Chapter 206 Strange Manor(1/3)
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 someone will be killed.
Qu Jianlei stood in the carriage and was thrown away again.
Fortunately, he noticed Xue'er's abnormality 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 the Gauss machine gun behind the truck body.
The modified light truck also has two on-board machine guns, but the latter one has been somewhat damaged.
The machine gun frame is twisted and twisted by the bloody snake, and the rotation is not very flexible, but it is definitely better than nothing.
Then he squinted his eyes and looked behind the car, trying to see clearly 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, a loudspeaker shouted 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 him.
He doesn't mind a collision with the other party, but the current vehicle damage is 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 is more worried about what traps the other party has, because he is good at this himself and knows the consequences of doing mental calculations without intending to do so.
As for questioning the other party's origin, that really makes no sense.
If the other party is very strong, you are asking for trouble!
The key is, who can be sure that the name given 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 before the car stopped, Hua Xiezi climbed from the cab into the body of the car.
Qu Jianlei turned to look at her, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Give me the vehicle-mounted machine gun," Hua Xingzi said without hesitation, "You use the individual machine gun."
The individual machine gun was slightly less powerful, but required a stronger body. She felt that Krishna's physique was more suitable.
Qu Jianlei didn't argue with her, moved away from her, and warned, "Be careful."
In this kind of weather, coupled with the snow particles kicked up by the wheels, it is not easy for the opponent to hit them, but it is still dangerous.
Hua Scorpion put on his gloves, picked up the gun handle, and shouted loudly, "We must fight back hard...be careful of an ambush!"
It's not that she's not afraid of death, it's that she can't hesitate at times like this. 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 flame crazily, and Cindy didn't stop, just slowed down.
As long as you slow down, snow particles will be thrown 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 ambushers really didn't expect much damage, so they didn't want to spend too much ammunition.
As a result, their firepower was gradually suppressed.
"Damn it," a machine gunner hiding behind the ice wall couldn't help complaining, "don't they have to pay for their ammunition?"
"Yes, if you leave some mutated beasts behind, you can buy a road." The robber naturally had 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 to deal with the Frost Wolves.
When he heard 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 gave him a very disdainful look, "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 opponent no longer fought back and walked to the side of the carriage, "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 the individual machine gun on the lock of the truck body and fired the machine gun in front.
Hua Scorpion, on the other hand, was still holding the machine gun at the back of the car, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
They are ready to fight back at any time, and of course they don't want to drive too fast.
But Spencer was 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 this and spoke out, "Spencer, find out who ambushed us...I'll give you fifty silver dollars."
Spencer's face dropped, but he became more energetic after hearing the second half of the sentence.
However, in the end, he sighed depressedly, "Fifty silver dollars... it's hard to check."
"It's time for you to show your worth," Qu Jianlei said coldly.
When Caixin first inquired about the information, he was very happy to give money, but he really couldn't do this to this old liar.
Cindy glanced at Spencer, "Don't you have anyone who monopolizes the mutated animal meat market?"
"Really not," Spencer shook his head, "Even people from Zhou Liu can't do it...all the outsiders are hunters."
People in Zeuliu have a high self-esteem, but this comes from a heartfelt 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 are really 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 circled the ice field and returned to the Zhouliu settlement.
There was no rush to deal with the mutated beast for the time being. Qu Jianlei first sent out 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.
I was attacked from the rear of the car, but I wasn't worried about people 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 vehicle is used to fight B-level mutant beasts 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 arose. There were not many silver dollars left, and there were still banknotes of 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 Xiezi was 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 Scorpion nodded. What adventurer wouldn't want to settle a grudge? "But with a banknote?"
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "the pattern should be bigger."
When Cindy and the others went out to purchase materials, Geng Shougong came again.
He was a little stunned when he saw the corpses of the iron-eating rat and the white-bellied blood-threaded snake in the yard, "You...you beat them?"
"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, "Is it faster this time?"
To be continued...
