Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 168 Setting Up a Checkpoint?
Feeling that the time was about right, and with over five hundred people in the group, Li Chenzhou decided to return directly to Wu Village. He pried open some vehicles along the way and had Fatty go back to find Duan Lei to organize those walking alongside the convoy to drive the cars.
Nowadays, almost any adult can drive, so drivers were easy to find. Li Chenzhou's lock-picking skills were also quite impressive, averaging about a dozen seconds per vehicle. As a result, their progress began to accelerate.
Especially in the later stages, with over two hundred vehicles, which should have been enough, Li Chenzhou simply ignored any cars that weren't blocking the road.
This made their advance even faster. The only downside was that this was just an ordinary road, unlike an elevated highway, which had guardrails and a certain height to block zombies. So, while moving forward, Li Chenzhou still had to lead people in constantly killing zombies.
Especially since the goal wasn't to kill more zombies, but to get out of the city as quickly as possible, Li Chenzhou didn't let those guys use guns. Instead, he went ahead and smashed everything with a stick, almost single-handedly wiping out all the zombies blocking their path.
This scene left the convoy behind, especially the combat team members and Fatty, Tian Ya, and others who hadn't witnessed Li Chenzhou's full power, dumbfounded. Everyone looked at Li Chenzhou with a mixture of respect and awe, and even Tian Ya, Fatty, Wang Yuanqiang, and others had a strong sense of admiration in their eyes.
In just over an hour, Li Chenzhou and his group returned to the location where they had encountered the little hamster. The car they had driven before was still there. Since the car was originally intact and the keys were also available, Li Chenzhou randomly found two people to drive it away as well.
In addition, Li Chenzhou looked towards the logistics depot and found that Luo Hong had indeed done well. He had actually used cars to build a simple wall outside. Moreover, Li Chenzhou could clearly see that on the top floor of the logistics depot, there were seven or eight people with guns and binoculars on guard!
Those people had already seen the convoy, but Luo Hong didn't make any move, and Li Chenzhou didn't plan to send these people to Luo Hong either!
Luo Hong had weapons, but the place was a bit small. More importantly, although the logistics depot also had some compressed dry food, it mainly focused on weapons. Sending these people over would only increase the pressure on Luo Hong.
Moreover, since these were two separate groups of survivors, those brought by Li Chenzhou and his group had never fought alongside Luo Hong and his people. In that case, the base might be divided into two factions, which would definitely leave hidden dangers!
Especially under the deliberate cultivation of Duan Lei and Li Chenzhou, Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang had already gained a certain amount of prestige within the group. Therefore, the best way now was to let them go to Wu Village, and after things had settled down, introduce them to Luo Hong.
The two bases were not far apart and could exchange resources. Because of Li Chenzhou's introduction, there shouldn't be any fighting between them, which would be the best outcome.
So, Li Chenzhou directly led the convoy into the urban village they had cleared before. Although it had been cleaned up once, some scattered zombies still appeared in the alleys when they entered again.
Seeing this scene, Li Chenzhou was not surprised. It was like this in his previous life. It seemed that zombies could never be completely eliminated. Even if a block was completely cleaned, with not a single zombie, many scattered zombies would still appear in the block after a few days. If it was a long time, even a small horde of zombies would appear!
No one knew where these zombies came from. Some people even joked that this was like the monster spawning in a game, to ensure they had enough zombies to "level up"!
However, since they hadn't been gone for long, zombies only appeared sporadically. From beginning to end, Li Chenzhou had only killed thirty or so zombies before leading the team out of the urban village and onto the road to Wu Village!
At this time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was starting to darken. Fortunately, the convoy had enough living supplies, such as tents, emergency lights, gas stoves, etc. As long as they entered Wu Village, settled the people down, and made dinner, there would be no problem.
"Boss! It seems... Wu Village is already occupied!"
Driving on the cement road leading to Wu Village, Duan Lei suddenly picked up his binoculars, looked around, and then said to Li Chenzhou.
Li Chenzhou had already seen that there were two cars blocking the entrance to Wu Village, and even a roadblock in the middle.
"Yeah! It looks like they're not trying to stop zombies!"
Looking at the simple roadblock, Li Chenzhou nodded, but didn't pay much attention to it.
When he came back, he had already thought of this. After all, they had rescued a lot of people from the urban village before. Their only choice was Wu Village! Because this road led to Wu Village on one end and the city on the other, and they certainly wouldn't go to the city.
"Stop! Everyone get out of the car and accept inspection!"
Finally, the massive convoy approached Wu Village. Several burly men who had been standing behind the roadblock for a long time, holding machetes and other cold weapons, looked a little frightened, but the leader still shouted loudly.
At this time, more than a dozen men in Wu Village behind them also rushed towards this side with various weapons!
"Accept inspection? What do you want to inspect?"
Li Chenzhou got out of the car and walked towards the roadblock, saying:
"You should all have run out of the urban village, right? You should all know me! I rescued you and let you come to Wu Village, but I didn't let you set up checkpoints to inspect me!"
"There are too many zombies now. We must check. Also, you must hand over all your weapons before you can enter the village!"
A burly man shouted loudly.
"Zombies? When have you ever seen zombies sitting obediently in a car? Besides, if there really were zombies, would you dare to check?"
Li Chenzhou's face darkened, and he shouted:
"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite. I can save you, and I can kill you too!"
"This is our village. What do you want to do?"
At this time, the dozen or so people behind finally ran over. After seeing Li Chenzhou, the leader's face also changed. He recognized Li Chenzhou, but still gritted his teeth and asked:
"Although it's the end of the world, there are still laws. If you want to enter the village, you must abide by our village's rules!!!"
"Your village?"
Li Chenzhou suddenly pointed to the direction of the mine:
"All the people in Wu Village, including livestock such as chickens, ducks, and geese, have died in the mine in the mountains. Where did you come from?"
"Those people... did you kill them?"
Unexpectedly, hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the man's face suddenly changed...
