Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 589 Did Lin Qiang Run Away?

"Good! Then let's keep waiting! Let's see what that bastard can come up with!"

The Fatty said with a sneer.

From the moment the mountain village was surrounded, Fatty and Tianya had never worried about themselves. Not to mention they had a space battle chariot, even without it, they could easily break through with their strength.

Moreover, they knew very well in their hearts that if things really got out of hand, Duan Lei would never let them risk their lives for the people of the mountain village.

So, during the previous battles, as the situation constantly changed, the only ones whose hearts went from heaven to hell and back again were the people in the mountain village, even though they hadn't really played any significant role in the fighting.

On the other hand, Duan Xue and Duan Lei, the siblings, really cared about the people in the mountain village. Duan Xue was a woman after all, and she was also very close to Qingluan now. As for Duan Lei, he simply wanted to help Li Chenzhou protect this mountain village!

The battle finally reached a stalemate. Lin Qiang's side was short on manpower and hadn't launched an attack, while Duan Lei remained calm and didn't plan to drive the chariot up to test the enemy's strength.

Soon, two days passed. During this time, there was no fighting between the two sides. The warriors in the mountain village's defense base even went into the residential buildings to rest.

Because there was already a large stock of supplies, and with the deaths of those tens of thousands of surrendered people, there was plenty of food and water in the mountain village, so there was no need to worry.

And as time went on, the longer it dragged on, the better it was for Duan Lei, because he knew that Li Chenzhou would definitely come back. As long as he came back, there would be nothing to worry about.

For one thing, he had already used up most of the chariot's ammunition, and Duan Lei had no way to replenish it. But once Li Chenzhou returned, all of that would be no problem!

Then, on the morning of the third day, Duan Lei was woken up by Tianya before he had even gotten out of bed:

"Lei-ge, come quick! They're retreating!!!"

"Retreating?"

Hearing this, Duan Lei immediately jumped out of bed and turned to look out the window.

Because the window itself was a virtual screen, there was no need to draw the curtains. So, Duan Lei saw at a glance that Lin Qiang's men were indeed retreating. Lin Qiang's RV, surrounded by the black-clad men on motorcycles, was leaving into the distance…

"That's not right… Did something happen to them?"

Duan Lei couldn't help but be stunned and muttered to himself.

If Lin Qiang wanted to retreat, he wouldn't have wasted two extra days here. He would have retreated long ago. Since he was waiting here, he must have been waiting for something.

But now, Lin Qiang's retreat really surprised Duan Lei. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he immediately teleported to the driver's seat and started the chariot to rush up.

Since Lin Qiang was retreating, there were only two possibilities. Either something went wrong with the reinforcements he was waiting for, in which case now was the perfect time to strike a drowning dog.

Or, some new enemy had appeared behind Lin Qiang, such as a large horde of zombies, so Lin Qiang was temporarily avoiding the situation, wanting the mountain village to fight the upcoming enemy so he could profit.

If that was the case, Duan Lei would still have to go take a look, at least to know what kind of enemy was coming, so he could prepare in advance!

The retreating Lin Qiang was naturally also watching Duan Lei. As soon as he saw the chariot chasing after him, they ran even faster, and the direction was actually the opposite of the military camp base.

Seeing Lin Qiang and his men leave in that direction, Duan Lei took a deep breath. He knew that this must be the second possibility, meaning that a new enemy had appeared. Otherwise, Lin Qiang should have retreated in the direction of the military camp base!

This was definitely not good news for Duan Lei. He would rather it was Lin Qiang's reinforcements than a new enemy appearing.

Lin Qiang was an enemy they were definitely going to face. So, if a new enemy really appeared, then after destroying the new enemy, they would definitely have to face Lin Qiang again.

No matter what the new enemy was, strong or weak, it would definitely take some effort to kill them, and might even result in mutual destruction.

But at this time, Duan Lei had no other choice. He could only turn around and drive in the opposite direction from Lin Qiang – to see what kind of new enemy could make Lin Qiang retreat temporarily.

In his heart, Duan Lei hoped it was a zombie horde, because Li Yunshan and the others were still resting in the chariot and had almost recovered.

Plus, with Xiaoya, they could all control zombies. If there really was a zombie horde, it would actually be a help to them. However, if it really was a zombie horde, Lin Qiang probably wouldn't have retreated so easily, because he also saw that they had the ability to control zombie hordes and wouldn't just let the zombie horde go to them, even if it meant using up ammunition to destroy them, he wouldn't let the mountain village get any benefits!!!

"Tianya, get out of the car and watch Lin Qiang and his men. If they come back to attack the mountain village, notify us as soon as possible!"

After letting Tianya out of the car, Duan Lei drove towards the city. After driving for more than ten kilometers, he saw a mighty convoy ahead.

Not a zombie horde, but humans!!!

Seeing this situation, Duan Lei's face became serious. This convoy was very long, and there should be a lot of people. Especially since Duan Lei could see that many people in the carriages of the convoy were holding weapons.

Now was the end of the world, and every human you met could be like Lin Qiang, eating people without spitting out bones, especially when the other party was stronger than you. They would either ask you to join them, or kill you and take everything you had.

Especially since Duan Lei knew about his chariot, its possession was a crime. Seeing the chariot he was driving, it was almost impossible for a convoy of this size not to try to rob it.

"It seems! It's time to kill to establish authority again!"

Duan Lei sighed helplessly.

If he turned around and ran, the other party would definitely not be able to catch up with him. But as long as the convoy continued along this road, they would definitely see the mountain village base.

Judging from the size of this convoy, it was certain that these guys didn't have a base. No exploration team could be this big.

So, as soon as they saw the mountain village base, they would definitely attack and rob it. So, since they were definitely going to fight, it was better for him to stay here and use some of the powerful weapons in the chariot to give the other party a show of force and scare them away.

So, Duan Lei stopped the car by the side of the road and quietly watched the approaching convoy.

But what Duan Lei didn't expect was that after discovering his car, the lead car of the opposing convoy suddenly accelerated, broke away from the convoy, and rushed towards him at high speed…
