Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 246 Why Not Bet?
Duan Lei said to Gray Bear.
The Darknight War Chariot didn't just have headlights in the front. However, to avoid being too conspicuous, they usually only used the front ones. But in this situation, they obviously couldn't worry about that. So, they turned on all the lights, instantly illuminating the entire prison yard!!!
Entering the prison yard, there was no reaction. It seemed there were no ambushes. Seeing this, Duan Lei told Gray Bear to drive the car to the prison cell windows and see who was inside.
Although he didn't know the situation in the prison, Duan Lei was certain that Ding Ning and the others would never use the bodies of the prison guards as traps or bait.
So, even if it was unlikely, Duan Lei thought the people in the cells might be Ding Ning and his group!
As they entered the yard and passed the corpses, Duan Lei had carefully examined them. Ding Ning's body wasn't among them, but there was one he had personally cultivated.
That was a burly man in his forties named Wang Li, with a very open personality. Perhaps after Ding Ning took over, the only one who didn't hold any grudges was him.
But now, that Wang Li, who spoke like thunder and constantly patted his chest, was hanging from a pole with a rope around his neck. And, at this moment, he was still struggling.
That's right, Wang Li had become a zombie. He must have been hanged. Originally, a zombie's face should be indigo, but Wang Li's was purplish-black, with his tongue sticking out. But his head wasn't damaged, so he became a zombie.
Many other survivors were in the same state. They had all died the same way, by hanging.
This made Duan Lei feel heavy-hearted. One reason was that these people had died so tragically, and the other was that it was clearly done by humans. Whether it was writing on the outer wall or hanging people alive, zombies and mutated beasts couldn't do such things.
And if humans had hanged so many people, it certainly wasn't something one person could do. What's more, Ding Ning had received the evolutionary serum from Li Chenzhou, greatly increasing his combat power. With him in charge, such a thing still happened.
Who were these people? And how did they possess such power?
After entering the yard, Duan Lei carefully observed the surroundings and found no ambushes. The only place that could be used as an ambush was the gatehouse, but that space wasn't large. Duan Lei had personally gone inside to prepare to open the gate, so he knew very well that it could only hide about twenty or thirty people at most.
And on the poles, even without counting the prison guards, there were at least seventy or eighty survivors hanging. Plus, setting up so many poles, could that be done by just over thirty people?
Thirty-odd people would have trouble taking over the prison in the first place. Not to mention Ding Ning's strength, this prison had an armory. Once he discovered armed forces approaching, Ding Ning would definitely take out those weapons.
Moreover, Duan Lei had carefully examined the prison's outer wall and found no traces of battle. He could see some in the yard, but not much evidence of firearms.
In short, the information he could gather wasn't enough for Duan Lei to analyze what had happened in the prison!
“Xiao Lei! It seems there's no one in the cells?”
At this time, Gray Bear had driven the Darkblood to the opposite side of a prison window and found no movement in the cells. He couldn't see any signs of people. He couldn't help but say:
“Should I get out of the car and take a look? Maybe it's the angle!”
“No! Don’t get out. Let Fatty go!”
Duan Lei said:
“Fatty, be careful. Don't be stingy with your skills. As soon as you hear or see anything, activate your skills and talents!”
The current situation was strange. Duan Lei hadn't deduced any useful information, so sending Fatty out was safer. After all, he was defense-oriented, and his talents and skills were currently usable!
“Got it!”
Fatty agreed, then got up, opened the car door, and got out.
He looked around, but there was still no movement. The entire prison was completely silent. Even the hanging zombies couldn't roar because their necks were being strangled.
“No movement?”
Seeing this, Duan Lei's expression became serious.
He had originally thought that Fatty would be attacked the moment he got out of the car, which was why he had reminded Fatty so much earlier.
The moment of opening the door was the best time to attack. For one thing, people had no space to dodge. For another, if they killed someone, they could directly rush into the car, leaving the people inside with no escape!
But now, either the people lying in ambush were very patient, or… they had already left, which was why there was no movement!
Of course, the latter situation was safer, but for Duan Lei, he definitely didn't want it to be the latter, because that meant the prison was completely empty, including Ding Ning and all the survivors!
Actually, Duan Lei didn't have any deep feelings for Ding Ning. But after all, this was the base they had established, and they had fought side by side with many people. Duan Lei certainly didn't want them to die like this!
And at this time, because there was no movement, Fatty walked towards the prison cell window. He was very confident now. No matter how powerful the trap was, it couldn't kill him instantly.
And because of the Darknight's characteristics, as long as he had two seconds, he could return to the front of the car and then use space teleportation to return to the car!
However, even when Fatty arrived at the window, there was still no movement. He looked up at the window above his head, looking a little troubled!
“Hahahaha! Fatty! How many times have I told you to lose weight, but you wouldn't! How about it? Your belly is sticking out, so you can't climb up, right? Hahahaha!”
At this time, Gray Bear seemed to have thought of something, suddenly reached out and opened the car door, laughing loudly!
Then, Gray Bear actually got out of the car, without closing the door, and swaggered to the front of the car, jumped up, sat on the hood, and looked at Fatty:
“It's just a broken prison! I don't believe there's anything good inside. And let me tell you! That window in front of you is probably the cell window!
In this kind of world, rich people probably aren't even being cared about, let alone these criminals. No one can remember to release them.
So, even if you climb up and look inside, there's only a zombie there, you won't see anything else! Do you want to bet on it?”
Fatty looked back at Gray Bear, wondering what this guy meant, but still followed his lead:
“What's wrong with the prison? At least there's food in the prison, right? The most important thing now is food, what do you know!”
“Too bad you didn't bet! Otherwise, you would have already won, because behind that window, there isn't just one zombie, but many people, just like you, living people!!!”
Before Fatty could finish speaking, a figure suddenly darted out like lightning, speaking as he came to the car door. But he didn't rush in. He just leaned against the door and said to Fatty…
