Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 64 Finally Out of the City

“What! You…”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s words, the woman became agitated, wanting to say something fiercely, but her son grabbed her arm and covered her mouth.

“Brother! Sorry, we didn’t mean anything by it. We’ll leave right away, right away!”

The man also reacted, remembering that this young man in front of him was not a police officer, and had just killed five living people. Especially Li Chenzhou’s gaze made him understand that if he continued to pester, he might really continue to kill.

Watching the family of three get into their car and leave in a disheveled manner, Li Chenzhou walked back to his own car and got into the driver’s seat.

“This is why so many people liked being unreasonable before the apocalypse, and even dared to act shamelessly when facing law enforcement officers.”

After the van started moving again, Duan Lei looked at the SUV escaping at high speed in the distance, and said with a hint of sarcasm:

“Because they know that the person in front of them will reason with them, trying to solve the problem with logic, so they are not afraid, and they can be arbitrarily tyrannical.

They know that as long as I am unreasonable, as long as I don’t admit it, then you can’t do anything to me! Even if you’re driven mad, you won’t dare to act, so you’ll eventually compromise, and I’ll always get what I want. And even if I don’t get it, I won’t lose anything anyway!

But when facing vicious people holding weapons, they become quite honest, not even daring to say a word, because they know that the other party is even more unreasonable than them and really dares to act. At this time, they become sheep instead.”

As he spoke, Duan Lei suddenly turned to look at Li Chenzhou, and asked with a smile:

“Boss, do you believe that when that woman said you broke their car window, if you hadn’t cocked the gun but had tried to explain to them why you broke the window, they would have immediately become angry and told you that no matter what the premise was, you shouldn’t have broken their car window, because it was their car!”

“That’s why I don’t plan to reason with anyone. I have a gun, why should I reason?”

Li Chenzhou also laughed:

“It’s hard to be a good person because good people have high standards, are self-disciplined, and are bound by laws and morals. That’s why they are bullied more. But bad people don’t, because they have no bottom line, so everyone stays away from them! In this world, I will choose to be the latter!”

“Yeah! This world will change too, too many people!”

Duan Lei looked around with emotion, a sense of vicissitude appearing in his eyes, as if he were not seventeen or eighteen years old, but seventy or eighty.

“No! The world hasn’t changed people. Human beings change entirely because of themselves!”

Li Chenzhou looked ahead and said:

“See those people waving and begging us for help? If we ignore them all, then we’ll be fine. But if we stop, even if we only help one person, the others will desperately rush towards us, because since we’ve helped one, we must take them all with us.

I bet that when leaving the city, countless people with kind hearts, willing to lend a helping hand, will leave this world because of this, because not everyone has enough strength to protect themselves while helping others.

So, their salvation will ultimately be buried with their bodies, disappearing from this world forever. Human kindness does not disappear because of this world, but dies from the selfishness and jealousy that also comes from humanity!”

Listening to Li Chenzhou’s final conclusion, Duan Lei was silent for a long time. He looked at the survivors fleeing in terror around him, watching the fights and even the killings that occurred because of food or vehicles. He suddenly realized that humans might be afraid when facing zombies, but when facing their own kind, especially when facing those with conflicting interests, they could be quite crazy and ferocious.

“Boss! You’re right!”

After a long time, Duan Lei’s sigh finally sounded, constantly spreading and echoing in the air for a long time…

Li Chenzhou had chosen a good route. Although there were occasionally a few cars blocking the way, they couldn’t really stop them from moving forward, and Duan Lei’s arm, stretched out the window holding a pistol, also saved them from countless troubles.

Finally, they crossed the outer ring road and entered the intercity highway. They were on the side heading into the city, which not only had no cars, but even few zombies could be seen. After all, when the apocalypse happened, everyone was trying to leave the city, and not many people would be foolish enough to enter the bustling city at this time, even if their relatives were inside.

At this time, Li Chenzhou’s van was already quite dilapidated, because it had been ramming its way through, but they didn’t plan to change cars. Anyway, as long as they got out of the city, the rest would be easy!

However, Li Chenzhou did not leave the city completely, but stopped at the edge of the city, looking at the houses by the roadside!

Because the route had changed, although their final route out of the city now overlapped with the previously planned one, Li Chenzhou didn’t intend to actually go to that picking garden—he didn’t plan to establish a base anyway!

The suburbs of the city were basically the same, either factories or farmland, and on both sides of the highway were large tracts of farmland, with small patches of two-story buildings connected in between.

Li Chenzhou didn’t know what this village was called, but it was undoubtedly a relatively ideal temporary base. However, to enter the village, Li Chenzhou and the others had to abandon their vehicles.

Li Chenzhou got out of the car, stood on the roof, and looked around. He finally chose a small farm with about dozens of households. There were cars in the farm, as well as a cement road parallel to the highway. It was not far from the outskirts of the city, which was just right for them.

Most importantly, Li Chenzhou saw that there were many zombies wandering around in the farm, which at least meant that there must be many unclaimed two-story buildings. They could completely occupy one of them as their base, waiting for Xiao Ya and Duan Xue to wake up!

At this time, cars were already passing by Li Chenzhou and the others one after another. Seeing their dilapidated car, no one stopped to ask if they needed help, and Li Chenzhou was not surprised.

Because people who could have such thoughts were unlikely to have arrived here so quickly, including Li Chenzhou and his group themselves!

“Let’s go! We’re going there!”

Pointing to the farm, Li Chenzhou picked up Xiao Ya, then grabbed Gray Bear’s belt and climbed over the highway railing. Duan Lei also carried all two backpacks from the car on his back, and then carried Duan Xue and chased after him…
