Chapter 21: Running Pretty Fast

The wilderness of the wasteland has always been dangerous, mutant beasts are terrifying, and even more terrifying are people!

Qu Jianlei can roughly judge the opponent's position according to the impact point of the bullet and the sand stirred up.

It should be hidden on an inconspicuous dirt slope in front of it.

The reason why it is inconspicuous is that there are two slightly taller dirt slopes next to it.

However, high does not mean absolutely good, Qu Jianlei understands this truth, and the right one is the best.

In a hurry, he couldn't judge why the other party chose to ambush him here.

But he can be sure of one thing: there are not many people on the other side, only one or two people.

If there were a lot of people, they would definitely kill him closer, rather than shoot him from a distance.

It is precisely because of this that he thinks that the person who shoots is the one who beats the stick, not the degenerate.

The Fallen also use firearms, but they don't have supplies, and they don't waste their bullets so much on capture.

Moreover, the degenerate are good at huddling in groups to keep warm, and when they go out, they usually come in groups of three or five, and it is rare to walk alone.

However, even if he judged that the number of opponents was small, Qu Jianlei had no intention of fighting back.

The enemy situation is unclear and the terrain is unclear, and it is irresponsible to rush back again.

On this wasteland, the people who beat the sticks...... It's really too many to count.

Anyone who is very inconspicuous, once in the wilderness and has a gun in his hand, can easily have thoughts that he should not have.

Even a businessman like Fat Sister, or even a coward like Morrison, may improvise a cameo as a robber.

Qu is a lone traveler himself, and he has long and short guys on his body, so it is normal to be regarded as a prey.

That is what the fat sister said, having a gun may die faster - the sneak attacker will kill the killer at the first time.

It is said that with Qu Jianlei's temperament, he should hate beating the stick: I didn't provoke you, so I want to kill me?

However, he knew better in his heart that as long as the order of the wasteland did not change, this would continue forever.

Every survivor may turn into a bandit under certain conditions.

This phenomenon is repeated and prohibited, and it is not for him to change it alone, and he has no responsibility to change it.

Instead of sulking, it is better to retreat quietly.

As for who the other party is, he is not interested in knowing, there are too many possible suspects, and thinking too much is purely asking for trouble.

But if you want to run, you have to talk about the rules, it is certain that the other party chose to ambush here, and he must be very familiar with the surrounding environment.

Qu Jianlei has also walked here a few times in the past, and his memory is not very deep, but after thinking about it carefully, he still turned out his memories.

Then it dawned on him...... No wonder they were ambushed on that little dirt slope!

Small dirt slopes are not the best ambush spots, but the difference is not very big compared to high places.

The point is that the place is very conducive to evacuation, and if the attacker wants to fight back, he must consider being ambushed for the second time.

On the other hand, Qu Jianlei's position is not very convenient to attack, and it is not convenient to escape.

Of course, convenience and inconvenience are both relative and not absolute.

But it's already good that the other party can find such a position in the wasteland to ambush.

Qu Jianlei instantly thought of three escape directions, but after thinking about it, he decided not to choose these three.

The reason is simple, what if the other side lays a trap or a mine?

For these guys, never overestimate their bottom line.

For a oscillating knife to blow up a person, it is worth it for them, even if the price difference is just a nutrient.

As long as the output is greater than the input, he can do it, not to mention that he still has a gun on him.

If there is enough time and space, Qu Jianlei is not worried about the trap, but it is too late now!

He rolled forward a few more times, then raised his hand and threw out a low-quality smoke bomb.

When the smoke picked up, he began to rush to the side and forward.

There was really no intention of fighting back, it was just safer to evacuate from here, he really knew the humanity of the wasteland too well.

"Tsk, meet a vigilant," the ambusher sighed.

This is a middle-aged short and stout man, with a simple face and a shabby face.

He was armed with an old Gauss automatic gun with a short knife stuck in his leggings, a small waist pack, and a grenade.

From an outsider's point of view, this is a rather embarrassed survivor.

Although there are weapons such as knives and guns, they definitely do not give people a feeling of "toughness".

If you don't have that worn-out Gauss gun, you're basically a survivor at the bottom, a bit of a self-defense weapon.

Ordinary people would not have imagined that he had already hunted five survivors, and today it is the sixth.

Just as Qu Jianlei thought, he is not a murderer, but ...... In this way, it is easy to get foreign money.

When he was nervous, he came to hunt a lone traveler.

Seeing the other party throw a smoke bomb, he knew that he might have to go home empty-handed today.

Immediately afterwards, the other party actually fired another grenade, which hit him not far away, and it turned out to be a smoke bomb.

Want to attack? He sneered in his heart, just a lone traveler...... Do you know how many people there are on my side?

So, it's just a bluff before retreating.

But be careful to hold on to the 10,000-year-old ship, he is here to make extra money, not to fight people to the death.

If he wants to withdraw, there must be a rule, so he rolls twice and changes positions.

Then he raised his Gauss gun, and two more bursts - I'm still here.

Immediately after, he rolled a few more times, and quickly left as soon as the cat's waist was born.

He is also a cautious person, don't look at killing people without blinking, and he is serious about his life.

The other party may be "advancing and retreating", but he doesn't dare to bet, it must be like that.

I just want to make some extra money, and if I want to put my life on the line, it's boring.

So he didn't retreat normally this time, but after three or four hundred meters of panning around his waist, he quickly ran away in a zigzag.

There are many small dirt slopes around him, which cover his figure well.

He is very good at escaping, even if there are a lot of bits and pieces on his body, and his clothes are shabby, but he is well tied and fitted.

After running for almost three thousand meters, he turned into a depression under a dirt slope.

This small pit is not big, curled up just enough to avoid observation, and a piece of earth-colored rag is perfect.

He gasped and walked around, and before he could think about it, he saw a black hole in front of him......

Qu Jianlei was also very helpless, he swore that he had run over indiscriminately and was about to rest here.

For the person who beat the stick, he was angry, and he really didn't think about investigating, let alone retaliating.

But less than a minute after he sat down, he heard light footsteps in the distance.

The other party's foot work is really okay, but the violent wheezing can't cover it.

Qu Jianlei held a laser pistol and aimed it at the head that suddenly appeared, and both of them were stunned.

The honest man recognized the other at a glance, but the distance between the two sides was too close, and the other party was holding a pistol.

He wanted to turn around and run again, but it was too late.

Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment and then sighed, "You run quite fast." ”

The honest man honestly raised his hands, and then he decided to lie.

"This is my resting place, this friend, we have no grievances...... If you want to rest, I can lend it to you temporarily. ”

Qu Jianlei didn't care what the other party said, where is there such a coincidence in the world?

Especially since the other party does have a Gauss gun on him, and he can't catch his breath - even if it's not you, it's you.

He pursed his lips helplessly, "To be honest, I really didn't want to fight back against you...... There are too many people beating the stick. ”

The honest man was stunned, but he still shook his head and replied honestly, "I really don't know what you're talking about." ”

Qu Jianlei pouted disappreciatively, and he didn't expect to force the other party to admit it - does it make sense?

He just whispered, "I'm sorry, it's your bad luck...... Running fast enough! ”

If the other party arrives here first, passively ...... He was the one who died.

Seeing that he was always talking to himself, the honest man also realized that if the conversation continued like this, he would be finished.

He decisively admitted, "I just want to rob a little money, it's really not easy to survive in the wasteland, and I didn't think about killing people." ”

After a pause, he added, "It's like you didn't plan to get revenge on me...... I was going to run away. ”

Qu Jianlei looked at him silently, and after a while he spit out two words, "That's it?" ”

"I can buy my life," the honest man finally got to the point, "there are some good things, and I hid in the camp." ”

Qu Jianlei didn't believe this, except for the gang, few of the wasteland survivors kept Haodong XZ in their place of residence.

If you want to say that it is hidden in the wild, then it is still somewhat possible.

Seriously, if he follows the other party, he may meet the other party's accomplices, and it is not easy to kill people casually in the camp.

So after he disarmed the other party, he asked the other party to tie himself up.

Then he raised his hand and slashed directly at the other party's thigh, muttering, "It's okay to get hurt, right?" ”

Even if the guy who beat the sticks didn't want to kill him, the Gauss gun hit him, and it was inevitable that he would be injured.

If he doesn't get hurt, how can the other party grab something?

Then he spoke with a blank face, "Tell me where your East XZ is, or I'll let you bleed to death!" ”

When he went down, the honest man's face had changed - you still have to kill someone.

He often beats stuffy sticks, and he really doesn't necessarily kill people when he robs, after all, his purpose is only to rob.

Of course, it is inevitable to injure someone, and killing someone may lead to retaliation.

You should have tried to resist just now! He regretted it a little, even if it was likely to die on the spot.

However, after all, there was no regret medicine, and he laughed miserably, "How can you promise not to kill me?" ”

"Then you can only gamble," Qu Jianlei still had no expression on his face.

The honest man drooped his eyelids and didn't speak, obviously lying down and beating Ren.

Qu Jianlei was not polite to him, and tossed the bits and pieces on his body first.

This one is really poor, except for two tubes of nutrients and some bullets, he doesn't even carry water.

However, in the box around the other party's waist, he accidentally found a brown stone the size of a little thumb belly.

"What is this?" Qu Jianlei carefully touched it with a short dagger.

The honest man's face turned white in an instant.
