Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 44 Changing Plans
With Xiaoya's voice, Li Chenzhou suddenly felt a burst of confusion in his brain, as if he had been hit by something, and his body staggered.
Duan Lei, who was right behind him, was the same, and even subconsciously reached out to support Li Chenzhou's shoulder. Duan Xue and Gray Bear, who were behind them, fell directly into a coma on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou instantly understood. He quickly rushed to Xiaoya, gently held her shoulders, and said, "Xiaoya, be quiet, don't be excited, slowly withdraw your mental power!"
Seeing Li Chenzhou, Xiaoya, who looked flustered, suddenly pouted, rushed forward, hugged Li Chenzhou's neck, and cried, "Big brother! I want my mommy and daddy, where are they?"
"Xiaoya, mommy is lost, and daddy is looking for her. After daddy finds mommy, they will come back to pick you up. Before that, you will follow big brother, and big brother will protect you, okay?"
Li Chenzhou quickly patted Xiaoya's back and comforted her.
Xiaoya didn't answer, and continued to cry. Duan Lei quickly helped Duan Xue up, checked her breathing, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he went to check on Gray Bear.
Obviously, Xiaoya, like in her previous life, had awakened a mental talent. It was just that she was young, and coupled with the sudden changes, she released her mental power out of tension and fear after waking up.
Fortunately, this mental power was just released unconsciously and was not specifically targeted at anyone. Otherwise, Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei might have been able to withstand it, but Duan Xue and Gray Bear's souls would have been directly scattered.
"When will daddy and mommy be back?"
After crying for a while, Xiaoya suddenly pushed Li Chenzhou away and looked into his eyes, asking.
"Big brother doesn't know either, but mommy needs daddy's help now, so daddy must go to help her and can only leave Xiaoya temporarily. Does Xiaoya want daddy to help mommy?"
Li Chenzhou wiped the tears from Xiaoya's face and asked softly.
"Yes! I do!"
Xiaoya immediately nodded vigorously: "Daddy said, let Xiaoya listen to big brother and follow big brother, then Xiaoya will be obedient and wait for mommy and daddy to come back!"
"Good! Xiaoya is so good!"
Li Chenzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss! My sister and Gray Bear..."
Duan Lei looked at Li Chenzhou and asked worriedly.
"It's okay! Xiaoya just launched a mental shock. Their own mental power is weak, so they fell into a coma. But this kind of untargeted mental shock won't cause fundamental damage. They will wake up!"
Li Chenzhou said. Although he was not a mental-type evolver in his previous life, he still knew something about this.
"Then we... wait here?"
Duan Lei looked around and asked.
There were only five of them in total, two unconscious and one child. Only Li Chenzhou and him could not take everyone with them.
"We can't wait here!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head. This kind of coma caused by mental shock cannot be woken up in a short time. Although Li Chenzhou was anxious to leave the city, he had to temporarily change his plan because of this sudden accident.
He turned his head and looked around, then came to the edge of the overpass and looked down. Then, he pointed to a building on the right and said, "Let's go there! We'll talk about it when your sister wakes up!"
As he said that, Li Chenzhou went over and picked up his backpack, took out a bundle of rope from it, folded the rope in half, tied it to the guardrail, and then threw all the rope in his hand down.
Seeing this, Duan Lei shook his head with a wry smile. Before, he was wondering why Li Chenzhou had to stuff a bundle of rope into his backpack. In the novels about the apocalypse, shouldn't he try to bring more food and water? Now it seemed that it was really not brought in vain.
"Wait with Brother Lei up there for a while. Big brother will go down first and pick up Xiaoya later! Okay?"
After preparing the rope, Li Chenzhou put Xiaoya down, touched her head, and asked.
"Okay!"
Xiaoya nodded vigorously.
Li Chenzhou nodded, then grabbed the rope and climbed down the overpass, which was six or seven meters above the ground.
There were cars everywhere under the bridge, and there were many zombies as well. The reason why he didn't let Duan Lei and the others come down, and he didn't bring anyone with him, was because Li Chenzhou wanted to clean up the zombies below first.
Li Chenzhou's appearance made the surrounding zombies excited. They roared and rushed towards Li Chenzhou. Their movements directly attracted the attention of zombies from further away. Those zombies also swarmed in like a tide.
"Bang!"
Li Chenzhou let go of the rope, and his body landed on the roof of a car. He looked around at the zombies, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Having become a Level 1 Evolver and wearing a combat suit, it was time to have a big kill and find the feeling of rivers of blood from his previous life!
"Puff, puff, puff..."
Li Chenzhou didn't just wait on the roof of the car for the zombies to come. Instead, he took the initiative to rush up, using the advantage of being high above to kill them. The battle blade in his hand danced like snowflakes, killing the zombies that approached him one by one.
Moreover, he didn't deliberately chop the zombies' heads. The movement of the battle blade in his hand was quite casual. Limbs, broken arms, and heads, along with splashing blood, kept flying around him.
The massive death of their companions did not make the zombies feel any fear. They still rushed towards Li Chenzhou one after another. Li Chenzhou was surrounded by the horde of zombies, using the vehicles as obstacles to move quickly, without stopping for more than a second.
Li Chenzhou knew very well that in the face of such a zombie tide, unless there was a sufficiently high defensive position, he had to fight while constantly moving. Because, once he was caught by any zombie, even if he was entangled for only a second, the continuous stream of zombie horde would quickly engulf him.
Looking at Li Chenzhou's battle below, Duan Lei's eyes flashed with shock again. With his intelligence, he understood almost instantly why Li Chenzhou's body was constantly moving.
Originally, he thought that Li Chenzhou jumped onto the roof of that car to fight the zombies in a positional battle, but now he finally knew that if he did that, Li Chenzhou would have been swallowed by the zombie horde long ago.
At this time, Duan Lei finally understood the difference between him and Li Chenzhou. If it were him down there, he would probably be gone by now, and he wouldn't even have the chance to become a zombie—this number of zombies would be enough to tear him to pieces and devour him before he could turn into a zombie.
As Li Chenzhou continued to move, the number of zombies decreased rapidly. In about ten minutes, Li Chenzhou finally stopped. There were no more living zombies around him.
Looking at the zombies wandering aimlessly in the distance who hadn't noticed him, Li Chenzhou ignored them. Instead, he grabbed the rope again and climbed up, first carrying Xiaoya on his back, letting her hug his neck, then picking up Gray Bear with one hand, and pulling the rope with the other hand to slide down the bridge...
