“He’s not dead?”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s words, Grey Bear was stunned. He really hadn't asked if the guy controlling the zombie horde was dead, because according to the horde's reaction, it was clearly out of control. Plus, Li Chenzhou had even snatched the guy's weapon. So Grey Bear figured that guy was definitely a goner.

“Actually, I thought he was dead, but after going back to check, I wasn’t so sure anymore.”

Li Chenzhou shook his head and simply recounted everything that had happened after he encountered the Devourer!

Hearing that the research institute had self-destructed, only to create a space with nothing else changed, Grey Bear frowned. He didn't know what kind of self-destruction would manifest in such a way.

“So, you're guessing that the research institute relocated, just like how we ended up here?”

After thinking for a long time, Grey Bear finally asked.

“Yeah!”

Li Chenzhou nodded.

“I didn't know where that research institute had moved to before, but now, I feel like it's in this city. Otherwise, those enhanced zombies couldn't have all vanished without a trace!”

“You’re saying that guy summoned all the enhanced zombies over there?”

Grey Bear gasped.

“Then… in a few more days, will another zombie similar to that giant Tyrant appear here?”

“I don’t know!”

Li Chenzhou shook his head. His knowledge of the Devourer was limited, so he couldn't judge. He didn't even know how the Devourer had created that giant zombie with seven level-three mutated crystal cores inside its body.

That's right, after killing the giant Tyrant, Li Chenzhou calculated that he had obtained a total of seven level-three mutated crystal cores from its body!

According to Li Chenzhou’s guess, the appearance of this giant Tyrant should be due to level restrictions. The Devourer had also said that if there were no restrictions, Li Chenzhou would be completely vulnerable.

Therefore, the Devourer’s original level was definitely higher than level three, but due to some kind of restriction, its strength was suppressed at the level of a level-three ability user.

And the giant Tyrant was the same. The giant Tyrant’s strength undoubtedly exceeded that of an ordinary level-three creature. This should be another method that the Devourer had taken to deal with the level suppression.

Because of Li Chenzhou’s previous battle with the zombie horde, the Devourer knew that relying solely on the horde would probably not be enough to kill Li Chenzhou. He could only think of another way.

The best way, of course, would be to create a level-four, level-five, or even higher-level creature to kill Li Chenzhou. But because of the level restrictions, he could only find another way!

If he couldn’t break through the level, then he would win with quantity. Therefore, he used multiple level-three mutated crystal cores to create that giant Tyrant. In this way, the giant Tyrant’s level would naturally still be level three, but because it had seven level-three mutated crystal cores inside its body, its strength would naturally not be comparable to other level-three creatures.

Furthermore, what Li Chenzhou didn’t know was that being able to kill this giant Tyrant was entirely due to his good luck. His previous guesses were all correct. The Devourer wanted to use this method to solve the problem of level suppression.

Therefore, the reason why the zombie horde had been silent for so long was because the Devourer was creating this giant Tyrant, planning to use it to kill Li Chenzhou!

If he had really succeeded, then Li Chenzhou might have really been killed by the giant Tyrant, because the giant Tyrant he killed wasn't the complete version.

The giant Tyrant's real name—the name the Devourers used—was actually called the Sewn Abomination. The complete Sewn Abomination had fifteen mutated crystal cores inside its body, but when Li Chenzhou came, this Sewn Abomination was only half finished! It only had seven mutated crystal cores inside its body.

The strength of such a Sewn Abomination was only one-third of that of the complete version. Both its regeneration ability and combat ability were far inferior. Even so, it was quite difficult for Li Chenzhou to kill it. One could imagine what the result would be if he faced the complete Sewn Abomination!!!

So, it could be said that Li Chenzhou was lucky. If he hadn’t had the sudden idea to have the survivors in the city relocate overnight and come here to scout things out, the Devourer wouldn’t have been unable to hold back and sent out the unfinished Sewn Abomination.

If Li Chenzhou had relocated the survivors in the city step by step, it would probably have taken him several more days to come to the council building in the city center, while the Sewn Abomination only needed three days to be completely finished.

If Li Chenzhou had come here three days later, then the ending would probably have been different! And it would have been the grand finale…

Li Chenzhou’s words made Grey Bear feel a little uneasy. After all, a giant Tyrant had already made them feel like they were on the verge of death. If an even more powerful one came along, then they would probably be completely finished.

However, Grey Bear quickly smiled and looked up at Li Chenzhou.

“Hey… boss! That giant Tyrant from before, that guy took several days to create it. And this time, knowing that the giant Tyrant didn't work, he'll definitely make an even more powerful guy, right?

“In that case, it’ll take him even longer. And according to previous experience, he shouldn’t bother us during this time. Just like now, we can wander around for as long as we want without seeing a single zombie!

“Since that’s the case, let’s hurry up and prepare. Without the entanglement of the zombie horde, we can prepare the warship in two or three days. When that time comes, we’ll just set sail. No matter what that guy creates, even if he makes an Iron Man, it won’t have anything to do with us. Let James and the others worry about it!”

Hearing Grey Bear’s words, Li Chenzhou was stunned. That’s right, his goal was to get a warship so that he could return to Qishi and reunite with Duan Lei and the others. He wasn't planning to stay here. What did it matter to him where the research institute relocated?

“You’re right! Then let’s do it as soon as possible!”

Li Chenzhou nodded, then waved his hand.

“Let’s go! Let’s go back and pick up those guys! Also…”

He turned his head to look at Henry Town, which was now completely crowded with people, and said to Grey Bear,

“Have them send some people to come with us in trucks. We can collect some resources along the way!”

Since those enhanced zombies weren’t coming out, what was the point of not taking this opportunity to get more resources?

Moreover, bringing so many people might lure out the enhanced zombies. In any case, whether the zombies appeared or not, Li Chenzhou wouldn't be at a loss!

So, Grey Bear immediately ran over, found a few people he knew, and had them choose some men to follow him in trucks to collect resources.

Grey Bear originally thought that it would be quite easy for him to find people, considering that they had turned nearly a hundred people into enhanced fighters before and even dared to take them into the city. These people would definitely be crying and begging to come. But what he didn't expect was that the situation he encountered was completely the opposite of what he had imagined…
