"We found them! But since it was on the highway, it was just the wandering zombies and those trapped in their cars. Not a lot! And not concentrated enough."

Luo Hong nodded and said,

"Also, I told them you don't want burdens, and I always rushed to the front to kill zombies. Seeing me like that, many people also rushed up to kill zombies. In the end, most of the adult men in the team dared to kill zombies, at least those trapped in cars!"

"You're really amazing!"

Li Chenzhou looked at Luo Hong and sincerely praised him.

He didn't question Luo Hong's words. It sounded exaggerated that so many people dared to kill zombies, but humans are actually that kind of animal, easily infected by the atmosphere around them.

If the people at the front turned and ran when they saw zombies, then those behind would very likely do the same. But if there were many people in front, just like them, killing zombies, then those behind would find it easier to muster their courage!

Just like on the battlefield, the collapse of an army struggling to hold on often starts with the first deserter. That's why all armies, from ancient times to the present, have had surprisingly uniform punishments for deserters: death!!!

Because that deserter could completely affect the entire army, even the outcome of the entire war!

It seemed that Luo Hong was not only capable but also dared to take risks. If he had been encouraging others to step forward and kill zombies while he hid in the back, this team would probably have fallen apart long ago and never made it here.

"I wouldn't dare say I'm amazing! I just want to survive!"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Luo Hong shook his head with a wry smile, then looked at Li Chenzhou with hope:

"Brother Li, what about my previous request..."

"Alright!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. Luo Hong was able to lead the team like this and bring them here, which meant he was fully capable of establishing a base. Li Chenzhou didn't mind giving someone like that a hand!

In fact, Li Chenzhou suddenly thought that if Luo Hong really had that kind of control, he wouldn't mind helping him a little more!

"That's great!"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Luo Hong immediately became excited. He looked at Li Chenzhou with shining eyes and said,

"Brother Li, thank you. And don't worry, if I really establish a base, then you'll definitely be the leader of the base, and I'll be your assistant!"

"That won't be necessary. I'm not interested in establishing a base!"

Li Chenzhou immediately shook his head.

"Anyway... consider this base as me helping you look after it, because that's what I told them!"

Luo Hong turned his head to look at the convoy:

"Do you know why they're all waiting for me there? Because I told them you're here, and I'm going to ask you if we qualify, so they don't dare to disturb us. So, whether I want it or not, in their hearts, you're the leader of the base. With just one word from you, they could even overthrow me immediately!"

As he said that, Luo Hong turned back to look at Li Chenzhou with a wry smile:

"That's the price of bluffing. If they hadn't seen you all this time, then my power would definitely have remained. But after seeing you, that power automatically transferred."

"How did you let them all know I was here?"

Looking at Luo Hong's expression, Li Chenzhou didn't dwell on it. Instead, he asked a question that he was more concerned about.

The convoy stopped directly before, probably because they saw the lead car stop, so they all followed suit. But Luo Hong said that they all knew he was here, so they didn't dare to come closer, which was a bit of an exaggeration.

"Walkie-talkies! Got them from the mall!"

Luo Hong smiled and suddenly pulled a small walkie-talkie out of his pants pocket:

"I put one of these every two cars. Although it's a bit slow to transmit information, it's still useful!"

"Uh...!"

Seeing the walkie-talkie, the corner of Li Chenzhou's mouth twitched. He really hadn't thought of that.

Anything that needs electricity will be eliminated after the apocalypse, especially now because of the impact of the apocalypse. The distance this walkie-talkie can transmit might not even be as far as shouting directly—of course, compared to shouting, this thing is less likely to attract zombies.

"Alright, now that we're here, and the back is temporarily safe, then let them wait here for a while. Maybe there will be a gift for you!"

Li Chenzhou took two steps forward and patted Luo Hong on the shoulder.

"A gift?"

Luo Hong was stunned, but Li Chenzhou didn't explain further. He pointed to the six-story building and said to Luo Hong,

"You'll know if you come with me!"

"Wait in place, and the security team should be vigilant!"

Luo Hong didn't ask any more questions and spoke into the walkie-talkie.

Hearing Luo Hong's words, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but look at him again.

"I divided the people into resource teams, combat teams, and security teams. It's easier to command that way!"

Luo Hong said with a smile.

Li Chenzhou nodded and continued to walk forward.

"No way... are you really some kind of... transmigrator?"

During the conversation between the two, Luo Hong didn't hide anything from Hexiong, so Hexiong naturally heard Luo Hong's words from beginning to end.

Although he also heard that Luo Hong's intention was to pretend that Li Chenzhou was a transmigrator to trick the people in the convoy into following them, after Luo Hong's reminder, Hexiong increasingly felt that Li Chenzhou might really be a transmigrator.

A handgun with unlimited bullets, a black mist that suddenly made people unable to hear, see, or smell anything, and the ability to suddenly make that terrifying little hamster freeze in place.

Coupled with Li Chenzhou's apparent understanding of this world, all of this seemed to indicate that this mysterious and powerful guy might really be a survivor!

"Really am!"

Hearing Hexiong's words, Li Chenzhou didn't refute. Instead, he walked and said with a serious face:

"I actually came back here from twenty-five years in the future. At that time, our planet had been completely occupied by zombies, and all humans could only hide underground like mice."

As he said that, Li Chenzhou reached out and patted Hexiong on the shoulder:

"There was a person who had been leading us in the fight against the zombies. He was called the leader by us, and he is your child, but you died on the second day of the apocalypse.

Therefore, the twenty-two-year-old leader specially sent me back to protect you and find you a woman to ensure that he can be born."

"What you said... is it true?"

Li Chenzhou's words made Hexiong freeze in place, staring blankly at the departing Li Chenzhou, while Luo Hong looked at Hexiong with a strange expression and continued to follow Li Chenzhou forward.

"That's not right! You came back from twenty-five years later, and I died at the beginning of the apocalypse, so where did the twenty-two-year-old son come from?"

Hexiong suddenly reacted and chased after him, shouting softly:

"Also, since your leader is my son, he can still let you come back to find a woman for me? Then isn't the one who is born still him? Are you kidding me?"
