Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 84 Powerless Grizzly Bear

“That’s right! We… have no time!”

Li Chenzhou raised his head to look at the sky and said.

Of course, the time he was talking about was completely different from the time that Gray Bear was talking about. Gray Bear’s time was about getting to the Qinting Hotel as soon as possible, while Li Chenzhou’s time… was five years…

The survivors who rushed out of the alley soon arrived next to Li Chenzhou's car. Looking at the car, they hesitated for a moment, and then a middle-aged man asked:

“Excuse me, are you here for rescue?”

“No!”

Gray Bear answered the question and pointed towards Wu Village:

“We’re just killing these zombies along the way. If you want to survive, collect food and water, and then head in this direction. You can reach Wu Village, where it’s temporarily safe!”

“Thank you!”

The middle-aged man nodded and pulled his wife towards the grocery store, while the other survivors greedily looked at the car Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear were in. However, because of the huge and ferocious gun in Gray Bear's hand, they ultimately said nothing and all rushed into the grocery store.

Soon, fighting and cursing could be heard from inside the grocery store. After all, the goods inside were limited, but there were many people, and if there were no restrictions, everyone would want more!

“Bang!”

Just then, a gunshot suddenly rang out, right next to Gray Bear, scaring him. He turned to look at Li Chenzhou and saw that his right arm was raised, holding a gun in his hand. The sound of the gunshot came from there.

Following the direction of the muzzle, Gray Bear turned his head and saw Duan Xue’s car.

Duan Xue was sitting in the passenger seat, so the driver's seat was naturally empty. But now, on the driver's side, a body was lying down. It was a young man in his early twenties. He was about to pull open the car door, but he didn't expect to be shot through the heart by a bullet, ending his life.

Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear had guns, so no one had any other thoughts about their car. But Duan Xue was just a woman with two children, sitting in the passenger seat, so naturally some people would have other ideas.

“Son!”

Behind the young man, a woman in her fifties cried out in despair, throwing herself on the young man's body and wailing:

“Look at this! Is there still justice? Killing people at will! This is… Ah~ son, what are you doing? Let go of me, help~~!”

The woman's cry was only halfway through when it suddenly turned into a scream, because the young man she was holding actually reached out and hugged her, opening his mouth and biting into her neck, tearing off a large piece of flesh…

Then, the young man rolled over, pinning the woman under him, constantly chewing in his mouth, then biting down again, tearing off another piece of flesh in his mouth amidst the splashing blood…

“This is…”

At this time, many survivors were running towards the outside of the city, and because Duan Xue's car was at the exit, they also saw the young man frantically tearing at the woman, and couldn't help but stop their steps.

“Bang, bang!”

Li Chenzhou raised his arm, and with two gunshots, a bloody hole appeared in the eyebrows of both the young man and the woman, and then they fell to the ground.

The survivors looked at the two corpses, then turned their heads to look at Li Chenzhou, and then stepped out again to flee towards the outside of the city. This time, no one dared to have any ideas about the car with only a woman holding two children…

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Gray Bear also saw the deaths of the woman and her son from beginning to end, so he turned to look at Li Chenzhou and asked.

“Yeah!”

Li Chenzhou nodded, looking at the gun in his hand:

“Actually… if I want to kill people now, I can kill them at will, because they can’t resist at all, but… I still hope that every time I kill a human, I have to find a suitable reason for myself!”

Saying that, Li Chenzhou turned to look at Gray Bear, and said with a serious face:

“Because… once I feel that I don’t even need a reason to kill people, I might have no bottom line!”

“A bottom line… is a good thing!”

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Gray Bear looked at the people running out of the alley, and then looked at the grocery store with a corpse at the door, took a deep breath, and nodded.

Li Chenzhou was of course aware of the situation at the grocery store, and he even saw that the corpse lying outside was a man in his early thirties.

He was running out holding a few bottles of water and a few bags of bread, pulling a little girl about five years old, but he was hit by a wine bottle thrown from behind. After falling down, two guys with tattoos on their arms rushed out, first smashing his head with the wine bottle, then snatching the water and bread he was holding, and finally dragging the crying girl into the grocery store and closing the door…

“Don’t you plan to do something?”

Looking at the grocery store, Gray Bear asked.

“It has nothing to do with me!”

Li Chenzhou said lightly:

“In the future… you’ll see a lot of this kind of thing, you’ll get used to it! I said a long time ago that after the apocalypse arrives, the first to control people’s hearts will be the devil!”

Looking back at the grocery store, the little girl's heart-wrenching cries could already be faintly heard from inside, but Li Chenzhou was still sitting in the car, saying:

“I’m not a savior, so what I have to do now is to rest well, recover as soon as possible, and then… continue to move forward. As for what happens on the road, as long as it has nothing to do with me, I can turn a blind eye!”

“……”

Gray Bear turned his head to look at the grocery store, his hand tightly gripping the gun. He knew that as long as he jumped out of the car now, fired a shot at the grocery store, and said a word, the girl would be saved.

But… what about after that?

Li Chenzhou had just saved a baby, but he was the leader of the team, so he had the right to decide everything. What about him? After saving the girl, what would he do with her?

Without his help, it would be impossible for the girl to reach Wu Village alone and survive in this kind of world.

And he couldn’t possibly keep her by his side and protect her because of such a girl, because… he wasn’t her father…

At this moment, a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in Gray Bear’s heart.

He wanted to save people, but he didn’t have the ability to do so. Saving the girl was easy, but what about after that?

Along the way, maybe every ten meters would be someone like that little girl who needed help, and just like Li Chenzhou said, if he really kept saving people like that, would he really have the ability to do so?

“Choose a goal for yourself, and you’ll know what to do!”

Looking at the confusion in Gray Bear’s eyes, Li Chenzhou suddenly said:

“If you want to become a savior, then go save people now. If you stick to your former beliefs, then break through all the way and find your captain. If you just want to survive…”
