Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 665 Hongli's Miserable State
Therefore, the moment Li Chenzhou sat down at the table, at least ten sniper rifles were already aimed at his head.
However, Wang Zifeng knew that Li Chenzhou was strong and didn't dare to let those guys act first. He needed to see him make the corresponding gesture, or for an accident to occur in the hall, before the snipers could shoot.
Unfortunately, although an accident did happen, it happened too quickly, and the snipers simply didn't have time to react.
At first, it seemed that everything was under control. After drinking the poisoned wine, Li Chenzhou, Jin Yuan, and those close to Jin Yuan were all poisoned. Wang Zifeng had already aimed his gun at the target's head, so the snipers naturally wouldn't fire.
But no one expected that Li Chenzhou hadn't drunk the poisoned wine at all. Knowing that the other party was hostile, how could Li Chenzhou casually eat and drink here?
When he poured the wine into his mouth, he used the War Chariot's teleportation ability to send it directly into the War Chariot. It looked like he had drunk the wine, but he hadn't touched a drop.
Then, after pretending to be poisoned and clearing up his doubts, Li Chenzhou immediately teleported himself back to the War Chariot, and then teleported out again, appearing directly opposite Wang Zifeng.
After killing Wang Zifeng, he immediately released the fog of war and killed all the ability users who were clearly there to deal with him. After that, he took Jin Yuan back to the War Chariot.
During this process, the snipers had no chance to fire. And after entering the War Chariot, not only could the War Chariot's defense completely withstand sniper bullets, but Li Chenzhou had returned directly to the living room. The War Chariot was driven by the AI, so the snipers couldn't see Li Chenzhou at all. How could they shoot?
Moreover, most importantly, all the snipers had seen that their leader, Wang Zifeng, and the strong people in their base were all dead, without a single one remaining.
Even the head was dead. Even if they could see Li Chenzhou, they probably had already lost the courage to shoot!
However, they didn't fire, but the AI wouldn't be polite. It always took Li Chenzhou's orders as its highest directive. Therefore, on the way to that building, the two beam machine guns that flipped out of the War Chariot kept firing, and beams of light flew like lightning toward the surrounding high points, killing all the snipers hiding there!
Of course, the AI was strictly executing Li Chenzhou's orders. Therefore, it only killed those who were still pointing their guns at the War Chariot. Those who were holding weapons but hadn't turned their guns this way were lucky enough to escape.
"Bang!"
The War Chariot crashed directly through a wall of the building and rushed inside. Under Jin Yuan's guidance, Li Chenzhou found the entrance to the underground prison. He stopped the car, then pulled Jin Yuan out of the car and walked down the stairs.
The prison was guarded, and because it was an underground prison, they didn't know what had happened above. Seeing Jin Yuan leading Li Chenzhou in, they were all surprised.
"Open the door!"
Jin Yuan said directly to the two guards.
The guards exchanged glances, both feeling that something was wrong, because they knew that Jin Yuan was now just a puppet and was no longer their leader.
However, they recognized Li Chenzhou and knew how strong he was. Especially the guards here, who were just ordinary people. No matter how extravagant, Wang Zifeng wouldn't send ability users to guard Hongli, who in his eyes was useless. If he hadn't been afraid of accidents, he would have waited until he killed Li Chenzhou before killing Hongli. Otherwise, he would have dragged Hongli out to feed the zombies long ago.
Seeing the two guards hesitate, a murderous look flashed in Li Chenzhou's eyes. He had seen these two people before. He had rescued them from the city. Now, not only did they not greet him, but they even wanted to stop him?
Just as Li Chenzhou was about to kill the two guards, the two guards felt that something was wrong, so they quickly opened the prison door and stepped aside.
Li Chenzhou snorted coldly, stepped into the prison, and Hongli quickly followed.
At the first sight of Hongli, Li Chenzhou's heart was filled with anger. He suddenly regretted that he seemed to have let Wang Zifeng die too easily. If he had come to the prison first and seen Hongli's miserable state, he would have let Wang Zifeng live for a few more months, and he would have regretted why he was born every moment.
Hongli was imprisoned in the innermost part of the underground prison. This was the lowest cell in the entire prison. The cell was filled with waist-deep water, and Hongli was hung on the wall of this cell.
His arms were spread open, and his hands were pierced directly through the palms by nails and nailed to the wall. The whole person was hanging by the two nails that held his hands, but these two nails were enough to support Hongli's body.
Because Hongli didn't weigh much now. A lot of the flesh on his body had been cut off, revealing the stern white bones. Through his ribs, one could even see his beating heart.
The skin and muscles still left on his body were already rotten, and countless maggots were happily drilling in and out of them. From a distance, one could smell a strong stench.
Hongli's lower body hadn't had much meat cut off, but it had been soaked in water for an unknown amount of time, turning pale white and swelling to the thickness of an ordinary person's waist.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago, but Hongli was, after all, a person who had used the evolution potion to become an ability user, and was still alive at this time.
"You used to be partners. Can you bear to watch him become like this?"
Seeing Hongli like this, Li Chenzhou's heart was filled with anger, and he turned to look at Jin Yuan and asked grimly.
Li Chenzhou's impression of Hongli wasn't actually very deep. After all, Duan Lei had chosen and trained him, but he had met and talked to him after all. It was impossible not to be touched in his heart to see him fall to this miserable state.
Especially since Li Chenzhou had already heard Jin Yuan say that Hongli had been made like this by Wang Zifeng because he refused to slander Li Chenzhou. If he had chosen to compromise, he would naturally be like Jin Yuan. Although he would become someone else's dog, at least he wouldn't have to experience such a miserable fate!
"He refused to surrender. I... I couldn't help it! Wang Zifeng has been in charge of this base ever since. I'm just a puppet. What I say doesn't count at all!"
Jin Yuan lowered his head and whispered to defend himself...
