Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 327 A Rare Moment of Leisure
The following day, Li Chenzhou's team did nothing but relax.
Duan Xue, on the other hand, stayed busy with Qingluan and the others, while Li Chenzhou and his team drove to the shore of Qian Yuan Lake, taking Xiaoya fishing.
"Aquatic creatures don't mutate?"
Seeing that the carp he had caught didn't seem to have changed much, Gray Bear couldn't help but ask.
"Aquatic creatures also mutate, but it's rare. Maybe water has a weakening effect on the Hell Silk!"
Li Chenzhou replied, "So, generally, the vicinity of lakes or rivers is a good place to build a base because you can also use aquatic creatures like fish and shrimp as a food supplement!"
"In that case, this Qian Yuan Lake Resort is indeed a rather ideal base!" Fatty said with a sigh, staring at his float.
"Yeah! This place is really good; I'm starting to like it here!" Tian Ya also said, while looking at the people fishing by the lake, and then at Xiaoya, who was pushing a stroller and running around, "It seems that after entering the apocalypse, this is the first time I've had such a leisurely mood! And, looking at the surrounding environment, there's no apocalyptic atmosphere at all! It's great!"
Tian Ya's words made everyone nod. Although they were lucky to have met Li Chenzhou and become his followers, they could be said to be thousands of times better off than other survivors.
But after all, this was the apocalypse. All they saw every day were zombies, corpses, limbs, and bloody filth. Everyone's nerves were constantly tense, and no one could bear it for long.
But now, by the lake in the resort, there were no zombies, no bloodstains. Everyone was fishing together, and Duan Lei even brought out a gas stove, which basically meant they were having a picnic. This made everyone feel great.
Listening to their chat and seeing the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces, Li Chenzhou also sighed inwardly. He also knew that such relaxation was good, and he had also thought about such a life.
Moreover, with their current reserves, they could actually support themselves here for a few years!
Unfortunately, because of the shadow of the Devourer, Li Chenzhou couldn't choose leisure. Such days could be enjoyed occasionally, but their main priority was still to kill frantically and improve themselves as quickly as possible!
Because he had tested that the level of foreign creatures like the Corpse Demon was linked to the level of his own side, Li Chenzhou was no longer focusing on levels. He was paying more attention to those war machines.
The war machines in the Slaughter Mall were also quite powerful. For example, the flying war fortress could not only fly, but its defense was also quite strong, and the firepower it carried was incredibly powerful. With this thing, they would basically be invincible.
But the problem was, the price of this thing… was simply indescribable. Li Chenzhou didn't even have the courage to count that long string of numbers.
He even suspected that even if he killed all the zombies on the entire planet, he wouldn't be able to collect enough Slaughter Points to exchange for this war fortress.
But in any case, taking advantage of this day of leisure, Li Chenzhou carefully studied the Slaughter Mall, and also called Duan Lei to show him the goods in the mall. Then, the two of them discussed together and finally formulated a direction.
Qingluan and Li Jing, Li Meng, and the others had been busy in the resort. They gathered all the survivors in the resort together, redistributed them, and also formulated some rules.
Xu Kai, Liu Tao, and Wang Zhanyou had also been busy following them. These three were the soldiers, after all, Li Chenzhou had asked them to follow Qingluan in front of her, so Qingluan naturally accepted them directly.
In the process of gathering the survivors, they naturally encountered a lot of resistance, because the survivors in the resort knew the identities of Qingluan and the other girls.
In their opinion, Qingluan and the others were just playthings. How could they obediently obey such people?
However, Qingluan, who had become an Awakened, was quite decisive. She directly controlled two strong men who were rude and even planned to take advantage of her, then broke their limbs and hung them in front of everyone.
This completely shocked the other survivors, and Qingluan's integration of the resort became smoother. During this period, Liu Jinshan stayed in the commercial street staring blankly at those "walking corpses", ignoring anyone who called him, while the soldiers under him were divided into three factions.
One faction was called away by Xu Kai and the others to integrate the resort with Qingluan, which was considered to be separated from Liu Jinshan and officially joined Qingluan's side.
Another faction chose to leave. They were preparing to return to the military camp, after all, there were also many survivors there. Although the environment was not as good as here, they could barely survive.
Finally, there were only more than twenty soldiers who still stayed with Liu Jinshan, accompanying him and never abandoning him!
It wasn't until evening that Qingluan and the others finally finished. Because of the power of the three Awakened, Qingluan, Li Meng, and Li Jing, plus the assistance of soldiers like Xu Kai, all the survivors in the entire resort finally compromised and moved into the new dormitories according to Qingluan's arrangements.
Qingluan took a hotel as a dormitory, because there were only more than eight hundred survivors in the entire Qian Yuan Lake Resort now, not counting the five hundred walking corpses in the commercial street.
A hotel could completely accommodate these people, which would also make it easier to manage. As for those villas, they could only be left empty for now.
Everything Qingluan did also surprised Li Chenzhou, because Qingluan did it too well. She directly registered all the survivors, wrote down all their strengths, and then allocated manpower according to this.
Qingluan divided the eight hundred people into many groups, each responsible for different tasks:
Reclamation Group: Responsible for reclamation and planting.
Fishery Group: Responsible for fishing aquatic products.
Engineering Group: Responsible for various renovations of the resort, and to dig a water diversion channel, and dig a large pond inside the resort for aquaculture!
Logistics Group: Responsible for managing and distributing various materials, and the daily food is also the responsibility of the Logistics Group to make and distribute.
Combat Group: Responsible for entering the city to fight and defend the resort.
Rescue Group: Assist the combat group, enter the city to collect resources, and rescue survivors.
In addition to these six groups of people, the children in the commercial street were also properly arranged. Qingluan specially opened a villa for them, gathered all the children together, and let Zhang Li and some women take care of them.
Although this arrangement was not particularly perfect, it at least had the prototype of a base. Li Chenzhou believed that Qingluan was indeed capable of managing this super large base.
However, after all these things were dealt with, the biggest problem was placed in front of Qingluan, that is, the five hundred walking corpses in the commercial street…
