Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 555 Who is the Protagonist?
However, because Sun Qiang was a lone wolf, after finding Sun Qiang, Lin Qiang's men took him back to Qing City Base to meet Lin Qiang.
Therefore, when he heard Sun Qiang actively requesting to contact Zhao Dahai, Lin Qiang directly smiled and shook his head in refusal!
"Brother! Don't rush. Zhao Dahai is a capable person. Although before the apocalypse, he was just an air conditioner installer and repairman, he was able to establish a base in such a short period, and he also has many loyal followers around him. This fully proves that he is a capable person!"
Lin Qiang looked at Sun Qiang and smiled:
"So, I have to prove my strength first, so he will come to see me! Understand?"
Sun Qiang looked confused, and Lin Qiang obviously didn't expect this guy, who was just a small security guard before, to understand this reasoning!
He wanted to subdue Sun Qiang and Zhao Dahai. Sun Qiang was a lone wolf and had been a nobody before, so he was relatively easy to deal with.
But although Zhao Dahai was also a nobody before, he had both ambition and ability. It would be somewhat difficult to completely subdue such a person, so Lin Qiang planned to lead a team to Qi City!
There was nothing major going on in Qing City right now. The survivors in the city had basically been cleared out, either incorporated into their ranks or eliminated. Anyway, if they didn't join, they would be killed, so they couldn't be allowed to go to the Prison or Wu Village Base to strengthen Li Chenzhou's faction!
And although Zhang Hu was here, he had been fighting against the creatures in the stadium in the city. Lin Qiang didn't want to participate in this, because there would definitely be losses. He just kept an eye on it. Once the battle between the two sides was about to end, that would be the time for them to enter the arena.
As the saying goes, the fisherman always waits until the snipe and clam are locked in mortal combat before appearing!
What Lin Qiang needed to do now was to go to Qi City, establish a base there with his men, and expand rapidly. Only when he was strong enough to annex Zhao Dahai's base would he meet with him.
For Lin Qiang, expanding the base was very simple, it was nothing more than plundering people. Anyway, if they didn't join, they would be killed, and most people knew what choice to make.
Unwillingness to submit to death, loyalty - these qualities had long disappeared in the apocalypse. His current base was built in this way. In just over a month, it had gathered nearly a million people!
So, after settling the base in Qing City, Lin Qiang led almost all of the combat personnel, forming a mighty convoy, and headed for Qi City.
He didn't leave many combat personnel here, because of Li Chenzhou and the others, there weren't many zombies in Qing City anymore. Only the central area of the city was still fraught with danger, but Zhang Hu was constantly attacking it, so the base wouldn't be attacked by any large-scale zombie hordes.
And the surrounding bases, such as the Prison Base, the Armory Base, Luo Hong and Ding Ning, they weren't the kind of people who liked to cause trouble, so it was unlikely that they would attack Lin Qiang's base, so he was very relieved.
Bringing his men here, it just so happened that the people from the military camp had all moved to the Manor. So, after receiving the news, Lin Qiang directly took this place as his base. The infrastructure here was complete. The only thing lacking was water and places to cultivate.
But these were not things that Lin Qiang needed to consider. He didn't plan to stay here for a long time. His ultimate goal was the Manor Base. He wanted to develop rapidly, annex, and then take down the Manor Base before Li Chenzhou and the others returned, turning it into his own base!
After arriving in Qi City, Lin Qiang personally went to the Manor Base to take a look. He was very satisfied with it, and even felt that if he could take the Manor Base, he could completely transfer all the people from Qing City over. At that time, this place would be his kingdom.
So, Lin Qiang used the military camp as a foundation and began to attack in all directions, sweeping away the surrounding small bases with a large force, and his power rapidly expanded.
During this period, Lin Qiang also found an armory, and moved all the weapons inside, and his strength was qualitatively improved.
So, he finally sent Sun Qiang to contact Zhao Dahai and ask him to come over.
Who was Zhao Dahai? Of course, he wouldn't go easily. And when Lin Qiang sent Sun Qiang to invite him, he actually knew that this would be the result, and he didn't care. Anyway, his meaning was that I valued you very much, so I asked someone to invite you first. This was called courtesy before force.
Afterwards, when Sun Qiang came back and said that Zhao Dahai wouldn't come, but instead invited Lin Qiang to go over, Lin Qiang laughed. He knew that the other party would say that, and he was waiting for it.
Lin Qiang gave an order, and the combat team that had been prepared for a long time immediately set off, a mighty convoy of more than a hundred vehicles, each equipped with machine guns and other heavy weapons!
Having already investigated the situation on Zhao Dahai's side, Lin Qiang had made sufficient preparations. Zhao Dahai's base actually had a lot of people, and after all, Zhao Dahai was just a repairman before, at most bullying men and women, and occasionally killing people for profit, but in the apocalypse, this could be considered acceptable.
Therefore, the people in Zhao Dahai's base were still living a decent life, at least they could eat their fill and didn't have to worry about starving to death. Although they would be bullied by Zhao Dahai's faction, they could at least survive, right?
Because of this, the number of survivors in Zhao Dahai's base reached nearly 20,000. It sounded like not many, but in the apocalypse, such a base could already be considered a large base.
And this time to Zhao Dahai's base, Lin Qiang brought a full 10,000 combat personnel! And all of them were fully armed. After all, Zhao Dahai and the others were a civilian organization. They did have some guns, but they were just some light weapons obtained from the police station, and there weren't many of them. They couldn't compare with Zhao Dahai's people at all!
Arriving at Zhao Dahai's base, when he saw the scale of Zhao Dahai's team and the equipped weapons, Zhao Dahai was immediately dumbfounded!
All along, he had felt that he was the chosen one, the protagonist, but first he encountered a Li Chenzhou, and then this Zhao Dahai. How come these two guys seemed to be stronger than him?
Shouldn't the protagonist... be the strongest?
Looking at Zhao Dahai's mighty convoy, and then looking back at his own base, looking at the machine guns and mortars mounted on the front of the vehicles, as well as the snipers lying on the carriages, holding huge sniper rifles, and then looking at the small pistol in his hand, he felt a little bit tearful, and cursed in his heart:
"Damn it, who the hell... is the protagonist?"
