38: Weird village

Being so close and still daring to turn his back to him, Fei Biao unhesitatingly chose to shoot and kill.

Immediately after killing Mo Deyi and his group, Fei Biao sprinted towards Qin Shilei.

As he ran, he threatened, "Don't run! If you run again, I'll shoot."

He didn't forget to instruct one of his subordinates, "You drive the car and cut him off up ahead."

It wasn't until Qin Shilei was over a hundred meters away from the gas station that he stopped the Thunder Dragon and told An Qian and the others to hide in a house by the side of the road.

He turned and waved with a smile at Fei Biao, who was sprinting towards him.

A short bow instantly appeared in his hand.

One of the subordinates' faces changed drastically, and he said in a panic, "Boss, he wouldn't happen to be that marksman, would he?"

Before Fei Biao could reply, several sharp arrows shot over like lightning.

"Run!"

Terrified by the marksman, everyone turned and fled into the distance.

Fei Biao even ran ahead of his subordinates.

Listening to his subordinates falling one by one behind him, cold sweat instantly covered his entire body.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Fei Biao's heart hardened, and he turned around to shoot at Qin Shilei in the distance.

A transparent shield appeared on Qin Shilei's body, deflecting two bullets that happened to be aimed at his arm.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

One arrow struck Fei Biao's right hand, which was holding the gun, and another struck his left foot.

Fei Biao immediately fell to his knees, and the gun in his hand dropped to the side.

The dust settled.

All of Fei Biao's subordinates were dead; even the one who drove the car over was killed by an arrow while still in the car.

"An Qian, Zhang Xiaoli, come over."

Qin Shilei shouted towards the house.

Fei Biao stared at Qin Shilei, who was steadily approaching, and cursed loudly, "Brat, even if I die, you won't have it easy! I'll be waiting for you in hell."

"Whoosh!"

His response was an arrow that shot towards his left hand.

"Ah!"

A pistol dropped from his left hand, which he had hidden behind his back.

"When the enemy isn't completely dead, you can never let your guard down."

Qin Shilei taught the two women a lesson using a real event, then paused and said to An Qian, "An Qian, you go send him off."

He didn't know if An Qian had ever killed anyone, so he deliberately left Fei Biao alive for An Qian to experience bloodshed.

An Qian had indeed never killed anyone, but when she thought of the man's lewd gaze, and the living hell she would face if she fell into his hands, there was not the slightest hesitation in her sword-wielding hand.

She pierced through his chest with one strike.

Fei Biao twitched a few times, then lay on the ground with wide, staring eyes.

After collecting the spoils, they then filled a large quantity of gasoline at the gas station using the large plastic barrels typically found in a Supermarket.

Qin Shilei shook a string of car keys in his hand and said, "Today, we'll also ride in a luxury car."

Zhang Xiaoli pouted and refused, "I still prefer riding the motorcycle with the natural wind blowing; it's more comfortable."

An Qian took the car keys and chuckled, "She likes holding your waist for a ride, so let me drive alone behind you two."

Zhang Xiaoli quickly defended herself, "I did not!"

Qin Shilei was the first to get into the passenger seat of the nearby off-road vehicle, "We can ride the motorcycle anytime; today, I want to experience a luxury car first."

In his previous life, Qin Shilei had only ridden in sedans costing a little over a hundred thousand, but now that he had the opportunity, he was determined to enjoy a million-dollar luxury car.

Two hours later, Qin Shilei had no choice but to switch back to the Thunder Dragon.

There were simply too many abandoned cars on the provincial road; while the Thunder Dragon could barely get through, the off-road vehicle required them to get out and walk to pass.

After a simple lunch, the three switched back to the off-road vehicle and continued their journey under the scorching sun.

This time, Zhang Xiaoli was driving, and Qin Shilei still sat in the passenger seat, helping to keep watch.

6:30 PM.

The group, having stopped and started, had already arrived at Yangliu Village, thirty li outside of Ningan City.

At their current speed, it would be difficult to reach Ningan City before dark, so the three decided to rest here for the night.

Zhang Xiaoli looked around and said with some confusion, "This village is also very strange; we haven't seen any zombies yet."

An Qian said with lingering fear, "It wouldn't be another rat's nest, would it?"

Qin Shilei also looked left and right, "It shouldn't be; we haven't found a single rat yet. However, there are two very large trees at both ends of the village."

After speaking, he pointed towards the east and west ends of the village; the two giant trees, which seemed to cover the sky, were visible from afar.

Just then, from another direction in Yangliu Village, a modified off-road vehicle sped towards them.

The off-road vehicle's windows were welded with iron mesh as thick as a finger, and its front and rear bumpers had been replaced with thick steel plates.

With a sudden brake, the off-road vehicle stopped beside the Thunder Dragon.

A tall, muscular man, over 1.9 meters tall, got out of the passenger seat, "Hello, are you villagers from this village? Why aren't there any zombies here?"

Qin Shilei got out of the car and replied, "We're just passing through; we're also wondering why there are no zombies in this village."

"Then, excuse me."

The strong man finished speaking and was about to get back into the car.

An Qian stepped forward and asked, "Are you from Ningan City? How is Ningan City now?"

"Yes, we are."

The strong man turned around and replied, "Most of Ningan City has been recaptured by the army; we're out here to kill zombies and collect crystals."

"Has Songshan District, Tianhe Garden, been recaptured? Do you know the situation there?" An Qian's voice trembled slightly.

The strong man thought for a moment and said, "That area has also been recaptured, but I don't know the specific situation."

Another tall beauty got out of the back seat, "Boss, it's getting dark soon; let's find a place to stay first."

The strong man nodded to Qin Shilei, then returned to the off-road vehicle with the tall beauty, Xie Haimei.

Xie Haimei, the tall beauty, said somewhat enviously, "Boss, are you seeing that girl is pretty and can't bear to come back?"

Zhang Qiang replied indifferently, "The other party just asked me about the situation in Ningan City."

The driver, Zhao Peng, teased, "Xie Haimei, you should consider me instead. Boss, this quiet fellow isn't suitable for you."

"Scram!"

Xie Haimei only replied with one word.

There was also a man and a woman in the back seat, only concerned with their affections, completely uninterested in joining the conversation of the other three.

Zhang Qiang and his group quickly settled down in a small villa in Yangliu Village.

Qin Shilei also stopped at another small villa not far from them.

In the apocalypse, both sides maintained a certain level of vigilance towards outsiders.

After briefly tidying up the kitchen, Qin Shilei continuously pulled out various ingredients from his spatial ring.

Zhang Xiaoli rubbed her fists, ready to show off her cooking skills, "Tonight, we'll have a good meal."

An Qian looked enviously at the ring in Qin Shilei's hand.

Although she didn't know the exact capacity, it must be very, very large. She had personally seen him store several cars from the gas station inside it.

Soon, a rich aroma wafted from the villa, spreading throughout a good portion of Yangliu Village.

Smelling the aroma in the air, Zhao Peng took a fierce bite of the bread in his hand, "This is outrageous! Why does he have two beautiful girls accompanying him and get to eat such a fragrant dinner, while I have to chew on hard bread?"

Xie Haimei said discontentedly, "Aren't Zhong Ting and I beauties?"

"Yes, yes, yes, but unfortunately, you're not mine," Zhao Peng sighed and replied.

Zhang Qiang looked out from the balcony, "Stop joking around, finish eating quickly. Before it gets dark, we need to thoroughly check this village. I always feel like something isn't right."

Meanwhile, an uninvited guest arrived at Qin Shilei's side.

"Give me a bowl of hot soup and a plate of dishes to go with wine, and I'll tell you something vital that concerns life and death."

In front of the main door, a middle-aged man in a long robe with disheveled long hair immediately asked for food.

"Alright."

Qin Shilei turned around and brought him a large bowl of thick soup and a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Don't go out after dark."

The middle-aged man took the items, leaving behind this cryptic sentence.
