95: He Kaige joins

He Kaige looked at Qin Shi Lei's upright back as if he were looking at a peerless master from a wuxia novel.

The sight of him leaping from the rooftop and decisively stabbing Dong Yuanliang to death with a single sword deeply shocked him.

The first time they met, when Qin Shi Lei displayed his strength by slaying zombies, He Kaige only thought that Qin Shi Lei was very strong.

Now, he realized he had underestimated his strength.

Dong Yuanliang had severely wounded him in just a few moves.

Yet, how long had Qin Shi Lei been in the villa? It couldn't have been more than ten seconds.

He had already forced Ice King's capable subordinate to jump from the building.

Even after jumping, he couldn't escape the fate of being pierced through the heart by Qin Shi Lei's sword.

"What are you spacing out for? If you don't get treated, you'll die."

Qin Shi Lei's faint voice suddenly rang in He Kaige's ears.

"Uh!"

Only then did He Kaige remember that his chest was still bleeding profusely.

He quickly called over a younger brother to apply medicine and bandage his wound.

At this moment, An Qian had just killed Yan Gongyue's last subordinate.

She walked over and reprimanded, "Why did you jump down directly? You scared me."

Qin Shi Lei smiled and said, "It's nothing. A mere ten meters high won't hurt me."

"That's good. I'm going to check on my mother." An Qian turned and entered the villa.

"I'm also going to check on my pet. You arrange for someone to clean up." Qin Shi Lei also turned and entered the villa.

At this moment, Thin Monkey walked up to He Kaige and said in a deep voice, "Boss, we lost eighteen men. There are eleven left here."

The tattooed man chimed in, "If it weren't for forty or fifty brothers out killing zombies, we definitely would have routed them completely."

"Alas, if Qin Shi Lei and An Qian hadn't returned in time, we would have been completely annihilated by now," He Kaige said with a mournful expression.

While He Kaige arranged for people to clean up, Qin Shi Lei fed Xiaoqiang medicine and gave him a simple bandage.

When Qin Shi Lei came down from the rooftop, he found a pale-faced He Kaige sitting in the hall on the first floor.

As soon as he saw Qin Shi Lei, he immediately stood up, but due to his injuries, he weakly slumped back onto the sofa.

"Qin Dage, I don't know if you'd mind, but I'd like to bring my brothers and join you."

"Oh." Qin Shi Lei was stunned. "Your Heaven Wolf Gang is doing quite well. Why do you suddenly want to join me?"

He Kaige said dejectedly, "My own strength is meager, making it difficult to protect my brothers. Only under a master like Qin Dage can we live better."

"These people came for revenge because of you, didn't they?"

Qin Shi Lei said faintly, "That person just now seemed to be Ice King's subordinate. If you're afraid of them seeking revenge, you can push the blame onto me then."

He Kaige's expression changed.

This was also the main reason he wanted to join Qin Shi Lei's team. Now that Qin Shi Lei had stated it so bluntly, he felt a bit embarrassed.

He Kaige pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Qin Dage, I sincerely want to join you. Please take us in."

"I currently have 67 brothers, all of whom have killed hundreds of zombies. Not a single one is a coward."

"As for their character, I can't guarantee they would all sacrifice themselves for their brothers, but they would definitely never betray them."

Qin Shi Lei looked directly into his eyes, tapping his right index finger lightly on the sofa.

After a while, he nodded and replied, "Alright, I hope we can become comrades who can entrust our backs to each other."

Just then, a slightly plump man in a military uniform walked in from outside the house.

"Report, my name is Mu Ziping, and I am your adjutant, Regiment Commander. This is my identification."

Mu Ziping finished speaking and handed over a small booklet with both hands.

Qin Shi Lei casually flipped through the booklet, then pointed to the sofa, "Sit down. I wonder who the members of the 007 Regiment are?"

Mu Ziping replied, "They are basically Evolution users living nearby. The military has already notified them, and they will gather at the nearby square at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I hope those people are sensible tomorrow." A sharp glint flashed in Qin Shi Lei's eyes.

"Regiment Commander, I live in apartment 1203 of that tall building in the residential area. You can call me if anything comes up. I'll take my leave now."

After explaining some specific details about the 007 Regiment's construction, Mu Ziping bid farewell.

Not long after, a government official found He Kaige:

"You and the Heaven Wolf Gang members have been assigned to the 007 Regiment."

"Please be sure to arrive at the square in front by 7:50 AM tomorrow to be reviewed by the Regiment Commander."

"Failure to arrive on time will result in expulsion from Nanzhuang City."

After the official left, another military officer, who claimed to be an adjutant, approached An Qian.

He also explained some details about the team to An Qian, then found a place nearby to stay.

After He Kaige left, Qin Shi Lei took out the Bloodthirsty Military Flag.

[Do you want to refresh the entries?]

[Refresh.]

Waving the Flag and Shouting (Green): Once someone holds the military flag, waves it, and shouts "Oli Ge!" loudly, the military flag will additionally increase the members' strength by ten percent.

Blowing the Horn (Green): If someone blows the horn of attack within one meter of the military flag, the military flag will additionally increase the members' speed by ten percent.

Deterrence (Red): The area covered by the military flag will weaken the enemy's attributes by ten percent.

This is truly good. With me weakening and them strengthening, the enemies will probably be in despair.

Qin Shi Lei chose to fix the Deterrence entry.

Then he took out the contract scroll that Dong Yuanliang had dropped on the rooftop.

contract scroll (Green): Can be used to contract pets. The success rate varies with the difference in strength between both parties.

[Do you want to refresh the entries?]

[Refresh.]

Enhance (Blue): Increases the success rate of contracting pets.

Copy (Green): Copies an identical contract scroll.

Soul Control (Red): Can take humans as pets, provided the other party has no resistance whatsoever.

Qin Shi Lei looked at the red glowing entry and fell into contemplation.

Does the system want him to contract a sexy female slave?

But in the apocalypse, just offering a bit of food would have countless beautiful women scrambling to get into your bed, so there's no need to waste a contract scroll.

Or perhaps secretly taking military bigwigs as pets to control the military?

However, soldiers' wills are very firm, so it might be difficult to succeed.

Qin Shi Lei thought for a moment, then put away the contract scroll. He would consider fixing that entry when it became useful later.

Suspension Boots (Green): When jumping or falling from a height, you can gain three seconds of suspension time. Cooldown: thirty minutes.

These white sneakers were also obtained from Dong Yuanliang.

No wonder he chose to jump from the building without hesitation.

[Do you want to refresh the entries?]

[Refresh.]

Brand New (White): Do you dislike these shoes because someone else wore them? If you choose this entry, the sneakers will become the latest model of casual shoes, fresh from the factory.

Thousand-Catty Drop (Green): Stomping down, heavy as a thousand catties, can make your lower body as stable as Mount Tai. Cooldown: thirty minutes.

Cloud Ladder (Green): As long as you step your left foot on your right foot, and then your right foot on your left foot, you can achieve the effect of the Cloud Ladder, leaping twenty meters high. Cooldown: thirty minutes.

Qin Shi Lei thought for a moment and chose the Cloud Ladder entry.

Although the movements for performing this skill were a bit strange, it was still a very practical skill.
