Abyss Summoner-Chapter 63 - 61: Lawful Evil

Chen Feng’s words were like a sharp blade, piercing through everyone’s hearts. Looking at the corpses on the ground, some people retched and vomited, but even so, not a single person protested.

Obey, or die.

Without unnecessary explanation, Chen Feng used facts to illustrate the cost of breaking the rules.

Chen Feng would not keep a group of useless people; those who wanted to live under his protection had to show some sincerity.

The apocalypse was brutal. These people had already lost at the starting line. In their current state, they would only become fodder for monsters on the streets.

So, they had to learn how to become true Warriors.

From ancient times to the present, rulers needed a foundation of bones to ascend to power.

Ding Liang lay on the ground, eyes wide open, dying with regret. Before the apocalypse, he was a venerable board member, completely controlling the lifeblood of the school.

In those days, he was an undisputed success; leveraging his resources and abilities, he didn’t need to coerce anyone. Many female students would willingly climb into his bed, attracted by his connections and influence.

And now.

This once-prosperous figure lay on the ground, his chest easily pierced, dying so abruptly.

This is the apocalypse.

Without strength, life is as fragile as a cake, perishing with just a gentle touch, without even a chance to resist.

What, you were a famous star, with tens of thousands attending your concerts, and female fans who would cry to be with you? Well, are you a professional? No! If not, then stop talking and stand guard outside, or you won’t even get a moldy bun.

You are a real estate tycoon with an annual income of over a billion, and you want me to protect you, promising a lot of money! Money? In this world, money is just a pile of waste paper. As long as your fist is hard enough, you can have anything you want.

Madness.

This world, stained with blood, has become somewhat mad. Some professionals, after gaining abilities, consider themselves superior, indulging in brutal madness, committing all sorts of atrocities.

And some opposition, like the faction of Judicators, have risen up, detesting all darkness, with the goal of rebuilding from ruins.

Polarization, giving birth to many upheavals.

Insects, monsters, fiends, thugs, judgment, aloofness—everyone and every creature has their alignments, be they evil, good, or neutral.

Compared to some pure lunatics and rigid Judicators, Chen Feng held fast to his own beliefs.

Lawful Evil. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

One strike to cleave the path of life and death.

Chen Feng’s approach was simple: those who threatened his plans and life were all enemies. For such people, there was no need for mercy.

Next, he had to build his power.

Although he had joined the army, and Feng Zhiyong promised him a military rank, Chen Feng still lacked a force of his own and trusted subordinates.

The bunker was a beginning. Chen Feng planned to start from here, gathering nearby survivors, and then forming a completely independent armed force.

Faced with thousands of monsters, even Epic-level strong ones would eventually tire.

A faction is like a placenta, and the individual is like a baby.

An excellent faction continuously replenishes the individual with nutrients and, being stable and prosperous, more easily attracts the allegiance of strong individuals.

Wei Xun would be his agent.

Those in power never handle things personally; maintaining mystery inspires awe, just like a Divine Spirit. Ordinary Believers express their sincerity through Priests; they cannot touch the true Divine Spirit. Mystery represents power, which is why they are so devout, believing the Divine Spirit they worship has formidable strength.

Wei Xun was certainly a mad dog; just now, this mad dog had mercilessly killed two people, shocking everyone present. To them, Wei Xun was powerful.

Meanwhile, with just a few casual words, Chen Feng could make Wei Xun obey, casting Chen Feng’s shadow into everyone’s hearts.

Compared to the blazing sun of day, people feared the enveloping darkness of night more.

Chen Feng, just by standing there, made everyone feel a sense of oppression. Some timid souls didn’t even have the courage to look him in the eye.

"Have the men suitable for foraging step forward."

"Find some appropriate combat weapons, baseball bats, chairs, kitchen knives; all these can serve as defense tools."

"Food is to be uniformly managed; all food is distributed according to headcount. No hoarding, no taking more than allowed. Violators, death!"

Chen Feng issued several commands in succession, and Wei Xun echoed the call. Due to the previous upheaval, everyone had not the slightest resistance. Soon, forty-seven men suitable for foraging stood in line, and additionally, some people, cowed by Chen Feng’s harshness, brought out the food they had hidden.

Selfishness.

These people hid food they couldn’t finish. Now, the food piled up, even forming a small mound.

Chen Feng paid no mind to this scene. Although it was a bad trait, it was also a survival instinct. He turned to face these "Warriors" in front of him.

Their ages varied, but most were university students in their twenties. At this moment, their faces were pale, legs trembling as if heading to the execution ground.

"I don’t care who you were or what your status was before; from now on, you are the Guardians of this camp. You need to search for food outside like Wei Xun. Only through effort will there be rewards. You might fear the monsters outside, so if anyone is unwilling to go, let me know, and I’ll end this pain for you in advance."

Chen Feng didn’t give this group any chance to oppose. They were equally aware of what the end meant in his words.

The decision was made.

Though they were afraid, they could only steel themselves to walk out the door, facing those ferocious monsters.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Feng dispersed the crowd, then called Wei Xun to his side.

Wei Xun looked like he wanted to say something.

Chen Feng glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "If you have something to say, just say it..."

"You still want me to go find food? No, I mean, do we still have to help this bunch of useless people?" Wei Xun was a bit puzzled. He had killed his friends to move on from these people, and now, Chen Feng wanted him to continue helping them, which made him feel uneasy.

Chen Feng raised his eyebrow: "One person’s power is limited, and there are too many dangers around. That’s why I want to unite all the survivors nearby. Only then is there a chance to overcome this disaster."

"These people are under your command. I’m familiar with the top ranks of the army. If you do well, I’ll get you a position in due time."

Temptation.

Hearing these words, Wei Xun’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected his counterpart to have such connections, confirming even more that Chen Feng was not an ordinary person.

"And there’s one more thing..." Chen Feng seemed to remember something.

Wei Xun listened intently, waiting silently.

"I promised you I would protect your life, but in return, you need to give something, to obey and accept unconditionally. I hope this is the last time you question my decisions."

Chen Feng slowly turned his head, his smile vanishing instantly.

At the same time, a fearsome killing intent radiated from him.

"I understand... I understand..." Wei Xun tried to speak, but under Chen Feng’s icy gaze, his tongue twisted, his words stumbling.

Intimidation.

Chen Feng wanted to establish in Wei Xun the understanding that his words were orders. As for others, they just needed to obey.

Wei Xun felt a bead of sweat on his back. He had experienced Chen Feng’s power before; his opponent was like a beast in human skin, and he had no strength to resist. His heart pounded wildly, and he secretly vowed never to speak out of turn again.

"You’ve been staying here a long time, so you must know something about the surroundings. Tell me if there are any places infested with monsters nearby, or places where survivors might be hiding..."

Chen Feng came back to himself and spoke again. Seizing the time before the bug tide erupted, he planned to integrate the area as quickly as possible, a decision beyond doubt. Any attempt to hinder the integration would inevitably be crushed in the most terrifying way!
