226: Suppressing riots

Watching the shouting thugs charge over, Qin Shilei waved his hand, releasing his pet Tank.

Then, he lightly leaped onto the Tank’s back.

“Moo!”

The Tank roared, then lifted its two thick front legs high before stomping them down heavily.

Boom!

Like a magnitude seven earthquake, a powerful ripple spread outwards, knocking all the thugs within thirty meters to the ground.

These thugs, whose highest cultivation was only at the Bronze Realm, could not withstand the Ground Stomp unleashed by the Tank.

With a single blow, over seventy percent of the thugs died instantly.

Qin Shilei waved his hand again, releasing two Silver Realm Shadow Leopards.

As soon as the two Shadow Leopards appeared, they immediately transformed into two blurs, swiftly harvesting the lives of the surrounding thugs.

Suddenly, the thugs who were attacking them stopped dead in their tracks, remaining in place, daring not to take another step forward.

Qin Shilei stood on the back of the five to six-meter-tall Mammoth Giant Elephant, like a god, looking sharply at the surrounding thugs.

“Clang!”

Suddenly, someone, unable to bear Qin Shilei’s cold gaze, couldn’t help but drop the weapon in his hand, his legs giving out as he knelt on the ground.

He shouted loudly, “Boss, spare my life! I won’t dare to do it again.”

Some of these people had merely blindly followed the crowd in their evil deeds, and only with a momentary burst of courage had they dared to raise their blades against Qin Shilei.

At this moment, intimidated by Qin Shilei’s successive killings and the three powerful pets, their courage instantly drained away, their spirits collapsed, and they had no will to resist in their hearts. They could only drop their weapons and beg for Qin Shilei’s forgiveness.

With someone taking the lead, countless other thugs immediately threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

Qin Shilei scanned his surroundings and found that more than half of the people had not yet knelt.

His figure flickered, turning into a blur once more, and he resumed his slaughter.

However, this time his targets were only the thugs who were still standing, while Qin Shilei spared all those who had knelt down and begged for mercy.

As Qin Shilei’s frenzied slaughter continued, more and more thugs dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

There were also those who considered themselves clever, secretly hiding among the crowd, hoping to escape Qin Shilei’s pursuit.

However, as soon as they hid among the crowd, they were pushed out by the surrounding survivors or pointed out by those around them.

Before the thug could react, he was killed with a sword by the charging Qin Shilei.

At this point, the thugs had no choice but to honestly kneel on the ground, awaiting Qin Shilei’s judgment.

Immediately, a vast expanse of people, probably two to three thousand, knelt on the ground.

The survivors on the surrounding buildings and streets all watched this scene in stunned silence.

Who was this divine being? He was simply comparable to a one-man army from novels. With his own strength, he had killed hundreds of people without a scratch and forced two to three thousand people to submit and kneel.

Qin Shilei looked at the vast expanse of thugs kneeling before him, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to deal with them.

“Thank you, Boss, for saving our lives!” Just then, Water Yuexin cautiously walked over and expressed her sincere gratitude.

“You’re welcome. Do you know why these zombies only surrounded you and didn’t kill you?” Qin Shilei asked.

“These zombies don’t not kill us; they kill us in shifts.”

Water Yuexin explained, “They attack our camp three times a day, taking two to three hundred people each time.”

“We are like food raised by the zombies, arbitrarily slaughtered in portions every day.”

“To prevent us from starving to death, those zombies even send us some food.”

“There’s even such a Zombie King?” Qin Shilei was also startled.

At this moment, he somewhat wanted to witness this peculiar Zombie King.

“Yes.” Water Yuexin continued, “We’ve been trapped for almost half a month. Today, someone finally couldn’t stand this life of waiting to die, and then a riot broke out.”

She turned her head to look at the kneeling thugs and cursed in a low voice, “These damned guys, if they’re so capable, why don’t they go act tough with the zombies?”

Just then, the zombies outside the camp began to move.

Water Yuexin’s expression changed, and she reminded, “These zombies are preparing to enter the camp to catch us.”

The survivors in the camp clearly also knew what was about to happen. Some timidly retreated into the buildings.

However, the buildings were mostly packed with people, so those downstairs couldn’t get into them at all.

The kneeling thugs also showed signs of fear, looking as if they were ready to get up and flee at any moment.

Qin Shilei’s gaze turned cold as he swept his eyes over the thugs, commanding, “You, get up immediately and block those zombies.”

Although he could release the elephant herd to charge at those zombies,

there were over a hundred thousand zombies surrounding the outside of the residential area at this time. If Qin Shilei were to act, it might trigger a large-scale attack by the zombies, and then the entire camp would surely be submerged by zombies.

Most of the survivors in the camp would also be killed by the zombies.

Qin Shilei could only temporarily let the thugs block the zombies, while he began to clear out the zombies from another direction.

The thugs kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and finally, under pressure from Qin Shilei, they got up and walked towards the residential area’s main gate.

Resisting the zombies might not result in death, but disobeying that killing god would likely lead to immediate death.

“Serves you right. You probably never imagined that one day you would be forced by others to face those zombies.”

Water Yuexin looked at the thugs slowly shuffling towards the residential area’s main gate and said mockingly in a low voice.

Seeing Qin Shilei look at her with some confusion, she explained, “They, relying on their strength, would always force those weaker survivors to their deaths when zombies attacked.”

“Those zombies also don’t care about the reason; as long as they catch enough people, they will retreat on their own.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Qin Shilei saw that the thugs were already engaged in a chaotic battle with the zombies that had invaded the residential area, then turned to Water Yuexin and instructed, “Go call over the leaders of the various existing forces in the residential area. I have something to tell them.”

“Okay.” Water Yuexin turned and ran towards the buildings.

Soon, more than a dozen men and women walked over.

Qin Shilei asked in a deep voice, “Do you want to live or die? Do you want to escape being raised by these zombies?”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to be the first to answer Qin Shilei’s words.

“Boss, we all want to live.” Finally, Water Yuexin was the first to speak.

Then, under Qin Shilei’s gaze, everyone else also spoke up, saying, “We want to live, Boss. If you have a plan, just tell us directly.”

Qin Shilei was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with them and directly instructed, “I am Qin Shilei. In a while, I will go kill the Zombie King first, and then clear out the zombies outside.”

“Once I kill the Zombie King, the remaining zombies are very likely to charge into the camp.”

“At that time, to survive, I hope you can lead people to defend the camp. You can also let those thugs defend the front line, but you are not allowed to send those weaker survivors to be cannon fodder.”

“I will let my pets, that Giant Eagle and two Silver Realm Shadow Leopards, help you deal with the powerful Mutated Zombies nearby.”
