Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 89: Ultimate War Soldier - Escaping Disaster (Double Release) (Part 3)


The Flower Scorpion was focused on picking off the male leopard, so Cindy had nothing to do.

The Single Soldier Machine Gun wasn't powerful enough against the male leopard and easily damaged the pelt, while Qu Jianlei was entangled with the female leopard, unable to fire.

So she aimed at the two leopard cubs, spraying bullets wildly, heavily injuring one and slightly injuring the other.

At the critical moment, Xue'Er charged in, biting the heavily injured one to death and continually harassing the lightly injured one.

The Snow Mastiff's size and combat ability were far inferior to the Snow Concealment Leopard, but the two were sworn enemies.

The reason being simple: Snow Mastiffs were on the Snow Concealment Leopards' menu.

Ultimately, with Xue'Er's cooperation, Cindy killed both Snow Concealment Leopard cubs.

The mother leopard, seeing this, was infuriated, trying constantly to tear at Xue'Er, but it was already heavily injured and tightly bound by Qu Jianlei.

In short, all four Snow Concealment Leopards were annihilated, making the family reunion a tragic one.

The cubs' pelts were worthless and were shredded, but... the meat tasted relatively good.

Cindy's results weren't bad, but the amount of ammunition consumed was astounding—her marksmanship wasn't good at all.

But it wasn't her fault; before her husband got into an accident, she was just a well-off housewife.

Cindy was aware, although the boss promised that if she killed the Snow Concealment Leopards, her share would be increased, she didn't expect to ask for more.

"Two Snow Concealment Leopard cubs, fifty silver coins... Boss, do you think that's okay?"

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "Am I that stingy?"

"You two are the main combat forces," Cindy, being sensible, stated clearly, "I just picked up the scraps."

"Looking at the entire battle overall, without you two distracting them, I wouldn't have dared to act... I understand this!"

"And I wasted so much ammunition; we must consider returning early, and on this, I am responsible."

Hearing her say this, Qu Jianlei had nothing more to say, especially since the ammunition wastage was indeed severe—she held down the trigger and didn't let go!

However, such a battle mentality can't be changed overnight; it needs to be cultivated continuously... that's why they say only those who've fought many battles are veterans?

So this matter couldn't really be argued, "It'll get better gradually, I'll give you half a share of the two big ones too."

The market price for adult Snow Concealment Leopards was about five hundred to eight hundred, but keeping the meat took away much of the value.

In any case, Qu Jianlei wouldn't go back on his word regarding the distribution.

Two days later, they encountered two more strong young Snow Concealment Leopards.

They were likely brothers, taken down again by Qu Jianlei and the Flower Scorpion.

By this time, half of the truck bed was occupied, and they began their return journey.

By bad luck, on the way back, they ran into a lone Snow Concealment Leopard, notably bigger.

This time, Qu Jianlei was handling the Laser Sniper Rifle, incapacitating it with two shots, and finishing it with the Laser Rifle with two more.

While moving the corpse, they found that this Snow Concealment Leopard was quite old, already entering its twilight years.

No wonder Qu Jianlei felt its movements were a bit sluggish during the kill.

"See if there are any Mutant Crystals," the Flower Scorpion eagerly suggested, as the probability of finding crystals in such Mutant Beasts is higher.

"Doesn't seem hopeful," Qu Jianlei muttered softly, and the fact proved him right.

It wasn't that his words were prophetic, but he had a faint sense of the Crystals, and he felt nothing from the leopard carcass.

Just over a hundred kilometers from the Zhou Six Settlement, they were stopped again.

By chance, those who stopped them weren't strangers—two people were on a snowmobile.

It was the two who had made a deep impression on them.

Qu Jianlei, who had a rather high opinion of himself, felt no urge to resist in front of these two.

The two stopped the truck, and the motorcyclist got down, swaggering over, "It really is you, stalking the Snow Concealment Leopards!"

The staking out the other day hadn't escaped their notice, but they simply left.

Then he straightforwardly asked, "Did you hunt any Snow Concealment Leopards? We're buying!"

Their attitude, not even mentioning "high price," showed an obvious disregard, worse than Hongyi's meat dominance.

The one who had single-handedly halted the two Snow Concealment Leopards was still calmly sitting on the motorcycle, not even intending to get off.

Facing such attitude and demands, Qu Jianlei could only muster the courage to respond, "We did, but we need them ourselves."

"Need them?" The motorcyclist looked at him suspiciously, with indescribable contempt, "You know how to use them?"

To most people, A-level Mutant Beasts were synonymous with expensive, but using them yourself was almost impossible—no one would use them!

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei was quite displeased. Who were they looking down on?

However, in the end, he just stated calmly, "The meat is meant to be consumed."

"Eating Snow Concealment Leopard meat?" The person scoffed, thinking, 'Aren't you afraid it'll burst you?'

He didn't bother arguing; some people had just never seen good stuff. If they wanted to keep it, let them keep it, "If you find a Crystal, we'll buy it."

Still no mention of "high price," Qu Jianlei calmly stated, "Crystal... someone is offering a high price for it."

He didn't really want to oppose these two, even if their attitude made him uncomfortable.

After all, he felt an inexplicable kinship with such extraordinary strength... Could it be that I'm not the only one who crossed over?

So his refusal wasn't particularly firm.
