Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 54 Zhao Dahai's Threat
Li Chenzhou naturally noticed the abnormality of the zombies. Although he was still in the cinema on the sixth floor and couldn't see outside, he noticed that the zombies in those theaters were all rushing to one side of the room.
Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou frowned immediately, because he immediately judged that a Zombie King was summoning them.
This kind of summoning isn't command. The Zombie King can't see these zombies either. It can only send out information within a certain range, allowing the zombies that receive the information to gather around it.
Of course, the zombies outside wouldn't have any problems and could possibly rush all the way to the Zombie King, but the zombies in these buildings couldn't. After all, they didn't have any intelligence and only relied on instinct.
Therefore, after receiving the summons, they only knew to rush towards the direction of the summoning, without understanding that they should first find a door to go out. So, they all gathered in the room closest to the direction from which the summoning was issued, haphazardly pounding on the walls with their hands and feet.
Actually, at this moment, it was the best time to kill, because with the Zombie King summoning, the zombies' attention was all there, so even if Li Chenzhou went over to kill those zombies, it wouldn't attract the zombies' attention.
But Li Chenzhou didn't take this opportunity to start a massacre. Instead, he immediately greeted Xiaoya, then turned around and rushed out of the theater—he wanted to first confirm the location of the Zombie King summoning the zombies, and how far away it was from him.
Zombie Kings also have a sense of territory. Once it completes the summoning, the first thing it will do is control the horde to clear its territory. At that time, the horde won't be as chaotic as headless flies like they were now.
Seeing Li Chenzhou rush out of the theater, Xiaoya quickly followed, but suddenly realized that she had dropped her doll in the theater, so she hurried back to get it.
Feeling the seriousness of the situation, Li Chenzhou noticed that Xiaoya hadn't followed. He hesitated for a moment, looked around, and continued rushing towards the window opposite.
Although he hadn't cleared out the zombies in that theater yet, Xiaoya wouldn't be in any danger, because the zombies were all in a summoned state, and wouldn't even bother with you if you patted them on the shoulder to greet them.
Rushing to the window opposite, Li Chenzhou looked down. The zombies below were indeed running madly towards his front. Moreover, Li Chenzhou was shocked to find that the range covered by the summoned zombies was unexpectedly large.
Although he was only on the sixth floor, Li Chenzhou could see at least two or three kilometers away, and the zombies at the end of his sight were still moving forward.
In other words, the summoning radius of this Zombie King had exceeded at least three kilometers. Such a range… was impossible for a Level 1 Zombie King to achieve!
Li Chenzhou looked solemn. He felt that this apocalypse seemed to have exceeded his understanding. A Zombie King that could actively summon zombies and cover an area with a diameter of more than six kilometers around him had actually appeared on the second day of the apocalypse?
Moreover, looking at the direction the zombies were gathering, if he extended it by another two kilometers or so, it would be close to the hotel where Li Yunshan and the others were located. In other words, the location of this Zombie King was quite close to the hotel.
Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked towards the direction of the hotel.
"Ah!"
Just then, Xiaoya's exclamation suddenly came. Li Chenzhou immediately turned around and found that several burly men in blue overalls were standing at the atrium railing, one of them holding Xiaoya.
These people were naturally Zhao Dahai and the others, because Zhao Dahai also felt uneasy, so he wanted to come down and see if the zombies in the mall had been summoned away like the zombies outside.
If so, he could take people to scavenge enough food and water in the mall and then find a way to leave the city.
Their company was in this building, so Zhao Dahai and the others were naturally familiar with it. Therefore, they wanted to go to the cinema first to see. The atrium of the mall directly connected the first to sixth floors, and they could clearly see the situation on all the floors below from here.
Therefore, they rushed out of the sixth floor and went straight to the atrium, and the theater where Xiaoya was located was also near the atrium. Xiaoya, who had just run out of the theater, was intercepted by Zhao Dahai and others.
"Put her down!"
Li Chenzhou walked towards Zhao Dahai, who was holding Xiaoya, staring at Zhao Dahai with icy eyes.
"Brother! We have no malice!"
Zhao Dahai quickly reached out to make a gesture of stopping, and said:
"But if you move forward, if something happens, don't blame us!"
As he said that, Zhao Dahai directly grabbed Xiaoya and placed her body outside the atrium railing, turning to look at Li Chenzhou.
Seeing Zhao Dahai's actions, Li Chenzhou immediately stopped, calculating the distance between himself and Zhao Dahai. He found that the distance between the two was more than ten meters, that is to say, outside the range covered by his war fog.
"Xiaoya, don't be nervous, relax! Don't be afraid, you'll be fine!"
Li Chenzhou first looked at the somewhat panicked Xiaoya and comforted her. Her body was suspended in the air. If she got agitated and launched that mental attack again, it wouldn't matter if these people fell into a coma, but she would definitely fall down.
This was the sixth floor, and the floor of the mall was extremely hard. Even with Li Chenzhou's physique, falling from this height would be tough, let alone Xiaoya!
"Since you have no hostility, why did you grab her? Let her go, and we'll mind our own business!"
Then, Li Chenzhou looked at Zhao Dahai, while opening his arms and slowly walking forward. From these people's positions, he could see that this guy was the leader of the group.
"Brother, in this world, even without hostility, you have to be prepared!"
Zhao Dahai looked at Li Chenzhou and said, while also breathing a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, this guy cared about this little girl.
In fact, Zhao Dahai originally intended to use Li Chenzhou to help him kill zombies, and even thought about whether to subdue Li Chenzhou, after all, this kid was quite ruthless when killing zombies.
But now, after seeing Li Chenzhou in person, he decisively dismissed his idea, because he felt a rather dangerous aura on Li Chenzhou, even though Li Chenzhou was now opening his arms and not touching his weapon.
A person like this was definitely a time bomb to keep around. Therefore, Zhao Dahai decided to settle for second best, and once again reached out to make a blocking gesture:
"Stop! Don't move forward anymore. I know you're very powerful. Now, slowly take off your weapon and throw it to me."
"I'll give you my weapon, and you'll let her go?"
Li Chenzhou took two more steps forward before stopping. Then, he took off the battle blade along with the scabbard, pinched it with two fingers, and asked.
"You don't have the right to negotiate with me now. If you don't want me to throw her down, then throw the weapon over here immediately!"
Zhao Dahai stared at Li Chenzhou and said.
Of course, he wouldn't easily let go of Xiaoya, even after getting that extremely sharp weapon.
Since this little girl could make this kid afraid to act rashly, then she must be kept in his hands! First, let this kid pave the way for them, and then find a way to kill him.
Since they had already become enemies, then he definitely couldn't let him leave alive. On this point, Zhao Dahai's ideas were actually quite consistent with Li Chenzhou's...
