Those soldiers' gun muzzles were still smoking, and the manor was also filled with black smoke, as if a great battle had just ended.

The walls of the manor had been completely flattened, and behind them were makeshift bunkers made of vehicles and sandbags. Many people holding weapons were lying behind the bunkers.

"Xiao Lei! We're out of ammo! What do we do?"

Inside the manor, Gray Bear, covered in dirt and blood, gasped for breath and asked:

"The walls are gone, and the temporary fortifications won't hold for long. You have to retreat!"

"We?"

Duan Lei frowned at Gray Bear.

"Yes! I'll lead some men to attack the main gate head-on. You take them and drive out the back!"

A savage look appeared on Gray Bear's face:

"I'm a soldier! How could I retreat from a bunch of trash? I'm staying here, even if it means death! I'll rip that bastard Lin Qiang's head off first!!!"

That's right, the people besieging the manor were all subordinates of Lin Tianci's father – Lin Qiang!

Ever since suffering a loss at the hands of Li Chenzhou last time, Lin Tianci had been constantly thinking about revenge, continually urging his father.

And Lin Qiang naturally wouldn't take a loss lying down. He started out in the underworld and was a violent man. After accumulating a large amount of wealth, he slowly began to whitewash himself, but he always maintained his grip on the darker side of things.

The arrival of the apocalypse allowed Lin Qiang's true nature to be unleashed, and he no longer had any scruples!

However, Lin Qiang was a man who had experienced great storms. He wasn't as impulsive as Lin Tianci. After Li Chenzhou killed his men, Lin Qiang was able to hold his ground!

He wasn't in a hurry to seek revenge on Li Chenzhou, because he knew the strength of his own men. If Li Chenzhou could kill his most outstanding sniper, then that young man was definitely not to be underestimated.

Therefore, Lin Qiang simply sent people to follow Li Chenzhou from a distance, tracking his contacts with various bases. He even sent people into the prison, the armory, and Wu Village Base to act as spies.

For Lin Qiang, if he found an enemy to be powerful, then he definitely couldn't act rashly. He had previously thought that Li Chenzhou was just a college student who had just experienced the apocalypse, and there was definitely no danger, so he could just pinch him to death.

But unexpectedly, Li Chenzhou's performance surprised him, so Lin Qiang began to be cautious and started his own plan!

While monitoring Li Chenzhou and the bases close to him, collecting information about Li Chenzhou, Lin Qiang sent people everywhere to search for survivors and expand his power.

Because he had connections from before the apocalypse, and because he discovered that Li Chenzhou was very powerful, Lin Qiang changed his style. As a result, a large number of survivors were gathered under his command!

At that time, Lin Qiang's base was also near Qing City. Later, the people he sent to follow Li Chenzhou discovered Zhang Hu, and naturally also saw Zhang Hu's army of mutated cats.

This situation made Lin Qiang feel a sense of crisis. He had thought about subduing Zhang Hu, but after learning from Lin Tianci about Zhang Hu's relationship with Li Chenzhou before the apocalypse, he dismissed the idea!

People who were close friends before the apocalypse and have been together ever since are not so easily persuaded, and it is easy to expose oneself. Fortunately, Zhang Hu later focused his attention on the center of Qing City and did not notice their base, so Lin Qiang just had people monitor Zhang Hu without taking any other action!

And the people who had been observing Li Chenzhou's actions from afar naturally discovered that Li Chenzhou's car was very unusual. This made Lin Qiang determined to kill Li Chenzhou, eliminate this hidden danger, and seize that magical car!

After that, they discovered that Li Chenzhou had left Qing City. The trackers didn't dare to continue chasing him, because in the city or near the city, they could hide at high points to observe Li Chenzhou's actions.

But once Li Chenzhou left the city, if they chased after him, they would definitely be discovered by Li Chenzhou. After all, this was the apocalypse, and it was difficult to see vehicles driving on the highway!

In the past, when he was in the underworld, and even after he whitewashed himself, Lin Qiang's subordinates often used various methods of stalking, either to find some bad behavior of officials and use it as a handle to make them work for him, or to collect information about business opponents and look for opportunities to destroy or threaten them.

Therefore, their stalking was quite professional and extremely secretive, and they were never discovered by Li Chenzhou!

After that, Lin Qiang sent out many of his subordinates, pretending to be ordinary survivors, and followed the direction Li Chenzhou left to find him. Finally, they found Li Chenzhou again in Qi City.

After that, they also discovered the manor base, as well as what happened later when Li Chenzhou and the others encountered in the center of Qi City!

When Lin Qiang heard that Li Chenzhou and the special forces Gray Bear had mysteriously disappeared, he immediately knew that his chance had come!

He didn't know where Li Chenzhou had gone, and he didn't know if he could come back, but that war chariot was still here, and he could kill the people left here first!

Because all along, Gray Bear had been involved in the most battles with Li Chenzhou. Even when Duan Lei took action, ordinary people couldn't see his role, after all, he was a mental ability user.

Therefore, in the information Lin Qiang had, the most powerful person in Li Chenzhou's team was Li Chenzhou, followed by Gray Bear, then Duan Xue and Fatty, and Duan Lei and Tian Ya were ranked behind them.

Now that the two most powerful people had mysteriously disappeared, wasn't it the perfect time for them to attack?

In addition, two people in the returned information caught Lin Qiang's attention, namely "First Protagonist" Zhao Dahai and Sun Qiang!

This Zhao Dahai had a conflict with Li Chenzhou before, and now he has his own base, which is someone who can be used. As for Sun Qiang, he was just a security guard at the manor. After meeting Li Chenzhou, he soared into the sky and became an ability user.

Moreover, Lin Qiang also investigated that Sun Qiang became an ability user after seeing Li Chenzhou for the first time. After that, he went out to kill crazily, and after meeting Li Chenzhou again, he actually leveled up.

Killing, leveling up, ability user, there must be some connection between them. Lin Qiang felt that Sun Qiang might know some of the secrets of Li Chenzhou.

So, he began to send people to contact Sun Qiang and Zhao Dahai. Neither of these two were from the manor base. Even Sun Qiang would just kill zombies outside when he had nothing to do, and find a closed space to rest in the city at night. He didn't go back to the manor at all!

The process of contacting Sun Qiang was quite smooth. When they found Sun Qiang, after a little probing, they stated their purpose, and Sun Qiang actually agreed without any hesitation.

Lin Qiang didn't find it strange, after all, this guy only met Li Chenzhou here. There should be no friendship between the two. In this apocalypse, in order to survive, many people can betray even their relatives, so what's so strange about Sun Qiang?
