Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 189 Skill Neutralization Experiment

Chapter 168 Prior Professions

Since they had an idea, the group didn't discuss it further. Instead, they continued eating and drinking, chatting about things before the apocalypse. Everyone gave a rough introduction to their jobs or professions before the world ended.

This introduction made everyone realize the truth of the saying: "We come from all corners of the land." Although they weren't from all corners of the land, they came from various professions.

Duan Lei and Duan Xue were self-explanatory. Duan Xue ran a small shop to support herself and Duan Lei, while Duan Lei, due to his leg disability, could only stay at home as a shut-in.

Tian Ya was an orphan who had never attended school, only studying at the orphanage. After leaving the orphanage, he started doing odd jobs, doing anything to earn money, from moving bricks to delivering packages, even high-altitude work.

Grey Bear was a special forces operative, Fatty was a small business owner, and the two little ones, Xiao Ya and Xiao Yu'er, obviously didn't have any professions.

After everyone had introduced themselves, all eyes turned to Li Chenzhou. He was the only one who hadn't introduced himself yet. Even Duan Lei and Duan Xue, who had known him the longest, didn't know what Li Chenzhou did before.

"I was a student! When the apocalypse came, I was about to graduate. To celebrate, I even made plans with my girlfriend to have a big meal!"

Li Chenzhou said with a faint smile:

"Then, like the beginning of those third-rate apocalyptic novels, my girlfriend betrayed me and jumped into the arms of a rich second generation. I was also beaten by the rich second generation's lackeys. Hu Zi rushed over to save me, and we went to Xiao Lei's shop together, and then the apocalypse happened!"

"Then you..."

Hearing this, Duan Xue subconsciously wanted to ask Li Chenzhou why he knew so much, but she immediately realized it wasn't right and quickly swallowed the rest of her words.

The others also looked at each other, because everyone present, except for Xiao Ya and Xiao Yu'er, were Li Chenzhou's followers, and they had all heard that strange voice.

If Li Chenzhou's identity was as simple as he said, how could he have such magical abilities?

Moreover, Li Chenzhou's pistol, which he could take out and put away like a magic trick, and the combat uniforms and evolution potions that suddenly appeared in his hands, were all unexplainable.

However, everyone just looked at each other, and no one actually voiced their doubts. Everyone has their own secrets, and since Li Chenzhou didn't want to talk about it, asking wouldn't do any good.

Li Chenzhou didn't intend to explain either. In the beginning, he didn't hide anything from Duan Lei and Duan Xue and directly told Zhang Hu some things about the apocalypse.

At that time, he hadn't planned to take these two with him, thinking they were just passersby, and he might never see them again, so there was no need to hide anything.

But after accepting Duan Lei as a follower, some things became difficult to explain, especially that voice, so Li Chenzhou simply didn't explain. Later, as the number of followers increased, Li Chenzhou simply let go.

Anyway, he could see the loyalty of his followers, and he could instantly take out anything he needed to exchange for in the future. Although he could find a secluded place to take it out and then come back and make an excuse to cover it up.

However, a lie is a lie after all. One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, and eventually it will be exposed, so Li Chenzhou simply didn't care. Think what you want, anyway, the apocalypse has already arrived, zombies have already appeared, what else can't you accept?

As time passed, everyone finally had their fill. During this time, many survivors came to toast Li Chenzhou and thank him for saving them. Some of them even expressed their desire to follow Li Chenzhou.

They were all rejected, of course, but Li Chenzhou didn't bother to remember their faces and tell Wang Yuanqiang about their intentions. People are selfish and will go to stronger people for their own future. It's like company employees jumping ship during prosperous times. The survivors in the base will also choose the base they prefer or the person they want to follow more. No one can blame them for anything.

"Alright! Let's go back first! We still need to test whether Xiao Ya's ability works on Xiao Xue's skill!"

Seeing that everyone had almost stopped eating and drinking, Li Chenzhou stood up and said. Then, the group said goodbye to Wang Yuanqiang and the others and returned to their small building first!

"Alright, just in this yard! If we go inside, if Xiao Ya loses control and Xiao Xue transforms, this building will be demolished directly!"

After entering the courtyard, Li Chenzhou stopped and said.

The others had no objections. So, Xiao Ya came in front of Duan Xue, while Fatty nervously watched Duan Xue from the side, constantly muttering:

"Big sister, please be gentle later, don't really beat her to death!"

Fatty had that bizarre "Come here!" skill, so he was naturally assigned to protect Xiao Ya. If it failed, he would be the one to draw away Xiao Xue's aggro, and then Tian Ya would carry Fatty away, leading Duan Xue to the mountains.

Fatty was very heavy, but after becoming an evolver, Tian Ya's strength was also not small, at least he had no problem picking up Fatty. The most important thing was his speed. Once the skill was activated, it increased by two hundred percent!

This was an increase, not an increase to, which meant it was three hundred percent in total. That was three times his normal speed. The agile Tian Ya was already faster than ordinary people. With a threefold increase, even if Duan Xue transformed, she shouldn't be able to catch up.

And Fatty's "Come here!" skill had a description that said "until death," which meant that once Duan Xue was attracted by this skill, she would definitely chase Fatty. Tian Ya's skill lasted for one minute, which was the same as Duan Xue's skill, so he should be able to last through it.

Even if it didn't work, there was Fatty's own "Immovable as a Mountain" skill at the end. Anyway, there wouldn't be any major problems. At most, it would just be a waste of a few skills!

"Sister! Let's start!"

Compared to the somewhat timid Fatty, Xiao Ya was very calm, even a little expectant. Children are also competitive. In the team, Xiao Ya had always been treated as Xiao Yu'er's nanny. Now that she could use her skills to help Duan Xue, she certainly hoped she could succeed.

"Okay! Let's start!"

Duan Xue looked at Li Chenzhou, then at Duan Lei, and finally nodded at Xiao Ya. Then, she suddenly activated her skill—Slaughter Time!

Slaughter Time: Release the killing intent in your heart, enter a berserk and bloodthirsty state, current strength doubles, lasts for one minute, cooldown for one hour...
