Order.
Chen Feng stood on the deck and looked into the distance. He turned to look at Xu Hongzhuang behind him and said slowly, "How's the movement of the insects?"
Xu Hongzhuang bowed slightly and said, "They've been very obedient recently."
Chen Feng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let the Dark Unit continue to monitor the movements of the insects. If there are any special situations, send them to me immediately."
"Yes." Xu Hongzhuang answered and left.
The insect world had failed several times in a row, and the insects' actions had become more cautious.
The first few times were just to test the waters, so Chen Feng only left behind the skeleton army awakened by Saruman to stop the first wave of attacks, forcing the insect world to retreat and regroup. From then on, the insect world went berserk again. It was also because of the flesh of the insect queen that Chen Feng signed a contract with the demigod mummy and completed a fair summoning. After that, their morale had plummeted. Recently, the insects hadn't made any movements, probably because they were afraid of being severely injured again. However, the insects wouldn't give up just like that!
Previously, when Chen Feng was only at the Legendary Stage, he felt a few terrifying auras. To be able to possess such terrifying strength, it was definitely not something a Legendary insect queen could possess. It was obvious that the opponent's strength had stepped into a higher level. Only an Epic insect could release such pressure.
The insects were accumulating.
They were waiting for a suitable opportunity to counterattack, but Chen Feng would never give them such a chance!
…
City of Silver
Teams of demon laborers were working hard. Under the orders of their supervisors, they cut down the trees in the forest one by one, and then transported the logs back. The area near the temporary camp set up by the demons was already bustling with activity. Many demons were busy working, and the outline of a foundation had been built nearby. Relying on their natural advantage of strength, the demons were very efficient. In just half a day, the rough outline of a fortress appeared.
The City of Silver was very efficient. Any base that could establish a force in the apocalypse should not be underestimated. The moment they obtained the demons, the upper echelons of the City of Silver treated them as targets for enslavement. Soon, the demons were scattered to different jobs.
City of Silver
The atmosphere in the conference hall was solemn as many Professionists discussed among themselves. One of them asked: "What? Order actually wants more people? "
Everyone at the scene was deeply worried.
Because this time, Order's public relations image was done too well. Even if the higher-ups had started to target Order, there were still many people who thought that Order was a true paradise.
If Order were to continue its recruitment, the City of Silver would one day become a truly empty city. Everything it had now would no longer be important.
"We must stop this!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
…
"As for the City of Silver, tell Xu Zhe not to be too hasty. I previously said that this is like boiling a frog in warm water. The recruitment this time is just a transaction. It doesn't involve the true core of each other. Wait patiently for the arrival of the cold wave. When that happens, order will take a step forward."
Chen Feng stared at the faraway river and muttered: "The price of acting now is too high. Even if [Order] doesn't fear any enemy, it's still better to avoid unnecessary sacrifices like this"
…
A gentle sea breeze blew in his face.
Flocks of seabirds could be seen in the distance under the azure sky. From time to time, figures of flying fishes would appear on the surface of the sea.
Everything in front of him was so novel and shocking to Li Kanghua, who had lived inland since he was young. He felt that the world was wider and he even had a yearning for life on the sea.
"This is Order?"
Li Kanghua didn't know when it started, but such a sentence appeared in his mind.
There were many people like Li Kanghua. Soon, others came to the deck and looked ahead in amazement.
Linlang Port was a newly built port. It could be said that this newly built port was filled with the blood of sea beasts. Even though it had been a long time, perhaps because too many sea beasts had died, the salty sea breeze still had a pungent smell of blood.
Order was like a legendary treasure. Li Kanghua had to admit that there was enough wealth here for him to keep digging.
…
A quiet and elegant house was located in an elegant courtyard. It was elegant and luxurious. Even the mutated plants were meticulously decorated. The air was filled with a sweet fragrance.
It was located in a remote area of the courtyard. A handsome young man with red lips and white teeth was leaning on a rocking chair and looking ahead.
In front of him were many kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables that were rarely seen outside. There were various kinds of fish and prawns in the pond and sea. There were also many mutated beasts that were hunted. These ingredients were all processed and cooked. Braised, roasted, stir-fried, and steamed. It looked, smelled, and tasted good.
This scene made it hard to imagine that this young man was in an apocalyptic world. Because in the refugee cave outside, there were people starving to death every day. It was unknown how many people could only eat wood shavings and grass to satisfy their hunger. They were so hungry that they were emaciated and had no energy. But he was living such a luxurious life. He casually picked up a piece of bread that refugees would fight for and threw it to the cloud mink that was wagging its tail at his feet.
The cloud mink didn't have any outstanding abilities. Other than its cute appearance and fast speed, it was useless.
This was the living example of a rich family where wine and meat went to waste and bones froze to death on the road.
It was the collapse of society, the crisis of survival, and the skyrocketing power of humans that led to such a deformed class difference in this world.
"Zizi …"
The pure white cloud mink looked at the food in its mouth and happily called out. It didn't know how many people behind the wall had paid a painful price for such a small amount of fresh food.
The young man saw that it was eating happily and chuckled. He revealed a naive and innocent expression and casually handed over a piece of cake. Then, he turned his head and stared ahead, continuing to watch his program that was at a critical moment.
Following the young man's gaze, there was an empty space the size of a basketball court in front of him. It was surrounded by fences that were as thick as a baby's arm, as if they were protecting something. Looking deeper, he saw a tall and sturdy giant with a ferocious face standing in the center of the field.
This was a bald giant that was close to three meters tall. His eyes were red and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He let out a beast-like roar and rushed forward with large strides like a mad demon.
This was a Giant Rock Beetle! From its appearance, it could be seen that this Giant Rock Beetle had not only evolved once. It had evolved many times and had already reached the level of a Corpse Devourer. However, what was surprising was that this evolved Corpse Devourer was kept in captivity here.
At this time, a fence on the wall of the empty space opened up. It was like the scene of gladiators entering the arena in ancient Rome. Six men in ragged clothes walked out one after another. They were of different ages, ranging from their teens to their forties. However, their appearances were the same. They were all skinny, as if they had not eaten for a long time.
When the men were released, they were surprised that they did not feel fear for the Corpse Devourer that was close at hand. Instead, they all turned their heads to the young man outside the fence and ran toward him like crazy. They waved their arms like ghosts that had been wronged and had crawled out of hell. Their facial features were completely distorted. Their arms passed through the fence and made tearing motions in the air.
The cloud mink saw this and cried out anxiously. It dropped the food in its mouth and jumped onto the young man. It was also frightened by everything in front of it.
The young man raised his hand and threw it away. He did not even look at his beloved dog that he had doted on a moment ago. Instead, he looked at the people standing by the fence with interest, as if he was waiting for something.
A fist the size of a bowl suddenly appeared in front of the young man. His pupils contracted and his arms trembled slightly. It was as if he was overly excited. The corners of his mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile. The Corpse Devourer's eyes were red. If the six people in front of it were like ghosts from hell, then it was the lowest level of evil spirit in hell. It swung its pale fist horizontally and heavily smashed into the crowd. A mist of blood exploded. Its two iron arms crisscrossed and slammed into the crowd again and again. At first, there were mournful screams, but in a moment, the screams came to an abrupt end. There was only the dull sound of iron fists smashing into the ground, mixed with the crisp sound of bones cracking.
The young man looked in disgust at the people who had been trampled into meat chunks by the Corpse Devourer. His interest waned. "Trash should have the perception of trash. Their lives are also a form of pain, and my responsibility is to help them alleviate their pain."
How could the cloud mink understand what the young man meant? However, when it saw its master, who had been looking at it fiercely a second ago, turn towards it, it couldn't be bothered to feel pity for it. It wagged its tail and came to the young man's side to rub against him.
The young man looked at the cloud mink, who was acting coquettishly at his feet, and smiled happily. He hugged it again and stroked its fur. "All of you are worse than beasts in life, and you still want to live? You're thinking too much. "
Su Tan.
This young man with a feminine name was, in fact, a complete Dark One. Throwing living people into cages to watch the tragedy of their dismembered corpses was just one of the City of Silver's foppish interests.
As everyone knew, the City of Silver was formed by many factions. The most dazzling ones were the Brotherhood and the Dragon Sect. And beneath the two Radiants, there were also many other factions.
The leaders of these factions weren't weak either. Similarly, they had their own means.
And Su Tan's father was one of the backbones of these factions. His father was a rather legendary name in the City of Silver. When he awakened, his consciousness was in a mess. Due to an illusion, he had personally slaughtered his parents and wife, sparing only Su Tan's life!
Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, but Su Tan's father doted on Su Tan in every possible way. He would satisfy any request Su Tan made. When he first discovered Su Tan's sadistic means, Su Tan's father had tried to stop him, but Su Tan used self-mutilation to humiliate himself. Over time, the lives of others were inferior to Su Tan's, and he was indeed guilty. Hence, most of the factions turned a blind eye to Su Tan's habits. No one dared to disrespect the young master.
"Su Tan, the Lord wants you to make a trip to the study." Just as Su Tan was excitedly watching how the Corpse Devourer ate, a man spoke up.
"Uncle Li, what do you think of this Corpse Devourer?" Su Tan asked with a chuckle without even turning his head.
The person Su Tan addressed as Uncle Li was a bald, capable man in his thirties. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were rather eye-catching. They were as sharp as an eagle's or a vulture's. They flashed with a ferocious light at all times.
Su Tan's father was originally a mafia boss around the City of Silver. During peaceful times, he kept a group of bodyguards to work for him. As for the person in front of him, he retired from the special forces. In order to earn money, he engaged in underground boxing for several years. To be able to survive in an environment where human lives were at stake, this man's strength was naturally not weak.
In particular, because of his excellent physique, he was considered one of the first batch of awakened talents. Now, his strength was already at the peak of the Gold level. He was only one step away from being sold to the Legendary level. When that time came, the faction led by Su Tan's father would naturally be on par with the Brotherhood.
The man seemed to be used to this scene. Without even lifting his eyelids, he said calmly, "A mutated corpse that was fed by several professionals and nurtured by a hundred ordinary people is naturally extraordinary. It only took a month to reach the peak of the Silver level. Your way of nurturing is getting more and more refined."
Su Tan stood up from the rocking chair and chuckled. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or worried from his indifferent face. He didn't say a word. Whether it was the professionals mentioned by the man or the hundreds of ordinary corpses, they were as simple as food to him. They didn't arouse his interest in the slightest.
Su Tan walked out naked. After making several turns, she came to a small courtyard filled with vegetables. She saw a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat who was bending over to weed.
The middle-aged man was about forty-five or forty-six years old. The hair at his temples was slightly balding. His eyebrows were thick and neat, and his eyes were sparkling. When he looked at people, he was very attentive. When he smiled, he revealed a mouthful of neat and slightly white teeth. His fingers were thick, and there was black mud between his fingernails. He wore an old green cotton jacket and a blue cloth apron around his waist.
It was hard to believe that such a man who looked like an old farmer was the person behind Su Tan. It was because of him that Su Tan could rely on her frail body to do whatever she wanted in the City of Silver.
Su Tan stood to the side obediently.
Since a year ago, Father Su's energy had greatly deteriorated. He had left everything in his hands to Su Tan. Although Su Tan was bloodthirsty, she wasn't bad at management. During this period of time, there were many rumors that there would be another faction in the City of Silver in the future, and Su Tan would play a huge role in it!
Seeing his son come, Father Su waved his hand and ordered the people around him to disperse. Only Su Tan and Father Su were left in the room. And at this moment, Father Su did something that shocked everyone. He took two steps forward and bowed. His hoarse voice resounded around him, "Master …"
A father actually addressed his son in such a manner?
On the other hand, Su Tan no longer had her exaggerated actions from before. She was like a professional actor. Countless complicated expressions flashed across her face.
"Get up," Su Tan nodded and said.
When Father Su heard all of this, he stood up from the ground. However, his reprimanding expression had turned extremely respectful.
Su Tan sat on a chair by the side and stared at Father Su. She said, "Let's put the plan on hold for now. Order? Because of its arrival, a year's worth of planning has been for naught. But we haven't failed. We're just laying low … "
"There's still a place for us in this land!"
