96: Deterrence Corps

These days, Qin Shi Lei also fixed some entries for some not-so-good equipment.

For example, Zhang Qiang re-fixed a Rapid entry.

Rapid (Green): Increases flight speed by 30% for three minutes, with a two-hour cooldown.

Because his loyalty had already risen to 97, he no longer needed the Diehard entry.

He also fixed a Self-Repair entry for the armored vehicle.

Under the effect of this entry, the hole on the armored vehicle's roof had already been repaired.

The zombie king meat was fixed with a Fresh entry; otherwise, it would have spoiled and smelled bad long ago.

The zombie king's brain marrow had no suitable entry, but fortunately, it was rarely used and could be kept fresh by the Spatial Ring.

The next morning.

Qin Shi Lei and the others arrived at the assembly square on time.

He Kaige, after being treated by Zhang Xiaoli, also followed, supported by his subordinates.

This was a square paved with marble.

On it were two very uneven large formations.

To the east were the members of the 007 Regiment, and to the west were the members of the 018 Regiment.

"Zhang Qiang, you guys accompany An Qian to the 018 Regiment."

Qin Shi Lei hoped that Zhang Qiang and his group could help An Qian keep the members of the 018 Regiment in check.

He himself walked alone to the front of the formation.

Mu Ziping saluted and reported, "Reporting to the Regiment Commander, the entire regiment has 1500 people, with 1275 present. Please give your instructions."

Although the military strictly required all regiment members to assemble on time, there were still over two hundred people who had not arrived.

Perhaps they had just died yesterday, or they had gone out to kill zombies yesterday and had not received the notice in time, or they had deserted.

These were not things Qin Shi Lei needed to worry about.

Mu Ziping held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly, "Silence! Silence!"

But the crowd below paid no attention, chatting loudly with their friends and relatives.

Some people also looked at Qin Shi Lei with scrutinizing expressions.

"Is this our damn Regiment Commander?"

"I wonder if he's a connected person in the military?"

"Wearing a gaudy gold outfit, truly vulgar to the extreme."

"He's quite handsome, though. If he could be my male concubine, I'd be willing to call him Regiment Commander."

"Regiment Commander? Hmph!"

The people below were all civilian Evolutionaries, and no one liked suddenly having a Regiment Commander above them.

Their timely assembly was only due to military pressure, but to expect them to be disciplined and follow orders strictly, even a military bigwig might not be able to achieve it.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry came from the sky.

A huge Crimson Eagle swooped down from the sky, its target precisely Qin Shi Lei on the high platform.

The crowd below took out their weapons and stood ready, but they only watched with cold eyes.

No one wanted to go onto the platform to fight with their Regiment Commander.

As Zhang Qiang swept past him, Qin Shi Lei stomped his foot hard and leaped onto Zhang Qiang's back.

At his signal, Zhang Qiang carried him soaring in circles in the sky for several rounds.

Then, with another swoop, Zhang Qiang flew past three or four meters above everyone's heads.

As Zhang Qiang swooped, a military flag instantly appeared in Qin Shi Lei's hand.

Under the various mutated animal meats provided by Qin Shi Lei, Zhang Qiang had grown even larger.

His wingspan reached seven or eight meters, and his strength had also recovered to the Bronze Realm this morning.

As Zhang Qiang flew over their heads, the crowd below the square felt a suffocating aura rush over them.

The timid ones even trembled all over, almost fleeing in panic.

Looking at Qin Shi Lei flying across the sky, even those powerful Evolutionaries were incomparably shocked.

Their entire strength seemed to suddenly weaken by a few points.

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

This was the entry attached to the military flag.

Qin Shi Lei, holding the military flag, temporarily regarded the people below as enemies, so those within 100 meters of the military flag would have their strength weakened by ten percent.

When Qin Shi Lei jumped back onto the high platform from Zhang Qiang's back, the square below became incomparably silent.

"I, Qin Shi Lei, am the Regiment Commander of the 007 Regiment. If anyone is unconvinced, you may step forward."

After waiting for a long time, no one dared to step forward.

"My pet will not attack. Whoever can withstand three moves from me, I will give this Regiment Commander position to him," Qin Shi Lei spoke again.

"Your tone is a bit too arrogant, isn't it?" A Bearded Man stepped forward.

"I also want to test the Regiment Commander's depth," a seductive woman also stepped forward.

"Three moves? Heh heh." Another gloomy-faced young man walked out.

In a short while, twenty or thirty people had walked out to the front of the formation.

These people were all very confident in their own strength.

Although they felt they couldn't defeat Qin Shi Lei's pet, and possibly not even Qin Shi Lei himself.

But to say they couldn't even withstand three moves from Qin Shi Lei, they simply didn't believe it.

Qin Shi Lei smiled and said, "Do you want a martial contest or a civil contest?"

Someone asked, "What about a martial contest, and what about a civil contest?"

Qin Shi Lei said indifferently, "A martial contest means you can use your strongest combat skills, and life and death are up to fate. A civil contest means everything is allowed except for the use of combat skills."

After hearing Qin Shi Lei's words, everyone felt a chill rise from their bodies.

Combat skills, for heaven's sake!

They had only heard of combat skills on the system, but let alone possessing them, they had never even seen anyone use combat skills.

Is this Regiment Commander planning to kill all of us who want to take his position?

"Regiment Commander, a civil contest is better, to avoid hurting everyone's feelings," Mu Ziping quickly advised.

"Yes, yes, let's choose a civil contest," the crowd below responded in unison.

Qin Shi Lei said indifferently, "Alright then, you all come up together."

"Too arrogant!"

"Each of us could drown him with a single spit."

"Does he have an ability that can instantly kill us?"

"Don't be silly, who would have such a powerful ability at this stage?"

Feeling underestimated, the angry crowd walked onto the high platform.

Qin Shi Lei stood with empty hands and said indifferently, "You can freely activate your abilities. Begin."

"Since you're looking for death, don't blame us."

Immediately, everyone mercilessly threw various abilities at Qin Shi Lei.

Ice cones, fireballs, earth spikes, and other projectiles whistled as they struck towards Qin Shi Lei.

Those without long-range attacks also imbued their weapons with abilities and quickly rushed towards Qin Shi Lei.

One-Punch Man!

Qin Shi Lei activated the strongest entry on his body.

In an instant, his figure disappeared from the high platform.

The ice cones and fireballs all missed their target and flew beyond the high platform.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as those people were looking left and right for Qin Shi Lei's figure, they suddenly felt a huge force strike their stomachs. Their bodies involuntarily flew into the air and fell off the high platform.

In less than ten seconds, only Qin Shi Lei remained standing proudly on the entire high platform.

Above and below the platform, it suddenly became completely silent.

Strong, incomparably strong!

This was the only thought left in everyone's minds.

Without even using half an ability, he had knocked down over twenty eight-star and nine-star Evolutionaries with bare hands.

Fortunately, they had chosen a civil contest; otherwise, there might have been over twenty corpses lying there now.
