148: Another large amount of crystal cores received

Military headquarters.

"Qin Shilei, I can buy the grain at the price you mentioned."

Commander Kong said with a smile, "However, I have one condition: marry my daughter, and then come to the military as a military commander, a commander with real power."

"Dad." Kong Qingshu said angrily and shyly, "Your daughter isn't unmarriageable, why are you always trying to push me away?"

Commander Kong ignored his daughter's objection and stared fixedly at Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei shook his head and said, "There's no emotional foundation between Miss Kong and me. Forcing us together would probably not be good."

Upon hearing this, Kong Qingshu's eyes immediately showed a hint of anger.

"Hmph, to refuse so decisively, am I really that unappealing?"

Commander Kong also showed a hint of disappointment: "Since that's the case, I won't force it. I have two conditions: first, we sign an offensive and defensive alliance, never to invade each other. Second, we hope you can kill powerful zombies like the Tyrant in Nanzhuang City."

"Alright," Qin Shilei replied very decisively.

The two conditions had no downside for him, so of course, he had no reason to refuse.

Commander Kong had someone bring two agreements, and after signing, they each kept one.

Qin Shilei left 500 tons of grain and took 30,000 crystals.

After Qin Shilei left, Kong Qingshu said unhappily, "Dad, didn't you promise me this morning that you wouldn't mention a marriage alliance? Why did you go back on your word?"

Commander Kong said earnestly, "Qin Shilei is not only the strongest person on Blue Star, but according to our investigation, his character is also good. If you really marry him, it would be very good."

Kong Qingshu retorted, "But he already has girlfriends, and two of them. Do you really want your daughter to be a junior wife?"

Commander Kong frowned and said, "Before the apocalypse, even if you wanted to be a junior wife, I would never agree, but now it's the apocalypse."

"Before Qin Shilei advanced, he could move freely in the military camp. Now he is the strongest person on Blue Star; there's probably nowhere on Blue Star that can stop him."

"Most of Commander Fan's former forces have now turned to Commander Liu, and there's a tendency for them to listen to announcements but not follow orders."

"In order to help you and your brother advance to the Bronze Realm, we've collected a large number of crystals, and the people below are feeling dissatisfied."

"Now we need a strong ally, do you understand that?"

"......." Kong Qingshu looked directly at her father: "I know all that, but he's already refused twice. I hope you, Dad, won't try to force your daughter on him again next time. It's really too embarrassing."

"Alright, alright." Commander Kong quickly promised, "If he dares to look down on my daughter, then he has no good fortune."

"Then I'm leaving." Kong Qingshu turned and walked out after speaking.

........

"Shi Lei, after learning that you are the strongest person on Blue Star, the number of people signing up to join the Panshi Battle Group has surged. Should we change the conditions or simply recruit more people?"

Zhang Cheng stopped Qin Shilei, who was about to set off to kill zombies, and asked.

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment and replied, "Raise the admission standard to Black Iron Seven Stars, and the number of people will still be limited to 3,000. Quality over quantity."

"Okay, I'll go recruit people now." Zhang Cheng finished speaking and turned to run out.

Qin Shilei also took Zhang Xiaoli and the others, preparing to cross the river to kill zombies.

An Qian stayed in the villa to absorb crystals; now that crystals were abundant, advancing to the Silver Realm was just around the corner.

Just then, Kong Qingshu's shouts came from afar: "Commander, wait for me."

"Did you do something to her? She's the General Commander's daughter, why does she always run to your side?"

Zhang Xiaoli said with a face full of jealousy.

Qin Shilei said innocently, "I didn't. She's quite affectionate with you all, though."

Zhang Xiaoli warned, "You're not allowed to have any bad intentions towards her, otherwise, you're not allowed on my bed, and An Qian's too."

Qin Shilei quickly promised, "Absolutely not."

He paused and then said, "Zhang Xiaoli, you've changed. You used to trust me so much, but now you've learned to be jealous."

Zhang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Qin Shilei: "You've already eaten me up, can't I be a little jealous?"

"......." Qin Shilei said speechlessly, "That makes so much sense!"

"Commander, what makes so much sense?" Kong Qingshu, who had just approached, asked curiously.

"I was saying, Sister Qingshu, you're so beautiful, many people must like you. He agrees with that."

Zhang Xiaoli replied, interjecting.

"Does the Commander like me too? This humble girl truly feels honored."

Kong Qingshu finished speaking and looked at Qin Shilei with a half-smile.

Qin Shilei glanced at Zhang Xiaoli, as if to say, "See? You've brought trouble upon yourself. How am I supposed to answer?"

Zhang Xiaoli chuckled dryly: "Men all like beautiful women; it's normal for him to like you."

"Really?" Kong Qingshu said with a surprised look, "I also find the Commander very pleasing to the eye. How about we start dating?"

"......." Zhang Xiaoli now really wanted to tear off her own mouth.

"Hehe."

Kong Qingshu laughed, "I'm not joking with you anymore. I know the Commander only has you and An Qian in his eyes. My plain looks can't enter your lover's eyes, Sister."

Qin Shilei also changed the subject: "Let's go!"

Now, the Chi Yuan River was bustling with boats coming and going.

However, most of the boats were carrying soldiers; only occasionally did one see a small boat carrying civilian Evolution.

Kong Qingshu explained from the side, "Before the bridge was blown up, the military had already controlled most of the boats."

"Now, civilian Evolution are pressuring the military, wanting them to give up some boats."

"However, having a boat to cross the river isn't necessarily a good thing. Many of the military's forward positions have been destroyed by zombie counterattacks."

As they were talking, a flare suddenly rose in the distance.

"Commander, a powerful Mutated Zombie is attacking the military position, can you go rescue them?" Kong Qingshu's voice carried a hint of pleading.

"I'll be back soon; you all be careful." Qin Shilei released Strong and flew in the direction of the flare.

.......

In a position with seven or eight hundred people.

Three Tyrants were leading dozens of Mutated Zombies and countless ordinary zombies, wreaking havoc and slaughtering in the position.

Machine guns and rocket launchers blasted against the Tyrants, but instead of stopping their advance, it only made them more enraged.

With each swing of a Tyrant's fist, three or four people's heads would explode like watermelons.

"Commander, we can't hold on, retreat quickly!" A company commander shouted hoarsely.

"Companies one to five, take your men and retreat towards the Chi Yuan River. Companies six, seven, and eight, we will stay behind to cover the rear," the commander ordered.

"Commander, you go, we'll cover the rear!" The company commander shouted.

"Go quickly, that's an order!" The commander ordered again, leaving no room for doubt.

Just then, one person and one eagle swooped down from the sky.

Lightning Chain Slash!

Qin Shilei suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, rapidly approaching the Tyrant ten meters below.

Cold light flashed, sword qi surged!

The arrogant Tyrant became motionless in an instant.

Then its head fell off, followed by its hands, feet, and half of its body.

The powerful Tyrant was dismembered by Qin Shilei in one move!
