Under the night sky, many bonfires were lit in the square of the Economic Development Zone, barbecuing countless slices of insect meat. It was fresh and delicious, emitting a meaty aroma.
The survivors of the Economic Development Zone either sat on the ground or gathered together to chat. Even some soldiers, who rarely relaxed, joined in the carnival to vent the tension, fear, and worry since the apocalypse. They were afraid that if they missed this opportunity, they would not have another chance to party in the future.
The enthusiastic atmosphere made the burning bug fire burn even more fiercely. Some of the survivors who had lost their loved ones were also affected. They roared and sang songs, making a lot of noise. However, no one scolded them, because everyone was a little crazy, enjoying this rare carnival.
Even if they did not drink at all, in the midst of grief, their consciousness fell into chaos.
In addition to the personnel on duty, most people came here. Looking around, there was a sea of people everywhere. Under the illumination of the fire, there were many shadows.
It was a rare harvest.
In this joint operation of the Economic Development Zone and Qiao Dong, except for the successful killing of the dragon-patterned beetle, the casualties of the other insects were countless. Even if some of the insect meat was given to Qiao Dong, there was still a shocking amount left.
This insect meat was enough to support a grand carnival.
This city had changed a lot.
In Chen Feng's memory, at this time in his previous life, food was getting more and more scarce, and the pressure to survive was getting greater and greater. For example, this kind of carnival was unthinkable, except for some high-level banquets, ordinary people could not enjoy this kind of treatment.
Even more, at that time, the Economic Development Zone, because of the sparse population, was no different from Qiao Dong. Most people moved to Qiao Dong, and this place became the breeding ground of the insects.
At that time, people were busy defending and were tired of dealing with the situation, so there was no time for this kind of party. Even if they worked hard, they would be too tired to even lift their arms, and the food they got was just a little. Insect meat? This was food that he didn't even dare to think about.
But at this time, the Economic Development Zone had undergone tremendous changes.
Because of the appearance of mutated food, not only did it solve the problem of famine, but also because of the concentration of combat power, after the end of a battle, people had the opportunity to get some meat.
In this kind of environment, the worst could only be called hardship, but not despair.
After some distribution, the items obtained from the hive were all transported to the two cities.
Other than the adult worms, there were also thousands of eggs in the nest. The worms' reproductive ability was extremely strong. Moreover, they had nothing to do in the dark underground. Other than mating, there was nothing else for them to do.
As a result, the narrow space was actually filled with insect eggs. If they hadn't taken precautions back then, even if there was only a 30% chance of survival, these insect eggs would have become a nightmare for humans.
Now, however, these eggs had lost their chance to hatch. Instead, they had become delicacies. After a series of cooking, they were sent to the dining table.
"Please have a taste …"
One of the chefs chuckled as he passed Chen Feng a plate.
"This is the pupa of the Ice Flame Golden Cicada. It's extremely rare. This time, we only found ten pupae in the insect nest. I specially cooked this pupa according to your taste. Sir, please try it …"
This was a capable person.
It could perfectly fuse food and medicinal herbs together.
In peaceful times, this was a famous medicinal cuisine chef nearby. In those times, the customers were all high officials. Ordinary people couldn't taste his cooking.
This person's cooking skills were good and his words were appropriate. Therefore, he used to cook for Chen Feng and had served him for more than two months.
This wasn't a disgrace.
On the contrary, in the entire [Order], who knew how many people were eyeing this position. Who was Chen Feng now? It was no exaggeration to say that he was the leader of the entire economic development zone. To be able to serve him by his side meant that he had a big backer.
In addition, Chen Feng enjoyed the best treatment in the city. As the royal chef, he could occasionally bask in the limelight. In the worst case scenario, he could eat and drink to his heart's content without worrying about hunger.
Under this kind of competitive pressure, the chef didn't dare to be negligent. Every dish he made was 100% serious, striving to be as good as possible.
Ordinary pupae were only half the size of a palm, but this mutated pupa was as big as an apple. At this time, the chef cut it into six pieces and sprinkled the fragrant Queen Bee Honey on top. It was unknown how fragrant and sweet it was.
"Hmm, it's really not bad."
Chen Feng picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly. The moment it touched his lips, the pupa seemed to melt. A rich fragrance suddenly spread out in his mouth.
Ice Flame Golden Cicada.
This was also a mutated insect. It was very powerful. As long as there was enough food, it would reach the silver rank. In the eyes of some insect masters, it was simply a treasure.
However, the flesh of the ice flame golden cicada was poisonous.
Because this was a kind of insect that could use ice and fire at the same time. Many parts of it had unknown toxins. Once it was eaten indiscriminately, it could directly cause death!
Only an expert at Chen Feng's level would be able to use it without worry. If it had been an ordinary person, this single mouthful would have caused them to spit blood and die.
This was like eating tonics. For some people who were weak, the more tonics they ate, the more harmful it would be to their body.
After swallowing, energy would be generated in the body. Many of the hidden injuries from the past would also slowly disappear under this nourishment. The whole person's spirit was even better.
This was the charm of medicinal cuisine.
"Reward!"
Chen Feng softly spat out a word. The chef beside him who had seen some of the world hurriedly nodded his head to express his gratitude.
Sir was not stingy.
In [Order], to be able to get the word "reward" from Chen Feng was definitely a pleasant surprise.
Looking at the flame of the insects, looking at the dancing people, and tasting the delicious food on the plate, Chen Feng suddenly felt that this kind of life was not bad.
However, this kind of thought only lasted for a moment before quietly disappearing.
Born in hardship, die in comfort.
Comfort was also a taboo word in the apocalypse.
If alcohol could numb people's brain, then comfort would corrode people's body and soul.
Chen Feng knew that the reason why he could see all of this was because he relied on his powerful strength. Without strength to support all of this, this city and everyone here would become withered ruins and rotting corpses.
The banquet lasted for two hours. At around 11 o 'clock, the party finally came to an end.
Most people returned to their rooms to rest, and a small number of people began to clean up the mess. Because of the chaos, there were a few pieces of uneaten insect meat on the ground. At this time, the workers would wrap it up with a bag and put it into their clothes.
At this time, the patrolling soldiers also turned a blind eye to these people's actions and did not speak up to stop these people's actions.
Another hour passed.
The square became completely quiet. It was hard to imagine that there was a lively and bustling activity here just now.
[Order] forbade all night!
At 12 o 'clock at night, except for the patrolling soldiers and workers, ordinary people must return to their rooms. After a period of familiarity, people strictly followed these rules.
There were many rules in [Order]. Although for some people, it was considered cumbersome, but no one dared to directly protest because they knew who the ruler of this place was.
Chen Feng.
This was not an existence to be trifled with.
…
A corner of [Order].
This was a forbidden area for most people because this was where Chen Feng lived.
Now, Chen Feng did not go to bed early as usual. Instead, he stood in the empty courtyard and looked at the corpse in front of him.
This corpse had a powerful name.
Dragon-patterned Beetle.
One of the Insect Queen's generals. In the battlefield in his previous life, who knew how many human monsters it had killed. It did not even have the chance to shine before its life ended and became what it was now.
Compared to the insects in the hive, the corpse of the Insect King was the most useful thing because it could be refined into many excellent equipment.
The carapace of the Dragon-patterned Beetle had super strong defense. With a little processing, it could be refined into a good shield. If the craftsmanship was precise, it could even be made into several sets of armor.
Even if Chen Feng did not wear it, he could use it to arm his core subordinates!
Thinking about it, if Wei Xun was equipped with this kind of armor, coupled with his terrifying arms, his defense would be greatly increased. He could definitely challenge stronger opponents.
Therefore, early on, when he returned, Chen Feng ordered people to remove all the carapace of the Dragon-patterned Beetle. At this time, the Insect King was lying in a pool of blood in a bloody mess, like a whale that had been skinned. It even looked a little miserable.
Other than the carapace, the blood, organs, and meat were all treasures. If they were used to feed the insects, it would not take long to breed many mutant insects.
However, Chen Feng would not do that.
He had even rejected the request of the Lie Demons. How could he let those brainless insects take advantage of him? For Chen Feng, he had more important things to do.
Summoning.
The Dragon-patterned Beetle's body contained powerful energy. If used for summoning, he might be able to summon some good helpers.
Chen Feng took out a blade and slashed at the body of the Dragon-patterned Beetle. Without the protection of the carapace, the body was cut open and a pool of blood flowed out.
He used the blood to draw a summoning array around him. Then, he stuck both hands into the flesh of the insect. Although the process was a little disgusting, this method was easier to gain the favor of the monsters.
The sacrifice had been offered.
Next, it was time to witness the magic …
