Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 351 Dying of Rheumatism is a Good Thing?
Seeing Li Chenzhou walk in, the general smiled and extended his hand, saying something in a foreign language. The Gray Bear quickly began to translate.
"Hello! My name is Li Chenzhou, from Da Xia!"
Li Chenzhou also shook his hand. If there were no accidents, this general should be the leader of this underground base, not only because of his rank, but also because Li Chenzhou could feel that this guy was a level-two ability user. As for whether he was an Enhancer, an Evolver, or even an Awakened, Li Chenzhou didn't know.
He could only sense the energy fluctuations in the other person's body. In this world, all ability users could sense each other to a certain extent, and could roughly know the other person's level. However, whether the other person had skills or talents could only be known when they used them.
Of course, this kind of perception required your level to be higher than the other person's. If you were a level-one weakling and encountered a level-three, you would have no way of knowing the other person's level.
Moreover, one thing here surprised Li Chenzhou, because from the time he met Mike and the others until now, Li Chenzhou had already encountered more than twenty level-one ability users.
Mike himself was a level-one ability user, and there were four other level-one ability users in Mike's team. After entering here, Li Chenzhou sensed more than a dozen ability users around him. Although they were all level-one, it was a bit terrifying to have twenty-seven or eight ability users suddenly appear in this kind of place, and even one level-two.
On the way back just now, Li Chenzhou had already confirmed with Gray Bear that the time here was the same as theirs. Gray Bear had asked Mike, so their passage through this spatial channel was just a random spatial channel for teleportation, and the timeline was not affected!
This made Li Chenzhou feel a little more at ease. At least he was still on the original planet, and the timeline was stable, so he could always find a way to go back.
Afterwards, with Gray Bear's translation, the general invited Li Chenzhou into the room, seemingly intending to have a good chat with Li Chenzhou!
After entering the room, Li Chenzhou was a little shocked. The room didn't look very big from the outside, probably only a little over a hundred square meters, but after coming in, he realized that the space inside the room was actually four or five hundred square meters!
Of course, this wasn't a space like the Darkblood War Chariot that had spatial attributes. It was just that the house was built underground, and it didn't look big from the outside, but the interior was dug very far inward, which made the inside seem much larger than the outside.
"This place was originally used to store sewer pipes and some maintenance equipment. After we occupied it, we cleared out all the things inside and used it as a temporary base!"
Without Li Chenzhou asking, the general took the initiative to explain. Afterwards, he also introduced the place.
Such a large space was not used for people to live in. Apart from some corners where food and other supplies were piled up, the other places were actually used for planting.
"These are some fungi that we are cultivating. Although there is still a lot of food above, and we can take advantage of the night to get it back, these will always be eaten up!"
The general explained:
"So, we plan to try to cultivate fungi underground. In this environment, only fungi can still grow, and other crops simply won't work! In addition, over there, we dug out underground water, so the water source problem can be considered solved!"
"God! Even if we hadn't dug out that puddle, it would still be terribly humid here, and now? Damn it, I feel like mushrooms are about to grow on me. If we stay down here any longer, we'll definitely die of rheumatism!"
Hearing the general's words, Mike, who had followed them in, complained.
"Believe me, Mike! In this world, dying of rheumatism isn't a bad thing. Maybe you should be glad!"
The general replied without changing his expression.
"General James, could it be... can we only survive underground here?"
Li Chenzhou finally couldn't help but ask.
This city could indeed be used as a base because of the accessibility and spaciousness of the sewer pipes, but as Mike said, it was too humid here.
Although it could be said that they could grow mushrooms and that there was no shortage of water sources, which sounded like they could survive, this kind of dark existence was really not suitable for human survival.
Moreover, looking at this place, they were now using emergency lights and the like for lighting. This thing could still be used now, but what about the electricity? There would always be a time when it ran out, right? At that time, in complete darkness, humans would have even less chance of survival!
In short, in Li Chenzhou's opinion, living in the sewers was completely a slow suicide!
"If it were possible above, no one would like to hide underground and live like rats and bugs!"
After hearing Gray Bear's translation, General James shook his head with a wry smile:
"But above, there are all kinds of very strong zombies. We have tried countless times. In the end, we don't even expect to drive them away. We just want to take people away, but every time we fail, and many brothers die because of it!"
"They're all very strong zombies?"
Li Chenzhou was stunned. Were they all enhanced zombies?
"Gray Bear, ask James what kind of strong zombies he's talking about."
Because ordinary zombies actually ran quite fast, at least stronger than ordinary people, Li Chenzhou immediately looked at Gray Bear and said.
Gray Bear also immediately turned to talk to General James, and then looked at Li Chenzhou:
"Boss! He said it's the kind of zombie that has a mysterious crystal core in its head that can make people stronger!"
Now, Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear both understood. What James was talking about was enhanced zombies! No wonder there were so many ability users among them, and they also knew that mutated crystal cores could make people stronger.
"You don't dare to go out during the day because of those enhanced zombies?"
Li Chenzhou asked again.
"That's right!"
General James sighed:
"The daytime is when they are most active. Basically, as long as you make a sound, you will definitely attract those guys. At night, for some reason, they all hide, and at this time, as long as you don't make too much noise, you won't disturb them. Of course, you can't emit too much light either!"
"General James, are you sure that what you're talking about is the city above our heads?"
Li Chenzhou finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, I guarantee it in the name of my grandfather!"
James replied loudly without hesitation, with indignation on his face!
"But... I came to this city today, wandered around on it for a day, and even drove around for a while, and I didn't see any zombies at all. Even at night, I lit a bonfire, and I didn't hear any movement either!"
Li Chenzhou looked at James and said with a serious face...
