Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 579 Prerequisites for Cooperation

These soldiers were another mistake on Lin Qiang's part. Unfortunately, very few soldiers possessed the kind of mind that one of them did, especially in a situation where they were attacked from both sides.

Most people were thinking about how to survive, and no one was considering what was really happening!

So, even though those soldiers did charge forward, very few people followed them. They didn't even inflict any damage on the men in black before they all fell in pools of blood!

However, their deaths were not entirely without value. At least, their words were heard by other survivors, and then spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, constantly expanding among the crowd.

The only pity was that these survivors and soldiers could truly be called a disorganized mob. At this moment, they only wanted to survive. To get them to unite and attack one side was simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, under the powerful firepower of the men in black, all the survivors retreated behind the wall. However, they didn't charge towards the mountain village, because either way meant death!

Just when these survivors thought that hiding behind the wall would allow them to escape, several people in the ranks of the men in black suddenly took out strange weapons and fired a large number of grenade-like shells at the battlefield covered with the shattered corpses of those who had surrendered.

These shells didn't seem to have much attack power. They didn't explode when they landed, but instead released a large amount of thick smoke, quickly covering the ground full of broken corpses.

The survivors hiding behind the wall didn't expect the men in black to suddenly stop attacking them. Instead, they fired the smoke-releasing shells at the area where they had previously slaughtered those who surrendered, which made them wonder.

That area was full of corpses. Even if there were still some people who hadn't died yet, they had completely lost their ability to fight. Why were those men in black firing shells there?

Although they thought it was a good thing that the men in black weren't attacking them, everyone knew that there must be a reason for doing so.

Duan Lei was also staring at the battlefield shrouded in smoke. He was thinking even more than those people. Moreover, the men in black in the distance gave Duan Lei a very dangerous feeling, especially those holding the strange weapons.

"What do we do? Hiding here isn't a solution! They're definitely going to force us to attack the mountain village!"

"We're doomed! In this goddamn world, human lives are worthless. Let's die, let's all die together!"

"Wuwuwuwu! I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!"

"Look, what's that?"

"Heavens! What is that monster?"

"Such a big zombie..."

"..."

Just when those survivors thought they might die soon and were howling behind the wall, those who had been staring at the smoke-covered area suddenly pointed and shouted in horror.

Following their guidance, all the other survivors also looked over, and then, everyone opened their mouths wide, their eyes full of shock and fear...

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Hundreds of huge figures emerged from the smoke. Each figure was six meters tall, and they made a loud noise as they walked, causing the earth to tremble constantly under their footsteps.

These figures looked quite terrifying. Their entire bodies were completely composed of broken corpses, including their huge heads, and two human heads were embedded in the positions of the eyes.

The broken corpses that made up the bodies of these monsters were all pieced together, and they didn't seem very sturdy. Not only were there gaps between the pieces of corpses all over the monsters' bodies, making them look like shattered windshields, but pieces of flesh and bones were constantly falling off their bodies as they moved.

"Giant zombies?"

Seeing these giants, Duan Lei felt a sinking feeling in his heart and turned to look at the men in black.

"So... those guys... are Devourers?"

Duan Lei looked solemnly at those men in black who were wrapped from head to toe, especially those who had previously fired smoke shells with strange weapons!

On the other side, giant zombies continued to emerge from the smoke, and as the number of giant zombies increased, the smoke gradually decreased. Finally, when the smoke completely disappeared, the number of giant zombies surrounding the mountain village was already two or three thousand.

All the giant zombies were facing the mountain village, ignoring the men in black behind them. Obviously, the giant zombies created by the men in black firing smoke would not attack them.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Thousands of giant zombies all strode towards the mountain village. The roaring sound of their footsteps merged into one, and the vibration of the earth, as well as the sense of oppression brought by the giant zombies, caused the survivors to collapse on the ground, watching the approaching giant zombies with pale faces.

Some survivors also turned around and ran, rushing towards Duan Lei's defensive position. They had now forgotten that the mountain village was also their enemy, and only wanted to get as far away from those terrifying monsters as possible.

Lin Qiang was also stunned by this scene. Among the men in black, some were "death warriors" he had trained since childhood, while others were people with white hair.

Those people had taken the initiative to find Lin Qiang, showed him their strength, and promised him many benefits, one of which was to turn him into a level-three ability user.

That's right, Lin Qiang is now also a level-three ability user, but he has never revealed it. For someone like him, the later he reveals his trump card, the better.

Because he could get benefits, Lin Qiang agreed to the other party's conditions. Coincidentally, the other party's target was also Duan Lei and his people. Moreover, the other party seemed to only want to hide their identity and kill Duan Lei, as for Duan Lei's belongings, they didn't want any of them!

This was exactly what Lin Qiang wanted, so he readily agreed. Moreover, he also provided the white-haired people with the same clothes as the child soldiers he had trained, so that they wouldn't have to reveal their true faces.

Lin Qiang even provided the Devourers with some physically strong young survivors. For Lin Qiang, as long as it wasn't him and there were enough benefits, he could abandon anyone, even his children.

But now, after seeing these giant zombies, Lin Qiang's face also became serious. He knew that these white-haired people were very powerful, and even realized long ago that they were not human, or at least different from humans.

But he didn't care about that. What he cared about was his own future. And now, the strength displayed by these white-haired people made Lin Qiang feel a sense of crisis, because even if he could get the chariot as he wished, it seemed that he had no ability to resist these giant zombies...
