Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 117 Breakthrough
This indicated that one of Gray Bear's attributes had reached 18 points, though it wasn't yet clear which one, as follower information wasn't displayed in detail.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Gray Bear get out of the car and head towards the building with a murderous look, Li Chenzhou quickly stopped him and asked.
"I'm going to kill that bastard!"
Gray Bear replied through gritted teeth.
"I gave you the potion so you wouldn't die!"
Li Chenzhou frowned:
"Do you think you can rush up there and kill him with your current strength?"
"How will I know if I don't try?"
Gray Bear continued to stare at Leopard:
"The whole team is down to just me, I have to avenge the Captain and the others!"
"That's exactly why you should stay alive!"
Li Chenzhou said:
"Besides, have you thought about one thing? When you rush up there, the first ones you'll face will be your Captain and the others. Are you… ready to kill them with your own hands?"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Gray Bear suddenly froze, looking towards Li Yunshan and the others behind Leopard.
That's right, they had become zombies now, and based on Li Yunshan's previous actions, they were all controlled by Leopard. If he were to rush up there, Leopard would definitely make them attack him.
What would he do then? Kill the Captain and the others?
"I gave you the potion so you could escape from here. As for Leopard… he won't leave. Focus on increasing your strength. When you're confident enough, then come back and kill him!"
Li Chenzhou patted Gray Bear on the shoulder.
"Gray Bear! Why don't you come up here and show me how strong you've become?"
At that moment, Leopard looked down at Gray Bear and shouted:
"Don't worry, I'll let you come up. No zombies will stop you!"
As Leopard spoke, the zombies in front of the building actually cleared a path.
"Leopard, remember what the Captain always said? Whatever the enemy wants to do, we must do everything to stop it!"
Gray Bear, who had been somewhat hesitant, suddenly smiled after hearing Leopard's words. He looked up at Leopard and shouted:
"And you, are now my enemy. You want me to go up? You can try begging me!"
"Maybe I don't need to beg you!"
Leopard actually smiled as well. Then, with a wave of his hand, a dozen zombies dragged seven or eight survivors tied together to the edge of the rooftop:
"See them? They haven't been bitten yet, they're still human. If you come up, I can let them go and guarantee that the zombies won't attack them! But if you refuse, I'll have those zombies bite them to death right in front of you!"
"The Captain and the others… they gave up resisting like this, and you turned them into zombies, didn't you?"
Looking at these people, Gray Bear suddenly realized why there were no signs of fighting in the hall of the Qin Ting Hotel. He understood Li Yunshan. If Li Yunshan were standing here now, he would likely walk into that building as Leopard asked, sacrificing himself to let those strangers he didn't even know leave.
"That's right! But I also kept my promise and let all the survivors in the hotel go. As for these people, I found them in this building!"
Leopard nodded:
"What do you say? You always listened to the Captain. You know what choice he would make, even… if he were still conscious, he might order you to come up! So… what's your choice now?"
"Bang!"
Before Leopard could finish speaking, Gray Bear suddenly raised his gun and fired at Leopard on the rooftop. However, Leopard had been wary of Gray Bear and quickly dodged to the side.
"Go!"
After firing that shot, Gray Bear immediately ran towards the armored vehicle, shouting loudly. Li Chenzhou was stunned, not expecting that his persuasion for so long was less effective than Leopard's invitation.
"Ah! Help! Don't…"
At the same time, screams and cries for help suddenly came from the rooftop. The zombies holding the survivors were beginning to tear them apart, but these cries did not slow Gray Bear's movements. He acted as if he hadn't heard them and ran straight back to the armored vehicle.
Li Chenzhou naturally followed, then got into the driver's seat. Gray Bear returned to the sunroof, his rifle aimed at the rooftop.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot rang out, but this one came from the rooftop. The shooter was naturally Leopard.
Although he had become a Zombie King, he could still use a gun. After turning Li Yunshan and the others into zombies, Leopard had kept all their guns.
Leopard's target was Gray Bear. Unfortunately, Gray Bear had anticipated this. The moment Leopard fired, he ducked down into the vehicle, even sticking his gun out of the sunroof to return fire at Leopard on the rooftop.
The surrounding zombies were now swarming like a tide. Because the zombie horde had moved ahead of time, Li Chenzhou and the others were almost in the center of it. The horde's movement was a terrifying sight.
Li Chenzhou immediately stepped on the gas pedal. The armored vehicle suddenly turned around and drove back the way it had come. Leopard continued to shoot from the rooftop, but the rifle bullets did little damage to the armored vehicle. They only made a series of clangs, sending sparks flying.
"Boom boom boom!"
Although Leopard continued to shoot, Gray Bear had no intention of closing the sunroof. He opened a box, took out high-explosive grenades, and threw them one after another in the vehicle's path, blasting away the zombies blocking the way.
It seemed that Leopard was determined to keep Li Chenzhou and the others there. He had sent out a large number of zombies, even blocking the entire road. This made Li Chenzhou's expression turn grim.
The zombies certainly couldn't destroy the armored vehicle, but they could trap Li Chenzhou and the others. With such a dense horde, it would be difficult to break through once the armored vehicle lost power.
If they abandoned the vehicle, it would be even more dangerous. Not to mention the current situation, even when the instructor was possessing him, Li Chenzhou wasn't sure he could break through.
"Quick! Full speed! Ram through!"
Gray Bear obviously understood this, so he kept throwing grenades forward. In fact, the grenades didn't do much damage to the zombies, as their only weak point was the head. His purpose in using the grenades was only to clear a path and reduce the density of the zombies!
Without Gray Bear's urging, Li Chenzhou knew that he had to maintain his speed and couldn't stop. He had already floored the accelerator, and the armored vehicle roared as it crashed into the zombie horde on the road…
