Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 287 A Warning from the Shadow Demon
"Xiao Lei! Can you guess what that guy is waiting for?"
Li Chenzhou couldn't figure it out himself, so he simply asked Duan Lei.
"He should be on his way here. As for his purpose... either he wants to witness our deaths, or... it's because of you, Boss. Maybe you have something he wants!"
Duan Lei answered softly.
Hearing Duan Lei's words, Li Chenzhou's heart trembled. What did he have? The Slaughter System. Could it be... that this guy knows about the existence of the Slaughter System and intends to seize it?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Chenzhou frowned. His situation didn't seem so optimistic. He had already guessed that the system might have been created by some being and given to him for some reason.
Then... is it possible that this mastermind also knows about the existence of the Slaughter System and even knows how to plunder it? Is that why he's willing to expend so many zombies to trap him here?
If that's the case, then he really doesn't have much of an advantage, because almost all of his strength comes from the system, including his greatest reliance now: the vehicle-mounted machine gun.
If the opponent knows about the system, then he must also be familiar with the goods produced by the system. In this way, the other party understands him, but he doesn't even know what the other party is...
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Li Chenzhou only knows himself, not the enemy, which is a bit of a pain.
"Come on! No matter who you are, whatever you want, I'll have to meet you first!"
Li Chenzhou murmured, looking into the depths of the zombie horde.
Grizzly was still displaying his might. Since entering the zombie horde, the infinite rifle in his hand hadn't stopped. He didn't know how many bullets he had fired or how many zombies he had killed.
If it were anyone else, they would have been exhausted after frantically slaughtering for nearly an hour, both physically and mentally. But Grizzly was still in a state of excitement, even a little bloodthirsty.
It's only because he's now an Awakened, and his physique has been greatly enhanced. If it were the him from before, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand such a long period of high-intensity combat. This is the difference between humans and zombies, and the fundamental reason for the terror of the zombie horde.
An endless horde of zombies, a ceaseless onslaught. Even Superman would never last to the end surrounded by the zombie horde. No matter how many zombies he could kill, he would eventually fall, because humans are not perpetual motion machines, and their stamina will eventually run out.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
The gun in Grizzly's hand was still spewing bullets wildly. He didn't even bother to aim deliberately anymore. With so many dense zombies, it wasn't easy to miss. He just swept across them.
While sweeping, Grizzly even had time to look up at the enhanced zombies on the surrounding buildings. If Li Chenzhou hadn't told him not to attack them, lest he startle the snake and cause the mastermind to act prematurely, Grizzly would have aimed his gun at them long ago.
Suddenly, Grizzly's body shook violently, and the gun in his hand even stopped roaring. He stared blankly at an enhanced zombie standing on the seventh floor of a building to his left—a Shadowfiend. A trace of sadness and anger appeared in his eyes!
It was his former teammate—Falcon!
"Falcon!"
Grizzly murmured, then quickly shifted his gaze and pulled the trigger on the zombie horde again, as if to vent the anger in his heart.
But in the next moment, his gaze suddenly turned back, and an unbelievable look appeared on his face, because... Falcon's right hand, hanging outside his thigh, was constantly flexing and extending his fingers, making slight movements.
That was their sign language, used to communicate with each other on the battlefield or in other situations where it wasn't appropriate to speak.
"Leave quickly. Break out at all costs. Don't enter the city again, or you won't be able to leave. A very powerful guy is controlling the zombie horde. Leopard is also that guy's subordinate now!"
This was what Falcon was saying to Grizzly with his hands, and he kept repeating it. The most frequent movement was the first three words: Leave quickly!!!
"Are the Captain and the others still alive?"
Grizzly stopped shooting, raised his left hand to pretend to wipe sweat, and asked with several movements:
"Are the Captain and the others okay?"
"They're all still alive. Leave quickly. We'll find a way to contact you!"
Falcon responded.
"Boss! Situation!"
Grizzly took a deep breath and immediately relayed the warning Falcon had given him over the communicator!
"You're saying... Falcon, who has become a Shadowfiend, is giving you sign language, warning you to leave quickly?"
Hearing Grizzly's words, Li Chenzhou felt like he had been screwed over by a dog.
What's the situation in this apocalypse? Why is it so different from the one he experienced? If you say that advanced zombie kings can communicate with people, that's acceptable, but... an agile Shadowfiend actually retains human consciousness and even knows sign language. This is...
"Hurry! They'll be here in two minutes at most. Then you won't be able to leave. Break out at all costs. Now!!!"
At this moment, Falcon once again gave a series of hand signals urging Grizzly, and Grizzly immediately relayed his warning.
As early as when Grizzly mentioned Falcon's location, Li Chenzhou had looked at him, so he clearly saw the gestures Falcon was making with his hands.
Li Chenzhou certainly couldn't understand this sign language, but at least he knew that Grizzly was telling the truth. This Shadowfiend was really warning them. It's just that Li Chenzhou hadn't seen this Shadowfiend before. He must have been acting as a sentinel on the roof.
"Grizzly, tell Falcon that if the guy controlling them orders them to jump down and attack us later, tell him not to come down, because I'll have Xiao Lei use Soul Shatter!"
Li Chenzhou didn't plan to leave, but he warned Falcon through Grizzly. Since this Shadowfiend retained human consciousness and was still Grizzly's comrade, he naturally wouldn't kill him if he could avoid it.
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Grizzly immediately woke up. He naturally knew about Duan Lei's freakish talent ability, so he immediately warned Falcon with hand gestures!
"Remember, if there are any of our people around, tell them too. No matter when, don't approach within ten meters of us! Try to stay away!"
After sending Li Chenzhou's warning with hand gestures, Grizzly still felt a little uneasy. What if there were still his comrades in other buildings? So he added another sentence.
This time, Falcon didn't give any response, just gave two more hand gestures: Leave quickly!!!
"We can't leave!"
Grizzly said:
"We just want to see what exactly the guy who controlled the entire city is! Don't worry, brother, no matter how strong he is, we will definitely not lose!!!"
