Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 655 Why Do You Even Believe Him?
Just as Luo Hong turned his head to look at the door, Li Chenzhou spoke. Hearing his words, Luo Hong’s body instantly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at Li Chenzhou.
This guy… he’s admitting it himself?
If Li Chenzhou didn't admit it, Luo Hong could tell the truth, and at least the others wouldn't be angry at Li Chenzhou. But if he admitted it himself, that would be the same as attracting all the fire to himself.
Once the truth was revealed later, the people at the base wouldn't blame Luo Hong, because they would think that Luo Hong was also a victim of the deception. This was of course the most beneficial to Luo Hong; he could continue to be their leader. But what about Li Chenzhou?
There were so many people in the base, on the roof and the walls, and in the watchtowers next to the walls, there were also many guards with weapons, including more than a dozen professional snipers. Li Chenzhou definitely wouldn't be able to escape!
“No, don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s me…”
Luo Hong felt anxious. He thought that Li Chenzhou must have learned about the situation at the base and felt that he was about to lose control, so he came back to help him solve this problem. But if that was the case, Li Chenzhou would be in great danger. Luo Hong certainly wouldn't let Li Chenzhou do that, so he shouted loudly and reached for the microphone, wanting to tell the truth!
“Get out of the way! How dare you interrupt when a transmigrator is speaking?”
Li Chenzhou saw Luo Hong’s intention, and his heart warmed. The people they had rescued and trained to become leaders of the base seemed to be pretty good. Putting aside their management skills, at least their character was good, and they weren’t ungrateful. So, he slapped Luo Hong to the side, jokingly scolding him, and then spoke into the microphone again:
“I don’t know what promises this guy Luo Hong made to everyone, but in three days, I will fulfill his promise. And, at that time, I will also completely transform Qing City into a city for us humans. And our new base will be built in the central stadium of the city!”
“What? Reclaim Qing City? Who can deal with the armory in the stadium?”
“Yeah, that guy is too terrifying. We don’t even dare to get close. I heard that a squad from the Honeycomb Base, because they wanted to scout the armory, was wiped out by the armory’s weapons six kilometers away. No one escaped!”
“Actually, I think it’s pretty good here now. The armory won’t leave the stadium anyway. That’s his lair. Can’t we just live and let live?”
“Yeah! I think so too. This is the apocalypse. It’s pretty good to have a safe base where you can sleep with your eyes closed. What more do you want?”
“That’s right, especially since the location of our base is pretty good. If we move to the stadium, there won’t even be a water source! The city is not as good as the outside now, especially after some time, when all the resources in the city are cleared out, who will go to the city?”
“Our leader is a transmigrator. Maybe he has his own ideas! Besides, if the leader insists on moving the base over there, won’t you follow?”
“This… Of course we have to follow, right? We’ve been waiting for so long, isn’t it just to follow him?”
“Then what are you talking about? Since the leader said he’s going to move the base to the central stadium, there must be a reason. And, whether it’s the armory or the water source problem, the leader will definitely be able to solve it. What are you worrying about?”
“…Okay! I won’t say anything!”
“…”
Li Chenzhou’s words immediately caused a lot of discussion among the survivors. After all, the base was near Qing City, so no one didn’t know about the Devourer in the central stadium.
Of course, they didn’t know it was a Devourer, because that guy had quite a few weapons, so the survivors in Qing City called him the Armory!
Around Qing City, the name of this Armory was quite well-known. Perhaps because he had been attacked by Li Chenzhou and his group, the Devourer now didn’t allow any creatures to get close to his area. Even from a great distance, as long as he found them, he would definitely kill them before stopping.
Therefore, many small teams that went in to collect resources died tragically under the guns of that Devourer. Now, no survivors dared to approach the central area of the city. A ten-kilometer radius centered on the central stadium had become a forbidden zone for humans!
And now, Li Chenzhou said that he wanted to use that place as a base. The survivors of the Zhan Bei Ku base were naturally a little incredulous. However, this base was different from Wu Village. If Li Chenzhou had directly told them to move to the central stadium in Wu Village, it was estimated that many people would have objected.
After all, Wu Village had been built so well, and they were already used to it. Especially since it was their own home that they had built with their own hands, who would be willing to leave and live in the city center?
Before the apocalypse, the city center was a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, but now… even if you paid them, there might not be anyone willing to go!!!
But here at Luo Hong’s, because Luo Hong had been using Li Chenzhou’s name to give everyone empty promises and pump them up, although Li Chenzhou hadn’t appeared, his prestige in the base was quite high. Therefore, after he said those words, no one jumped out to object.
Even those who felt it was inappropriate didn’t dare to speak out, for fear of offending this transmigrator – transmigrators were all protagonists, with cheats. They would do whatever he said. Anyway, following the protagonist definitely wouldn’t be bad! That’s how it was written in the novels!
At this time, Luo Hong, who had been praising Li Chenzhou all along, was a little confused.
Because he knew that what he said was fake. Li Chenzhou wasn’t a transmigrator. Although his strength was indeed not bad, if he really led the people of the base to the central stadium, wouldn’t there be heavy casualties?
Although Luo Hong was afraid that the lie would be exposed, he couldn’t watch Li Chenzhou lead those people to their deaths. But the problem was, he couldn’t refute Li Chenzhou’s words, because the identity of the transmigrator was originally given to Li Chenzhou by him.
“I say, is this a delaying tactic?”
Taking advantage of the crowd’s discussion, Luo Hong quickly asked in a low voice.
“Of course not. I really want to do this. And, I’ve already told Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang from the Wu Village base. They will notify all the bases they know and ask them to come and watch together in three days!”
Li Chenzhou shook his head and said:
“Lao Luo, don’t worry. After three days, you’ll know what’s going on. Since I’m a transmigrator, you should have confidence in me, right?”
“…”
Luo Hong wanted to cry but had no tears. Was I so talented at lying? Even the transmigrator himself that I made up was fooled? He really believed he was a transmigrator? I’m so…
