189: People who cut in line

Qin Shilei never expected his eyes would gain the probing ability of an online game.

Through his personal panel, he discovered that the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple had absorbed the original Phantom Silver Eyes, inheriting the latter's ability to create illusions.

And because the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple was of purple quality, its illusion-creating ability was greatly enhanced.

With a thought, Qin Shilei pulled Dong Qi into an illusion.

Dong Qi, who was driving, suddenly slammed on the brakes, then let out a series of snickering laughs.

The expression on his face also became lewd.

Seeing that Dong Qi was about to make some indecent movements, Qin Shilei quickly canceled the effect of the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple.

"Why did I suddenly stop?" Dong Qi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked in confusion.

"A rabbit just ran past, and you stopped abruptly," Qin Shilei bluffed.

"Why didn't I hit it? Roasted rabbit is quite delicious," Dong Qi said with some regret.

After speaking, he restarted the armored vehicle and continued driving forward.

At noon, they finally entered Lingquan City.

Lingquan City is a third-tier city where the zombies haven't been completely cleared, but a large base has been established there.

After paying two packs of instant noodles, Qin Shilei found a guide.

The guide pointed the way while introducing the basic situation of Lingquan City to Qin Shilei and his group.

"Our Lingquan City has over a hundred thousand survivors in total. The city Lord's Mansion is the sole dominant power, controlling one-third of the city's military force. The city Lord is Xiao Ziang."

"Besides the city Lord's Mansion, there's also the Wang Family Army, which established the Wangmen, and Zhou Zhengyang, who established the Zhou Tian Sword Sect."

"Miraculous Doctor Su is also very famous in our Lingquan City; many men seek her for medical treatment, though it's a bit expensive."

This guide was very talkative, chatting non-stop along the way, and quickly led Qin Shilei and his group to the Miraculous Doctor Su's clinic.

This was a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and there were actually two long lines in front of it.

"We have to queue?" Qin Shilei asked, somewhat surprised.

"After the apocalypse, as everyone's physical fitness improved, many illnesses healed on their own. But there are still some illnesses that need treatment, such as issues related to duration."

The guide suddenly gave Qin Shilei and Dong Qi a smile that all men would understand.

Dong Qi replied with a face full of black lines, "We have a female patient looking for her."

"There are also women who seek the Miraculous Doctor for size-related issues," the guide said with an expression that implied he understood perfectly.

"Alright, the place has been found, you can leave now," Qin Shilei casually dismissed the guide.

Such issues would only get worse with more explanation; why bother explaining more to someone he would never see a second time?

Dong Qi consciously got out of the car, "city Lord, you all can rest in the car."

He walked to the person at the very front and whispered a few words, seemingly not getting a satisfactory answer, then he tried three more people, finally achieving his goal.

He quietly handed two crystals to the other person, who then gave him their spot.

People at the back of the line saw Dong Qi openly buying a queue spot; some grumbled in dissatisfaction, but no conflict occurred.

After a few minutes, the person in front of Dong Qi was called in by the medical staff, and it was almost Qin Shilei and his group's turn.

Just then, a middle-aged man strode over, completely ignoring the queueing crowd, pushed his way through the line, and tried to walk into the clinic.

Seeing someone cut in line, someone immediately became displeased and shouted, "Hey, you, don't you know the rules? Everyone is waiting in line."

The middle-aged man turned around and said indifferently, "Are you sure you want me, Zhou Xiangrong, to talk about rules?"

"Zhou Xiangrong of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect?" The man's face changed, and he immediately apologized with a smile, "This humble one was blind and didn't recognize you, please go ahead."

The rest of the people, hearing that the person was from the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, also gave up the idea of stepping forward.

Zhou Xiangrong, seeing that his name had intimidated everyone, smiled disdainfully, turned, and continued to walk forward.

Just as he was about to step into the clinic, Dong Qi reached out and stopped him, "If you want to see a doctor, please queue."

He, as a subordinate of the Blue Star's number one person, hadn't used his influence to cut in line, so how could he allow others to do so?

Zhou Xiangrong's face showed some impatience, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear who I was just now?"

Dong Qi said calmly, "Zhou Xiangrong of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, right? What does that have to do with you cutting in line?"

Zhou Xiangrong's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you know I am Zhou Xiangrong, and you still dare to stop me, it seems you've eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts."

Dong Qi said flatly, "I don't care if you are Zhou Xiangrong or not, you're not cutting in my line."

"It seems someone thinks the swords of my Zhou Tian Sword Sect are not sharp enough. Today, I'll let you know that there are some people you cannot afford to offend."

After Zhou Xiangrong finished speaking, he threw a punch at Dong Qi.

Dong Qi also clenched his fist and punched back.

However, as soon as their fists met, a huge force surged from the opponent's fist, and he was instantly sent flying to the ground.

"Weakling!" Zhou Xiangrong said disdainfully, "With this level of skill, you dare to provoke our Zhou Tian Sword Sect? I think you're tired of living."

After speaking, he stepped forward and aimed a kick at Dong Qi's head.

Just as he was about to step on Dong Qi's head, a fist suddenly appeared and struck him hard in the stomach.

"Ah!"

Zhou Xiangrong screamed, flew back more than ten meters, and fell heavily to the ground.

He curled up, clutching his stomach, lying on the ground, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Dong Qi got up from the ground and said shamefully, "city Lord, your subordinate has shamed you."

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "Kill more zombies in the future, and one day you will be stronger than him. Let's go, we'll go in."

After speaking, he walked into the clinic, and Yin Xiaoxue, holding Kong Qingshu, quickly followed.

As for Zhou Xiangrong, who was still lying on the ground, they didn't spare him another glance.

After a while, Zhou Xiangrong finally got up from the ground and said fiercely to the people watching him, "What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll gouge out your eyes."

After speaking, he turned and scurried away into the distance.

Before leaving, he left a harsh threat directed at the clinic, "You just wait for me."

Only after Zhou Xiangrong had gone far away did the surrounding people dare to begin discussing in low voices.

"What's with the arrogance? He was still knocked down by one punch."

"Did you see clearly? How did Zhou Xiangrong suddenly fly out?"

"I just felt a blur before my eyes, that person appeared there, and then Zhou Xiangrong flew."

"Who was that person? He actually knocked down Bronze Eight-star Zhou Xiangrong with one punch?"

"Whoever it is, he's doomed. To actually offend the Zhou Tian Sword Sect. I'm afraid it won't be half an hour before Zhou Xiangrong brings people to seek revenge."

The surrounding people all felt that Qin Shilei was too unwise, to actually offend Zhou Xiangrong, an elder of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, one of the three major forces in Lingquan City; he probably wouldn't live past today.

Meanwhile, Qin Shilei had already entered the clinic.

He looked up and found that the person sitting behind the consultation desk was actually a young woman.

A master of traditional Chinese medicine, so young, and a woman?
