Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 68 I'm Just a Regular Guy
Looking at Li Chenzhou's back, Grey Bear couldn't help but turn his head again towards the direction he wanted to go, asking the question aloud.
"Don't know!"
Duan Lei followed Grey Bear's gaze and said softly, "Either... it's our opportunity, or... it's our disaster!"
Grey Bear subconsciously turned back, looking towards the distant city. He had been unconscious when they left, so he had no idea what had happened.
Grey Bear really wanted to go back to the captain, but in this situation... he couldn't bring himself to leave!
At least... wait until that guy comes back!
Grey Bear thought to himself.
Duan Lei saw the look on Grey Bear's face and understood what he was thinking, but he didn't intend to tell him everything.
Duan Lei knew that if he told someone like Grey Bear that their team was in the center of a zombie horde and could be wiped out at any time, the guy would rush back no matter what.
Whether out of a soldier's honor or personal persistence, Duan Lei admired guys like that, but he knew that no matter what Li Yunshan's situation was, Grey Bear, who wasn't even a Strengthener and only had a pistol with a few bullets, wouldn't be able to do anything if he went back. The only thing he would accomplish would be to add another zombie with a pistol to the horde.
"Sis! How do you feel?"
After confirming his thoughts, Duan Lei looked at Duan Xue.
"Okay! Just a little dizzy!"
Duan Xue looked at Xiao Ya, "And... I think... I can feel her emotions. She's very scared right now! She really wants someone to hug her!"
As she spoke, Duan Xue reached out and picked up Xiao Ya, holding her in her arms.
"Scared?"
Duan Lei looked at Xiao Ya, then at Duan Xue, frowning slightly as if he had thought of something. He turned to Grey Bear, "Dog Bear! Do you feel anything right now?"
"I want to go there!"
Grey Bear turned his head, pointing with a bitter smile towards the direction that was calling to him.
"Sis! Do you feel anything towards that direction right now?"
Hearing Grey Bear's words, a flash of inspiration struck Duan Lei, and he immediately turned back to look at Duan Xue.
"Huh?"
Duan Xue looked up at Duan Lei, then turned her head to look in the direction Duan Lei was pointing, shaking her head blankly, "Now... it seems to be gone!"
...
The Hengyan Mountains were called mountains, but they were actually just a series of connected hills. The highest point was no more than three hundred meters above sea level, so strictly speaking, it was just a range of hills.
Because there was a river next to the mountain range, it had mountains, water, and a river. If you added an old man herding cattle, it would be a perfect secluded paradise. Therefore, Qing City originally planned to develop it into a scenic spot.
But during the development process, they discovered that there was a huge iron mine under the mountain range, so the scenic spot was instantly canceled and turned into a state-owned mining area.
Li Chenzhou didn't know about the Hengyan Mountains, and the mining area located in the center of the mountain range wasn't marked on the map.
But Li Chenzhou still easily found the location of the mining area.
Because after arriving at the Hengyan Mountains, the entire mountain range, like Wu Village, was completely silent, without any sound. The insects and birds that should have been in the mountains were completely absent.
But at the entrance of the mountain range, there was a very obvious path, formed by humans or other animals trampling on it, and it stretched all the way into the depths of the mountain range.
Because of the silence of the mountain range, Li Chenzhou became much more cautious. Moreover, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he suddenly felt as if something was calling to him from ahead.
This feeling was very strange. If he hadn't heard Grey Bear and Duan Xue's descriptions, Li Chenzhou would never have associated it with the word 'summoning'. Because in his feeling, there was a place in this mountain range that he had to go to.
After discovering this feeling, Li Chenzhou immediately stopped, turned his head to look at Wu Village, and then looked at the place he felt he had to go.
He was now somewhat conflicted, because he knew that he might have been interfered with by that mysterious creature, just like Duan Xue and Grey Bear, and had become one of the summoned.
But the feeling in his heart now told him that he really had to go there once, that it was very important to him!
Li Chenzhou was completely uncertain whether the feeling in his heart came from himself or from the guy who was sending out the summons.
"Damn it! I'll take the risk!"
After hesitating for a long time, Li Chenzhou finally clenched the gun and war blade in his hands, bent over, and rushed into the Hengyan Mountains!!!
He knew that the feeling in his heart was likely the work of the guy who was sending out the summons, because judging from the summons that Duan Xue and Grey Bear had received, this kind of summons was aimed at the point that people most craved in their hearts.
Grey Bear was a policeman and would resolutely obey orders, which was why he had resolutely left Leopard at the beginning. Therefore, the summons he felt was that his team was here, and he had to come here to join them.
As for Duan Xue, her parents had died long ago, and the orphans' longing for their parents was a feeling that was hard to understand for those who had never truly experienced it.
Therefore, what Duan Xue felt was that if she came here, she would see her parents, which was also an irresistible temptation for Duan Xue.
And now, the feeling that Li Chenzhou got was very vague, that he had to go there, that that place was very important to him, but there was no specific information at all.
That was because... even Li Chenzhou himself didn't have a clear goal right now.
As a reborn person who also had the Slaughter System, according to most people's thinking, this would definitely be a rhythm to save the world.
But for Li Chenzhou himself... what he wanted was to live a better life. No matter how the world changed, as long as he could survive and live a leisurely and comfortable life without any worries, that would be the best.
This was a typical petty-bourgeois mentality, muddling along, as long as he lived well, even if it was after I died, I wouldn't care if the flood was raging.
As for those who wanted to save the earth at every turn, and felt that the universe would explode without him, they were either mentally ill or retarded—at least that's what Li Chenzhou thought (it's him, not the author, you have to distinguish!).
And this time he was going into the mountains because of Duan Lei's words - maybe this summoning is related to the appearance of the apocalypse!
Therefore, even if he knew that he might be influenced by the existence sending out the summons, Li Chenzhou still rushed into the mountains. Because there were many trampled traces on the road, he easily went deep into the mountains and arrived at the mining area.
The moment he saw the mining area, Li Chenzhou's eyes widened, because what was presented in front of him was a spectacle that he had never witnessed in both of his lifetimes...
