Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 62 Awakened with a Cold
Luo Hong's words plunged the shopping mall into silence. Everyone was looking at him. Even those who didn't read novels knew what a transmigrator represented.
Normally, someone like Luo Hong, who suddenly claimed another person was a transmigrator, would probably be beaten to death or taken away by doctors. But this was the apocalypse. Even zombies, creatures that completely defied science, were running around. What was one more transmigrator?
Moreover, looking at the hundreds of zombie corpses killed by Li Chenzhou, almost everyone instantly accepted Luo Hong's words!
That's right, that guy was too abnormal. He must be a transmigrator. Otherwise, how could he have the guts to rush out and kill so many zombies? He also knew that the zombies were summoned and knew about strengthening zombies and the crystal cores inside their brains.
Thinking about Li Chenzhou's uniqueness, the eyes of everyone in the mall began to gleam. If… if they could follow a transmigrator, wouldn't they have a better chance of surviving in this damned world?
In an instant, everyone's attention focused on Luo Hong, even those who were trying to find something in the zombie corpses.
Since that incredibly powerful guy said there were no crystal cores in these zombie corpses, then there definitely weren't any. Otherwise, why wouldn't he break open the corpses himself to search?
"Brother Chenzhou told me that he can help us, even treat us as his own people, let us follow him. But he doesn't need trash. In this world, no one will carry a burden that makes no contribution!"
Seeing everyone's gazes, Luo Hong was overjoyed, knowing that he had at least succeeded halfway. At least, these guys didn't question him or raise new questions. So, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued,
"Therefore, he wants us to leave the city using our own strength, because he said that only by leaving the city and establishing a base can we survive in this apocalypse!
As long as we can successfully leave here and establish our own base, reaching the standard, he will appear and lead us to survive in this apocalypse.
I have decided to accept Brother Chenzhou's test. If anyone has the same idea as me, then listen to my command. I will lead everyone to establish a base of our own and complete this test. He has already told me how to leave and how to establish a base. As long as we follow my command, we will definitely be able to do it!"
Saying this, Luo Hong looked at the people around him and suddenly smiled,
"Of course, I won't force anyone! I welcome those who want to join me with open arms. I will never force those who don't want to. So now, everyone, make your choice. Those who want to join me and have a good time in this apocalypse, fighting for a piece of our own territory, come to me. Those who don't want to, do as you please!"
As soon as Luo Hong finished speaking, the people around him immediately rushed towards him. They didn't need to think about it at all, and they knew how to choose.
In this apocalypse where zombies were rampant, no one wanted to live alone. No matter who it was, as long as they had the ability to gather a large group of people, others would want to join. Humans are social animals by nature!
Just like Zhao Dahai upstairs, he was just an air conditioning installer. Before the apocalypse, the white-collar elites he rescued would not even look at him.
But now, just because he had a group of people like him who dared to kill zombies, those so-called human elites were willing to gather around him.
Luo Hong didn't show any great ability, but he had a "transmigrator" behind him, a transmigrator who had just killed more than three hundred zombies in front of them with his own strength.
With such a powerful backer, who wouldn't want to hug it? Even if they couldn't hug the thigh, pulling a leg hair down would be good!
So, everyone present wanted to follow Luo Hong. Luo Hong accepted everyone and directly selected a few people to help him. At the same time, he quickly reviewed what Li Chenzhou had said before in his mind.
According to Li Chenzhou, they would establish their own base outside the city, so they must find a place with a water source nearby, and then use cars to surround an open space, which would be the prototype of the base.
In that case, what he needed was food and drinking water, as well as tents, quilts, pots, pans, and fishing gear that could be used in the open space, and vehicles that could carry these things away.
After a rough calculation, there were about two hundred survivors in the entire shopping mall. Luo Hong immediately divided these people into groups. Those who could drive were in the driver group, and they all went outside to find trucks or buses.
Those who were brave and dared to kill zombies were in the hunting group, and they went to the second floor and above to clear the zombies in each store. The others were in the resource group, distributed to various floors to collect the various materials listed by Luo Hong.
For some reason, with Luo Hong's command and the division of people into groups, the fear in the hearts of all the survivors was inexplicably diluted a lot.
Although they had not yet left the city, and it was even possible that in the next second, these zombies would no longer be summoned, and they would fall back into the kind of fear they had experienced before.
But at least now, they had a clear goal. Whether it was collecting supplies or finding vehicles, they had things to do, allowing them to take action and no longer be filled with confusion and茫然(mángrán, aimlessness).
"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!!!"
Li Chenzhou, who was driving away, of course didn't know that Luo Hong was carrying his banner and pulling up his own team, and even accidentally exposed his identity!
However, he suddenly sneezed a few times, so he subconsciously rubbed his nose and muttered in his heart, he was already an Awakened One, would he still catch a cold?
Duan Lei looked at Li Chenzhou, then looked at the small road they were driving on. He seemed to have thought of something and turned his gaze to the rearview mirror, looking at Gray Bear behind him in silence.
They had planned a route before when they left, which was the route that Li Chenzhou had drawn for Li Yunshan at the beginning, because Li Chenzhou had promised Li Yunshan to help them clear the way!
But this time, Li Chenzhou didn't take that route, but directly turned into a side road next to him. Li Chenzhou had seen this route before, it was not blocked, and it could also bypass to the outer ring road!
Seeing Li Chenzhou changing the route, and combining it with the direction of the Zombie King who summoned the zombies, Duan Lei also realized something. After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked,
"Boss! The Zombie King who summons zombies… is in that hotel?"
