Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 232 No Choice

He started saving people because of Duan Lei's suggestion. He had been running around for so many days, establishing several bases, and rescuing thousands of survivors. If all of this was arranged by that mysterious mastermind, then…

In addition, Li Chenzhou also thought that although his evolution potion was much more effective than the crystal cores, when compared carefully, it was actually the same in essence. Both were improving human attributes, granting skills, and awakening talents.

So, could it be that the creator of the Killing System has some connection with the creators of this apocalypse—the Devourers?

Moreover, he is now using the Killing System to improve his strength. In the future, he will have to use this strength to fight against the Devourers. At that time, will his strength be weakened because of its common origin?

For a time, Li Chenzhou felt his mind was in chaos. Countless speculations came one after another, almost bursting his brain!

"Haha! I've chosen, and then... huh?"

At this moment, Gray Bear rushed out of a bedroom, looking very excited, but saw the two people in the living room in silence, and both Duan Lei and Li Chenzhou looked quite serious, even a little ugly.

"What's wrong with you two? Still thinking about future enemies?"

Gray Bear immediately guessed what the two were thinking, so he came between the two and asked.

"Yeah!"

Duan Lei nodded, and Li Chenzhou just glanced at Gray Bear.

"You smart people just have too many ideas. Sometimes it's admirable, but sometimes... you also like to get stuck in a rut!"

Gray Bear shook his head, then sat down on the sofa with a thud, leaned back, looked at the ceiling, and said:

"You always like to plan everything, like ancient military strategists, no matter what enemy you face, you must first think through all the details before deciding how to act!

In this way, your chances of winning are greatly increased, and you can even win every battle, but your biggest weakness is that once you encounter an unbeatable enemy and can't think of a feasible method, you will get into a dead end.

Because in your opinion, if you haven't thought of a method, you can't make a plan. Without a plan, you won't do anything!"

"When I was in the recruit company, I once asked my company commander a question: We, as new recruits, will feel fear and fear on the battlefield. What can we do to suppress it?"

"The company commander didn't answer directly, but asked me: If you are on the battlefield, and you are the only one left on the position, and you are surrounded by thousands of enemies charging at you, what choice would you make?"

"I said I didn't know!"

"The company commander said: It's actually very simple. You just need to go through all the endings in your mind, and then choose the one you can accept, and then you will know what to do."

"For example, in the case just now, you are surrounded by enemies, then you definitely only have three endings. One is to fight them, then you will definitely die. The second is to surrender and then betray. The enemy will let you go, and you can live, but from then on you will become a traitor. The third is that you surrender, the enemy doesn't accept it, and then still kills you!"

"After speaking, the company commander asked me, which one do you think you can accept?"

"I thought about it, and surrendering and betraying is definitely not an option. Although I can live, I will be scolded by everyone and involve my family, making them unable to hold their heads up! Especially if I surrender, the enemy may not accept it, and I will still die in the end, and get a reputation for being a spineless person."

"Thinking about it this way, I only have one choice in front of me: fight the enemy. So, what to do next, I naturally know!"

After speaking, Gray Bear suddenly straightened up and looked at Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei:

"Let's just assume that the enemy you mentioned is real. Then, after encountering them, how many choices do we have? And how many can we accept? Figuring this out is definitely not difficult for you. Then, we know what to do! Right?"

Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei looked at each other, and then Li Chenzhou suddenly felt enlightened. He said to Duan Lei:

"We don't have to choose!"

"That's right! Because the person raising the pigs will not accept the pigs' surrender. All he wants is the corpses!"

Duan Lei continued.

"So, if we want to live, we must kill them when they want to slaughter us!"

Li Chenzhou said.

"If pigs want to kill people, they must make themselves stronger, even turn into wild boars! And then..."

A fierce smile appeared on Duan Lei's face.

"That's right! Eat when you should, drink when you should, and eat more, drink better, and raise ourselves into wild boars!"

Li Chenzhou also smiled, then got up and looked at the armored vehicle outside the window:

"Then, let's start with this rat swarm!!!"

After the conversation just now, Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei had determined what to do. Even if the Killing System was to "force-ripen" humans, they would continue to use it and kill even more frantically to make themselves stronger.

Because what they were facing was different from what Gray Bear said before. Soldiers can choose to surrender to the enemy, but food does not have this qualification, so they only have拼命(pinyin: pīn mìng; to risk one's life). Since they have to拼命, how can they do it without strength?

"Hahahaha! That's right!"

Even Gray Bear understood the conversation between the two. After all, Li Chenzhou had told the story of the pig farmer before, so he couldn't help laughing:

"Who cares what the enemy is, no matter how strong they are? At most, it's just death. Just fight! At least we've tried, so we won't regret it even if we fail!"

Hearing Gray Bear's voice, Fatty and the others also ran out, looking at them strangely.

"It's nothing! I'm just thinking that we may have to speed up the progress in the future!"

Li Chenzhou looked at them, and the expression on his face had become confident again, and the trace of hesitation before had disappeared.

"Speed up the progress! That means..."

As soon as Fatty heard this, he quickly said, but before he could finish his words, Number One's voice suddenly sounded:

"The vehicle ahead has stopped, follow mode is off!"

Hearing this voice, everyone looked out the window at the same time. Sure enough, the armored vehicle had stopped and was parked on the side of the road, and in the center of the road ahead, there was a bus lying across...

Li Chenzhou and the others quickly got out of the car. Seeing them come down, Old Chen in the front armored vehicle dared to open the door, but did not get out of the car. He just pointed to the bus and said:

"We encountered the mutated rats here. That car is the one we abandoned!"

Li Chenzhou and the others walked forward, all guarding the surroundings. Gray Bear even cocked the gun, looking like he might fire at any time.

Fatty and Li Chenzhou were walking side by side at the front, so they were the first to see the situation inside the bus. As soon as he poked his head in and saw the inside of the bus, Fatty's mouth instantly widened, his face full of shock...
