"Whoosh!"
As if telepathically connected, Little Qiang returned just then.
Qin Shilei, holding Kong Qingshu, leaped onto Little Qiang's back.
He then took out a healing potion and offered it to her. "Take this first."
Only then did Kong Qingshu feel the pain from multiple parts of her body.
It turned out that on the bridge, her body not protected by the battle skirt had been pierced by debris, and it was still bleeding.
After thanking him, she took the healing potion and swallowed it in one gulp.
Meanwhile, in Commander Fan's office.
"Are you sure Qin Shilei went onto Luyang Bridge?"
"Our people saw him get on the bridge with their own eyes. It just so happens that the Commander-in-Chief's daughter was also on the bridge."
"Even better that she was on the bridge. I heard the other party is also a Black Iron realm evolutionary. We can take the opportunity to kill her, and it will also remove a major support for the Kong family."
"But I'm afraid it will provoke strong retaliation from the Commander-in-Chief."
"What are you afraid of? It's for the safety of Heshan District that we had to order the timely demolition of Luyang Bridge, killing a large group of mutated zombies on the bridge."
"The superior is right. If the bridge wasn't destroyed, the mutated zombies might have caused heavy casualties if they had entered Heshan District."
"Have all the large boats on the Chiyuan River been controlled? If the bridge is destroyed, we can only search for supplies by boat."
"Most of them are under control, but there are too many zombies gathered at the opposite dock. It looks like a tough fight ahead."
...
In less than two minutes, Little Qiang carried Qin Shilei and the others to the sky above the military command center.
At this moment, the golden shield around Qin Shilei would last for another two minutes.
"Stay put here. I'm going down to kill someone first."
After saying that, Qin Shilei jumped down directly towards the position Kong Qingshu pointed out.
As he descended to the same height as Commander Fan's office, Qin Shilei flickered and teleported into Commander Fan's office.
"What a coincidence. I don't even need to waste time looking for you." Qin Shilei greeted the stunned individuals with a raised hand.
"Guards!" the adjutant shouted loudly to the outside.
One of the military officers pressed the alarm inside the office.
Immediately, the alarm blared, and the entire command center entered a state of combat readiness. Countless soldiers rushed towards this place.
"No hurry. I still have one minute and fifty seconds. We can play slowly."
Qin Shilei didn't stop them from calling for reinforcements at all.
This time, he not only intended to kill Commander Fan but also to do so in front of everyone.
He wanted his reputation to echo throughout Nanzhuang City.
Let those petty individuals see the consequences of daring to offend him.
"Get out!" Commander Fan roared, "This is a military restricted area. How can you people barge in as you please?"
He didn't understand why the sound of shelling to demolish the bridge hadn't stopped, yet the other party was unharmed.
He also didn't understand how Qin Shilei could suddenly appear here.
He knew that Qin Shilei was here with ill intentions and was an extremely dangerous person.
Commander Fan now only hoped to scare the other party away, and everything else could be discussed later.
The sound of rapid footsteps echoed, and twenty to thirty people suddenly rushed into the spacious office, making it crowded.
Among them were soldiers with machine guns, evolutionaries with knives and swords, and several people aiming rocket launchers at Qin Shilei.
However, none of this brought Commander Fan and the others any sense of security.
Because in their eyes, Qin Shilei remained calm and composed, looking at them as if they were already dead.
The adjutant, bracing himself, said, "Mr. Qin, please leave immediately. Our Commander Fan will not hold you accountable for trespassing."
"Did you not expect this?" Qin Shilei said indifferently. "Countless shells couldn't blow me up on Luyang Bridge."
"You came from Luyang Bridge?"
Commander Fan's astonishment could no longer be concealed.
Could someone really survive such intense artillery bombardment?
He had initially thought that Qin Shilei had just happened not to be on the bridge and had narrowly escaped. He never expected that the other party had survived the shelling and had come to his doorstep so quickly.
"You are truly insane, ordering the bombardment of Luyang Bridge just to kill me."
Qin Shilei's tone grew colder as he remembered the hundreds of innocent people on the bridge. "Aren't you afraid that those hundreds of innocent souls on the bridge will come back to claim your life?"
Hearing Qin Shilei's words, the group that had just rushed in showed a hint of confusion.
"You're lying," Commander Fan denied vehemently. "The front line clearly reported that Luyang Bridge was about to fall, and a large group of mutated zombies was about to invade Heshan District, which is why we were forced to order the demolition of the bridge."
"Heh."
Qin Shilei sneered, "No need to argue. The truth of the matter is irrelevant. I will kill you today. Go to hell and repent to those people."
Seeing Qin Shilei walking towards him step by step with his sword, Commander Fan hurriedly ordered, "Quick, shoot him to death!"
Da da da!
Countless bullets were fired at Qin Shilei, but they were deflected by the golden shield around him and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Qin Shilei remained unaffected, continuing to walk slowly towards Commander Fan.
"Rocket launcher!" the adjutant, ignoring the fact that they were indoors, roared at the soldiers holding rocket launchers.
Boom, boom, boom!
Violent explosions erupted, and countless fragments scattered. The people in the office scrambled to hide in the corners.
The entire building shook as if it had experienced a major earthquake.
A hole with a diameter of three meters appeared where Qin Shilei had been standing, piercing all the way to the next floor.
Two armor-piercing rounds also passed through the hole and shot into the next floor, blasting a three-meter-wide hole in the floor of the second level below.
As the dust settled, Qin Shilei stood unharmed at the edge of the hole.
Discussions erupted from the crowd.
"Did the other party dodge in time before the explosion?"
"No, I distinctly saw the shell explode on his body."
"Even rocket launchers couldn't kill him. This shield is too strong."
"Alright, it's my turn." Qin Shilei said, then flashed and instantly appeared in front of the adjutant.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a massive head flew through the air, rolling to the side of a trash can in the corner.
"Stop!"
Commander Fan was completely terrified now and shouted, "I am the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Military. If you kill me, the military will pursue you relentlessly."
"Is that so?" Qin Shilei said coldly, "If the military is truly so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, then it will be a relentless pursuit."
He was completely enraged this time.
If he hadn't obtained the substitute doll and fixed the absolute defense, he might have truly died.
Or, if the shells had landed in Chiyuan Haoting, it might have been impossible to save all the people he cared about.
Commander Fan yelled at the soldiers holding knives and swords, "Charge!"
Those individuals were still stunned by Qin Shilei's immense power. Hearing the order now, they instinctively rushed forward.
"Good, come on." How else could others be made to fear him if he didn't kill enough people?
Instant Step! Ghostly Footwork!
Qin Shilei simultaneously activated two speed-boosting skills, turning into a bolt of lightning as he weaved through the crowd.
In less than ten seconds, he had killed seven or eight elite evolutionaries of the army.
"Your turn." Qin Shilei charged towards Commander Fan again.
"Don't kill me, I..." Before he could utter his plea, Qin Shilei's sword severed his head.
Then, with two casual strikes, he stabbed to death the two military officers beside him.
