112: Fight the Zombie King Again

After opening Qin Shi Lei's treasure chest, An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli also opened theirs, both gaining a little something.

The three of them returned to their rooms to rest, awaiting the arrival of the next day.

In the early hours of the morning, three more earth-shattering explosions came from the direction of the Chi Yuan River.

As soon as the sun rose, Mu Ziping anxiously knocked on Qin Shi Lei's door.

"Commander, three more bridges were blown up last night. Now only the last two remain. The General Commander has asked to see you to discuss something."

Qin Shi Lei glanced towards the small valley, then turned and said indifferently, "I have an urgent matter to attend to right now. I'll go see the General Commander when I get back."

Before going to bed last night, he went to that small valley again for a while, and the Zombie King still couldn't enter the cave.

After a night, he didn't know the situation, so Qin Shi Lei wanted to go check it first.

Mu Ziping opened his mouth, but finally advised, "Commander, that's not good, is it?"

"It's fine as it is." Qin Shi Lei called for Zhang Qiang and quickly flew towards the small valley.

Upon closer inspection, the Zombie King was still having his subordinates attack the cave.

Although the white light emitted by the cave had dimmed, it still blocked the Zombie King from entering.

Qin Shi Lei thought for a moment and decided to let the Zombie King continue to wear down the cave's defensive white light, then turned to take the time to meet the General Commander.

"What a grand display, making so many of us wait for you alone."

As soon as Qin Shi Lei walked into the same meeting room as last time, Fan Xiaobo mocked him in a sarcastic tone.

Qin Shi Lei glanced at him and said indifferently, "I didn't ask you to wait for me."

"Alright." Commander Kong stopped Fan Xiaobo's words and said directly, "Everyone is here. Let's discuss this openly and honestly."

"The Zombie King must be killed, and Nanzhuang City must be recaptured."

"Whoever can kill the Zombie King, the military will not only promise that person to become a division commander. In the future, when Nanzhuang City is recaptured, the territory taken by the civilian corps will also be entirely governed by that individual."

Everyone present's eyes lit up simultaneously, then returned to calm.

What Commander Kong said sounded good, but he still didn't offer much in the way of actual benefits.

In the apocalypse, territory is both important and not important.

If you occupy a few streets, or even a district of the city, what are you after? Isn't it all the various supplies inside?

And most of the supplies can be taken away.

In the remaining territory of Nanzhuang City, there are many zombies. If Qin Shi Lei and his group could really occupy a district, could they open malls and collect taxes, or clear land and farm there?

Of course, it wasn't without any benefits. At least nominally, he would be the owner of that land, and could use it to develop his influence, perhaps one day becoming the true master of Nanzhuang City.

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Commander Kong continued, "The food in He Shan District is running out. I presume you don't have much food either. We can only survive by recapturing Nanzhuang City and utilizing the supplies within."

"Food is running out?" Qin Shi Lei glanced at the Qiankun Ring in his hand, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Deputy Commander Fan also interjected, "For the one who kills the Zombie King, our military will reward five Tanks, ten armored vehicles, twenty rocket launchers, five artillery pieces, twenty machine guns, and a batch of various ammunition."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Lei showed some interest, "Finally willing to bring out something substantial."

These items are very good for both killing zombies and defending the base.

Seeing that everyone was somewhat moved, Deputy Commander Fan continued, "The military's opinion is that all of you here should work together to eliminate the Zombie King."

"The military will be responsible for locating the Zombie King. At that time, helicopters will transport you to the destination and provide fire support."

"You can each lead a small number of elites, striving to complete the mission before the zombie horde surrounds you."

Fire King and Ice King all agreed:

"Good, with everyone's combined strength, we can definitely slay the Zombie King."

"Dropping down suddenly in front of the Zombie King at that time will surely catch him off guard."

"I agree with this plan."

After everyone finished speaking, they all turned to look at Qin Shi Lei.

Even without explicitly saying it, Fire King and the others still felt that Qin Shi Lei would have to be the main force in killing the Zombie King.

"Team up? No need."

Qin Shi Lei said indifferently, "To deal with the Zombie King, I alone am enough."

After speaking, he got up and walked out of the meeting room.

If there wasn't that attractive cave in the valley, Qin Shi Lei certainly wouldn't mind having more cannon fodder when killing the Zombie King.

Now, it's only suitable to bring An Qian and her group to kill the Zombie King.

"Too arrogant!"

"Yesterday he said going to kill the Zombie King was suicide, but today he thinks he can kill the Zombie King independently. Is he out of his mind?"

"He wouldn't really think he can ride his pet and shoot the Zombie King to death, would he? He probably won't see tomorrow's sun."

Fan Xiaobo watched Qin Shi Lei walk out and immediately started to mock him sarcastically.

Although Fire King and the others didn't respond, their expressions indicated that they strongly agreed with Ice King's opinion.

After Qin Shi Lei returned to Five Villa, he first picked up An Qian and flew towards the small valley.

Now, Zhang Qiang's wingspan is eight or nine meters, enough to carry two people at once.

An Qian sat in front, leaning slightly against Qin Shi Lei behind her.

A few strands of her hair were blown by the wind onto Qin Shi Lei's face, tickling him a little.

"Why don't you help me tie my hair?" An Qian suddenly spoke.

"Okay." Qin Shi Lei took out a red hair tie and simply tied her hair into a bun.

"You're too perfunctory," An Qian pouted playfully.

"Should I tie a ponytail? That wouldn't suit your temperament at all," Qin Shi Lei said with conviction.

"You don't know how, do you?" An Qian turned her head, smiling as she looked at Qin Shi Lei.

"Don't move."

Qin Shi Lei took out a butterfly hairpin and changed the subject, saying, "Clipping a hairpin like this suits you very well."

"Fine, you win." An Qian smiled, "I also think this simple style is quite good."

The two chatted casually, and before they knew it, they arrived in a patch of woods behind the small valley.

After letting An Qian down, Qin Shi Lei went back again to pick up Zhang Xiaoli.

Just as Qin Shi Lei was preparing to go back again to pick up Zhang Qiang and the others, he noticed that the white light emitted by the cave had greatly weakened, and the Zombie King could break through the cave's defense and enter at any time.

Qin Shi Lei decided to act directly.

Zhang Qiang gently flapped his wings, hovering directly over two hundred meters above the valley.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Qin Shi Lei's right hand became a blur, continuously pulling the bowstring and firing a series of sharp arrows.

The ordinary Mutated Zombies below were shot one by one in their vital points, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

For these ordinary Mutated Zombies, just one or two or three arrows were enough to kill one.

"Roar!"

Qin Shi Lei's actions quickly aroused the Zombie King's displeasure. He raised his head and roared.

Under the Zombie King's command, the Tyrant picked up rocks from the ground and hurled them at Qin Shi Lei in the sky.

Zhang Qiang gently flapped a wing, easily dodging the flying rocks.

Qin Shi Lei's archery movements were not affected at all; he continued to slaughter the Mutated Zombies on the ground.

If they were in the city, the Zombie King might have led his subordinates to hide in buildings.

But this valley, apart from a few sparse small trees, had nowhere to hide.

The Zombie King could only stand there, fuming, utterly helpless.

He wanted to retreat into the city, but he was unwilling to leave that cave.

Watching Qin Shi Lei kill over a hundred of his subordinates, the Zombie King finally couldn't hold back. He leaped up, spread his bone wings, and flew into the sky.

Qin Shi Lei didn't plan to confront him directly for now. He rode Zhang Qiang, circling and continuing to slaughter the zombies below.

The Zombie King flew for a short while but had to land on the ground again.

His flying speed was very fast, but his endurance was too poor, only able to fly a few hundred meters at most.

"Roar roar!"

The Zombie King let out angry roars, his eyes turning even redder.

After a while longer, the Zombie King let out another roar.

In the valley, except for the Tyrant, all the other zombies dashed towards the city, fleeing.

Qin Shi Lei chased after that group of zombies, killing them all the way until they had run into the city and hidden in tall buildings.
