Qu Jianlei was indifferent to accepting two people into the team; with two high-level combat powers, naturally, there needed to be someone to assist.

The key issue was, "Can she drive?"

"Her driving skills are excellent, and she can also shoot," Flower Scorpion had done thorough research, "I said, if the situation turns bad, she'll rush out and run..."

As a result, Cindy voluntarily expressed that she would quietly bring over her stashed fuel by nightfall.

She didn't think her actions were wrong because if she died, her daughter would live very miserably.

Previously, there was no possibility of escape, so she naturally scolded Qu Jianlei, but now it's different.

Qu Jianlei also didn't think she was wrong; being human implies having selfish desires.

However, the most important issue at the moment was, "What are the characteristics of the Frost Wolves?"

"I haven't had the chance to ask," Flower Scorpion answered awkwardly,

"Her credibility needs to be verified; contact time is so short, it's not appropriate to reveal our foreign identities yet."

Qu Jianlei was speechless, so he picked up the Gauss Automatic Rifle again, "While it's still daylight, let's shoot a few more."

He fired shot by shot, methodically, without attracting much attention.

Flower Scorpion, holding binoculars, silently watched, occasionally tightening her grip on the Laser Rifle.

As darkness began to fall, the woman named Cindy unexpectedly climbed up onto the truck without a word.

Qu Jianlei glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then continued shooting at the distant Frost Wolves.

The Frost Wolves he faced had retreated to nearly two kilometers away, yet they still couldn't escape his precise shots.

However, these creatures, for some unknown reason, were jumping back and forth without retreating further.

Cindy widened her eyes and watched for a while before turning to ask Flower Scorpion, "Can he really hit them?"

This was the time to showcase the team's strength! Flower Scorpion handed her the binoculars without a word.

After looking for a bit, Cindy put down the binoculars, looking astonished at Qu Jianlei, "Is this your confidence?"

Her question was vague, yet clear enough: you intend to use this to escape?

Flower Scorpion glanced at her with indifference, "Then you haven't seen my marksmanship yet."

Cindy remained silent for a moment before asking, "If that's the case, why not kill the Wolf King?"

Qu Jianlei moved his eyes away from the automatic rifle and exchanged a glance with Flower Scorpion: Does this wolf pack really have a Wolf King?

It's normal for a pack to have a Wolf King, but they couldn't risk revealing their identities due to such common knowledge.

But this also explained why the pack hadn't retreated; perhaps the Wolf King didn't approve?

Flower Scorpion paused before answering, "Setting aside whether the Wolf King is easy to kill, we have to find it first."

Cindy remained silent, clearly having no say in this matter.

Qu Jianlei rarely spoke, but he lightly asked, "How did the Frost Wolves suddenly appear?"

The question was vague, yet strangely, Cindy didn't doubt it.

However, she didn't know how to answer either, "It's late summer; Frost Wolves coming out now to hunt isn't unreasonable."

"But choosing this place is rather puzzling; we're not prepared for this... I'll go ask."

Seeing her willingness to cooperate, Flower Scorpion spoke up, "Don't you have a direct warning system connected to the settlement here?"

In the Hong Character Gathering Area, most supply stations have a warning or assistance request system.

"We are a seasonal supply station," Cindy replied solemnly, "we only operate half the year."

She felt the other party should understand and didn't explain further, directly getting off the vehicle and leaving.

Darkness deepened, and the wolf pack began gradually closing in.

Aside from Qu Jianlei's side, Frost Wolves from other directions were already within four to five hundred meters of the low wall.

Sporadic gunshots echoed, mostly single shots or bursts, as the machine gunners remained composed.

The searchlights at the supply point were already on; Frost Wolves have very sharp vision in low light, requiring vigilance.

However, as Cindy mentioned, this supply point is seasonal, with only three searchlights.

As a supplement, there was an extremely bright Elemental Ion Lamp that could illuminate a substantial surrounding area.

This was somewhat like the xenon lamps on Blue Star, shining bright at night, also carrying the meaning of a beacon.

But most of the time, this lamp was just a backup; how could vehicles traveling by night lack headlights?

The Ion Lamp lit up, causing the wolf pack to slightly recoil, retreating to beyond five hundred meters.

But simultaneously, standing in the light looking into the darkness, the adventurers' vision was inevitably affected.

Qu Jianlei continued calmly shooting the Frost Wolves, steadily firing every five to six seconds.

Flower Scorpion proactively organized his ammo magazine; his marksmanship was something she had become numb to, not even wanting to look through the binoculars anymore.

She merely asked, somewhat regretfully, "Can't the speed be increased?"

"Do you think it's just a matter of pulling the trigger?" Qu Jianlei asked softly, then spoke up, "Nutrient Injection."

Flower Scorpion opened a Nutrient Injection, skillfully feeding it into his mouth, a motion she was very familiar with.

For an Elite Level combatant, finding someone willing to feed them was indeed extremely rare.

Because Qu Jianlei's gun was suppressing them, the Frost Wolves in his direction basically kept a distance of seven hundred meters.

In the evening, someone noticed this scene and felt that it might be a strategy by the Frost Wolves but didn't pay much attention.

Moreover, everyone was under heavy attack pressure and didn't have time to pay attention to other directions.

Now that the Ion Lamp was lit, everyone's vision was affected, making it even harder to see clearly.

But no matter what, the direction Qu Jianlei was in had the least pressure from the wolves.

Those fighting alongside him, many had a sense in their hearts that the Gauss Gun behind them was definitely not of an ordinary Divine Shooter!

But people in other directions couldn't really be sure.

As it was about to enter deep into the night, Qu Jianlei advised Flower Scorpion, "You should sleep for a while, who knows how long this battle will last."

Flower Scorpion was indeed obedient, laying down in the truck bed, covering her eyes, and fell asleep soundly.

This was a true Adventurer, not only with a big heart; the key was being able to sleep on such a battlefield with gunfire everywhere!

The night was getting deeper, and the wolf packs were getting closer, with gunfire increasingly intense and even the machine guns couldn't help but roar out.

Finally, at a certain moment, a gap on the left side of the gate was breached, and over a dozen Frost Wolves charged in.

Among the survivors, there were finally casualties.

Seeing this, the wolf packs in other directions also pounced frantically, and for a moment, the machine guns roared in unison.

Even in Qu Jianlei's direction, the sound of machine guns started firing.

However, he understood the situation, focusing on semi-automatic firing with the automatic rifle without moving the vehicle-mounted machine gun.

In other directions, there were even people throwing oil bottles, creating fires outside the low wall.

The power of the fire was indeed not small, no Frost Wolf wished to approach the flames, seemingly having a bit of restraint effect.

The scrawny man was anxious when he saw this, shouting loudly, "Save the oil bottles for critical moments."

"Isn't it critical now?" Someone couldn't help but retort angrily, "If we don't use it now, when we die, it will benefit the Frost Wolves?"

The Frost Wolves charging in were indeed increasing in number, the scrawny man could only shout loudly, "Reserve team, go!"

A reserve team of more than a dozen finally opened fire.

They were responsible for central support, also taking on the task of switching shifts in the latter half of the night, having three machine guns, and many were sleeping soundly.

The reserve team went into action, quickly repelling the wolf pack's attack, and people began counting the casualties.

Two dead, five seriously injured, more than ten lightly injured, and... four missing!

The concept of missing was somewhat reluctant, as one couldn't say they were dragged away by beasts; it was equivalent to being dead anyway.

With six dead and five seriously injured, the attrition had already reached ten percent, but the battle couldn't be stopped.

Taking advantage of the wolves' retreat, the adventurers even made a strong offensive effort, slaying quite a number of Frost Wolves.

The wolf pack retreated a bit, and the bigwigs took the opportunity to gather together and discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, Cindy quietly approached, with a water pouch in hand — actually containing oil.

She found Flower Scorpion asleep, so she handed the water pouch to Qu Jianlei, whispering, "You're really good at shooting."

Earlier, the entire supply station was on the verge of collapse, but she was, of course, more focused on Qu Jianlei.

She saw him shooting calmly, not panicking at all, which alleviated her inner fear somewhat.

After arriving here and seeing Flower Scorpion sleeping soundly, she admired him even more.

Qu Jianlei opened the water pouch and sniffed it, then handed her an empty one, "Got more? Fill it up."

Cindy quickly brought over another bag of oil.

Clearly, she had prepared herself psychologically on this trip, speaking in a low voice.

"It's said that someone deliberately attracted the Frost Wolves... but this is just a guess, don't spread it."

"Deliberately attracted?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows, "This should be considered treachery, right?"

"Don't speak of it," Cindy whispered, "or people's morale will fall apart."

Qu Jianlei threw out another empty water pouch, "Alright, fill this one, how much more? We're preparing to leave."

"This water pouch is all that can be filled," Cindy replied softly, "It wasn't easy for me to save this much..."

"Alright then," Qu Jianlei spoke indifferently, "then come to the truck and sleep, just say you're her friend."

He wasn't good at socializing but would never let down anyone who trusted him.

Sleeping on the truck... Cindy turned and left upon hearing, feeling as if a heavy stone in her heart had finally dropped.

She didn't charge for the oil, hoping to use all her savings to gamble on a chance to survive.

Only by surviving herself can her daughter continue to live, or rather... live with dignity.

The third bag of oil was handed over, when suddenly a voice sounded nearby, "You... how much ammo do you have left?"

Qu Jianlei turned to see that it was the scrawny man.

I'm not good at negotiations, he thought of calling Flower Scorpion awake, but... there's more fighting in the latter half of the night, right?

So he straightforwardly replied, "None of your damn business!"
