Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over these days, Bridge East demonstrated terrifying mobilization power. The damaged streets began to be rebuilt, and the injured were properly arranged. Notably, the broken city walls were finally repaired this morning.
The fall of the conservative leadership led to some power struggles and minor chaos, but it was promptly suppressed and did not worsen.
Aside from this, Li Siyu garnered attention.
In recent days, rumors have continuously spread that an Angel saved Bridge East, stirring some public opinion. The fervor of this notion gradually fermented, and some people even began molding clay figures to pray and worship at home.
Humanity fears the unknown.
Li Siyu's appearance was perfectly timed, and with Chen Feng's intentional arrangement, the powerful Devil was nothing in front of her.
No one expected such surging fervor; even Chen Feng was slightly surprised by the adoration Li Siyu received.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Soon, Chen Feng bribed some operatives mingling in the crowd to spread the news that Li Siyu was from Order. Moreover, with deliberate embellishment, Li Siyu's identity became enigmatic, and some rumors even suggested she was a real Angel from another world sent to save humanity.
Exaggerated rumors.
This was precisely what Chen Feng wanted to see. To dismantle a power, one must start with the spirit, and Li Siyu's appearance undoubtedly became the best choice.
Believers.
The crowds discussing were all potential believers of Chen Feng.
......
Due to the busyness in Bridge East in recent days, Chen Feng found himself enjoying a rare period of relaxation after being busy for so long.
When the Devils descended, there were casualties among the Warriors from Order, but this was very normal. Chen Feng would not allow himself to feel depressed over the loss of one or two subordinates.
This was not cold-bloodedness.
It's merely that he had long been accustomed to such partings.
Is there any war without deaths? If Chen Feng grieved every time someone died, he would exhaust himself to death.
As a superior, Chen Feng did not have the time to focus on the life or death of lower-level warriors.
In fact, he had already made arrangements. All Warriors who sacrificed for Order, aside from receiving a large compensation (insect meat) posthumously, would have their families properly cared for.
This was very compassionate.
In the apocalypse, the benefits Chen Feng provided even made others envious.
This is why being a Warrior in Order was a highly coveted profession.
Initially, they feared battle because it meant stepping closer to death, and hardly anyone would voluntarily take up arms and join the fight.
However, after a series of propaganda, these thoughts began to change. Becoming a Warrior not only allowed them to eat well, but they could also receive insect meat weekly. More importantly, even if they fell in battle, their families would be cared for.
That's how simple it was.
Anyway, the surroundings were very dangerous. You never knew when a zombie or an insect might appear. Rather than die meaninglessly, leaving their families lonely and struggling, it was better to make use of what they could. Even if they died in battle, they could give their families a carefree life.
People risk their lives for money, just as birds do for food.
This was a very simple truth.
Chen Feng offered sufficient stakes to get people to risk their lives for him.
This was not considered ruthless but a fair trade.
"Knock, knock..."
A knocking sound came from the door.
After receiving permission, Wei Xun entered from outside. He appeared slightly thin and even had a hint of nervousness in his expression.
Having witnessed the Devils, Wei Xun knew full well that his strength was still insufficient. Currently, this man held power he could never have imagined before. In all of Bridge East, he was the unofficial second in command, surpassing even Xu Zhe.
But the higher you stand, the colder it gets.
Due to the growth of Order, some newcomers also began to emerge, and many wanted to replace him. This awakening kept Wei Xun on alert, spending most of his time in combat practice in recent days.
Chen Feng leaned against a soft chair, looked at Wei Xun, and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
Wei Xun slightly bowed and quickly said, "Sir, the supplies are already on the way. Additionally, Order reports that the mutated corn research has succeeded, and it is now being planted."
Food is the paramount necessity for people.
Everything else could be set aside, but food was indispensable. In this new era, the strength of a power was greatly influenced by food.
Therefore, Chen Feng vigorously developed food research, providing whatever was needed without any hesitation.
And Du Men did not disappoint, gradually transforming some mutated foods into materials that humans could consume under strong support.
Although Chen Feng was in Bridge East, he was not clueless about Order. Every few days, someone would come over to convey information, allowing Chen Feng to clearly know all the changes within Order.
However, after finishing the report, Wei Xun did not leave, as if hesitating about something.
Chen Feng frowned at Wei Xun, questioning, "Is there anything else?"
Wei Xun hesitated for a moment, then nodded after a brief contemplation, "Sir, aside from these matters, someone has signed up for the Awakening Experiment. He is now serving in the Personal Guard camp and is named Lu Wei."
Wei Xun's hesitation was because this matter was too trivial, so trivial that as the second-in-command of the camp, he could completely decide it himself.
