Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 93 Good Luck To You!
Li Chenzhou shook his head, then said to Luo Hong, who had run out and was looking at them, bewildered:
"Have the people in the first ten vehicles get out of their cars! Come up front!"
"Get out of the cars?"
Luo Hong was taken aback, but still picked up the walkie-talkie and repeated Li Chenzhou's words into it:
"People in the first ten vehicles, get out of your cars and come to the first vehicle!"
Because he had established his authority along the way, Luo Hong's order was quickly carried out. In the first five vehicles, most were adult men, all from the combat team, because clearing the road was the most dangerous.
The next five vehicles were filled with the old, weak, sick, and disabled. This position was closest to the combat team and easier to protect.
The combat team arrived first. Although the weather was hot, these guys were actually wearing thick down jackets, their arms wrapped with magazines and newspapers, which surprised Li Chenzhou. He then understood that they were using these things to resist the teeth and claws of the zombies, equivalent to simple armor.
The people who came to the front were not particularly surprised to see Li Chenzhou, but they all looked at him with expectant and uneasy eyes. The people in the first car also recognized Li Chenzhou and had already spread the word about his arrival to the rear.
Looking at the increasing number of survivors and their strange outfits, Liu Yuanming couldn't figure out why, but he didn't care.
Li Chenzhou's previous guess was correct. He planned to wait until Li Chenzhou left, and then remain in the underground armory forever with the bodies of his son and three subordinates!
For a man with a death wish, Liu Yuanming didn't care about others. All he wanted now was to bring back his son's body and not let anyone else take it.
"It's useless to call more people. I'll count to three. If you don't return my son to me, I'll shoot you dead!"
Liu Yuanming said:
"You don't need to scare me with numbers. Like you said, I'm ready to die, so why would I be afraid of more people? My only wish now is to die with my son, and the bullets in my gun are enough to fulfill my wish. Don't force me to add you to the list!"
"I can return him to you now!"
Li Chenzhou turned to look at Liu Yuanming, suddenly smiled, and then actually walked over with Liu Chuang's body.
Liu Yuanming frowned, but Li Chenzhou had no weapons in his hand and was supporting Liu Chuang, so he didn't make any move. Instead, he was wary of Gray Bear and Luo Hong behind him, but neither of them made any move, just watching Li Chenzhou quietly.
"To be an idol and hero in your son's eyes, and to have chosen the same profession as you, I think you must be a qualified professional soldier!"
Arriving in front of Liu Yuanming, Li Chenzhou said, then turned and pointed to the survivors standing in front of the first vehicle:
"See those people with sticks, knives, and other weapons, wearing down jackets? They are all ordinary people, not professional soldiers, but they are now doing what you soldiers should be doing.
See those children? And those old people and women, what's in their eyes? Confusion, fear, because this world has suddenly changed. If it weren't for those people with weapons, they might still be trapped in the city by zombies, waiting for death in despair! I think you should have seen that look in your son's eyes before he died, right?"
Liu Yuanming subconsciously looked at the survivors, saw the fear in the children's eyes, and his body suddenly trembled. In his wooden eyes, there seemed to be a trace of struggle.
"His captain and other team members are in the Qin Ting Hotel. When the apocalypse happened, they stood up, cleared all the zombies in the hotel, and protected the surviving survivors. They did what they were supposed to do."
Li Chenzhou then pointed to Gray Bear and said:
"But now, they are surrounded by hordes of thousands of zombies and can only defend themselves in the hotel. They can't break through with so many ordinary people because they don't have enough guns and ammunition!
Now, you should know the situation. See this long convoy? Hundreds of ordinary people rely on these people with sticks and other crude weapons, risking their lives to fight zombies to protect them.
And in the distance, there is a team of soldiers protecting dozens of civilians, but because they have no ammunition, they can only choose to hold on. After they run out of all their food, what awaits them will be death, and a complete annihilation!"
Li Chenzhou delivered Liu Chuang's body to Liu Yuanming, and said with an indifferent expression:
"Now, you can tell us in front of your son, who calls you a hero and admires you, that if we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves!
And you will take your son, along with those weapons that could have saved more people, and be buried forever in that underground place! Just because… of the procedures you insist on!"
Liu Yuanming subconsciously took Liu Chuang's body, looked at his pale face, then looked at the gun in his hand, and finally turned his gaze to the survivors in the distance.
"Come with me!"
After more than a minute, Liu Yuanming finally sighed and said, then slowly turned around, hugged Liu Chuang's body horizontally, and walked back to the war room step by step. His back, which was originally as straight as a pine tree, suddenly seemed much hunched…
"Call some people over to move the weapons!"
Li Chenzhou looked at Liu Yuanming's back and knew that he had relented, but there was no joy in his eyes. He just turned to Luo Hong and said something, then silently followed…
"Beep!"
Sitting in front of a computer, Liu Yuanming quickly operated it with his fingers. After the progress bar on the screen turned completely green and made a beep, he stood up and looked at Li Chenzhou:
"Okay! I have lifted all the restrictions here. Now all the access controls are open, and the password has returned to its initial state, from 1 to 9! I'll leave this place to you, but… if remote communication is restored, then you will lose control of this place again!"
"What?"
Hearing Liu Yuanming's words, Li Chenzhou was stunned. He thought Liu Yuanming lifted the access control to make it easier for them to move weapons, but he didn't expect him to hand over the entire place to him.
"This is the outskirts of the city, and there is a lot of space underground, enough for all of you to hide inside. It's safer than being above ground!"
Liu Yuanming looked at Li Chenzhou with a complex expression:
"You're right, those weapons shouldn't be buried with me, and this ideal shelter shouldn't become my grave! So I'll leave it all to you! Good luck!"
After saying that, Liu Yuanming picked up the body on the table and turned to walk outside, actually preparing to leave. And his pistol was now quietly placed on the table, flashing a dim light under the lamp…
