Qin Shilei blocked the opponent with his sword and pointed to the gate of the machinery plant. "Enter from here," he said.
Looking at the nearly two hundred zombies outside the gate, Wu Ze's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
But under the threat of Qin Shilei's Jinghong Sword, he had to draw his saber and slowly walk towards it.
An Qian walked up to Qin Shilei and said in a low voice, "Why don't we leave first? We can talk about the arrows later."
Qin Shilei explained, "Since we've come all this way, why should we give up? Not only are there arrows inside, but also a mutated dog. These are all things we need."
"As for the potential appearance of the Huanglong Cult, we have no enmity with each other. If they really want to court death, are we afraid of them?"
At this moment, Wu Ze had only taken four or five steps but dared not take another.
He also didn't dare to turn and flee, because Xie Haimei's arrow was always aimed at him.
"Let's go too, and finish it quickly."
Qin Shilei was the first to charge towards the opposite zombies.
He wanted to test the power of his Great Accomplishment level swordsmanship.
An Qian and the others also charged forward.
As soon as he drew his sword, Qin Shilei felt the extraordinary power of his Great Accomplishment swordsmanship.
Each slash, hack, block, and thrust was as fluid as flowing water.
Every move and every style appeared precisely where it should.
Attacks were as swift as lightning and incredibly accurate.
Defenses were watertight and impenetrable.
Sharp sword shadows flashed, and zombies were pierced and fell to the ground.
While Qin Shilei was slaughtering zombies, An Qian and the others were not idle.
Blazing Star!
A fireball the size of a soccer ball appeared from her left palm, and then she threw it into the zombie horde.
"Boom!"
When the fireball hit the zombies, it exploded, knocking down zombies within a five-meter radius and setting them ablaze.
After testing the power of the fireball three times, An Qian also drew her sword for close combat.
Although they could have used powerful weapons like rocket launchers to quickly kill the zombies, everyone chose to fight with cold weapons to hone their combat skills.
An Qian's mother also held a rifle and stood at a distance with Xie Haimei.
He Yuyao also understood that it was now the apocalypse and she couldn't always rely on others for protection.
After being rescued, she had asked her daughter for a gun and had fired over a thousand rounds.
After upgrading to plastic four-star and greatly increasing her physical fitness, her shooting had become more proficient.
At least, she no longer trembled all over and could hold her gun steady when shooting zombies.
Of course, she didn't dare to shoot now, for fear of accidentally harming her daughter and the others.
After a few minutes, Qin Shilei and the others had killed all the zombies in front of the club.
Although Wu Ze's clothes were torn to shreds by the zombies, he was still alive.
"Wu Ze, you go in first," Qin Shilei said, turning his head to Wu Ze.
Wu Ze, with a bitter face, was about to step into the gate of the machinery plant.
Suddenly, Qin Shilei grabbed him.
He turned and shouted towards the street, "Is that the Huanglong Cult over there?"
Cai Yuanqing walked out from the corner of the street. "Your hearing is indeed excellent."
Then, a hundred elite members of the Huanglong Cult appeared, standing behind him.
Wu Ze immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Cult Master Cai, this is a conspiracy."
Cai Yuanqing said with a smile, "I know it's a conspiracy, a conspiracy by your Dark Moon to deal with us."
Wu Ze continued, "Yes, this is a conspiracy by the Dark Moon against you. To avoid falling into Dark Moon's trap of using a borrowed knife to kill, or a stratagem to lure the tiger away from its den, please, Cult Master Cai, take your men back to the base."
Cai Yuanqing said sinisterly, "Since it's a conspiracy, then if I kill you all, and then return to the base to eradicate the Dark Moon, won't all conspiracies be resolved?"
"Uh!" Wu Ze realized that the conspiracy Cai Yuanqing was talking about was different from the one he was talking about.
Qin Shilei stopped Wu Ze and said loudly, "We have nothing to do with the Dark Moon. We just passed through Xinluo City today. After we retrieve the arrows from the machinery plant, we will leave Xinluo City immediately. It would be unintended to become enemies with Cult Master Cai and let the Dark Moon benefit from the shadows."
Wu Ze quickly chimed in, "They just arrived in Xinluo City today and wanted to exchange for some arrows with the Dark Moon, but Feng Tangzhu directed them here."
"To provoke Mr. Qin's hatred towards you, the Dark Moon deliberately had people disguise themselves as your Huanglong Cult members and lured this group of zombies."
Cai Yuanqing looked at the zombie corpses littering the ground and believed Qin Shilei and the others' words by about eighty percent.
After a moment of contemplation, his expression changed, and he roared, "Damn Dark Moon, a good stratagem of using a borrowed knife to kill! I'll go and destroy them now!"
After saying that, he ignored Qin Shilei and the others and turned around, leading his subordinates away the way they came.
An Qian watched the Huanglong Cult members disappear down the street. "They just left like that?"
"Perhaps."
Qin Shilei replied casually.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Xiao Qiang was released.
Qin Shilei stroked Xiao Qiang's head and instructed, "Xiao Qiang, keep watch from above. If there's any situation, give a warning cry."
"Screech."
Xiao Qiang nodded its head, then leaped forcefully, spreading its wings and soaring into the blue sky.
Qin Shilei turned to Wu Ze and gestured for him to go first. "You can go in now."
"Uh." Wu Ze pleaded pitifully, "Mr. Qin, now that the conflict with the Huanglong Cult has been resolved, please spare me."
The response he received was Qin Shilei's icy stare.
Wu Ze had no choice but to step into the machinery plant, trembling.
This was a small machinery plant, a small factory specializing in the production of archery equipment.
The machinery plant covered an area of four to five hundred square meters and had a three-story building.
As soon as Qin Shilei stepped into the building, he felt a faint, almost imperceptible sense of being watched.
"Woof!"
A low growl of a dog sounded, and a huge black Tibetan Mastiff emerged from the innermost room.
The mastiff was about a meter tall, its fur fluffy, as strong as a lion, and its sharp teeth gleamed with terrifying coldness.
It was now baring its fangs and growling at Qin Shilei and the others who were trespassing on its territory.
Wu Ze, who was at the forefront, immediately trembled all over, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks.
Such a giant Tibetan Mastiff could have scared several strong men even before the apocalypse, let alone now that it had mutated.
"Roar!"
The mastiff opened its mouth wide and roared at Wu Ze.
Terrified, Wu Ze turned to hide behind Qin Shilei and the others.
Seeing Wu Ze move, the mastiff, like a lion, closed in on Wu Ze in a few leaps.
At this moment, Wu Ze's body had only turned halfway when he was pounced on and knocked to the ground by the mastiff.
With a bite, Wu Ze was instantly torn in half.
Blazing Star!
Thousand Vine Technique!
An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli unleashed their abilities simultaneously.
The mastiff turned into a black lightning bolt, dodging the fireball and vines with left and right leaps.
Shield Bash!
Zhang Qiang stepped forward, raising his shield and striking the lunging mastiff.
"Bang!"
A wave appeared at the junction of the mastiff and the round shield. Zhang Qiang retreated three steps, while the mastiff only had its movement slightly disrupted, its pouncing motion halted.
This mastiff was stronger than the mutated black goat from yesterday, at least at the Black Iron realm.
Qin Shilei watched vigilantly, but did not intervene for the moment, hoping to let his companions train first.
