Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 341 The Role of Drones

“Go down?”

Zhao Dahai was shocked. Although he felt like he was the protagonist, blessed with a halo, there were thousands of enhanced zombies below. If they really went down and got blocked by the enhanced zombies, then no matter what protagonist he was, he’d be done for.

“Brother! Are you serious?”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Sun Qiang and ask.

“Right now, we can't see a single enhanced zombie here. If we don't go down, we'll never know what they're doing down there!”

Sun Qiang replied.

“If they are really being led by an intelligent zombie, then what they're doing now must have some meaning! We have to find a way to disrupt them, otherwise, once they succeed, the consequences could be quite severe!”

“This…”

Hearing Sun Qiang's words, Zhao Dahai also began to struggle, because what Sun Qiang said was indeed possible.

“But now only the two of us are strong. If we go down, only the two of us can go. Other ordinary people are basically just delivering food in front of enhanced zombies!”

Zhao Dahai hesitated.

“Especially since we don't know the situation below, and we don't know which floor those enhanced zombies are concentrated on, if we go down rashly, we might not be able to get back up!”

“Try a drone or a remote control car?”

Sun Qiang suddenly said.

“Huh?”

Zhao Dahai was stunned. That was a good idea, but he didn't know if the cameras were working now! So he asked again:

“The wireless signals seem to be cut off now, right? Can a drone even be used?”

“Let's try it first. It can still be used at close range. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way!”

Sun Qiang said. He knew this because Liu Jinshan and his defense regiment had tried remote communication before. As a result, it was only effective within a hundred meters. At that distance, you could almost hear it by shouting directly, so remote signals were basically useless.

However, if the drone's camera could also work within a hundred meters, that would be different. They could move closer, which would be better than going in themselves, right?

“Quick! Go find drones and remote control cars! Find as many as you can!”

Hearing Sun Qiang's suggestion, Zhao Dahai immediately turned around and shouted to Xiao Lü and the others.

Previously, when they searched for supplies, it only included food and daily necessities. Drones, which they considered useless, they hadn't paid attention to.

Fortunately, this was a business district, especially since the enhanced zombies had already run into the mall. The entire business district's ground was clean, and they couldn't even find an ordinary zombie. Collecting supplies was much simpler.

Before long, Xiao Lü and the others ran back, carrying several drones, remote control cars, and camera equipment.

Without Zhao Dahai giving the order, Xiao Lü and the others immediately began to install and debug. After everything was ready, Zhao Dahai looked at Sun Qiang:

“Then let's start by trying it out?”

“Wait! Have everyone else evacuate. The two of us will operate it!”

Sun Qiang looked at Zhao Dahai's men and shook his head.

“We don't know how those enhanced zombies will react to our probing. In case they all rush out at once, the two of us can still run away, but they…”

“Right!”

Zhao Dahai suddenly understood and quickly waved his hand at Xiao Lü and Guo Jianyong and the others:

“You guys retreat first and wait for us in the back. Don't let the enhanced zombies rush out and wipe you out! Also, be prepared over there. If you really see us running over, remember to open fire to provide cover!”

“Understood!”

Xiao Lü and the others nodded, and then they actually all retreated.

They hadn't thought of it before, but after Sun Qiang reminded them, they were scared into a cold sweat. Damn it, how could they not have thought that those zombies might rush out?

Of course, they didn't know that this was because Sun Qiang was always cautious. People who were afraid of death were definitely timid. It was because of their caution that they were often able to think of many details that others couldn't.

And Sun Qiang didn't make this suggestion to save Xiao Lü and the others. To Sun Qiang, as long as he could live, he didn't care about the life or death of others.

However, after all, he was the one who suggested using drones and remote control cars. If it really attracted enhanced zombies, causing Zhao Dahai's subordinates to suffer heavy losses, Sun Qiang was worried that Zhao Dahai would vent his anger on him.

He didn't want to offend people for no reason, so he still reminded them. If you still die after being reminded, then you can't blame me!

After Xiao Lü and the others had all retreated far away, fully two kilometers away, Zhao Dahai looked at Sun Qiang. Sun Qiang immediately understood and directly controlled a drone to fly up. At the same time, he also walked towards the mall, trying to get a little closer.

Anyway, he had a displacement skill. If he really stirred up a hornet's nest and a large group of enhanced zombies came out, then he would quickly use his skill to escape. At this time, as long as he ran faster than Zhao Dahai, that was enough.

Zhao Dahai hesitated for a moment and followed, also holding a remote control, controlling a remote control mountain bike towards the mall.

Soon, the drone and the car entered the mall. Sun Qiang's drone skillfully rushed towards the safety exit. Naturally, they couldn't take the elevator now, they could only take the stairs. Zhao Dahai, who was unfamiliar with this place, quickly controlled the car to follow.

What made them happy was that at this distance, both the drone and the remote control car could transmit images back. Thinking about it, it made sense. If the remote signal couldn't be transmitted at this distance, then the drone and the remote control car would definitely be useless.

However, after arriving at the stairwell, both Sun Qiang and Zhao Dahai were dumbfounded, because the door to the safety exit was closed!

Although they could see that the door was not locked, but only ajar, the drone and the remote control car simply couldn't push it open!

“Is there any other way?”

Zhao Dahai asked.

“Yes! The atrium!”

Sun Qiang, who had been here before, nodded.

“But that's a bit far from here. We have to walk there!”

Sun Qiang pointed to another direction of the mall.

They were on the side door of the mall, so if they wanted to go downstairs, they could only take the safety passage.

If they went to the main entrance, it wouldn't be so troublesome, because the atrium directly connected from the third basement level to the top floor! Perhaps as long as they flew the drone to the atrium, they would be able to see the zombies below.

However, if they wanted to go to the main entrance, they would have to enter the mall's area. At that time, if enhanced zombies came out from here, they might be surrounded!

“Let's go! We have to see what's going on inside!”

Seeing Sun Qiang looking at him with an inquiring look, Zhao Dahai suddenly gritted his teeth, then recalled the remote control car, picked it up, and strode onto the square in front of the mall…
