The sun had just risen, and there was still a faint, hazy blue fog floating in the sky.
While people were still sleeping soundly, the hunting team formed by the City of Silver had already gathered outside the gates of the City of Silver.
In the battle between the City of Silver and Order, countless experts had died. The leading Legendary expert had been completely annihilated. In addition to the series of clean-up operations after entering the city, the number of remaining professionals was less than a hundred. And for a city with a population of close to a million, this was an extremely small number.
Be it distributing food or eliminating evil for the people, Chen Feng had risen to a new peak in the hearts of the people!
And to establish a faction, it wasn't just the commoners, but also the native ruling class like professionals.
Chen Feng naturally wouldn't execute all of them. After all, they were extremely familiar with everything in the City of Silver. Keeping them alive would help him rule this place faster.
Kindness?
No.
Everything Chen Feng had done was done so that the people here would be able to find a place to belong to as soon as possible, turning them into his believers.
As for this hunt, apart from eliminating the monsters that were occupying the surroundings and affecting the lives of the people, the most important point of this hunt was to allow Chen Feng to make an evaluation of the remaining professionals. He would be able to see if there were any talents among them, or if there were any useless idiots among them.
No matter when or where, Chen Feng's most insistent statement was that if you wanted to be rich, you had to first build a path!
And in the apocalypse, what Chen Feng wanted to build was a safe path that led to the end. As for those who resisted on both sides of the path and in the middle, they would all be executed to prevent future troubles!
…
There was no welcoming ceremony, nor were there any impassioned murderous speeches. After a simple breakfast, Chen Feng and company embarked on a brand new journey.
Even though half a month had passed since the battle, the tragic scene from that day could still be clearly seen around the City of Silver. Countless corpses and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.
Thankfully, the weather was cold now. If it were hot, there would be a boundless stench and countless flies flying around no matter where one went. Even so, the City of Silver placed the destruction of the corpses as their top priority to prevent the epidemic. But unfortunately, the number of corpses was just too large. Even if they burned day and night, there were still countless corpses lying around. This attracted many mutated beasts that fed on corpses like Corrupt Wolves, Corrupt Dogs, Underworld Birds, and Yin Vultures.
These monsters were unique to the apocalypse. Many of them were mutated animals from the past. It was the dangerous environment that had created their evil physiological characteristics.
Faced with such beasts, the hunters surprisingly spared them. Even though their mission was to hunt meat to supplement the City of Silver's supplies, these disgusting corpses were not within their range of consumption.
Not to mention anything else, just thinking about how they grew up by devouring corpses was enough to make people want to vomit.
Chen Feng strictly forbade the hunting team from capturing these creatures. After all, these scavengers had eaten too many corpses. Who knew if there were any germs in their bodies? But to the citizens who had been starving for a long time, the weaker mutated beasts were undoubtedly delicacies.
Many people traveled in groups, specifically hunting the weaker mutated beasts. The city had a population of a million, and there were many crooks mixed in with the honest folk. Just like in peacetime, where the laws were strict, there were also many people who specialized in taking advantage of loopholes. Furthermore, it was the apocalypse, and it was when the City of Silver had just been built.
All Chen Feng could do was send people over and over again to emphasize the importance of taking precautions.
Looking at the endless desert in front of him, Chen Feng asked the Warrior beside him with a calm expression, "Where are we going now?"
This Warrior's awakened ability was Spirit Explorer. To put it bluntly, it was the ability to detect life like a radar. As the person in charge of the remaining professionals in the City of Silver, the Spirit Explorer said to Chen Feng in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Up ahead is the territory of the Tyrannical Baboons. They are huge and can grow up to three tons. They are the main targets of this hunt."
In the original world, baboons were large mammals. When they reached adulthood, they had few natural enemies. With a swing of their arms, they could tear apart tigers and leopards. They could be said to be the strongest in the animal world. However, they were naturally docile, and the food they usually ate was leaves or fruits. As long as they weren't deliberately hostile towards them, they wouldn't attack humans or beasts.
But after the apocalypse, species underwent a huge change. Some could still maintain their gentle nature, but some beasts became increasingly terrifying and perverted!
Some monsters became synonymous with terror. They would kill all living beings in sight.
For example, the Tyrannical Baboon that Chen Feng and company were planning to hunt was a typical example. Its personality had changed from its usual docility to that of a manic, furious creature. It had an extremely strong sense of territory. If it discovered any enemy invading, it would kill and swallow them whole, regardless of what species they were.
According to the Spirit Explorer's information, the Tyrannical Baboons' territory was five hundred kilometers away from here. Their commanders were two Legendary baboons. As for their subordinates, they had hundreds of followers of varying strength.
During the City of Silver's heyday, although the Tyrannical Baboons were powerful, the City of Silver could still destroy them.
However, there was no need for that. Firstly, the Tyrannical Baboons were too far away from the City of Silver, so they posed no threat. Secondly, there was a creature called the Ironclad Rhinoceros around the Tyrannical Baboons. Both sides were rather irritable, so they often fought.
This kind of mutual slaughter was a scene that the City of Silver was happy to see. This was because the City of Silver didn't need to send a single soldier or horse for the Tyrannical Baboons and Ironclad Rhinoceros to kill each other. By controlling their numbers within a certain range, they posed no threat to the City of Silver.
However … the City of Silver had a huge food shortage now. The City of Silver couldn't consider so much and could only attack the large Tyrannical Baboons …
The battle was about to begin, and everyone's hearts were heavy. However, when they saw Chen Feng leading the team by their side, they relaxed a lot. After all, Chen Feng's reputation wasn't just for show. Furthermore, he had destroyed the City of Silver's previous ruling power in one fell swoop. Therefore, even though there were many experts with heavy hostility in the past, the professionals present now looked extremely docile. They didn't dare to show any signs of hostility!
However, unlike the others, Sun Yao's face was as pale as snow. She vomited no less than five times along the way, even vomiting gastric juices. After all, she had lived in the City of Silver in the past, and the most she had seen was the tragedy of stabbing someone to death in a fight for food. She had never seen such a hellish scene in front of her. There were all kinds of broken limbs and bloodstains in a radius of dozens of kilometers.
Sun Yao was the lucky one who Chen Feng had given power to as a blood sacrifice to the succubus. Originally, her life was already on par with death, and there was nothing more sorrowful than the death of her heart. However, Chen Feng needed to establish a civilian hero, so she became the new faith of those pitiful people who had suffered.
Seeing her in such a state, Chen Feng completely ignored her. What he wanted was a strong person who could crawl in the darkness, not a caged canary. If she couldn't stand the corpses by the roadside in the coming year, then she wouldn't have the qualifications to become a Civilian Hero. When the time came, Chen Feng could just change to another one. After all, all he had lost was a succubus. And to Chen Feng, what he didn't lack the most were demons!
