Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 636 Li Chenzhou Digs a Pit

Chapter 36 What to Choose?
  The sudden transformation of the war chariot immediately caused a burst of exclamations in the crowd. Those in the back couldn't see what was happening, so the commotion wasn't as great!

  "This is a war chariot. Although it looks like an ordinary off-road vehicle, when needed, it's not much worse than a tank. Its firepower even surpasses that of a tank!"

  Li Chenzhou said into the microphone, then pointed his finger at the sky:

  "Please look up!"

  After speaking, Li Chenzhou pointed at the sky, and the war chariot's AI immediately launched a volley of rockets!

  In fact, the war chariot's rockets are considered conventional weapons, using physical warheads. They aren't as powerful as beam cannons, but in this situation, the effect of rockets is definitely better than that of beam cannons.

  Because a beam cannon is just a beam of light shooting straight into the sky, and there's hardly any sound when it's fired. In terms of momentum and spectacle, it's far inferior to rockets.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!"

  A volley of twelve rockets soared into the air with burning contrails. After reaching a certain altitude, they began to streak around like dancing silver snakes, eventually colliding in pairs.

  "Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!"

  In the midst of the huge roar, all the missiles exploded, and the resulting fireballs blotted out the sky, stinging the eyes of the people below. The spectacle seemed even grander than when the apocalypse first descended!

  In the sky, shrouded in flames and thick smoke, fragments of the missiles continued to fall, some at considerable speed. Many fragments even flew towards the crowd below.

  "Watch out!"

  Zhu Haitao was shocked and rushed in front of Li Chenzhou, shouting into the microphone. The missile fragments were flying very fast. If they landed in the crowd, anyone hit would certainly die. In fact, a single fragment could take more than one life.

  Even if Zhu Haitao hadn't issued a warning, the survivors below would have seen the scattered fragments. The problem was that they were all gathered in the square, surrounded by people, and all sitting down. There was no time to escape.

  The only thing they could do now was pray that their luck was good enough and that the fragments wouldn't fly toward them…

  Just then, the war chariot parked to one side suddenly shot out countless beams of light, each as thick as a thumb. Each beam accurately struck the flying fragments.

  The survivors below could see very clearly that the beams seemed to have extremely high temperature. Almost the instant they hit the fragments, they melted and evaporated them, turning them into wisps of smoke, like paper scraps thrown into a raging fire!

  Although there were many fragments flying, like rain, and they were moving very fast, not a single one broke through the barrage of silver-white beams and landed on the heads of the survivors below!

  Soon, the missile fragments were completely cleared, and the beam machine guns on the war chariot stopped firing. Then, all the weapons on the war chariot rotated again, retracted completely, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary off-road vehicle.

  The entire square was silent. Hundreds of thousands of people didn't make a sound. Zhu Haitao also stared blankly at the war chariot, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind:

  "If I could get this car, maybe I could protect my base?"

  But as soon as he turned his head to look at Li Chenzhou, he immediately dismissed the idea!

  It wasn't that he didn't want to snatch Li Chenzhou's war chariot. He had told Li Chenzhou before that he didn't care what he did to ensure the survival of the survivors in the base.

  So, if it were really possible, he certainly wouldn't mind killing Li Chenzhou and seizing the powerful war chariot!

  However, Zhu Haitao's motivation for wanting the war chariot was to protect the others in the base, not out of greed. This was fundamentally different from Lin Qiang.

  Greed can cloud a person's eyes and make them lose their reason. That's why Lin Qiang refused to leave in the first place, until he lost his life there.

  But Zhu Haitao didn't. When the war chariot launched missiles and the weapons on the car that could fire beams of light were firing, Li Chenzhou wasn't even in the car.

  So, he must have the ability to remotely control the car, or there were other people hiding in the car. Either way, it meant he couldn't possibly snatch the war chariot.

  Of course, if he were to get all the hundreds of thousands of people in the square to rush up and grab the car, there would be a chance of success, but that would mean an unknown number of deaths, and Zhu Haitao would certainly not issue such an order!

  Li Chenzhou didn't know what Zhu Haitao was thinking. If Duan Lei had been here, he might have noticed that Zhu Haitao's face turned red for a moment just now.

  "Did you see that? We have several cars like this at our base. So, I can't guarantee anything else, but at least we can guarantee the safety of our base. Moreover, it was originally a resort villa, surrounded by mountains and rivers, lacking nothing! It also has a large area!"

  Li Chenzhou said into the microphone:

  "I'm saying all this, and having the war chariot demonstrate its firepower, to reassure you. Anyone who comes to my place will definitely be quite safe, and those who stay behind don't need to worry about them at all!"

  Having said that, Li Chenzhou stopped. He had already demonstrated his strength, and he had given his promise. Next, he would see if these guys would have any other thoughts, as Li Chenzhou had guessed.

  Li Chenzhou had said very clearly just now that anyone who went to his base would definitely be quite safe, and those who stayed behind wouldn't need to worry about them at all!

  So… since those who leave will be absolutely safe, who would be willing to stay?

  Basically, everyone fears death, because it represents the end of life. So, since leaving can ensure safety, why not strive to leave?

  This was the trap that Li Chenzhou had dug. He wanted to see what choices the people of this base would make, whether they would instantly fall into chaos and rush towards him.

  Moreover, would anyone among them want to snatch his war chariot? After all, he was here alone now. As long as they killed him, the extremely powerful war chariot would belong to them.

  He glanced at the war chariot, confirmed that he was within the protection range of its energy shield, and that he could teleport inside at any time, Li Chenzhou felt relieved and quietly looked at the survivors in front of him, waiting for the first person to speak.

  "Can I ask a question?"

  Just then, a middle-aged man sitting in the front row, a member of Zhu Haitao's leadership team, stood up and asked Li Chenzhou…
