Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 687 We Deliver!
In the end, they all left. When they left, their expressions varied. Some had already decided to join, while others were hesitant.
Without a doubt, this small world within the war fortress was indeed the most suitable place for humans to live. However, joining meant that some of them would have to go out and fight the Devourers.
Regarding contributions to the small world, Hong Li had already formulated a detailed charter. Those who had just entered the small world, except for a few who were familiar with Li Chenzhou, were all assigned to collective dormitories, with eight people per room.
Of course, if they were from other bases, the leaders and high-level personnel could receive preferential treatment, but only up to ten people. They could freely choose the size of their residence, but the limit was a standard for ten people.
After that, if they wanted to leave the collective dormitory, they would need to use contribution points to exchange for it. In the small world, contribution points were equivalent to currency in the real world. Various jobs would earn contribution points, and this was calculated by the intelligent brain, so there would be absolutely no errors.
There were many job opportunities in the small world. Whether it was farming or animal husbandry, manpower was needed. In addition, other factories such as food factories, seasoning factories, and clothing factories had also been built in the small world. After all, it was necessary to be self-sufficient, so the factories that existed in normal society were all available here.
Working in these factories earned contribution points, similar to wages. Eating, drinking, and other necessities in the small world also consumed contribution points. In a nutshell, it was no different from a normal world. It did not support idlers; if you wanted to survive, you had to work.
If you wanted to earn more contribution points, there were channels for that too. Joining the military was the best channel, but it was also dangerous, and you might have to go to the Duoluo World to fight the Devourers.
If you didn't want to join the military, you could also go outside and capture some mutated beasts or aquatic creatures that could be raised, or kill zombies to collect mutated crystal cores. After returning, you could also exchange them for a large number of contribution points.
In short, the system of the small world was basically complete. After understanding it, the base leaders felt that it was quite good. At least, this system could make people feel like they had returned to the world of the past, without the feeling of the apocalypse.
For those hesitant leaders, their problem was that although they would receive preferential treatment when they entered, they could obtain ten ordinary residential places, but there were no other preferential treatments.
In other words, if they wanted to live here, they would also have to work and earn contribution points. For those who were already accustomed to being high and mighty, it was difficult for them to accept going to work in factories and becoming ordinary people again like before the apocalypse!
If they didn't want to be ordinary people, they could naturally join the military. The reason why joining the military was said to be the best was because after joining the army, as long as they passed the training, all weapons, equipment, and evolution potions would be provided for free.
If they didn't join the military, they would have to use contribution points to purchase these things, and even space chariots could be bought, but the contribution points required were not affordable for ordinary people.
Therefore, after those leaders joined, all their previous privileges were gone. Even if they were timid and didn't dare to join the military, and only relied on work to support themselves, and didn't have any other special skills, they might live worse than their former subordinates in the future.
This was unacceptable to everyone. If a high and mighty person came to a brand new environment and started from scratch, that would be acceptable. However, many familiar people around them, even those who used to respectfully call them "Boss" when they saw them, were now their superiors. This was quite embarrassing.
Therefore, the ordinary people were easy to deal with. Only those base leaders, if they came here, if they didn't want to be embarrassed in the future, there was actually only one path left: join the army and risk their lives against the Devourers.
Therefore, some base leaders felt that it was better to maintain the status quo. Anyway, even if they didn't come to the small world, they wouldn't starve to death in their bases, and they still ruled so many people!
However, if they decided to do so, they couldn't let the people in their bases know about this place. Otherwise, for those ordinary survivors, if there was such a good place, they would definitely all come running.
This was the apocalypse. The survivors in the bases didn't have any loyalty to speak of. They would stay in the bases and obey their management just to survive.
Therefore, those base leaders who were prepared to stay in their own bases and not join here were now regretting it in their hearts. If they had known it would be like this, they shouldn't have come, or rather, they should have come alone without bringing those followers.
Now, not only did they know about the small world, but the followers they brought also knew about it. They were leaders, so they couldn't let go of their power, but their followers didn't have such concerns at all!
In the original base, they were also managed by the leader. And coming to the small world? They were still managed by the leader. The only difference was that the leader was different. This was not important to them at all.
Changing a leader would allow them to enter such a good small world. How could those followers not be tempted?
"It seems that when we go back, we must take some measures to shut these guys up!"
So, those leaders began to calculate in their hearts how to solve this problem.
Some leaders simply decided to kill all their followers directly, and then, when they returned to the base, they would say that it was a trap, and that Li Chenzhou and the others had killed those followers.
In this way, it could be said to kill two birds with one stone. One was to shut up their followers so that no one except themselves would know about the small world. The other was to make the survivors in the base feel that Li Chenzhou and the others were not good people, and they would not dare to contact them at all. Their base, and their position, could also be preserved.
As for the Devourers… anyway, Li Chenzhou and the others were going to fight the Devourers, so let them go. When it was their turn, they would have to wait until Li Chenzhou and the others were all dead, right?
During this time, they should enjoy themselves, wouldn't that be better than anything else?
So, after visiting the small world for a while and thoroughly understanding it, whether they wanted to join or not, all the base leaders were ready to leave.
Those who joined wanted to go back and mobilize the people in their bases to come as soon as possible. Those who didn't join wanted to quickly solve their own problems, stabilize their bases, and conceal the existence of the small world.
"Everyone, because you were all summoned by us, we will send you back in special cars when you leave. These are the space chariots we mentioned earlier. You can also experience the benefits of this kind of car in advance! This is what we should do, you don't have to be polite!"
Just as the leaders were preparing to leave together and let Li Chenzhou teleport them out, Li Chenzhou told them the above news with a smile. Immediately, the faces of those base leaders who didn't want to join all darkened…
