Chapter 89: Ultimate Battle Soldier (First update celebrating Gold Mengbangzi Brother 5/10)
The light in the snow wasn’t actually too bad, but Flower Scorpion still hoped to wait until dawn.
Mainly, no one expected to encounter three adult Snow Concealment Leopards all of a sudden.
Dealing with two adult leopards wasn’t difficult, two big ones with two small ones weren’t a problem either, but three adult leopards were a challenge.
"Wait until dawn?" Qu Jianlei muttered softly, then nodded slightly, "Let’s wait first."
The two of them entered the cave, took out thick clothing, and put on a white camouflage net.
Cindy, on the other hand, pulled out a single soldier machine gun—with her shooting skills, she could only provide suppressive fire.
Then she retreated back into the cave to await orders, while Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion lay quietly in the snow.
Waiting for dawn wasn’t purely passive waiting; during this process, if any opportunity arose, the two would act decisively.
Qu Jianlei’s patience was elastic; sometimes it was poor, but in this situation, he could endure.
As for Flower Scorpion, she had been a sniper and was professionally trained, her patience even stronger.
Time ticked by, and just as dawn was approaching, the sound of a motor suddenly came from another direction.
Flower Scorpion remained unmoved, still watching the three Snow Concealment Leopards, while Qu Jianlei glanced over curiously.
Then he frowned slightly, "A snowmobile...who’s crazy enough to do this?"
The Zhou Six Residence Area had vehicles specialized for snow, but they were rare, mainly because they could only be used for a maximum of half a year each year.
Moreover, snow-specialized vehicles were heavily influenced by terrain and couldn’t be used in snow-free areas.
So on large snowy plains, snow vehicles were used for cargo transport to save costs, but not much else.
The transport capacity of snowmobiles was weak, their protection poor, and they were not suitable for hunting grounds.
Yet now, it was nighttime, and someone was actually rushing on a snowmobile. Qu Jianlei asked himself, he wasn’t crazy to this extent.
On the snowmobile sat two people, wearing helmets and thick clothing.
Flower Scorpion gasped softly, "Oh no, the Snow Concealment Leopards have been startled."
The Snow Concealment Leopards weren’t very large, about three meters long and weighing around seven to eight hundred kilograms.
But as A-level mutant beasts, they were top predators, daring to face anything they encountered.
So these three Snow Concealment Leopards did not flee but instead concealed their presence, watching cautiously.
However, in the next moment, the two people on the vehicle discovered the Snow Concealment Leopards somehow.
The snowmobile turned its head and charged straight towards the three leopards.
"Damn," Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but exclaim, "Are these two seeking death?"
If it were him, he’d never have the guts to charge three A-level mutant beasts directly.
Flower Scorpion, always observing the Snow Concealment Leopards with her night vision device, had limited vision and wasn’t clear about the snowmobile’s movements.
But she also exclaimed, "Oh, these three Snow Concealment Leopards... seem to be preparing to attack!"
Just as she finished her sentence, a motorcyclist freed a hand, reaching to his waist to pull out an oddly shaped handgun.
He raised his hand and fired a shot, a white flash, and a Snow Concealment Leopard that was just about to leap was instantly shot and flew aside.
"What kind of gun is this?" Qu Jianlei watched, dumbfounded, that a single shot could send a seven- to eight-hundred-kilogram Snow Concealment Leopard flying?
Not only was it hit, but the leopard rolled on the ground twice and didn’t get up immediately.
"They’ve rushed!" Flower Scorpion’s voice rose a bit, unable to help it, she was too surprised.
The next moment, Qu Jianlei also saw it, two silhouettes lunged forward at an incredible speed.
The motorcyclist quickly made a sharp turn, and the person on the back seat jumped off the bike, flying into the air.
"What the..." Qu Jianlei was dumbfounded, were there other cultivators on the Wasteland?
The person in the air raised his right hand and made a vague pressing motion forward, who knew what he was doing.
"Damn," Flower Scorpion was too shocked, "Two Snow Concealment Leopards... actually fell!"
What Qu Jianlei saw was the motorcyclist raising the gun and firing two more shots.
The two Snow Concealment Leopards were both hit, rolling several times on the ground.
The first leopard that had been shot was struggling to get up, but after several attempts, it couldn’t succeed.
Qu Jianlei finally realized, "Isn’t this the legendary... hand cannon?" Follow current novels on ⓝovelFire.net
"What hand cannon?" Flower Scorpion finally turned her gaze over, then froze, "Wow, one shot each?"
"I feel like it’s a laser hand cannon," Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Do these pre-apocalyptic weapons really still exist?"
"Laser hand cannon..." Flower Scorpion was speechless, "I’ve heard there’s a small number still around."
This type of weapon was not only rare and expensive, but also costly to use.
One energy block could only unleash about thirty to fifty attacks, and it consumed the cannon barrel quickly, with limited uses.
In other words, just in terms of energy, each shot was worth about three silver coins, not even considering durability.
But what shocked Flower Scorpion the most was, "What kind of power is behind this?"
Then she thoughtfully looked at Qu Jianlei, "Are they like you?"
I wish I knew! Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly.
But as an outsider soul, he cautiously stated, "Let’s keep watching."
The man from the back of the motorcycle drew a knife and moved forward to finish off the Snow Concealment Leopards one by one.
Then the motorcyclist drove the snowmobile over, dragging the bodies of the Snow Concealment Leopards onto the sled behind.
