Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 76 The Devil's Victory

“Why…”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s words, a hint of bewilderment flashed in Gray Bear’s eyes, and he repeated the word.

“Because of this world!”

Li Chenzhou looked at the roads on both sides, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

“Our world has undergone drastic changes, and next, people will change, or more precisely, people’s hearts!

In a normal world, there are legal constraints, yet so many people become criminals for various reasons. But now, all constraints are gone, and everyone doesn’t know if they will be alive tomorrow, so…they will release the demons in their hearts and begin their final madness!

You are a soldier, and you can even have the idea of treating your life-saving benefactor as an enemy, wanting to repay kindness with malice. What about others? What will become of those guys who were originally suppressed in their hearts, but did not release it because of the law?”

“But I didn’t…”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s words, Gray Bear subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but he closed his mouth before he could finish speaking.

“I know you didn’t!”

Li Chenzhou continued.

“Do you know why…when I met you before, I not only took the initiative to provide you with a suitable location to establish a base, but even agreed to help you clear zombies along the way?

I don’t want to build a base myself, because I just want to live well with the few people around me. But at the same time, I also hope that some of the leaders of the bases at least have a bottom line.

I know that as the apocalypse continues, even you will change, but I think that no matter how much you change, you should still have your own bottom line, and you will be much stronger than ordinary people, so I hope you can build the base! It’s just a pity…the appearance of the Corpse King was something I didn’t expect!”

“We…we won’t change much! At least the captain won’t change!”

Gray Bear originally wanted to say that we wouldn’t change, but when he thought of the threatening words he had said before, he temporarily changed his mind and turned it into a somewhat feeble defense.

“No! Everyone will change! Because we all have to adapt to this world, or we will be eliminated!”

Li Chenzhou replied.

“And you don’t need to argue with me about this, because…in three days at most, you will see it with your own eyes!”

“See what?”

Gray Bear asked subconsciously.

“If we enter the city from this direction, if we don’t expand the search area and only clean the roadside, it will take us about three days to clean up to the Qin Ting Hotel!”

Li Chenzhou pointed to the road in front of him and said.

“I think, if your captain didn’t give up on those surviving people breaking through, but firmly guarded the hotel, maybe he would have a chance to hold on for three days, right?”

“He definitely won’t!”

Hearing that Li Chenzhou was going to clear a path to the Qin Ting Hotel, Gray Bear was instantly excited and shouted loudly.

“And…we have already collected the food from the hotel, and there is no problem in holding on for a week! But…the Corpse King who commands the zombie horde is intelligent, can they…hold on for three days?”

“Hopefully!”

Li Chenzhou said.

“According to the route calculation, that is already the fastest, and if that’s the case, we can only clean up the zombies in the area surrounding the road from here to the Qin Ting Hotel. There is no way to save the people around, they can only find their own way to escape their hiding places and follow the road to Wu Village. If we want to do more, it will take even longer, even more than a week!”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s words, Gray Bear slowly sat back in his seat, looking at the rearview mirror in front of him, where Li Chenzhou was looking at him.

“You’re right! Humans…will indeed change, and quickly!”

Finally, Gray Bear couldn’t withstand Li Chenzhou’s gaze and took the initiative to turn around to look behind him, muttering in his mouth – he would never have agreed to Li Chenzhou’s way of doing things before.

Although he couldn’t be like Leopard, saving everyone he saw, at least he would definitely feel that he should lend a helping hand along the way.

But now, saving one more person means that the captain and the others have to hold on for a little longer, which will undoubtedly reduce their chances of survival.

But Gray Bear couldn’t give up on his captain and teammates, even though he knew that if his captain were here, he would definitely choose to save more people.

“I’m just…following the captain’s orders!”

Gray Bear silently comforted himself in his heart. Li Yunshan’s order to him was indeed to follow Li Chenzhou out and then return to the hotel, and he did not ask him to save people along the way, and even asked him to obey Li Chenzhou’s orders.

Thinking of this, Gray Bear gradually began to feel that his heart did not seem to be so uncomfortable. In the beginning, he even had the feeling that he was betraying his former beliefs.

Perhaps Gray Bear has not yet realized that once he finds an excuse for his first mistake, then later, he will become more and more comfortable with the mistake, and it will become easier and easier to find various reasons for the mistake, until one day…he no longer needs to find any excuses for the mistake…

“Get ready to enter the city! Look ahead!”

Soon, the two cars were approaching the city. Li Chenzhou threw a pistol to Gray Bear, along with twenty magazines, and said, opening the sunroof at the same time.

Hearing this, Gray Bear turned around, took the gun and magazines, looked ahead, put all the magazines in his accustomed position, then poked half of his body out of the sunroof, stepped on the seat of the back seat, held the gun with both hands, and prepared for battle.

This road leads directly to a shantytown on the edge of Qingcheng. This kind of place has a high population density, and most of them are poor people. The alleys are crisscrossed, and even the main road is not very wide, and can only accommodate two cars passing by.

It is precisely because of this that there are not many cars on this road, because the people who live here rely on electric bikes, bicycles, or public transportation to travel.

But similarly, after the disaster occurred, few people here dared to escape, because it is difficult to avoid being chased by zombies in the alleys. Instead, hiding in their rental house is more likely to survive.

“Bang bang!”

Before entering the streets of the shantytown, two zombies appeared in front of them. Gray Bear shot them in the head with two bursts with a grim expression. Although the gun in his hand was not the kind he was good at using, he was, after all, a soldier, and his accuracy was still there.

“Are we…still following?”

Seeing that Li Chenzhou and the others in front had already encountered zombies, Duan Xue asked a little nervously.

“Of course!”

Duan Lei still controlled the speed of the car, still maintaining about ten meters, and answered softly.

“Our car windows are all closed, and even if the zombies rush over, they can’t get in. If zombies come to our car, Boss will find a way to deal with it!”

At this time, because of Gray Bear’s gunshots, a dozen zombies rushed out of the shantytown one after another, all rushing towards Li Chenzhou’s car. Li Chenzhou looked at Duan Lei’s car behind, and actually slammed on the brakes, then opened the door and walked down, gently shaking his right hand, and a long staff appeared in his hand…
