Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 374 Mike's Dog-Shit Luck

Chapter 165 Going Back

It was unclear whether it was due to fewer vehicles or if the one controlling the zombie horde was genuinely preoccupied with some grand scheme, leaving them alone. Regardless, they arrived at Henry Town safely once more!

Despite having only two buses, they managed to transfer over 180 people this time. Overloading wasn't a concern at this point; they packed in as many as possible.

Additionally, they brought three large shipping containers full of supplies. Tony had carefully selected these resources after learning about the situation in Henry Town, focusing on items that were urgently needed, which eased the immediate crisis.

Li Chenzhou and his team didn't delay. They left all the vehicles behind without even exchanging pleasantries. The people they transported were all from the port and already familiar with each other, so Li Chenzhou didn't need to worry.

They found a car in town, and Li Chenzhou, Grey Bear, and Mike returned to tirelessly shuttle between the city and the port.

For an entire day, Li Chenzhou and his group made over a dozen trips, finally managing to move all the survivors from the port, along with a large quantity of supplies, to Henry Town. By this time, Henry Town had turned into a bustling construction site, with over two thousand survivors constantly moving around, carrying out various renovations.

Houses in this country differed from those in China. Chinese houses were mostly made of reinforced concrete, or at least brick and tile, even the poorer ones. But here, almost all the houses were made of wood.

Naturally, these houses weren't as sturdy as those made of reinforced concrete, but they were much easier to modify. With Tony having specially loaded over a dozen trucks with building materials from the dock, they managed to build several simple houses in the town in just one day.

These houses were simple, not much different from prefabricated houses, but they were habitable and provided shelter from the elements.

In addition, the shipping containers from the dozens of semi-trucks they drove back could also be used as houses, simply by cutting out a few windows!

Generators and fuel were also transported, and since Henry Town already had a gas station, restoring electricity wasn't a problem.

"Boss! What do we do?"

After the last trip, Grey Bear asked Li Chenzhou, who was also contemplating the question.

He naturally wanted to return to the underground base. He could start transferring people from there tomorrow morning. But with so many survivors in the town now, what would happen if he left and the zombie horde appeared at night?

Henry Town had no defenses. Even agile enhanced zombies could easily crash through those wooden houses!

And there were no walls or anything. Even if they wanted to use trucks as walls, the dozens of semi-trucks wouldn't be enough to enclose the entire town!

"Okay, you and Mike stay here. I'll go back with Lucas!"

After thinking for a while, Li Chenzhou said, "Arrange for ten people, all with signal guns. If anything happens here, fire them all together, and I'll come over immediately!"

Lucas was the captain of a cargo ship. Because he frequently shipped goods to Da Xia (China), he could speak Mandarin and act as Li Chenzhou's translator.

"Alright! Let's do that!"

Grey Bear nodded, and Li Chenzhou didn't leave immediately. Instead, he found Tony.

Tony was very excited because they had finally left that damn dock and could stand on solid ground. So, even though it was getting dark, he wasn't letting anyone rest. He seemed prepared to work through the night.

Right now, Tony and the others were mainly building houses because people from the underground base would be arriving here tomorrow. There definitely wouldn't be enough houses, so the more the better! Those one-story wooden houses could be built by the hundreds overnight if they had enough materials.

"Tony! Let everyone rest for a while! Rome wasn't built in a day. Besides, we don't even know how many people James and the others have!"

Li Chenzhou pulled Tony aside and said, "Wait until tomorrow. After I bring them over, you can all discuss it together, make a good plan for this place, and then build the houses. Also, if you're planning to work at night, I'm worried that the zombies will be attracted by the lights.

"Moreover, Grey Bear and I agreed to use signal guns as a means of communication. If you have lights on here, it might make it hard for me to see the light from the signal flares!"

"This..."

Hearing that the lights might attract zombies, Tony hesitated. Then, he suddenly realized something, glared at Grey Bear, and asked, "What did Li mean about using signal guns for communication?"

"He's going back to the underground base soon to discuss the transfer tomorrow with James and the others!"

This time, Grey Bear answered directly without Li Chenzhou explaining. "Because we're worried about encountering a zombie horde here, Mike and I will stay here! Oh! Right, speaking of Mike, this guy is only Level 2. If we really encounter a zombie horde, he might not be of much use, so we'll give him another evolution potion!"

This idea was suggested by Li Chenzhou. Mike had already decided to follow Li Chenzhou, so Li Chenzhou didn't mind giving him another evolution potion.

Especially now, the survivors from the port hadn't seen the effects of the evolution potion yet. Using it on him here would be perfect and could also serve as an advertisement for himself – not to sell potions, of course, but to attract more people to follow them.

"Evolution potion?"

This was the second time Tony had heard the name "evolution potion," and he also knew that Mike had previously used an evolution potion, which was how he had advanced to Level 2!

Now, just after becoming a Level 2 Awakened, he was about to get another one, which meant he would become a Level 3 Awakened?

As a Level 1 Enhanced, Tony couldn't help but look enviously at Mike, who also had a look of surprise on his face. Li Chenzhou and Grey Bear hadn't mentioned this to him when they discussed it earlier.

"Bear! Are you really going to give me another evolution potion?"

Mike asked, pointing at his nose.

"Of course! Isn't it because we're afraid you'll hold us back? We're going to be facing zombie hordes made up of enhanced zombies!"

Grey Bear shrugged – this guy had picked up that habit after coming here!

"Boss! Give it to him?"

After Grey Bear finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Chenzhou. Li Chenzhou didn't waste any words and directly tossed an evolution potion to Mike.

Seeing Li Chenzhou throw the evolution potion over like that, Mike was almost scared to death. He frantically caught it and, after discovering that it wasn't damaged, patted his chest with lingering fear, muttering, "God bless."

At this time, the surrounding survivors heard that Mike was going to use the evolution potion again and all gathered around. Those further away, seeing this situation, also gathered out of curiosity, and before Mike could even inject the potion, everyone had completely surrounded him...
