Chapter 876: A Twist of Fate
Over the course of a full day, Chen Futu inscribed a map of the Chaotic Realm Mountain in the system backend and divided the Chaotic Realm Mountain into regions.
Of the four regions—east, west, south, and north—the north region is the most dangerous, as it is home to many strange beasts. We must remind everyone to be careful there, and unless you are traveling in a group, try to avoid going there.
When Chen Futu returned to the mountaintop that evening, he saw the Red Deer Squad returning with a lot of engineering materials and energy, but some of them were injured.
Chen Futu asked suspiciously, "Have we run into trouble?"
Honglu explained, "We encountered an ugly woman who was extremely cunning. We had just finished clearing an area when she lured a large number of mutated creatures and tricked us. Fortunately, we reacted quickly, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses today."
"The opponent is very strong?"
"She was only at the second tier. She used the mutants to besiege us and then took the opportunity to plunder the crystal cores."
"interesting."
Chen Futu couldn't help but sigh, these people really would stop at nothing to survive.
Therefore, Honglu and her ilk are like flowers in a greenhouse, still lacking the true ruthlessness and cruelty to possess.
"So, the other side is a lone wolf?"
Lu Lu'er became interested. She was a lone wolf, and when she encountered someone similar, she wanted to go there herself and capture them. After all, the Red Deer Squad was Chen Ge's subordinates, and therefore her subordinates.
Honglu smiled and said, "She does have some tricks up her sleeve. She can actually use the power of blood energy to create Buddha flowers to attack us. She can even use the Buddha flowers to control some low-level mutants. Although there aren't many of them, overall, no one in the second tier is her match. I'm afraid there are very few people in the third tier who can beat her. Otherwise, we would have taken her down long ago."
"Hehehe, interesting, interesting. I'll go and meet her tomorrow!"
Lu Luer made her decision, and Chen Futu remained noncommittal. If she was truly a talented person, he would see if he could persuade her to join.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Lulu set off with Red Deer early in the morning.
Surprisingly, they didn't see the strange woman.
Little did they know that Ge Fei had been injured and her resources had been taken away.
The people living in this area are all ruthless. She was alone and vulnerable, and they took away all her crystal cores and supplies. Fortunately, she disguised her appearance, otherwise she would not have escaped her fate either.
"Damn it, you still want to eat all the food yourself? You ugly thing, remember this: every time you come back, you'd better come after me for a cut, or I'll kill you."
The man who spoke had a cold smile, like a savage beast. His name was Guo Kai, a fourth-tier expert. He had gathered quite a few people under his command and was considered a local tyrant. He also ran a black market business in private, but his income sources were not limited to the black market. He also exploited lone wolves like Ge Fei who had no connections.
After the group left, Ge Fei struggled to her feet in the cold alley, blood smeared at the corner of her mouth. Her already hideous face was now even more ferocious. "I can't die, I have to live..."
She returned to the dark little house by sheer willpower, eating moldy food. She couldn't even open her spatial ring, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up in such a state.
She leaned against the wall for a long time to recover, then called up the regional channel, but still didn't see a reply, which made her even more disappointed.
"Perhaps, leaving the chaotic East City and seeking survival in a smaller city would offer a better chance."
With this in mind, Consort Ge, despite her injuries, left the city once again.
She no longer has the strength to hunt down the mutants, so she can only scheme again and plunder other people's resources.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp; this is the way of survival in nature.
"No one's here? How boring."
Luluer remained high above the ruins, surveying her surroundings in hopes of encountering an opponent.
Honglu laughed and said, "They've obtained quite a few resources, so they can't possibly come over every day."
"I'm so bored. You guys clean up. Call me when you're done. I'm going to wander around."
Lulu greeted them and wandered off elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Chen Futu was checking his friends' information in the regional channel. He knew that most of the people who sent him private messages were inquiring about news and suspected that he had a connection with the creator of the regional channel, since his code name was left in the missing person notice.
At a certain moment, Chen Futu's disappointment suddenly faltered, and his breathing became rapid.
Yes, he finally saw a message that mentioned Xiaobai and asked if Xiaobai was a girl from the mortal realm. The sender's name was Ge Fei.
Chen Futu suddenly stood up, his face flushed with excitement, "We've finally found one!"
Without wasting any time, Chen Futu immediately added her as a friend and replied to her message, but unfortunately he received no response. It was clear that Ge Fei was not currently checking the regional channel.
"Where are you? Answer my message!"
The more anxious Chen Futu became, the less effective he was. He deeply regretted that the message had been sent yesterday; he should have gone to bed later.
The wait was quite long when Lu Lu'er suddenly sent a message: "Old Chen, I caught that woman. She was trying to play the victim and scheme against me. It's hilarious."
"Is it?"
“She’s really good. If I hadn’t been alert, I would have almost fallen for her trick. I just beat her half to death. What do you suggest we do next? Should we just kill her?” Lu Lu’er asked.
Now is a time when we need talent, and if we can win over such a talented person, it will definitely be beneficial for our future development.
After thinking it over, Chen Futu said, "Give it a try and see if you can subdue him. If not, don't waste your time."
"Alright, she's in my hands now. Let's see how I deal with her."
Lu Luer hung up the phone.
Chen Futu was still anxiously waiting for Consort Ge's message when suddenly Consort Ge sent a message: "Are you His Majesty?"
"It's me! Where are you!"
Chen Futu hurriedly asked, and Consort Ge remained silent for a while before replying, "Your Majesty, I am useless. I have been captured and I may die. I will no longer be able to serve you."
"What exactly happened? Share your coordinates with me, I'm coming right now!"
Chen Futu was horrified, and then a surge of rage welled up within him.
A few seconds later, Ge Fei shared a detailed coordinate. Chen Futu glanced at it and was surprised to find that it was only a dozen kilometers away.
"System, activate spatial teleportation!"
"System received. 15 kilometers from target. Activating spatial teleportation will cost 150,000 points. Confirm?"
"confirm!"
At this point, we can't worry about whether the system is compromised or not; saving people is the priority.
Before teleporting, Chen Futu summoned the Three Corpses in the room, and then the four of them entered the teleportation portal together.
On the other side, in an abandoned house, Ge Fei was tied to a pillar with her hands and feet. Lu Lu'er was circling around her with a leather whip that appeared out of nowhere. "You little brat, you've got some backbone. I'm reminding you one last time, join us or die."
Consort Ge remained silent, tears welling in her eyes. She knew the Emperor was coming, she wouldn't die, and these bastards would pay the price for bullying her!
