"If we want true safety for humanity, we can't just find a safe place to build a base and then eke out a living!"

Facing Zhu Haitao's question, Li Chenzhou replied with a smile:

"If we want to take back our world, we must eliminate the zombies. And to do that, we must first understand our enemy!"

As he spoke, Li Chenzhou pointed in the direction of Jin City:

"Don't you think those zombies are strange? Isn't it worth understanding them better?"

Li Chenzhou didn't directly tell Zhu Haitao about the Devourers. First, he didn't plan to have Zhu Haitao participate in combat. People like him were better off being thrown directly into the small world to oversee its operation!

Of course, Li Chenzhou would still draw some people from the Jin City base into the army. This was a must, and he had to discuss it with Zhu Haitao before the takeover!

"You want to... completely restore this world?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Zhu Haitao was shocked.

He never imagined that this young man, barely twenty years old, would have such grand ambitions! Saving the world?

Thinking of himself, a mayor, only wanting to lead the people of Jin City to a secluded corner, eking out a living, he felt ashamed compared to this youth, whose face still held a trace of innocence.

Regardless of whether Li Chenzhou's ideal could be realized, at least he was thinking and acting on it, and that was enough.

He thought of how Li Chenzhou had saved so many people in Qing City, established those bases, then owned a base in Qi City, and now was about to establish a large base in Jin City as well.

All he was doing was not for his own power, but for the sake of his ideal!!!

Zhu Haitao's gaze towards Li Chenzhou had changed, becoming somewhat complicated. Li Chenzhou didn't notice, and simply looked at Zhu Haitao and smiled:

"Does this goal seem very arduous?"

He stood up, adjusted the window's display to show Jin City, and pointed, saying:

"Actually, I don't know how far I can go, but I will do my best, because I don't want us humans to forever share our world with zombies.

I especially don't want our next generation to grow up under the roars and fear of zombies. We were unlucky enough to encounter the apocalypse, so it's best to let this apocalypse end with our generation, and not pass this bad luck on!"

"Alright! Then let's do it here. What do you want to do? Tell me, and I will fully cooperate!"

Zhu Haitao took a deep breath and asked solemnly!

"You just keep doing what you were doing before!"

Li Chenzhou said with a smile, pointing outside:

"Manage the base well, so that it can operate normally and be self-sufficient. You can treat the base as Jin City to govern!

As for combat, you don't need to participate. I don't think you're a combat-type talent. Of course, we need soldiers, so we still need to select people from the base, and pick out those with strong combat abilities to join the army!"

"You don't need me to fight?"

Zhu Haitao was stunned.

He was still a Tier 2 Enhancer, after all. Although he knew that Li Chenzhou was stronger than him, how many Enhancers were there?

Their entire base used a lot of resources to trade for mutant crystal cores, and only produced him, a Tier 2, and another Tier 1 Enhancer. So he was very clear on how scarce ability users were.

Originally, Li Chenzhou had said from the beginning that Zhu Haitao could join their base. Zhu Haitao didn't know that at that time, Li Chenzhou was only testing him, to see if he would immediately abandon his own base because of it!

Zhu Haitao thought at the time that Li Chenzhou was planning to incorporate him into the combat force, to make use of his Tier 2 Enhancer strength!

Unfortunately, Zhu Haitao didn't know that Li Chenzhou really didn't think much of his Tier 2 Enhancer status. With Li Chenzhou's current slaughter points, if he wanted, he could even turn everyone in the Jin City base, plus the Mountain Villa base, into Tier 3 Awakeners.

Therefore, after seeing Zhu Haitao's surprised expression, Li Chenzhou laughed:

"Of course, you don't need to fight. I said, you're not a combat-type talent. I believe you know that yourself! Sending you to the army? Anyone with a little bit of brains wouldn't do that!

People should stand in the positions they are best suited for, so that they can exert their greatest abilities. It's like a nut. Tightening it on a screw to stabilize the machine is making the best use of it. If you hang it on a fishhook to go fishing, will there be any gain?

Your ability is as a mayor, governing the base. So you only need to be responsible for what you are good at. While building the base, help me transport some manpower. That's what you need to do!"

"Alright! No problem!"

Zhu Haitao nodded and said:

"As long as you can guarantee the safety of the base, I can definitely build this place into a base that surpasses the Mountain Villa base! But... those guys might come here at any time. Can you and this car stop them? We're not sure about their strength yet!"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Li Chenzhou said with a chuckle, and then also looked at the base outside:

"Moreover, what I want you to build is not this base. This place... is too bad, and there's always a unique stench of the apocalypse. Haven't you smelled it?"

"Everywhere has that smell now!"

Zhu Haitao shook his head and said:

"Moreover, you said you wanted to build a base in Jin City. Frankly speaking, the best location to build a base around Jin City is probably here, so I don't recommend changing the location of the base!"

"I didn't say to change the location. And, you can keep this base. People who are rescued can be placed in this base first, and then transferred to the main base when you think they are ready!"

Li Chenzhou said with a smile:

"As for the main base... do you remember what I said before about inner spaces like this?"

"Inner space? Of course, I remember!"

Zhu Haitao looked around somewhat blankly:

"But... such a small place can't accommodate many people at all. And, I think I need to remind you that a base doesn't just need a place to live.

To be self-sufficient, we need enough farmland to grow grain and vegetables. I have seeds here, and I'm also organizing them to reclaim farmland. Some places have even started planting!"

"Trust me, I will give you everything you want. And that place is more beautiful, safer, and has fresh, stench-free air!"

Li Chenzhou came to Zhu Haitao, patted him on the shoulder and said...
