The night was deep and silent.
Qin Shilei tiptoed out of his room again.
He reached Zhang Xiaoli's door and twisted it gently. The door opened.
As soon as Qin Shilei stepped into the room, several vines coiled around his feet.
"Does this girl like bondage games?" Qin Shilei chuckled inwardly, letting the vines bind him tightly.
The door, without any wind, closed and locked itself.
Zhang Xiaoli giggled, "How dare the audacious pervert trespass into this lady's room."
Qin Shilei pleaded, "Mercy, esteemed lady. This humble student was momentarily disoriented and entered the wrong room. I shall leave now."
"Hmph!" Zhang Xiaoli pouted, "You think you can leave after entering this lady's room? Dream on."
Qin Shilei said lecherously, "Then what are your demands, esteemed lady? I will satisfy them all. I am skilled in eighteen kinds of martial arts, surely there is something you will like."
"Hmph!" Zhang Xiaoli snorted, "It seems you are quite experienced."
She paused and then said, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. I sentence you to stand all night. Don't break my vines, or I won't speak to you anymore."
With that, she pulled up the covers and closed her eyes.
"An inch of time in spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, this is not good."
"My legs are numb, please retract the vines. I'll teach you the art of bondage later."
"Hey, did you really fall asleep?"
Before long, Qin Shilei actually heard Zhang Xiaoli's faint snores.
Qin Shilei's heart stirred, and he suddenly appeared under the covers.
The vines, having lost their target, did not fall but remained suspended in the air as they were.
"You're quite convincing, even snoring."
Qin Shilei chuckled lightly, but his hands reached out from under the covers.
"Why did you turn off the lights? Let me see you properly."
"No."
"You're quite adept with these vines."
"Do you want me to play the art of bondage on you? My vines can fully satisfy you."
"....... You can't tie me down. Don't try anything."
"Hmph, bullying me just because you can teleport."
........
The next day, Qin Shilei emerged from Zhang Xiaoli's room refreshed.
But as soon as he closed the door, his face fell.
"Hmph, look at you showing off." An Qian snorted and walked towards the stairs.
Qin Shilei shamelessly chased after her, "For fairness, how about I sleep between you two tonight?"
An Qian rolled her eyes, "Who wants that? Get lost."
Qin Shilei continued to flirt, "It's me who wants you."
Saying that, he tried to embrace and kiss her.
But An Qian firmly pushed him away with both hands, "You stink! Go wash up quickly, or you're not allowed to kiss me."
"As you command, I'll go wash up immediately." The slight worry in Qin Shilei's heart finally subsided, and he turned back to his room.
"Hmph, you got lucky," An Qian said coquettishly again.
Since they had decided to share Qin Shilei, An Qian, though still holding some reservations, tried her best to accept the situation.
After breakfast, the members of the Rocky battle group crossed the Chiyuan River again and continued to kill zombies.
At noon.
An Qian brought a man in his forties to Qin Shilei.
"Shilei, this man was rescued from a basement. He has important intelligence."
The man was short and stout, but his face was pale, and he was covered in dirt, emitting a strange odor from afar.
"I am a low-level cadre from the granary. I can tell you the location of that granary, and I hope you can send me to the other side of the Chiyuan River."
The middle-aged man had survived in the basement for almost a month. After being rescued, he learned that the army had established a base in Heshan District, and he now desperately wanted to return to the human world.
"That's simple. Mark the location for me now."
Qin Shilei took a map of Nanzhuang City from his ring and handed it over.
The middle-aged man took the map and circled a small red area in the northern suburbs of Nanzhuang City with a pen.
"It's here. That is a national strategic reserve granary, with enough grain to feed two to three hundred thousand people for a year."
Qin Shilei looked closely. The map indeed had the words "Fuji Granary."
However, he had never worried about food before, and the lettering on the map was too small, so he hadn't noticed that it was such a large granary.
"Fuji Granary?" Kong Qingshu, who was standing beside him, frowned and asked involuntarily.
"You know this granary too?" Qin Shilei turned to look at Kong Qingshu, "Is your military also eyeing this granary?"
"What 'our military'? Since I joined the Rocky team, I have left the army and am no longer enlisted."
Kong Qingshu said indignantly, "The military is indeed planning to secure this granary, hoping to use the grain inside to solve Nanzhuang City's food crisis."
Yesterday, when she saw Qin Shilei's extremely large ring, she had almost impulsively asked Qin Shilei to help the military recover the grain from the granary.
Qin Shilei asked again, "I'm planning to collect the grain from there. Do you have anything to say?"
Kong Qingshu shook her head, "If you can get the grain from there, that's your ability as commander. I have nothing to say. I just hope that when you have abundant grain, you will consider exchanging some supplies with the military, or even providing relief to the refugees in Nanzhuang City."
"We'll see."
Qin Shilei turned to An Qian and the others, "I'm going to this granary. You continue to kill zombies here. If you encounter insurmountable danger, retreat to the large ship on the Chiyuan River."
"Okay, be careful," An Qian instructed.
Qin Shilei whistled, summoning Xiao Qiang, and flew towards the granary marked on the map.
Half an hour later.
Qin Shilei finally found the Fuji Granary marked on the map, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
However, looking down, he saw that the granary below seemed to have been occupied.
The electric iron gate in front of the granary had been reinforced with multiple layers of barbed wire.
"So what if there are people? I'll leave a little for you at most."
Qin Shilei thought to himself, then had Xiao Qiang fly lower and landed in front of the shortest building, which was in the front.
Although he didn't know the specific layout of the granary, he had decided to take all the grain from it, so he intended to check every room.
There were four buildings in the granary. The building in front of him was the shortest and smallest, only about ten meters high, and its main door was tightly shut.
Qin Shilei stepped forward and pushed. It didn't budge, likely locked from the inside.
He knocked loudly on the door, "Anyone there? We're here to read the meter."
This shout immediately attracted the attention of those inside.
"Boss, someone's here. Should we open the door?"
"Go to the window and see who it is and how many of them there are."
"Only one. Wearing gold armor, very flashy."
"Then ignore him. He's not a woman, why open the door? Do you think we have too much grain?"
Qin Shilei waited for a while and saw no response, so he took out his Blood Soul and, with two swift slashes, cut open the lock.
