Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 669 What if it doesn't fit anymore?
"Three days later?"
Looking at Li Chenzhou's confident smile, Hongli also smiled. In any case, Li Chenzhou had saved him again. And, no matter what the future held, Hongli believed it couldn't be worse than his experience in the water prison.
So, what was there to fear now? He could basically say he had already died once, so he might as well go all out. Anyway, Li Chenzhou had saved his life, so he could just give it back to him if necessary.
Thus, Hongli also said with a smile:
"Okay! Then I'll wait and see in three days, Boss Li. I must remind you, you have to give me the best base!"
"Don't worry, I'll give you a fully equipped one!"
Li Chenzhou waved his hand generously.
"Fully equipped?"
Hongli was stunned. He had never seen a war fortress, so he didn't know what "fully equipped" meant. He just subconsciously looked around and twitched his lips, saying:
"Boss Li, you're not saying the base you're talking about is a vehicle like this, are you?"
"Hahahaha! Almost, but much bigger."
Li Chenzhou laughed.
Hongli:
"..."
"Alright, don't think about your base now. You'll definitely have one, you can't run away from that. Let's take a look at those people first!"
Li Chenzhou switched the window display back to the outside of the vehicle, pointing as he spoke.
After all, Hongli had been a leader in this base, and he was a pretty decent person. So, after he spoke, several hundred people actually came out of the base one after another, standing beside the vehicle!
When Li Chenzhou was waiting here before, only twenty or thirty people had come. Now, with several hundred more joining, it actually looked quite crowded, a rather spectacular scene.
However, this made Li Chenzhou scratch his head a bit. If it were just a few dozen people, the internal space of the war chariot would be enough. But now there were several hundred people. If he wanted to fit them all into the chariot, he would have to expand the chariot's space.
But the problem was, expanding the internal space of the chariot also cost a lot, and this vehicle wouldn't be used for long anyway. It would definitely be left in Qing City for Hongli and the others to use in the future. So, too much space would be useless, a complete waste!
At this time, Hongli had already run outside and greeted the surrounding survivors. And sure enough, those survivors were extremely happy to see that Hongli was really here!
Moreover, when Hongli appeared, several hundred more people ran out of the base. All in all, there were about thirteen or fourteen hundred people willing to go with Li Chenzhou and his group.
Seeing that the number of survivors had exceeded one thousand, Li Chenzhou completely stopped considering expanding the chariot’s internal space. The larger the chariot's space was expanded, the more Sha Lu (slaughter) points were consumed, and the costs increased geometrically.
So, expanding a chariot to easily accommodate more than a thousand people would be a huge expense!
"I didn't expect you to have such appeal!"
Li Chenzhou made up his mind, teleported directly outside, and patted Hongli on the shoulder.
When they saw Li Chenzhou appear, the surrounding survivors instinctively retreated slightly, their gazes towards Li Chenzhou tinged with fear.
"Sigh! Forget it, I didn't want to explain in the first place. Like I said before, I don't care what you think. You could say that I don't care about this broken base at all, including the people and supplies inside!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head and said:
"However, since you trust Hongli, then I'll give you a reminder. You can think about it carefully. Wang Zifeng said that I use living people and zombies to research genetic potions, and that the potions I used to make Hongli and Jin Yuan into evolvers were researched in my laboratory, right?
Then have you ever thought about when I met you, and when I gave Hongli and Jin Yuan the evolution potions? At that time, the apocalypse had only started a few days ago.
If we follow Wang Zifeng's line of thinking, then after the apocalypse descended, I immediately thought of using zombie and human genes to research evolution potions, and immediately established a laboratory, and within four or five days, I researched an evolution potion that could turn ordinary people into ability users.
Then, I had to rush into the city to rescue you, find Hongli and Jin Yuan, help you build a base, and then give them the evolution potions to use. Am I crazy?
If I really wanted to experiment on people, wouldn't it be easier for me to just grab people? At that time, I would have directly brought you to my laboratory, then locked you up. With our strength at the time, could you have resisted?
Remember in the future, when you hear other people's words, use your own brains. Don't just believe whatever someone says. If I wanted to catch you, with my war chariot, who could escape? Are your bodies stronger than that building just now? A bunch of idiots! More brainless than zombies!"
The more Li Chenzhou spoke, the angrier he became, and in the end, he simply started cursing.
Those survivors, who were being scolded by Li Chenzhou, didn't refute at all. Because if they thought about it carefully, that was the way it was. It might be plausible if someone started researching the combination of zombie genes and human genes half a year or a year after the apocalypse started.
But the apocalypse had just begun, and everyone was busy escaping. Who would build a laboratory at this time to research genes?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Hongli also breathed a sigh of relief. He was quite familiar with Li Chenzhou's personality.
If someone jumped out at this time and stubbornly refused to admit they were wrong, Li Chenzhou might just leave directly, without taking anyone! So, he quickly said:
"Boss Li, everyone is just afraid, so they instinctively want to stay away from danger. They simply can't calm down and distinguish things. Don't mind it, be generous!"
"Alright! I'm just feeling annoyed!"
Li Chenzhou cursed for a while, then stopped caring. He looked at Hongli and smiled:
"Consider yourself lucky. Originally, I was going to save some energy and planned to summon the base three days later. But now there are so many people, the vehicle can't fit them, so I can only... summon the base ahead of schedule!
However, I still have to go to other bases and can't take this with me. So, in these three days, you have to hide the fortress and familiarize yourself with it. After three days, you can bring it out again."
"Summon? Fortress?"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Hongli was dumbfounded.
Wasn't he talking about a base? How did it become a fortress again? And summoned out of thin air?
Looking at the dumbfounded Hongli, Li Chenzhou didn't explain. He directly opened the Sha Lu (slaughter) shop and exchanged for a war fortress. And so, in an instant, everyone around the chariot was enveloped in a huge shadow...
