49: The road ahead is blocked

From the moment Shi Lei stepped into the warehouse, he had been on guard against the other party.

When the other party sent someone to retrieve the longbow, his vigilance had reached its peak.

Before Boss Jin heard the footsteps coming from behind the warehouse, Shi Lei had already heard more than a dozen people running over.

So, just as Boss Jin was about to instruct his subordinates to attack, Shi Lei had already taken an automatic rifle from his ring.

“Tat-tat-tat!”

As a series of sparks shot from the rifle, Boss Jin’s four subordinates unwillingly fell into a pool of blood.

“Bomb them!”

Boss Jin’s furious roar came from behind the container.

He hadn't expected that in such a situation, the other party could still kill three of his elite subordinates.

“Holy crap!”

Shi Lei looked towards the back door of the warehouse and was immediately shocked.

Among the group of people rushing in from the back door, one of them was actually carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

Boss Jin, are you serious?

I'm only one person, you know.

Not only did he call more than a dozen people, but he also deployed a rocket launcher.

Instant Step!

Shi Lei transformed into a phantom and dodged behind a nearby container to his left.

“Boom!”

Shi Lei, hiding behind the container, felt the container behind him shake.

The rocket exploded at the spot where Shi Lei had just stood, scattering the rice and flour he had piled on the ground.

Then, the flour caused a secondary dust explosion.

A wave of heat instantly swept over his head.

Shi Lei flashed and dodged to another container further away.

“Boom!”

Another rocket hit the other side of the container Shi Lei had just been behind.

A one-meter wide hole was blasted through the back of the container.

“Whoosh!”

A sharp arrow shot in from the window on the right side of the warehouse.

One of Boss Jin’s subordinates fell, struck by the arrow.

“Tat-tat-tat.”

The group immediately turned their guns and fired out the window.

Xie Haimei, outside the window, had already moved to another window and looked inside.

A scene that left her dumbfounded appeared before her eyes.

Shi Lei rushed out from behind the container, and while rapidly rushing towards another container, he drew his bow and fired arrows.

First, an arrow struck the throat of the enemy carrying the rocket launcher, then the second and third arrows killed two enemies who were preparing to shoot him.

After dodging behind the container, he even managed to shoot an arrow, which curved around the container and killed another enemy.

Then he rushed out from the other side of the container, and again, while moving at high speed, casually shot and killed two enemies who were about to pick up the rocket launcher.

The remaining seven or eight enemies frantically fired at both sides of the container where Shi Lei was located.

Protective Shield!

A transparent eggshell appeared around Shi Lei’s body.

He lightly jumped onto the container.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

With each twang of the bowstring, the number of enemies decreased by one.

“He’s on top.” Boss Jin’s voice came from behind the container.

“Tat-tat-tat.”

Everyone immediately turned their guns, preparing to shoot at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei pushed hard and jumped down from the container.

As he jumped down, he casually shot and killed two of the last five enemies.

As for the few bullets fired at him, they were deflected by the protective shield.

The remaining three enemies then frantically hid behind the containers on both sides.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”

Unfortunately, they hid too late.

Before they could hide, Shi Lei had already seen them, and the three arrows he casually shot accurately hit their throats as if equipped with tracking radar.

“Mr. Qin, Dark Moon admits defeat this time. How about we let this matter go?” Boss Jin’s voice came from behind the container.

“Not good.” Shi Lei replied indifferently.

Boss Jin said in a deep voice, “Does Mr. Qin really want to go against our Dark Moon?”

Shi Lei sneered, “Now it’s your Dark Moon that wants my life.”

“This is my fault.” Boss Jin’s tone carried a hint of sincerity, “Let this Bloodline Awakening Pill be my ransom. I hope it can quell your anger. Please catch it.”

After Boss Jin finished speaking, he turned and flashed out from behind the container, simultaneously raising his hand, preparing to throw the object in his hand towards Shi Lei.

“Whoosh!” A swift arrow accurately hit the opponent’s right wrist.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, Boss Jin was blown to pieces by the bomb in his hand.

The Dark Moon’s black market was not far from here. To avoid being cornered by the other party, Shi Lei quickly took off their rings and strung them together with a rope.

There were also the firearms on the ground, the rocket launcher, and the remaining two rockets.

After collecting the spoils of war, he turned and ran out of the warehouse.

Soon after leaving the warehouse, he heard sounds of fighting coming from where they had parked their cars.

Turning the corner, he saw Zhang Qiang and his group being besieged by twenty to thirty people.

Zhang Qiang was at the very front, blocking most of the enemies with a round shield and a short spear.

Shi Lei instantly took out his exquisite short bow, and while running towards them, he drew his bow and fired arrows.

The leader instructed his subordinates, “Another archer has arrived. A few of you go and take him out.”

Shi Lei completely ignored the few enemies running towards him and continued to shoot at the enemies besieging An Qian and her group.

In three seconds, Shi Lei fired nine arrows, killing nine people, which greatly reduced the pressure on An Qian and her group.

At this moment, the five people had already reached him.

Shi Lei sidestepped to avoid a downward chop, and simultaneously, his short bow was replaced by the Seven Star Sword.

“Die!”

The Seven Star Sword in Shi Lei’s hand moved through the crowd like a swimming dragon, and as the blade swept past, cries of agony rang out.

In less than three seconds, all five people lay on the ground, blood gushing from their chests or necks.

Looking up, An Qian and her group had also killed all the enemies in front of them.

“Haimei!” Zhang Qiang shouted in alarm.

Shi Lei concentrated and listened, faintly hearing footsteps coming from around the corner of the road to the left.

“This way.” He pushed off with his foot, covering four or five meters in one stride, and rushed over there.

Turning the corner, he saw Xie Haimei constantly dodging the pursuit and encirclement of two enemies behind her.

“Whoosh, whoosh.”

Shi Lei quickly drew his bow and fired two arrows, shooting down the two people who had almost cut Xie Haimei.

“Let’s leave first.” Shi Lei said to Zhang Qiang and the other person who were hugging, then turned and ran back to An Qian and her group.

The few of them switched to two cars and sped away into the distance.

An Qian, in the back seat, speculated, “They should be from Apocalypse Home. It seems they were targeting Zhang Qiang and his group from the beginning.”

Shi Lei said with some apology, “We implicated Zhang Qiang and his group. With the addition of the Dark Moon organization, Zhang Qiang and his group will probably find it difficult to continue staying in Ningan City.”

After they were far from that place, when Zhang Qiang learned that he and his companion might be hunted by Apocalypse Home and Dark Moon.

He said indifferently, “We don’t necessarily have to stay in Ningan City. We’ll just leave with you, and when we find a suitable place, we’ll leave again.”

Although he spoke lightly, they were accustomed to staying in Ningan City, and Ningan City had already been largely conquered by the military, with order beginning to be established there.

Ningan City was temporarily an excellent safe haven in the apocalypse, and unless absolutely necessary, they were unwilling to leave.

Xie Haimei then spoke up, “Qin Dage, do you happen to have any medicine or anything? Zhang Qiang is injured.”

Everyone looked and saw two knife wounds on his thigh and lower back, which were only casually wrapped with some cloth strips and were still bleeding profusely.

“Let me do it.” Xiaoli reached out and placed her hand on Zhang Qiang’s wounds. A green light emanated, and not long after, his wounds scabbed over and stopped bleeding.

Xie Haimei sprinkled some more medicinal powder on him and re-bandaged him.

“I never expected Zhang Qiang to suffer such serious injuries just to protect An Qian and her group.” Shi Lei’s impression of Zhang Qiang improved even further.

After healing the wounds, Shi Lei spoke again, “Alright then, we’ll cross Ningan City now and continue heading west.”

After adding some fuel to the sedan, Shi Lei started the car again.

When they arrived at the westernmost part of Ningan City, they found that the road ahead was lined with fully armed soldiers, building a long defensive line with abandoned cars.

Looking into the distance, dozens of meters away was an endless expanse of zombies, but those zombies had actually overcome their bloodthirsty desires and had not rushed over.

This was their direction towards Tongquan City. What should they do now?
