Before the monster died, it said something that was still fresh in Chen Feng's memory: They will come!
What did this mean? This creature wasn't an isolated case, but a group of them!
And according to intelligence, traces of devils would often appear on this land.
As the dimensional wall became thinner and thinner, the traces of devils around the City of Silver became more and more frequent, especially the low-level devils' cannon fodder. They began to become more and more common in the wilderness.
Every region would attract the attention of different dimensions. Just like how Order had attracted the attention of the Insect World, this piece of land might have already entered the eyes of a certain devil lord.
Some devils began to appear frequently in the wilderness, attacking all kinds of living creatures at the same time!
It had to be said that the City of Silver had left Chen Feng with a mess to clean up!
Different from Order, that was a force that Chen Feng had been protecting for several years. Often, when some dimensions first appeared, he would uproot them. And here, for various reasons, the Dragon Gate and the Brotherhood clearly weren't prepared to eradicate them. Therefore, Chen Feng needed a long period of time to solve the problems at hand.
…
Chen Feng's figure appeared in the City of Silver's meeting hall. Only one day had passed, and he had received bad news. The people in the meeting hall were the ones who had constructed the pyramid of authority in the City of Silver. They were Wei Xun, Xu Zhe, and the newly appointed Shen Li.
"Sir."
Xu Zhe humbly lowered his head to Chen Feng, and then said in a deep voice, "This happened yesterday. There were some problems with the food we transported back.
"Many civilians began to fall ill after eating it. These food were clearly transported back from Order, but for some reason, there were signs of mold and smelly!
"After this happened, we began to investigate. In the early hours of this morning, we captured a professional. Using the means of a hypnotist, we learned that he was a devil follower. He found a way to sneak into the granary, and then used the means bestowed by the devil to create a disaster!
"This poison is very terrifying. People who eat the food will turn into undead creatures, and people who are attacked by them will be infected with corpse poison.
"It's not a zombie, but an undead creature that's even more terrifying than zombies!
"Fortunately, we discovered it in time. We have already quarantined 307 people. Unfortunately, in just a few hours, more than a hundred people have been deeply infected and turned into undead zombies!"
This city had indeed been corroded by devils!
Compared to the reckless actions of devils, devils were clearly more proficient in scheming and plotting. A day ago, Xu Zhe learned through the big data that in just a few hours, many people had fainted and vomited. At first, he thought it was just simple food poisoning, but after some investigation, he discovered this shocking situation!
"What's your suggestion?"
Xu Zhe was an existence akin to a butler. Chen Feng immediately asked him. Xu Zhe pushed his glasses and said, "There is definitely more than one devil follower."
.............................................
...........
. including the water sources where the follower was active. "
Xu Zhe's report made Chen Feng's thoughts run wild. Through the Abyss, he had crammed some of the habits of devils. These creatures liked to change the structure of polluted land.
This was because many devils were immune to poison. And in the process of attacking the Bottomless Abyss, the most common thing they did was to change the dimensional laws of a piece of land they occupied, transforming the chaotic laws of the Bottomless Abyss into orderly laws. In the frontlines of the Blood War, many fortresses occupied by devils were eventually transformed, and the laws that belonged to that land became more suitable for the devils.
The City of Silver was very likely one of the devils' targets.
Chen Feng clearly remembered the devil incident he encountered. A snake scorpion demon had almost completely destroyed a city. The other party would patiently lurk in the beginning, and then jump out to reap lives when the situation worsened.
Devils liked the souls of mortals, so they would try their best to create large-scale battles.
"Battle …"
Chen Feng muttered to himself. For a moment, he seemed to have grasped the crux of the matter. The City of Silver was originally rather rational, but it suddenly became irritable. Even if it was partly because of the food, Chen Feng couldn't be sure if there was a devil's scheme behind it.
And after the battle failed, the devil followers lurking in the city attempted to take action through the food and filth.
This was the second step of the plan!
A power filled with filth had already corroded the land. Be it the plants, the soil, or the rivers, once it succeeded, everything would be corroded by the devil's evil power. Although there didn't seem to be many changes at first, as long as the people living here ate the things here, they would slowly become sick. In the end, they might be infected by the Undead Plague and become undead creatures.
No matter how I look at it, this seems to be the beginning of a conspiracy!
Chen Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
More than three hundred people. Even with the emergency treatment of the medical team, more than a hundred people had turned into terrifying undead creatures. Ordinary injuries could be treated, but once they mutated into zombies, this was an irreversible mutation!
More than three hundred people might not be able to be saved in the end. What was even more infuriating was that the food that was enough for a million people to eat for several months had been corroded. The corroded food was no longer suitable for anyone to eat. This meant that all the food had to be destroyed!
Bad news, food, and panic. The people that Chen Feng had worked so hard to pacify were likely to become turbulent because of this matter.
This was a difficult opponent to deal with.
A regular devil would not possess such a method. This sort of method of advancing step by step, where it was fine if they did not make a move, but the moment they made a move, they would hit the weak spot. Even someone like Chen Feng felt a sense of horror.
At this time, Chen Feng felt like he was surrounded by a conspiracy. The devil hiding in the dark was likely to be mocking all of this. It would continue to hide itself until the devil's will took over this place. Nearly a million people were completely dead, reduced to pitiful soul chips.
"I can't let this happen."
Chen Feng's eyes sharpened. He looked around and gave the final order, "Xu Zhe, send people to investigate the entire City of Silver. Conduct home visits and background checks. Arrest all suspects and interrogate them."
"Wei Xun, transport the food outside the city and burn it. Make sure that not a single grain is left."
"Shen Li, conduct an investigation among the professionals. Get the team members to supervise each other. Isolate anyone who behaves strangely and wait for me to interrogate them personally."
"Yes!"
The three of them said in unison and accepted Chen Feng's orders!
