Chapter 59: Lurking

Qu Jianlei naturally had a purpose in asking for information about Silly Qu.

Hua Xiezi is also an old man, so she guessed what he was thinking, and she said it simply.

"Most people have gone into the mountain to look for you. There are still some people waiting at the foot of the mountain. Only a few people are looking for clues about Silly Qu."

Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief. That means... maybe the mecha hasn't been discovered yet?

Hua Xiezi had been observing him carefully. Although Krishna's eyelids were habitually drooped, she could still feel his relaxation.

So she asked carefully, "Are you... still planning to go out to the mountains?"

Qu Jianlei raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "The question you are asking now is a bit inappropriate."

"I mainly want to help you," Hua Xiezi didn't want to be misunderstood by him at all.

"For example, they have collected at least a dozen night vision telescopes. It is difficult for you to go out at night."

There are not many night vision telescopes in the wasteland, and Qu Jianlei got one by chance.

In an ordinary adventurer team, one or two is enough.

As long as there is not a large-scale fight between adventurers, this thing is only responsible for night vigilance - few people hunt in the middle of the night.

More than a dozen night vision binoculars... Apparently, the tracking convoy also plundered a lot from the Hongyi settlement.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "Who am I provoking?"

Then he looked at Hua Scorpion again and said sincerely, "Thank you very much."

Although he is accustomed to being cautious, he may still get into trouble without the other party's warning.

"I just hope I can help you," Hua Xiezi replied seriously, "I can help you find a passage."

Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, just looked at her indifferently - Do you think I will believe your empty words?

Hua Scorpion also felt that the other party could not be so hasty, so he subconsciously defended himself by saying, "I am helping myself by helping you."

However, this is still not convincing. From her standpoint, harming the other party can also help herself.

So she added, "Your supplies should not be enough to cross the Endless Mountains. You need to go back and prepare some more."

There was still no emotion in Qu Jianlei's eyes - Sorry, I'm really not short of supplies.

Hua Scorpion thought again, "I can also prepare some supplies. We can support each other when crossing the mountains."

Qu Jianlei finally spoke, "Is it possible for you to leave your companions and come with me?"

This is impossible! Hua Scorpion understands this very well. The two companions are her fighting partners who have been working with her for many years.

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei belatedly, "So, you are worried that we will turn our backs on guests?"

"Where are the hosts and guests?" Qu Jianlei replied calmly. What the other party said was indeed what he was afraid of.

But this matter is easy to solve. "If you really want to cross the mountains, you can choose your own way. There is no need to go with me."

Hua Scorpion looked at him in astonishment. Without a good hand like you, how could we dare to think about crossing the mountains?

"Okay, anyway, thank you for informing me," Qu Jianlei took out two centimeters of energy blocks and placed them on the ground.

Then he slowly took two steps back and said, "You go, I will protect myself."

Hua Scorpion looked at him blankly for almost five seconds, then stepped forward to pick up the energy block, turned around and left.

After walking for almost a kilometer, she turned around and took a look. Where could she still see the figure from before?

Qu Jianlei's mood was really depressed, but at times like this, he had to stay calm.

There were more than a dozen night vision binoculars guarding the entrance to the mountain, and he would not bet on which entrance might not have a telescope.

So his choice is...to just endure it for now.

But he would not trust Hua Scorpion without reservation, so after nightfall, he continued deep into the mountains.

The endless mountains at night were definitely not peaceful, not to mention that he was already deep into the danger zone and had to go deeper.

However, there was no other way. No matter how ferocious the beast was, it could not be as ruthless as the human heart. Qu Jianlei had no choice.

Fortunately, since he began to practice, he has become sharper and wiser, and he also carries night vision binoculars.

After all, every time he comes, he has to stay in the mountains for several days. Even if he is not hunting at night, self-defense is still necessary.

Some animals are cold-blooded and cannot be seen with night vision binoculars. At this time, his eyesight and ears must be tested.

In addition to his hearing and eyesight, he also has excellent sword skills. Only with this reliance can he dare to go deeper.

There were some thrills as we went deeper. The first half of the night was relatively smooth, but in the second half of the night we encountered a group of snakes and had to fight hard to escape.

At dawn, he was unexpectedly attacked by two mutated mountain monitor lizards.

After another hard fight, he beheaded a giant lizard.

Another monitor lizard saw that the situation was bad and tried to escape, but he shot it with seven or eight consecutive shots from his laser rifle.

We really can't let this guy go, otherwise if someone else discovers the injured monitor lizard, he will face siege from all sides.

The sad thing is that not only is the flesh of this thing inedible, but none of its parts are valuable.

The same was true for the eight snakes killed in the middle of the night.

Not only did Qu Jianlei have to eliminate these guys, he also had to find a place to dump the bodies to avoid being discovered.

On normal days, he would avoid these guys, but when he was on the road in the middle of the night, he was really hard to guard against.

After two battles, he really felt pain... It was purely a loss-making business.

That night, he advanced almost seventy kilometers. In a straight line, it was probably less than thirty kilometers.

After dawn, he found a place to rest, just in time to meditate and practice.

After it got dark, he stewed a pot of meat under the cover of the fire. Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, at least it had to be cooked.

The journey went a little smoother that night, but I encountered a little confusion again on the third night.

But at this time, he had penetrated more than 70 kilometers in a straight line and encountered countless dangers.

He believed that it would be almost impossible for a small team of three or four adventurers to get here.

The people who are tracking and searching for him should be elites, but even an elite team cannot get here quietly.

When encountering wild beasts or mutated beasts, a fight will inevitably occur, and they will definitely be alarmed.

It rained again in the mountains that day, and Qu Jianlei chose to stop and rest.

The next day, he did not leave again, but dug out a temporary shelter.

He stayed here for more than twenty days, during which time he actually hunted two more golden bears.

As long as he had meat and firewood, he could concentrate on his cultivation and put aside all distracting thoughts.

It wasn't until the weather started to get colder that he started to return cautiously.

In the past, he went to the mountains for a maximum of thirteen or fourteen days, but this time it lasted for one and a half months.

No matter how patient the other party is, they can't continue a large-scale search for so long, right?

The way back was not smooth either, especially since he was not walking on an old road, and there were some deviations.

By the time he arrived at the safe zone, it was eight days later, and he had more than a hundred kilograms of mutated beast meat on his shoulders.

There is no way, there is no condition to make pork floss in the mountains, so I can only sprinkle some salt on it and marinate it.

When he arrived at the safe area, he wrapped the meat in felt cloth and chose a place to bury it.

By this time, it would have been almost two months since I entered the mountain.

However, Qu Jianlei still found suspicious people looking around during the day.

They shouldn't give up so easily... Qu Jianlei was not very surprised by this.

However, as long as there aren't that many people searching, that's good news for him.

There are not many openings out of the mountains nearby, and the total number of openings, whether easy or difficult to walk, will not exceed five.

But Qu Jianlei didn't choose those places. He directly chose a place that was impossible to get in and out of.

It was a continuous steep slope, more than three kilometers away from the nearest mountain pass.

He observed during the day and found that there was indeed no one around.

When I looked at it again at night, there was still no one—that’s right!

During the intensive search of the mountain, there must be people guarding this place, but with fewer manpower, places with low probability may be abandoned.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he relied on his strong skills to sneak down the mountain quietly.

In the process, he unexpectedly discovered that alarm bells and traps were set up in some places.

Fortunately, he was careful enough and didn't move too fast, so he managed to get out of the way without any danger.

However, it can also be seen from this that the other party is really determined to win from him.

By the time he left the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.

Qu Jianlei didn't try to be brave. He found a hollow, dug a hole, and lay down directly in it, covering himself with a protective colored felt cloth.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, he took off the felt and sat up.

The next step is to drive at night. In the wasteland, there are really not many people who dare to drive at night, unless they are a large team.

But if a large group is traveling at night, they will definitely turn on their headlights and be able to see them from a distance.

Qu Jianlei hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the abandoned warehouse just after midnight.

He used night vision goggles to observe and found that no one was around. He carefully touched in - what if there was an alarm bell?

Facts have proved that he thought a little too much and there was really nothing in it.

While turning over the piles of broken bricks and tiles, he also noticed his buried sign - no one had touched it.

After climbing over the rubble, he finally saw the mecha he had been dreaming about, without any changes.

This thing sounds a bit incredible. Such a large mecha, which was not well hidden, actually escaped a large-scale search.

But this is indeed the case, and Qu Jianlei doesn’t know how to explain this scene.

In his opinion, this should be because the other party focused their main attention on "Krishna".

Krishna's whereabouts can be traced, not many people care about what is going on outside the mountains, and even if it is silly news, they will only ask about it in settlements.

Maybe someone came to the abandoned warehouse to search, but since I have night vision binoculars in hand, a casual glance is enough.

At this time, Qu Jianlei was extremely grateful to the group of people with whom he traded.

If the mecha trade wasn't too sensitive, this news might have been revealed, right?

In fact, even now, he is not sure whether the other party has confessed or not.

Anyway, the mecha was not discovered, which is a good thing.
