Chapter 87: Encounter (Three Watches)

Cindy's driving skills are really not bad, and when she heard Spencer's shout, she actually hit the car in one direction while driving at high speed.

You must know that at this moment, you are driving in a wilderness full of ice and snow, and if you are not careful, you will end up with a car crash and death.

Qu Jianlei stood in the car body and was thrown again.

But fortunately, he noticed Xue'er's abnormality for the first time and firmly controlled the balance of his body.

The turning radius of a light truck is not large, not more than a hundred meters, and it is already quite rare on the snow.

Then he asked aloud, "What's going on?" ”

"Human!" Spencer replied loudly, "I guess I'm being targeted!" ”

"!" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Why is there such bullshit everywhere?" ”

Then he swooped down, then spun around in the air and grabbed the Gauss machine gun behind the body.

The modified light truck also has two vehicle-mounted machine guns, but the latter one has been somewhat damaged.

The machine gun mount was twisted by the bloodline snake, and the rotation was not very flexible, but it was certainly better than nothing.

Then he squinted and looked behind the car, trying to see what was going on.

However, the wind was cold, and the wheels rolled up large snowdrops, and I couldn't see what was going on behind it.

But within a few seconds, the shouting of a loudspeaker was heard behind him.

"The car stops! We just want to buy mutant beast meat, and we are surrounded by our people, so I advise you not to make a mistake about yourself! ”

"What bullshit," Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice, but he didn't even have the heart to scold the other party.

He didn't mind bumping into the other party, but the damage to the vehicle was serious at the moment, and his own number was relatively small.

In field encounters in bad weather, the numerical advantage will be greatly magnified.

In fact, he is more worried about the other party's traps, because he is good at this himself, and he knows the consequences of mental calculation and unintentionality.

As for asking the other party where they came from, it really doesn't make any sense.

If the other party is very strong, it is asking for trouble!

The point is, who can be sure that the name of the other party is true?

However, the next moment, a series of machine guns rang out, and the other party actually opened fire on them.

"Slow down!" Qu Jianlei shouted.

Visibility was not high in the wind and snow, but he still saw the general direction along the gunfire, and he had to slow down if he wanted to return fire.

Cindy slowed down without hesitation, and the Scorpion climbed from the cab into the body without waiting for the car to stop.

Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at her, "What are you making a fuss about?" ”

"Give me the on-board machine gun," the flower scorpion said without hesitation, "you use a single machine gun." ”

The individual machine gun was a little less powerful, but it needed a stronger body, and she felt that Kuro's physique was more suitable.

Qu Jianlei didn't fight with her, got out of the way, and said in his mouth, "Be careful." ”

This kind of weather, coupled with the snow particles rolled up by the wheels, it is not easy for the opponent to hit them, but it is still dangerous.

The flower scorpion wore gloves, picked up the handle of the gun, and shouted, "You must fight back...... Watch out for ambushes! ”

It's not that she's not afraid of death, but she can't hesitate at this time, and if she just runs away and doesn't fight back, it will boost the arrogance of the other party.

The next moment, the two machine guns spat out tongues of fire frantically, and Cindy didn't stop, just slowed down.

As long as you slow down, snow particles will be raised, and the accuracy of the two machine guns will be improved a lot.

After a period of crazy output, the two gradually found their senses, and the more they played, the more accurate they became.

And the two machine guns on the opposite side are worse, one is really poor in marksmanship, and the other is ...... Reluctant to ammunition.

The reason why they took the initiative to attack was to see that the other party was going to run before they moved, with the main purpose of intimidation.

The ambushers didn't really expect to do much damage, so they didn't want to spend too much ammo.

So their firepower was gradually suppressed.

"Damn," a machine-gun shooter complained as he hid behind an ice wall, "don't they have to spend money on ammunition?" ”

"Yes, if you drop some mutant beasts, you can buy a road," the robber naturally has the logic of a robber, "This is how much money burns?" ”

Qu Jianlei and the others fired ammunition worth almost 300 silver dollars, and the truck drove another kilometer before stopping.

That's almost half the amount of ammunition they used against the Frost Wolves.

Hearing the machine gun stop, Spencer, who had been looking behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, "Really...... It's extravagant. ”

"Hmph," Cindy snorted disapprerovingly, "shouldn't you be beaten up against these people?" ”

"It's a battle of wills, a battle of spirits," Spencer shook his head bitterly, "it's all money." ”

Cindy gave him a very disdainful look, "This pattern, no wonder it's so downcast...... Boss, do you want to make a U-turn? ”

In the second half of the sentence, she raised her voice, and she actually wanted to turn back and take revenge.

"No need," Qu Jianlei saw that the other party was no longer firing back, and walked to the front of the car body, "What if they set a trap?" ”

Cindy thought about it for a while, so she asked, "Then I sped up?" ”

"Don't be too fast," Qu Jianlei hung the individual machine gun on the lock of the car body and operated the machine gun in front of him.

And the flower scorpion was still holding the machine gun behind the car, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

They were ready to shoot back, and they certainly didn't want to go too fast.

Spencer was still nagging there, "Throw some garbage at the vultures, and the matter will be revealed." ”

Cindy couldn't help but scold him again, "Why? ”

Qu Jianlei spoke out loud when he heard this, "Spencer, find out who is ambushing us...... I'll give you fifty pieces of silver. ”

Spencer's face was pulled down, and he was refreshed when he heard the second half of the sentence.

Eventually, however, he sighed depressedly, "Fifty silver dollars...... It's hard to check. ”

"It's time for you to show your value," Qu Jianlei said coldly.

When the crack first inquired about the news, he was very happy to give money, but he really couldn't do that to this old liar.

Cindy glanced at Spencer, "Don't you guys have a monopoly on the mutant meat market here?" ”

"Not really," Spencer shook his head, "not even the men of the Six of Us can do it...... Those who come from outside are hunters. ”

The people of Zeus Sixth have a high self-esteem, but that is a sense of superiority from the heart, and they rarely fight against the barbarians.

Cindy replied dryly, "I don't believe it. ”

Spencer pouted depressedly, "There are some teams that will make small-scale acquisitions, and there really aren't large-scale monopolies." ”

Cindy replied simply, "Then you just follow this direction, and don't let us think you're useless." ”

Spencer muttered dissatisfied, "Cher found out about their ambush, which can be considered merit......"

I don't know if the other party was frightened by the powerful firepower, or if there was really no other ambush, and there was no change in the future.

The four of them and one dog circled around the ice field and returned to the settlement of the six of them.

The mutant beast was not in a hurry to deal with it for the time being, Qu Jianlei first opened the repair materials and prepared to start repairing the car.

The weather is really not suitable for repairing the car in the yard, but there is no way, so I can only come.

Once you drive out for repairs, all kinds of bruises and bullet holes on the car will tell everyone what happened.

Being attacked from the back of the car, but not afraid of people knowing, there are too many battles here.

In fact, even if he was recognized by the gang who blocked the way, he didn't care.

But if a car goes to fight a B-class mutant beast, and if it is injured like this, it can come back, and the harvest can be imagined.

Qu Jianlei has always been reluctant to be noticed by others.

Then a new problem arose, there were not many silver dollars, and there were silver tickets of two thousand less, but the silver tickets were ...... It's really getting less and less.

I'm going to have to rent some more books soon, and I need to replenish my ammunition, so I don't want to think of a way, I'm really going to be stretched.

Hua Scorpion was more aware of the team's financial situation, and couldn't help but ask Qu Jianlei, "Do you regret playing so much ammunition?" ”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "At least it's happy, let's use the silver ticket next." ”

"It's really a pleasure," the flower scorpion nodded, what adventurer wouldn't want to be happy? "But with a silver ticket?"

"The old doesn't go and the new doesn't come," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The pattern is a little bigger." ”

When Cindy and the three went out to buy materials, Geng Shougong came again.

He was a little stunned when he saw the corpses of the iron-devouring rat and the white-bellied bloodline snake in the yard, "You...... You guys? ”

"It's a fluke," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "Did you bring the book?" ”

Geng Shougong did bring another two hundred books, but he became more and more curious, "It's faster this time?" ”

"Knowledge is such a thing, always picking up faster and faster," Qu Jianlei smiled.

This time the hunt was very tiring, but his speed of reading was much higher.

Geng Shou accepts this explanation, and in fact there are many repetitive knowledge points in most books.

He was a little surprised when he saw the other party take out the silver ticket to pay the rent, "This is the use of the silver ticket?" ”

Then he glanced at the corpse of the mutant beast again, and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you don't care about the work of the maintenance master." ”

"Hey, don't mention it," Qu Jianlei said a little depressed, "I often encounter some unhappy things." ”

Geng Shougong was not surprised by his words at all, he smiled and asked, "Then why do you take this risk?" ”

"This is life," Qu replied calmly.

Well, Geng Shougong didn't bother to bother with him, "Are these mutant beasts for sale?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Cindy's mother and daughter and Spencer came back from purchasing materials.

Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "You talk to them, I'm not interested in this kind of trivial matter." ”

Geng Shougong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: You are doing big things, so I only deserve to talk about small things?

He is in charge of the maintenance engineer assessment of the entire Celestial Six Settlement, and he is a well-known figure in the settlement.

However, although he has great power, he is not rich in money, so he will publish books to subsidize the funds.

Of course, this is also the amazing potential shown by Qu Jianlei, otherwise he would not have made this exception.

Anyway, such a large number of mutant beasts are not suitable for people under the skin to negotiate the price, and it is worth his consideration.

Speaking of which, there are many hunters in Zeo VI, but a considerable part of the prey will not stay in Zeo VI.

——————

Chapter 88: Wake Up (Four Watches)

When Geng Shougong was bargaining with Cindy, there were also a few twists and turns.

Cindy thinks that the price given by the other party is good, after all, he is a person in the city and has a considerable status.

But when it came to the transaction, there was a disagreement, and Geng Shougong actually had to pay with the silver ticket issued by Zeus VI.

Cindy simply refused, not to mention that the silver tickets issued by the settlement were too versatile, and they had to be discounted when converting.

She said that if you have to settle with this kind of silver ticket, it can only be denominated at a 5% discount.

Geng Shougong couldn't stand it when he heard this, and said that he would give you a nine-percent discount at most, and he would definitely not drop it again.

Each settlement in the area will issue its own silver tickets, and the actual purchasing power will be discounted, but the discount rate is different.

Silver tickets issued by Cindy III, for example, are calculated at a 70% discount on the perimeter of the settlement.

The six of them also have these problems, but Geng Shougong is also proud to be the six of them, saying that our silver tickets are valuable.

Nine percent off is already my last degree of forbearance, and you actually want to give me a five percent discount...... Who is this to look down on?

But Cindy is also very persistent, then you just pay the silver dollar, we don't accept cash tickets.

"No cashier...... It's disrespectful to the Six," the old liar added leisurely beside him, who was also a member of the Six.

The flower scorpion couldn't look at it, "Mr. Geng, you can take out the silver ticket for the energy block you just received." ”

Geng Shougong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, you are stupid to me?

Leaving aside the controversy over the true value of the Celestial VI Silver Ticket, the point is that it can only be circulated locally.

In other settlements, the silver ticket of Zeus VI may not be unusable, but the value will definitely be greatly reduced.

And the energy block silver ticket is common in the entire Zeus-word settlement, and there is no discount at all, which is the real hard currency.

In the Zhouliu Settlement, it was more useful than the local silver dollar, how could Geng Shougong spend it again?

So he can only say that it is nine folds, and it will not be lower, if you don't approve of it, then I can only find someone to come to theorize.

But it's not like the flower scorpion has never seen the world: if that's the case, then we won't sell you these mutant beasts.

When Geng Shougong heard this, he was really angry, "Are you still renting this book?" ”

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was finally impatient with their noisy - he actually asked me if I rented a book?

"Is this not over? In the future, if you want to do business with us, you can only trade with the energy block silver ticket. ”

"This is the Six!" Geng Shougong is so angry that his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.

At this moment, he had long forgotten that the other party was the person he wanted to woo, "You actually don't recognize the currency here?" ”

"How rare, I've always traded with energy block silver tickets before," Qu Jianlei replied casually.

"You use other currencies to buy my things, who can control me not to sell?"

Geng Shougong finally fell silent, strictly speaking, even the silver dollar was the private currency of each family.

And the silver ticket of the energy block directly anchors the energy block, and it is no wonder that people are strong.

After a long time, he sighed, "Then the silver dollar?" ”

Qu Jianlei didn't make a sound, but the flower scorpion snorted, "Wouldn't it be over if you said that earlier?" ”

The corpse of the B-class mutant beast was sold for 1,300 silver dollars, and more than 600 were used before and after the car was repaired, and 400 silver dollars of ammunition were replenished.

This time's income is not much stronger than last time, and the profit is only enough for Qu Jian Lei to read.

But it can't be helped, hunting is like this, it depends on luck to eat, and your own team is not strong enough.

Because of the need to repair the car, Qu Jianlei stayed at home for twenty days before starting his third hunt.

In this hunt, he directly aimed at the A-level mutant beast Snow Hidden Leopard.

The snow leopard is very good at concealing its whereabouts, its movements are extremely fast, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and there are times when it is alone and with a companion.

It depends on the situation, anyway, there are usually no more than four snow leopards in the group.

The main thing is that the guy's meat is edible - even if the taste is very average, and the fur is expensive, and the bones are even more expensive.

Hearing that he was going to hunt the Snow Leopard, Spencer couldn't bear it anymore, "I'll give up, or you can kill me now." ”

"You can give up, Cher has to follow," said Flower Scorpion without hesitation, "it works." ”

The combat power and group level of the snow mastiff are much lower than those of the snow leopard.

But the good thing is that the snow mastiff has a high IQ and is not too suppressed by the natural ranks, so it is relatively easy to spot the snow leopard.

So those big groups go out, usually with multiple mastiffs.

Spencer couldn't refuse, he and Cher did have a deep relationship, but he didn't rent Cher before, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to repay it.

Now that the flower scorpion wants to borrow, there is no reason why he should not agree - people don't talk about eating, drinking, and living, and he is still in the other party's nest.

As for Xue'er's possible accident, there is really no need to care about this.

Every life in the wasteland is strong and fragile, and as long as it doesn't die from a conspiracy, there's nothing to regret.

Then Qu Jianlei looked at Cindy, "It's very dangerous, or ...... Are you staying? ”

Although she is a woman, she really deserves to be a self-proclaimed old driver, and her driving skills are so high that it is estimated that the flower scorpion is a little worse.

But Cindy shook her head, "Let's go together, but if I hunt the Snow Leopard, I'll take half of it." ”

She worries her daughter the most, and she doesn't dare to leave if both Spencer and Cher stay.

But as long as Spencer was there, she believed that Claire would not suffer.

In this case, she also had to fight an A-level mutant beast, and even asked for a share.

In fact, in terms of spending money, Panda Boss has never treated her badly, but she still wants to save a little money.

This is to take her life to Bo, and she doesn't think her conditions are excessive.

"Then let's go," Qu Jian raised his chin, "There must be a divide, if you can hunt it with your own hands, it will definitely be more than half of it." ”

As the off-road truck drove away, Claire turned to look at Spencer, pulled out her laser pistol and pointed it at the other side.

"Go into your room...... I'll count to three! ”

"Do you want to do this, I'm old," Spencer's face was full of helplessness, "Beware of going too far." ”

"Huh?" Claire rolled her eyes and opened the insurance, "Shoot and kill...... Doesn't seem to count as murder? ”

"Well, I know you're not even fifteen," Spencer sighed helplessly, turning and walking towards the room......

Qu Jianlei and the three of them drove on the wasteland for three days and three nights, and ran into a convoy of three vehicles.

Cindy's eyes were good, "Boss, it's the one who repairs the mechanical arm, it seems to recognize us." ”

"Don't pay attention to him," Qu Jianlei replied disapprerovingly, "I repaired it, and he also paid, what else do you have to intersect?" ”

It's mainly that woman, it's really too annoying, he doesn't want to care, but he can't completely let go.

The car continued to move forward, and who would have thought that the three cars on the opposite side chased after them as soon as they turned their heads, and they kept honking their horns.

Cindy slowed down, and Qu Jianlei directly operated the machine gun behind the body.

The flower scorpion picked up a single machine gun and fired a burst into the sky.

The meaning is already obvious: stop in moderation, or you will bear the consequences.

Then a tweeter sounded, "Is there a panda master in front?" Please stay, where are you going? ”

Qu Jianlei also used the tweeter on the car—this thing is much more common in wasteland cars than in handsets.

"Meeting in the wasteland is fateful, the wind and snow are dangerous, and each one is cherished!"

The three chasing cars slowed down, and the stout man couldn't help but complain, "Sister Guo'er, you did a good thing!" ”

When the woman beside him heard this, she couldn't help but speak coldly, "How 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 also because although she acts recklessly, she has always considered the group.

The man cocked the tweeter, "The mechanical arm repaired by the master is really useful, we are here to hunt mutant beasts......"

"Heart Moon Bear and Snow Hidden Leopard, Master, are your team going? If you're interested, you can form a team! ”

Qu Jianlei also replied, "We are just passing by, don't think too much." ”

People who once knew each other just passed by.

The snow hidden leopard is indeed difficult to find, and more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Qu Jianlei and they have not found the snow hidden leopard.

There is no need to squat, the main energy is spent on running back and forth, and a lot of fuel is spent.

There wasn't a lot of fighting, but because there were too many ways to run, and when you met the right prey on the way, you were killed.

That night, they chose a sheltered place and dug an underground cave to rest.

When she rested until midnight, Xue'er climbed up on one of her front legs, shook her head, and made a low "whine" sound from her mouth.

Qu Jianlei, who was meditating, opened his eyes suddenly, and asked with his eyes, "Is it the Snow Hidden Leopard?" ”

Xue'er nodded a little bit, this guy is really not ordinary smart.

It is not easy to find a suitable place to dig a hole in the wild, and it is rare to take a comfortable rest, and it turns out that something is wrong.

Qu Jianlei lightly kicked the flower scorpion and crept up.

At this time, the woke flower scorpion stretched out his hand and pushed Cindy awake.

Cindy slept soundly, and when she woke up, she was very used to it, but the two of them had already crawled out of the hole.

Xue'er just looked in a certain direction and stopped making a sound, Qu Jianlei and Hua Scorpion took out night vision goggles to watch.

About two kilometers away, there were three white shadows walking slowly.

Although I can't see it clearly, I can still tell that these are three adult snow leopards.

"Three ......" Qu Jianlei lowered his voice and spoke, "The sniper rifle is for you, can you solve one?" ”

Hua Scorpion hesitated and said, "The night vision effect is too poor, and the grasp of the day is a little greater." ”

The Snow 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 trio came out this time and rented a laser sniper rifle.

But even if it is a sniper rifle, it must be aimed at vulnerable places such as eyes to be able to kill with one hit.

The flower scorpion is quite confident in his marksmanship, but it is not ordinarily difficult to shoot his eyes two kilometers away.

As long as the first shot is not accurate, it is basically impossible to use a sniper rifle in the second shot.

(Four more to be, ask for a monthly pass and catch up, from tomorrow, plus more in the evening.) ）
