Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 379 Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
But James was different. Not only was he one of them, but he also had the highest prestige here. If he really started killing people, probably no one would dare to say anything. Even if they wanted to incite some people, it would become extremely difficult!
"Alright! I'll choose the people now, you, you, you..."
Before James could finish speaking, Li Chenzhou directly started choosing people. He didn't care about what those people thought. Since arriving here, he didn't seem to have shown his cold-blooded side. If necessary, he wouldn't mind letting these foreigners witness it!
After pointing out nearly a hundred people, Li Chenzhou finally stopped. He only planned to take these hundred people with him. Too many people were useless! Because no matter how many you had, you couldn't outnumber the zombie horde!
"You all think carefully. I'm giving you one last chance to regret. I'll give you one minute. Whoever doesn't want to go, raise your hand immediately and withdraw. I'll replace you!"
After choosing the people, Li Chenzhou directly said to them:
"After one minute, you will no longer have the chance to withdraw. Moreover, all of you this time must obey my orders. Even if I ask you to die, you must go to your death without hesitation. Do you understand?"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, some of these people began to hesitate. They were wondering if Li Chenzhou was using them as cannon fodder!
Just as Li Chenzhou's one-minute countdown began, finally eight people chose to withdraw. They raised their hands high, and Li Chenzhou didn't make things difficult for them, directly waving his hand to let them leave the team, and then looked at the other survivors.
Although they saw some people withdraw, there were still many people willing to join, especially the survivors from the port. Half of them were navy soldiers from the warships, and they inherently possessed enough courage.
In addition, they felt that they had been rescued by Li Chenzhou, so even if he used them as cannon fodder, it would only be repaying him with their lives. Moreover, there was still an evolution serum waiting for them.
So, Li Chenzhou once again selected eight people from the crowd, and then led them outside, entering two large buses.
"Distribute the serums and let them use them!"
Entering the bus and settling everyone down, Li Chenzhou didn't waste any time. He directly exchanged for the evolution serums from the system store and had Grey Bear and the others distribute them.
Ten minutes later, everyone on the two buses had become ability users, but they didn't look too happy because they all knew that they still had to face a huge test!
"You all know what we're going to do, and now you've lost the chance to withdraw. But I can guarantee that if we really encounter a zombie horde, I will be the first to rush up and the last to retreat from the battle!"
Li Chenzhou said, looking at these apprehensive people:
"To be honest, I don't know the situation in the city center. I don't even know what's controlling the zombie horde. So, I don't know what we're going to face, and I can't guarantee whether you can survive!
But I can at least guarantee one thing, and that is, you have now proven your courage to me, which is the most important thing in the apocalypse. So, as long as you can survive, you will definitely become stronger and stronger! Now, I need to divide you into groups, a total of four teams. At that time, you must all obey the command of your own captain without any hesitation!"
Afterwards, Li Chenzhou directly divided everyone into teams. These survivors, excluding Li Chenzhou, totaled exactly one hundred people, including Grey Bear and the others.
Li Chenzhou divided them into five teams, with twenty people in each team, led by Grey Bear, Mike, Tony, George, and Lucas. They were all soldiers, and not just ordinary soldiers, so they naturally had command experience, and commanding nineteen people was not a problem at all.
"Listen carefully, these are the plans. I will decide which one to use depending on the situation. You just need to remember them and listen to my command at that time. Remember, no matter what happens, don't panic! Understand?"
Li Chenzhou called everyone off the bus, letting them adapt to their newly acquired powers on the ground, and then called Grey Bear and the other five captains together, telling them the plans he had made before and instructing them.
"Don't worry! Boss!"
Mike was the first to answer. He was now determined to follow Li Chenzhou, so he called him boss like Grey Bear, instead of Li.
"Understood, boss!"
With Mike taking the lead, the others also agreed and called him boss, it seemed that they were all like Mike, planning to follow Li Chenzhou.
Actually, it wasn't their fault. They already knew the power of the evolution serum before, and now, Li Chenzhou directly took out nearly a hundred evolution serums, what did that represent?
It meant that Li Chenzhou had even more evolution serums!
This serum wasn't like crystal cores, which had level restrictions. People who exceeded the crystal core's level couldn't increase their level by using crystal cores, at most they could only add some attributes.
But evolution serums, they could be used at any level, only the success rate would decrease!
Damn it, those guys just used up more than ninety evolution serums, so many evolution serums, if they were all given to me, even if the subsequent upgrade success rate decreased, I could still level up forty or fifty times, right?
Therefore, these people were now determined to cling to Li Chenzhou's thigh. Only by following him could their level not be restricted and could they become stronger and stronger.
Hearing everyone's response, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but smile. His purpose, one was to organize manpower to go to the city center to see what was going on, and the other, wasn't it to win people's hearts so as to gather enough crew members to return to Qi City?
While Li Chenzhou was telling the five captains about his plans, the other survivors who had just become ability users were also adapting to their bodies nearby.
And these people's actions were naturally seen clearly by other survivors. Seeing these guys who were just ordinary people like themselves before, had become so powerful in just a few minutes, those survivors were naturally filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Especially the eight people who had withdrawn before, their intestines were about to turn green when they saw these guys showing off their skills.
Damn it, if I hadn't said I was withdrawing just now, wouldn't I be able to become so powerful now? I could become stronger, why did I refuse?
Although becoming stronger meant taking risks, so many people were going together, it didn't necessarily mean that I would be the one to die, right? Moreover, if there was danger, wouldn't I be able to run away if I couldn't beat them?
The eight people gathered together, the more they looked at these people, the more they hated them. Finally, they discussed with each other, and then walked towards Li Chenzhou together...
