Chapter 151: Chapter 112: Human Life Is Cheap, Courtyards Are Valuable

Clearly, the machine cannon was slow to aim, and the opponents were reluctant to waste ammunition, so they started by firing the vehicle-mounted machine gun.

In the past six months, Qu Jianlei had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he could advance to the seventh at any moment.

However, he had other plans, so recently, he had been focused on improving his physical qualities.

He chose the armor-piercing round, grabbed the machine cannon, and took just two seconds to aim at the armored vehicle.

During this time, two other Gauss Machine Guns also fired, hitting the heavy truck’s armor with clattering noises.

”Damn,” someone couldn’t help but curse, ”With armor like this on a heavy truck, it’s just overkill, isn’t it?”

The next moment, the heavy truck’s machine cannon roared with a three-round burst.

Of the three shells, only one missed, and two armor-piercing rounds directly set the armored vehicle ablaze.

”It’s actually thickened armor?” Qu Jianlei was a bit surprised, then quickly switched to high-explosive bombs.

The other three vehicles were dumbfounded, ”Hell... he’s that accurate?”

The three vehicles tried to escape, but it was too late; Qu Jianlei, with astonishing speed, executed three consecutive three-round bursts, blowing up the three vehicles.

He then aimed at the burning armored vehicle, ”Should we capture it?”

A silhouette engulfed in flames scrambled out.

”No!” Bentley promptly replied, ”I’ll stop abruptly; blast the armored vehicle and leave.”

Then he slammed on the brakes, and Qu Jianlei fired a shot that exploded the armored vehicle, and the heavy truck dashed away.

When he returned to the driver’s seat, Flower Scorpion asked, ”Is the order in the Celestial District that terrible?”

”I never said the order in the Celestial District was good,” Bentley replied bluntly, refusing to take the blame.

He adamantly questioned back, ”Why would you think the order is good when all the capable folks flock here?”

Flower Scorpion was speechless momentarily, then asked again after a pause, ”Is the order in the Settlement good, but worse outside?”

”That’s basically correct,” Bentley nodded, ”But inside the Settlement... there’s quite a lot of large factions.”

That was undoubtedly true, but Qu Jianlei narrowed his eyes menacingly and spoke.

”Ultimately, they’ve been weeded out by Central City, isn’t that right?”

After enduring the relentless pursuit by the Sai Family, he was now extremely sensitive to the term ”large factions.”

Bentley faltered initially, then subtly nodded, ”That’s not wrong, but some are sent by Central City.”

Flower Scorpion sensed the boss might lose control again and quickly asked, ”Are these ordinary bandits?”

”Maybe yes, maybe no,” Bentley replied calmly, ”Some bandits indeed have that much strength.”

”Still, we can’t rule out the possibility of them colluding with checkpoint personnel; we do have quite a bit of cargo.”

”Bloody hell...” Flower Scorpion was initially trying to divert attention, but hearing this, she couldn’t help but curse.

”In case they ambush the poor, they could barely cover the cost of ammunition.”

”Is this something to get mad about?” Bentley was a bit helpless, ”They profit if they cover ammunition costs, so they mainly target heavy trucks.”

”Human life isn’t worth much,” Qu Jianlei remarked indifferently, ”My first half crystal was from someone who tried to shoot me down.”

Flower Scorpion, seeing him back to normal, felt relieved, ”Do the checkpoint people truly dare to collude with bandits?”

”Why wouldn’t they?” Bentley answered casually, his tone very cold.

”The more cautious ones just sell intel, earning info fees... I’ve even met those who acted personally.”

Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, ”Does Central City do that too?”

”Of course not,” Bentley’s tone carried a hint of pride, ”It’s the most orderly place, just like before the apocalypse.”

Flower Scorpion slipped up and retorted, ”Yet you were replaced there, and you still speak well of them?”

”That’s... different,” Bentley’s mouth twitched involuntarily; she really knew how to hit where it hurt!

He paused, then answered slowly, ”In any society, strong-arm tactics objectively exist.”

”Getting replaced had nothing to do with order, but with privilege... In essence, what I obtained was too precious.”

Flower Scorpion noticed his mood drop and quickly apologized, ”Sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

”No big deal,” Bentley uttered three words, then stopped talking, and the vehicle cabin fell silent.

The territory of the Celestial Residence Area was sizable, but they chose wisely for entry points, taking only fifteen days to reach Houjing.

However, this is mainly related to the roads, as there are many roads in the Celestial District.

Although most roads are dirt, and even gravel roads are rare, having a road and not having one makes a significant difference.

That afternoon, upon seeing Houjing City from afar, Flower Scorpion exclaimed, ”Houjing’s Gathering Area... it doesn’t have walls?”

”Central City doesn’t have walls either,” Bentley replied casually, ”One Capital and Four Capitals are merely mimicking Central City.”

Despite his insipid tone, he couldn’t help but glance at Qu Jianlei — would you be surprised by this?

Qu Jianlei was hardly surprised; cities with walls on Blue Star... those are merely scenic spots!

What a nonchalant attitude! Bentley sighed inwardly; this guy’s background is truly extraordinary.

Though Houjing lacks walls, it does have checkpoints; two checkpoints separate the outer area, suburbs, and city.

Bentley suggested settling in the suburbs because the outer area’s standard is too low.

Wanting to reside within the city would mean a lot of the heavy truck’s weapons were above limits, and the ammunition was excessive.

Such matters involving the Settlement’s order were sensitive, and finding reliable channels was not easy, even if one was willing to spend money.
