Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 678 Fickle Hearts

"Let's go. The small world is like this. You can slowly learn about it from Xiao Qing. I'll take you to see the fortress!"

Li Chenzhou said to Hongli, because this war fortress was entirely entrusted to Hongli. Therefore, he naturally needed to be informed about the fortress. Although he could directly ask Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing wouldn't proactively mention certain details that needed attention.

After all, Xiao Qing was just an AI. No matter how advanced, it couldn't be as comprehensive as a human. Moreover, it would only answer questions that you actively raised.

Bringing Hongli to the fortress's central control room, Li Chenzhou told him some things to watch out for. Hongli was very serious, taking a tablet and writing down everything Li Chenzhou said. Afterwards, he proactively asked many questions, and Li Chenzhou answered them one by one.

It took more than three hours for Hongli to roughly understand the war fortress. He seemed very cautious. After all, he would be in control of this war fortress in the future, and a single oversight could cause a major problem.

Moreover, the difference between a war fortress and an ordinary base was that the small world was very safe. As long as the war fortress wasn't breached, the small world would definitely be fine.

But the disadvantage was also here. Once the war fortress was breached, the people in the small world wouldn't have any chance to escape, because the entire small world would be torn apart when the fortress was destroyed, the entire space collapsing. Naturally, everyone inside would die, with no chance of survival.

Although it was said that everyone could be teleported out when the war fortress was about to fail, the problem was that the teleportation could only transport people within the energy shield's protection range, which was still right next to the war fortress.

If the enemy could shatter the war fortress, how could the area around the war fortress be safe?

Therefore, Hongli was very concerned about the war fortress's safety. He would ask about anything he didn't understand, not pretending to know. At the same time, he would directly bring up anything he couldn't decide, letting Li Chenzhou give his opinion.

After explaining all the precautions for the war fortress and answering Hongli's questions, Li Chenzhou finally decided to leave. He still had to go to the other bases. After the chemical factory base, their team later helped establish seven or eight more bases, and Li Chenzhou had to visit all of them.

So, when the war fortress was about to reach Qing City, Li Chenzhou left the war fortress. Before leaving, he reiterated to Hongli to not approach the city center.

He couldn't let that guy see the war fortress in advance, or what would he do if he felt he couldn't win and ran away?

In addition, he couldn't let other survivors see this war fortress. Li Chenzhou planned to unveil the war fortress three days later, when everyone was present.

Hongli agreed one by one. In the end, he didn't even drive the war fortress into Qing City, but stopped outside Qing City. After dropping off Li Chenzhou, he raised the fortress and flew towards the nearest sea.

Hongli planned to catch some marine life in the sea. This had to be done with the war fortress, because some deep-sea fish couldn't be away from the seawater for too long. Even now, with the vitality of various organisms strengthened, they still couldn't survive on land for long.

Driving the war fortress over, catching them, and directly throwing them into the small world's sea would eliminate the worry of them dying. As for collecting resources in the city, Hongli sent five of his men to do it.

For this, he specifically asked Li Chenzhou for five more space combat vehicles. The combat capability of space combat vehicles wasn't as good as that of tanks, but the internal space was larger, and expanding them was cheaper than tanks. Collecting supplies was of course most suitable with these.

Li Chenzhou also drove away in his original tank. Having learned from Wang Zifeng's lesson, Li Chenzhou felt that it was better for him to drive.

Although even without the tank, with the war fog and fatal raid, few people in this world could kill Li Chenzhou, it was better to be careful just in case.

In the following two days, Li Chenzhou visited all the bases they had supported, feeling that it was just so-so. Out of a total of eight bases, only three still remembered his kindness and were willing to follow his lead.

Among the other five, three were very polite, but the alienation was obvious to everyone. They were clearly treating Li Chenzhou as a guest, and they expressed this in their words.

Their meaning was that Li Chenzhou had saved them in the beginning and helped them establish their bases. They still remembered this favor. Therefore, if Li Chenzhou had any difficulties, they could provide resources and weapons, and even send out combat teams to help.

However, it was impossible for Li Chenzhou to want to control their bases. They were the masters of these bases. They wouldn't even agree if Li Chenzhou wanted to stay in the bases, because many people in the bases also remembered the kindness of Li Chenzhou and his team, and keeping Li Chenzhou in the bases would definitely be a huge hidden danger.

Li Chenzhou didn't care about such bases. He only told them the time and place for the gathering, and emphasized that a major event would happen that day. They had better go and see it for themselves, otherwise they might be eliminated by this world.

After delivering the message, Li Chenzhou didn't stay any longer and left directly, which relieved the leaders of these bases. But afterwards, they were all puzzled. They didn't know what Li Chenzhou was going to do, why he said that most of the bases around Qing City would go at that time, and that bases that didn't go might be eliminated soon?

He actually wanted to kill that terrifying guy in the center of Qing City? Did he have the ability to do so?

Therefore, the leaders of these three bases also decided that they must go and see. Anyway, if they felt that something was wrong, they could just come back. If they didn't go and see, they really couldn't rest assured.

As for the remaining two bases, they were a bit too much. They actually blocked Li Chenzhou outside the base. The leader Duan Lei had supported thought that Li Chenzhou was trying to take over his base, so he refused to let him in.

Li Chenzhou sighed inwardly at this. Duan Lei's ability was indeed heaven-defying, but it wasn't absolutely foolproof, because people's hearts were the most fickle. In the beginning, they might have been grateful to Li Chenzhou and his team from the bottom of their hearts, so Duan Lei saw them all as green.

However, after such a long time, and after controlling a base for so long, their mentality had also changed. At least, they were unwilling to easily give up the power in their hands...
