Qin Shi Lei had not expected his eyes to possess the reconnaissance abilities of an online game.
Through his personal panel, he discovered that the Purifying Violet Eyes had absorbed the Phantom Silver Eyes that previously existed, gaining the latter's ability to create illusions.
Furthermore, because the Purifying Violet Eyes were of purple quality, their ability to create illusions had also been greatly enhanced.
With a thought, Qin Shi Lei pulled Dong Qi into an illusion. Dong Qi, who was driving, suddenly slammed on the brakes and let out a series of chuckles. His facial expression also turned lewd.
Seeing that Dong Qi was about to make some indecent moves, Qin Shi Lei quickly deactivated the Purifying Violet Eyes.
"Why did I suddenly stop?" Dong Qi asked, wiping a bit of drool from the corner of his mouth.
"A rabbit just ran by, and you stopped abruptly," Qin Shi Lei lied.
"Why didn't I hit it? Roasted rabbit is quite tasty," Dong Qi said with some regret. He then started the armored vehicle again and continued to drive forward.
At noon, they finally entered Lingquan City.
Lingquan City was a third-tier city. The zombies there had not been completely cleared, but a large base had been established.
After paying two packs of instant noodles, Qin Shi Lei found a guide.
While showing them the way, the guide introduced them to the basic situation of Lingquan City.
"There are over a hundred thousand survivors in Lingquan City. The City Lord's Mansion is the dominant force, controlling one-third of the city's military power. The City Lord is named Xiao Zi Ang."
"Besides the City Lord's Mansion, there is also the Wang Family Army which established the Wangmen, and Zhou Zhengyang who established the Zhou Tian Sword Sect."
"Doctor Su is also very famous in Lingquan City. Many men seek her out for treatment, though it's a bit expensive."
The guide was very talkative and chattered incessantly along the way, quickly leading Qin Shi Lei and the others to the clinic of Doctor Su.
It was a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and surprisingly, there were two long queues in front.
"We actually have to queue?" Qin Shi Lei asked in surprise.
"After the apocalypse, as everyone's physical fitness improved, many illnesses self-healed. However, there are still some conditions that require treatment, such as issues with duration." The guide suddenly gave Qin Shi Lei and Dong Qi a knowing smile that men would understand.
Dong Qi's face turned dark as he replied, "We have a female patient who needs to see her."
"There are also women who see the doctor for issues of size," the guide said with an 'I understand' expression.
"Alright, we've found the place. You can leave now," Qin Shi Lei dismissed the guide casually. Such matters would only get more complicated with further explanation, and there was no need to explain more to someone he would never see again.
Dong Qi got out of the car consciously. "City Lord, you and the others can rest in the car." He walked over to the person at the very front and whispered a few words. It seemed he didn't get a satisfactory response, so he switched to three other people, finally achieving his goal. He quietly handed over two crystal cores, and the person gave up their spot.
Some people at the back of the queue muttered with dissatisfaction when they saw Dong Qi openly buying a spot, but no conflict arose.
A few minutes later, the person in front of Dong Qi was called into the clinic by the medical staff. It was almost Qin Shi Lei's turn. Just then, a middle-aged man strode over, completely ignoring the queuing crowd, pushing his way through the line as he intended to enter the clinic.
Seeing someone cut the line, someone immediately became displeased and shouted, "Hey, don't you understand the rules? Everyone is queuing."
The middle-aged man turned around and said lightly, "Are you sure you want me, Zhou Xiang Rong, to follow the rules?"
"Zhou Xiang Rong of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect?" The person's face changed, and he immediately said obsequiously, "This humble one was momentarily blind and didn't recognize you. Please, go ahead."
Upon hearing that the other party was from the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, the rest of the crowd also gave up any thoughts of intervening. Zhou Xiang Rong smirked, seeing that his name had intimidated everyone, and continued forward.
As he was about to step into the clinic, Dong Qi extended his hand and stopped him. "If you want to see a doctor, please queue." Even though he was an subordinate of the number one person on Blue Star, he didn't abuse his influence to cut in line. How could he allow others to do so?
Zhou Xiang Rong's face showed impatience. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear who I am just now?"
"Zhou Xiang Rong of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, yes. What does that have to do with you cutting in line?" Dong Qi said calmly.
Zhou Xiang Rong's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you know I am Zhou Xiang Rong, you still dare to stop me. It seems you have the courage of a bear and the guts of a leopard."
"I don't care if you are Zhou Xiang Rong or not. If you want to cut in front of me, no way," Dong Qi said indifferently.
"It seems someone thinks the swords of our Zhou Tian Sword Sect are not sharp enough. Today, I will let you know that there are some people you cannot afford to offend." After speaking, Zhou Xiang Rong threw a punch at Dong Qi.
Dong Qi also clenched his fist and punched back. However, as soon as their fists made contact, he felt a tremendous force transmitted from the impact, and he was knocked to the ground.
"Weakling!" Zhou Xiang Rong said dismissively. "With this level of skill, you dare to provoke our Zhou Tian Sword Sect? I think you're tired of living." He then stepped forward and stomped towards Dong Qi's head.
Just as he was about to stomp on Dong Qi's head, a fist suddenly appeared and struck him hard in the stomach.
"Ah!" Zhou Xiang Rong cried out in pain, flying back more than ten meters before crashing heavily onto the ground. He lay curled on the ground, clutching his stomach, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Dong Qi got up from the ground, shamefully saying, "City Lord, your subordinate has disgraced you."
"In the future, kill more zombies, and one day you will become stronger than him. Let's go, we're going in," Qin Shi Lei said calmly. He then walked into the clinic, with Yin Xiao Xue, who was holding Kong Qing Shu, quickly following. As for Zhou Xiang Rong, who was still lying on the ground, they didn't even glance at him again.
After a while, Zhou Xiang Rong finally got up and harshly said to the onlookers, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out." He then turned and fled away sheepishly. Before leaving, he left a menacing remark towards the clinic, "You just wait."
After Zhou Xiang Rong was gone, the people around dared to whisper.
"What's so arrogant about him? Wasn't he also taken down with one punch?"
"Did you see clearly? How did Zhou Xiang Rong fly out so suddenly?"
"I only saw a flash, then that person appeared there, and Zhou Xiang Rong flew away."
"Who was that person? He actually knocked down Zhou Xiang Rong, who is at Black Iron 8-star, with one punch?"
"Whoever he is, he's dead. He actually offended the Zhou Tian Sword Sect. I'm afraid Zhou Xiang Rong will bring people back for revenge in less than half an hour." The crowd felt that Qin Shi Lei was too unwise, offending an elder of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, one of the three major powers in Lingquan City, Zhou Xiang Rong. They believed he wouldn't survive the day.
Meanwhile, Qin Shi Lei had already entered the clinic. Looking up, he saw that the person sitting behind the consultation desk was a young woman. A master of Chinese medicine, so young, and also a woman?
