Chapter 7, Ruins

I see that old fox is doing it on purpose, tsk, this is clearly just to make us cannon fodder! I don't know what those guys at Blackstone Group are really thinking! In the past, for a task like this, I wouldn't even glance at it! Damn it... it's really frustrating

In response to the "Queen"'s complaints, Feren merely shrugged his shoulders while extending his hand to gently stroke the black cat curled up in his arms. He was well aware that despite the Queen's current appearance of utter disdain, she was more enthusiastic about this mission than anyone else. One only needed to look at the three fully armed heavy battle trucks at the front of the convoy to understand this. Unlike the solitary Feren, the "Queen" was the leader of an organized force, and this time she had mobilized nearly two-thirds of her combat members from her faction, which further demonstrated the importance she placed on this mission.

Looking at the somewhat fierce face of the "Queen" in the image, Feren smiled slightly and inquired. Upon hearing Feren's response, the "Queen" spat angrily before continuing to speak

It seems that this is indeed a troublesome task

Sitting in the off-road vehicle and gazing at the city before him, Ferren couldn't help but furrow his brow. This city had been devastated by the "Great Cataclysm," destroyed by an earthquake, and subsequently ravaged by a flood, to the point that it could almost be described as a city of death. However, for some reason, as he looked at this wasteland, Ferren felt as if he were gazing upon the body of a slumbering beast. It seemed that with just a slight provocation, this terrifying monster would awaken from its slumber and annihilate those who dared to intrude upon its territory.

At that moment, a soft sound reached Feren's ear, and the next instant, the face of the "Queen" appeared before him

Feren once read a phrase in a book: "If there is a profit of 50%, capitalists will take risks; with a profit of 100%, they dare to trample on all laws; with a profit of 300%, they will commit any crime, even at the risk of execution"

That is also true

This was Ferren's only impression of the city as he walked slowly down the street, the howling, cold wind blowing past him. Like a ghost, it passed through his body, disappearing at the other end of the street with a piercing cry. Most of the houses on either side had collapsed and been damaged, with rampant vines and wild grasses visible everywhere. They broke through the constraints of concrete and asphalt, stubbornly pushing aside the massive objects that loomed above them, proudly declaring their existence.

Dozens of trucks and off-road vehicles roared past on the road, forming what could be described as a massive convoy. Especially in this wilderness, Ferren believed he had never seen a larger group than this. Although he did not feel any awe towards the Blackstone Group because of it, the sense of exhilaration brought about by such numbers still made him feel somewhat excited

At the moment when the energy-absorbing creature's claws were about to grasp Feren, he suddenly turned around. It appeared as if he swiftly retreated half a step like a spinning top, narrowly avoiding the creature that lunged at him from behind. Immediately after, Feren's scalpel glinted with a cold light as it sliced across the creature's neck. Subsequently, the creature's head flew up, and its headless body fell heavily to the ground, twisting and struggling for a moment before falling silent.

It really frustrates me

However, in this case, completing the task would also be relatively quick, wouldn't it

The death of this energy-absorbing creature also marked the beginning of the battle

Upon thinking of this, Ferren shook his head and then revealed a faint bitter smile. He gently patted the black cat curled up on his knee, and then, as if propelled by a spring, Ferren suddenly leaped from the seat of the off-road vehicle. He then performed a somersault, breaking away from the convoy, and his dark figure vanished like a ghost within the shadows of the speeding convoy, disappearing in the blink of an eye

Life will never cease to exist; it will only change

In the capacity of a hunter

This is a ruin, a grave

The desolate scenery flashed before my eyes; as I looked around, all I could see was the boundless desolation of the Gobi Desert. In the distance, sporadic gunfire could be heard. However, no one had the inclination to pay attention to what was happening over there. Perhaps it was a sweep operation, or perhaps a black-on-black shootout, but for the people present, it was all utterly meaningless

Feren could sense the frenzied, bloody, and almost beast-like aggressive gazes projected from the surrounding ruins If he were a scavenger, he should conceal himself as much as possible to avoid drawing too much attention However, unfortunately, this time Feren was not here to scavenge, but to kill

What happened, Your Majesty?

ーー ! ! ''

Accompanied by Fei Lun's words, a series of sharp surgical knives appeared out of thin air between his fingers, resembling the claws of a fierce beast, gleaming with an inorganic cold light

Hearing the invitation from the "Queen," Feren slightly shook his head. The "Queen" had seduced him no less than eight hundred times, ever since their first meeting in his memory; it had become a regular occurrence. However, Feren remained respectfully indifferent to this. Firstly, he had no interest in the "Queen's" face, and secondly, he had no intention of becoming a plaything for any woman. Of course, in this apocalyptic world, strength is paramount. If the "Queen" were not fully aware that Feren was not someone to be trifled with, she would have likely used force to take him back and imprison him long ago.

However, Ferren's reaction is faster than that

Then, let us begin the surgery

ruins

I appreciate the kind intentions, but I have another task and fear I may be unable to assist.

But you still accepted the task, did you not

The "Queen," having failed to tease again, muttered a bored complaint and then fell silent. This was not because she had given up on further harassing Fei Lun, but rather because their target was now within reach

However, Ferren was well aware that the "Queen" was not contacting him to express complaints

Although surrounded by dozens of energy-absorbing monsters, Feren still appeared remarkably calm. While the authority levels of these energy-absorbing monsters were comparable to his own in terms of strength, this did not imply that their combat capabilities were on the same level. With this thought in mind, Feren reached out to lower the brim of his hat, and then he smiled slightly

You are really not being good, not understanding at all how to make your sister happy

Dozens of dark figures swiftly emerged from the ruins of the city, completely surrounding Feren from all directions. Pairs of crimson eyes emitted a chilling glow in the darkness, and their enormous, terrifying bodies moved slowly among the debris, the scraping sounds from the ground resonating like the piercing footsteps of death

Truly interesting

"It is said that, but my sister still lacks a sense of security, what do you think, 'Doctor'? Would you like to lend my sister a hand? As a reward, you can do whatever you want with my sister"

Roar

At the moment Feren turned the corner of the street, an energy-draining creature suddenly leaped out from the ruins of a two-story building nearby. It spread its arms, and the translucent membrane made it glide through the air like a bat, swooping down towards Feren. Its sharp claws tore through the air, accompanied by a chilling sound of rushing wind, as it reached for its prey before it.

The city of death, which had been completely abandoned after the great catastrophe, has finally welcomed new guests

No one was surprised by Ferren's actions, as almost simultaneously, several shadows darted out from the convoy and swiftly rushed towards the ruins before them

Drip

Feren was quite certain that he was not a capitalist, yet sitting in the speeding off-road vehicle, he felt that he was not much different from the capitalist who voluntarily placed his head in the noose
