162: Suppressing the rebellion

Commander Kong's face was filled with rage as he shouted, "Liu Yongsi, you shameless scoundrel! The army belongs to the nation, how can you just sell it off on a whim?"

Liu Yongsi adopted a look of compassion, saying, "Old Kong, you've been corrupted by power, only caring about holding onto the authority of General Commander."

"Qin Shilei is the number one person on Blue Star, with countless strong soldiers and brave generals under him. Only he can lead the survivors of Nanzhuang City to live better in this apocalypse."

"Could it be that with Qin Shilei's world-beating strength, he can't even be the City Lord of a small Nanzhuang City?"

The tone of his voice made it seem as if Liu Yongsi was a staunch supporter of Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei sneered, then lifted his foot and walked towards Liu Yongsi.

Along the way, everyone scattered to both sides, fearing that Qin Shilei would cleave them with his sword.

Liu Yongsi looked at the smile on Qin Shilei's face, and his heart grew even more panicked.

He wouldn't just casually kill him like he did when he first appeared, would he?

He quickly spoke, saying, "Qin Shilei, the one who slandered you was Commander Kong. He even arranged an informant in your Panshi Battle Group. This has nothing to do with me."

"An informant?" Qin Shilei looked back at Commander Kong.

That glance sent a shiver down Commander Kong's spine.

"Yes, his name is Peng Changtai, and he was originally a company commander in our military."

Liu Yongsi quickly said, "Commander Kong was wary of you everywhere, just afraid that you would rely on your powerful strength to become City Lord, which would affect his authority as General Commander."

"Nonsense." Commander Kong opened his mouth, somewhat lacking confidence as he argued, "Placing hidden agents in various forces was a unified decision of the military department, not my personal doing."

Qin Shilei looked at Commander Kong again, showing some displeasure about the informant matter.

But it was unavoidable for the Panshi Battle Group to have people arranged by others.

He turned and sneered, "The informant was arranged by the General Commander, but slandering me was your doing. How do you want to die?"

The certainty in his tone made Liu Yongsi's heart tremble, unsure of where he had given himself away.

He hurriedly said, "Qin Shilei, do you really not want to be City Lord? Without me, you can't control the army at all. Commander Kong, that stubborn old man, will not only not help you but will also stop you from becoming City Lord."

Qin Shilei sneered, "Do you think everyone cherishes this City Lord position as much as you do? Since you dared to provoke me, then go to hell."

Liu Yongsi saw Qin Shilei approaching aggressively and immediately panicked, saying, "Attack him! If we don't kill him today, we'll all die."

However, no one dared to step forward; instead, they quietly retreated.

Liu Yongsi had no choice but to threaten everyone to attack together again: "You all had a hand in plotting against him, don't think you can stand aside. He won't let you off. If you want to live, kill him."

Qin Shilei sneered, "It really was you."

After speaking, he flashed close to the opponent, waved his hand, and a head flew into the air, rolling into a corner.

"Dad!" Liu Hongsheng cried out in grief and indignation, "I'll fight you to the death! Everyone, charge!"

After speaking, he raised his saber and charged forward, with a small portion of his loyal followers also charging with him.

"I don't know anything, and I never intended to be your enemy."

The rest of the people shouted as they fled outwards.

Qin Shilei stomped his foot, passing by Liu Yongsi, who then fell backward, dead.

After killing Commander Liu and his son, Qin Shilei did not stop, continuing to transform into an afterimage and chase after the remaining people.

As wails constantly echoed, the hall instantly became a slaughterhouse.

Even those who escaped the hall were quickly caught and slain on the ground.

Commander Kong, whose wounds had been simply bandaged, walked out of the hall supported by Shi Yutang and came before Qin Shilei: "Thank you for your assistance this time."

He had wanted to ask Qin Shilei to spare the remaining people several times, as they were the elite of the military's elite.

He thought of letting those people atone for their sins by killing zombies and contributing to the recapture of Nanzhuang City.

But looking at Qin Shilei's murderous face, he ultimately did not speak.

Qin Shilei said faintly, "This matter is concluded. You handle the rest. I'm leaving."

Kong Qingshu quickly said, "Leader, take me with you."

Qin Shilei said coldly, "No need. You stay and help your father."

He was still somewhat bothered by the informant matter and intended to draw a clear line with Commander Kong.

Kong Qingshu firmly said, "I am also a member of the Panshi Battle Group. It is my duty to guard the camp."

Qin Shilei turned to look at her, meeting Kong Qingshu's resolute eyes, and finally nodded, saying, "Alright."

The military department was still in chaos due to Liu Yongsi's rebellion, yet Kong Qingshu still insisted on helping guard the camp at such a critical moment.

Whether it was to repay a debt or because she truly considered herself a member of Panshi, this sentiment was indeed rare.

After speaking, Qin Shilei summoned Little Strong, embraced Kong Qingshu, and instantly teleported onto Little Strong's back, rushing towards An Qian's location.

After Qin Shilei left, Commander Kong, despite his injuries, along with Shi Yutang and Lu Tian罡, began to clean up the military department's mess.

Soon after, he received news of his son's death and, overcome with grief, fainted to the ground.

After being revived, he was greatly shaken and for a moment entertained the thought of abdicating.

Meanwhile, Qin Shilei quickly returned to the front line with Kong Qingshu.

At this moment, An Qian was on the rooftop, using her short bow to shoot Mutated Zombies.

"Sister Qingshu, you're back. Is Uncle alright?" An Qian asked with concern.

"He only suffered minor injuries. Thank you for your concern, An Qian."

After speaking, Kong Qingshu drew her long whip and jumped into the zombie horde, frantically slaying zombies.

"Did you guys have any problems over here?"

Qin Shilei looked into the distance and found that there were less than ten thousand zombies left.

"No problem. Since you're back, I'll just try my ultimate skill. Protect me a bit later."

After An Qian spoke, she also activated her Phoenix Wings and flew into the densest part of the zombie horde.

Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!

A Qinglei phantom appeared above An Qian's head, raising its head and chirping.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to hear a loud bird cry.

Then, a hundred lifelike energy giant birds appeared around An Qian, chirping along with the Qinglei phantom and rushing towards the zombie horde in front.

As the fiery red birds flew by, countless zombies were instantly ignited, burned to charcoal, and then shattered into dust upon impact.

Under An Qian's command, the Qinglei, carrying a hundred kinds of energy firebirds, flew in circles around An Qian.

They continued until all the zombies within a hundred-meter radius were cleared, then vanished into the air as their energy was depleted.

An Qian also collapsed backward from exhaustion after unleashing her ultimate skill.

Qin Shilei appeared just behind her, reaching out to embrace and support her.

"You rest for a while; I'll handle the rest."

"Okay, I feel that as I become more familiar with this ultimate skill, I can slowly control it without having to use full power every time and become exhausted."

An Qian took out crystals, sat cross-legged, and began to recover.
