Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 114 If I'd Known, I Would Have Said It Directly
I'm delivering packages in the apocalypse.
Valuable supplies, such as food, daily necessities, clothes, etc., were moved onto the delivery trucks.
The express depot also had dozens of long delivery trucks, each better than the trucks Chen Luo had scavenged from the farmer's market.
Items like TVs and refrigerators were worthless and were simply tossed aside.
This was a transit point for the packages of tens of millions of people, and the resources it contained were astonishing, making Zhao Hai overjoyed.
Zhao Hai said, "It's a pity the apocalypse didn't happen on Singles' Day, otherwise the amount of supplies would have been several times greater."
Chen Luo estimated that it would take more than an hour to finish just one express depot, and they would probably have to work through the night to finish several depots.
Liu Haoyu arrived.
Liu Haoyu was truly daring to try and deceive them alone, just to vent his anger and obtain the resources from this express depot.
Chen Guang, who was in charge of guarding the outside, brought Liu Haoyu in.
Chen Guang said, "Brother, this handsome guy said he knows a warehouse full of snacks and wants to take us there. I think we can trust him."
Chen Luo turned around. Chen Guang's brain must be broken today, trusting a stranger he'd just met?
Liu Haoyu smiled, hypnosis was indeed unfailing and very smooth.
At the same time, he was secretly pleased. This group really had a leader, and not the kind with a dozen or so, which greatly increased the chances of success.
Tch, this person couldn't even get past Mifan.
As soon as Liu Haoyu arrived, Mifan said, "This person has bad intentions."
It was laughable that Liu Haoyu, seeing Mifan staring at him, even put on a harmless smile.
Zhao Hai was interested: "Where is it?"
Liu Haoyu's eyes lit up as he said, "It's nearby, but there are dozens of zombies inside. I can't get it alone. After you brothers get it, give me a little, just enough for me to eat."
"It seems another group of people is also eyeing it. You two brothers should act quickly."
Zhao Hai nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, we'll go right away. Don't worry, we'll definitely give you one and a half truckloads."
Chen Luo watched expressionlessly. No wonder Zhao Hai and Chen Guang's IQs had suddenly plummeted. It turned out to be mental hypnosis.
It was quite a powerful ability. Against those of the same level, it could only make others believe him. Against lower levels, long-term hypnosis could turn them into loyal fanatics.
You're at most level three, trying to hypnotize a level five like me?
Wasn't this a joke?
The effect of hypnosis was also related to the other party's will. Those with very strong wills could be immune to mental hypnosis, even if their level was lower than the hypnotist's.
Liu Haoyu continued to smile and said, "I'm a bit of a coward, so I'll wait for you nearby. I'll come find you after you succeed."
Chen Luo thought to himself, this Liu Haoyu clearly wanted to lure them to that warehouse, but what was his purpose?
Was there another group of people lying in ambush there?
That was ridiculous. What kind of force could ambush hundreds of people?
Chen Luo abruptly slapped Liu Haoyu in the face, the powerful force sending Liu Haoyu flying several meters.
After landing, Liu Haoyu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with a tooth.
Chen Luo then slapped Zhao Hai and Chen Guang on the head twice each, not too hard, just enough to wake them up.
External stimuli could wake people up from this kind of shallow hypnosis.
Liu Haoyu was dumbfounded. Why did you hit me?
Did this person have violent tendencies?
Chen Luo walked up to Liu Haoyu, stepped on him, and said indifferently, "Speak, why did you want to lure us to that warehouse? What was the purpose of hypnotizing us?"
Liu Haoyu was horrified. This person knew he was hypnotizing?
Impossible, no one had ever seen through his hypnosis. He had tried it on hundreds of people, and it had never failed.
The fact that it had never failed gave Liu Haoyu a lot of confidence, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to come here.
Not only was this person unaffected by the hypnosis, but he also knew he was hypnotizing?
Liu Haoyu's mouth was bloody, his speech was slurred, and he said weakly, "I don't know what you're talking about. I really had good intentions."
Chen Luo sneered and pressed his foot hard on Liu Haoyu's arm.
Liu Haoyu let out a terrible scream.
Chen Luo said, "I'll give you one last chance, speak properly."
Tears streamed down Liu Haoyu's face as he said, "I'll talk, I'll talk."
"We cleared the zombies from this express depot. I wasn't willing to let you take it so easily, so I wanted to lure you to a powerful zombie."
A powerful zombie? Probably a mutated one.
Chen Luo's eyes lit up instead. Mutated creatures were both loved and hated.
Loved because their crystals were good, hated because, once their level was too high, they would be a disaster.
Chen Luo was a little eager to encounter a mutated creature, but also scared to death.
Chen Luo asked, "When did you encounter that zombie? Tell me its information."
Liu Haoyu sobbed, "I encountered it five days ago. That zombie has a pair of sharp, protruding claws. When it grabs someone, it's like grabbing tofu, it shatters with one grab."
"I call it Iron Claw."
Five days ago? If this Iron Claw was still alive, then its level wouldn't be high. If its level was too high, its lifespan would be short, and it would have died long ago.
Chen Luo calculated that if it hadn't died yet, then its level was between four, five, or six.
He could totally deal with it.
Chen Luo believed that Liu Haoyu wasn't lying, because the current survivors had no idea that mutated creatures had short lifespans. Even if he was lying, he wouldn't lie about the timing.
Most importantly, Chen Luo looked at Mifan.
Mifan was in Mili's arms. Seeing Chen Luo looking at it, it gave Chen Luo a "flirtatious wink".
Then it was fine, indicating that this trip was not dangerous.
He could get another crystal of a not-low level, Chen Luo was happy at the same time, and also a little disappointed, the zombie's level was not high.
He also wanted to get a level seven, eight, or nine crystal.
That's not right, if Iron Claw was already dead, it was very likely a level seven zombie.
Chen Luo asked Mili to release a healing spell on Liu Haoyu so that he could stand up.
Liu Haoyu looked at Mili with trepidation. He thought it was magical enough that he could hypnotize, but he didn't expect there to be healing as well.
Chen Luo snorted coldly and said, "Lead the way, let's go find that zombie."
Liu Haoyu was dumbfounded again, his mind full of question marks.
Wait, I already said that the zombies there are very powerful, and you still want me to lead the way?
Are you tired of living?
What did I come here to do? It was to lure you there, but you saw through my hypnosis, and you still want me to lead the way?
Damn it, I should have just said it directly, but it turned into this.
