Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 83 Team Expansion
The zombie was still roaring, but because its jaw had been smashed open, the sound was somewhat strange. However, Li Chenzhou and the others looked at this zombie with its arms broken, its jaw drooping powerlessly, and a face full of desire as it tried to rush toward them, and they collectively fell silent...
"Finish it off!"
Li Chenzhou suddenly raised his arm, and the combat blade he had been using appeared in his hand. He raised it in front of Gray Bear and said softly.
Gray Bear took the combat blade without a word, slowly drew it from its sheath, and then forcefully slashed at the zombie's head...
The zombie's roar disappeared instantly. The body, split all the way to the chest cavity, fell directly to the ground, and the splashing blood almost soaked Gray Bear's upper body. But he didn't wipe it away, just looked at the corpse on the ground, then turned to look at the baby in the cradle!
Following his gaze, Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei also looked at the baby. The baby didn't know that his father was dead, and he didn't have that awareness in his mind. He was just crying...
"Boss... what about this little guy?"
Duan Lei looked at Li Chenzhou and asked softly.
Even in a normal world, taking care of a child this young would be a very troublesome thing, let alone in this apocalypse.
At the very least, the little guy might cry out at any time, and that sound would be like a beacon to the zombies...
"Let's take him!"
Looking at the baby struggling unconsciously, Li Chenzhou finally sighed softly, then reached out and picked him up.
Perhaps because he felt the warmth of the embrace, the baby actually stopped crying, looked straight at Li Chenzhou, and then let out a giggling laugh, even reaching out his little hand to grab Li Chenzhou.
Seeing Li Chenzhou pick up the baby, a trace of surprise flashed across Gray Bear's face, because he felt that for a person like Li Chenzhou, the normal choice would be to turn around and leave, and not take this trouble with him at all.
At this time, Li Chenzhou had already turned and walked out holding the baby. Duan Lei, of course, immediately followed. Gray Bear turned to look at the cradle, then looked at Li Chenzhou's departing back, took a deep breath, and hurriedly chased after him...
"You may have to take care of another child!"
Holding the baby, Li Chenzhou walked to the car where Duan Xue was, gently placed the baby in front of Duan Xue, and said.
Perhaps all women have a kind of maternal glow. At the moment she saw the baby's pure eyes, Duan Xue took a deep breath. Then, she leaned Xiao Ya, whom she was holding, against her shoulder and bent her right arm into a cradling shape. Li Chenzhou gently placed the baby on top.
"His parents..."
Duan Xue took the baby and asked subconsciously, but when she saw the expression on Li Chenzhou's face, she didn't ask everything, because the result was already obvious.
"We'll go find some milk powder or something!"
Reaching out and gently pinching the baby's face, Li Chenzhou said, then turned to look around and strode towards a grocery store.
"I didn't expect... he would actually choose to take him!"
Gray Bear and Duan Lei came to the car and looked at the baby, who was being carefully cared for by Duan Xue and was giggling. Gray Bear said.
"The boss said that as long as it doesn't affect his own safety, he will try his best to help humans."
Duan Lei replied softly.
"This... can also be regarded as the last bottom line he has left for himself to show that he is human!"
Looking at the baby, only Duan Lei knew best that the reason why Li Chenzhou took him was because his goal was the space chariot. With the space chariot, taking one more child was of course insignificant.
Of course, the most important thing... was still that father, who protected his child in an extremely tragic way. This should be the biggest key reason why Li Chenzhou chose to help him fulfill his wish!
"Little guy! I hope... you have the opportunity to grow up in this world!"
Reaching out and pinching the baby's little face, causing the little guy, who was looking at Duan Xue and giggling, to cry directly, Duan Lei said with a smile...
At this time, Li Chenzhou had already walked out of the grocery store, carrying two large woven bags in his hand, filled with bagged milk powder and some babao zhou (eight treasure porridge).
Duan Lei immediately opened the back door, Li Chenzhou put the bags in, then took out two milk bottles from his pocket and placed them in front of Duan Xue:
"I'll leave this kid to you to take care of!"
Duan Xue immediately nodded, while looking at the baby who had stopped crying, gently shaking her arm, eliciting the baby's giggling laughter...
Looking at the two, one big and one small, who seemed to be getting along well, and then looking at Xiao Ya, who was still sleeping, Li Chenzhou turned and walked towards his car, leaped up, and sat on the roof of the car, looking at the alley in front of him.
"I didn't expect you would think of taking that little guy with you!"
Gray Bear also came to the car and sat next to Li Chenzhou, also looking at the alley, and said softly.
"I didn't expect it either!"
Li Chenzhou still looked straight ahead and said:
"If we want to save people, there are too many people in here who need our help, but we don't have that much time, and we don't have that obligation either!"
As he spoke, Li Chenzhou pointed to the alley in front of him, suddenly raised his hand, took out the loudspeaker he had just obtained from the grocery store, turned it on, and shouted at the alley:
"The zombies are gone, what are you still hiding in there for? Do you have to wait for someone to come in and carry you out before you are willing to escape?"
After speaking, Li Chenzhou put down the loudspeaker and quietly looked at the opposite side. Sure enough, from the houses in the opposite alley, many people's heads gradually poked out.
When they saw that the alley was really empty, those people's faces were filled with ecstasy. Then, the first person cautiously appeared on the street and tentatively used the iron rod in his hand to forcefully knock on his own iron door, making a loud noise.
"Clang!"
The sound rang out, but no zombies appeared. No matter how loud the iron door was, it couldn't be louder than the sound of a gun, and the zombies that could be attracted by the sound of a gun had already been killed by Li Chenzhou.
The person, who was ready to retreat at any time, looked for a long time and did not find any zombies, so he immediately turned back, then ran out carrying a large bundle and holding a woman's hand...
With his appearance, the alley became lively. Many people ran out of their homes and rushed towards Li Chenzhou and the others, because the voice that had shouted before had come from here.
Looking at the survivors who were rushing towards him, Li Chenzhou suddenly looked at Gray Bear and asked with a smile:
"What do you think... what should we do? Should we take them with us?"
"We... don't have that much time!"
Gray Bear answered almost without any hesitation. He knew very well that if they took people with them, they would waste too much time along the way. Maybe... they wouldn't be able to reach the Qin Ting Hotel in a month!
