The crowd was buzzing.
To the Warriors present, everything Chen Feng had just promised felt like a dream, plunging everyone into a state of frenzy.
Chen Fengâs promise was not just a simple reward, but a solution to alleviate some peopleâs worries.
Among more than two thousand Warriors, many brought their families to Order. Their biggest fear during missions was dying in battle and leaving their families unattended.
But just now...
Chen Feng had personally promised on stage that even if they died in battle, their families would be cared for and not left behind.
To those with relatives, this was like music from heaven. Some emotional ones even lay on the ground, unable to stand for a long time.
These people clearly knew what kind of environment they were inâdanger could strike at any time, and during battles, all sorts of accidents might happen. They had no choice but couldnât ignore their familyâs futureâthe helpless young children, the kind and loving parents, and the spouse who shared their hardships and joysâall of these were their last attachments in their hearts.
But now, Chen Fengâs promise allowed them to lay down the heavy burden in their hearts. At this moment, their main thought was to kill more monsters on the battlefield to bring a better life to their families.
As for deception, that was impossible.
Who was standing on the stage? The ruler of Order, the one who shelters everyone. His words had never been broken.
Among the crowd, Lu Wei was also roaring. He clenched his fists, and his face had turned red from excessive shouting, but he continued to roar, using this way to express his respect and admiration for Chen Feng.
Lu Wei knew what kind of profession he was in. The daily running and training were not just to eat more meals; he would inevitably step onto the battlefield, where swords have no eyes. Even the most battle-hardened soldiers cannot guarantee theyâll leave the battlefield unscathed.
Especially in this apocalypse, the methods of monsters are often more brutal and terrifying than swords.
When his parents were eaten by insects, Lu Weiâs family dispersed. He and his sister supported each other until today. Even with a house and food, there were times when insecurity crept in.
He feared that one day, dying in the wild, his sister would be bullied by others, as after all, she was just a seven-year-old child, like a little Flower outside, where even a slight breeze and drizzle could cause serious damage.
But now...
Chen Fengâs promise gave Lu Wei a shot of adrenaline.
Even if he someday died in the wild, there would be someone to take care of his sister. Her guardian was the cityâs ruler, and no one dared defy his orders.
Home.
By this time, they finally had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
.........
"Youâve been selected."
Just when Lu Wei was immersed in joy, Wei Xun came to him and said in a proud voice, "In a few days, the master is going to Bridge East, and some Guards are needed for the journey. Youâre one of them."
"Lucky brat!"
"Fight hard. If you manage to gain the masterâs favor, you might even leap to new heights."
Wei Xun didnât bother asking Lu Weiâs opinion. He had absolute command over these ordinary Warriors, and even a hint of unwillingness from Lu Wei would result in corresponding punishment.
This time, Chen Feng was going to Bridge East for business, naturally requiring Guards to accompany him, and Wei Xun was the leader of these Guards.
Wei Xun was smart, having survived through the cruel apocalypse till now, successfully advancing to silver rank. His intelligence wasnât lacking. He remembered clearly that Chen Feng had said to give Lu Wei a little extra care.
Since then, Wei Xun inquired about Lu Weiâs situation. At eighteen, he was just an ordinary person who had a seven-year-old sister. Talent-wise, apart from his grasp of the dagger, there were no noteworthy highlightsâan ordinary person who wouldnât stand out in a crowd.
Average appearance, mediocre Talent;
It was hard to imagine what the master saw in him, but Wei Xun was clever for this exact reasonânever defying Chen Fengâs orders. Since the master asked him to care more for Lu Wei, he arranged for Lu Wei to be part of the Guards this time.
Chen Feng leaving the city, these Guards were practically his Personal Guard, handling everything from daily necessities to battle reconnaissanceâproviding many opportunities to interact with the higher-ups.
Moreover, accompanying the ruler of Order on a trip, this reward was surely attractive. According to logic, with Lu Weiâs capability, he wouldnât have been selected for this Guard. However, Chen Fengâs inadvertent hint was deeply remembered by Wei Xun, providing Lu Wei with this rare opportunity.
This was downright unbelievable. Even when Lu Wei received the news, he showed a face full of surprise.
After sending Wei Xun off, he paused for a moment before hurrying back homeâhe needed to explain things to his sister before leaving for a distant place.
.........
In a huge room full of iron railings, there were dozens of strangely shaped vicious beasts and bugs held inside.
Black Flame Crane, Electric Sheep, Purple Copper Weasel, Full Moon Beetle, Red Elemental Turtle, Giant Wing Mantis...
These monsters and bugs were held in cages, each looking extremely weak, murmuring with little energy, clearly without much prowess. They had been captured for some time, but food supply was scarceânot a single feed for three days and water every two daysâto keep them perpetually weak so they couldnât unleash their true power.
These beings had undergone mutation, greatly enhancing their vitality. If they were ordinary creatures, they would have already starved to death, unable to last this long.
Chen Feng stood in the center, while Xu Zhe accompanied him, patiently explaining, "Master, apart from one Earth-shaking Rat who disobeyed orders and was executed, the remaining thirteen âvaccinesâ are all here."
Vaccines?
Xu Zhe referring to these monsters as vaccines left people puzzled.
Chen Feng glanced silently at these creatures, muttering, "Are the test subjects ready?"
Xu Zhe lowered his head and said solemnly, "They are all set, each one is a top-notch individual selected from hundreds. In terms of physical capabilities and strength, theyâre the best in the camp. Plus, I screened them personally; there are traces for each one, eliminating the possibility of spies sent from outside."
Hearing the reply, Chen Feng nodded slightly and softly said, "Then letâs begin."
Test subjects.
Vaccines.
At this moment, Chen Fengâs intentions were clearâto attempt using sacrificial methods, similar to what was done previously to Wei Xun, to completely graft the bloodline and abilities of these monsters onto human bodies!
