Qu Jianlei glanced coldly over, and upon seeing him masked and armed, the other party left without a word. The next morning, after the four of them finished eating, they arrived by the cold storage. Already seven or eight people were waiting there. After examining the Wolf King’s corpse, they began bidding. The base price Flower Scorpion quoted was twelve thousand—anything below this number, she would rather see it unsold. Initially, the scene was a bit cold; the price was honestly a bit high. But in the end, someone did raise the price, but he made a request to also buy the knife that killed the Wolf King. Alternatively, he offered to exchange it with a similar knife. As soon as this proposal was made, the price skyrocketed, ultimately selling for a high price of eighteen thousand. However, the actual receipt wasn’t eighteen thousand; the Settlement had to take a ten percent tax, and some brokerage fees had to go to the agent. That’s exactly why Flower Scorpion had set the base price at twelve thousand. In any case, actually receiving sixteen thousand wasn’t bad; selling luxury goods really needs a big place. Then everyone went again to the Energy Block Store, where Qu Jianlei bought 180 Energy Blocks, spending nearly twenty thousand. The remaining Silver Notes were less than seven thousand, and then it was time to procure various supplies—inclusive of a three-wheeler. Food, water, ammunition, and fuel all needed replenishment, a water purifier needed buying, and Qu Jianlei even replaced some guns. By the time the purchasing was done, only less than two thousand Silver Notes were left. The light truck was basically stuffed full, and then Cindy and her daughter went again to handle the moving procedures. Claire already had an Overclocked Oscillating Short Dagger on her waist, which she had pleaded her mother to buy. This time the staff didn’t hesitate, confirmed their decision to leave, collected seven and a half silver coins, and issued the certificate. The vehicle drove out from Zhou Three once again and went to Cindy’s rented small room, loading the few personal belongings of the mother and daughter into the car. The packed light truck still drew quite a bit of attention, as some people knew there were quite a few Energy Blocks on board. But those who knew the latter also knew how tough Qu Jianlei was to deal with. Slaying the Wolf King was secondary! He could fight to the death surrounded by a pack of wolves and unhesitatingly slay a teammate—now that’s truly ruthless. In fact, the one-eyed man he killed was also notoriously tough in the Zhou San Residence Area. Someone who dares to snatch others’ ammo in battle surely isn’t a good sort, is he? At that time, the one-eyed man had two companions present, and neither dared to intervene. Therefore, Qu Jianlei’s reputation wasn’t just due to his strength but also his terrifying disregard for life when enraged! The same loaded truck that left the Hongwu Settlement last year was frantically pursued by multiple forces. But now that he left Zhou Three, very few dared to glance at him. Qu Jianlei didn’t let his guard down but instead stood with Flower Scorpion in the truck bed, scanning the surroundings as they slowly departed. Claire also wanted to stand in the truck bed but was held down by Cindy in the passenger seat, "Fasten your seatbelt." Once on the outer road, Flower Scorpion asked Qu Jianlei, "Still headed to a Settlement with better order?" Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "Ask Cindy about her impression of the Zhou Six Residence Area." Flower Scorpion picked up the newly purchased handset and made a call. Cindy, who was driving, looked somewhat puzzled, now having left Zhou Three, she wasn’t sure which way to head next. After receiving the call, she slowed down, rolled down the window, and leaned out, "Zhou Six... it’s quite prosperous there." The Zhou Six Residence Area is large in scope, with many hunting grounds around and plenty of trade. Qu Jianlei had spent half the night reading, much of which was only available to legitimate residents, gaining some insight into the Zhou Character Residence Area. So he asked gravely, "My impression... should the order be fine there?" At least that’s what the books indicated, that the order in the Zhou Six Residence Area was decent, and he believed that a prosperous place shouldn’t have poor order. "The order there..." Cindy showed a peculiar expression, hesitated a moment, then said, "It’s somewhat hostile to outsiders." "Hostile..." Qu Jianlei hesitated a little. He was attracted to the hunting grounds there, and the order seemed decent. "Guarding such a prime location, it’s understandable if they resist outsiders." Flower Scorpion was about to say something but shut her mouth upon hearing him say this. Cindy thought for a moment, then nodded, "With Panda’s capability, you don’t really need to worry about that." Qu Jianlei blinked, feeling she had more to say but left it unsaid. However, he thought, Zhou Six was indeed suitable for him, allowing for hunting to earn money and access to many supplies. If he could survive for a few years, once his Cultivation Level advanced, he could start planning revenge. Unexpectedly, on his first day in Zhou Six, he encountered what it meant to be unwelcoming. Chapter 78: Is this it? (Silver Celebration for Panda Brother 5/5) The distance from Zhou Three to Zhou Six was quite far, about three thousand kilometers. The four of them spent nearly twenty days on the road, truly witnessing what it meant to have plenty of prey. It was late summer, early autumn, but the wasteland was already quite cold, with nighttime temperatures often dropping below zero. Numerous animals roamed the wasteland; initially, Flower Scorpion occasionally hunted one to improve their meals. But later, they found that while there was plenty of prey, many were inedible, and quite a few actively charged at them.
