Chapter 79 Domineering Claire
Seeing Qu Jianlei fire two more shots, Hua Xiezi turned his head and looked at Spencer again.
She spoke calmly, "You have a chance to reorganize your language."
The old man was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Sir, if I really had money to compensate you, why would I do such a dirty thing?"
Hua Scorpion said coldly, "In other words... you are useless?"
"It's useful, of course I'm useful!" Spencer replied without hesitation, "I'm very familiar with the settlement and nearby camps."
As a leader among adventurers, Hua Scorpion has no shortage of experience in dealing with these idle people.
She knows that even the most inconspicuous people are valuable - otherwise they wouldn't be able to do so many bad things.
So she was really not surprised by the man's answer. He just raised his chin slightly and said, "Wait there."
However, her attitude was a bit arrogant, which made a middle-aged woman uncomfortable.
She whispered softly, "Foreigners... do you want to be so ostentatious?"
The next moment, there was a flash of white light, and it was Hua Scorpion who pulled the trigger of the laser gun.
The woman's bun was instantly scattered, and her face turned pale for a moment.
Hua Scorpion said coldly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will definitely kill you with my next shot!"
She has always been cautious in doing things, but at this point, being cautious is not enough.
If Krishna wants to stay here forever, the first impression is very important. If you are seen as weak, things will happen one after another in the future.
They had no intention of establishing their authority, but before they even entered the camp, they were approached by someone who wanted to challenge them.
In the final analysis, it was the other party's trick to seek death. In this case, Hua Scorpion had no choice but to be tough. She had no choice.
The woman touched the hair on her head and wanted to say something, but even if she moved her mouth, she couldn't speak.
Two lines of tears flowed down unsatisfactorily, and she actually cried.
The onlookers also stopped talking, and there was silence all around. They really didn't expect that the outsiders who came this time were so ferocious.
Qu Jianlei's performance was amazing, but Hua Xiezi's reaction was not much different.
The accuracy of the laser gun is very high, but it can blow up your hair with just one shot. The feeling of the gun is not that good.
The most indispensable thing in the Zhouliu settlement area is hunters, and there are so many people with strong eyesight.
Although the foreigners who came here were only a small team of four, they had at least two top players.
The little girl in the passenger seat is probably a little worse, but who dares to bet that the driver is not a good driver?
The Honest Camp always likes to teach outsiders a lesson, but it is not that they have never encountered powerful thorns.
Most of the adventurers who come to Zhouliu come to gain wealth, and many of them are whimsical and overestimate their capabilities.
But there are also many people who are truly tyrannical.
The Honest Camp suffered the most severe defeat when a three-person team turned the entire camp upside down.
Two of the three ended up dead, but more than thirty people died in Honest Camp.
However, this was not the end yet. The next year, the man who escaped by chance recruited a dozen good men to attack Honest Camp again.
Fortunately, two medium-sized adventure groups temporarily stayed at the camp and helped withstand the attack.
After more than half of the attackers were killed or injured, they took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, but then put down their words: come back again!
The people in Honesty Camp couldn't stand it anymore. By checking the identity of the deceased, they finally found out who the thorny head was.
Then a big-shot figure came forward to speak out, and Honesty Camp lost a lot of money before the matter was finally revealed.
So seeing how strong Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi were, no one dared to attack them for a while.
Qu Jianlei ignored the group of people and waved to the shivering bandit, "Come here."
The robber was very discerning. After he came over, he picked up the silver coins scattered on the ground and handed them back, "Sir."
Qu Jianlei put away the silver coins and said, "You are very brave if you dare to steal from me."
The robber originally wanted to defend himself, but after moving his mouth, he finally sighed and said, "I'm blind."
Qu Jianlei is not good at socializing, and his speech is usually brief, "Do you know how much the things in my car are worth?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the bandits, many of the onlookers changed their faces: Showing off their wealth in a strange place?
Some people retreated silently, and couldn't help but blame themselves: I really have nothing to do, I have nothing to do to join in the fun!
It is certainly impossible for these four people to kill everyone, but what if they are just the vanguard?
The robber understood this better. After trembling twice, he replied in a low voice, "I just wanted to make something worthless."
This was true, but not entirely correct. Qu Jianlei had no interest in refuting him, so he glanced at Hua Xiezi and said, "You handle it."
Hua Scorpion's reaction was very direct, "I'll pay you, and I won't ask you for more, five hundred silver dollars."
The bandit's expression changed, and he smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, "Sir, I don't have that much on my body."
Hua Scorpion is not a talkative person, but the boss Krishna doesn’t like to take care of things, so she has to step in.
So she snorted coldly, "Do you think our cart of supplies is not worth five hundred silver dollars?"
Just looking at this full light truck, two top experts and fully armed, the supplies on the truck can be less than 500 silver dollars?
Even a fool wouldn't believe it, right?
The robber did not dare to argue and could only answer honestly, "Sir, it is whatever you say, I believe it."
"I believe..." Hua Scorpion looked at him up and down, "Since we can't pay back the money, which hand set the hook just now?"
The robber subconsciously hid his right hand behind his back, with a bitter look on his face, "Sir, please spare me this time... I am valuable."
Hua Scorpion looked at him indifferently, "Don't you even want your arm?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the bandit flashed a hint of cruelty in his eyes, "Okay, I'll give you an explanation!"
He directly pulled out the dagger with his left hand, slashed his right hand with the knife, and his index and middle fingers fell to the ground.
People cannot stand firm if they are not ruthless, and life in the wasteland emphasizes this point even more. Not only must you be ruthless to others, but you must also be willing to be ruthless to yourself.
Blood spurted out. He looked at Hua Scorpion with a pale face and asked tremblingly, "Sir, are you satisfied?"
"I'm not satisfied!" Hua Scorpion replied simply, "I want one of your hands. Who told you that two fingers are enough?"
"Besides, I want to do it myself, you do it yourself...who gave you the face?"
This is the true mentality of a strong person. I want to punish you... Who asked you to show your toughness?
The bandit's face turned pale and he swayed, "Sir, without my fingers, I won't be able to make a living in the future."
Hua Scorpion nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll cut off your companion's left hand and I'll let you go."
As she spoke, she pulled out the laser pistol and pointed it at the other person's forehead, "I'll count to three..."
The other party is not given any chance to refute at all, and there are only three numbers to choose - life or death?
The bandit has too much to say, such as emphasizing the friendship that should exist between companions.
But if there were only three numbers... He turned around and walked towards his partner, stepping on his left arm with one foot.
Bandang struggled desperately, but he lost too much blood and didn't have much strength.
The knife fell from his hand, and one palm fell off, blood splattered everywhere...
Loyalty and betrayal are really the eternal themes of the wasteland.
Hua Scorpion shook his hand and shot away the severed palm with one shot. Then he put away the laser pistol and said calmly, "Okay."
Then she waved to Spencer and said, "Take the dog and get in the car."
The authority has been established, but we absolutely cannot stay in this honest camp. We just need to take the old man and leave.
Spencer looked at her series of cold-blooded operations, how could he dare to say no? Climb into the car honestly.
However, even so, his old eyes were still looking around furtively.
However, although there were a lot of supplies on the car, they were all tied up very well, both for traveling long distances and to prevent others from taking advantage of the money.
Cindy's experience wasn't too bad. Without waiting for Hua Xiezi to say anything, she directly put the reverse gear on and started to reverse.
After traveling seven or eight hundred meters, she skillfully pointed the direction, and the off-road light truck turned around and sped away.
However, after driving for three or four kilometers, the speed gradually slowed down.
Then the car door opened, and a short and stocky figure climbed onto the manger along the pedals. It was Claire.
Girls from the wasteland are really not squeamish. No, she even has a face towel hanging on her face.
She quickly rolled into the bed of the car, looked at Spencer up and down, and then said in a rough voice, "Boss, can you give me this dog?"
Spencer bent his legs and knelt down directly, "Sir Adventurer, please forgive me, this is my job."
Although he knew that one of the two top masters was cold and the other ruthless, the one who was most difficult to serve now must be this little devil.
Adults always have basic logic when talking and doing things, but children... there is no reason to explain.
No, opening his mouth would take his life away, so he could only choose to be flexible.
"I want to order this snow mastiff!" Claire announced domineeringly - this is why her mother slowed down to let her get into the car.
The key is that this dog is so cute, it can touch porcelain, pretend to be dead, and pretend to be lame...
Spencer didn't dare to say anything, so he could only reply with a wry smile, "Then you might as well kill me."
"Then I'll kill you!" Claire frowned and pulled out the laser pistol from her waist... which Cindy had just given her.
Cindy's gun was given by Qu Jianlei. She lent it to her daughter temporarily because she didn't want her to kill people with a knife.
Using a knife to kill people, she was worried about not being good for her children's growth, and... it would also be easy for others to counterattack.
But it also shows from the side that she does not object to children killing people, even girls.
The wasteland is like this. Children with soft hearts will not grow up. Cindy didn't understand it before, but now she understands.
"Auntie, wait a minute," Spencer was frightened out of his mind, "Can't I sell it? I'll sell it?"
"You told me so earlier," Claire shook the pistol in her hand, "Is five silver dollars okay?"
"This is my first time to kill someone, and I don't want to kill an old guy who can't fight back."
I don’t want to be killed by you either! Spencer was really on the verge of tears.
He said bravely, "Xue'er is very smart...it's really more than five silver dollars."
"I don't care about that. I think it's worth five silver dollars, and that's all it's worth," Claire said confidently.
"You didn't consider our thoughts when you made it crash. So, why should I consider yours?"
——————
Chapter 80 The Evil Man’s Grinding
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this saying.
Spencer was at Honesty Camp, which was notorious for hob meat, and had nothing but a handful of years and a dog.
He is not afraid of being beaten when he touches porcelain. Anyway, there is a group of neighbors who support him, so long as others cannot get rid of his dog.
The result is good now. A child has announced that your dog belongs to me. If you don’t agree... I will kill you!
This is really not just talk, the children of the wasteland really dare to kill people.
So he said simply, "I really don't deserve to dirty your hands."
"Xue'er only listens to me. This kind of snow mastiff... will only be loyal to one person in its life. If you don't believe me, ask this gentleman."
He raised his hand and pointed at the flower scorpion, thinking that this person should know more about snow mastiffs.
However, it was very regrettable that Hua Xiezi looked at Qu Jianlei again - she really didn't understand the characteristics of the animals in the Zhouzi area.
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "That's true. If you kill the Snow Mastiff's owner in front of him, it will hate you forever."
Then he changed the topic, "So, you have to take him to a place where the snow mastiff can't see him first, and then kill him."
However, the snow mastiff was really not that smart, and he directly blocked Spencer with his body.
Even Claire could see that the puppy had understood everyone's conversation.
So it stood in front of its owner, and its attitude was very clear: If you want to kill him, please kill me first.
A smile finally appeared on Spencer's lips: Good Xue'er, my love for you is not in vain!
Claire is not as reasonable as adults, but she really likes this puppy.
She felt no pressure to kill the dog owner - the reason why she had to do it herself was because she was worried about others snatching her puppy.
But killing the puppy would be too cruel, so she yelled, "Mom~~~"
Cindy wasn't driving very fast and her windows were down, so she heard the sound.
She sighed inwardly, wouldn't it be enough to beat the disobedient pet to death?
But a daughter’s growth needs to be gradual and cannot be encouraged. “Ask the second sister.”
The boss is definitely Qu Jianlei, the second sister is of course Hua Xiezi, and the third sister is of course the "veteran driver" Cindy.
The fourth child is "Blood Shadow" Claire, who calls her mother Third Sister.
But that's how people are in the world. Isn't it normal for mothers and daughters to be like sisters? A lot of Blue Star’s online articles say that.
So she looked at Hua Xiezi and said, "Second sister...how can we do this?"
"Mom, second sister..." Spencer's eyes were a little wandering.
He has always been good at analyzing various relationships, which is also his way to save his life, but why can't he... understand this relationship?
Maybe that old driver is the mother of these three people?
But he didn't dwell too much on it. How many of his Jianghu identities could be real?
Just the Jianghu identity I heard today feels a bit unique.
When Hua Xiezi heard the word "Second Sister", warmth flashed through his eyes.
For adventurers, warmth is actually a luxury.
But women all have an innate maternal instinct, and... Cindy was introduced to the team by her.
So she looked at the old guy and said, "Find a little snowmastiff, it must be as good as yours... It's time to show your value."
Qu Jianlei frowned slightly. Is there another dog in his team?
Old Spencer didn't dare to take over everything, so he could only say vaguely, "I'll work hard, it will take some time."
He picked up this snow mastiff from the snow. It has a very ordinary bloodline, but it is really not ordinary smart, and it recognizes him.
Someone once paid eighty silver dollars to buy it. As a result, after it was bought, it did not eat or drink for five days.
The buyer later sent Cher back and declared the transaction void.
Spencer knew very well that if he wanted to buy a snow mastiff that was as smart as him, he would have to be lucky, but how could he dare to say so?
However, Claire snorted dissatisfiedly, "Forget it, no more... disappointing!"
That's how children are, she doesn't mind killing someone for the right thing, but if she has another option, she has no interest in it.
Then she looked at Hua Scorpion again and asked with interest.
"Second sister, you shot that hand in the end because you didn't want him to take it back again?"
"That's what I mean," Hua Scorpion nodded, "The severed palm was cut with a knife. The wound is smooth and easier to reattach."
She explained patiently, "Generally speaking, only settlements can connect to Broken Hand, but what if it happens?"
Claire nodded. She grew up in the settlement and knew about the surgery to connect the severed hand.
"If you try to connect a severed hand in a settlement, it may not be able to be done well. It mainly depends on the doctor's level... What do you think I'm going to do?"
Spencer was so frightened that he quickly handed over his hand, thinking that this person was actually from a settlement? "Sir Adventurer, you know so much."
Claire snorted coldly when she heard this, "None of your business!"
There are many members of the City Guard who perform various surgeries, but the other party's words reminded her of her late father.
Spencer was so frightened that he threw his hands away again, "Yes, it's none of my business, I won't say any more."
Claire asked again, "You handled those two thieves very neatly. Isn't this blackmailer... guilty of a serious crime?"
Hua Scorpion thought about it and decided to tell her some social knowledge.
"Extortion and theft are both crimes, no one is more serious."
"But today's thieves teamed up to steal, and even tried to shoot when they failed... This kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable."
During their discussion, a supply station appeared ahead.
The supply depot doesn't seem that exclusive, after all, it's open for business.
But seeing the large number of light trucks, the relevant people were a little jealous - the people in Zhouliu really didn't think highly of outsiders.
Spencer, a porcelain veteran, was spotted following the car...and even his dog.
So I couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you aiming for a big business? Do you want to help?"
They are not as unscrupulous as the Honesty Camp, but it is not that difficult to calculate people using relatively safe procedures.
Spencer didn't dare to make any mistakes again. He kept waving his hands, and then said seriously, "I'm helping to be a guide."
You heard me clearly, I have become a guide... This is indeed an outsider, but he is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
The people at the supply station suddenly had no other thoughts.
Qu Jianlei and others rested for one night at the supply station, and then spent two days and two nights arriving at the Zhouliu settlement.
There are many houses outside the settlement, almost 100,000, and they rented a small courtyard.
Then Cindy and Claire went to the city to go through the moving procedures, and each of them actually asked for forty silver dollars.
Claire's price was half price, but after spending sixty silver dollars, Cindy didn't have much money left.
However, Qu Jianlei gave her a hundred silver notes - this was regarded as helping everyone handle official business.
It was more convenient to live outside the city, and it was inconvenient for him and Hua Xiezi to enter the city, but if they had resident status, it would be convenient to purchase things.
He is not a stingy person. Since he can provide convenience to this group, of course he must keep the public account.
The outskirts of Zhou Liu's settlement are actually... quite exclusive, thanks to the fact that they brought Spencer here.
I don’t know how many bad things the old man has done in the past. Anyway, there are many people who know him, and they look at him in a weird way.
There was no fear in his eyes, but there was no enthusiasm either. At most, he looked like he was watching the excitement.
Someone even asked, half jokingly and half seriously, "Old Spencer, have you climbed onto a high tree?"
Spencer would always explain in a nonchalant manner, "Don't be kidding, I owe these guys money, and I will provide services to repay the debt."
When he said this, others could realize that this person was depressed, and when they looked at Qu Jianlei and others, there was fear in their eyes.
In this case, Qu Jianlei and the others also left a small house for Spencer to live in in the courtyard.
The house is really small, about five or six square meters, and it should be used to store firewood for the winter.
Spencer didn't dare to care about it and moved in with his snow mastiff, and he didn't dare to ask when he would be let go.
With the small courtyard she rented, Cindy began to make preparations for the winter, such as purchasing firewood and so on.
She knew that the team had prepared a large number of energy blocks, as well as energy block and oil dual-purpose generators.
But she believed that those were used at critical times. Since she bought the energy blocks at a low price, it would be good to earn the difference after selling them.
Qu Jianlei also knows that in the past two winters, his energy usage was inefficient and very wasteful.
However, that was the condition at that time, and there was really no choice. Now that Cindy is willing to worry about it, he is naturally happy to see it happen.
With the addition of the mother and daughter, at least this team is becoming more and more like that.
Qu Jianlei also contributed his own efforts to tidy up the yard and house to prepare for the coming winter.
Winter came faster than he thought. On the fifth day after renting the yard, the first snow fell in the Zhouliu settlement.
Counting the days, it’s not even mid-autumn yet, but winter is coming.
The next morning, after Qu Jianlei finished setting up a stake in the yard, he discussed with Hua Xiezi who had also finished setting up a stake.
Although the supplies were sufficient to last through the winter, he thought it was better to take care of the wild animals.
After all, if conditions permit, they will live here permanently. It is not good to sit back and have nothing.
The crux of the problem is that the place is "exclusive". They are new here, so it will definitely be troublesome to find people to form a team.
Old Spencer may know some relatively reliable teams, but this guy's status among adventurers is also very low.
Moreover, both Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezi thought that this guy was really not a good bird.
You can safely let him handle small things like renting a house and buying firewood, but going out hunting can really lead to death.
Qu Jianlei asked Hua Xiezi: If we team up...or add Cindy, will a team of three be enough for hunting?
Hua Scorpion thought about it, but replied seriously: That would be too risky.
And it can be like this this year, but it can’t be like this every year, right? Ultimately, you have to reach out to the locals.
She volunteered and said that I could go inquire about the situation and see if I could find a relatively reliable team.
After thinking about it, Qu Jianlei still felt that it was a bit difficult. The key was that Hua Xiezi, like him, had just come from Hongzi.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Claire walked in with the snow mastiff and Spencer.
She shouted excitedly, "Boss, I'll help you find a good deal!"
