Chen Feng's words were obviously too extreme and exaggerated, but he deliberately said it in order to give Xu Hongzhuang a heavy blow.
Let her fall into deep self-blame and doubt her own values for a short period of time.
The apocalypse was a dark forest. Everyone was a hunter with a gun, sneaking through the forest like a ghost, gently pushing away the branches blocking the way, trying not to let the slightest sound of footsteps, and even breathing carefully. Everyone had to be careful because there were hunters everywhere in the forest like them.
If they found any threat to their lives, no matter if it was a hunter or not, no matter if it was an angel or a demon, no matter if it was a delicate baby or a stumbling old man, no matter if it was a fairy-like girl or a god-like man, there was only one thing that they could do, and that was to destroy it.
In this forest, the enemy was hell, an eternal threat. Any enemy that posed even the slightest threat to him should be eliminated immediately.
Lawful evil.
This was Chen Feng's life principle.
He would not care about the world like Judgement, nor would he be chaotic and bloodthirsty like the Devil. He was himself, and all his interests were based on self-centeredness.
If you want to destroy someone, you must first make them crazy.
Xu Hongzhuang was a promising person, so Chen Feng did not mind spending some extra time to play a game with this strong and pure girl.
As a professional, and an existence with a hero template, Xu Hongzhuang was also a member of this dark forest. However, she was just a greenhorn, and although she had strength, she did not have the awareness and ability of a hunter.
However, Chen Feng was different. He had wandered around this Dark Forest for countless years. From a weak beginner to a veteran hunter who was proficient in using all sorts of weapons and equipment, he was perhaps the only one who knew how much effort he had put into this journey.
As early as when he had first met Xu Hongzhuang, Chen Feng had relied on spiritual hypnosis to leave a deep imprint in the other party's heart. This was like carving a knife mark on a small sapling. As it grew, the mark would also become more and more intense until it became a desolate scar.
Chen Feng belonged to the Dark Faction. Everything he did was for himself.
On the other hand, Xu Hongzhuang was different. Her heart was filled with righteousness, and everything was built on the belief of eliminating monsters and protecting the people. They were like black and white, two completely separate individuals.
What Chen Feng needed to do now was to destroy the other party's beliefs and pull them from the holy light of heaven into the rotten hell. Compared to angels, Chen Feng preferred devils who didn't care about trifles.
Xu Hongzhuang was so stubborn and persistent. If one day the two of them really had a disagreement, who could be sure that she wouldn't suddenly attack him?
Chen Feng's ultimate goal was to let her slowly degenerate until she joined his camp.
To change Xu Hongzhuang's camp.
This was just like making the cat and the Dance Goddess abstain from sex, making Rose stop scheming, and making the Burning Flame Demon stop killing. It was just as unbelievable.
But the more it was like this …
The more accomplished one was, the more one felt, wasn't it?
On the other hand, Xu Hongzhuang's pupils shrank violently. She shook her head in disbelief. Her mind was in a mess. Cold sweat instantly covered her back. Anyone could see how panicked she was at this moment.
She really only wanted to kill before. She didn't think too much about it. After all, Chen Feng was simply a nightmare. In the long years, he had already tortured her thousands of times.
If possible, she wanted to end this nightmare.
What she did just now was like some martial arts masters. In order to pursue pure martial arts, they castrated themselves. Because there was no seven emotions and six desires, they could put all their energy into martial arts. Only then could they make greater progress.
For Xu Hongzhuang, Chen Feng was a giant beast that blocked her beliefs. She could either completely obey him or kill him. Otherwise, she might stop at the peak of Silver Rank for the rest of her life. She wouldn't be able to clear her mind and enter the Gold Rank.
The higher the rank of a professional, the harder it was to advance. Just like the Gold Rank, to reach this level, one didn't just rely on talent and resources. One's state of mind was also an important factor.
Chen Feng looked at Xu Hongzhuang's expression and knew that it was about time. If he continued, once the other party noticed, it would inevitably be a loss. He took a step forward and said, "Let's pretend that nothing happened in the past, okay?"
"Really …"
Xu Hongzhuang's face was red and her breathing was disorderly. Just when she didn't know how to explain, Chen Feng's words surprised her.
"But, are you willing to help me?" Chen Feng looked at her with a smile.
Xu Hongzhuang hesitated. She didn't know what Chen Feng meant, but from the other party's previous behavior, he didn't seem like someone who would let her go easily.
"This is the apocalypse. Everywhere around us are monsters that eat people without spitting out the bones. No matter if it's Order or Qiao Dong, we all have a common enemy, which is those insects and beasts. I can pretend that we never met, but there is a small condition." Chen Feng said word by word, softly whispering into Xu Hongzhuang's ears.
His voice was warm, and Xu Hongzhuang's ears were itchy. She wanted to dodge, but Chen Feng's words were like a spider's web, tightly entangling her, making it impossible for her to dodge.
No matter if it was joining forces to fight against the enemy or the previous matter, this was the most important thing in her heart.
"What condition?" Xu Hongzhuang calmed her throbbing heart, her voice clear and strong.
"I want to put some of my people in the Iron Demon Army. If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, no one will know the true identity of those people." Chen Feng said casually: "Let bygones be bygones. From now on, I won't mention it again. However, you need to grow a bit more. Not only the Iron Demon Army, but also the other departments of the Main Combat Faction. You need to plan more and put some of your trusted people in there."
Xu Hongzhuang fell silent.
She wasn't stupid. She naturally understood the other party's intentions. Arranging for her subordinates to enter the Iron Demon Army and infiltrate the other departments was simply a conspiracy.
She didn't want to live in the shadows, but she also didn't want to do something that went against her conscience.
"Colonel Feng has done me a favor. I … I won't do anything to let him down …" Xu Hongzhuang's expression was firm as she said in a heavy voice.
