Qin Shilei led the people of the Rock Solid Battle Group out of Jingcui Garden, showing no mercy to the rioters.
Soon, they discovered that the rioters were not strong.
Furthermore, the opposing side only robbed the weak within Hope City and set fires everywhere to cause chaos.
Qin Shilei understood immediately that this was likely Hou Chengzhu's strategy to wear him down and make his escape easier, a plan of sacrificing pawns to save the chariot.
Although Hou Chengzhu's chariot was already gone, the chaos continued.
Therefore, Qin Shilei had no choice but to continue suppressing the chaos.
Fortunately, soon the various factions within the city sent their own teams to assist Qin Shilei in clearing out the Yellow Dragon Cultists.
When the army's teams arrived, the Yellow Dragon Cultists could no longer cause trouble. In less than half an hour, they were all slain.
That night, Hope City flowed with blood.
Nearly fifty thousand Yellow Dragon Cultists were almost all killed.
It was also that night that the residents of Hope City witnessed the iron-blooded side of their city lord.
More than twenty thousand Yellow Dragon Cultists, after surrendering, were still executed on Qin Shilei's order.
At this time, Qin Shilei was unaware that a contingent of nearly five thousand elite Yellow Dragon Cultists had already left Hope City.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't pay much attention.
With Hou Chengzhu and his capable subordinates all killed, the remaining Yellow Dragon Cultists, leaderless, would likely not cause much of a stir.
Indeed, those Yellow Dragon Cultist elites were incorporated by the local forces in the next city, becoming the main force to resist the alien beasts.
Leaving Zhang Qiang to handle the aftermath, Qin Shilei returned to Jingcui Garden.
The bombs installed by Hou Chengzhu and his group had all been disarmed, and the families of the Rock Solid Battle Group had returned home.
An Qian and the others had also moved into a new apartment.
Qin Shilei looked at Kong Qingshu, who was still unconscious, and asked, "Have the doctors examined her?"
Kong Zhendong frowned and replied, "Both Chinese and Western medicine doctors have seen her, but unfortunately, none can figure out what's wrong."
Zhang Xiaoli chimed in, "I just gave Sister Qingshu a bottle of mental stimulant, and her complexion seems to have improved. Do you have any more mental stimulants, Brother Qin?"
Qin Shilei took out several bottles of mental stimulants from his Qiankun Ring, "Give all of these to her."
After speaking, he once again turned his gaze to Kong Qingshu.
[Perform attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Queen's Demeanor (Green): When wielding a long whip, charm is doubled, the effect of disciplining others is doubled, and long whip attack power is doubled.
Prosperous Wife (Red): Her partner will be blessed by destiny, with continuous good fortune.
Wind Rider (Purple): Possesses an extraordinary understanding of wind, with the possibility of independently comprehending wind-attribute combat skills or abilities, and all wind-attribute combat skills or abilities gain double power.
No attributes that could wake Kong Qingshu, like self-healing, appeared. Qin Shilei had no choice but to replace one of the fixed common green attributes with the Wind Rider attribute.
He then proceeded to refresh the second attribute.
Unfortunately, after several refreshes, no suitable attributes appeared. Qin Shilei could only casually select a green attribute, Energetic.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoli had also given the few bottles of mental stimulants to Kong Qingshu.
An old Chinese medicine doctor stepped forward again to feel her pulse. "The pulse is still faint. While the medicine was effective, its impact was not significant."
Qin Shilei said helplessly, "Find someone to stay by her side. Everyone else can rest for now. We'll see how things are tomorrow."
Everyone had no choice but to return to their suites to rest.
The next day, Kong Qingshu still had not woken up.
Zhang Xiaoli, however, brought good news to Qin Shilei: "The mutant corn has matured."
After speaking, she handed Qin Shilei a small bag of golden corn.
Qin Shilei's eyes lit up. He took the corn and said excitedly, "Then let's go plant these corn seeds first."
The two entered the small space, came to the vicinity of the bamboo house, cleared a small patch of land, and planted the corn seeds.
They then watered them with the spring water from the Spiritual Spring Eye.
Now, they could only wait for the corn seedlings to grow, after which Zhang Xiaoli could use her wood-attribute ability to promote the growth of the corn.
The two returned to Jingcui Garden again.
Looking at the unconscious Kong Qingshu, Qin Shilei had a flash of inspiration and clicked on the trading system.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he could not find any pills to treat mental damage.
He had no choice but to return to the chat channel and send a message.
"This is Qin Shilei. A friend of mine has suffered mental damage. Does anyone have any pills or methods to treat mental conditions? There will be a generous reward!"
As soon as the message was sent, someone replied immediately.
"This old man is the院长 of Qing Shan Psychiatric Hospital. I'm familiar with this illness. Send her to our hospital quickly."
"Qin Shilei? Could it be the number one person on the leaderboard?"
"Indeed, it is I."
"Everyone, come and watch. The number one person on Blue Star has appeared."
"Big shot, I want to have your babies."
"Big shot, post a nude photo. No photo, no truth."
"Psychiatric hospital院长, you're dead. You dared to trick our Blue Star's top expert."
"Boss Qin, I have an ancestral pill that is very effective for mental damage. It only costs a thousand crystal cores. Why don't you try it?"
"This old man is a master of Chinese medicine. After the apocalypse, I even evolved the ability to refine pills, including one that treats mental damage, but it's a bit expensive, costing ten thousand crystal cores per pill."
The chat channel began to scroll rapidly, with all sorts of messages about seeking marriage, seeking companionship, sales scams, and baseless curses being sent continuously.
Qin Shilei's eyes couldn't keep up with the speed at which people were sending messages.
In just three minutes, the chat channel had flipped through dozens of pages.
"I actually chose to seek help online. This was a terrible idea."
Qin Shilei watched the rapidly refreshing chat messages and suddenly felt a headache. He didn't know whether to scroll back and check them one by one.
He also discovered many famous pills in the trading channel, and their prices were very expensive, ranging from a thousand to tens of thousands of crystal cores.
"They really think I'm a stupid rich person who's easy to swindle." Qin Shilei casually closed the trading channel and returned to the chat channel.
Another five minutes passed, and the messages appearing on the chat channel finally slowed down.
Suddenly, a message caught his attention.
"Boss Qin, I'll send this one more time. If you still don't see it, then forget it. Our city has a divine doctor who once cured the city lord's mother, who had been in a coma for ten years as a vegetative state. She might also be able to treat your friend's mental damage."
Qin Shilei immediately sent another message: "Hello, how did this divine doctor treat her?"
"She is a Chinese medicine practitioner. After the apocalypse, she awakened healing abilities. She used acupuncture and herbal medicine for treatment."
"What is her strength, and in which city is she now?"
"Her specific strength is unknown, but she must be a Black Iron realm expert. We are in Lingquan City, Pingxi Province."
Qin Shilei then inquired about other details before exiting the chat channel.
Pingxi Province was adjacent to Laishan Province, but Lingquan City was a full thousand kilometers away from Hope City.
Now that Xiaoqiang was also in a coma, if he had to invite someone back to treat Kong Qingshu, it might not be an easy task.
