Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 209 Sacrifice or Change?

"Ah! You're using a borrowed knife to kill; you'll die a horrible death!!!"

"Open the door and let me out! I don't want to live in prison!"

"I was wrong, I apologize, please let me out! I beg you!"

The survivors were shocked and began to rush frantically towards the prison cell doors, pounding on them desperately, shouting wildly, and even begging for mercy.

In fact, the survivors had felt uneasy when they first heard Fatty's words, and some had even started yelling at that time, but Fatty had simply ignored them.

But now, seeing all the prison cell doors open, the survivors who had been clamoring so desperately instantly wilted. When there were bars between them, they definitely dared to stand up to him, but who told him to let the prisoners out? Who could stand that?

And the prisoners inside the cells, seeing that none of the survivors dared to stand up and that they were all crowding at the gate, with those outside even desperately trying to squeeze in as if they would be safe if they were in the innermost part, slowed their pace. They grinned as they surrounded them.

"Ah~~!"

The approach of the prisoners caused screams to erupt from the survivors, and those at the front pounded even more frantically, but it was all in vain. The prisoners finally reached the survivors. One of them grabbed a girl who was squeezed to the outside by the hair, pulled her out, and tore at her clothes with a wild laugh!

This person's action was like opening Pandora's Box. All the prisoners rushed forward, fighting over the women inside amidst the screams of the survivors. They didn't even spare the children, and even some young boys became their targets...

Looking at the chaotic prison cells, Fatty actually smiled. Then he put his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair, and watched with relish!

As for the others, after sending the survivors into the prison cells and seeing the doors closed, they all left. The doors absolutely could not be opened from the inside, not even by the prison guards themselves; they could only be opened from the monitoring room.

The doors of the prison cells were the same, so there was no need to worry about it here. Moreover, Li Chenzhou had already said that this was to be handled by Fatty, and the others all had their own tasks!

Compared to the prison cells, the entire prison was now quite lively. The busy survivors were working hard to build their homes. Although they had waited a long time and were quite tired, they all knew what the high walls of the prison meant.

Therefore, no one was willing to leave. They all regarded this place as their future home and were therefore full of energy!

The bodies of the prisoners buried by Ding Ning behind the building had all been dug up. There was enough space here for building, so the courtyard could be used for planting. With the new walls designed by Li Chenzhou, perhaps the survivors at the prison base would not need to go outside at all and could be self-sufficient!

Of course, this would definitely be safe, but the cost would be that the humans at the base would never grow. When enhanced zombies appeared, perhaps a single agile zombie could completely destroy the base and kill everyone inside.

Li Chenzhou still did not participate in any work. He pulled Ding Ning aside to the armory. Only the warden's key could open this armory, which meant that only Ding Ning could open it now.

Previously, Duan Lei had already cultivated some capable people among the survivors and had them begin to lead their respective teams, because no one had anticipated Ding Ning's arrival.

But now, Li Chenzhou intended to let Ding Ning be the leader of this prison, to control this base. Therefore, those who had been cultivated previously could only serve as his assistants.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou had to give Ding Ning an evolutionary serum. After all, he hadn't come all the way with them, and if he were made the leader directly, those who had been cultivated previously would probably unite to completely undermine him.

Li Chenzhou would not let such a thing happen. Therefore, in addition to the evolutionary serum, he also had some corresponding preparations, but those would have to wait until tomorrow to be used. Now, the most important thing was to let Ding Ning become a powered individual first. Whether he was an evolver or an awakener, as long as he was a powered individual, he would have the capital to suppress others.

However, before doing all this, Li Chenzhou had to try to see if he could truly change Ding Ning. Otherwise, with his current personality, he would be completely unable to support this base. Forcing him to the top would only end up killing him!

"Ding Ning! You can freely distribute the weapons in this armory. No one is allowed to enter now!"

Entering the armory, Li Chenzhou looked at the weapons inside. This armory was small and could not be compared to the war reserve depot, but as a base, it should be enough for self-use. At least, the prison here would not need to go to Luo Hong to exchange for weapons.

However, Li Chenzhou did not care much about this. He said those words only to make Ding Ning relax a little.

"Okay!"

Ding Ning also guessed that Li Chenzhou had something to say to him, so he nodded and looked at Li Chenzhou.

"This... is called an evolutionary serum. After injecting this, humans will become stronger, just like those superheroes in the movies!"

Li Chenzhou didn't waste any words. He directly took out an evolutionary serum and held it in front of Ding Ning, saying. Then, he casually placed the evolutionary serum on a box to the side, then pulled over a metal ammunition box. With a gentle pull, he forcefully opened the box. After pouring out the ammunition inside, he used his hands to gradually crumple the metal ammunition box into a ball as if he were crumpling a piece of paper.

Ding Ning's eyes widened. This armory belonged to the prison, so he naturally knew the material of the boxes. Moreover, only he had the key. It was impossible for Li Chenzhou to have secretly brought in a fake one beforehand, and he had no need to deceive him.

Therefore, Ding Ning's gaze involuntarily turned to the evolutionary serum placed to the side, within his reach. He even couldn't help but swallow.

However, although Li Chenzhou stood quietly to the side, without any movement, Ding Ning did not reach out to take the serum, even though he very much wanted to.

Ding Ning knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. If the other party was willing to give him such a good serum, it was definitely with some purpose in mind. Therefore, he forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart and looked at Li Chenzhou:

"What do I need to give in return?"

"What you need isn't to give in return, but to change!"

Seeing that Ding Ning did not take the serum, but instead asked what he had to give in return, Li Chenzhou nodded with satisfaction and said to Ding Ning with a smile...
