131: You want to stop me?

At this moment, the shield on his body still had over thirty seconds remaining.

The people who needed to be killed were already dead; it was time to leave.

Just then, a familiar figure rushed in from outside.

"What audacious scoundrel dares to cause trouble in the General Commander's headquarters?" Lu Tian罡 roared, storming in with a powerful aura.

The soldiers inside, seeing that the newcomer was Lu Tian罡, the top master in the army and one of the Four Great Masters of Nanzhuang City, immediately felt a glimmer of hope.

"Do you intend to stop me?" Qin Shilei looked at the newcomer with a half-smile.

Upon recognizing that the troublemaker was none other than Qin Shilei, Lu Tian罡 instantly deflated.

He quickly lowered his long saber and said somewhat awkwardly, "So it's Brother Qin; is there some misunderstanding?"

The scene of the other party waving his hand, unleashing thousands of lightning bolts to destroy countless powerful Lightning Beasts, was still deeply etched in his mind. For such an invincible expert, he would absolutely avoid a confrontation if possible.

"Colonel Lu, he just killed Commander Fan," a voice suddenly came from behind him.

At this moment, Lu Tian罡 really wanted to turn around and cut down the person who spoke.

Damn it, Commander Fan's corpse was just a few meters away; did you think I couldn't see it?

What good was it to reveal everything now?

Did they want him to go and get himself killed, to keep Commander Fan company?

"The man named Fan abused his authority and ordered the bombing of Luyang Bridge, almost killing me. I came here for revenge. The matter is concluded; I will take my leave now."

Considering their brief time as teammates, Qin Shilei uncharacteristically explained himself again.

If Lu Tian罡 truly lacked judgment, he wouldn't mind eliminating the army's top figure to establish his prestige.

"I knew there was a misunderstanding. Since Brother Qin has something to attend to, please go ahead," Lu Tian罡 quickly said, seeing him off.

As long as there was an excuse, he would quickly send this killing god away. As for the truth of the matter, that could wait for the army's higher-ups to investigate.

"Goodbye!"

After Qin Shilei finished speaking, he vanished from the room.

"He's outside the window!" Someone with good eyesight immediately spotted Qin Shilei appearing in the air outside the building.

Before they could get a clear look, Qin Shilei vanished from there again.

Everyone rushed to the window and peered outside.

At this moment, a large eagle soared through the sky, and on its back stood a man and a woman. The man was none other than Qin Shilei, who had just been in the room.

Lu Tian罡 watched Qin Shilei disappear into the horizon, his astonishment impossible to hide.

Only half a day had passed since they parted, yet the other party had already learned another heaven-defying skill.

No wonder he dared to break into the General Commander's headquarters alone.

With such a skill, who could stop him?

At this moment, the General Commander's office was in an uproar.

"Who ordered the destruction of the last bridge?"

"We just received news that Deputy Commander Fan gave the order. His explanation was that a large number of Mutated Zombies appeared, and Luyang Bridge was on the verge of falling, so he had no choice but to order the bridge's destruction for everyone's safety."

"Luyang Bridge was our last hope for retaking Nanzhuang City! How could it be blown up so easily?"

Commander Kong slammed the table with a thundering sound, enraged.

The several legion commanders below also regretted not sending more people to defend Luyang Bridge, which led to its fall. They were even more furious with Commander Fan for blowing up the bridge, but it was not appropriate to interject at this moment.

Commander Kong asked in a deep voice, "What about the alarms and explosions at our headquarters? Did those zombies break in?"

Shi Yutang replied, "Colonel Lu Tian罡 has already gone over, and the gunfire has stopped now, so the enemy should have been annihilated."

"Report!" Just then, Lu Tian罡's voice came from outside the room.

At Commander Kong's signal, Shi Yutang said, "Come in."

"Tell us, what happened?" Commander Kong said with a grim face.

Lu Tian罡 deliberated for a moment, then said, "The one who caused trouble at the headquarters was Qin Shilei, the top master of Nanzhuang City. Commander Fan has been killed by him."

A commotion immediately broke out in the conference room.

"Audacious scoundrel! How dare he intrude into a military stronghold and even kill a Deputy Commander!"

"Has the intruder been apprehended?"

"Who is responsible for the military camp's defense? They must be held accountable."

Lu Tian罡 continued, "According to Qin Shilei, Commander Fan ordered the destruction of Luyang Bridge to kill him. He came for revenge. The matter is too significant, and I was in a hurry to return and report, allowing the other party to escape."

"He ordered the bridge destroyed to kill Qin Shilei?"

Commander Kong suddenly thought that his daughter had just become Qin Shilei's adjutant; she wouldn't have gone onto the bridge with him, would she?

He immediately became anxious. "Immediately send people to control the relevant individuals."

Before he could even order people to go to Chiyuan Mansion to investigate, another report came from outside the room.

"Reporting, General Commander! Qin Shilei and Lieutenant Colonel Kong were both killed in the explosion at Luyang Bridge!" Mu Ziping reported immediately after entering.

Commander Kong's face instantly turned pale.

"No, Qin Shilei is clearly not dead," Lu Tian罡 said, frowning.

"Impossible. Master Qin and Lieutenant Colonel Kong were on the bridge at the time. Under such heavy bombardment, they couldn't possibly have survived."

Mu Ziping's eyes showed a hint of sorrow.

Lu Tian罡 said, "Qin Shilei just left the headquarters; I saw it with my own eyes."

Commander Kong couldn't care less whether Qin Shilei was dead or not right now, and immediately ordered, "You! Return to Chiyuan Mansion immediately and see if Lieutenant Colonel Kong is there!"

"Report!" Just then, another clear report sounded from outside the room.

This voice sounded like heavenly music to Commander Kong's ears.

Then Kong Qingshu walked in.

Qin Shilei had let her down nearby after he left.

To help Qin Shilei clear his name, Kong Qingshu had run all the way to see her father.

Kong Qingshu meticulously recounted everything she knew.

She particularly emphasized that there were no Mutated Zombies on the bridge at the time, and highlighted Qin Shilei's invincible strength.

By this time, Shi Yutang's dispatched men had already brought back the artillery lieutenant colonel who had bombed the bridge.

"At that time, the communications soldier brought a military order signed by Commander Fan, stating that Luyang Bridge was about to fall. We had no choice but to obey the order and open fire to destroy the bridge."

Lieutenant Colonel Li finished speaking and then presented the order delivered by the communications soldier.

It was indeed a military order, personally signed by Commander Fan.

The previous few bridges had also been handled in the same way, so there was indeed nothing improper about it.

If what Kong Qingshu said was true, then everything was planned by Commander Fan.

"Now everyone on Luyang Bridge is dead. Relying solely on Lieutenant Colonel Kong's words might not be convincing."

Suddenly, a legion commander from Commander Fan's faction questioned.

"Hehe."

Kong Qingshu suddenly smiled brightly. "Qin Shilei just told me not to bother, saying that if I spoke alone, some people wouldn't believe me."

"According to Qin Shilei, whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter."

"Anyone who dares to offend him, even if they hide at the ends of the earth, he will surely kill them."

That legion commander's face changed. "Audacious scoundrel! Does he really think he's invincible? Even if he's invincible, can he stop the modern steel torrent?"

"Such an audacious scoundrel who dares to break into the headquarters must be apprehended to serve as a warning!"

"Hmph!"

Kong Qingshu sneered, "Luyang Bridge is destroyed, yet he is still alive, and he saved me too."

Seeing that the other party still wanted to argue, she continued, "A military stronghold was like an unoccupied territory to him; he easily killed Commander Fan, who abused his authority."

"If you're not afraid, you can try provoking him."

Regardless of the truth about the Luyang Bridge incident, Commander Fan's death was clear for all to see.

Everyone suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

If they truly offended the other party, even hiding in the military camp wouldn't save them from death.

Afterward, through investigation, the military confirmed that Qin Shilei was indeed on the bridge during the explosion.

Combined with the accounts of the soldiers at the headquarters who had bombed Qin Shilei with rocket launchers, it was clear that Qin Shilei was not afraid of artillery bombardment.

Thus, Qin Shilei's standing in the military's eyes was elevated infinitely.

He became the untouchable number one person.

As for Qin Shilei's offense of breaking into the General Commander's headquarters alone, no one mentioned it again.

Instead, all soldiers who had seen Qin Shilei were given a gag order.

The military's full attention shifted to the subsequent handling plan for the Luyang Bridge being destroyed.
