Under the night sky, many bonfires were lit in the square of the Economic Development Zone, on which countless insect meat cut into small pieces was roasted. The insect meat was tender and delicious, and exuded a meaty aroma.
The survivors in the Economic Development Zone either sat on the ground or gathered together to talk. Even some soldiers relaxed for a rare occasion and joined in the carnival to vent their tension, fear and worry since the end of the world. They were afraid that if they missed today, they would never have another chance to revel in the future.
The warm atmosphere on the scene made the blazing insect fire even more intense. Some survivors whose relatives had died were also infected and sang songs with roars. It was noisy, but no one scolded them because everyone was a little crazy and enjoying this rare carnival.
Even if they were not drinking at all, their consciousness was still in chaos due to their grief.
Except for the on-duty personnel, most people came here. Looking around, there were crowds of people everywhere, and many shadows were reflected under the light of the fire.
A rare harvest.
In this joint operation between the Economic Development Zone and Qiaodong, in addition to the successful killing of the dragon-patterned beetles, countless other insects were killed or injured. Even if some insect meat was given to Qiaodong, the number left was still astonishing.
This insect meat is enough to support a grand carnival.
The city has changed a lot.
In Chen Feng's memory, at this time in his previous life, when food was becoming increasingly scarce and the pressure of survival was becoming increasingly great, this kind of carnival was out of the question. Except for small banquets hosted by some high-level officials, ordinary people simply could not enjoy such treatment.
What's more, the Economic and Technological Development Zone at that time, because it was sparsely populated, its fate was no different from that of Qiaoxi. Most people moved to Qiaodong, which became a breeding ground for insects.
At that time, people were busy defending their positions and dealing with things every day. How could they have time for such gatherings? Even if they worked all day and were so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms, the food they got was just a little bit of food. Insect meat? This was simply unimaginable food.
But at this time, the Economic and Technological Development Zone underwent earth-shaking changes.
The emergence of mutated food not only solved the famine problem, but also because of the cohesion of fighting power, people had the opportunity to obtain some meat after a battle.
In such an environment, the worst that can be described as hardship, not despair.
After some distribution, all the things obtained from the insect nest have been transported to the two cities.
In addition to adult insects, there are even thousands of densely packed insect eggs in the insect nest. The insects have a super strong reproductive capacity. What's more, they have nothing to do in the dark underground. Apart from mating, they have nothing else to do.
As a result, the small space was filled with densely packed insect eggs. If no response was taken at the time, even if there was only a 30% chance of survival, these insect eggs would have become a nightmare-level disaster for mankind.
However, now, these insect eggs have lost the chance to hatch, and instead have become delicacies. After a series of cooking processes, they are sent to the dining table.
“Please taste…”
A chef laughed and handed a plate to Chen Feng.
"This is the pupa of the Ice Flame Golden Cicada. It is very rare. Only ten were found in this insect nest. I specially prepared this one according to your taste. Sir, please try it..."
This is a capable person.
It can perfectly combine food and medicine.
In peacetime, he was a famous medicinal chef in the neighborhood, and his clients were all high-ranking officials. It was difficult for ordinary people to taste his cooking skills.
This man has good cooking skills and speaks well, so he used to cook ingredients for Chen Feng and has been serving him for more than two months.
It's not a shame.
On the contrary, in the entire order, there are countless people eyeing this position. Who is Chen Feng now? It is no exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the entire Economic Development Zone. Being able to serve him means that he has a huge backer.
In addition, Chen Feng enjoyed the highest treatment in the city. As the royal chef, he could occasionally benefit from the other party's favor. At the very least, he could eat and drink enough without worrying about hunger.
Under such competitive pressure, the chefs dare not be negligent. They put 100% of their effort into every dish and strive for perfection.
Ordinary cicada pupae are only half the size of a palm, but this mutant cicada pupa is as big as an apple. At this time, the chef cuts it into six petals and sprinkles fragrant royal nectar on it. It is so sweet.
"Yeah, it's really good."
Chen Feng picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. The moment it touched his lips and teeth, the so-called cicada pupa seemed to melt, and a rich fragrance immediately emanated from his mouth.
Ice Flame Golden Cicada.
This can be considered an alien species among insects, with extremely strong talents. As long as it is guaranteed to have sufficient food, it is only a matter of time before it enters the silver level. In the eyes of some insect controllers, it is simply a treasure.
However, the flesh and blood of the Ice Flame Golden Cicada is poisonous.
Because this is a kind of insect that can use ice and fire at the same time, many parts of it contain unknown toxins, and if you eat it carelessly, it may cause direct death!
Only masters of Chen Feng's level can use it with confidence. If it were an ordinary person, just one bite would cause him to vomit blood and die, and his life would be completely gone.
This is like taking supplements. For some people with weak constitutions, the more supplements they take, the more harmful it will be to their bodies.
After swallowing it, energy grew in the body, and many hidden illnesses from the past slowly subsided under this tonic, and the person's whole spirit even improved a lot.
This is the charm of medicinal food.
"reward!"
Chen Feng uttered a word softly, and the chef next to him, who had seen some worldly things, nodded hurriedly to express his gratitude.
The adults are not stingy.
In the order, being able to get a "reward" from Chen Feng is definitely a pleasant surprise.
Looking at the graceful insect fire, looking at the dancing people, and then tasting the delicious food on the plate, Chen Feng suddenly felt that this kind of life was not bad.
However, this thought disappeared in just a moment.
Born in adversity, die in comfort.
Comfort is also a taboo word in doomsday.
If alcohol paralyzes people's brains, then comfort will corrode people's functions and souls.
Chen Feng knew clearly that the reason why he could see all this was because he relied on a powerful force. If there was no power to support all this, this city and even all the people here would become desolate ruins and rotting corpses.
The banquet lasted for two hours, and at around eleven o'clock, the carnival party finally ended.
Most people returned to their houses to rest, while a small number of people began to clean up the mess. Because of the mess, there were occasionally a few pieces of uneaten insect meat on the ground. At this time, the staff would carefully wrap them in their pockets and put them into their clothes.
At this time, the patrolling soldiers turned a blind eye and did not speak up to stop these people's behavior.
Another hour passed.
The square became completely quiet. It was hard to imagine that a lively event with a lot of people had just been held here.
Order requires a curfew!
At twelve o'clock in the evening, except for patrol officers and staff, ordinary people must return to their rooms. After a period of familiarization, people strictly abide by these regulations.
There are many rules in the order. Although they may seem cumbersome to some people, no one dares to protest directly because they know who is the ruler here.
Chen Feng.
This is not an existence that is easy to mess with.
… … … …
A corner of order.
This is a restricted area for most people because this is where Chen Feng lives.
But now, Chen Feng did not go to bed early as usual, but stood in the empty courtyard, staring at the corpse in front of him.
This corpse has a powerful name.
Dragon beetle.
One of the generals of the Insect King, he had rampaged through the battlefields of his previous life, killing countless humans. His life ended before he could even unleash his terrifying brilliance, and he became what he is now.
Compared to the insects in the hive, the corpse of the insect king is the most useful thing because it can be used to refine many sophisticated equipment.
The shell of the dragon beetle has super strong defensive power. With a little processing, it can be made into a fine shield. If the craftsmanship is more precise, it can even be made into several sets of armor.
Even if Chen Feng doesn't wear it, he can use it to arm his core subordinates!
Just think about it, when Wei Xun is equipped with this kind of armor, coupled with his terrifying arms, his defense will be greatly increased, and he can completely challenge more powerful opponents.
Therefore, as early as when he came back, Chen Feng ordered his men to strip off the dragon-patterned beetle's shell. At this time, the insect king was lying in a pool of blood, his flesh and blood blurred, like a skinned whale, and even looked a little miserable.
Apart from the beetle shell, blood, internal organs, insect meat, etc. are basically treasures. If you use them to feed insects, it won't take long before many mutant insects are bred.
But Chen Feng wouldn't do that.
He even rejected the request of the inferior demon, so how could he give those brainless bugs an advantage? For Chen Feng, he had more important things to do.
call.
The dragon beetle's body contains powerful energy. If it is used to summon, perhaps some good helpers can be recruited.
Chen Feng took out a blade and slashed it on the body of the dragon-patterned beetle. Without the protection of the insect armor, its body was cut into pieces and blood immediately flowed out.
He carefully drew a summoning circle with insect blood around him, and then inserted his hands into the opponent's flesh and blood. Although the process was a bit disgusting, this method was more likely to gain the favor of monsters.
The sacrifice has been made.
Next, it’s time to witness the magic…
