"Then someone like you shouldn't be asking to go to the Duoluo World, right?"

Qingluan asked curiously from the side, "It's so dangerous over there, and this place is safer. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay here?"

"If there weren't Devourers, I would definitely stay here. But the problem is, with such powerful enemies, just hiding isn't enough to survive!" Sun Qiang said, "Boss and the others are going to the Duoluo World to protect our world. If they fail, the Devourers will descend upon our world. If even Boss and the others can't defeat the Devourers with the power of the Duoluo World, it'll probably be even more difficult with the power of our world alone!"

"So, I have to go. I won't let anyone decide my life for me. I have to participate in the battle against the Devourers! I'm afraid of death, but if I don't go to the Duoluo World, I can only pray here that Boss and the others will be victorious. Otherwise, if the Devourers descend upon our world, I'll still die! To me, that's like waiting for death. I won't put my life in anyone's hands, not even Boss! So, I'm going to the Duoluo World to fight for a chance to survive. I want to become stronger, I want to be able to control my own life!"

"Hoo!"

After hearing Sun Qiang's words, Gray Bear walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "You've finally figured things out, kid! You're afraid of death, but you definitely won't be an ostrich, burying your head in the sand when danger comes, because you know that's no different from waiting for death!"

"Alright! You're in, then. Let's go together!" Li Chenzhou nodded readily, without even giving much advice.

With someone like Sun Qiang, there's no need to tell him anything. To survive, he'll do everything to the best of his ability! In fact, his survival skills might even be better than Fatty and Tian Ya's. Li Chenzhou simply accepted him as a follower and then let him kill zombies on his own, without helping him at all. But look at him now, he's no worse than Fatty and the others, and in terms of combat experience, he might even be slightly better!

"Okay! That's settled then!" Li Chenzhou looked at everyone and said, "The first ones to go to the Duoluo World will be Gray Bear, Fatty, Tian Ya, Sun Qiang, and Captain Li's team! Once we get there, I'll connect Captain Li with the people there, and then you'll all follow Captain Li's orders! As for this place, for the base, Xiao Xue and Qingluan will each be responsible for managing one, with Xiao Lei taking overall responsibility and Hu Zi assisting! You can handle everything here yourselves! You all know the situation anyway!"

As he spoke, Li Chenzhou first looked at the War Fortress, then at Qingluan, and said, "This War Fortress will be left here to protect the Manor Base. Also, there's a small world inside the fortress that can accommodate a lot of people. Go in and take a look, and get familiar with the fortress! But Qingluan, remember, only Xiao Lei can grant access to the fortress, no one else. Even if someone wants to enter the fortress, they must have Xiao Lei's permission!"

"Understood!" Qingluan nodded immediately!

Although she's also the leader of a base, the Manor Base itself was taken with Li Chenzhou's help. This time, they've been able to hold out until now with Duan Lei's help. If it weren't for Duan Lei, forget about being the Manor Leader, Qingluan would probably be living a life worse than death right now. In the apocalypse, beautiful women without strength often end up in a very miserable state!

So, Qingluan has now put down her identity. After the Lin Qiang incident, Qingluan completely understood the cruelty of the apocalypse, and also realized that she's not really cut out to be a base leader. Naturally, she has no resistance to Li Chenzhou's words. In comparison, Qingluan prefers this life under the protection of Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei. She only needs to manage the base's daily affairs, and if something comes up that she can't handle, she can just pass it on to Duan Lei. The life of a hands-off manager is definitely pretty good.

"Let's go! Let's go into the fortress first!" Li Chenzhou waved his hand at everyone and led the way towards the fortress!

Gray Bear and Duan Lei had been wanting to enter the fortress for a long time. Everyone in the team, including Li Yunshan and his people, were already familiar with the Space War Chariot. Even now, they still find the Space War Chariot quite magical. And this War Fortress, which is obviously several levels higher than the chariot, what will it be like inside? They're really looking forward to it!

Upon entering the fortress, Li Chenzhou first gave Duan Lei the highest authority, letting him oversee the allocation to others. As for Gray Bear and the others, a temporary one would do, since they were going to follow him to the Duoluo World anyway.

Inside the fortress, you could see the differences between everyone. Duan Xue and Qingluan went straight to the small world, which was what they were most concerned about. Gray Bear pulled Fatty and Tian Ya to study the fortress's defense and fire control systems. To them, combat power represented everything. Duan Lei and Li Yunshan and his team were in the central control area, carefully learning about the entire fortress, whether it was the functions of the military area, the small world, or the various levels of authority. Duan Lei looked at everything very carefully.

With Li Chenzhou gone, Duan Lei was the big shot here. Of course he had to understand all the information about the War Fortress. This was their biggest reliance here, just like the Space War Chariot that Li Chenzhou left them before! Although with Duan Lei and the others' strength, they would definitely be able to live well even without the Space War Chariot, it wouldn't be as convenient. Especially after the Manor incident, if they didn't have the chariot at the time, Duan Lei would probably have come to Qingluan directly after receiving Sun Qiang's report, advising her to give up this place, instead of staying here to help Qingluan resist Lin Qiang like he did before!

The Space War Chariot not only has a huge internal space and strong defense, but also carries weapons. Like a tank, sitting inside gives you a considerable sense of security. And now, they've directly upgraded from a shotgun to a cannon, becoming a War Fortress. With this thing, Duan Lei even felt that even if the Devourers really came to their world, he would be able to hold out for a while with the War Fortress.

Seeing that Duan Lei seemed to be immersed in it, Li Chenzhou went over and patted him, saying, "You guys should get to know this castle well first. Also, you can plan the small world directly and let it build automatically. I've left enough Slaughter Points in the fortress! As for the candidates who are qualified to enter the small world, you can decide that yourself!"

"Boss, speaking of candidates, I do have an idea!" Duan Lei said with a smile...
