Chapter 155 The Choice of Lu Chi

Li Tianran had fought with the Beast Kings many times, so he knew how high their intelligence was. These Beast Kings might not be as civilized as humans, but in terms of evolution, the Beast Kings, who could enhance their power through the cruel and self-consuming method of "devotion," how could their combat power be inferior to the EU's group of evolutionaries who had not experienced brutal warfare?

Li Tianran felt something was wrong the first time the EU evolutionaries displayed that kind of combat power.

Now, he finally knew where this strange feeling came from.

"If this trend continues, humans will keep winning short-term, small victories... but eventually they will suffer a great loss." Li Tianran stroked his chin, pondering silently.

There are always some things in the world that are very disheartening.

Just like Li Tianran at this moment, he clearly knew that all of this might be the strategy of the Beast Kings, but he had no ability to change the pace of humanity.

One day, humans will know how fragile and ridiculous those sharp alloy steel knives, high-temperature energy bullets, and combat suits with amazing protective power, created by abandoning traditional weapon supplies, are in front of those intelligent and god-descended Beast Kings.

That day will not be far away.

Li Tianran now had a strong sense of crisis. At this moment, he truly realized that perhaps humanity would really experience a tragic defeat in the future, leading to the loss of large areas of territory and compatriots. And when that time comes, where should he go?

"Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself! Since I can't change the direction of human development, I have to create a territory as solid as a fortress before that day comes, so that neither sea beasts nor enemies can set foot on my land." Li Tianran recognized the reality. Disaster was inevitable, and instead of racking his brains to think about some unrealistic things, it was better to prepare for the disaster in a down-to-earth manner.

"What's your situation now? Are those members of the EU evolutionary squad still chasing you?" Li Tianran asked Lu Chi on the satellite phone, "If there is danger, evacuate from there as soon as possible."

At the same time, Lu Chi, hiding in a ruin, glanced at the thermal sensor. There was no thermal reaction within five kilometers of him, and there was no dialogue from the communication equipment he had snatched from the other party, indicating that the EU evolutionary squad might not have discovered that their teammates had been killed.

In fact, only fifteen minutes had passed from the time the two EU evolutionaries left the main force, pursued Lu Chi, were killed, and to the present. At this time, their teammates were probably in a fierce battle with a large number of mutated beasts, and had no time to pay attention to this.

Lu Chi licked his lips and said, "I'm safe now. I found survivors in this city, but the EU evolutionaries are in the location of the shelter, and it might be a little difficult for me to bring all these survivors back."

"Then give up." Li Tianran said very simply.

"That's what I planned to do just now, but after fighting with those two evolutionaries, my thinking has changed." Lu Chi said in a deep voice, "I've been exposed, and I've also killed two EU evolutionaries. Even if I evacuate now, they will soon realize it. I'm not sure if they have already launched a full-scale pursuit against me! I think it will be difficult for me to leave here peacefully!"

"What's more, the survivors in this city meet our requirements very well. Rescuing them in desperation means that ninety percent of them will be absolutely loyal to us!" Lu Chi's voice was very soft, "In the past forty-eight hours, I have walked through six cities, and only found survivors here. It's really unwilling to leave like this."

Lu Chi's activity area avoided those countries where there were still regimes, because although there were many survivors there, it greatly increased the risk of exposure, and it was difficult to find suitable people in a country with a regime, because you might bring in a few spies mixed in with the civilians.

Civilians in countries with regimes were naturally in a much better situation than the survivors in the ruined cities.

Just like a rope, two people fall into a pit at the same time. One pit is two meters deep, and there is nothing but soil in it; the other pit is eight meters deep, and it is full of poisonous snakes, which can be fatal if you are not careful. At this time, the same rope is thrown into the pit, saving two people. Their degree of gratitude to you is also very different.

The former is helping, the latter is saving lives!

The former may give you two hundred yuan as a reward, but if the benefits are right, he will still sell you very quickly.

As for the latter, as long as he is an ordinary person with a non-distorted worldview, he will be grateful to you for the rest of his life, and it is basically impossible for him to betray you!

Of course, it is not absolute, but at least the possibility of betrayal is much lower than the former!

What Li Tianran needs in the future is a diverse evolutionary team, so it is impossible for him to brainwash all these people with intelligent abilities, so how to control "people's hearts" becomes very important.

Considering various reasons, Lu Chi's activity areas are mostly in those cities in countries that have been destroyed and where the regime has collapsed, but such cities have long been ravaged by beast tides or enemy troops, and there are very few survivors. In two full days, Lu Chi found the first batch of survivors in the city at his feet.

If he were to leave now, he would indeed be a little unwilling: "If the level of these evolutionaries is as good as what they just showed, I can kill them all in a short time, and maybe even capture one or two, force them to ask about the EU's current research results or something... a double win!"

"It's a bit dangerous, isn't it?" Li Tianran said softly.

"I want to try." Lu Chi said in a deep voice.

Li Tianran thought for a moment and said, "Pay attention to safety, pay attention to concealing your identity."

After saying these two sentences, Li Tianran hung up the satellite phone.

Lu Chi was not the kind of person who would act tough. If he said he wanted to try, then he must be confident. Li Tianran didn't interfere too much with his thoughts.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chi got up and walked to a corner, where there was a diesel generator pressed under half a wall. He tried to cut open the two thick wires and connect them to the two ends of the alloy steel knife he had snatched from the EU evolutionaries, and then pulled the starter cord hard.

As a sound like a tractor starting rang out, billowing black smoke filled the ruins, and a huge current rushed out instantly. With a crackling sound, the alloy steel knife emitted a burst of brilliant fire, and the blade began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pa!

With a bang, the cut wire finally bounced off one end of the steel knife. Lu Chi turned off the generator switch and picked up the steel knife, which was scalding hot to the touch.

Lu Chi did this because he was afraid that the steel knife was equipped with a positioning device, so he used a huge current to surge through it. In this way, the signal transmitter of any positioning device would also malfunction.

He took out another steel knife and repeated the process just now, then threw away all the other communication devices, and his figure disappeared at the end of the ruins.
