Quan Yuxun knew that formal snipers in the military not only took a long time to aim before firing, but also needed at least two people for support.
Such as spotters and logistics personnel.
But both times he saw Xia Chujian fire, it was casually, and the hit rate was surprisingly high.
Although sniper rifles themselves had a very high hit rate, it relied on various high-energy devices on the sniper rifle.
The high-precision aiming system, equipped with a certain amount of mechanical intelligence, could independently calculate the optimal ballistic curve based on temperature, humidity, wind force, and the local gravity system, and then cooperate with the sniper rifle's own mechanical intelligence, controlled by the sniper.
But Xia Chujian's firing speed wasn't even enough for the sniper rifle's intelligent system to finish calculating.
Xia Chujian patted the Large Sniper Rifle and said with a half-smile, "If there's enough time, of course I'll use all the conditions to perform complex ballistic calculations, and deliver a fatal blow."
"But if time is critical, I only seek speed, and can't bother with so many calculations. But the effect is also good. Ultimately, it's because I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, so I've developed a good Gunmanship."
Quan Yuxun felt that Xia Chujian's words were not entirely true, but he greatly appreciated her saying that she was "greedy for life and afraid of death."
He said, "The desire for life is indeed the ladder of human progress. Your desire for life shows that you are an excellent Hunter. But as a bodyguard..."
Xia Chujian knew what he was going to say, interrupted him, and said with a smile, "You get what you pay for. As a bodyguard, I will definitely be worth the fee you pay."
The implication was that if you didn't pay a fee worth her risking her life for, don't blame her for abandoning her employer and fleeing for her life in a critical moment.
Xia Chujian looked at the darkness ahead and said with a smile, "My life is very expensive."
Although life was as cheap as dirt, she still regarded it as a treasure.
Why not cherish your own life?
This is the greatest wealth we have!
Quan Yuxun smiled without saying a word, calmly put on his night suit, put on his helmet, and the goggles with far-infrared night vision system, and opened the hatch of the Flying Vehicle.
The extremely cold air outside immediately stabbed in like ice knives.
The temperature inside the Flying Vehicle dropped sharply.
Xia Chujian was wearing a lot of clothes and didn't feel that cold.
Moreover, her tactical gloves, which could cover half of her hand, also had a self-heating device. Only the fingers holding the trigger were without any protection, directly in intimate contact with the trigger.
But the long sleeves of the night suit covered her entire hand, so it wasn't cold at all.
Before she went out of the Flying Vehicle, she silently turned on the pinhole camera hidden on the neck collar of the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.
...
Quan Yuxun, holding a Submachine Gun, walked side by side with her towards the high wall surrounding Wuyou Alley.
Xia Chujian thought of the smart machine guns on the high wall watchtowers, felt a little scared, and whispered to Quan Yuxun, "Chief Quan..."
"Call me Qilin," Quan Yuxun said lightly, "That's my alias."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Was this the origin of everyone saying he was the Quan Family's Qilin Child?
Or was it because he was a Qilin Child that he was given the nickname Qilin?
Xia Chujian followed suit, "Then you can call me Youqian." (Youqian literally means have money)
Quan Yuxun: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched, "I'll call you Yuanbao. Yuanbao is also money, it's better than Youqian."
The name Youqian was too... alternative, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Xia Chujian didn't think so, "...It's just a code name, Yuanbao it is."
"By the way, you haven't said how you plan to deal with those smart machine guns? You don't want me to use a sniper rifle to take them out, do you? That's impossible. Because my sniper rifle can destroy at most one smart machine gun with one shot. And as soon as I destroy one, all the other smart machine guns will unite and use powerful firepower to cover the direction from which the trajectory flies."
"You and I, as ordinary people, don't have the speed to dodge the all-round firepower coverage of so many smart machine guns."
Xia Chujian said realistically.
Quan Yuxun glanced at her and said with a smile, "You analyzed it very well, so we won't use this method."
Saying that, he slowly took out something like a remote control from his pocket and pressed it in the direction of those high wall sentry towers.
In the darkness, a red dot on the remote control flashed, then disappeared back into the darkness.
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
"...You got the remote control device for those smart machine guns?!"
Quan Yuxun smiled and nodded: "Yes, this method is more suitable for me."
"...How did you get the remote control device? Will anyone find out?" Xia Chujian still couldn't believe it.
She didn't expect the biggest problem to be solved so easily.
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "...With my money power."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She was very sure that Quan Yuxun was not talking about "superpower", because she had heard that Quan Yuxun was not a Gene Evolver, and it was impossible to evolve a higher level of superpower.
Sure enough, Quan Yuxun continued, "The 'money' as in money."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She was utterly convinced.
This was also the "superpower" she yearned for the most.
After Quan Yuxun surveyed the area during the day, he obtained the remote control device through an intermediary, just in time to disable the automatic control system of those smart machine guns.
He took a step to walk straight in, but Xia Chujian grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute."
Then she pushed Quan Yuxun away, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard.
Then she quickly ran in the other direction, lest the remote control disabling measures had failed, and they would still be suppressed by the smart machine guns.
As a result, she waited for five minutes, and the small stone had been thrown over the high wall and fell into Wuyou Alley, but those smart machine guns still did not react.
Xia Chujian gestured to Quan Yuxun, indicating that the alarm was lifted and they could go in.
Quan Yuxun tilted his head to look at her: "You don't trust me?"
"It's not that I don't trust you, even if I got the remote control device myself, I would test it before going in. - It's common sense." Xia Chujian was a cautious and proper person.
Quan Yuxun nodded, "Let's go, Master Yuanbao."
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue and followed Quan Yuxun, walking together towards the small stone doorway under the high wall, which was only enough for one person to pass through.
Xia Chujian had lived in the South District since she was a child, and only moved away when she was five or six years old, but she had never been to this place.
This 404 District Wuyou Alley, even in the South District, was a taboo existence for some fearless Humanoids.
Xia Chujian said in a low voice: "When I was a child, my family didn't allow me to come here, saying that the Humanoids here are different from the Humanoids elsewhere. The Humanoids here are irrational, impulsive and irritable, they kill people when they say they will, and after killing... In short, the humans or Humanoids who die here never have their remains found."
Quan Yuxun said calmly: "...Did your aunt tell you that?"
Xia Chujian only had one family member from childhood to adulthood, her aunt Xia Yuanfang.
Quan Yuxun had known this as early as when he conducted a background check on Xia Chujian.
He even knew some content that even Xia Chujian didn't know, but he had no way of knowing the trivial matters during their life together.
Quan Yuxun listened very carefully.
He really lacked understanding of this place.
However, no matter how much psychological preparation they made, after they walked in, they did not expect the scene inside to be like this.
Outside the high wall, it was clearly freezing cold, and it had just snowed heavily.
Although some of the heavy snow had melted, the remaining amount of snow was still considerable.
But inside the high wall, there was not a trace of heavy snow to be seen.
It wasn't even the scene after the heavy snow had completely melted.
The temperature here was much higher than outside the wall.
Outside the high wall, it was already minus eighty degrees.
Inside the high walls, the temperature was at least a dozen degrees above zero.
A temperature difference of ninety to a hundred degrees on either side of a wall?!
Xia Chujian was wearing so many clothes and three layers of helmets, but as soon as she walked in, she immediately felt sweat breaking out all over her body.
She said in surprise, "What's going on here? Why is it so hot? — This is unscientific."
Quan Yuxun said calmly, "It's not unscientific. Since this phenomenon exists, there must be a reason we don't know."
"What reason?"
"High temperature, of course, is because there is a heat source. — We just don't know where the heat source is."
They didn't immediately walk into the alley, but stood cautiously at the entrance, carefully observing the situation here.
Tonight was a full moon, and the moonlight was bright, but the moonlight here seemed particularly bright.
It enveloped the entire Wuyou Alley in a dreamlike, almost tangible, silver glow.
But under this pure silver moonlight, the buildings here showed a strange cyan-black color.
All the houses in the alley were strangely shaped, none of them properly built, like a chaotic pile of various building materials that had been squeezed hard, turning them into residences.
The windows, needless to say, had no glass, not even any coverings.
They looked like black holes, or monsters with gaping mouths, just waiting for someone to obediently walk into their mouths and let them feed.
The entire alley was like solidified amber, sealing off all life and vitality.
There were no extra figures, no extra sounds, and no imminent danger was apparent.
Xia Chujian and Quan Yuxun walked in silently, walking on the only cement road in the alley.
On both sides of the dilapidated cement road were abandoned vehicles and collapsed buildings.
Some of the burned-down houses had only charred broken walls and ruins, indicating that there had been a fire here.
A billboard had fallen from a collapsed high-rise building, and the advertising slogans on it were already blurred.
There were also some shopping malls and supermarkets by the roadside, with shattered glass doors. Without going inside, one could imagine the apocalyptic scene of being looted.
Further in, they finally reached the end of the alley.
It was a relatively open space, covered with weeds.
Xia Chujian was secretly shocked.
On one side of the wall, it was a world of ice and snow, with temperatures as low as seventy or eighty degrees below zero.
Yet there was still grass here...
It was clear that the high temperature here was not recent, but had been around for some time.
At the end of the alley, a damaged black sculpture stood in the center of the weedy area.
