Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 626 The City Lord Who Loves Zombie Movies

"They should be grateful to have a mayor like you!"

Li Chenzhou looked at the busy survivors.

"No, I should be grateful!"

Zhu Haitao shook his head gently, his face黯然 and said:

"If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I would have died on the night the apocalypse began!"

Saying that, Zhu Haitao looked in the direction of Jin City:

"I am the mayor, so my home is in the most prosperous area of the city center, and that place is now the world of zombies!

When the apocalypse began, I was hosting a meeting in the development zone, and my wife and children were waiting for me at home to have dinner together!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Haitao stopped talking, seeming unwilling to recall that memory.

However, with the previous sentence, Li Chenzhou probably knew what was going on. Since his home was in the area where the zombie tide gathered, then even if he was the mayor, it was impossible to rescue his wife and children.

Perhaps, it is because he lost his family that this Mayor Zhu has now abandoned his identity as a husband and father, and only retains the profession of mayor. Without a family, he treats all the citizens as his family!

It is precisely because of his existence that this base seems so special. Although there are no high-end combat forces stationed here, looking at the expressions on the faces of the survivors inside, you can know that they are living here with hope.

Afterwards, Li Chenzhou still learned from Zhu Haitao the general process of how this base was established.

When the apocalypse came, only a dozen mutated zombies appeared beside Zhu Haitao. After seeing these zombies, Zhu Haitao immediately thought of the zombie movies he liked to watch the most, so he decisively ordered the security personnel around him to kill them all.

The mayor spoke, and the security personnel naturally had no scruples. They killed all the zombies in just a few minutes. During this period, one of Zhu Haitao's entourage was bitten.

Zhu Haitao immediately ordered that person to be tied to a chair and forbade others from approaching. Then, he ordered the security personnel to lead the other adult men to rescue people nearby.

Moreover, Zhu Haitao also granted them sufficient authority to freely kill all people with strange behavior!

It was precisely because of Zhu Haitao's order that his security personnel suffered no casualties in performing the tasks he assigned. Moreover, because of his care, these people were very careful. Not only did they immediately kill the zombies when they saw them, but they also did not allow the injured to approach them, so none of them were bitten by zombies.

Just when those security guards were carrying out Zhu Haitao's mission and rescuing people around, the bitten person tied to the chair mutated and became a zombie. Looking at this bared fangs and brandishing claws, even with his mouth stuffed, he was still constantly roaring in his throat. Zhu Haitao finally confirmed that the scenes in the zombie movies he often watched had truly descended upon his world.

So, Zhu Haitao immediately recalled the actions taken by the protagonists in those movies, and also removed some of the mentally retarded behaviors that he often complained about when he was watching the movies. Then, he led the people who participated in the meeting and the survivors who had just been rescued, and began a great escape.

In the beginning, Zhu Haitao was going home to save his wife and children, and because all the decisions Zhu Haitao had made before proved to be absolutely correct, none of the people who followed him objected!

Of course, Zhu Haitao did not explicitly say that he was going home to save his family. At this time, if he dared to say that, others would immediately think of saving their own family, and then everyone would not have to leave.

So, Zhu Haitao did not explain, just told everyone to follow him closely, not to fall behind, and to obey orders!

No one in the team objected. One was that Zhu Haitao's previous orders had not gone wrong, and the other was that he was still the mayor. At the beginning of the apocalypse, this identity was still quite useful. And the third point was those security personnel who absolutely obeyed Zhu Haitao's orders. They were all carrying guns!

These people were not afraid that the security personnel would shoot them. Zhu Haitao would not issue such an order unless they were courting death themselves.

But now it is the apocalypse, who doesn't want to be in a strong team? The eight guys with guns, and the mayor who reacted the fastest after the apocalypse came and immediately directed everyone to avoid the initial crisis, as if he had experienced the apocalypse, were undoubtedly their best reliance.

So, a total of about one hundred and twenty survivors, under the leadership of Zhu Haitao, marched towards the city center in a mighty manner.

Along the way, they followed Zhu Haitao's orders, collected many vehicles, formed a motorcade, and continued to gather survivors along the way, and the team was constantly growing!

Zhu Haitao was quite a good official. After knowing that this team was his team, all the survivors were willing to join and were quite obedient to the command.

However, even under such circumstances, Zhu Haitao still failed to complete his plan to save his family.

Because when he kept driving the motorcade towards the city center, Zhu Haitao found that the zombies were also marching in the same direction as him.

Zhu Haitao realized something, he couldn't help but panic, their motorcade had now become retrograde, and in many cases, retrograde people were worthy of praise, because most of them could be called heroes.

But this kind of retrograde depends on the situation. When the zombies are obviously gathering towards their destination, it would be foolish to insist on the previous decision.

If Zhu Haitao was just himself at this time, then he definitely wouldn't mind being foolish, after all, that was his wife and children, but the problem was, there was still a mighty motorcade behind him!

At that time, at least two thousand people had gathered in the motorcade. These people were all survivors who trusted Zhu Haitao and believed that he could lead them to find a way out, and were willing to follow him.

Even if some of them had already discovered that their direction of travel was the same as the zombies, and there were still many people who were fleeing in the opposite direction from them, they still did not stop, and still followed closely behind Zhu Haitao.

Looking back at the long, endless motorcade, looking at those pairs of eyes full of fear and bewilderment, helplessly looking at him, Zhu Haitao suddenly found that his heart had also begun to become confused. He didn't know what kind of choice he should make next…
