occurred to me that three cars on the opposite side turned around and chased after me, honking their horns non-stop.
Cindy slowed down, and Qu Jianlei directly operated the machine gun behind the truck body.
Hua Xiezhi picked up Personal Machine Gun and fired a burst into the sky.
The meaning is already clear: enough is enough, otherwise there will be consequences.
Then High-Volume Loudspeaker rang, "Is that Panda Master ahead? Please stay, where are you going?"
Qu Jianlei also operated High-Volume Loudspeaker in the car - this thing is much more common in Wasteland's car than Handheld Transceiver.
"We are destined to meet each other in the wilderness. The wind and snow are dangerous, so we should cherish each other!"
The three chasing cars slowed down, and the sturdy man couldn't help but complain, "Guo Er girl, you did a good job!"
When the woman next to him heard this, she couldn't help but say coldly, "Many adventurers are stupid. Is it wrong to be careful?"
"Alas," the stout man sighed.
The reason why he has been able to tolerate Guo Er is because although she acts recklessly, she always considers the group.
The man picked up High-Volume Loudspeaker and said, "The Mechanical Arm that the master repaired is really easy to use. We are here to hunt Mutated Beast..."
"Heart Moon Bear and Snow Shadow Leopard, Master, do your teams want to go? If you are interested, you can form a team!"
Qu Jianlei also replied, "We are just passing by, don't think too much."
People we once knew just passed by each other.
Snow Shadow Leopard was indeed difficult to find. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qu Jianlei and the others could not find Snow Shadow Leopard.
There is no need to squat, the main energy is spent on running back and forth, which consumes a lot of fuel.
There wasn't much fighting, but because there were too many roads to run around, if you encountered suitable prey on the way, you would kill it.
That night, they chose a sheltered place and dug an underground cave to rest.
After resting until midnight, Xue Er got up on one of its front legs, shook his head, and made a low "Woo" sound from his mouth.
Qu Jianlei, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and asked with his eyes, "Is it Snow Shadow Leopard?"
Xue Er nodded, this guy is really not that smart.
It's actually not easy to find a suitable place to dig a hole in the wild. It's rare to have a comfortable rest, but something happened.
Qu Jianlei lightly kicked Hua Xiezhi and got up quietly.
At this time, Hua Xiezhi, who woke up, reached out and pushed Cindy awake.
Cindy slept soundly. After waking up, he got used to it, and the two of them had climbed out of the hole.
Xue Er just looked in a certain direction and stopped making any sound. Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi took out Night Vision Goggles to watch.
About two kilometers away, there were three white shadows walking slowly.
Although I can't see clearly, I can still tell that these are three adult Snow Shadow Leopard.
"Three..." Qu Jianlei spoke in a low voice, "I'll give you the sniper rifle. Can you kill one?"
Hua Xiezhi hesitated and said, "The night vision effect is really bad. Baitian is more confident."
Snow Shadow Leopard is not only good at stealth, but also extremely 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 a sniper rifle must aim at vulnerable places such as the eyes to kill with one hit.
Hua Xiezhi is quite confident in his marksmanship, but hitting an eye from two kilometers away is not that difficult.
As long as one shot fails to hit the vital point, it is basically impossible to use a sniper rifle for the second shot.
