Chapter 99 - 99 Invincible
99 Invincible
Du Yue followed closely behind. She aimed and pulled the trigger in one go. After the last shooting practice, Du Yue had not touched a gun for a while. In the beginning, she was a little rusty, and she missed a few shots. However, Du Yue was not affected by these mistakes at all.
On the fourth shot, Du Yue hit a wolf in the back. The power of the shot was so great that the wolf immediately tilted and fell into the snow. It was motionless.
He Xing was a much more accurate marksman than Du Yue. Every shot he took was a headshot, and not a single bullet was wasted. Even though Du Yue had seen He Xing shoot before, she could not help but widen her eyes at the sight.
Usually, He Xing was always smiling and talking, but at critical moments, his eyes would be filled with bone-piercing killing intent, and the aura around him would become cold and fierce. At this moment, he was just like the silver spear in his hand, dazzling and invincible.
Du Yue only glanced at He Xing out of the corner of her eyes before she quickly turned her gaze back to the depths of the forest. To Du Yue, this operation was not only to earn contribution points but also a great opportunity to practice her shooting. After all, she did not have so many large and fast targets for her to practice on.
After the two of them worked together to kill more than a dozen wolves and a few wild boars, there were finally no more black shadows running out of the forest. Du Yue took out her binoculars and looked into the depths of the forest. She could still see many wolves and wild boars standing there. Du Yue did not know if they had heard the commotion over here or if they had smelled the blood of their kind after they were shot to death, but she felt that they were staring back at her when she looked at them.
It was clearly daytime, but the eyes of those animals seemed to be flashing with a strange green light, which made people feel cold all over. Du Yue wanted to take a few more glances, but she saw them turn around at the same time and run deep into the mountains. Du Yue only stopped looking at them after they had completely disappeared from her sight.
At the same time, He Xing sat up straight and lifted his chin. “We’ve gained a lot this time.” Although they did not know how many contribution points a wolf could be exchanged for, a wild boar could be exchanged for 500 to 600 contribution points. Just these few wild boars alone could be exchanged for 2,000 to 3,000 contribution points.
Although Du Yue was not lacking in supplies, she was still lacking in contribution points. Therefore, now that she had suddenly become rich, she was naturally excited. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
“I’ll get down and take the hare meat back from the pot.” As He Xing spoke, he held onto the luggage rack on the roof of the car and leaped down to the ground. He Xing’s movements were swift and agile. He landed on the ground steadily and extended his hand to Du Yue. “Hold my hand and jump down.”
“It’s okay, I can do it myself.” Du Yue shook her head. Just like He Xing, she held onto the luggage rack and jumped down to the ground. Du Yue’s years of martial arts training were not in vain. The days when she struggled to survive in her previous life were not in vain either.
Du Yue was confident that she would be able to jump to the ground unscathed even if she was standing on the second floor, let alone on the roof of an off-road vehicle.
He Xing looked at her with a smile of admiration in his eyes. The two of them walked into the forest and soon reached the gas stove. There was water in the pot, and the hare meat was already a little white. There were also some ginger slices and star anise in the seasoning mix that was used to remove the gamey smell and add flavor.
He Xing looked at the hare meat in the pot and raised an eyebrow at Du Yue proudly. “I specially added some seasoning so that it won’t have a gamey smell after it’s cooked. Let’s take it back and then stir-fry it with some chilies. It’ll definitely taste good.”
“You brought other condiments?” Du Yue asked him with a smile.
“Of course!” He Xing answered matter-of-factly, “Hare meat is so rare, so we can’t waste any of it!”
Du Yue nodded and suggested, “Why don’t we cook the hare meat here? There are no villages or shops here, so we don’t have to be afraid of people seeing us.”
When He Xing heard this, he looked at Du Yue in slight embarrassment. “But I’m not very good at cooking.”
“It doesn’t matter. I can do it.”
“Really? Then I’ll have to trouble you.” He Xing turned around and ran toward the car.
After a while, he came back with a box and opened it in front of Du Yue. “I brought all the condiments I have at home. See if they’re enough.” Du Yue stuck her head out to take a look. There were many bottles and jars in the box. There were the most basic condiments like oil, salt, sugar, and vinegar, but there were also chili powder, pepper, sesame seeds, cumin, and almost all the seasonings that could be bought in the market.
