Chapter 1 Is This a Game?

"Do you feel like this is a game? Those things in the cities are players, and we… we are the monsters in the game?"

Li Chenzhou laughed:

"The reason why the situation in each city is different is because those players have chosen different races or strategies. And now, it's their newbie period, and they are all developing on their own! Right?"

"..."

The fatty was a little stunned, then nodded repeatedly!

To be honest, the fatty really felt like this was a strategy game. The creatures in the city were players who had just entered the game, and their base was in the central area of the city.

Now, they needed to develop first, build various buildings, and train soldiers. When they reached a certain strength, they would start plundering the surrounding areas, and they were the wild monsters in the game, providing experience and… various equipment or resources for those players to hunt!

Tian Ya grew up in an orphanage and naturally had no chance to play games. He just looked at Li Chenzhou and the fatty blankly. Li Chenzhou patted the fatty's shoulder:

"No matter what this is, this is our world, and those guys are invaders. So, we just need to kill them, no need to think too much! Understand?"

"Yes, Boss!"

A hint of ferocity suddenly appeared on the fatty's face. He was angered by his previous words. Damn it, he actually became a wild monster? You could at least let me be an NPC!

"Let's go, I'll introduce you to the others here!"

Li Chenzhou looked at the survivors fleeing in the distance below and shook his head.

"Boss, who are those guys?"

Tian Ya asked curiously.

He had speculated before, but the fatty completely rejected it, and he was a little unconvinced.

"They are also people from this base!"

Li Chenzhou said amusingly:

"I placed the War Fortress here so that these survivors could enter the small world. Then, when I teleported them, these guys didn't cooperate and were left outside!

I guess they thought I had bad intentions and wanted to kill them. When I just came out, they were all hiding, probably afraid that I would catch them all and kill them!"

"Boss, you teleported all the people from this base into the small world, and then you came out by yourself?"

The fatty looked around and then asked.

"That's right!"

Li Chenzhou nodded.

"Haha! No wonder!"

The fatty suddenly laughed:

"You got rid of everyone, and then only you reappeared. The others were nowhere to be seen. If it were me, I would also think that you killed all those guys!"

"Who cares what they think! Anyway, the first time I teleported them into the small world, they refused, so I won't let them enter the small world again!"

Li Chenzhou said indifferently:

"Alright, don't worry about them, let's go!"

With that, Li Chenzhou moved his mind and took Tian Ya and the fatty into the control room of the War Fortress.

"Hey? I just can't figure it out. It's fine if these guys don't dare to enter the fortress, but you should have at least stayed in the base and waited. After we went out, we could explain it to them, wouldn't that be the end of it? Why are they running now?"

When Li Chenzhou and the others appeared in the control room, they happened to see Director Gao and his subordinates were gathered in front of the control console, searching for information about the War Fortress.

Coincidentally, when they were trying to switch the screen, they saw those survivors running away in all directions. One of Director Gao's subordinates said with disappointment.

"I guess… they must have thought that the fortress was going to be bad for them, so they ran away!"

Another person replied.

"Is the Lord outside? Why doesn't he stop these people and explain it to them? If they just run away like this, it's so dangerous outside, won't they be dead?"

The first person who spoke couldn't help but complain.

"Xiao Cheng, can you speak? Why would the Lord stop them and explain it to them?"

Director Gao's face darkened as soon as he heard this person's words:

"To enter this fortress, the mayor agreed. They refused, which means they also refused the mayor. Since they chose their own path, they can naturally go wherever they want. What does it have to do with the Lord?

The Lord isn't their anything, and doesn't owe them anything. He gave them a chance, and they gave it up themselves, so no one can blame anyone! Even if they run out and encounter zombies or someone, and are killed, that's their own choice!"

"But… the Lord is so capable. He could save them with just a word. The Lord just ignores them. Isn't that a bit cold-blooded?"

Although that person saw Director Gao's gloomy face, he still retorted with some dissatisfaction:

"No matter what, they are still our people. Maybe that's why the Lord doesn't care about their life or death at all. Maybe, the Lord doesn't even care about our life or death!"

"Xiao Cheng, are these words you want to say yourself, or did someone ask you to say them?"

Director Gao looked at Xiao Cheng and asked with narrowed eyes.

"I… I wanted to say it myself. How could… how could anyone ask me to say it? No, that's just what I thought!"

Xiao Cheng suddenly froze, and then answered stutteringly.

"Okay, you don't want to say it, right?"

Director Gao looked at Xiao Cheng and suddenly sneered, then waved his hand:

"Take him down!"

Several people next to Director Gao immediately rushed up, grabbed Xiao Cheng, and took away his weapon.

"Haha! I didn't expect there to be a good show to watch here!"

The fatty sat on the sofa, holding a bottle of drink in his hand, and said with glee as he looked at the big screen.

When they teleported over, Li Chenzhou and the others appeared behind Director Gao and the others, so they didn't notice Li Chenzhou and the others.

After hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Li Chenzhou immediately teleported again, and the three of them came to the room Li Chenzhou had chosen for himself! Then, Li Chenzhou switched the big screen to the control room, and the three of them watched the show together.

Li Chenzhou wanted to see how Director Gao and the others would handle this matter.

Now, Duan Lei didn't have time to come here to help Li Chenzhou identify which of these people were trustworthy, so Li Chenzhou could only judge for himself, and now was a good opportunity to at least understand Director Gao.

In Jin Shi Base, Director Gao was the only ability user besides Mayor Zhu Haitao. Although he was only a level one enhancer, he was at least in the top three in this base. Moreover, he was also Zhu Haitao's deputy, so his attitude towards Li Chenzhou was quite important...
