36: Rescue Zhang Yong
Most of these crystals were obtained today from killing zombies with the excavator; now he finally had time to absorb them.
Over an hour later.
Name: Qin Shilei
Level: Black Iron Eight Star
Experience: 124/500
Cultivation Method: None
Qin Shilei took out a force measuring device he had picked up today from the gym above the Supermarket.
He threw a punch, and it displayed 1985 jin.
This was an increase of about 257 jin compared to before he leveled up.
This strength was truly becoming more and more inhuman.
Zhang Xiaoli also reached Six Star, and her strength increased by several folds, far surpassing most people.
After assigning the night watch, the three of them took turns returning to their rooms to rest.
The rats outside squeaked all night until dawn, when the rustling sounds finally stopped.
An Qian hesitated, then finally mustered the courage to say, "Qin Shilei, you'll pass through Ningan City on your way to take Zhang Xiaoli home. Can you take us with you?"
Qin Shilei readily replied, "Yes, as long as you don't cause trouble."
An Qian was the first person he encountered after transmigrating, and the Seven Star Sword in his hand was given by her. In any case, she was his benefactor.
Hearing him agree, An Qian's suspended heart immediately settled.
She and Zhang Yong had walked for four days to reach Donglin Town, but Qin Shilei caught up to them in one day.
Following Qin Shilei would surely allow her to return home faster.
Now, all that was left was to find Zhang Yong.
Zhang Xiaoli said with a strange expression, "Look at the chat channel."
"An Qian, run! Don't come to Huimin Supermarket! Fei Biao and his people are all at Huimin Supermarket!"
"An Qian, don't worry about me. When you get home, please take care of my parents for me."
"An Qian, farewell! My dearest love!"
"Little beauty, if you don't appear before me within half an hour, I'll immediately slaughter your companion."
"An Qian, did you see that? Run!"
The three looked at each other in dismay.
Zhang Yong kept telling An Qian to run, but then he also stated that he was captured by Fei Biao and even specified the location.
He clearly wanted An Qian to rescue him.
If he truly cared about An Qian, he would have just said he left alone and told her to be careful.
He was even afraid his messages would be covered up, so he repeated them from time to time.
An Qian looked up and said, "Can you wait for me for a bit? I'll go rescue Zhang Yong first. I'll separate from him then."
Qin Shilei praised her, "You two are teammates. It's good that you don't abandon your teammates in this apocalypse. We'll accompany you to save him, and then the three of us will set off together."
Riding the Thunder Dragon, they once again walked onto the streets of Donglin Town, clearly feeling that there were fewer rats on the street.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Qin Shilei and the others stopped their vehicle over a hundred meters from Huimin Supermarket and proceeded on foot.
They arrived at the third floor of a building not far from the Supermarket, pulled back the curtains a little, and observed the situation in front of the Supermarket's main entrance.
Over a hundred people stood in front of the Supermarket with large and small bags.
Fei Biao and his twenty to thirty men were in the center of the crowd, and the bruised and swollen Zhang Yong was among them.
His hands were tied behind his back, and a tattooed man next to him occasionally kicked him.
"Are they planning to leave this town?" Zhang Xiaoli asked doubtfully.
"They were probably scared by the rats last night and are preparing to move to another place," An Qian guessed.
She paused, then added, "I'm going down to save him now."
Qin Shilei pulled her back, raising the short bow in his hand, and smiled, "Today, I'll let you witness the divine skill of Hundred Steps Piercing Willow."
He looked outside, then turned his head and asked, "Which one is Fei Biao?"
An Qian looked over there, shook her head, and replied, "It's too far, I can't tell."
From this building to the Supermarket, it was dozens of meters, and Fei Biao stood in the middle of a group of strong men, making him difficult to identify.
Then let's start with the person next to Zhang Yong.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot through the half-open window, flying rapidly towards the Supermarket opposite.
"Ah!"
A strong man next to Zhang Yong fell, struck by the arrow, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The crowd immediately became chaotic.
Most of the people ran back into the Supermarket.
Fei Biao and his group, however, looked around angrily.
Swish, swish, three more arrows flew over, striking down three more people.
From An Qian's account, Fei Biao and his group were all thugs and hooligans, and they had ill intentions towards An Qian. Qin Shilei felt no guilt in taking action.
"Which bastard is that? Get out here!"
Fei Biao's angry roar could be heard from a long distance.
His response was three arrows.
Three more people fell beside him.
"The arrows are coming from over there."
Someone pointed towards Qin Shilei's location.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"
More than ten people started shooting wildly at Qin Shilei's building while running towards it.
Fei Biao took seven or eight people and ran into the Supermarket.
Before leaving, he instructed his subordinates, "Bring that student."
Three subordinates ran towards Zhang Yong.
What greeted them were three rapidly approaching arrows.
Zhang Yong wasn't too stupid; seeing that his captors were dead, he turned and tried to escape into the distance.
Fei Biao, who was rough but also observant, noticed that the archer had killed everyone next to Zhang Yong.
"Could the other party be Zhang Yong's accomplice?"
Suspicion arose, and he turned and fired a shot, not caring about the result, then turned and entered the Supermarket.
The unlucky Zhang Yong was hit in the calf by Fei Biao's casual shot and instantly fell to the ground.
Qin Shilei shot three more arrows, then hid behind the wall.
"Bang!"
The glass where he had just been was shattered by a gunshot.
Qin Shilei crouched, moved to the next room, and slowly opened the window.
He stood up, quickly shot three arrows, then hid behind the wall again.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"
There were a few more gunshots, and the room's glass was shattered again.
Qin Shilei carefully poked out half his head and looked out.
The remaining eight or nine people were already terrified by Qin Shilei's unerring archery and turned to run back the way they came.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
He drew his bow and shot, the arrows chasing those people like lightning.
Even though those strong men ran extremely fast, none could escape Qin Shilei's fatal arrows.
The remaining three people, in a panic, quickly hid behind a large tree by the roadside.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow curved and shot down the person behind the large tree.
"I surrender! Please let me go!"
The other two completely broke down, raised their hands, and loudly begged for mercy.
This archer was simply not human.
He had shot nearly twenty arrows, and not only were they all fatal, but even those hiding behind large trees could not escape.
Even now, they hadn't even seen the other party's face, nor did they know if it was a man or a woman.
They simply couldn't muster the slightest courage to face such an enemy.
Unfortunately, Qin Shilei did not accept prisoners and casually shot two more fatal arrows.
An Qian, who was hiding behind the wall, asked, "What happened to Zhang Yong?"
Qin Shilei looked carefully over there and said with some apology, "He seems to have been shot in the leg and is now crawling away into the distance."
He had originally wanted to catch Fei Biao off guard, making him unable to bother with Zhang Yong.
Facing an unknown powerful enemy, if Fei Biao and his group only cared about escaping, Zhang Yong would have a great chance to escape on his own.
This would avoid directly confronting twenty to thirty armed thugs.
An Qian stood by the window, observed for a while, and said, "You support me from here; I'll go down and rescue Zhang Yong."
Qin Shilei quickly pulled back An Qian, who was about to go downstairs, "I'll go down instead. You and Zhang Xiaoli stay here."
Then he turned to Zhang Xiaoli and said, "You hold this bow. If anyone dares to show their head, shoot them to death."
