Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 411 James' Request
Even though the apocalypse had arrived, the concept of national borders still existed in the hearts of soldiers.
"Phew! I think I understand!"
Grizzly exhaled and then looked at Li Chenzhou:
"Boss, you've never been a soldier, how do you understand soldiers so well?"
"I haven't eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run!"
Li Chenzhou laughed.
"..."
Grizzly was speechless. He felt like Li Chenzhou was scolding him, but he couldn't find the evidence.
That night, because James and his men were all drunk and unconscious, Li Chenzhou and Grizzly didn't rest. Anyway, both of them were Level 3 ability users, so staying up all night was no problem. So, they kept watch all night!
Fortunately, the night was peaceful, and nothing happened. No one from the town even bothered Li Chenzhou and his group.
Among those people, there were definitely some who coveted Li Chenzhou's evolutionary serums, but they didn't dare to come over. Karl's body was still hanging on the pole at the entrance of the town, a silent warning.
When James opened his eyes, he found that his vision was like a kaleidoscope, colorful and crystal clear. He was a little mesmerized, thinking he had entered some kind of illusion.
But soon, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol and felt something sticky on his face, so he quickly sat up.
"Clatter!"
The wine glasses and bottles piled on James's face made a chaotic sound, and the remaining wine spilled all over him.
James then realized that he was surrounded by many people lying sprawled all over the place, all of whom were his trusted subordinates. They were still not awake, and even when wine bottles and glasses hit their faces, they were still sleeping soundly!
Looking at the sun in the sky, James realized that the kaleidoscope he had just seen was because the wine glasses and bottles were piled on his face, and the sunlight made them colorful, which made him feel like he had entered an illusion.
"How do you feel?"
Li Chenzhou walked over with a basin of water and placed it in front of James. He also handed him a bottle of mineral water and said with a smile.
"I haven't been this unrestrained since I was twenty!"
James took the mineral water, opened it, and drank it all in one gulp. He threw the bottle hard into the distance, then plunged his head into the basin of water and washed his face randomly. He raised his head, shook off the water, and sighed:
"Very good, very relaxed! Since the apocalypse, my mind has been very tense, and I don't know when it will break. Now it's better, I seem to be able to calmly accept this world!"
"Haha! It seems your drinking wasn't in vain!"
Li Chenzhou patted James on the shoulder:
"Actually, whether you accept it or not, this world has already come. You can't escape it. So, the faster you adapt to this world, the faster you can become stronger! Otherwise, you can only be eliminated!"
After saying that, Li Chenzhou stood up and looked around:
"Alright, I'm going to prepare to go to the port. James, choose your men within two days! I'll be back once more!"
"I can give you the men now!"
James said:
"Also, let them go with you. They are also warriors from the ship. When they get there, they can help you. Although this kind of help can't completely offset your evolutionary serum, it's at least some kind of contribution!
Things that are completely free are often not cherished. So, let them pay a price. If you can increase their workload, that would be even better!"
"Good!"
Li Chenzhou looked at James, smiled suddenly, and readily agreed:
"As for increasing the workload, it can only depend on their luck. After all... those guys are not so easy to find now!"
"Haha! It doesn't matter, as long as you remember this!"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, James also laughed. He knew that Li Chenzhou understood what he meant, so he had nothing to worry about.
Last night, when they were drinking, Li Chenzhou and Grizzly didn't really participate much, especially Li Chenzhou. It required translation to speak, and that kind of format was okay at other times, but when drinking, it would seem quite awkward.
Think about it. You just told a joke, then laughed, then shut your mouth and waited for Grizzly or Lucas to translate it, and then everyone around you burst out laughing. Doesn't that scene look like an idiot is teasing a group of morons?
So, they only drank for a while at the beginning and ate some grilled and stewed mutated beast meat. The mutated beasts they encountered on the mountain yesterday were two wild boars and a pheasant. Because of the surge in size, one wild boar was enough for them to eat. So, Li Chenzhou gave the other one to James.
Because they were going out to sea, they would definitely not lack fish, so there was no need to carry a wild boar back. He simply gave James a favor.
This time, James didn't directly hand the wild boar over to the survivors and let them solve it themselves, as Li Chenzhou had thought. Instead, he locked it directly in his room, apparently not planning to share it with the other survivors.
This was also what Li Chenzhou taught him. Giving a bushel of rice builds gratitude, but giving a *dan* (approximately 10 bushels) of rice builds enmity. If they keep supporting these survivors like this, they will slowly get used to it and not realize that they are receiving help from others!
This is also why James wanted his men to go to the port with Li Chenzhou just now. He obviously deeply agreed with Li Chenzhou's words!
"I'll try my best, James! Also! Since they are going with me! Then I may not come back later! Let's say goodbye in advance!"
Li Chenzhou looked at James and said:
"James, you're a good guy. So, I hope you can hold on. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely try to come back. I hope that when that time comes, I can see you again!"
"Okay! I'll try my best, don't worry. Although I'm not as powerful as you, but... it won't be so easy to kill me!"
James said with a smile, then suddenly paused, reached out and grabbed Li Chenzhou's shoulder and said:
"But, there's one thing I hope you can promise me!"
"What is it? Just say it!"
"*&%&...¥%&..."
This time, when James said his request, Grizzly, who was acting as a translator, was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Chenzhou strangely. He didn't even translate it for him...
