Chapter 616: Chapter 602: Round Table Conference
The gorge gate no longer has pending matters; survivors continue to evacuate, while warriors from Order head there for a month-long Blood Sea training.
A very cliché name.
But whether for Silver Tier professionals or ordinary warriors proficient in firearms, it is an experience they cannot forget.
Chen Feng does not advocate letting warriors permanently stay in the insect tide, as excessive exposure to slaughter will generate many negative emotions.
When the mind is under unbearable pressure, the main symptoms include nightmares, drastic personality changes, emotional separation, numbness (emotional abstinence or detachment), insomnia, avoidance of triggering traumatic memories, irritability, hyper-vigilance, amnesia, and easily startled.
Chen Feng does not want all his subordinates to become mentally ill.
A month’s time is just right; it allows them to face a true disaster and ends everything before their minds collapse.
Yet even so, the month-long special training also lets the warriors experience true despair.
Swarms of insects squeeze through the cracks desperately; if it’s just a battle, not only would warriors not fear, but feel curious, after all, whether it’s the power of professionals or advanced weapons, they seem to be able to settle everything completely.
But the Insect Realm breaks apart every few days; from initial curiosity, the warriors’ ideas undergo a dramatic transformation—bewilderment, fear, until collapse.
The insects seem limitless, even though the land around the crack has turned reddish-brown from blood, a color of life withered, it does not stop their advance.
Kill tens of thousands; days later, new insects descend, screeching, roaring, repeating the death methods of the predecessors.
Witnessing all this, warriors couldn’t help but wonder if... if one day there are no skeletons blocking ahead, when the Insect Realm fully opens, countless insects descend, even humans with professionals will be exhausted, weapons however excellent will wear down, be consumed.
In such a situation, everything the warriors proudly possess is utterly meaningless.
In this scenario, a peculiar phenomenon arises, that is, warriors newly arrived at the gorge gate still show arrogance of "I’m a veteran," but after participating in two or three insect tides, they become much more silent; the arrogance from before is replaced with heaviness.
And this, this is exactly what Chen Feng wants to see.
After a year and a half of development, Order is stable; after attacking and plundering many forces, even some Dimensional Creatures pride themselves on being Order’s residents, Order, a utopia personally built by Chen Feng, has been dubbed invincible by most people.
Order’s residents already have a strong sense of identity; surviving the apocalypse’s initial phase, they firmly believe Order is their paradise, under Chen Feng and the warriors’ protection, everyone lives stably, food, safety, even some convenient facilities, Order changes every day.
It’s good for ordinary residents to have this mindset because they’ve accepted Order from the heart, but Chen Feng finds that not only residents, even some professionals and warriors subtly change due to this notion.
Order’s power robs them of reverence.
Mighty beasts confined in the zoo, rhinos standing five meters tall, can pierce through lighthouses with a sprint, yet they are merely playthings for children to observe.
The zombies living on flesh and blood are completely eradicated; in their place are skeleton warriors clad in steel helmets, loyal to humans, guarding hazardous areas despite being Undead.
As for those mutated insects, they’re confined in an eco-park on the west of the bridge, where warriors harvest periodically; rather than danger, it’s more like a picking park, the hideous insects soon become fresh meat on the slabs of farm markets.
Can’t blame the warriors’ pride; after all, Order’s currently too powerful, in an area spanning hundreds of miles, it’s truly invincible.
This mindset is very dangerous.
Chen Feng can accept ordinary residents’ pride in Order, but won’t allow warriors to have this emotion; a warrior without reverence is like a longsword soaked in water, prolonged corrosion makes rust appear on the blade.
The Insect Realm’s convergence is indeed a disaster, but for the warriors, it’s likewise a warning; this world has already transformed, what is temporary stability? Across this world’s corners, enemies and dangers potentially more terrifying than Order could emerge anytime!
Having witnessed the insect tide, warriors gradually remove rust from the blade; now, they regain reverence for the future and the distant outside.
After three months of training, warriors’ mental states change a lot; compared to previous laziness in life, they become much calmer now, as everyone’s burdened with some pressure.
Peace?
This word belongs only to Order; outside, on distant lands, countless disasters and misfortunes remain.
Chen Feng isn’t a savior, nor self-claimed hero who gathers all pressure on himself; the original intent of establishing Order was to share pressure, and after enjoying short-lived stability, it’s time for them to repay.
Pressure leads to motivation.
This is a phrase Chen Feng always adheres to.
.....................
Order.
A few prominent figures sit around a huge round table.
These people hold significant position in Order; Wei Xun, Xu Hongzhuang, Lu Wei, Mata are beings at the pyramid’s pinnacle.
And without exception, after some period of effort, they’ve all promoted to Golden Tier!
Wei Xun reports the situation beside; Xu Hongzhuang sits opposite, slightly frowning, some of Wei Xun’s proposals seem to infringe Xu Hongzhuang’s interests, at this moment, the two are confronting, intent on using fists and feet to determine superiority.
Devouring countless Beast Souls, Wei Xun successfully promoted, becoming a golden strong entity, while Xu Hongzhuang also deciphered life and death in a dangerous battle, stepping into the dreamt Golden Tier.
Months ago, Chen Feng integrated all powers surrounding Order; in such situation, millions of population gather, the original old city couldn’t accommodate these people, hence a larger city is being constructed urgently.
