In the center of the city.
After the Jackalans died and the Beast Tide army retreated, Chen Feng and the warriors around him stepped into this unfamiliar city.
The survivors around him were curious, especially those who just stood on the city wall and witnessed Chen Feng's power. They were even more nervous.
In merely several tens of minutes, Chen Feng had used his strength to win the respect of the others.
Regardless of the time and place, people would always respect the strong. As such, although Chen Feng was only here for the first time, his status was rising rapidly. The most obvious change was the fact that those prideful professionals did not even dare to look him in the eye. Wherever Chen Feng looked, some of them would even lower their heads.
…
Chen Feng stepped into the hall.
There was no grand welcome ceremony, and even the food was not delicious.
Zhou Hongwei tried to inspire people's confidence before the battle. He took out the food that was not much to begin with to fill the stomachs of the soldiers. Now, he did not even have the ingredients to prepare the banquet.
Looking at the huge dining table, other than the meat cooked with wild beasts, there were only a few vegetables and a pitiful amount of fruits. Chen Feng came to a conclusion about this place. It seemed like this city was even more destitute than he had imagined.
This city was not rich, and it could even be considered miserable. If he did not come, these people might have become food for the Jackalans.
Another point was that the city's garrison was pitifully small. Logically speaking, as a city with such a large population, there should be more than a few dozen professionals.
"Who's in charge here?"
Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the people not far away.
Some people moved their eyes to a young man. Zhou Hongwei hesitated for a moment before standing up.
In the city, he was just a poor guy hiding behind his brother. Now, he had the opportunity to face Chen Feng face to face.
Chen Feng glanced at him. He was at most a Silver-rank existence. He had not even reached the peak of the Silver-rank.
"You're the person in charge here?"
Zhou Hongwei was still silent in the battle just now. It was not until Chen Feng asked for the second time that he reacted and nodded blankly.
Chen Feng frowned. How should he put it? This guy in front of him seemed a little dull.
After that, it was a question and answer session. Due to Chen Feng's fierce power, Zhou Hongwei did not hide anything and told him everything about the city.
Indeed, Zhou Hongwei was not a smart person, but he was definitely not stupid. He was clear about the gap between them. Instead of saying some lies to make the other party fearful, he might as well tell them everything. This might even win some of the other party's favor.
The team that he sent to ask for help had returned................... only.....
The team in front of him was indeed the reinforcements he asked for. However, he was not very clear about the specific situation there. After all, when he arrived there, he was already unconscious. When he woke up, it did not take long for him to embark on the rescue journey.
The other party only brought back one piece of news. There was a lot of food there. Food was placed on the ground to dry. Other than that, the streets were unusually clean. It was completely unlike the current T City. Due to the lack of governance, there was garbage everywhere. Even the surrounding air was filled with a rotten smell.
This made Zhou Hongwei fall into deep thought. In addition to being surprised, there was also a hint of excitement. That was because other than T City, there were other cities standing tall. They were not the last survivors!
More importantly, the environment there was much better than the city below. According to the team's report, there was no shortage of food in that city.
Order.
This was a very unfamiliar name.
But just now, when the beasts retreated, the warriors were cheering this name. Only now did Zhou Hongwei understand that Order was their new base.
Spacious roads, clean floors, neat rooms.
Because of the doomsday, most people were running around to make a living. In fact, Zhou Hongwei had not seen what a clean city looked like for a long time.
Because of hunger, the city under his feet was like a broken silkworm's egg. It had long been swallowed into a bumpy appearance.
Governance?
They did not even know when they would lose their lives. Most people lived like walking corpses. Other than eating their fill, there was nothing that could arouse their interest.
In this case, the living environment slowly deteriorated. This was a very common phenomenon.
Every day was a precarious life. Who would have extra time to waste on cleaning up the garbage?
Therefore, after hearing about the orderly environment, Zhou Hongwei immediately felt a little surprised. If possible, he really wanted to go to the other party's city to take a look.
He only had one purpose, and that was to relive … civilization!
T City's civilization had been destroyed by the disaster. When the city was first besieged, the survivors who hugged together, except for the peaceful era, were hardworking people. Among them, there was no lack of high education or rich young masters with deep backgrounds.
But with the disaster coming again and again, their courage had long since disappeared. Their ideals and aspirations had long been completely destroyed by this disaster.
T City had lost its vitality.
Even if they repelled the beasts or insects once, there would always be more monsters rushing towards them. The endless darkness had long made the people here accustomed to decadence.
Zhou Hongwei was used to this place. Even he was transforming little by little, becoming the extremist that he hated the most.
His brother's death was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Zhou Hongwei endured countless pressure and stayed here. On the big side, it was because he could not bear to see the survivors being slaughtered. On the small side, it was because he wanted to avenge his brother with his own hands.
However, with the arrival of Chen Feng and Order, he had changed his mind. Slowly, his consciousness, which had been shrouded by hatred, started awakening. He wanted to take a look at this city called Order, to see what it looked like.
Was it really like what his subordinates said? Piles of food, clean surroundings, no one's face was dejected because of the apocalypse, but a kind of hope for the future.
As long as he could touch civilization and not live like a savage, Zhou Hongyuan was already very satisfied. The apocalypse had changed many of his bad habits.
Live.
Live well.
