Wei Xun and Xu Hongzhuang were among the first batch of people to follow Chen Feng. After a period of development, the two of them naturally had their own factions. Now, the consolidation of their factions involved the interests of countless people. Therefore, the two of them would often be at loggerheads.
Order did not allow private fights.
This was a rule that everyone had to abide by. It was the same for ordinary people and Gold powerhouses.
Although the two of them were aggressive, they did not have the guts to fight in front of Chen Feng.
"Tap, tap …"
Chen Feng knocked on the table and the two of them immediately stopped arguing.
Xu Hongzhuang had her own ideas, but she knew that if not for Chen Feng's establishment of Order, everything she had would be built in the clouds and there would be no place to implement it. She snorted and did not say another word.
Wei Xun was even more so. As a fanatic, his loyalty was not tainted at all. Perhaps he sensed Chen Feng's displeasure and hurriedly shut his mouth.
So long as no blood was spilled, Chen Feng would not participate in the conflicts between his subordinates. To be able to reach where they were today, each of them had their own fortuitous encounters and abilities. It was quite normal for them to have different political views. If everyone was the same, Order would have no future and no development at all.
Now, the four of them were like four bronze pillars under a vessel. Wei Xun and Xu Hongzhuang were in charge of Order and were in charge of a series of personnel deployment and combat. Lu Wei was in charge of training the Dark Department and taking in more talents to carry out intelligence investigations. As for Macta, the half-elf who had surrendered halfway, for some special reason, Chen Feng had entrusted him with an important task. He established the Supervisory Department and was specifically in charge of the management of dimensional creatures.
As more and more dimensional creatures entered Order, the influence of the Supervisory Department also rose. Therefore, Macta had become one of the giants of today.
Although there were some humans who claimed that it was inappropriate for a half-elf like Macta to be in charge of such a large force, the idea that those who were not of the same race were bound to have different intentions had seeped into everyone's hearts. However, Chen Feng was a man of his word. Since it was decided by the master of Order himself, the rest could not say anything. They could only allow him to grow stronger day by day.
"My Lord …"
He had fused with the flesh and blood of two abominations, and his body had mutated a long time ago. He had also successfully advanced not long ago and had the power of a Gold Rank.
"I have something to report." Lu Wei looked at Chen Feng and said with respect. Without Chen Feng, he wouldn't be where he was today. Even though Lu Wei was in charge of the Dark Group and had countless capable people under him, his loyalty didn't decrease at all.
"Speak!" Chen Feng sat at the head of the table and agreed. Although he left everything to the four of them, he didn't just leave everything to them. Every once in a while, he would hold a meeting to listen to their opinions on the development of the dough and the future prospects of the order.
After getting the nod, Lu Wei said with a heavy expression, "There's a strange thing. My Lord ordered me to investigate the surrounding waters to see if there are any survivors. I sent six members of the Dark Group who are proficient in the water to investigate, but when the team returned this morning, there was only one person left. He seemed to have been frightened and spoke intermittently. I asked the High Priest to treat him personally before he woke up."
The Dark Group was a mysterious department. It could be said that fifty percent of the powerhouses of Order were gathered in it. Other than the professionals who participated in the blood sacrifice at the beginning, even other dimensional creatures were also targets of recruitment.
If Chen Feng guessed correctly, the professionals who were proficient in the water were the Nagas. The Nagas had lived in the sea since they were young, so they naturally had their own way of survival. However, such an elite team had inexplicably lost five people. It was a painful loss for Order.
"What's going on?" Chen Feng's face was a little cold.
The people around them also looked at each other and tensed up. Although Xu Hongzhuang and Wei Xun were usually noisy, everything was for the sake of Order. At this time, when they heard that the Dark Group had suffered such a serious loss, they immediately joined forces to deal with the outside world.
Lu Wei hurriedly replied, "These people are considered as sea inspectors. It's normal for them to come back once every ten days or half a month when they go out on a mission. This time, they headed south. It's said that they saw a coastal town. When they went up to investigate, they found that there were no living people there. Instead, all of them had become corpses."
"Corpses?" Chen Feng heard the main point. Lu Wei wasn't talking about zombies, but corpses.
Lu Wei's face didn't look good, "Yes, my Lord. Those corpses didn't retain their original skin like zombies. Instead, they were green all over and had green hair on their bodies. There were pustules on their chests and cheeks. They looked very disgusting!"
Chen Feng was shocked, "Green skin?"
Zombies were mutated human beings. Their skin was pale and they looked like they had lost a lot of blood. But according to the survivors, the mutated creatures in the town had green skin and pustules on their bodies. This was obviously the characteristic of zombies among the undead!
There were many types of undead. Skeleton Warriors were the most common type. Other than that, there were zombies, liches, undead knights, and Osteosaurus. These were all higher-level undead types.
Among them, zombies had a rotten body and appearance. Unlike the slow movements of early zombies, zombies were twice as fast as a normal person. Because of their rotten body, they also had the ability to create plagues.
And this was also the reason why Chen Feng didn't let Saruman create zombies. The population base of Order was too large. If too many zombies were resurrected, it was very likely that a terrible plague would appear. At that time, even with Li Siyu's treatment department, they would be helpless and could only watch humans die one by one.
It was impossible for zombies to appear in their native land. Could it be … a creature that appeared from a plane of death?
Chen Feng asked and Lu Wei answered truthfully. Those zombies were wearing human clothes. It seemed that there was no mistake. They weren't the so-called dimension. They were really transformed from humans.
"So, those few members of the Dark Group were killed by these monsters?"
"No." Lu Wei shook his head. Lu Wei shook his head and said, "Those monsters are scary, but it's not impossible for the team to escape. They looked around and were about to come back and report when they accidentally found an altar. The altar was located in a corner of the town and there was a lot of blood on it. Looking into the distance, they saw the monsters bringing the captured creatures to the altar and cutting their necks to use their blood as sacrifices."
Speaking of this, Lu Wei paused for a moment. His face became even more unpleasant as he said, "But it was this that caused the death of the team. According to the survivors, they were still some distance away from the altar. But for some reason, the surroundings suddenly became very cold. When they realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape, five of them had their bodies split in half. It was as if they were cut in half by something!"
"The last one had a magical ability to escape. That was how he escaped. But because he exhausted too much of his vitality, he fell seriously ill when he came back."
"Did he see the appearance of the attacker?" Chen Feng asked.
Lu Wei shook his head, "According to his memory, he vaguely saw the shape of a sickle. But he couldn't see anything else …"
As soon as he finished speaking, the few of them fell into deep thought. Even Chen Feng was digesting the information that Lu Wei had given them.
With just one strike, five of the assassins were killed. One should know that all of them had the strength of a Silver. Two of them were even at the pinnacle. It could be said that even a Gold Contender would not be able to defeat them easily if they were surrounded.
But the few of them only looked at the altar from afar and they were killed. They had to admit that the opponent's strength was enough to attract attention.
"Alright." Looking at their faces, Chen Feng opened his mouth and said, "Hearsay is false. Seeing is believing. Only by truly going there will we be able to know the secrets within."
Chen Feng would not allow there to be forces around the Order that were not under his control. Whether he was being cautious or overbearing, Chen Feng had decided to find the truth and find out the reason for the tragic death of those people.
"Sir, I'm willing to go!"
"Let me go!"
Wei Xun and Xu Hongzhuang said at the same time.
Chen Feng sat at the head of the table and shook his head, "This is not a trivial matter. Logically speaking, all of you are excellent candidates. But now that the new city has just been built, there are still many things to be done. You all stay here and do the work at hand. I'll go there myself and investigate everything."
The death of five assassins was an unprecedented loss for the Order. The other party's massacre was undoubtedly a provocation to the Order. Once they agreed to it, it was very likely that a series of unforeseen events would occur.
Moreover, the zombies in the city also made Chen Feng curious. The zombies in the city were sacrificing their blood on the altar. There must be a terrifying mastermind behind all of this.
Hypothetically speaking, if that place was originally a human stronghold, there were many powerful people who built a city to protect the survivors.
However, just as this organization was developing vigorously, a bizarre life form had appeared and killed the experts in this organization. Furthermore, this life form had also transformed an entire city of residents into zombies. If this was truly the case, Chen Feng had to capture the culprit behind all this.
While the misfortune was still in the bud, he must strangle it in the cradle.
This was because its bloody experiences in the past had told it that it could not let down its guard against anything that had anything to do with the dimension.
So everything must be grasped in the shortest time possible.
Of course, to explore this unknown danger, one must be fully prepared. No one knew what kind of danger existed in that place!
Therefore!
For this exploration, Chen Feng decided to summon to increase the chips in his hands. The order to sacrifice was passed down. Several big shots went to look for powerful flesh and blood for Chen Feng.
In less than a day, several powerful monsters hiding in the shadows were brought to Chen Feng!
