He Kai Ge looked at Qin Shi Lei's upright back, as if watching a peerless master from a wuxia novel.
The other party's decisive leap from the rooftop and the heroic feat of killing Dong Yuan Liang with a single sword deeply shocked him.
On their first meeting, when the other party had displayed his strength while killing zombies, He Kai Ge had only thought Qin Shi Lei was very strong.
Now, he realized he had still underestimated the other party's power.
Dong Yuan Liang had only used a few moves to severely injure him.
And how long had Qin Shi Lei been inside the villa? Not even ten seconds, right?
Yet he had forced the Ice King's capable subordinate to jump off the building.
Even after jumping, the subordinate could not escape being pierced through the heart by a sword.
"What are you spacing out for? If you don't get treatment, you'll die."
Qin Shi Lei's faint voice suddenly echoed in He Kai Ge's ears.
"Uh!"
Only then did He Kai Ge remember that blood was still flowing from his chest.
He quickly called a subordinate to administer medicine and bandage him.
Just then, An Qian also finished killing Yan Gong Yue's last subordinate.
She walked over, chiding, "Why did you just jump down like that? You scared me."
Qin Shi Lei smiled and said, "It's nothing. A mere ten meters won't hurt me."
"It's good that you're alright. I'm going to check on my mother," An Qian turned and entered the villa.
"I'm going to check on my pet. You arrange for people to clean up," Qin Shi Lei also turned and entered the villa.
At this moment, Shou Hou walked up to He Kai Ge and said in a deep voice, "Boss, we lost eighteen men. We have eleven left here."
Wen Shen Nan chimed in, "If not for the forty to fifty brothers out killing zombies, we would have crushed them completely."
"Alas, if not for Qin Shi Lei and An Qian returning in time, we would have been wiped out," He Kai Ge said with a look of sadness.
While He Kai Ge was arranging for people to clean up, Qin Shi Lei gave Xiao Qiang medicine and bandaged him simply.
When Qin Shi Lei came down from the rooftop, he found the pale-faced He Kai Ge sitting in the hall on the first floor.
Upon seeing Qin Shi Lei, he immediately stood up, but due to his injuries, he weakly slumped back onto the sofa.
"Brother Qin, I don't know if you'd look down on me, but I want to bring my men and pledge allegiance to you."
"Huh?" Qin Shi Lei was stunned. "Your Sky Wolf Gang is doing quite well. Why do you suddenly want to pledge allegiance to me?"
He Kai Ge said dejectedly, "My strength is low, and I can hardly protect my brothers. Only under a master like Brother Qin can we live better."
"These people came to seek revenge because of you, right?"
Qin Shi Lei said faintly, "That person just now seemed to be the Ice King's subordinate. If you're afraid of them seeking revenge, you can just blame me then."
He Kai Ge's expression changed.
This was also the main reason he wanted to join Qin Shi Lei's group. Now that Qin Shi Lei had stated it so directly, he felt a little embarrassed.
He Kai Ge pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Brother Qin, I sincerely wish to pledge allegiance to you. Please take us in."
"I still have 67 brothers now. They have all killed hundreds of zombies, not a single coward among them."
"As for their character, I can't guarantee they would all stand by their brothers through thick and thin, but they would absolutely never betray them."
Qin Shi Lei looked directly into the other's eyes, tapping his right index finger lightly on the sofa.
After a while, he nodded and replied, "Alright. I hope we can become comrades-in-arms, those we can trust with our backs."
Just then, a slightly overweight man in military uniform walked in from outside.
"Report, my name is Mu Zi Ping, your deputy officer. Here is my proof of identity."
Mu Zi Ping finished speaking and handed over a small booklet with both hands.
Qin Shi Lei casually flipped through the booklet, then pointed to the sofa. "Have a seat. Do you know who the members of the 007 Regiment are?"
Mu Zi Ping replied, "They are basically evolvers living nearby. The military has already notified them. They will gather at the square not far from here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Good. I hope those people are sensible tomorrow," a sharp glint flashed in Qin Shi Lei's eyes.
"Regimental Commander, I live in Unit 1203 of that tall building in the complex. You can call me if you need anything. I'll take my leave now."
After Mu Zi Ping explained some specific construction details of the 007 Regiment, he bid farewell.
Not long after, a government official found He Kai Ge.
"You and the members of the Sky Wolf Gang have been assigned to the 007 Regiment."
"Please be sure to arrive at the square in front by seven fifty AM tomorrow morning to be reviewed by the Regimental Commander."
"Failure to arrive on time will result in expulsion from Nan Zhuang City."
After the official left, another military officer, who introduced himself as a deputy, found An Qian.
He also explained some details about the team to An Qian and then found a place to stay nearby.
After He Kai Ge left, Qin Shi Lei took out the Blood-Boiling Military Flag.
[Do you wish to refresh attributes?]
[Refresh.]
Cheerleader (Green): Once someone waves the military flag and shouts "Ao Li Gei" loudly, the flag will grant members an additional ten percent strength.
Sounding the Horn (Green): When someone blows an attack horn within one meter of the military flag, the flag will grant members an additional ten percent speed.
Deterrence (Red): The area covered by the military flag will weaken enemies by ten percent of their attributes.
This is great. With you gaining and them losing, the enemies will likely despair.
Qin Shi Lei chose to fix the attribute "Deterrence."
Then he took out the Contract Scroll that Dong Yuan Liang had dropped on the rooftop.
Contract Scroll (Green): Can be used to contract pets. The success rate varies with the strength difference between the two parties.
[Do you wish to refresh attributes?]
[Refresh.]
Enhancement (Blue): Increases the success rate of contracting pets.
Replication (Green): Replicates an identical Contract Scroll.
Soul Control (Red): Can be used to contract humans as pets, provided the other party has no resistance whatsoever.
Qin Shi Lei looked at the red-glowing attribute and fell into deep thought.
Could the system want him to contract a sexy female slave?
But in the apocalypse, a little food would make countless beautiful women eager to climb into your bed. There was no need to waste a Contract Scroll.
Or perhaps, secretly contract a powerful military figure as a pet to control the military?
However, soldiers' wills are usually strong, and it might be difficult to succeed.
Qin Shi Lei thought about it and decided to put away the Contract Scroll. He would consider fixing an attribute when it became useful in the future.
Hovering Boots (Green): When jumping or falling from a height, you can gain three seconds of aerial suspension time. Cooldown time is thirty minutes.
These white sneakers also came from Dong Yuan Liang.
No wonder he chose to jump off the building without hesitation.
[Do you wish to refresh attributes?]
[Refresh.]
Brand New (White): Do you dislike these shoes being worn by someone else? If you choose this attribute, the sports shoes will transform into the latest style of casual shoes, as if just out of the factory.
Thousand Jin Drop (Green): Stomp down with one foot, heavy as a thousand jin, making your stance as stable as a mountain. Cooldown time is thirty minutes.
Ascending 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 Ascending Cloud Ladder, leaping twenty meters high. Cooldown time is thirty minutes.
Qin Shi Lei thought about it and chose the "Ascending Cloud Ladder" attribute.
Although the action to perform this skill was a bit strange, it was still a very practical skill.
