Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 408 Recruiting Begins
Hearing James' words, Karl's eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope. He knew that after James' earlier speech, the surrounding survivors probably hated him to the core, especially after that sentence: *Originally, some of you could have become ability users.*
But no matter what, when he had incited others before, quite a few had responded. So, Mike thought that no matter what, finding someone willing to protect him shouldn't be too difficult!
"Kill him, the damned bastard!"
"Yeah, take him out!"
"General, what are you waiting for? Kill this bastard! Twist his head off!"
"Kill this damned bastard! He almost destroyed our base!"
"..."
However, when Karl looked around with a hopeful expression, he found that everyone around him was shouting excitedly to kill him. No one was willing to step forward to save his life!
Karl had miscalculated one thing. When he had incited others in the beginning, it was because he had grasped their psychology, especially the first time, when there was an evolution potion as bait, and naturally some greedy people would follow the crowd.
But now, James had made it clear that it was because of his constant questioning of Li Chenzhou that the evolution potions they might have obtained had flown away.
This was equivalent to damaging their own interests, and these survivors couldn't wait to kill Karl with their own hands. Even some who knew Karl didn't dare to stand up when they saw the emotions of the people around them.
Obviously, if they stood up, maybe James would keep his promise and let Karl go, but he and Karl would definitely be expelled. In this world, being expelled from the base basically meant death, and no one was willing to risk their own life to vouch for Karl.
James wasn't in a hurry either, he waited quietly for a few minutes, then looked at Karl and slowly said:
"See? Everyone thinks you deserve to die! This is what you asked for. I said before, Li and the others saved us. Even if we don't feel grateful to him, we shouldn't repay kindness with malice!
"You treat your benefactors like this, so who would risk saving you? So, everything you're facing now is your own doing. Don't blame anyone, go to God and repent!"
"No! General James, I don't want to..."
Karl was shocked and shouted quickly, but before he could finish speaking, James exerted force in his hand and snapped his neck with a *crack*...
"Roar!"
The next moment, Karl, who had turned into a zombie, roared and clawed at James. James stared at him blankly, took out a pistol with his other hand, pointed it at his head, and said:
"After becoming a zombie, you've gained some courage!"
"Bang!"
As he spoke, James pulled the trigger, and a bloody hole instantly appeared between Karl's eyebrows, and his head tilted to the side again...
"Drag him out and hang him on a pole in front of the town. If anyone wants to cause trouble for Li and the others again, they might as well take a look at him first!"
Casually throwing Karl's body down, James said to his subordinates. Two people immediately came out from behind him, dragged Karl's body and walked towards the outside of the town!
Li Chenzhou had also been watching this side. When he saw James throw Karl's body down, he shook his head gently.
"What's wrong? You wouldn't feel sorry for this guy's death, would you?"
Gray Bear looked at Li Chenzhou strangely and asked.
"Not sorry, but it's a pity!"
Li Chenzhou said indifferently:
"Killing him twice would be two points of Slaughter Points!"
Gray Bear: "..."
After dealing with Karl, James also walked out of the town and came to Li Chenzhou's car, looking at him and asking:
"Are you leaving?"
"Yeah!"
Li Chenzhou nodded:
"There are still some enhanced zombies in the city. Also, I'm not sure if the guy who controlled the zombie tide is really dead, so you still have to be careful in the future!"
"I'm very sorry about Karl's matter, but I really didn't know when he ran back to the town. If I knew..."
James seemed to want to try to explain, but was immediately interrupted by Li Chenzhou:
"James! I know, this has nothing to do with you. So many people left the city last night, you couldn't possibly assign someone to watch that guy!
"Besides, my leaving has little to do with him either. You know, I said from the beginning that I wanted to return to my hometown, my people are there! Whether Karl's matter happened or not, I would have left!
"Moreover, at least here, you can settle down. As long as you are careful, I believe you can survive! Build this place well, and I look forward to the day when you completely clear the zombies from this city and regain control of it!"
"Okay!"
James nodded helplessly:
"Thank you, Li, and Bear! Without you, we couldn't have come here! To build our base, but I have nothing to thank you with! Maybe... we can have a good drink tonight, in your East, there seems to be a name called a housewarming celebration, should this be considered a housewarming celebration?"
"Haha! Of course!"
Li Chenzhou laughed. He knew that James was trying to get close to him because he wanted to get some more evolution potions before he left. Li Chenzhou didn't care, anyway, it was impossible for James to level up anymore.
Now, Li Chenzhou can't be sure whether the level limit distinguishes regions. For example, if James's level reaches level four, can all the zombies on this planet break through the level and rise to level four, or can only the zombies in this city rise to level four?
He doesn't intend to take this risk, so he can take out some evolution potions, but he will never give them to James again!
At this time, Mike and the other sixty people had been surrounded by all the other survivors. After all, these people were from their side, and they knew each other well.
Many people looked at the guys who were originally ordinary people like themselves, and suddenly became ability users in the blink of an eye, and had fought against tens of thousands of enhanced zombie tides, and were all filled with envy and jealousy.
And these guys who were surrounded were also adding fuel to the fire, constantly recounting their experiences after leaving the base. Some people even directly dragged people to the giant Tyrant's corpse, pointing at the corpse and gesturing while saying something.
They all had their own missions, because relying on them alone was not enough to drive the warship freely, so they needed more manpower.
And here, it was inconvenient for Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear to recruit people themselves, so they could only let them do it!
However, this task was quite easy for these people, after all, they themselves were examples, especially after the previous battle, they had obtained evolution potions again, and now they were all level two ability users! With the same huge improvement as James' previous level, it was of course easy for them to pull people to follow Li Chenzhou...
