Chapter 124 Brainwashing

There was indeed no one in the RV. After searching around, Li Chenzhou got out of the car. He frowned as he looked at the child soldiers who had laid down their weapons and gathered together. He looked at Lin Qiang and asked,

"Who are these people?"

"They are orphans I adopted and raised since they were young. I trained them to be soldiers!"

Lin Qiang didn't hide anything. At this point, he didn't want anything but to live. Even if Li Chenzhou asked him for the child soldiers, he would agree without hesitation.

"Orphans? Where did so many orphans come from?"

Li Chenzhou sneered.

"This… some are real orphans, some… some are…"

Lin Qiang looked at Li Chenzhou's murderous eyes, then at the child soldiers, and finally gritted his teeth and said,

"Some… are children left behind after I wiped out the families of people who stood in my way or had conflicts with me!"

Because they were nearby, the child soldiers clearly heard Lin Qiang's words. They all looked at Lin Qiang. Their eyes, which had been somewhat dazed by Li Chenzhou's attacks, became somewhat blank.

They had always been instilled with the idea that Lin Qiang raised them, that Lin Qiang was their father, and that their existence was for Lin Qiang. They even had to protect Lin Qiang with their lives when necessary.

But now, what did they hear? Some of them were turned into orphans by Lin Qiang, and Lin Qiang was the enemy who wiped out their families and killed their parents???

While Lin Qiang was speaking, Li Chenzhou was paying attention to the eyes of the child soldiers. He found that after Lin Qiang finished speaking, the eyes of the child soldiers were mostly shocked and blank. In those eyes, Li Chenzhou didn't see hatred…

Although Lin Qiang raised them, their biological parents were likely killed by Lin Qiang. How could they not have any hatred for Lin Qiang?

He looked at the child soldiers, then at Lin Qiang. Li Chenzhou shook his head and said softly,

"It seems that your brainwashing method is really good!"

"Perhaps, they just don't know how to survive!"

Lin Qiang looked at his remaining hundred or so child soldiers and smiled self-deprecatingly,

"They have lived in the training camp since they were young. Apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping, they only trained. They have never lived a normal life.

They are used to doing things according to orders. This was the case before and after the apocalypse. Only when an order is given do they know what to do.

People like them don't know where to go if they leave. So, even if they heard my words, they would only think that they are real orphans. After all, I just said that some of them are indeed real orphans."

"That's the method you use to control them, right?"

Li Chenzhou shook his head, then waved his hand and said,

"Come in, tell me what you know, so I can measure whether the information you provide is enough to exchange for your life!"

Lin Qiang didn't dare to say anything, let alone refuse. He obediently followed Li Chenzhou into the war chariot.

Outside, the child soldiers who watched Lin Qiang enter the war chariot were still at a loss, their faces full of complex expressions, but mostly confusion…

"This…"

After entering the living room of the war chariot, Lin Qiang was shocked. He knew that there must be space inside the war chariot, but he didn't expect this space to be so big! Moreover, the layout inside looked like a mansion.

Unfortunately, Lin Qiang had no desire to possess this war chariot now, even though there were only Li Chenzhou and him in the living room.

"Speak, what is your secret!"

Li Chenzhou threw himself on the sofa and looked at Lin Qiang.

"It's those people who cooperate with me. You should be able to see that they are very… special!"

Lin Qiang said,

"If you take off their headgear, you will see that their hair is white! And… they are like vampires, they can suck people's blood! People who have their blood sucked will die, and they will die looking extremely old!"

"They are Devourers. They don't suck blood, but human vitality. They eat it!"

Li Chenzhou said lightly,

"You don't need to tell me about the Devourers. I think I should know more than you, for example… they brought the apocalypse to our world!!!"

"What?"

Lin Qiang looked at Li Chenzhou in shock. Although he knew that the Devourers were very strong and probably not creatures from this planet, he didn't expect that even this apocalypse was caused by those white-haired guys.

"Tell me how you met them. Also, why do those Devourers listen to your commands!"

Li Chenzhou was not interested in explaining everything about the Devourers to Lin Qiang. He asked directly.

"Well… we shouldn't have met them. The Devourers took the initiative to find me!"

Lin Qiang quickly recalled and then told all about his experience with the Devourers, without any concealment.

He just wanted to live now. As for the matter between him and the Devourers, it was not a secret. As for why the Devourers listened to his orders, he also said his guess:

"Because it's just a cooperative relationship, the Devourers need to mix with my people to hide their identities. Moreover, I will provide them with… provide them with some living people.

In return, they can provide me with a large number of mutant crystals for my people to upgrade. In fact, in the process of cooperation between our two parties, they are the ones who take the initiative.

Because there are not only my bases for humans, but also others. Without me, they can find other bases to seek cooperation.

If I didn't have them, I wouldn't be able to obtain a large number of mutant crystals so easily. So, I am basically acting according to their orders!

As for why those Devourers listened to me later, I think it should be because your sniper killed all the managers of the Devourers in the previous snipes. The remaining Devourers are all slaves. So, they are just following the orders left by those previous managers to cooperate with me. It's not that I can really command them!"

"The orders left by the previous high-level Devourers?"

Li Chenzhou scratched his chin and muttered…
