Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 394 Took Too Little
Looking at Li Chenzhou’s smile, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Devourer’s heart. But he knew that he had already activated the self-destruct device. He was very clear about this device.
He was sure that the entire laboratory, including the walls and all the materials inside, would be turned into dust in the self-destruction. The only entrance to the laboratory was now closed. Not to mention a level-three human, even level five or six ability users would never be able to break through.
The only way to survive was to get out before the laboratory door closed. But this human no longer had that chance. He was doomed.
"Hmph, you foolish human, don't pretend. You have nowhere to run. In a few dozen seconds, you will turn to dust with me!"
Staring at Li Chenzhou, Devourer said with a ferocious look:
"Take advantage of this little time to release the fear in your heart. Otherwise, it will be too late. Everything about you will completely disappear, leaving no trace!"
"That's assuming I have to stay here, right?"
Li Chenzhou looked at Devourer and smiled happily:
"Unfortunately, I don't plan to die with a fool like you, so… you can stay here and experience anger and despair! Oh! By the way, I’ll borrow this!"
As he spoke, Li Chenzhou suddenly grabbed Devourer's wrist, then drew a dagger and cut off his entire arm:
"Anyway, you don't need this arm, so I don't plan to return it. No need to see me off!!!"
Waving Devourer's arm at him, Li Chenzhou's figure disappeared instantly…
"Wha… what???"
Li Chenzhou's mysterious disappearance made Devourer forget the pain of his severed arm. His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the place where Li Chenzhou had been with disbelief, and cried out in a trembling voice:
"Space… space laws? That's impossible!!! How could a low-level creature like a human comprehend space laws? No! This is definitely not true, I don't believe it!!!"
As he spoke, he struggled to stand up and walked towards an instrument. If a human had mastered the laws of space, he had to send this message back to headquarters.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time. Although his life was tenacious enough, even a fatal injury still allowed him to hold on until now. He wouldn't die completely even within the next hour. But the time for self-destruction had already arrived…
Just as Devourer was only a little more than a meter away from the instrument, and his only remaining arm was about to touch it, a white light quietly lit up and instantly filled the entire laboratory!
Everything in the laboratory was dissolved and dissipated in the white light. Whether it was the instrument or the floor, the walls, or even the door, including Devourer, were all dissolved in an instant, leaving no trace.
At this time, Li Chenzhou had already appeared outside, grabbing Devourer's arm and running wildly along the corridor, then suddenly jumped out of the ground.
After reaching the ground, Li Chenzhou did not stop at all. He ran wildly on the highway while turning his head to look at the hole he had jumped out of.
According to his calculations, if Devourer's five minutes was accurate, then the self-destruction of the research institute should have already begun. However, he did not hear any explosion.
In his opinion, a research institute that looked like it had extremely high technology, at least a hundred years beyond humanity, would definitely be earth-shattering once it self-destructed. Even if the entire city was blown up, Li Chenzhou wouldn't find it strange.
But when he turned his head, he only saw a flash of white light, and then there were no more abnormalities. All he could hear was the sound of gunfire coming from the surrounding buildings…
Li Chenzhou stopped, turned around and stared at the hole that had been knocked out by the giant Tyrant. Could it be… that white light was the so-called self-destruction? So low-key?
"Crash!"
Just then, the sound of glass breaking came. Li Chenzhou turned his head and saw that it was a Shadow Demon, jumping down after breaking through the glass on the eighth floor of the building on his right.
Then, the sound of glass breaking was endless. A large number of enhanced zombies of various types rushed out of the building and jumped onto the street.
"Really dead?"
Li Chenzhou was a little stunned.
This situation clearly meant that these enhanced zombies had lost control, so they no longer obeyed orders and carried out attacks according to the predetermined route.
The appearance of this situation meant that the Devourer who controlled these enhanced zombies was already dead. In other words, that white light just now was really the self-destruction of the research institute?
"Roar!"
The enhanced zombies jumping out of the surrounding buildings landed on the road one after another, and Li Chenzhou, who was standing in the middle of the road, naturally became their target. The first Shadow Demon to land roared and pounced on him without hesitation.
Li Chenzhou naturally didn't care about this kind of enhanced zombie now. He wouldn't even use his hand cannon.
Handing the Devourer's arm in his right hand to his left hand, then taking out his long staff, just as he was about to smash the Shadow Demon to death, Li Chenzhou suddenly found that the Shadow Demon had stopped. After twitching its nose a few times, it turned around and ran away.
Looking at the Shadow Demon's back, Li Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, and looked at the long staff in his hand: Could it be that this guy has seen me before and knows that my staff skills are powerful?
But then, he saw the arm he was holding in his left hand, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind. So, he looked at the other enhanced zombies rushing towards him, directly put away the long staff, and raised the arm towards those enhanced zombies.
As expected, when these enhanced zombies rushed in front of Li Chenzhou, they all stopped urgently. Then, like the previous Shadow Demon, they twitched their noses a few times, and then turned around and fled.
"Sure enough, it's this guy's effect!"
Li Chenzhou looked at the arm in his hand and muttered, while a sense of regret rose in his heart—Damn, I should have taken more. It's so useful, even if I had chopped off a thigh at the time, it would be much thicker than an arm!!!
Cutting off this arm was a temporary idea of Li Chenzhou's. He wanted to take this back and find a place to study it. Originally, he planned to simply kill that Devourer and then bring his entire body out.
But the problem was that the metal block that popped out of that guy's breastplate was quite scary. Who knew if this metal block was the main device for self-destruction?
Therefore, Li Chenzhou settled for the next best thing and only cut off one of his arms. The tentacle-bearing crack was on the palm, and Devourer had also tried to grab Li Chenzhou with his hand when he said he was sucking him.
Then, this suction should be related to this crack. Taking it back to study it, at least he could learn more about Devourers…
