Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 230 The Death of a Pig
Soon, everything was moved to the new vehicle, and the team members happily sat in the RV. Only Duan Lei and Li Chenzhou remained outside, watching the two armored vehicles about to be discarded.
"Still need that guy to lead the way?"
Duan Lei asked Li Chenzhou.
"Of course, let him drive one of the cars himself, and go in front!"
Li Chenzhou nodded. Actually, there was no need for Lao Chen to lead the way to find the rat swarm. There was only one road. Just follow the road, and seeing the truck and bus would confirm it. No matter how mutated the rats were, they wouldn't be interested in the vehicles themselves.
"Alright!"
Duan Lei didn't ask any more questions. He nodded, walked to the armored vehicle, opened the back door, and dragged out Lao Chen, who was blindfolded and wearing headphones with loud music playing. He removed his headphones and blindfold.
Lao Chen looked around and saw the spatial war chariot, but he didn't ask any questions, just looked at Duan Lei.
When Li Chenzhou was about to get out of the car earlier, he had already had Fatty blindfold him and leave him in the back to listen to music. This treatment, instead, made Lao Chen feel a glimmer of hope!
Obviously, the appearance of this vehicle was very strange. Lao Chen had traveled this road before, and he swore that there was absolutely no place around here that could hide this vehicle. Therefore, Li Chenzhou and the others must have some unknown secret.
If they had already decided to kill him, there would have been no need to blindfold him and make him listen to such loud music, because dead men tell no tales.
Since they did this, as long as he completed the tasks they gave him, maybe they wouldn't kill him. He didn't have any deep-seated hatred with them anyway!
"Pick any car you want, and drive it to lead the way!"
Duan Lei, unaware of the chaotic thoughts running through Lao Chen's mind, pointed directly at the two armored vehicles and said,
"These are armored vehicles. The windows are bulletproof and can only be penetrated by heavy sniper rifles. Mutated rats can't do anything to them, so as long as you don't get out of the car, you'll be safe. Once you find the rat swarm, you'll be free!"
"Yes! I understand!"
Lao Chen nodded immediately, then closed the back door of the armored vehicle next to him without hesitation and entered the driver's seat.
Duan Lei also turned back and got into the car with Li Chenzhou. Then, everyone entered the living room and sat around the sofa!
"Number One! Adjust the outside view to the front of the vehicle, and follow the car in front!"
Li Chenzhou also sat on the sofa and spoke. As he spoke, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in the living room:
"Understood! View adjusted, auto-navigation set, current mode: follow!"
"Holy crap! Artificial intelligence???"
Grey Bear jumped up immediately:
"Is it like the one in Iron Man? Can it make battle suits?"
"It's definitely intelligent, just don't know if it's 'artificial'!"
Li Chenzhou answered softly, then glanced at Grey Bear:
"Sit down. Do you think, with our future development, you'll still need Iron Man's battle suit?"
"This..."
Grey Bear was stunned, then sat down somewhat sheepishly.
That's right, with their development trend, their bodies might be even stronger than Iron Man's battle suit in the future! His excitement just now was because of a past dream.
After all, anyone who's seen The Avengers dreams of one day transforming like Iron Man! Their whole body instantly covered in armor, then soaring into the sky... it's indescribable!
"Alright! Everyone, we all know that our world has completely changed. Zombies, mutated beasts, and evolutionaries like us, which used to only appear in novels and movies, have all become reality!
And some changes have also occurred in me. The voice you heard earlier, as well as the evolution potions, combat suits, and all the other incredible things, including this spatial war chariot, I can't explain where they came from. Even I don't know how they were created or how they ended up in my hands!
However, everything I've obtained has been earned through killing. Every time we kill any life, I can get Slaughter Points, and with these Slaughter Points, I can exchange for amazing things that will greatly help us, such as evolution potions!
Honestly, I don't know if this is good or bad, because such an existence shouldn't be something humans are capable of. Therefore, our future is also full of uncertainty!"
"Since these things are helpful to us, then they're good for us, why is there uncertainty?"
Grey Bear's true nature came out again!
"I once saw a news story about a pig farmer who was hit by a flood. The pigs he raised were all flooded. Seeing that they were about to drown, he asked for help. As a result, firefighters were dispatched and helped him rescue most of the pigs."
Li Chenzhou didn't answer directly, but recalled:
"Later, facing the interview camera, the pig farmer cried with emotion. He said that thanks to the firefighters, his pigs weren't all drowned, which was basically saving his life!
This pig farmer really wanted to do his best to save those pigs, but he saved them from drowning so that they could live carefree lives forever, enjoy their pig lives, and then die of old age?
No! He wanted to send these pigs to the slaughterhouse, kill them, and sell their meat, so that he could get money! Humans protecting pigs and protecting their children, the actions may be the same, but the meaning is completely different. And for the pigs, what's the difference between being drowned and being sent to the slaughterhouse to be killed?"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Duan Lei looked at the armored vehicle driving in front, then looked at Li Chenzhou and asked.
He didn't quite understand why Li Chenzhou would suddenly talk about this?
He originally thought that Li Chenzhou would casually explain about the spatial war chariot, since no one else would really get to the bottom of it.
"I'm saying this because now that I've obtained this vehicle, everyone can choose a bedroom around here and become an official member of this vehicle. From now on, there will always be a place for him here, and we will be a true team!"
Li Chenzhou said:
"Therefore, there are some things that I must tell everyone in advance, which is the saying: get the ugly words out first. I will tell everyone some of the things I've thought of, and then everyone can decide for themselves whether or not to stay, because, following me, you will become stronger, but the enemies you face may be beyond your imagination!!!"
