Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 65 Geothermal
Winged snakes are very rare. Although they don't fly very high, they are much harder to deal with than ordinary snakes.

It's almost winter now, and the snakes before hibernation are as ferocious as in spring.

Flower scorpions are already quite cautious, but snakes are hard to guard against, let alone winged snakes.

This kind of situation, even if it is encountered during the day, is not very easy to deal with, and it is still at night.

The rider was bitten by a poisonous snake, cut off his arm, and withdrew from the ranks of adventurers.

She was able to wait for Heitian in the danger zone, but she actually took a considerable risk.

But after Qu Jianlei pulled her aside, he raised his hand and slashed out, a three-meter-long winged snake fell to the ground.

Hua Xiezi looked at the man next to him in astonishment, "So...you'll be beheaded?"

"What else do you need?" Qu Jianlei gave her a strange look, "Shouting a slogan or something?"

Hua Xiezi was taken aback for a moment, but still sighed sincerely, "It really is a good skill, is there any crystallization?"

"C-level, what do you think?" Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The film can sell for some money, so you can accept it if you want it."

On this kind of winged snake, that is, the film is worth some money, and everything else is worthless, and the meat cannot be eaten.

The flower scorpion really cut off the two wings of the winged snake.

It has nothing to do with personal economic conditions. All adventurers in the wasteland are the same and will not waste any available resources.

She folded her wings and walked for a while before she asked, "Is it so easy for you to fight a C-level mutant beast?"

She did not lack experience in fighting mutant beasts, not to mention C-level, B-level had fought many times, but they were all team fights.

However, it is still very rare for a person to fight a C-level mutant beast, and most of the time they encounter it suddenly.

And the C-level winged snake was no easier to deal with than the B-level mutant beast, but it was slashed by the opponent.

Qu Jianlei didn't reply at all, so he just pretended he didn't hear it - what's there to show off?

Until dawn, the two still didn't reach the place, Hua Xiezi was out of breath, and his eyes were full of resentment.

She made a suggestion, "We have to take a break, I may be slowing down..."

"But you'll know in the future that I'm not the kind of person who just drags things down."

"Let's go," Qu Jianlei was unmoved, "The front is the territory of the Purple Blood Arrow Fox. At dawn, they are basically asleep."

The purple blood arrow fox is also a mutant beast, the kind that does not enter the level, the fox king may be a C level.

This thing has spikes on its body, and its fur is useless. Not only is it not worth hunting, but it is often in groups, so it is better to avoid it directly.

It was around afternoon when the two arrived at Qu Jianlei's hiding place.

This is already more than 100 kilometers deep into the "extremely dangerous zone".

"No wonder others couldn't find you," Hua Xiezi sighed, and then said, "There is a water heater? I'll take a shower first."

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, he also likes clean partners.

Although this temporary place is crude, but he has been stuck here for so long, and he has built it to some extent, and the living conditions are not bad.

The two took a bath one after another, and Qu Jianlei took out the pot to heat up the stew he had made earlier.

Although there are a lot of meat floss, but before the cold winter comes, if you can hunt wild animals, you still have to eat fresh ones first.

"Your qualifications are really not bad," Hua Xiezi admired, then stared at his face thoughtfully.

Qu Jianlei was stared at inexplicably, "What are you looking at?"

Both of them had already taken off their face scarves. Hua Xiezi's complexion was slightly dark and her face was somewhat weathered, but she was still pretty.

Hearing this, her face blushed slightly, so she couldn't say anything, she didn't expect you to be quite handsome.

She lowered her head to eat, "How do I feel, the silly song you told them...is a bit similar?"

She said it casually, but she really hit the mark.

Qu Jianlei didn't care either.

During this year, he had no shortage of food, not only grew taller but also gained weight—or stronger, not as thin and dry as before.

While munching on the meat, he replied casually, "From now on, the name Hei Tian won't be used anymore, call me Panda."

"Panda..." Hua Xiezi thought for a moment, sure he had never heard of this kind of creature, is it a bear or a cat?
But she didn't ask, just nodded slightly, "Then I will be called... Yellow Scorpion?"

It's really normal for adventurers to change their nicknames casually.

Qu Jianlei felt that it would be more appropriate for her to change her name to "Black Scorpion", but there was no need to say this.

After eating and drinking enough, Qu Jianlei went to sleep in the mecha - the transport mecha is good for this, you can sleep in the storage cabin.

Hua Xiezi said that he can be on duty at night, and in the second half of the night...can you take turns in Heitian?
Qu Jianlei replied indifferently: You can sleep too, I installed a lot of early warning devices outside.

Hua Xiezi was not polite when he heard the words, cleaned a storage compartment, and got into sleep by himself.

Both of them worked hard enough, and they fell asleep until almost noon the next day.

After packing up the items, it was almost evening, and when it got dark, the two of them started to set off and walked deep into the mountains.

At first, Hua Xiezi said that she could walk, but after walking for less than half an hour, she decisively decided to lie down in the storage cabin.

In the mountains, the walking speed is really too slow, and the mech is more convenient.

Qu Jianlei controlled the mecha to advance at a constant speed, and it could travel about thirty kilometers per hour.

It's not that it can't be faster, but that the output power at this speed is more economical, and the noise is also small.

When it was dawn, we had traveled almost [-] kilometers.

This is just the way out, and the straight-line distance is probably less than [-] kilometers. Most of the time, they are actually looking for the way.

When it was daylight, Qu Jianlei began to look for a place to live.

It is not difficult to find such a place in the mountains. After finding it, he began to dig with the mechanical arm.

Although Hua Scorpion has been an adventurer for many years, this is the first time he has seen mecha construction.

She couldn't help sighing, "With the mecha, it's much more convenient to survive in the mountains."

Qu Jianlei muttered, "It's good, but it's too much energy."

The mecha quickly dug out a big hole where he could hide, and he manipulated the mecha to go in, while the flower scorpion camouflaged the entrance of the hole.

For the flying mecha that might appear at any time, the two of them remained vigilant enough.

The days passed day by day like this, and after a month, the mecha traveled almost a thousand kilometers in a straight line.

They also encountered wild beasts and mutant beasts on the road, among which there was an A-level mutant beast, which was a huge horned eagle.

However, Qu Jianlei didn't fight, but just kept the opponent away. This process took him two days.

He doesn't consider the factor of mutant crystallization for the time being, the main reason is that the meat of the horned eagle cannot be eaten, and it is also difficult to fight.

He believes that there is no need to waste precious energy blocks here.

He is not sure how far he has to go to get out of the mountain, so he must save resources now.

In fact, half a month after entering the mountain, he stopped digging holes.

Digging holes consumes too much energy, and it is impossible for the flying mecha to go so far into the mountains.

That is to rush on the road during the day and choose a relatively safe place to rest on the spot at night.

At this time, Qu Jianlei was really grateful to Lie Feng.

If he hadn't inquired about the mecha, it would be really difficult to break through this endless mountain range.

Moreover, ordinary battle mechs may not be suitable for use, or the transport mech is the best.

At the beginning of a month, they encountered a strong cold wave.

The Endless Mountains in winter are already difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to walk after the cold wave, when the wind is harsh and the rocks are slippery.

Fortunately, it is a mecha. If it is a human, it can only choose a cave to hide.

After walking like this for a day, at night Qu Jianlei chose a sheltered place and released the flower scorpion.

He thought that he couldn't go on like this anymore, the energy blocks were consumed too quickly, and it was necessary to find a place to hide.

The flower scorpion's face is a bit ugly, because it means...they may not be able to get out of the endless mountains.

But Heitian's words were indeed reasonable, so she said: Choose a place with a water source to rest.

They have enough filters and papers, but it keeps recirculating...it feels really bad.

And many mountain springs in the endless mountains are not polluted and can be drunk.

Qu Jianlei also agreed with her suggestion, a mountain spring that can be drunk means that there may be animals drinking the water.

So their task the next day was not to hurry, but to find a reliable source of water.

After another two days, they finally selected a water source - there were still fish and shrimp frozen in the ice, and none of the fish and shrimp had mutated.

Nearby, they actually found a cave, in which lived a group of black-backed golden apes.

The battle broke out in an instant.

The black-backed golden ape's body is extremely hard and powerful, and it lives in groups. Among the C-level mutant beasts, it is the most difficult to mess with.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was alert enough, the left hand of the mech was a vehicle-mounted Gauss machine gun, and the right hand was a long knife.

The Ultra Frequency Oscillating Knife was just barely able to cut through the Golden Ape's fur.

This is due to the use of mechas. With the strength of ordinary people, even holding a long knife may not be able to break through the opponent's defense.

To really kill the golden ape, you have to rely on the on-board machine gun.

The effect of the electromagnetic gun is definitely better, but Qu Jianlei doesn't want to collapse the cave, and there are not many shells for the electromagnetic gun.

There were seventeen black-backed golden apes, big and small, and it took Qu Jianlei three hours to end the battle.

If they were not equipped with mechas, even if four or five of them were tied together, they would still have to be killed by the other party.

It doesn't matter that the long knife is completely damaged, and the machine gun has used more than 300 rounds of ammunition, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the inventory.

But the good thing is that the meat of the golden ape is edible, and it's not unpalatable.

Then he explored the cave again, only to find that the cave is 800 meters long and twists and turns.

What's even more amazing is that the deepest part of the cave is actually very warm, even hot.

Even Hua Xiezi was stunned, "What's going on?"

Qu Jianlei is not very clear, but he can give a rough guess, "It should be... geothermal?"

However, these two words really touched the blind spot of Hua Scorpion's knowledge, "What is geothermal?"
