Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 293 The Corpse Demon's Plan

“Yes! It should be him!”

Li Yunshan nodded and said,

“Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, he was indeed missing for a few days before, and his sniping skills are quite accurate!”

“But… does Leopard have the ability to turn people who have been headshot into zombies? Also, how did he turn Qing Lang into an evolver?”

Li Chenzhou suddenly thought of the strange things he encountered in prison and asked.

“That’s the ability of the Corpse Demon!”

Li Yunshan said,

“The Corpse Demon has a strange ability. He can condense mutated crystal nuclei from the corpses of zombies. Then, using these mutated crystal nuclei, he can create enhanced zombies. As for Qing Lang that you mentioned… I haven’t seen the Corpse Demon enhance humans with crystal nuclei, so I’m not sure.”

“Crystal nuclei?”

Li Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, then understood. Qing Lang must have also become an evolver by using crystal nuclei. This explained why there was a mutated crystal nucleus in Qing Lang’s head.

“Condensing crystal nuclei from the corpses of zombies, and then using mutated crystal nuclei to enhance zombies, so…”

Li Chenzhou subconsciously looked out the window, because the Dark Blood War Chariot’s perspective switched, so what he saw out of the window was the scene outside the chariot.

“Does he need complete corpses, or will any kind of corpse do?”

Looking at the zombie corpses scattered on the ground, Li Chenzhou asked.

Because most of the ordinary zombies were killed by the vehicle-mounted machine guns, it was rare to see complete corpses among the bodies on the ground. After all, the bullets were three centimeters in diameter, and no matter where they hit the body, they could turn it into a pile of fragments.

“Remnants will do!”

Li Yunshan, of course, understood what Li Chenzhou meant, so he pointed to the corpses outside the window and replied,

“So, I suggest you burn all these corpses as much as possible. That way, you might be able to stop that guy from creating more enhanced zombies.”

“What level are the enhanced zombies he creates?”

Li Chenzhou asked again.

The enhanced zombies they had killed before were all level one. Not a single level two zombie. If they were all level one zombies, Li Chenzhou would really have to consider whether to simply leave the corpses to that guy, because the kill points for enhanced zombies were much higher than ordinary ones. Moreover, they could also obtain mutated crystal nuclei, which were worth one hundred kill points themselves.

“Most are level one, but there are also dozens of level two!”

Li Yunshan replied.

“He can use crystal nuclei to create level two enhanced zombies?”

Li Chenzhou frowned.

“Yes!”

Li Yunshan answered with certainty,

“I saw it with my own eyes. However, it seems that the number of level two enhanced zombies he can create is limited, and when he creates those enhanced zombies, his temper is usually not very good. He often smashes things and curses loudly. I vaguely heard… something about not upgrading or something.”

“Not upgrading?”

Li Chenzhou was confused. Could it be that when this guy creates enhanced zombies, the level isn’t fixed, but can also be upgraded?

“Yes! Moreover, I feel that this siege against you is also related to him creating enhanced zombies!”

Li Yuntian said,

“Of course, I have no evidence for this, it’s just a feeling. Anyway, he definitely knows you, and… you seem to be very important to him!”

“Important? Important enough to kill me?”

Li Chenzhou smiled wryly. Li Yuntian also shook his head lightly, unable to figure out why.

“What does that Corpse Demon look like?”

Li Chenzhou asked the initial question again.

“He’s also in human form, but he’s taller, about one meter nine to two meters!”

Li Yuntian replied,

“His hair is very long, loose, and all white. In addition, the Corpse Demon’s skin is also pale white, the teeth are very sharp, and the eyes are terrifying. The whites of his eyes are the color of salted duck egg whites, and the pupils are like a cat’s, dark gold.

Their hands also have five fingers, the fingernails are very sharp, and there is a vertical slit in the palm, inside which there seems to be something like tentacles. Other than that… he has all the facial features, it’s just that his appearance is slightly mutated!

In addition, from the moment I saw him, he was always wearing the same set of clothes, a dark blue windbreaker, inside which was a milky white… something that looked like armor. His weapon is a handgun, which fires some kind of light, but I’m not sure about its power!”

Hearing Li Yunshan’s description, Li Chenzhou couldn’t quite imagine what the Corpse Demon looked like. And thinking back, he didn’t know if this so-called Corpse Demon was a Devourer, because Li Yingning didn’t tell him what a Devourer looked like.

It seems that he can only find a way to deal with this guy first, and see if he can get more information from him. Moreover, according to Li Yingning’s statement, wouldn’t the Devourers only arrive here in five years?

“Was this attack on us a temporary decision, or was it planned in advance?”

Li Chenzhou asked again.

“It was planned in advance, he was just waiting for you to come in!”

Li Yunshan said,

“He arranged for many enhanced zombies to watch you. As soon as you arrived, he would get the information. Originally, he wanted to arrange for you to encounter a wave of humans, but you changed direction, so he wanted to lure you to his location, but you didn’t fall for it.

So, in the end, he adopted the method of moving the zombie horde, wanting to completely surround you, and he succeeded. Originally, even I thought that once those enhanced zombies attacked, you wouldn’t be able to get out, but I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, able to instantly kill hundreds of enhanced zombies.

Then, when you bombarded the building where he was hiding, he immediately decided to retreat. I also slipped away during the retreat and came to find you!”

“In other words, he didn’t plan to kill me directly at first?”

Li Chenzhou thought for a moment and asked.

“I can’t say for sure!”

Li Yunshan shook his head and said,

“The leader of the group of people he was going to arrange for you to ‘coincidentally’ meet was originally someone Leopard intended to use to scheme against you. He helped that guy save a lot of survivors, and originally planned to have him establish a base outside the city with those survivors, and then get close to you, taking the opportunity to design a trap for you.

Later, when Leopard became the Corpse Demon’s subordinate, he gave those people to the Corpse Demon, but the Corpse Demon didn’t kill them. Instead, he took them into his research base.

Now, that guy and several of his subordinates have also become enhancers. However, I don’t know how they will treat you, because I don’t dare to communicate with them, it will expose myself!”

“And… the Corpse Demon’s initial plan was for me to ‘accidentally’ encounter those people?”

Li Chenzhou looked at Li Yunshan and asked with some confusion…
