Chapter 1 The Desolation of the Apocalypse

Along the way, Grey Bear and the others truly felt the desolation of the apocalypse. Only their vehicle sped along the highway, with wrecked and abandoned cars, and bloodstains that had turned black, flashing by from time to time.

In the fields of distant villages, wandering figures occasionally appeared. Discarded trash fluttered in the wind. The whole world was silent.

Since he had already handed over control of Dark Blood to Number One for automatic driving, everyone in Li Chenzhou's team sat on the sofas in the living room. Even Li Yunshan and the others in zombie form came out of their rooms.

"Can we… really restore this world?"

Looking at the scenery outside, Grey Bear couldn't help but sigh and ask.

"Definitely! Don't worry!"

Duan Lei suddenly replied with certainty.

Hearing his tone, everyone, including Li Chenzhou, looked at him.

"Because… if we can't, it proves we're already dead, so… the way this world looks will have nothing to do with us anymore!"

Duan Lei added, with a helpless smile on his face.

Qing City was about four hundred kilometers away from Qi City. Dark Blood's maximum speed could reach over three hundred kilometers per hour, but that would consume too many Slaughter Points. Therefore, Li Chenzhou didn't let Number One use its maximum speed to travel, but maintained a normal speed of over one hundred kilometers per hour.

Dark Blood didn't need fuel and had its own power supply, but all of this consumed Slaughter Points. This was probably the meaning of the Slaughter Mall—if you want to enjoy it, go slaughter!

"Boss! Can Dark Blood's internal space be expanded infinitely?"

After looking at Li Yunshan and the others, Duan Lei turned to Li Chenzhou and asked.

When they were frantically searching for supplies before, Li Chenzhou created a huge warehouse. Now that Li Yunshan and the others had joined the team, Li Chenzhou opened another room of three or four hundred square meters for them, which gave Duan Lei some ideas.

"No! Although theoretically there is no limit to expansion, the larger the expanded space, the more Slaughter Points are consumed. With our current Slaughter Point reserves, we can only expand another four or five hundred cubic meters at most!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head. Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Duan Lei sighed, indicating that he understood, and turned to look out the window.

In fact, expanding the space chariot didn't consume many Slaughter Points, but once it exceeded a certain number, the cost would skyrocket. The space Li Chenzhou had expanded had already reached 10,000 cubic meters, which was the limit he could currently expand!

If he wanted to expand further, the Slaughter Points required would suddenly skyrocket. Within 10,000, expanding one cubic meter only required one Slaughter Point, but expanding beyond 10,000 would cost one hundred Slaughter Points per cubic meter, an instant hundredfold increase!

It was because it was cheap before 10,000 that Li Chenzhou directly expanded to 10,000, after all, a large amount of space was needed to store the supplies Grey Bear and the others had scavenged.

After that, it wouldn't be cost-effective, and it would be better to buy another space chariot. However, Li Chenzhou didn't plan to buy a second one.

After all, the space chariot was not a main battle-type chariot. Its abilities were all in the "space" part of its name. Although it could be strengthened using Slaughter Points, it couldn't carry many things.

For example, light beam cannons could not be mounted on a space chariot. Therefore, Li Chenzhou now planned to accumulate more Slaughter Points and then exchange them for an assault chariot.

The assault chariot had far more mounting points than Dark Blood, and most weapons could be mounted on it. It was a chariot specifically designed for combat. Of course, the price was also quite expensive, and Li Chenzhou couldn't afford it at the moment—to put it in a poor man's words: his car, I could work my whole life, and not be able to afford a steering wheel...

Originally, Li Chenzhou always thought that this space chariot alone would be enough, because he didn't want to rely on remote weapons, and he didn't want to hide in the chariot to fight zombies or other creatures.

But the appearance of the Corpse Demon, his Seven Star Controller, and those light beam cannons made Li Chenzhou suddenly realize that his enemies in this life might be different from those in his previous life.

In his previous life, he had never heard of devourers or Corpse Demons. The enemies of mankind were zombies and mutated beasts.

But now, his enemies had already taken out remote weapons, especially that Seven Star Controller. Just looking at the description, Li Chenzhou felt that the gun was quite awesome, not to mention its price of 1.5 million.

Li Chenzhou was even sure that the Corpse Demon's Seven Star Controller must have some kind of restriction, otherwise, he would never have been able to drive the Corpse Demon away with the vehicle-mounted machine gun.

His vehicle-mounted machine gun looked quite fierce, but compared to light beam firearms, it was like a child's squirt gun...

Of course, Li Chenzhou didn't know what the restriction was, maybe it had something to do with the other party's level not exceeding his own!

Therefore, Li Chenzhou had made up his mind that in the future, he would strengthen his own strength, and he would also buy war machines. The faster he developed, the more Slaughter Points he would get! The better the things he could buy would naturally be, this was a virtuous cycle.

In addition, Li Yunshan and the others had now joined his team. With these people who were quite familiar with firearms and wouldn't be attacked by zombies, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.

Li Chenzhou now only hoped that when they arrived in Qi City, they would be able to successfully find Li Yunshan and the others' families and bring their families into Dark Blood. These people would truly integrate into his team.

Of course, Li Chenzhou wasn't sure if he could find them. He couldn't even be sure if those people's families were still alive.

"Huh? Is this… a human base? So big?"

More than two hours later, Duan Lei's surprised voice suddenly rang out. Li Chenzhou, who had been searching through the Slaughter Mall and learning about the products, couldn't help but look up. Sure enough, in front of them, a very large base appeared, and there were even people with guns patrolling back and forth on the walls.

"This is Thousand Source Lake Resort Villa! It is said that tens of billions were invested in its construction, but it hasn't been completely completed yet!"

Grey Bear himself was from Qi City, so he was naturally familiar with this place. He quickly took the initiative to introduce it:

"It was built around Thousand Source Lake, and covers a very large area. Could it be… that someone has used it as a base?"

"Boss!"

Hearing Grey Bear's words, Duan Lei immediately turned back to look at Li Chenzhou.

"Let's go take a look first!"

Li Chenzhou actually wanted to directly enter the city to see how many zombies there were in Qi City, and kill some along the way. But thinking that Li Yunshan and the others wanted to find their relatives, they naturally had to give priority to the human base.

"Okay!"

Duan Lei nodded. Subsequently, Dark Blood changed direction and drove towards Thousand Source Lake Resort Villa…
