Hua Scorpion was immediately speechless. Although the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves are indeed necessary, your sense of security is too poor.

She asked aloud, "How many secret camps will be built and how much supplies will be distributed?"

"Half supplies, four or five secret camps," Qu Jianlei answered calmly, "We must learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Hua Scorpion nodded and left, then turned back sharply, "Are you worried about those two people?"

If you give me enough time, I can be stronger than those two! Qu Jianlei curled his lips in disapproval.

But since he couldn't do it now, there was no need to say it. He answered seriously, "Actually, I also want to have direct contact with them."

"I understand," Hua Scorpion nodded slightly, thinking who wouldn't want to have direct contact with them?

In the next few days, the two drove out with supplies and built five secret camps.

In fact, it just buries some supplies and has just enough space to hide, so comfort is out of the question.

Qu Jianlei believes that when it comes time to use these supplies, there is no need to consider comfort.

After the construction of the five camps was completed, we were going back in a circle. Unexpectedly, we encountered a lone big-horned snow deer on the way.

The two of them got rid of it easily, and the deer was able to pick out at least three to four hundred kilograms of meat.

Hua Scorpion finally muttered, "After all, the trip was not in vain. After spreading so much, I gained something."

Qu Jianlei looked in the direction of the settlement and spoke leisurely, "Have you harvested it... Soon we will not be short."

Chapter 92: Strike first (fourth update)

After Qu Jianlei returned to the yard, he said he would close the door to study mechanical maintenance techniques, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Cindy, Claire and Spencer didn't care - with Boss Panda's maintenance skills, it was normal to close the door and ponder things.

Their thoughts were focused on the big-horned snow deer. They hadn't seen such delicious meat for a long time.

Cindy even suggested selling most of the venison in exchange for more economical food...

Qu Jianlei quietly left the courtyard late at night on the day of retreat, carrying a huge backpack.

Hua Xiezi was the only one who knew about it. Looking at the disappearing figure, she secretly clenched her fists.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone enter your room!"

However, things were just like that. On the afternoon of the third day, Geng Shougong came to see Qu Jianlei.

This time it was a big deal. There was something wrong with the heating in the settlement recently. It may be that some equipment was damaged.

In previous years, when this happened, they had to turn off the heating for inspection and repair.

This will bring huge inconvenience to the residents in the settlement, and the cost is also very high.

This year there is such a maintenance expert whose ears are comparable to those of sonic flaw detectors, so of course we have to ask him to take action.

Hua Xiezi said succinctly, "I'm sorry, the boss is studying mechanical problems in seclusion."

Geng Shougong couldn't stand it anymore, "You can't just watch the heating in the settlement stop, right?"

But Hua Xiezi refused to give in, "You have so many maintenance technicians, but without me as the boss, how could you survive before?"

Isn't this an attempt to save money? Geng Shougong was also a little speechless, "The testing fee starts at one thousand silver dollars, please tell Panda."

He knows that pandas can make money, but spending money is even more important and takes money very seriously.

Hua Xiezi smiled coldly, "Is it Zhou Liu's banknote?"

Geng Shougong was immediately speechless. Last time, he was very unhappy with this woman because of the banknote incident.

But how could the large-scale equipment used by the settlement itself not use its own banknotes?

If it's twenty or thirty silver dollars, then it doesn't matter if he gives the silver dollars directly, but if it's thousands of silver dollars, why not give him a banknote?

Hua Scorpion understood as soon as he saw his face, "So you have no sincerity."

"This is a settlement matter. If we don't give local banknotes, why should we give them?" Geng Shougong was annoyed.

"Even if you think there is a discount, it is different if you give more money? Didn't he also accept the job a while ago?"

"They gave me silver dollars," Hua Xiezi shook his head, "Don't say anything, I don't dare to disturb him when he is thinking about something."

"This is a major event for the entire settlement," Geng Shougong said seriously, "I have been giving him books to read."

Hua Xiezi looked at him silently for a while, and then asked leisurely, "Are you forcing him so much that you don't worry about any problems with the test?"

Geng Shougong was immediately speechless. Maintenance masters are respected not only because of their skills, but also...it's really not difficult to do anything.

Just like no one dares to offend a criminal doctor casually, although the treatment of a maintenance master is not as good as that of a famous doctor, the situation is very similar.

You really dare to say it, he sighed, "Then when will his research end?"

"How do I know this?" Flower Scorpion replied casually, "I hope it won't end in winter."

Hearing this, Geng Shougong could only do the next best thing, "He always comes out to relax, right? Remember to tell him."

"I know this," Hua Xiezi nodded and replied vaguely, "The boss may not be able to help."

Then she emphasized one more point, "But if you ask him to take action, it's best to use energy block banknotes. This is my well-intentioned suggestion."

"How is that possible?" Geng Shougong was very persistent on this point, "This is an internal matter within the Zhouliu settlement."

"Exactly," Hua Xiezi smiled disdainfully, "Geothermal resources are not only used by Zhou Liu."

When Geng Shougong heard this, he was instantly shocked, "Geothermal... Do you know geothermal?"

"Is this great news?" Hua Xiezi asked disapprovingly, but in his heart he was secretly grateful for the knowledge Hei Tian imparted.

"No wonder," Geng Shougong's eyes were a little dazed, and he muttered in a low voice, "I knew you were not ordinary people."

The settlement mainly utilizes geothermal resources, which is something that ordinary residents are unlikely to know.

Hua Scorpion looked at him indifferently, "You don't really think that we are wild survivors, do you?"

"This is impossible," Geng Shougong was sure of this. Just looking at Panda's mechanical maintenance skills, he knew it definitely had its origins.

In addition, he even knew the news about the geothermal heat, and the background of the other party might be beyond his imagination.

As for why people live outside the city, he doesn't intend to ask - who doesn't have some secrets?

Hua Xiezi nodded slightly, "So, I can help you pass the message, but the payment method... you should seriously consider it."

When Geng Shougong left, he looked confused.

Claire looked very interested, "Second sister, how long do you plan to study for? There are still some good jobs recently."

Hua Scorpion rolled his eyes at her and said, "Go ahead and eat your venison. No matter how much you ask, the venison will be gone."

Although Claire is rebellious, she is a real foodie - children from the wasteland are actually quite edible.

She turned around and ran away, muttering, "I was also wondering if the boss would like to eat something hot."

It is not easy to retreat in the wasteland. Many people cannot understand the concept of retreat. Daily eating, drinking and diarrhea are also problems.

Qu Jianlei had fully considered this when he pretended to be in seclusion, so he brought a lot of meat floss and water into the room.

Warm? Hua Xiezi smiled indifferently and muttered softly, "I don't know how he is now..."

Qu Jianlei's current condition is really not bad. He got a snowmobile.

It was a coincidence that he knew that the Black Wind gang's current lair was in a wild camp three hundred kilometers away.

He was carrying a huge backpack, and originally wanted to touch the door directly and catch the other person off guard.

It's only three hundred kilometers... It's quite a challenge. It can't be done in a day, especially in this ice and snow.

If Qu Jianlei's potential was fully utilized, he could basically reach the past within a day, but if he really tried to do that, he would be useless when he arrived.

Considering that there were still many uncertainties on the road, he decided to walk for four to five days - preferably without meeting anyone.

On the first and second days, his operation was fine. He encountered several groups of people along the way, but he avoided them all early.

Something happened on the third day. The reason was that we encountered a nest of blue-eyed snowshoe rabbits.

Snowshoe hares are actually very ordinary weak beasts with not much meat, so there is basically no need to hunt them.

But the blue-eyed snow rabbit is a mutant. Although it is not yet C-level, it is a mutant beast after all. The key is that it can still be eaten.

Of course, Qu Jianlei picked up the nest of snow rabbits and killed two with a knife and three with a laser pistol.

It's not that he can't outrun the snowshoe hare, it's just that... it's too difficult to chase the snowshoe hare while running. Many times, the chased snowshoe hare is exhausted.

So it is better to use a laser gun to kill the snow rabbit, and the energy consumption is not huge.

After killing the snowshoe rabbit, there is always something to eat, right? He found a safe depression and set up a barbecue grill.

The fire was a dark fire, so he brought charcoal and roasted it for an hour. When it was almost done, a snowmobile drove over.

There were two people on the motorcycle. Next to the snowmobile, there was a snow mastiff running behind it, which was half a meter longer than Xue'er.

When Qu Jianlei discovered the snowmobile, he was very surprised - he was already a little worried about it.

When he found out that it was not those two people, his vigilance did not relax much.

Since the user is using a snowmobile, it means he is someone nearby. I hope the other person will not open his eyes...
