After three rounds of drinking.
Wang Feng's face was rosy, and his eyes were much more relaxed. He was not as cautious as before!
In this environment, material shortages reached an alarming level. Feng Zhiyong was a very honest man and ordered his officers to set an example. Therefore, although Wang Feng did not go hungry on weekdays, it had been a long time since he had eaten meat like today.
The decoration in the room is not gorgeous, but it gives people a very neat feeling. Everything is neatly placed, showing the rigor of the owner.
Now, only Chen Feng and Wang Feng were alone in a room. As for the others, each of them had their own work to do and they all left.
"Huh..."
Wang Feng took a sip of hot tea and slowly exhaled hot air.
"Wang Feng, how is my job here? Would you consider staying? You have the ability, but you are just a small leader in the exploration department. It's a bit of a waste of your talent."
Chen Feng sat aside and spoke lightly.
"… "
Wang Feng was speechless. He had not expected that before the two sides had even started the formal conversation, Chen Feng actually started to recruit him and wanted him to stay and work for him.
It's nice here.
With skeleton warriors, you can kill insects endlessly and make them into jerky, which can even fill the stomachs of ordinary people.
However, there is no necromancer in the east of the bridge. If you want to hunt insects, you have to do it yourself. Ordinary people can't do it. If you encounter a bronze-level insect, you may be wiped out. Professionals also have times when they are exhausted. Even if they hunt, they need time to recover.
Therefore, the hunting work in Qiaodong cannot be scaled up at all. When professionals go out, they mostly hunt high-level insects and eliminate the backbone of monsters, rather than like the Order, to store food for the survivors.
not to mention…
Jingkai District is just a newly developed new district, located in only a corner of the city, while Qiaodong and Qiaoxi are old urban areas, with an area that is more than ten times larger than Jingkai District. With such a vast area, it is conceivable that there are an astonishing number of monsters and insects.
In this situation, even a professional like Wang Feng needs to be cautious. If he is not careful, he will be surrounded by the swarm of insects and there will be no possibility of escape.
Hearing Chen Feng's recruitment, it would be a lie to say that Wang Feng was not moved. After all, everyone wants to live a good life, but... Wang Feng is Feng Zhiyong's confidant and a supporter of the war faction. He shook his head and whispered, "Thank you for your kindness, Lieutenant Chen, but you have so many talented people here, and one less person like me won't make a difference. I still want to serve the colonel. Sorry."
Chen Feng waved his hand and didn't say anything more about the matter.
Although Feng Zhiyong was just an ordinary person, he was deeply loved by the soldiers below him. He only mentioned the matter of recruiting Wang Feng casually, and he did not hold much hope in the first place.
"Wang Feng, I don't like hypocrisy. You followed Zhang Jianxiong to Order, you must have some plan, tell me, let me hear it." Chen Feng's face showed no sadness or joy, and his tone of voice did not change.
Wang Feng's face turned heavy when he heard this. He said, "Second Lieutenant Chen, Colonel Feng did have something for me to tell you. Although the Economic Development Zone is peaceful, the survivors in Qiaodong are still in dire straits. Especially during this period, the insects' behavior is very strange. The insects that used to be in separate groups have actually gathered together. This is not a good sign."
Hearing Wang Feng's story, Chen Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the chair, making a "tapping" sound.
This is a sign of an insect tidal outbreak. Humans are gathering the survivors, and the insect king is also beginning to gather its forces. The insects are even no longer fighting each other, but instead are gathering together, quietly waiting for the moment of the outbreak.
There is only one insect king, the three-winged magic fly, in the Economic Development Zone, but on the east side of the bridge, the terrain is vast and there are four insect kings hiding. You can imagine how bad the situation has become.
Seeing Chen Feng remained silent, Wang Feng seemed a little anxious and spoke again: "Second Lieutenant Chen, there are two voices in Qiaodong now. Colonel Feng is the leader of the war faction. We insist on fighting. Peace cannot be exchanged for peace. Only by scaring, crippling, and killing the insects can the survivors live safely on this land, but..."
Wang Feng clenched his fists, his face turning slightly red: "But... now the conservatives have the upper hand in the camp. They say that we need to recuperate now and are not suitable for fighting at all. If we rashly start a war, it will only cause casualties for no reason!"
“Bang!”
Speaking of arousal, Wang Feng punched the chair and said in a deep voice with gritted teeth: "The conservatives are mostly selfish villains, but they have firmly grasped the weakness of people's fear of death, so much so that they have now gained the upper hand, and even some officers have turned against Colonel Feng."
"Colonel Feng knows that you are loyal and brave. You risked your life alone to save everyone. So, the colonel wants to ask for your help. The conservatives can't count on you, but we must go out of the city to kill the enemy and win a piece of pure land for mankind!"
Chen Feng listened to Wang Feng's compliment and a strange look appeared on his face.
Loyal and courageous
The reason they were rescued was just to get them away as quickly as possible so that they could use the corpses all over the playground for a blood sacrifice. There was no kindness in that at all.
However, Chen Feng would not say it out loud. After all, in the eyes of Wang Feng and others, this was a huge favor.
War faction, conservative faction.
Chen Feng had some understanding of the grievances between the two forces. Wang Feng was right. In the previous life, the conservatives were the mainstream consciousness that eventually occupied Qiaodong.
No one wants to die.
Ordinary people were unwilling to do so, and professionals who had gained abilities were even more reluctant to take risks and sacrifice their lives in battle. Under such circumstances, the conservatives ultimately won the victory and controlled 70% of the power in the camp.
However, it was precisely because of this that when the insect tide broke out, people still believed in the so-called peace. By the time the insects broke through the defenses and began to devour the survivors, it was too late. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people became food in the insects' stomachs.
For Chen Feng, of course he knew that it was right to support Feng Zhiyong. However, the other party was not under his control. If he supported the other party, even if he won, he would be making things difficult for others. What's more, although the conservatives were a little timid, they gathered most of the strength of the camp. They were full of masters, and there were even peak silver masters. Once they fell out, they would most likely be counterattacked by the other party, and by then, the gain would outweigh the loss.
What Chen Feng has to do now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When the time comes, he will strike at the snake's weak spot and kill it with one blow!
Doomsday is a quagmire. Chen Feng must be careful and cautious with every step he takes. Once he makes a mistake, there will be no chance to start over.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng said, "Well, now that we are facing a great enemy, humans should unite. Go back and tell Colonel Feng that I will visit him in person in a few days and we can discuss it then."
Wang Feng felt a little disappointed after hearing Chen Feng's reply. The other party was very good at weighing pros and cons and didn't even make the most basic statement. However, he had done his best. If Chen Feng didn't say anything, he didn't dare to force the other party to make a decision. He could only wait for a few days and have Colonel Feng personally persuade him, hoping that some miracle would happen.
If Chen Feng could really support the pro-war faction, then Colonel Feng would be even more powerful. Not to mention anything else, his ability to control skeletons alone would be enough to rival thousands of elite soldiers. Skeletons could fight on behalf of soldiers, and many people could be saved.
Chen Feng didn't care about Wang Feng's thoughts. At this time, he seemed to remember something and said again: "Wang Feng, you said you usually do exploration work. I want to ask you, have you seen some monsters or insects with extraordinary strength?"
"Huh?" Wang Feng didn't expect Chen Feng to bring this up. He was a little surprised, but he calmed down in an instant: "Second Lieutenant Chen, this kind of thing is Qiaodong's secret, I can't..."
"One hundred kilograms of dried meat." Chen Feng directly stretched out a piece of dried meat.
Wang Feng was stunned for a moment. One hundred kilograms of dried meat was not a small amount. Even for a professional at the second lieutenant level, he had never heard of obtaining so much meat at one time.
An idea sprouted in Wang Feng's mind. However, the distribution of monsters was a secret of the camp. As a member of the exploration department, how could he break the law
"Two hundred kilograms!" Seeing Wang Feng hesitate, Chen Feng increased the stakes again.
"I..." Wang Feng spoke unclearly, obviously not knowing what to say.
"Three hundred pounds!" Chen Feng didn't give the other party a chance to breathe.
Food is now the most important supply in the camp. In the black market, some women will even sell their bodies for food. Two steamed buns are enough for a night. It is conceivable that the value of this dried meat, if converted into currency, is an astonishing amount.
Wang Feng was stunned. He was shocked at first, then solemn, and finally pale. He let out a long breath.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Feng knew that something was going to happen, and said, "I won't hide it from you. My subordinates have strange abilities. They need the lives of some strong people as sacrifices to become stronger. Secret? I am not colluding with the monster. My goal is to kill it and obtain its body. It will only benefit Qiaodong in both public and private matters."
Chen Feng continued, "You are not leaking secrets, but doing a good deed for the people. If I can kill that powerful monster, Qiao Dong won't have to do it himself. At that time, how many casualties can be reduced? Have you calculated it?"
Hearing Chen Feng's persuasion and thinking of the dried meat, Wang Feng raised his head, as if he had finally figured it out, and said word by word: "A giant worm was found in the Xishan Cemetery in the northeast of the bridge. This worm has an amazing momentum and likes to drill out from the ground to hurt people. No one knows its length because its body has never fully appeared. It is not afraid of knives or gunshots. At that time, a second lieutenant led a team of 30 people to investigate, but no one survived. Since then, the place has been guarded. The camp is preparing to send experts to investigate after a few days."
Hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes slowly lingered, and he secretly said in his heart: "The five great insect kings, the giant earthworm that drills the ground!"
