Cindy's driving skills weren't bad at all. Hearing Spencer's shout, she managed to swiftly turn the car while driving at high speed.

Mind you, right now they were driving through a wilderness covered in ice and snow, where a single slip could mean destruction and death.

Qu Jianlei stood in the cargo bed of the car and was thrown about again.

Fortunately, he noticed Xue'Er's abnormality immediately and firmly maintained his balance.

The turning radius of the light truck wasn't large, not exceeding a hundred meters, which was quite rare on the snow.

Only then did he loudly ask, "What's going on?"

"Humans' scent!" Spencer shouted loudly, "It seems like someone's been watching us!"

"Damn!" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but curse, "Why are there always these shitty problems everywhere?"

Then he crouched low and sprang up suddenly, spinning in the air to grab hold of the Gauss Machine Gun at the back of the cargo bed steadily.

The modified light truck also had two vehicle-mounted machine guns, but the one at the back was already somewhat damaged.

The machine gun's stand had been twisted by Bloodline Snake, making its rotation not very smooth, but it was definitely better than nothing.

Then he squinted his eyes, looking back, trying to see what was going on.

However, the bitter cold wind and the wheels kicking up large amounts of snow made it hard to see what was happening behind.

But within a few seconds, a voice came from a loud speaker behind them.

"That car! Stop! We just want to purchase some Mutated Beast Meat, and we have people all around, I advise you not to get it wrong!"

"What the hell is this crap," Qu Jianlei muttered quietly, not even interested in exchanging insults with them.

He didn't mind confronting them, but currently, the vehicle was severely damaged, and they were outnumbered.

In this kind of adverse weather, the advantage of numbers in an outdoor encounter could be significantly magnified.

Actually, he was more worried about any traps they might set, since he was good at such tactics himself and knew the consequences of planning against an unsuspecting target.

As for questioning their origins, it was really meaningless.

If they turned out to be strong, that would be adding to their troubles!

The key question was, who could guarantee the name they gave was even real?

The next moment, a barrage of gunfire erupted, and they opened fire on them.

"Slow down!" Qu Jianlei shouted.

In the wind and snow, visibility was low, but he could still make out the general location by following the gunfire flames. To counterattack, they had to reduce speed.

Cindy slowed down without hesitation, and Flower Scorpion climbed into the cargo bed from the driver's seat even before the car stopped.

Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at her, "What are you getting involved for?"

"Give me the vehicle-mounted machine gun," Flower Scorpion responded without hesitation, "You use the Single Soldier Machine Gun."

The Single Soldier Machine Gun had less power but required a stronger physique, so she thought Black Heaven would be more suitable.

Qu Jianlei didn't argue with her, stepped aside, and reminded her, "Be careful."

In this kind of weather, with snow grains kicked up by the wheels, it was indeed hard for them to hit accurately, but there was still danger.

Flower Scorpion, wearing gloves, lifted the gun and shouted loudly, "We must fight back hard... be careful of another ambush!"

It wasn't that she wasn't afraid to die, but at this moment, hesitating would only fuel the opponent's arrogance if they just ran without counter-attacking.

The next moment, both machine guns unleashed their fiery tongues wildly, while Cindy continued driving slowly, having only slowed down the car.

Once they slowed down, snow grains naturally flew up, somewhat improving the accuracy of the two machine guns.

After a wild barrage, the two gradually found their rhythm, becoming more accurate with their shots.

On the opposite side, their two machine guns were less effective, partly due to poorer shooting skills and partly due to... reluctance to use up ammo.

The reason they initiated the attack was that they saw the others trying to flee, primarily aiming to intimidate.

The ambushers didn't expect to cause massive damage, so they weren't willing to expend too much ammunition.

So, their firepower gradually got suppressed.

"Damn," said a machine gunner hiding behind an ice wall, unable to help but complain, "Don't they have to pay for all that ammo?"

"Yeah, dropping a bit of Mutated Beast Meat would buy them a way through," bandits have their own kind of logic, "Is this what rich folk squander their money on?"

Qu Jianlei and his partner expended nearly 300 silver coins worth of ammunition, driving the truck another kilometer before stopping.

That amount of ammo was almost half of what they used against the Frost Wolf pack.

Hearing the machine gun fell silent, Spencer, who had been looking back all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It really is... extravagant."

"Humph," Cindy snorted disapprovingly, "Shouldn't we beat people like this hard?"

"A matter of pride, a matter of pride," Spencer shook his head in sorrow, "But that's all money."

Cindy, with utter disdain, shot him a look, "With such a low perspective, no wonder you're so down and out... Boss, should we turn around?"

In the latter half of her sentence, she raised her voice, actually contemplating turning around for revenge.

"No need," Qu Jianlei said, noticing no more counterattacks, as he walked up to the front of the cargo bed, "What if they've set a trap?"

Cindy thought about it and then asked, "Should I pick up speed?"

"Don't go too fast," Qu Jianlei hung the Single Soldier Machine Gun on the lock buckle of the cargo bed and took up the gun at the front.

And Flower Scorpion was still gripping the machine gun at the rear, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

The two of them were ready to counterattack at any moment, naturally not wanting the vehicle to move too fast.

Spencer was still nagging, "Dropping some garbage for those vultures would have smoothed things over."

Cindy couldn't help but snap back at him, "Why should we?"

At this, Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Spencer, if you find out who ambushed us... I'll give you fifty silver coins."
