"If you're unwilling to give us the car, that's even better!"

Facing Lin Qiang's gaze, Zhao Dahai calmly replied:

"That car belongs solely to Duan Lei and his group of four; it's not the manor's property. With our massive army bearing down, they initially thought we were attacking the manor. But then we suddenly told them that our target was the car.

"This way, the manor people will think the crisis they face isn't because of them, but because of Duan Lei and his group. When they hear that Duan Lei and the others are unwilling to hand over the car to ensure the manor's safety, they'll definitely resent them!

"The manor people will believe this trouble was brought on by Duan Lei and his friends, and they're just caught in the crossfire. Duan Lei and the others, for the sake of a car, would rather see their manor attacked. How could they possibly have a good impression of them?

"Duan Lei and his companions came back to help defend the manor, but now they're being misunderstood. They'll certainly feel awkward. Conflicts will arise between them. When we attack again, they won't be united, their morale will be low, and they won't be able to display much combat power!"

"Hahahaha! Dahai, I knew I wasn't wrong about you! You've definitely got something!"

Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, Lin Qiang laughed loudly, stood up, patted Zhao Dahai on the shoulder, and stared at him, asking:

"So, are you willing to be the envoy to convey our intentions to the people of the manor?"

"Of course I'm willing. This idea originated with me, so it's most appropriate for me to go!"

Zhao Dahai nodded without hesitation.

In his opinion, there was no danger whatsoever in going to the manor this time. First, Lin Qiang and his army were pressing down, and anyone could see that the combat power of the two sides was completely disproportionate, so they wouldn't dare to easily touch him.

Second, although there did seem to be capable people in the manor, Zhao Dahai didn't think they could see through his plan. They would definitely believe that what he said was true. After all, many people knew how magical that car was. It would definitely be worth launching a war for such a car.

Therefore, after the other party knew his intention, they would definitely shift their attention to the war chariot. Just deciding whether to hand over the war chariot would be enough to give them a headache!

There was no danger, and he could show Lin Qiang his value, even showing that he was willing to take risks for him. How could Zhao Dahai let such a thing pass?

When he came up with this plan, Zhao Dahai had already decided that even if Lin Qiang didn't appoint him, he would take the initiative to volunteer to go to the manor as the envoy!

"Good!"

Seeing Zhao Dahai agree so readily, Lin Qiang seemed quite satisfied, and patted him hard on the shoulder, saying:

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Go now, take a few people with you. You can pick anyone you want from the people outside!"

"No need! I can go by myself!"

Zhao Dahai smiled and said:

"If too many people go, they'll think we're afraid. I'll go alone to show we have enough confidence, which will better intimidate them!"

"Alright! Then I wish you success!"

Lin Qiang didn't force it, nodding his head.

"Okay! I'll go first then!"

Zhao Dahai smiled, then turned and walked out…

After Zhao Dahai left, the smile on Lin Qiang's face suddenly turned into a cold sneer. Looking at Zhao Dahai's departing figure, he muttered to himself:

"Fool! Thinks he's so clever? This is good too. If you can come back alive, it'll prove that the guy in the manor is just as insignificant as you. If you don't come back…"

Zhao Dahai naturally didn't hear Lin Qiang's words. He walked out of the RV that Lin Qiang was using as a command vehicle, opened the door of an SUV, started the car, and drove towards the manor.

Because he had just come out of Lin Qiang's location, the surrounding soldiers, although looking at him strangely, didn't stop him. Lin Qiang hadn't given his confidants any orders, so Zhao Dahai drove unimpeded into the previous battlefield.

The battlefield was muddy, the vegetation and soil on the ground soaked with blood. Even with an SUV, the wheels were constantly slipping.

Moreover, a thick bloody smell permeated the battlefield. Even with all the car windows closed tightly, he could still smell it…

Enduring the urge to vomit, Zhao Dahai struggled to drive through the field of severed limbs and broken bodies towards the manor base. Duan Lei and the others naturally saw this car too.

Although there was only one person in the car, and it was even an acquaintance, Duan Lei still drove out directly to intercept Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai also cooperated by stopping the car, opening the door, getting out, and then patting himself, smiling as he said:

"I didn't bring any weapons, and there are no bombs in the car. In fact, you should know that I'm very afraid of death. No one could get me to be a car bomber! I'm here to talk to your leader, I mean… the leader of this base!"

Zhao Dahai certainly wouldn't mention Duan Lei's car here, because there were only Duan Lei and his group of four here, completely failing to achieve the effect he wanted!

"See the base leader?"

Duan Lei narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhao Dahai and asking:

"What's the matter?"

"About our attack this time, if I can talk to the base leader, maybe we'll withdraw our troops directly. After all, it's the apocalypse now, and there aren't many humans left, so if we can avoid a major war, we don't want to waste ammunition."

"How rare, you actually know that there aren't many humans left now?"

Duan Lei looked at the battlefield littered with corpses, sneering sarcastically.

"…"

Zhao Dahai was speechless. Indeed, what he said… after just slaughtering tens of thousands of people, it really wasn't convincing.

Fortunately, Duan Lei didn't continue to make things difficult for him, but just nodded to him and said:

"Alright, you want to see the base leader, right? Then go in!"

"Thank you!"

Zhao Dahai was overjoyed, and didn't drive, but followed Duan Lei's car into the manor.

At the entrance, Duan Lei got out of the car, had Duan Xue and the others guard the manor entrance, and led Zhao Dahai towards the defensive positions where Qingluan and the others were.

"Zhao Dahai, this is the leader of the manor base: Qingluan. You should have intelligence on her, so you can say what you need to say now!"

Duan Lei looked back at Zhao Dahai. Duan Lei had seen him before when Zhao Dahai was looking for Sun Qiang.

"Leader Qingluan, hello, I'm Zhao Dahai from the Fuxing (Revival) Base. I'm here on the orders of our leader to discuss something with you. As long as you agree, we'll withdraw our troops immediately and never actively engage in conflict with you again!"

Zhao Dahai had also seen Qingluan's video, so he nodded to Qingluan. As for the Fuxing Base, that was just a name he made up on the spot. After Lin Qiang occupied the military camp, he hadn't given it a name at all, because he didn't intend to keep it in the first place…
