Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 37 Driving Away the Leopard

The Leopard also walked out of the bedroom behind Grizzly Bear, his expression complex, with anger, murderous intent, but also a hint of guilt and confusion.

Li Chenzhou took two steps forward and looked into the bedroom. The woman, covered only by a bed sheet, was holding the child's body and weeping on the young man, repeatedly saying sorry.

Seeing this, Li Chenzhou looked at Grizzly Bear with a questioning look. Grizzly Bear sighed and looked at the two men's bodies on the ground, their heads exploded by Duan Lei, and whispered what they had learned from the woman inside.

This was the woman, the young man, and the child – a family of three, also the owners of the house. After the mutation last night, all three of them were lucky enough not to be affected.

The two men had been having barbecue downstairs. It was said that they had come with four people, but after the mutation, only they two had escaped into this building and went all the way up, intending to knock on a door and hide.

Fearing that they would attract the zombies below, they did not dare knock on doors on the lower floors, but rushed to the fifth floor in one breath before starting to knock. However, they received no response.

When they knocked on this door, the woman thought it was a rescue and was about to rush over to open the door, but was stopped by the young man, who looked through the peephole and realized it wasn't rescue.

So, the young man didn't plan to open the door, telling them to leave quickly or hide on the roof.

Having finally encountered a resident who responded, the two outside were naturally unwilling to give up, so they began to beg bitterly, especially after hearing the sound of a child inside. They even said that their child was still waiting for them at home, begging them to open the door and let them hide, promising to be well-behaved and not harm anyone!

The young woman felt sorry for them and was about to agree, but her husband firmly disagreed, because it was not yet clear what the world was like, and he didn't want any strangers to enter his home.

But the woman was overflowing with compassion and insisted on taking the two in, also saying, "If we were outside, you would hope that the people inside would open the door, right?"

So, the woman, against the young man's opposition, insisted on letting the two in. When they first came in, they did indeed behave very well.

Because the chaos below continued, they were all watching downstairs. The whole night passed like this, and during this night, the two also learned that there was no one else in the house except for the young couple and their child.

No matter what the world became, children still had to sleep at night, and they had no idea how terrifying the world had become.

Because there were two strangers in the house, the young man had his wife and child sleep in the bedroom, locking the door, while he stayed in the living room, letting the other two live in the side bedroom.

In fact, after coming in, the two men didn't immediately have any other thoughts, because they had been frightened by the outside world, especially since all the living people below were dead, and zombies were wandering around the community.

Late at night, the two couldn't sleep, so they got up, watching the zombies below while casually chatting about something. Soon, they turned the topic to their current situation.

And when the late night passed, and dawn once again dispelled the darkness, illuminating the world, the two had reached an agreement – they had to find a way to control the family of three.

One reason was that the young man was always very wary of them, even hostile. If it weren't for his wife, he might have forcibly driven them out. Even now, the young man who stayed in the living room kept the only two kitchen knives close to him.

The other reason was food.

They had seen with their own eyes that there were zombies everywhere below. They certainly didn't have the courage to leave, but no one knew when these zombies would leave.

Therefore, before that, they had to ensure that they could survive, and to live, they needed to drink water and eat!

So, the two walked out of the bedroom, pretending to be hungry, and went to find food. Then, they used a rolling pin found in the kitchen to attack the young man, snatching the kitchen knife and subduing him.

Then, they went over and knocked on the bedroom door. Although the young man ignored the threats and shouted loudly for his wife not to open the door, his wife eventually opened the bedroom door under the threat of the two killing the young man.

Originally, the two of them might have just wanted to control the young man and the young woman, but when they saw the young woman opening the bedroom door in her pajamas, her face full of panic and tears, the two suddenly went berserk and began to tear at the young woman's pajamas.

Seeing his wife being humiliated, the young man desperately broke free from the ropes and rushed up to help his wife, but was slashed in the neck by the two with kitchen knives and fell to the ground, struggling. The two ignored him and casually knocked out the crying child who had been awakened, then threw him out and closed the bedroom door.

But the two didn't expect that when they had finished taking turns venting in the bedroom and opened the bedroom door, they found that the young man had already turned into a zombie and was using his knocked-out son as food, tearing at him.

Hearing the noise in the bedroom, the young man abandoned his son and rushed towards the two. In shock, the two used kitchen knives to knock the young man down again. As they were looking at the young man's body, wondering what was going on, the child, who had already stopped breathing, suddenly climbed up as well.

After killing the zombie that the child had become, the two finally understood that when people died, they would turn into zombies.

Seeing her husband and child die tragically in front of her, the young woman who had just been humiliated instantly went crazy. The two immediately controlled her, then tied her to the bed and gagged her mouth.

Then, they threw the bodies of the young man and the child into the bedroom, cleaned up the living room, got some food, and hid here all day. During the day, the two took turns entering the bedroom, venting their depression and fear on the young woman who was tied to the bed, until Duan Lei and the others broke down the door and rushed in.

Because Li Chenzhou was not present when Duan Lei and the others rushed in, Grizzly Bear simply told about the conflict between Duan Lei and Leopard as well during the narration.

After listening to the whole story, Li Chenzhou looked at Duan Lei, who was still constantly killing zombies at the door with his gun, and then looked at Leopard, gently shaking his head and saying:

"Leopard! After Xiaolei cleans up the zombies here, you should go back! You are no longer suitable to follow us!"

"Just because I will stop you from killing people indiscriminately?"

Leopard raised his head and stared at Li Chenzhou, asking.

"First! We will not kill people indiscriminately, second, if we want to kill someone, you can't stop us!"

Li Chenzhou looked at Leopard coldly:

"I'm driving you away just because you are not only useless in my team, but you will also kill the others in the team because of your so-called principles and justice, just like... her!"

Speaking to the end, Li Chenzhou also raised his chin towards the young woman in the bedroom...
