Abyss Summoner-Chapter 291 - 286: Unprovoked Provocation

"My lord!"

A slender, graceful figure appeared before Chen Feng, looking quite beautiful. She was a member of the reconnaissance team, having just awakened not long ago, with abilities similar to Wang Feng from Qiaodong, also receiving an agility boost.

Today, she had come from the Economic Development Zone early in the morning, looking somewhat panicked.

Chen Feng lowered his head to look at her and said slowly, "What's the matter?"

The slender and tall professional half-kneeled on the ground in utmost respect, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally, revealing most of her chest before Chen Feng.

A smart person.

Perhaps being just a runner was a bit of a waste of talent.

Obviously, she was flaunting her assets.

This was also a reflection of Chen Feng's current status. As the ruler of the Economic Development Zone, he was like a blazing sun, soaring above everyone. Humans liked to chase the sun, and Chen Feng had become the object of such pursuit.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as Chen Feng hooked his finger, countless women would naturally climb into his bed, including even some family members of other professionals.

However.

Desire is like poppy, it can lead people to ruin.

For Chen Feng, what is called pleasure is nothing but a condiment in life; only power is his true staple.

In silence.

The young woman clearly sensed Chen Feng's indifference, quickly putting away her little cleverness, straightening her body, and said solemnly, "My lord, our outpost near the southern point has been destroyed."

"The observation point that was so hard to build has been damaged. Although there were no casualties, sixteen warriors and seven workers were injured."

"In addition, Leader Wei's arm was even broken, and when we found him, he was already unconscious."

Leader Wei?

In the entire Economic Development Zone, there are only six departments, among which, the only one who can be called Leader Wei, other than Wei Xun of the combat team, who else could it be?

Qiaodong was gradually stabilizing, and Chen Feng had just sent Wei Xun back to the Economic Development Zone to take charge of the situation. But who would have thought that shortly after returning, Wei Xun was injured, his arm even broken.

It can be said that Wei Xun was a trusted subordinate promoted by Chen Feng himself, and Chen Feng knew best what skills he possessed.

Without exaggeration, Wei Xun was infinitely close to the Silver Peak. It was no fantasy to devour a few more wild souls and reach the peak.

With his lizard transformation and hundred-beast arm, even facing Flora wouldn't result in an instant kill but would allow for a period of combat.

Yet such a strong figure was knocked out cold, which was simply puzzling.

Moreover,

Even though the Economic Development Zone had already been unified, and any significant forces had been removed, in such a situation, even ordinary insects and beasts wouldn't dare oppose themselves. Who dared damage his outpost?

Do they fear death?

Provocation!

This is simply a provocation!

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent appearing in his gaze. He waved his hand and said, "I know, you may leave now."

The young woman bowed and withdrew.

Looking in the direction of the Economic Development Zone, Chen Feng appeared deep in thought. A master had appeared near the Economic Development Zone, especially just before the insect tide, so he couldn't be unprepared. Moreover, it'd been some time since he left; it was time to return. With his thoughts clear, Chen Feng was ready to head back.

Tiger Patrols the Mountain!

This time, he intended to take action personally and capture the culprit disrupting the Economic Development Zone!

No matter how powerful, a fierce tiger cannot always hide in the jungle. As the king of the forest, he needs to patrol occasionally to deter the petty from causing trouble.

…

In a day's time.

The road connecting Qiaodong to the Economic Development Zone was mostly repaired, speeding up the return journey considerably. By the next evening, Chen Feng was back in the territory of the Economic Development Zone.

However, Chen Feng didn't return to the city but first rushed to the site of the incident.

The outpost.

Like the outposts in Qiaodong that used to resist the corpse tides, Chen Feng had ordered the construction of similar outposts around the Economic Development Zone to guard against the insect tide.

This place was originally a hospital. The already existing building provided great convenience for the warriors, needing just some repaired walls to be used as an outpost.

But now, the ground floor of the hospital, walls largely collapsed, even some load-bearing walls damaged, the foundation evidently severed, making it unusable as an outpost.

"Damn it!"

"This outpost is ruined."

Seeing this, Chen Feng's gaze turned cold. Even though the opponents did not act lethally, it still stirred Chen Feng's murderous intent.

He wouldn't allow anyone to challenge his authority.

Obviously…

These people had touched Chen Feng's bottom line. He wouldn't hesitate to let them know through blood what regret and cost meant.

"Apart from this, didn't you find anything?"

After seeing everything, Chen Feng asked the warrior beside him.

Hearing Chen Feng's question, the warrior responded, "After the incident, we immediately rushed to provide support. During a search nearby, we captured a strange woman. However, no matter how we questioned her, she remained silent, so we couldn't get any valuable information."

"Useless!"

Chen Feng coldly remarked.

"I deserve death for my incompetence!"

The man, well-versed in numerous battles and somewhat of an old hand, broke into a cold sweat and knelt on the ground without daring to show any dissatisfaction.

"Alright, go bring her to me, I'll interrogate her personally." Chen Feng said, frowning with a hint of impatience in his voice.

The warrior acknowledged and quickly went to fetch her. Not long after, a woman dressed in loose clothes, even bearing some bloodstains, was brought over.

The Economic Development Zone, neither too big nor too small, if one truly wished to hide, it wouldn't be that easy to find them. But Chen Feng couldn't figure out why, despite the Search Team patrolling outside daily and notifying survivors of the existence of a camp, these people chose not to seek refuge but instead lived in the wild and opposed him?

Gazing at the woman, Chen Feng appeared contemplative.

The opponent was stained with blood, clearly indicating some interrogation, yet, as the warrior said, she remained tight-lipped, revealing nothing.

Ordinary survivors wouldn't have such courage.

Chen Feng slightly frowned, approaching the captive, looking down upon this woman whose head remained lowered, grabbing her by the hair, lifting her up.

"Huh?"

Upon seeing her face, Chen Feng's pupils constricted, his expression turning somewhat playful.

A woman.

An ugly woman.

Her face was crisscrossed with knife scars, seemingly cut deliberately, transforming what was once a normal appearance into something grim and terrifying, like a fierce ghost.

Suddenly,

A long-lost name surfaced in Chen Feng's mind.

He examined the woman's features and uttered, word by word, "Disfigurement. This is the usual initiation standard for the so-called Lady Misfortune's recruits!"
