Abyss Summoner-Chapter 115 - 113: City of Order

"Team One, target spotted." On top of a ten-story building, a man in camouflage, thin in stature, spoke.

What was surprising was that he held no binoculars in his hands, relying solely on his naked eyes to watch the distance. A closer look would reveal his pupils were much smaller than normal, like a circular hole, emitting a faint glow.

Professional.

This was a professional who had strengthened his eyes, able to clearly see scenes hundreds of meters away, and even penetrate the night like ultraviolet light.

In the hazardous environment where power was paralyzed and zombies roamed, he was like a powerful searchlight that could monitor any corner. Though his physique was just fundamentally strengthened, he was a perfect logistics officer, an indispensable non-combat personnel in team collaboration.

After a period of recuperation, Chen Feng’s influence grew like a snowball, not only adding more than a thousand ordinary people but also recruiting three professionals.

Although these people’s skills were not outstanding, just ordinary Bronze Level, they possessed some extraordinary abilities. Like the man in front of them who awakened the Pupil Technique, directly appointed as the leader of the reconnaissance group, responsible for the reconnaissance work of the entire force.

Xu Zhe’s Brain Realm was enhanced, with Chen Feng retreating backstage, he fully managed the camp’s deployment work.

Reconnaissance Group, Combat Group, Medical Group, Logistics Group, Research Group, Scavenging Group.

Xu Zhe established six departments, these departments had clear divisions of labor, propping up the entire force like a framework. If, in the past, it was only small skirmishes that formed no real climate, then now, as the numbers soared, the camp accommodated more than three thousand people, becoming the largest force in the Economic Development Zone, bar none.

They moved to a new home.

Northern Academy.

The city’s foremost institution, covering 203 acres, with sixteen large buildings able to accommodate tens of thousands of people simultaneously. Except for some low buildings that were attacked resulting in collapse, the other buildings remained pristine, requiring no renovation.

The reconnaissance group consisted of 300 people distributed all over the academy, implementing a shift system to monitor the surroundings 24 hours a day.

The academy’s most conspicuous feature was its walls. Originally, the academy only had a few low walls for show, but now, at the gate rose a six-meter-high stone wall, mixed with soil, giving not a sense of ugliness, but a rugged beauty.

Solid.

In the face of the apocalypse, nothing is more important than safety.

Among the recently recruited professionals, besides one Pupil Master, there was also an Earth Element Elemental Master, capable of manipulating soil and stones. Over the past time, working more than ten hours every day, finally erected this giant stone wall at the academy’s front gate, 15 meters long and 6 meters high.

Under normal circumstances, an Elemental Master working two days in a row would collapse exhausted, but in Chen Feng’s possession was Blood Honey that increased mental and physical strength, within ten days, the Elemental Master consumed a total of three pounds of Blood Honey, the entire camp’s reserve, consuming the blood of thirteen mutated beasts and nine insects.

Though Blood Honey was precious, it was far less valuable than the city wall.

Chen Feng understood the importance of prioritizing, the city wall could effectively prevent monster attacks.

However, a six-meter-high city wall was just the beginning, in the future, the standard height for city walls in some large cities was 50 meters. Such walls, not know how many Earth Element Elemental Masters consolidated them day and night, capable of withstanding an eighth-grade earthquake, that level of wall was truly a fortress.

Currently, the force only has one Elemental Master, incapable of constructing such walls. Chen Feng’s goal is just to encircle the academy first, then recruit more Elemental Masters to slowly enhance defense.

Dripping water penetrates stone, but not in a day.

This is a task of long-term commitment.

.........

Inside the academy.

Hundreds of survivors following Wei Xun finally saw the legendary sanctuary.

Many people curiously surveyed their surroundings, the impression it gave them wasn’t one of prosperity, but rather of cleanliness and comfort. After a period of hiding, they had already witnessed the vicissitudes of life, compared to the bewilderment and confusion at the onset of the apocalypse, they had grown accustomed to the changes around them.

Ruins, desolation, coldness, despair.

Monsters attacked the city, turning it into a wasteland in the blink of an eye, everywhere were collapsed walls and houses. During this time, they lived like mice hiding in the dark, leading a life of today without tomorrow.

In such an environment, some people even developed depression, long subjected to pressure and hunger, choosing to end it all, some desperate people, even before suicide, personally ended the lives of their children and loved ones, sparing them from this agony without hope.

If one could truly live on, who would kill their children and loved ones with their own hands?

But now...

When these people walked into the academy, many couldn’t help but show a surprising look on their faces. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It wasn’t that the surrounding architecture was particularly awe-inspiring, but on the wide roads, there were occasional busy figures, either doing repair work, or in groups of ten, patrolling with weapons, still others would push shopping carts, transporting food back and forth.

Wide roads, clean ground, moving crowds.

These people were utterly bewildered, in that moment, they felt as if they were in another world, as if they had returned to the beginning of the apocalypse, with a family leisurely strolling in the academy after breakfast.

Civilization!

Compared to the outside where survival is uncertain and people scuttle like rats hiding from place to place, the world before their eyes is completely bleak, while here, it’s like the first ray of dawn piercing through, bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

A group of women gathered together, observed the people walking around, and noticed that among them, there were women participating in work, either in repairs or transport, and they were dressed neatly, their complexions rosy, seemingly having not suffered any abuse.

Collapse of morals.

In the face of despair and terror, some men vented their fears on women, attempting to use physical pleasure to drive away their inner terror.

Women became the victims.

They not only suffered mental fear but also had to endure physical pain. To obtain some food, they were forced into filthy transactions with the thugs.

Among these women were teachers, lawyers, students, even some young professors from prestigious universities. If it were a time of peace, each of them would be a favored child, would find their ideal match, and lead a peaceful and happy life. Yet, as the apocalypse descended, to make ends meet, they shed tears while taking off their clothes, trying to please those ravenous thugs, often in exchange for nothing more than a can of congee or a pack of instant noodles worth a yuan.

But here, the situation was a bit different.

Men wouldn’t lay hands on women; women still retained their dignity and pride from before the end times.

Perhaps what that man with the terrifying arm said is true.

The rulers here have strict requirements for Order, and it is said that anyone forcing a relationship without the woman’s consent would face severe punishment—having their spine broken and hung at the gate.

No matter what others think, Chen Feng has his own insistence and stubbornness regarding such matters.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

Here, he is the Divine Spirit, and everyone must strictly adhere to his rules. The first rule is that men must control their trembling limbs; he does not want the place he shelters to become polluted.

The flame of Order has been ignited, and three thousand people is just the beginning. Slowly, the power will expand, reaching tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people. By then, if there is no Order as the backbone, the power could collapse in an instant after facing some drastic changes.

The living quarters consist of men’s and women’s dormitories, with most people assigned according to gender, except for some couples who reside in the same room.

The entire campus still seems quite spacious, with certain areas strictly prohibited. Chen Feng’s residence is also a forbidden zone for ordinary people, but the basketball court, the track, and such places are freely accessible.

Soon, some specialists came over to register their names. Initially, they would receive some provisions, but if they want to fill their stomachs, they must work.

Recon Group, Combat Group, Medical Group, Logistics Group, Research Group, Scavenging Group.

Six divisions, where everyone can find a suitable job.

It has to be mentioned that the Medical Group enjoys the best treatment, particularly survivors who were doctors before the apocalypse. Weekly, they might even receive a can of fish or a bag of beef jerky.

The old era has become a thing of the past.

Money is now nothing more than useless paper to the masses; in this environment, nothing is more tempting than food!

The Academy has too many tasks!

The surrounding walls need to be heightened, food needs to be classified, and large areas of ground have been dug up; it is said that some mutated crops will be planted for consumption.

Even the least could involve cleaning out the garbage, burying some waste or covering it in soil as fertilization, all of which could yield considerable rewards.

As long as they work hard, they can fill their stomachs without worrying about being bullied, and such days already make them quite satisfied.

Especially for families of three who all survived, this place is paradise, their dreamed-of home.

A place filled with future, hope, and dawn. Although they’ve just arrived, each of them has a sense of belonging in their hearts.

They no longer want to hide like rats in the dark, sunless sewers; they are human, they love the sunshine, and they cherish this dignified, free life.

Their eyes are somewhat red, after over a month of mental torment, they finally found their ideal home.

Order City.

This Academy is like a seed, under the testimony of time, will eventually grow into a towering tree.

Tomorrow will be better.

Everyone thinks so!
