Meeting again.
Both parties did not show much enthusiasm. They were just strangers who met by chance. In fact, Lady Misfortune still had some indescribable feelings.
The young man who had saved him back then turned out to be the ruler of the nearby city. Was there a more melodramatic reunion than this?
That's right!
As far as Lady Misfortune was concerned, Chen Feng was the one who had killed the thugs who had brought her pain. Nominally, he was her savior.
Lady Misfortune's personality was inclined towards lawful evil.
She would take revenge for revenge and repay kindness for kindness.
She would not let any of her enemies go, nor would she kill innocent people who had nothing to do with her. But now, she had attacked her savior's stronghold. This act of repaying evil with good went against her style of doing things.
It was a little awkward.
Lady Misfortune was at a loss of what to do. Even though both parties had left the battlefield and came to a well-decorated house, she still could not feel at ease.
There was a long silence.
Both parties were waiting for the other to speak first.
Chen Feng picked up a teacup and took a sip.
Compared to the mind-numbing white wine, Chen Feng preferred tea leaves with a bitter taste. Drinks without alcohol could allow his brain to remain calm at all times.
"How should I deal with her?"
Chen Feng started pondering inwardly.
"It's impossible to let her go. Such a strong person staying around the economic zone is like a ticking time bomb. No one knows when she will explode."
"Lady Misfortune is temperamental. If one day she becomes chaotic and attacks the surrounding strongholds, I can't always suppress her, right?"
"Kill her? That's too much of a pity. Her strength is not inferior to any of the insect kings. If I can take her under my command, the chances of defeating the insect wave will be greatly increased. "
"But she looks like she has no desires. What should I say to make her stay?"
"I can't build a church for her and let her preach in the city, right?"
When he thought of this, Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt enlightened.
A church?
It was not completely impossible!
Lady Misfortune did not have a fixed place to stay. The group of people were like rats, hiding in the dark corners. If he promised to give her a spacious place to preach, it would be better than the environment of the water tower, right?
The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have finally made a decision. He said, "Your body is only paralyzed. In a few hours, you will naturally recover your strength."
"I don't know why you're living in a place like this, but the surrounding environment is too harsh. There are bugs and beasts everywhere. Haven't you thought of changing places?"
"I can pretend that nothing happened. Also, I would like to invite you to join my city."
Chen Feng's words were very clear. 'You didn't kill my people, and I didn't kill them. We haven't reached the point where we can't resolve our differences.'
Other than that, the outside world is full of dangers. You brought a group of believers with you and have no fixed place to stay. You don't even have a guarantee of life. Why don't you come to my city and settle down?
At this point, it was clear that he wanted to recruit her.
However, Lady Misfortune was stubborn. After going through some hardships, she was resistant to all men, even if Chen Feng was her savior.
Shaking her head, Misfortune Lady was about to refuse when Chen Feng reached out and stopped her.
"Don't rush to make a decision. Don't you want to hear what I have to say?"
"Asking you to live in the camp is not asking you to obey me. In fact, we are in a cooperative relationship. I am expanding my forces, and the monsters around are my enemies. As long as you can eliminate those monsters for me, I will pay you the equivalent amount of food and resources."
"Other than that, I see that you don't have many subordinates. I can build a church for you and let you freely recruit companions. Now, the population of my city has exceeded 20,000. I can promise you that you can freely recruit from those people. As long as they agree, I won't have any objections."
After Chen Feng said that, he closed his mouth.
The room fell into silence once again.
Lady Misfortune was no doubt a ticking time bomb.
However, if she could be used well, it would be an unimaginable help for Chen Feng!
He was going to wait and see!
Chen Feng had already made the biggest concession he could. If the other party still refused to make their stance clear, then he would have to apologize.
He was not a kind person. Either they became friends, and it was a win-win situation. Or they became enemies, and only death awaited.
Perhaps Lady Misfortune did not even realize that she was standing on the edge of a cliff. The slightest mistake would cause her to fall off the cliff and leave the world forever.
However, compared to the silence in the room, Lady Misfortune's heart was in turmoil. When Chen Feng mentioned the first condition, she did not pay too much attention to it. Due to some special reasons, she did not lack resources. However, the second condition moved her.
Because of the economic development zone.
There were very few survivors outside.
Under such circumstances, the number of followers that Lady Misfortune could recruit could only be described as minuscule.
This woman was pitiful.
As a victim, her innermost belief was to create an organization that would strike fear into the hearts of the thugs. This was a disguised form of protection.
She was protecting her companions who had been tortured and humiliated in the dark.
However, she did not have many subordinates. Overall, after a long period of recruitment, she only had less than 200 people. This was far from her ideal number.
Now, however, Chen Feng had actually promised to build a church for her and allow her to freely recruit members. For her, this was simply a fatal condition.
After a while, Lady Misfortune finally spoke. Compared to the ugliness on her face, her voice was unusually pleasant, like the chirping of a lark. "Is what you said true?"
Chen Feng had a calm expression on his face. "I swear on my life!"
Now, Lady Misfortune's identity was just a prisoner. Chen Feng's expression had already shown great sincerity.
Did she agree?
Lady Misfortune was not a fool. She knew her current identity. Previously, she had refused because she did not want to be enslaved by him. Now, it was different. Chen Feng and her were clearly in a cooperative relationship.
If she did not accept, it would inevitably give the feeling that she was being taken advantage of.
Agree.
There was nothing to hesitate about!
Thinking of this, Lady Misfortune bowed slightly. "I accept your suggestion. However, I hope you can fulfill your promise."
Chen Feng smiled slightly and said affirmatively, "Of course!"
But at this time, another voice sounded in his heart. "You've been tricked!"
For any ruler, doctrines and beliefs were a potential threat because it would shake their rule.
But now, it was different.
We have to be clear about one thing. What was Lady Misfortune's doctrine? What kind of followers did she recruit?
She hated violence, so most of her followers were pitiful people who had nowhere to go, or women who had been bullied.
This kind of preaching, in any chaotic city, would be able to recruit a group of followers in a very short time.
But in the economic zone, it was not popular.
Violence was strictly prohibited in the economic zone. Because of order, anyone who dared to force a relationship without the consent of the woman would be severely punished, or even sentenced to death.
Other than that, the benefits of the economic zone were even envied by the middle class people of Qiaodong. As long as you moved your hands, even an old woman could feed herself.
Other than food, there was also a chance to obtain insect meat and fish.
In this situation, other than some naturally lazy losers, very few people could be called [Miserable].
The economic zone was thriving day by day.
The good days had just begun. Other than crazy people who would seek refuge with Lady Misfortune and destroy their own faces, any normal person would not join Lady Misfortune's camp.
Obviously, in this situation, Lady Misfortune was destined to be rejected in the economic zone.
However, Chen Feng would do what he promised. Not for anything else, but a building in exchange for the restraint of a strong person. In this world, there was no better exchange than this.
The other party did not know what the other party was thinking.
You are not a fish, how can you know the happiness of a fish?
For them, they had already gotten the biggest reward, there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
"Happy working with you." Chen Feng extended his right hand.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Lady Misfortune also extended her hand and touched Chen Feng's hand.
"Happy working with you."
The matter of the alliance had come to an end. However, Chen Feng still had some doubts in his heart.
After a while, Chen Feng said, "If that is the case, I want to know, why would you take the initiative to attack the stronghold?"
This was the question in Chen Feng's heart.
Logically speaking, there was still some distance between the water tower and the stronghold. Lady Misfortune had no reason to travel all the way to destroy her own stronghold. For her, there was no benefit at all.
Lady Misfortune was still hesitating. However, when she saw the impatience in Chen Feng's eyes, her heart stopped beating.
The aura of a superior.
Chen Feng showed an unquestionable will.
Cooperation was cooperation, but some things had to be made clear.
Lady Misfortune was not stupid. She understood that in order for the previous matter to be completely resolved, she had to give him an explanation.
Since they had agreed to go to the economic zone, then, there was no need to hide the secret.
"We are protecting the light screen."
"The stronghold you built is only a few hundred meters away from the light screen. I am afraid that those people will discover the existence of the light screen, so, the only choice is to destroy the stronghold."
At this time, Lady Misfortune finally told the whole story.
"Light screen?"
Chen Feng's eyes were blank. What was that?
Lady Misfortune's expression became serious. Her voice could not hide her hesitation and reluctance, "A magical place. Through the light screen, we can go to an unfamiliar world. There, we have the food and water we need."
