The scene fell utterly silent.
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at Liu Yuanliang, who was still twitching slightly on the ground.
Hadn't Brother Liu been dominating the fight?
How had he been beheaded by the opponent's sword all of a sudden?
While they were stunned, Qin Shilei wasn't foolish.
He lunged into the crowd with a stride, and with two swift slashes, he downed two people instantly.
The crowd finally reacted, turning and fleeing in all directions.
Qin Shilei's Seven Stars Sword was instantly replaced by a short bow.
He drew the string, nocked an arrow, and released.
He didn't need to aim, yet not a single arrow missed its mark.
Thump, thump, thump.
Whoever ran the fastest had their leg struck by an arrow and tumbled to the ground.
After shooting down seven or eight people, the remaining five or six had already run beyond the short bow's twenty-meter sure-kill range.
Shunpo.
Qin Shilei transformed into a gust of wind and charged towards the fastest runner.
While running, he didn't stop drawing and shooting his bow.
He just shot, leaving the aiming to the short bow.
After the arrow left the string, it always curved at an astonishing arc, accurately hitting the man's thigh.
In less than five seconds.
The surroundings were filled with students groaning in pain.
This scene was witnessed by students hiding in the classrooms.
They began chattering in the chat channel, describing what happened.
"A divine archer appears on the sports field."
"One person takes on over ten, and within five seconds, shoots them all to the ground."
"Truly a reincarnation of Li Guang, a true arrow god!"
"I managed to take a video with my camera, it's not very clear, but please enjoy the divine archer's heroic posture."
"Arrow God!" "Arrow God!" "Arrow God!"
Then, a string of people shouted in awe of the Arrow God.
"What nonsense about an arrow god, he's actually slaughtering students. This kind of person should be arrested and jailed by the police." Suddenly, a voice of condemnation rang out.
But this condemnation was immediately rebutted.
"I clearly saw the other side attack the Arrow God first."
"If the Arrow God is so powerful, why didn't he come save us?"
"Killing your own kind is no achievement. If you're capable, go kill zombies."
The chat channel immediately became noisy.
Everyone was trapped by zombies in various places. Other than venting their nervous tension in the chat channel, what else could they do?
And Qin Shilei, the Arrow God, left a deep impression on everyone's hearts.
On the sports field.
After shooting everyone to the ground, Qin Shilei drew his Seven Stars Sword and walked step by step towards Sun Wu.
"Don't kill me, it was all Liu Yuanliang's orders."
Sun Wu crawled away, crying and begging for mercy.
"Then go down and keep him company." Qin Shilei beheaded him with a sword.
"We didn't do anything, please let us go."
"Liu Yuanliang was the one who came up with the plan, and Sun Wen and Sun Wu were the ones who lured the zombies. It really has nothing to do with us."
"We have no enmity, we don't even know each other's names, fellow student, please let us go."
Everyone pleaded for their lives.
Qin Shilei, however, was somewhat troubled.
Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary otaku. He had no inclination to kill.
Even though it was the apocalypse now, he didn't want to become a mad killer.
Just as Qin Shilei was about to tell them to scram,
He suddenly felt a hateful gaze.
He turned his head, and the other party immediately lowered his head, hastily speaking words of entreaty.
But that hint of hatred was still clearly seen by Qin Shilei.
"You resent me for shooting your leg, don't you? Then go to hell with that resentment."
The last trace of hesitation was cast aside by Qin Shilei, and he thrust his sword into the man's chest.
"He wants our lives! We'll fight him!" Someone struggled to stand up and charged at Qin Shilei with a knife.
"Welcome."
Qin Shilei transformed into a demon. With a lift of his hand and a drop of his sword, he turned the sports field into a sea of blood.
Since he had already injured them, he might as well kill them all with resolve.
These students, who could use fire to deal with hundreds of zombies on the third day, were no simple characters. Why leave such a hidden danger?
Qin Shilei thought he had killed all of Liu Yuanliang's group, but he didn't know that Zhong Renhe had been missed.
He collected the spatial rings and weapons from the fallen.
Looking up at the badminton court, he saw that the fire there was about to be extinguished.
Most of the zombies inside were no longer mobile.
Looking at the densely packed zombies inside, Qin Shilei had a happy kind of trouble.
The smell of burning zombies was unpleasant.
Moreover, with so many zombies inside, when would he ever finish extracting cores?
He turned his gaze towards the teaching building.
He saw many students peeking in this direction.
"There we go."
Qin Shilei turned and ran towards the teaching building, first finding Zhang Xiaoli.
They casually cleared out seven or eight zombies on the way and arrived at a classroom they had already chosen.
He knocked on the door, and Qin Shilei said, "Anyone inside willing to help extract cores? I'll give them two packs of instant noodles and a bottle of water."
"I'm willing."
Several weak responses came from inside.
Then came the sound of heavy objects being moved, and the wooden door was opened.
Four boys and two girls appeared before them.
Their faces were pale, their lips dry, and their eyes vacant, looking as if they would collapse at any moment.
"Arrow God, can you give us some food first?"
Li Guodong said with expectation.
Looking at them, Zhang Xiaoli suddenly realized that this was probably the norm for people in the apocalypse.
She suddenly remembered the preserved meat and rice, and the preserved egg and lean meat porridge they had eaten with Qin Shilei.
A sense of happiness arose.
Qin Shilei distributed some bread and water to everyone.
Watching the four men and two women devour the food ravenously, Qin Shilei suddenly worried if they really had the strength to help him extract cores.
About ten minutes after eating, the six students, male and female, stood up.
"Arrow God, we'll go extract cores for you now."
Before they even reached the badminton court, they could smell the stench of burning corpses from afar.
Everyone unconsciously frowned, yet they still walked forward resolutely.
Upon arriving at the badminton court and facing the terrifying, fire-scorched zombies, the two girls were the first to buckle. They turned and bent over, vomiting.
The four boys also had pale faces, looking like they were about to vomit.
"If you're not willing, you can leave now. The food you just had will be my gift to you."
Qin Shilei said with a frown.
"No, we can do it." The six replied in unison.
Taking the various knives Qin Shilei handed them, the six braced themselves and walked into the badminton court.
Having been starving for nearly three days, they knew clearly that if they couldn't even do the small task of extracting cores, then death was the only outcome awaiting them.
Qin Shilei and Zhang Xiaoli also entered the badminton court, finishing off any zombies that hadn't been completely burned to death.
Zhang Xiaoli watched as the six struggled for a long time to extract a single core, then picked up a cleaver, intending to help.
Qin Shilei handed Zhang Xiaoli a long spear. "Use this to split open the zombies' heads, and let them extract the cores. It'll be faster."
They were responsible for splitting open the zombies' heads, while the six students were responsible for extracting the cores.
This way, the speed significantly increased.
An hour later, everyone returned to the classroom.
Looking at the 198 cores before him, Qin Shilei suddenly felt grateful to Liu Yuanliang, the bringer of wealth.
As for the six students, Qin Shilei, in a great mood, not only gave them more food but also didn't ask for the cleavers and other tools back.
Li Guodong and the others, with these tools, embarked on the path of killing zombies and alien beasts, eventually becoming a well-known hunting team.
