64: Chapter 64 Qin Hongye gets in the car, let's give her a sniper rifle!

"Boss." Jiang Yanxue lowered her voice and leaned in closer.

"We have been traveling at high intensity for the past two days, and you have been working non-stop without any rest. How about I call Qin Hongye up?"

Chen Chen did not turn his head, looking at the Gobi Desert ahead: "Call her up for what?"

"That girl has strong hands and good stamina."

Jiang Yanxue smiled somewhat ambiguously, "Let her come up to fetch a basin of water for you, wash your feet, massage your legs, and relieve your fatigue. Besides... you can also 'inspect the goods' up close."

Chen Chen finally turned his head and looked Jiang Yanxue up and down.

This woman was used to being the young miss in the Black Dragon Society; playing with human hearts and guessing the superior's intentions were tricks she could perform with ease.

"You are quite generous."

"I have just recognized reality." Jiang Yanxue shrugged.

"On this vehicle, your mood is the most important thing. If you are comfortable, we can live better."

Chen Chen withdrew his gaze and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice.

"Let her come up."

Thirty kilometers behind.

Six modified off-road vehicles were maintaining a steady speed.

Inside the lead Raptor pickup, the radio suddenly crackled with static, followed by Jiang Yanxue's cold, hard voice.

"Seven Blades, have Qin Hongye accelerate and break away from the formation to join the main vehicle."

The hand holding the steering wheel of Seven Blades jerked, almost driving the car into a ditch.

Qin Hongye in the passenger seat stiffened even more, and the heavy sniper rifle on her back knocked against the seat with a dull thud.

"Big Miss, Hongye she..." Seven Blades still wanted to ask something.

"Shut up and do as I say. If I do not see her within five minutes, you can all stay in the Flesh Wasteland to feed the bugs."

The communication was unilaterally cut off.

There was dead silence in the car.

Seven Blades turned his head, looked at Qin Hongye's cold and beautiful face, and sighed.

"Hongye, the Big Miss's meaning is very clear."

Seven Blades lowered his voice, his tone filled with helplessness and anticipation, "That master has taken a liking to you."

Qin Hongye gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"Do not feel aggrieved." Seven Blades patted the steering wheel.

"Look outside. In this godforsaken place, whether the dozen of us can survive tonight is unknown. Being able to get on that floating RV is a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes! As long as you serve him well, anything that leaks through his fingers will be enough for our Black Dragon Society to rebuild!"

Qin Hongye's expression was cold and stern as she pushed open the car door.

"Seventh Uncle, I understand. I will not embarrass the Big Miss."

She jumped off the pickup, her legs exerting sudden force.

Leaving an afterimage on the wasteland, she sprinted towards the dark Ghost Fortress ahead.

Three minutes later.

The side armor door of the Ghost Fortress emitted a soft "hiss" of pressure release and slowly slid open to both sides.

Qin Hongye stood outside the door, panting, her forehead covered in sweat.

She raised her head and glanced into the cabin.

Just that one glance.

What hit her was a breath of fresh, 24-degree constant-temperature air, even carrying a faint scent of body wash.

The high-density metal floor was spotless, and the cold LED lights on the ceiling illuminated the entire space as bright as day.

On the left was a spacious leather sofa, and on the right was an extremely advanced combat command console.

But this was not what shocked her the most.

What shocked her most were the women in the car.

Shen Wanbing sat in front of the command console, holding a cup of steaming black coffee.

That face, Qin Hongye had seen countless times on the covers of financial magazines before the apocalypse—the thousand-billion conglomerate heiress, Shen Wanbing.

In the corner, a stunningly beautiful girl wearing a silver backless evening gown was tidying up the bed; that was the national-level idol, Shen Wanxing.

And there was a little loli with twin tails, hugging a beast leg bone larger than her head that was emitting a faint blue light, gnawing on it, her mouth full of grease.

Plus Jiang Yanxue, who was leaning against the door frame, watching her with a faint smile.

Four women, any one of whom could trigger a bloody battle of a thousand people in the wasteland just by her beauty.

And now, they were all in this vehicle, behaving themselves.

Qin Hongye's proud cold beauty and long legs suddenly did not seem so confident at this moment.

"What are you dazing for? Waiting for the boss to invite you in?" Jiang Yanxue spoke coldly.

Qin Hongye shuddered and quickly stepped up onto the threshold.

As soon as she stood steady, Jiang Yanxue kicked a plastic water basin over, plus a clean white towel.

"Go get some hot water. The boss is in the front."

Qin Hongye bit her lip and bent down to pick up the water basin.

She walked to the water purification module, drew half a basin of hot water, and carried the basin step by step to the side of the driver's seat.

Chen Chen was leaning back in the driver's seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Qin Hongye, with her 1.8-meter tall frame, bent her knees and knelt on the metal floor.

Her leather pants were tight, outlining a stunning curve.

"Boss... I will serve you by washing your feet."

Her voice trembled slightly, completely losing the arrogance she had when she pointed her gun at Chen Chen earlier.

Chen Chen did not open his eyes, just gave a casual "Hmm."

Qin Hongye reached out with both hands, carefully helping Chen Chen take off his military boots and removing his socks.

Her palms were full of sweat.

The moment her hands touched Chen Chen's ankles, a system prompt exploded in Chen Chen's mind.

"Ding! Detected that the bond with a beauty has been initially established!"

"Target: Qin Hongye"

"Favorability/Bond Progress: Lv.1 (10%)"

"Extracting exclusive trait..."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Purple Epic-grade trait: Fatal Lock/Weakness Break (Lv.1)!"

"Trait Effect: When the Host launches an attack, there is a 15% probability of generating a 'Weakness Marker' on the target. Hitting the marked area will cause 100% true damage."

"Additional Attribute: The probability of ranged weapons triggering this marker is increased by an additional 10%."

Chen Chen opened his eyes abruptly.

The value of this trait, when facing those thick-skinned high-level mutants, was absolutely a sharp weapon.

Especially when paired with the silenced pistol in his hand that had [Ignore 20% Physical Defense], or the two heavy machine guns on the roof of the vehicle.

As long as the marker is triggered, even a Tyrant-class monster would lose a layer of skin.

Chen Chen looked at Qin Hongye, who was kneeling at his feet.

This woman was looking down, her ear-length short hair hanging down to cover half of her face.

Her movements were clumsy, but the pressure was applied just right, clearly showing she had put heart into it.

"Your name is Qin Hongye." Chen Chen spoke slowly.

"Yes." Qin Hongye replied quickly, burying her head even lower.

"A-grade Eagle Eye sniper talent."

Qin Hongye suddenly raised her head, her face full of astonishment.

She had never exposed her specific talent rating in front of outsiders; even Seven Blades only knew she was good at marksmanship.

How did Chen Chen know?

"No need to look at me like that. On this vehicle of mine, there are no secrets."

Chen Chen leaned back into the seat, enjoying the soaking in warm water.

"That talent of yours is wasted on an ordinary sniper rifle." Chen Chen moved his mind and opened his Silver-grade storage ring.

Clang.

A heavy sniper rifle with an all-dark silver body and a very sci-fi design was thrown onto the floor next to Qin Hongye.

"[D-grade Gauss Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle: No gunpowder required, relies on electromagnetic acceleration to fire special alloy projectiles. Extremely high initial velocity, massive recoil.]"

This was idle equipment dropped from killing the hundred-person guild last night. Chen Chen disliked its slow rate of fire and threw it in the ring to gather dust.

But for Qin Hongye, this was simply a divine artifact.

Qin Hongye's gaze was instantly glued to that gun.

As a sniper, she knew too well the value of this weapon.

"Take it. From now on, you are responsible for the second-floor fire support." Chen Chen took his feet out of the basin.

Qin Hongye quickly used a towel to help him dry off, then held up the Gauss sniper rifle with both hands, her eyes turning red with excitement.

"Thank you, Boss! My life is yours from now on!"

"Keep your life for now. Go pour out the water."

Qin Hongye carried the water basin towards the bathroom.

The atmosphere in the cabin became somewhat subtle.

Five women.

The 120-cubic-meter space was spacious enough, but the female hormones in the air were almost overflowing.

Shen Wanbing turned her office chair, clasped her fingers on her knees, and sized up Qin Hongye with the scrutinizing gaze of someone looking at a new employee.

"1,500 meters effective range, combined with the Gauss rifle, the effective lethal radius can be expanded to 2,500 meters. Plus the Radar reporting points, it can be used as an over-the-horizon first-strike force."

Shen Wanbing quickly provided a tactical positioning.

Jiang Yanxue snorted: "Do not just look at the gun. The boss let you on the vehicle, not for you to be just a hired gun. Be sharp."

Shen Wanxing was a bit uneasy.

She looked at Qin Hongye's heaven-defying long legs, then lowered her head to look at herself.

Although she looked more delicate than Qin Hongye, a woman full of such wild power definitely had no small attraction to men.

She silently walked to Chen Chen's side, picked up the water cup on the table, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it over.

Su Xiaoqi was completely oblivious to these undercurrents.

She finished chewing the bone in her hand, let out a loud burp, ran to Qin Hongye, looked up, and asked:

"Big sister, do you eat meat? I have another piece of roast pork chop here."

Qin Hongye looked at this little loli whose height only reached her chest. Just as she was about to refuse, she sensed the energy radiating from that roast pork chop.

This was actually meat from a mutant-grade monster!

Just casually given away like this?
