Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 360 Not Letting Others Take Advantage
James sneered, looking at the expectant gazes around him.
As a general, James understood things very well. Honestly, he was also tempted by so many mutated crystal cores. After all, it was an opportunity to strengthen his base.
But James knew clearly in his heart that these zombies were all killed by that Easterner. If he led people to snatch the mutated crystal cores, he would definitely offend the other party.
Someone with such strength was definitely not someone he could afford to provoke. James didn't want to ruin his base because of those mutated crystal cores!
“General! There are so many mutated crystal cores, that Easterner can't use them all! With his strength, he might already be a level three or even level four ability user. Level one crystal cores are completely useless to him!”
A survivor said:
“So, we can completely trade with him, or, we can also let him join us. As long as he joins us, those crystal cores will naturally all be ours.”
“That's right, General, in that case, everyone in our base can become strong. This is an opportunity we can't miss!”
“Yes, General, how about… we go up first and see what he says?”
With that survivor taking the lead, others chimed in with suggestions. They were all ordinary people, so they were extremely eager for mutated crystal cores.
In this world, only the strong have a chance to survive. For their own lives, they couldn't care less.
“Everyone! Let me remind you, those zombies were all killed by that Easterner!”
James shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He pointed at the screen and said:
“There should be at least seven or eight thousand zombies. Have you thought about it? If it weren't for this Easterner, what would be our fate if we faced these zombies?
Even without counting those zombies that escaped, just the thousands of zombies that died above, could we have dealt with them?
Don't let greed cloud your eyes, guys. That Easterner can kill so many zombies, so he also has the ability to kill us all. You want to snatch crystal cores from someone like that? Do you think you've lived too long?”
“……”
James's words finally made the survivors a little more sober, but one person still said somewhat unwillingly:
“General, we certainly can't kill so many zombies, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything to those two Easterners!
There are only two of them. No matter how strong they are, they're still afraid of bullets, right? We can completely catch them off guard and ambush them!”
“Sean! You can seek death yourself, but don't implicate us!”
James stared at the speaker, his gaze icy cold:
“You've been watching him fight all along. Did anyone see him use any skills? Such a strong person, do you believe he has no skills? I can tell you for sure, if you really ambush him, then the one who dies in the end will definitely be you!”
After speaking, James turned and walked out:
“I'm going up to chat with that young man. You guys take Sean's weapon away, lest this pig implicate us! Also, if anyone else wants to deal with those two Easterners, I advise you not to do it, because whether you succeed or not, I will kill you!”
Watching James leave, everyone looked at each other. In the end, two people ran out and confiscated Sean's weapon, while everyone else followed James.
Although James said he wouldn't ask Li Chenzhou for those crystal cores, they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, because they knew that level one crystal cores were only useful to ordinary people and level one ability users. Maybe that Easterner wouldn't even look at these crystal cores, and they could pick up a bargain.
At this time, Li Chenzhou was still immersed in the previous battle. The slaughter just now had directly increased his battle analysis to 18%.
According to the previous experience, when the battle analysis reached 20%, Li Chenzhou would still get a lot of benefits, so now Li Chenzhou's heart was full of expectations.
Of course, the closer to the ten-fold mark, the more difficult it became to improve the battle analysis, so although there were only two percent left, it was not so easy to achieve.
“Li! You surprised me too much. We must thank you, because without you, maybe everyone here would have died today!”
At this time, James had already walked out of the base and came to the ground, walking towards Li Chenzhou with a smile on his face, saying.
“You're welcome! Speaking of which, they were also attracted by us!”
Li Chenzhou quickly greeted him, returning the smile.
“No, no, no! I think, even without you, they would eventually find us one day!”
James shook his head and said:
“I can see that these zombies seem to be controlled by something!”
“That's right, General! We've been wandering outside for a long time! We've been watching the alarm, but it didn't attract any zombies. It just happened that after returning here, they suddenly appeared! This is quite abnormal!”
Mike quickly ran over and said.
Although the zombie horde was repelled by Li Chenzhou and the base was safe, his previous actions of attracting the zombies would definitely still be remembered by people. He wanted to take this opportunity to wash away his fault.
“It is indeed wrong. If the zombies were really attracted by the sound, it is impossible to directly surround you all. They were clearly ambushing in advance!”
James agreed with Mike's judgment, and he was not in the mood to blame this guy now. After all, he went out with Li Chenzhou and the others last night. Speaking of which, he was the one in the entire base who was most familiar with Li Chenzhou now.
“Li! There are mutated crystal cores in the bodies of these zombies. Do you need us to help you collect them?”
James was just about to ask Li Chenzhou where they went last night, but he found that someone behind him was looking at the bodies on the ground, opening his mouth to say something, so he quickly asked.
“Well! I do need these crystal cores! Then I'll have to trouble you!”
Li Chenzhou nodded. With seven or eight thousand bodies, it would be a big project to dig out the crystal cores, so it would be best to have someone help.
“Everyone, help together. Mike, you and George go up there to supervise. If anyone dares to hide crystal cores privately, execute them directly! Also, in the end, the bodies and crystal cores must be counted separately, and the numbers must be matched!”
James nodded, turned around and instructed the people behind him. Those people were overjoyed and were about to rush up, but James's words instantly cooled their hearts.
They were naturally thinking of secretly hiding a few crystal cores while digging. With so many zombies, the Easterner wouldn't notice a few less.
But James's words directly strangled their thoughts completely. In the end, they still had to count the numbers, how many bodies and how many crystal cores, how could they hide them? This bargain was definitely not to be had…
