Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 243 The Different Goals of Running and Soaking
Duan Lei was shocked!
"Of course!"
Zhang Hu said:
"Any creature, once it forms a group, will inevitably give birth to a leader, that's for sure! Moreover, compared to zombies, mutated beasts are actually more terrifying! Because zombies are a very special life form. Even if they don't eat or drink, and are locked in a safe, they will still be alive if you open it after a few years.
But mutated beasts are different. They still need to eat and drink like us. So, zombies might stay in the city and not come out, as Broken Ship said, but mutated beasts… they need to hunt every day, because if they don't hunt, they will starve to death!"
"So… there's this reason too!"
Duan Lei nodded. Li Chenzhou had told him before that mutated beasts were more terrifying, but he hadn't explained the reason in detail. Now he finally understood.
Fortunately, Li Chenzhou had also said that mutated beasts rarely actively invade human bases. They prefer to go into the city to hunt zombies than to hunt humans.
"Then how many rats are left in this rat swarm now?"
Duan Lei asked again, because Zhang Hu had just said that the rat swarm was divided into several waves, and the bases they had previously supported were all nearby!
"That's impossible to judge!"
Zhang Hu immediately shook his head:
"Before forming a scale, mutated beasts may still kill each other, but this kind of rat swarm that has given birth to a Rat King will not have this kind of thing happen.
They will kill all non-similar life forms along the way, and then absorb all similar life forms. Therefore, the longer the time, the larger their team will become! That's how my mutated cat swarm grew up!"
"Huh? That's right, we've cleaned up a lot of city areas, why haven't we seen many mutated beasts? We haven't even seen many cats and dogs!"
Hearing Zhang Hu's words, Duan Lei suddenly remembered something he had always found strange.
It was said that there were quite a few people in the city who kept pets, and almost every street had pet shops, but they rarely encountered mutated beasts when clearing zombies! If they occasionally saw one, it would immediately slip away, and they couldn't catch up at all.
Those three crocodiles were probably the most mutated beasts they had encountered at one time before they encountered the mutated rat swarm!
"The process of mutated beasts mutating is relatively slow, and they are still afraid of humans when they have just mutated, so they usually hide!"
Zhang Hu explained:
"Unless I'm like this, sweeping the streets with a large group of cats, those feline creatures will take the initiative to show up and join us! That's why I have so many cats around me!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Duan Lei secretly rejoiced that if it weren't for these factors restricting the mutated beasts, the human survivors would probably die even more!
"No! Where did this house come from? Why is there such a big house in a car?"
Zhang Hu looked at the doors around the living room and asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. You can only ask Boss, because he made it all!"
Duan Lei replied.
"When will this guy wake up?"
Zhang Hu asked.
"I don't know!"
Duan Lei shook his head:
"Boss hasn't encountered this kind of situation before, so there's no reference!"
"Sigh! That… huh?"
Zhang Hu shook his head, and was about to speak, but suddenly looked out the window, with a look of surprise on his face.
Duan Lei and the others were shocked, thinking that something had happened, and quickly looked outside, only to find that it was just that Big Orange had stood up, looking restless and looking at them, and was opening its mouth and shouting something at them, but because the space was different, they couldn't hear the sound at all.
"Big Orange is calling me!"
Zhang Hu frowned:
"But we have a mental link, and it usually uses the mental link to summon me directly, but why can't I feel it now?"
"The space is different, and mental power can't penetrate!"
Duan Lei understood and explained:
"According to No. 1, the internal space of this car is not integrated with the space of our world, so neither sound nor mental links can travel through space to reach here.
Even the images we see now are transmitted back by this car in a special way. Your Big Orange can't see us, and it can't see this window!"
"That's really amazing! It makes me want to get one too!"
Zhang Hu's eyes lit up!
"Then you have to find Boss, and we carried out a lot of crazy killings for this car, and it took a lot of effort to accumulate enough. According to Boss, you also have a share in this!"
Duan Lei said:
"We are all Boss's followers, so when we kill life, he will get kill points. Evolution potions and the like are exchanged with these kill points! Including this car!"
"Just kill? Haha! That's easy!"
Zhang Hu laughed loudly when he heard this:
"Now in this world, the last thing lacking is killing. If you don't kill others, others will kill you!"
Hearing Zhang Hu's words, Duan Lei couldn't help but be stunned. The previous Zhang Hu… wasn't like this. He still remembered that when he was first in his shop, someone rushed over, and Zhang Hu subconsciously went to open the door to let him in.
It seems that this world changes people really quickly.
Of course, what Duan Lei didn't know was that in the beginning, Li Chenzhou had already taught Zhang Hu a lot, and had even let him witness it with his own eyes. With this kind of experience, it would probably be impossible for him not to change!
"Hey? Brother Hu, do you mean… you're not staying with us?"
Suddenly, Duan Lei thought of the meaning in Zhang Hu's words, so he asked.
"Of course not!"
Zhang Hu said with a wry smile:
"I want to, how comfortable is it here! I'm with a bunch of cats all day long, and it's awkward as hell. There's no one to talk to!
But the problem is, if I stay here, they will follow me too. If that's the case, it will be difficult for you to save people again, and it won't be enough for them to eat!"
"Uh…"
Duan Lei looked at the large group of cats outside, and was speechless.
"No, you know cat language, can't you chat with cats if you want to chat?"
Grey Bear had been on the side, and when he heard Zhang Hu's words, he had a flash of inspiration, so he asked.
"Chat with cats? What do I chat with them about? Which cat's fur is beautiful? Or which part of the human body tastes the best? These guys only ever have one position for mating, you want me to chat with them?"
Zhang Hu said unhappily:
"Chatting isn't just about talking, you have to have common topics! You know? Don't mention cats, if you find an old man to chat with him, do you think you can chat? If it was changed to a young lady, your choice would probably be different, right?"
"There's nothing different!"
Fatty said lewdly from the side:
"If you let me chat with an old man, I'll just run away. If you let me chat with a young lady, I'll just hit on her!!!"
