Abyss Summoner-Chapter 222 - 217: Iron Demon Army

Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.

Just like now, Chen Feng never expected that during a casual stroll, he would stumble upon such a remarkable pair of sisters.

At this moment, the two young girls had already fainted, lying on the ground barely breathing, with mud covering their bodies, coupled with the smell of festering sores, making it unbearable.

However, Chen Feng did not show a hint of disgust. Instead, his eyes were filled with intense surprise, as if he had discovered something precious.

Li Siyu and Li Siqi.

This is a legendary pair of sisters.

There are many ways to become an Awakened Professional. Besides those who awaken at the beginning of the apocalypse, there is an extremely rare type known as latent awakening.

Just like how a cold requires time to heal.

Such individuals, due to various reasons, require some preparation time to successfully awaken. This often leads to misunderstandings, as their bodies struggle to endure the transformation during the awakening, causing abnormal changes.

For instance, some Fire Elementalists experience an abnormal increase in body temperature during latent awakening, hovering around forty degrees daily. To others, it may seem like a severe illness with limited time, but it is actually a transformation process.

And now...

The two sisters before him were the same. To others, they seemed incurable, hardly able to hold on. But who would have thought that they were nearing the threshold of transformation?

The memory left to Chen Feng was so strong that he recognized them with just one glance.

Older sister Li Siyu had a large area of festering wounds on her back, especially bleeding uncontrollably from the shoulders. Everyone thought she was beyond saving, but soon a pair of pure white wings would emerge, and she would awaken as a Light Priestess, adept in healing.

And the younger sister Li Siqi, whose legs were fused together, was actually transforming into a mermaid. When her legs fully fused, the psoriasis on her body would turn into scales, enabling her to unleash 150% attack power in water, and her affinity with the Water Element would reach maximum level.

The two sisters.

Two professionals.

And rare professionals at that.

Light Priestess and Mermaid.

Encountering these two people by chance felt like finding a ten-carat diamond ring while out for a walk, giving a surreal feeling.

When Chen Feng learned their names in his past life, Li Siyu had already become a battle group leader. Because Qiaodong had never offered her assistance, even after awakening, she didn't ally with any faction but chose to establish her own battle group.

Light Priestess.

When her wings spread out, they were dazzlingly beautiful, and flying mid-air, she resembled a legendary angel.

Because of this, her battle group expanded rapidly, attracting many Silver-tier experts. Besides personal strength, her charm played a significant role.

But it must be said that Li Siyu's sister, due to her body's weakness before awakening, suffered severe brain damage after successfully awakening. She became mentally impaired, unable to take care of herself, possessing beauty and power she couldn't wield, a painfully poignant situation.

But now...

If Chen Feng could help her condition, perhaps he could rectify this regret...

What is the most important thing in an apocalypse?

It is undoubtedly talent!

Relying on the memories in his mind, Chen Feng had encountered many famous figures of the future, yet he only truly recruited one, which was Xu Zhe.

Even Xu Hongzhuang was just a potential stock. Without being saved by Chen Feng, her fate would have ended in the Earth Dragon's mouth, leaving no chance to become Qiaodong's female Martial God.

As for the others, they were killed with none left alive.

Chen Feng looked down at the two young girls beneath him. This is the benefit of rebirth. Who would have guessed that these two "stones" lying on the ground were one of Qiaodong New City's few treasures.

"Interesting." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Chen Feng became intrigued, feeling as if he had found a treasure.

Moreover, as they have a blood relationship, it's even easier to control them. The weaker they are, the easier to control.

Take them back, with a little polishing, they would become two competent subordinates.

Chen Feng waved his hand, and several burly warriors stepped out from the crowd. Although in terms of strength, the entire Qiaodong was at his mercy, if a superior handles everything personally, their authority is diminished.

For strong individuals, maintaining a superior status is essential at all times. Consequently, these people are prepared for unforeseen emergencies, specifically to handle urgent matters.

"Take these two back, clean them up, and prepare some food." Chen Feng looked at them and spoke plainly.

"Yes!" The few people immediately responded as if they were invigorated, their voices resounding.

Chen Feng looked at the fervent reverence in their eyes, understanding roughly what kind of reputation he held in their hearts.

Although Order is managed jointly by Xu Zhe and Wei Xun, Chen Feng's renowned name had seeped into everyone's bones; they knew that their current position was all due to a certain someone.

"Alright, let's move now."

"We will take care of this immediately." The members did not dare to waste any time and quickly supported the two sisters lying on the ground, heading back to the temporary accommodation.

Chen Feng glanced at them and then shifted his attention elsewhere.

When he returned, he would help the sisters with their physical condition, but for now... he had more pressing matters to attend to.

Chen Feng headed north, following the street until he reached a sprawling square.

In the square, banners fluttered, with a gigantic "Xu" character written on them, exuding a murderous aura, soaring towards the sky.

On the edges of the square, every five steps stood warriors dressed in black combat attire, holding guns upright like nails on the ground, motionless. Two lines of such warriors resembled two dragons, exuding a chilling, menacing presence that struck terror even into the bravest of hearts.

These were akin to war kings, placed within the army; they were top-tier experts exemplary among thousands during military exercises, skilled in shooting and combat, multi-talented. With a handgun or grenades, they could utilize tactical methods to kill several mutant creatures.

Additionally, Chen Feng sensed a faint pressure here; around the square were numerous buildings, concealing an unknown number of professionals inside, among whom he detected three or four Silver Tier power levels.

Impenetrable fortifications.

This type of military camp, even a Silver Peak expert would not have a good outcome if they dared venture in recklessly, despite the machine guns and cannons set up alongside, the combined force of the professionals and weapons would create a blood-soaked millstone, leaving only death for any unauthorized intruder.

Is that the magic crystal cannon created by Tian Xuefeng?!

From a distance, Chen Feng gazed towards the side of the camp, seeing several steel cannons placed there, the iron-forged appearance exuding a murderous aura, and dots of shifting phantoms visible above them.

Souls!

Those phantoms turned out to be the souls of monsters!

Tian Xuefeng was reputed as the martial god east of the bridge, his mastery over firearms reaching an ethereal level, seamlessly blending with his body, and aside from that, he possessed a unique ability to extract monster souls and merge them into weapons.

In battle, originally powerful hot weaponry augmented with the power of the soul could shatter even the defenses of the Earth-Boring Giant Worm, causing significant damage.

However, such steel cannons could only fire three shots, beyond which the power of the soul would be depleted, offering no additional battle strength.

Five steel cannons stood in the square; overhead, some formidable residual souls painfully roared, seemingly unwilling to accept their end.

More terrifying was that these souls were all Silver Tier!

"The power east of the bridge is indeed aggressive. Even if it's at a disadvantage, the main battle faction has such prestige. Five magic crystal cannons, capable of firing fifteen rounds imbued with soul power. Even the Earth-Boring Giant Worm facing such attacks would meet its doom,"

Chen Feng calmly thought to himself.

Iron Demon Army.

This was the ace force of the main battle faction, also the only entity east of the bridge that could rival the Corpse Demon Legion.

And the leader of this force was none other than Chen Feng's former female slave, Captain Xu, Xu Hongzhuang!

As Chen Feng scrutinized the surroundings, five warriors approached him, led by someone with protruding temples, surging vitality, clearly a professional.

Stopping five meters away, the leader loudly rebuked, "What place do you think this is? How dare you recklessly intrude! Do you know this is forbidden?!"

Chen Feng glanced at the person, calmly stating, "I come from Order, and I am an old acquaintance of your Major Xu. I have come today to pay a visit."

"Order?" The professional frowned, but at this moment, a warrior beside him recognized Chen Feng. On the previous day, Feng Zhiyong had introduced Chen Feng's identity to everyone, and this warrior happened to be at Xu Hongzhuang's side.

The warrior stiffened, whispered a few words to the professional, who listened, nodded, maintaining composure yet respectful: "Ah, it's Lieutenant Chen, I've heard your name."

As the ace force of the main battle faction, the Iron Demon Army always kept updated information. Upon being reminded, the professional instantly recognized Chen Feng's identity.

Lieutenant.

He was also the famed ruler of Order in the Economic Development Zone.

"Alright, since there isn't an issue with my identity, can you let me in?" Chen Feng casually asked, glancing at the opponent.

"You are Major Xu's friend; of course, you may enter. However, Major Xu went to the training room early on and instructed us against disturbances, so apologies..." the professional reported truthfully.

The professional wasn't lying; after all, he had no reason to deceive. Chen Feng nodded, a subtle playful smile emerging in his thoughts: "Training room? No disturbances allowed, so... she is alone then?"
