Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 176 Different Reactions
Looking at the thugs being dragged away, Li Chenzhou walked over again and kicked Hei Ge in the broken leg. Hei Ge immediately opened his eyes, staring at Li Chenzhou with resentment:
"You bastard! Did we have a feud before? How could you treat us like this?"
Because he had been pretending to be unconscious, Hei Ge had avoided the women's revenge, but at the same time, he understood that Li Chenzhou would definitely not let him go. He hadn't let any of his men go, let alone him.
So, after being discovered pretending to be unconscious, he didn't beg for mercy. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well be tough!
But then, Hei Ge became even more angry, because Li Chenzhou completely ignored him and waved to a combat team member, asking him to drag Hei Ge away.
"Hahahaha! Kid, you won't live much longer either. I'll be waiting for you down there! What if you kill me? Twenty years from now, I'll be a good man again!"
Hei Ge laughed madly with a look of despair...
"I told you a long time ago that I'm only responsible for rescuing you. We won't interfere in what happens after that!"
Li Chenzhou still ignored Hei Ge. Instead, he called Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang, and led them into the small building, saying to them:
"This is also why Xiaolei and I have been trying to get you to organize people along the way. Wu Village can be used as a base. As for the mine over there, you don't need to worry about it. There was a strengthened zombie that summoned all the creatures in the surrounding area, but I've already taken care of it!
So, even that mountain is currently relatively safe, of course, only temporarily. Mutant beasts will definitely enter that mountain in the future. If you want to collect resources, then go during this time. If you discover a mutant beast, then stay away from the mountain!"
"Are you saying that this base... you won't participate in the management in the future?"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang were both a little incredulous. Including the people from the shantytown, they should already have seven or eight hundred, or even close to a thousand people.
And with the strength that Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei had shown before, it would be easy to control these people. Although they hadn't experienced the apocalypse, in any world, being able to lead a thousand people was definitely a good thing. How could anyone refuse?
"Of course! We won't participate in the management. Even if we come here in the future, it will only be as guests. At that time, whatever this place is like, we won't say much. However, the order of the base is related to what kind of attitude we will have towards you!"
Li Chenzhou replied, then pointed to the location of the Luo Hong base:
"You don't need to doubt it. In that direction, there is also a base. I think you should have noticed it when we came back. The leader of that base is called Luo Hong. We were the ones who saved him in the beginning!"
Although Luo Hong's convoy was not personally led out by Li Chenzhou and his group, at least the shopping mall where Luo Hong was located was cleared out by Li Chenzhou. Moreover, the Lin Qiang convoy and the weapons in the war reserve depot were also related to Li Chenzhou, so saying that they saved them was not an exaggeration.
In particular, Luo Hong had more than once wanted to hand over that base to Li Chenzhou, so even if he said that the base was his, it wouldn't be considered a lie.
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang exchanged a look, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes. The apocalypse had only just begun, and he had already brought out two teams and established two bases?
"Luo Hong's base has a lot of weapons. You can use some of what they don't have or are lacking to exchange with them, such as food... water and the like! Exchange what you have for what you don't!"
Li Chenzhou didn't pay attention to the shock of the two and continued:
"In addition, I will also appear as a merchant in the future. At that time, if you need anything, you can also exchange it with me!"
"Exchange? With what?"
Wang Yuanqiang immediately asked. In his opinion, the things they had brought out now should all be scarce resources in the apocalypse. And if Li Chenzhou wanted them, he could even take them all. So... what could he use to exchange when he came again in the future?
"Jinghe! Mutant Jinghe!"
Li Chenzhou said.
Li Chenzhou had not yet explained the classification of zombies and the existence of mutant Jinghe to these two people in detail, so, taking this opportunity, Li Chenzhou told them some of the information that could be told!
"Humans can really become very strong in the future?"
Wang Yuanqiang said with some excitement.
"That's right! In fact, you should already have some guesses in your hearts. I think most people saw the commotion Xiaoxue made at the market!"
Li Chenzhou nodded and said:
"She is an Awakened, a strength-type Awakened. Her ability is to make her body bigger, and the effect is similar to the Hulk!"
Saying that, Li Chenzhou stood up and looked out the window and said:
"And strengthening is precisely the way out for us humans. Otherwise, you've all seen the zombies. If humans can't become stronger, do you think we have any hope of destroying the zombies? What's more, in addition to zombies, there are even more powerful mutant beasts!
In the future, what we humans have to do is to collect supplies, kill zombies to make ourselves stronger, and then kill even stronger zombies to keep making ourselves stronger, and keep cycling like this—just like a game!"
Li Chenzhou's words caused Wang Yuanqiang and Kong Xiang to fall into silence at the same time. After more than ten seconds, Kong Xiang asked sadly:
"Does this game... have an end?"
"Yes! There are two endings, one is relatively simple, and the other... may be quite difficult!"
Li Chenzhou turned to look at Kong Xiang and answered softly.
"I understand!"
Kong Xiang nodded lightly, then also looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
"We are now saving people and helping you build a base. In fact, what we want is for humans to have more survivors. Only when there are more humans will there be more strong people among us, and we will last longer in this game!"
Li Chenzhou looked at Wang Yuanqiang and continued:
"So, I still have something here that can help you quickly stabilize the base in the early stages of its establishment. Only by stabilizing the base can you develop faster, save more humans, and collect more resources!"
Saying that, Li Chenzhou opened his palm and showed the evolution potion he had already redeemed in front of Wang Yuanqiang.
"This is... what?"
When Wang Yuanqiang saw the evolution potion, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He seemed to have some guesses, so he looked up at Li Chenzhou and asked. To Li Chenzhou's surprise, Kong Xiang didn't even turn his head and was still staring blankly out the window...
