The vehicles at the front drove smoothly, gradually disappearing into the distance at the end of the road.
However, as more and more vehicles gathered, the roar of the engines finally drew the infected crowd, who had been attracted by the plane, back to their homes.
Some infected individuals who were further away abandoned the tracking planes and began to return, rushing towards the convoy in large numbers.
Seeing the densely packed infected people breaking away and returning, the motorcyclist took out several remote-controlled airplanes.
Under the control of the new remote-controlled aircraft, most of the infected returned to their original direction, but some unrepentant infected still stubbornly attacked the convoy.
With no other option, and calculating that the convoy behind them might not be able to pass in time, a number of mercenaries suddenly jumped out of the vehicles. They were there to serve their employers and help them escape safely.
However, due to the return of infected individuals, the speed of traffic on the main roads has increased significantly.
High speeds can easily lead to accidents, and due to a lack of coordination, a tragic collision between the vehicles in front and behind occurred.
Moreover, the driver of the car in front was so dizzy from the impact that, after a flurry of activity, the car in front unfortunately broke down and stalled.
The vehicles stuck in the traffic jam stalled, and some people reacted quickly and carefully drove away from the road next to them. However, because of this congestion, the original two-way road became a one-way road, and the speed slowed down.
The driver of the car blocking the road frantically fiddled with his vehicle, as if things weren't complicated enough. The car that preceded Liu Nian's team also broke down and got stuck on the side of the road when it passed the accident site.
After passing through the one-way street, there weren't many vehicles left.
But unfortunately, it happened right in front of the Everlasting Regret Mercenary Group.
The entire road is now paralyzed. With the infected group getting closer and closer, the convoy guards, having no other choice, have begun to disembark and fight the infected.
Although many infected people were separated, quite a few still surrounded them.
The guards in the following vehicle lined both sides of the lane, nervously gripping their weapons, praying that their teammates could clear the road quickly.
The extra people quickly ran to the vehicles blocking the road and were about to push them away.
However, the merchants were reluctant to part with the goods on the cart and got into a scuffle with the people who came forward.
As the infected drew closer, and the merchants blocking the road continued their incessant chatter, the guards finally lost their patience and killed the two merchants outright.
The two businessmen collapsed, clutching their necks in disbelief. Their blood stained the ground beneath the car, which also excited the infected, who, attracted by the smell of blood, rushed toward them.
Finally, before they could swarm over, everyone worked together to push a car aside, leaving a one-way street.
The group leader was behind this car. Seeing that the road was clear, he quickly stepped on the gas and drove away from the infected's encirclement. Two merchant vehicles followed closely behind. As long as they could break through the infected's blockade ahead, they could escape alive.
He Zeyu, who was driving, gritted his teeth and followed closely behind the businessmen's car.
After ramming through the infected people blocking their way, the four vehicles successfully broke through one after another.
It quickly ran over the infected person's body, causing Liu Nian to fall freely up and down against her will.
However, the vehicles behind were not so lucky. Not only were they surrounded by infected people, but to make matters worse, the car in front of them had its tires stuck by an infected person's body, causing it to stall completely.
The vehicles behind did not expect this malfunction. They were too close and it was too late to brake, so they crashed directly into the car in front.
The vehicles behind collided in a chain reaction, completely blocking the already narrow road.
The players had no choice but to get out of the vehicle and flee. They were surrounded by infected people, and those who were blocked had no choice but to form a formation to fight against the infected.
Only a few people managed to escape by stepping over the vehicles and jumping to the other side of the road.
Just as He Zeyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, a huge rock was thrown out from the side.
The incident happened suddenly, leaving no time to react. Liu Nian's vehicle was hit squarely by the boulder.
The boulder smashed the driver's door, denting it, and shattered the windshield into pieces.
Liu Nian hurriedly looked into the driver's seat. He Zeyu had been smashed and deformed. He was seriously injured and in critical condition, and it seemed that he would not survive.
Priest Tang Tongbi quickly cast a healing spell to prevent his health from dropping further; the rest of the injuries could be addressed after he was moved to a safe place.
Because the boulder was completely embedded in the driver's cab, Tang Tongbi and Ye Muli hurriedly dragged He Zeyu out of the passenger seat.
The car was completely totaled, and of the four people, only Liu Nian was still capable of fighting, so he was in charge of guarding.
The merchants in front, whether they saw the people's tragic state or not, drove off at breakneck speed.
The four of them could only jog forward. He Zeyu had already fallen into a coma, and Tang Tongbi and Ye Muli could only support him on one side as they walked.
The infected around them were drawn to the convoy behind them, and the infected on this side appeared scattered. However, there was an infected who could throw heavy objects, so Liu Nian dared not let his guard down.
He gestured for the three of them to leave first, with Liu Nian following behind as bait.
Otherwise, with their speed, they would be too conspicuous and being hit by the boulder would be a certainty.
After telling them their thoughts, the two knew this wasn't the time to be sentimental. They told Liu Nian to be careful and then ran forward with He Zeyu.
Sure enough, with Liu Nian staying behind, another huge rock was thrown into the alley on the left side of the village.
With good speed and accuracy, Liu Nian moved aside to avoid the boulder and ran in the direction it had been thrown.
As he walked into the alley, just as he expected, there was a special infected person on the other side.
【tank】(Level 28 Special Infected)
Attack power: 50-80
Defense: 30-45
Health Points:
Skills: Charge and throwing attacks.
Its upper body is exaggerated like that of a bodybuilder, with its arms and chest muscles bulging exaggeratedly high, several times larger than normal, but its lower body is of normal human size, which makes it look somewhat disproportionate overall.
But this did not stop it from launching a charge attack. After missing its first shot, it began to accelerate from a distance, intending to charge towards Liu Nian.
With no more worries, Liu Nian felt relieved.
Ignoring the threat of the tank's charge, he waved his hand and a dark space appeared before him, releasing a heavily armored cavalryman in full black armor.
Since you like charging in, then come on over here?
After emerging from the void, the Dread Knight began its charge towards the tank.
Before they collided, Liu Nian thoughtfully applied a series of debuffs to the tank.
The Dread Knight and the Tank collided, and the Tank was knocked back several steps before collapsing to the ground.
The Dread Knight pressed his advantage, urging his Nightmare Horse to chase after the Tank for several steps before stomping on him with his saber.
The tank, corroded by the defense reduction effect, was as brittle as paper, and the sword easily pierced its body.
After striking successfully, the Dread Knight rode away, waiting to turn his horse around and launch another attack.
On the other hand, the tank howled in pain, his fists, as big as sandbags, pounding the surrounding area, leaving it riddled with craters.
At this moment, the Abomination was also summoned from the void, and more and more infected gathered around. Liu Nian was determined to finish the battle quickly.
Two of the strongest fighters are on the field at the same time. This is something no tank can withstand.
Then, the Abomination seized the opportunity and suddenly pulled the tank to its side, using the Dismember skill to bite the tank tightly, rendering it unable to move.
The Dread Knights began to converge on this side again. With the boost from their charge, their speed increased, and the saber in their hands gleamed with an unusual color in the setting sun.
