Chapter 57: Mutations
Xiao Jing was a little unsure when he heard the crack say this, so he could only look at Qu Jianlei, "Brother, what do you think?" ”
"A hundred is a hundred," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, "To spy on the news, you must be willing to spend money." ”
He was already thinking about whether to abandon the crack and cross the mountain range with Xiaojing.
The crack was also felt, and the other party seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself.
But he was already a living dead, and although the wasteland was big, there was nothing he cared about.
So he took a hundred silver dollars and turned away.
Xiaojing couldn't help but ask Qu Jianlei, "Do you have an opinion about him?" ”
Qu Jianlei thought about it, then shook his head, "Not really, it's just ...... Maybe the personality is not compatible. ”
Then he put these thoughts aside, "You concentrate on the house, I'll go buy some materials." ”
There are still places to improve the mecha, and after being abandoned for so long, many parts still need to be maintained......
Eighty-seven silver dollars, I guess it's not enough, but let's do it for now.
By the time he returned, it was already evening, and there were only three silver dollars left.
He handed the three silver dollars to Xiao Jing, "Save some flowers, and I'll go back to the mountain again." ”
At this moment, the crack also returned, "In another month, there may be a smuggling team into the mountain." ”
Qu Jianlei thought about it and asked, "How to calculate the cost?" ”
"One hundred to two hundred silver dollars per person, the price is not fixed, and life and death are at your own ......"
"After entering the mountain, if you perform well in battle, you can refund some of the expenses as appropriate, and you may even make money."
Everyone in the wasteland can become a hunter, so the escort fee for smuggling is not fixed.
Qu Jianlei didn't think about this, "That is, as long as you are willing to pay a certain price, you can still cross the mountains?" ”
For him now, one or two hundred silver dollars is really not a lot of money.
The point is that this news means that even if he crosses the mountains, he may still not be able to escape the tracking of others.
"It's not something that ordinary people can afford," Crack replied.
"And it's too dangerous, nine deaths...... Why risk it if you can afford it? ”
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "Can the influence of Hongzi reach over there?" ”
"There's a Zeuzi settlement over there," Rift replied affirmatively, "with a different prefix and extremely limited influence." ”
Qu Jianlei looked at him blankly, and it took a long time before he asked, "You already knew, right?" ”
There was no expression on Crack's face, and he paused before replying, "Xiaojing is still a child, it's too dangerous." ”
Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, this is why he doesn't like the other party.
Although the crack is in a state of dead ashes, it is really too assertive.
Qu someone wants to find a wild survival expert who understands the wasteland, but this master said that half hide and half hide, which is very Cao Dan.
If there are any bad intentions in the cracks, then there is none.
Previously, he didn't say anything about the news on the other side of the mountain, but he didn't want Xiaojing to follow Qu Jianlei to take risks.
Now Qu Jianlei is almost ready, once there is an accident, he will definitely have to go over the mountain, and he will not be able to stop it, so he will reveal the truth.
However, Qu Jianlei just can't stand this kind of concealment, and he is also used to planning holistically.
He shook his head, didn't make any response to the news, and went straight back to the house.
After dinner, he meditated late into the night and left on foot with a large amount of supplies.
After he left, Xiao Jing and Crack still had a conversation, "Why didn't you tell the truth in the first place? ”
The crack 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. ”
Crack was silent for a long time before replying, "He's too self-righteous, and sooner or later he's going to suffer a big loss." ”
"He won't!" Xiao Jing screamed as if someone had stepped on his tail.
After a pause, he sighed, "When you cross the mountain, why don't you ...... You'd better leave. ”
The crack was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It's no problem for me to support myself, and I will be a neighbor with you when the time comes......"
Qu Jianlei came back again, and it was early morning three days later.
This time, the processing and maintenance were quite successful, and his mood was much better.
After eating, he picked up a large bag and prepared to go into the mountains again to hunt, and at the same time told Xiaojing.
"Take care of the family, I'll go to the mountains again, and I'll be completely ready when I come back."
Xiao Jing was also used to his behavior, and just asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to leave?" ”
"It depends," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "If I can not leave, I don't want to run around." ”
Xiao Jing's eyes lit up slightly, "Ready...... That is, you don't have to go into the mountains often? ”
"It's not as often as it is now," Qu replied casually.
If you don't go into the mountains, will you sit and eat empty mountains? "Let's hope we get a little better this time."
"It's going to be fine," Xiao Jing clenched his little 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 courtyard, he felt a little uneasy in his heart: this can't be a flag, right?
It was the crack that carried him to the foot of the mountain, and then back.
Qu Jianlei walked all the way to the mountains, and some people would say hello to him when they met him.
He had no interest in these responses, so he bowed his head slightly, and then walked briskly: I hope for a good harvest!
But luck really can't stand up to the chatter.
He wandered around the mountains for four days before he came across two C-class mutant spotted wolverines.
Although the wolverine is only C-class, it is extremely fierce, not to mention its fur, and extremely aggressive.
It's a bit of the style of "Pingtou Brother" on the Blue Star.
Qu Jianlei didn'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 other party's territory, and was chased by a good pass, and it was impossible to escape from the territory.
It took him half a day to kill the two wolverines.
Then he realized that the co-author was that the female wolverine was pregnant, and the two wolverines would be so crazy.
The value of the wolverine's fur can't even make up for his consumption.
But the good thing is that the unborn cubs in the wolverian belly can be eaten.
It's better than nothing!
Qu Jianlei withdrew to the edge of the safe zone and began to cook this "hard dish".
Unbeknownst to him, while he was concocting a hard dish, a convoy came to Hong Yi with his acquaintances in it......
Three days later, he hunted another litter of tin rabbits, two large and five small.
This harvest makes people a little depressed.
He didn't continue cooking, but pickled the rabbit a bit, intending to stay for another three days and go back.
It's really disappointing that you don't have much to gain, but it's hard to get stuck because of the little harvest.
The next day, as he was looking around, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He walked up a small dirt slope and looked around with his binoculars.
Sweeping to a certain angle, he froze, and a familiar figure appeared in the telescope - a flower scorpion!
It is actually quite difficult to identify people in the wilderness of the wasteland, everyone is dressed in dust, and many people still cover their faces.
But Qu Jianlei has a good memory and is very good at recognizing people.
Not to mention the dress of the flower scorpion, which is basically the same as the last battle, the color and style are similar.
It is worth mentioning that although she was carrying a laser rifle in her hand, she covered her left chest with her right hand and made a gesture.
On the Blue Star, this gesture means "OK", but in the Wasteland, it means "I have no hostility"!
Most wastelanders, like the Bluestar, have their right hand in their right hand and their heart on the left.
The dominant hand is placed on the heart, and the circle of the thumb and index finger indicates the position of the heart, which is indeed a friendly gesture.
Qu Jianlei's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he had a premonition: trouble is coming.
Looking carefully left and right, he didn't see any other figures.
But he still didn't get close to the other party, but chose a bush and hid his body.
However, the flower scorpion looked around and walked in his direction - this small hill, the view should be good.
However, just when she was fifty or sixty meters away from Qu Jianlei, Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Don't move!" ”
The flower scorpion was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he didn't react, but spoke in a deep voice.
"Is it dark? I don't have any ill will. ”
"Otherwise, you're dead," Qu Jianlei slowly got up from the ground with a Gauss automatic gun.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed firmly at the flower scorpion, and he asked aloud, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Come to you!" The flower scorpion replied while looking left and right, "There is no one else around, right?" ”
"If you don't bring someone," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"I was coerced into coming to you," the flower scorpion still looked around, but the muzzle of the laser gun never lifted.
"Wocao," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but spit out the swear words, and then asked again, "Who coerced you?" ”
"The big man in the settlement," the flower scorpion turned his back again, to see if there was anyone on his way.
"They're looking for someone very important, and by the way, they're looking for you."
The two identities of Heitian and Silly Song, haven't they overlapped yet?
Qu Jianlei asked quietly, "Very important person...... Who is that? ”
"You don't need to know," the flower scorpion turned around and said lightly, "There is some news that is too good for you. ”
"Well, you're right," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Well, you probably haven't asked how important that person is." ”
The flower scorpion bowed slightly when he heard this, "I haven't lived long enough." ”
Qu Jianlei sighed slightly, "So...... What are they looking for me for? ”
"Can't you think of it?" The flower scorpion looked at him curiously.
"If the news is correct, you exchanged a lot of mutant beast crystals in the settlement?"
Qu Jianlei paused for a moment before snorting coldly, "These greedy scavenging vultures ......"
The flower scorpion looked at him with interest, "Some people even think that you may be that important person." ”
", I've never mattered," Qu Jianlei snorted lightly, "How is my companion now?" ”
