Zhao Tianlei's Strength

A man carried his sister to the rope. First, he tied his sister up with the rope, then he glanced up at the people above. Zhao Tianlei immediately began to pull up the bitten woman. Although this action was very dangerous, as being bitten meant certain death, Zhao Tianlei knew that even if she was infected, there was still some time before mutation. Moreover, this little girl in front of him was only a little over ten years old. Even if she turned into a zombie, she wouldn't be that scary.

"Cheng Yao, keep an eye on this little girl. Call me immediately if there's any change," Zhao Tianlei said, holding the girl aside after pulling her up.

Cheng Yao replied earnestly to Zhao Tianlei's instructions, "Okay, I understand. I'll take good care of her."

Then, Zhao Tianlei held the rope and looked at the girl's brother, saying, "Kid, I'll throw the rope down to you. I assume you can climb up yourself and don't need me to pull you, right?"

Facing Zhao Tianlei's words, the man said coldly, "Yes, throw the rope down. I don't need your help; I can climb up myself."

Hearing the man's icy tone, Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but retort, "What the hell, if you don't need my help, then just climb up yourself. Why did you need me to throw down the damn rope?" It was clear that the guy's words had somewhat angered Zhao Tianlei.

After hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, the man's face visibly flushed. He realized that what he had just said was rather impolite. He immediately said softly to Zhao Tianlei, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Zhao Tianlei said irritably, "Hmph, I know that's not what you meant. If you meant it, I wouldn't have thrown you the rope at all, and you'd just be zombie food."

After speaking, Zhao Tianlei directly threw the rope down. The man tugged on the rope, seemingly testing its weight-bearing capacity. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the man began to climb. He wasn't slow either; without Zhao Tianlei's help, the man climbed up quite quickly on his own.

When the man climbed onto the rooftop using the rope Zhao Tianlei threw down, he didn't even say thank you to Zhao Tianlei. He immediately looked towards his sister lying nearby. He rushed over in a flash, crawled beside her, and asked about her condition.

"Little sister, how are you? We've escaped. We're safe. Brother will take you to a doctor to get you treated now."

Feeling that he had kindly saved someone only to be met with no thanks, Zhao Tianlei put away the rope and walked over slowly, saying irritably, "Hey kid, can you calm down a bit? I kindly saved you just now. You should at least say thank you. Am I saving ungrateful wretches?"

Hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, the man was slightly stunned. The girl lying on the ground looked at Zhao Tianlei, who was walking over, and managed a weak smile. "Big brother, thank you... for saving us. You're such a good person. I hope... I hope you can take care of my brother for me in the future. I'll become an angel and bless you all."

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense. You'll be fine."

The man said this and prepared to pick up the girl, seemingly intending to find a doctor as he had said earlier. However, before he could lift the girl, Zhao Tianlei grabbed him and said, "Buddy, I advise you to calm down. Your sister, though younger than you, is calmer and braver than you. She was bitten by those zombies and infected with a deadly virus. Mutation is only a matter of time. You could find the best doctor in the world, and it wouldn't save your sister. Moreover, judging by her current injuries, if you move her around, you won't save her; instead, you'll accelerate her wound tearing and hasten her death."

"Bang."

Zhao Tianlei had intended to comfort him kindly, but he didn't expect that upon hearing that his sister was already a dying person, the man would become overwhelmed with grief. He turned and punched Zhao Tianlei in the face, crying out, "You're talking nonsense! My sister has been kind since she was little. Nothing will happen to her."

Zhao Tianlei, who was in a state of pity and trying to comfort the man, hadn't expected anything else. To his surprise, the young man in front of him, instead of thanking him for saving them, punched him in return for his comfort. This punch didn't hurt much on Zhao Tianlei, who had evolved, but it greatly angered him.

Immediately, Zhao Tianlei became furious, grabbed his fire axe, and walked towards the man, angrily saying, "This is unbelievable! I kindly saved you and your sister, and even tried to comfort you. Instead of saying thank you, you punch me! Watch me split you with my axe and then throw you down to feed the zombies."

Judging by Zhao Tianlei's actions, tone, and expression, he was clearly genuinely angry. Cheng Yao, seeing this, quickly rushed forward, threw herself into Zhao Tianlei's arms, hugged him, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Tianlei, calm down. He didn't mean it. He just can't accept that his sister is going to turn into a zombie. Please be understanding and don't stoop to his level."

Similarly, the girl also grabbed her brother's hand and said, "Cough... Brother, how could you hit someone? That big brother is a good person. He saved us."

"I..." After being reminded by his sister, the man clearly calmed down and seemed to feel somewhat guilty for his actions. The man stood up and bowed slightly to Zhao Tianlei, saying, "I'm sorry. I was too impulsive just now. How about you hit me a few times?"

"Damn, I'm afraid I'll kill you with one punch."

Despite the man's apology, Zhao Tianlei remained angry. He directly raised his fist and punched a nearby discarded iron rack. With that punch, the iron rack immediately bent. This was the combat power of Zhao Tianlei's evolution to Second Class Soldier, with Strength reaching 18, indicating a powerful attack. A normal adult's strength is only around 5 points. The top strength for a Third Class Soldier is 10, and for a Second Class Soldier, it's 20. Zhao Tianlei's 18 points were already very impressive. With 18 points of combat power, Zhao Tianlei was almost four times as strong as an ordinary adult.

After this punch, the man was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He blurted out, "You... how are you so monstrous? Are you even human?"

"You're the monster, you're not human!" Zhao Tianlei retorted irritably.

The man quickly waved his hands, "No, no, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to insult you; I was just amazed at how powerful you are."
