125: To interfere

Commander Fan returned to his office and summoned the other military soldier who had gone to kill the Zombie King.

"Tell me in detail about the situation during your outing."

That person began from the moment they met Qin Shilei in the valley, describing everything in detail until they returned to the military camp, leaving nothing out.

He concealed nothing, except for the matter of meeting Fan Xiaobo after stepping through the light gate.

"You mean to say that Qin Shilei has mastered the method to enter and exit that space?" Commander Fan's face was so gloomy it was as if it could drip water.

"Exactly. We relied on him opening the light gate to return to that cave." The man nodded.

At this moment, Commander Fan already had some ominous premonitions.

His son already had some grievances with that Qin Shilei, and their two meetings had also ended unpleasantly.

In the cave, Qin Shilei had even threatened that if his son dared to say another word, he would draw his sword and kill him.

Under such circumstances, Qin Shilei probably wouldn't even need to make a move; as long as he didn't open the light gate, he could trap his son to death in that space.

"Xiaobo, I hope you are okay, otherwise I will have everyone be buried with you."

Commander Fan said with a sinister expression.

Since the apocalypse arrived, his son in the public eye had already died, and now only this last piece of his own flesh and blood remained.

Once this last piece of his own flesh and blood also met with an accident, Commander Fan would surely become very insane.

Still holding onto a final shred of hope, Commander Fan dispatched a helicopter to fly to that valley again and sent someone to ask Qin Shilei about Fan Xiaobo's situation.

However, the result only made his expression even gloomier.

...

Seeing that Lu Tiangang and his men were defending the bridge, Qin Shilei left first, preparing to find the military to claim his reward for killing the Zombie King.

"Please wait a moment, I will go in and notify our leader." After the guard soldier finished speaking, he turned and went inside to report.

Soon, an officer from the logistics department walked out, "Mr. Qin, please come in."

This logistics officer was surnamed Liu, looked slightly chubby, and had a flattering smile on his face.

"Mr. Qin, the higher-ups have indeed given instructions regarding your matter. I have already reported it up; once it is confirmed that you have indeed killed the Zombie King, the reward will be approved very quickly."

Qin Shilei nodded and casually threw the Zombie King's corpse at Director Liu's feet.

Director Liu quickly summoned his subordinates to verify the authenticity of the Zombie King.

After a thorough inspection of the appearance, physical features, as well as the crystal core and ability orb inside the Zombie King's head.

Director Liu was already seven or eight parts certain that the corpse before him was the Zombie King.

Coupled with the news sent by Lu Tiangang and the military's investigation into Qin Shilei's strength, he was ninety-nine percent convinced that Qin Shilei had indeed killed the Zombie King.

Director Liu's attitude became even more respectful, "Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. I will go and urge them again now. For a hero like you, our military will certainly bestow generous rewards."

Before leaving, he even had someone bring over some pastries and tea.

Qin Shilei waited for almost an hour.

Then, he saw Director Liu walking in, looking somewhat apprehensive, following behind Commander Fan.

As soon as Qin Shilei saw Commander Fan, his heart skipped a beat, and he understood that the other party was likely here to cause trouble.

Commander Fan asked with a cold face, "Qin Shilei, I heard that you have controlled that space. Do you have any news about Fan Xiaobo?"

Qin Shilei shook his head, "I did not control that space; I was just lucky enough to open the light gate to come out."

Commander Fan questioned, "Not controlled? Then why have the light gates to enter and exit it disappeared now?"

Qin Shilei spread his hands, "I don't know about that. After I came out, I also discovered that the light gate had disappeared on its own."

"You..." Commander Fan said angrily, "It is clear that you closed the light gate for entering and exiting. You are intentionally trying to trap others to death inside."

Commander Fan's last shred of hope was also shattered.

Regardless of whether his son was already dead, he would likely never see him again in this lifetime.

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "Whether you believe it or not, the light gate really disappeared on its own after I left."

In fact, the light gate was indeed something Qin Shilei had closed himself.

After mastering the thunder spirit orb, it also meant he had mastered the entry and exit of that space.

That space now had nothing else except for some bamboo and a small number of thunder beasts.

It seemed useless, but it was rich in thunder elements, and Qin Shilei could easily use lightning inside to help people undergo baptism.

Moreover, it was an independent space, which in the apocalypse represented an extremely safe place.

If he could change the location of the entrance and exit, it would be an excellent rear base.

For such a good place, Qin Shilei certainly didn't want others to enter, so he closed the light gate as soon as he came out.

Commander Fan asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you cannot open the light gate and let Fan Xiaobo out?"

Qin Shilei shook his head, "I am powerless to do so."

"Good, very good." Commander Fan laughed in anger, "It seems you are very confident in your own strength."

"I wonder if you can withstand a missile bombardment?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shilei revealed a murderous aura and looked coldly at Commander Fan in front of him.

Commander Fan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast.

He had also absorbed a large amount of crystal cores and possessed the cultivation of a Black Iron Seven Star, yet he did not expect that a single glance from Qin Shilei would make him tremble.

Is this the strength of the strongest person in Nanzhuang City?

Just as Qin Shilei was weighing whether to make a move here and kill this Fan, footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.

Then, Liehuo Army Commander Shi Yutang walked in through the open door.

"Hello, Deputy Commander Fan."

Shi Yutang first greeted Commander Fan, then said to Qin Shilei, "Qin Shilei, I heard you killed the Zombie King. I will take you to see the General Commander now and have him give you the reward."

Qin Shilei could not figure out why this Shi Yutang was proactively helping him, but he still agreed without hesitation, "Good."

"Wait." Commander Fan said with a cold face, "Whether this Zombie King has been killed is not yet confirmed; isn't it too childish to give him the reward at this time?"

Shi Yutang turned and asked Director Liu, "You have confirmed the authenticity of the Zombie King's corpse, right?"

Director Liu just wanted to answer, but Commander Fan glanced at him, "You had better think carefully; fabricating and falsifying will be severely punished."

Director Liu stammered, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Although he was the director of the logistics department, there was still a minister of the logistics department above him, and in front of these two big shots, he was two or three ranks lower.

With two big shots fighting, how could a small character like him dare to intervene?

Shi Yutang said calmly, "Just state what the test results are; General Commander Kong will naturally be able to distinguish the truth."

Director Liu pondered for a moment before speaking, "The zombie corpse provided by Mr. Qin has a 95% similarity to the photo of the Zombie King taken by our military, and the crystal core and ability orb on the corpse also match the strength of the Zombie King."

Glancing at Commander Fan, who was glaring at him, Director Liu continued, "Because we do not have more information about the Zombie King, we also cannot confirm whether this zombie corpse is indeed the Zombie King."

Shi Yutang smiled and said, "That is enough. Coupled with the corroboration from Colonel Lu and his men, the one Mr. Qin killed must be the Zombie King."

After speaking, he took Qin Shilei and walked out.

Director Liu also quietly followed them out.

Commander Fan muttered to himself with a gloomy face, "So what if the reward is given to you? I'm afraid you will have the life to take it, but not the life to use it."
