Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 585 Accidents Happen Frequently
"Boom boom boom boom…"
With each roar, one of the men in black would be torn to pieces. Even if a Death Howl bullet flew by, it would rip off a chunk of flesh. That was how Lin Qiang lost his ear, let alone being hit directly.
The first man in black that Duan Xue sniped at, even though she aimed for the head, not only had his entire head exploded, but his chest was also torn apart, and his arms were reduced to only forearms, flung away by the kinetic energy of the bullet.
Now, to pursue speed, Duan Xue simply stopped aiming for the head and shot directly at the torso. Regardless of where she hit, the target was guaranteed to be gone!
Because of Lin Qiang's previous orders, his child soldiers were gathered together, some distance away from the Devourers. Although they wore the same clothes, their positions were clearly defined, making it easier for Duan Xue and ensuring that she wouldn't accidentally injure them.
After a dozen of their comrades died, the Devourers finally realized something was wrong. All those being sniped were their people, not a single one of Lin Qiang's children!
This couldn't possibly be a coincidence. The Devourers had only cooperated with Lin Qiang because they valued the people under his command!
Although using mutated poison gas bombs directly could turn all of Lin Qiang's people into giant zombies, that could only be done at the military camp base, and then the giant zombies would have to walk to the villa.
Although the Devourers could control giant zombies, they could only issue simple commands, such as attacking something. Controlling them to travel was possible, but too troublesome.
That was why they had found Lin Qiang and asked him to cooperate, directly transferring his people to the villa. Furthermore, they had them attack the villa first. Regardless of whose people died, as long as there were enough corpses, it was fine.
The Devourers and Lin Qiang's plan was for Lin Qiang to send people to attack the villa first to see the villa's reaction and test its strength!
Afterward, Lin Qiang would bring the people from the military camp over and force them to charge, creating a large number of corpses. At that time, Lin Qiang didn't know why the Devourers wanted to do this, and the Devourers hadn't told Lin Qiang about their need for a large number of corpses.
Therefore, Lin Qiang just thought that maybe the Devourers wanted to weaken the number of humans. His only goal was the war chariot, and he wouldn't care how many people died, so he readily agreed.
Neither Lin Qiang nor the Devourers expected that they hadn't even started a probing attack, but just threatened from the outside, and so many people in the villa surrendered.
This was naturally a good thing for Lin Qiang, but not so pleasant for the Devourers, because what they wanted was corpses, not people!
If Lin Qiang accepted these tens of thousands of people and sent them all back, it would be equivalent to losing fifty to sixty thousand corpses for nothing!
Therefore, the Devourers urgently contacted Lin Qiang and told him to execute all these people, leaving none alive. Although Lin Qiang wasn't very willing, he hadn't gotten the war chariot yet and didn't want to ruin the alliance in advance. Plus, he wasn't a benevolent person, so he agreed.
That was why the surrendered were attacked by both the villa and Lin Qiang's people, and Lin Qiang even used mortars to kill all the surrendered.
With these fifty to sixty thousand corpses, the Devourers' plan could actually be carried out, but for the Devourers, they wouldn't mind weakening the strength of humanity even more.
Therefore, the battle continued, and Lin Qiang finally called all the survivors from the military camp over, completely surrounding the villa, and then launched an attack!
At this time, the Devourers and Lin Qiang each had their own plans.
The Devourers were thinking that it would be best if the villa and Lin Qiang's people fought to the death, leaving neither side with many people left. That way, there would definitely be corpses everywhere.
At this time, they could directly launch mutated shells and turn the corpses into giant zombies! That would directly wipe out everyone else left!
As for their alliance with Lin Qiang? What a joke. When have you ever seen people keep promises to pigs and sheep? Food is food, don't think too much!
As for Lin Qiang, he wasn't really interested in the villa. What he wanted was that war chariot!
Because he already knew that there was space inside the war chariot, Lin Qiang thought that after he snatched the war chariot, he could take his child soldiers wherever he wanted to go.
The war chariot itself had defensive and offensive capabilities, plus the hundreds of child soldiers who were absolutely loyal to him, Lin Qiang felt that he could walk sideways in this apocalypse.
As for the Devourers, he would see about it then. If he could destroy them, that would naturally be best. If he couldn't, then he would leave. Anyway, with the war chariot, he wouldn't need the base. At worst, he would stay far away from here and never come back.
The world is so big, where can't he go?
Afterward, because Lao Wu sneaked away, causing a gap in the encirclement, Lin Qiang's second plan failed. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the Devourers simply revealed their trump card and launched mutated shells.
The Devourers wouldn't let those survivors escape. To them, they were both food and strengthening material for giant zombies. If these humans escaped, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for them!
Moreover, in the Devourers' view, there were already enough corpses. The people of the villa and Lin Qiang, all added together, couldn't possibly stop the giant zombies.
Therefore, the Devourers decisively launched mutated shells, but they didn't expect that after the giant zombies appeared, the inexplicably appearing zombie horde, as well as Xiaoya's appearance, actually allowed the villa to withstand the giant zombies' attack!
As Devourers, they possessed the ability to control zombies, and in their view, only they could control zombies. Otherwise, they wouldn't create zombies first when invading each world.
One was to allow the life in this world to increase in level, becoming more to their liking, and the other was that they could use zombies to completely control the world they invaded!
Therefore, when the zombie horde appeared, the Devourers didn't really care, because in their view, as long as they took action, they could control the zombie horde, turning the zombie horde that was originally used to block the giant zombies into nourishment for the giant zombies, allowing them to quickly become stronger…
