Abyss Summoner-Chapter 245 - 240: Making a Plan

Dawn is just breaking.

Xu Hongzhuang and Chen Feng, along with their group, are seated in a house. The table is set with exquisite food, including some cooked beef and mutton, aside from bread.

In the apocalypse, the infection rate among beasts is several times that of other species. Unmutated cattle and sheep are exceedingly rare, even in the east of the bridge. Beef and mutton are scarce delicacies, accessible only to military personnel ranked major or above.

The crisis outside has not yet resolved, leaving Xu Hongzhuang unable to sleep peacefully. However, thankfully, Chen Feng brought royal jelly, and after drinking half a bottle, Xu Hongzhuang's mental state recovered by seventy to eighty percent, enough for her to endure for a while.

Dark Elf, Flora sits nearby, the former gazes curiously at Xu Hongzhuang, while the latter, having eaten some food, starts to rest with closed eyes.

The Master of Fist is rarely disturbed by external forces. The recent battle drained some of her energy, and now she is relying on meditation to regain her strength.

Xu Hongzhuang remembers the Dark Elf; it was her arrows before the nursing home that nearly took her life. After a period of practice, the opponent seems even more formidable.

Chen Feng is not alone.

Just the Dark Elf alone is enough to alleviate the tremendous pressure in the industrial zone, let alone the cat-ear girl sitting beside Xu Hongzhuang, who witnessed her performance on the battlefield. Despite her slender figure, she fights like a war machine, incredibly fearsome.

"What's your plan?"

Chen Feng knows the zombies outside won't easily give up, so he needs to know Xu Hongzhuang's upcoming strategy.

Facing Chen Feng, Xu Hongzhuang feels somewhat uneasy.

The recent illusion had an enormous impact on her, and the immersive feeling made her blush just thinking about it.

No one knows what happened in the illusion, and if Chen Feng doesn't mention it, Xu Hongzhuang would choose to bury it deep in her heart forever, never speaking of it.

The bigger picture matters.

Xu Hongzhuang takes a deep breath, forcing herself not to dwell on those painful memories, she exhales deeply as if encouraging herself, and says, "There are surely leaders among so many zombies. I want to execute a decapitation operation, kill it, and the zombies will naturally collapse."

"Tap, tap..."

Chen Feng's finger taps on the chair, making a light sound, seemingly a signature action of his, a habit he has during thinking.

A brief silence.

Clearly, Chen Feng is pondering something.

After a while, Chen Feng speaks lightly, "Take some High-Explosive Grenades. In terms of personnel allocation, thirty to fifty people are best."

Decapitation operation.

This requires precise coordination.

If any part goes wrong, Chen Feng's group could be swallowed by the zombie tide.

Chen Feng is not afraid of death.

But he won't recklessly throw away his life like a fool; he wouldn't choose to engage in a battle without a plan.

Xu Hongzhuang nods and says, "Leave it all to me."

As the commander here, Xu Hongzhuang controls the personnel orders, and she knows how dangerous this mission is. Going out as a group, the chances of survival are slim, but there's no choice.

Having experienced countless battles, Xu Hongzhuang has long transformed from a girl who cried at the loss of comrades into a qualified leader.

War demands sacrifices.

Every commander must be prepared for this.

"Go recruit," Chen Feng leans back in his chair, issuing the order to Xu Hongzhuang, and instead of refusing, she nods and turns around to start recruiting warriors.

If others saw this scene, they'd be speechless with amazement. The Martial God they worship and admire is so obedient before Chen Feng.

This might even cause some to lose their faith.

And this is the main reason Chen Feng supports Xu Hongzhuang; those irrelevant people don't need to know his identity. He stands behind, controlling everything, and that's enough.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

.........

"That Chen Feng dares to wade through these murky waters, and not only defeated the zombie herd but also successfully entered the camp?"

Li Chuan stands on the ground, looking through the window at the hazy horizon outside, his eyes sharp, "According to Ninth Master's letter, this person is not easy to deal with, and has experts accompanying him."

This person is renowned as one who devours gold and iron, one of Hong Jiuling's trusted aides, Li Chuan.

At this moment, he stands on the ground, his complexion similar to a normal person, but as he walks, he makes a "knocking" sound.

It's like the sound of two iron pillars colliding with the ground.

The ability he awakened relates to iron and steel; he can absorb all metal to strengthen his defense. In the camp, he's even dubbed "Unbreakable Vajra."

Even if he stood still, letting an Earth Dragon bite, it wouldn't harm him in the slightest; he's virtually invulnerable.

"No need to worry, Captain, with your skills, dealing with such people should be child's play," said a small-statured young man with a sharp mouth and monkey-like features beside Li Chuan.

Face reveals one's heart.

This person is evidently treacherous and sly, not possessing much ability but is eloquent, skilled at saying what suits the situation, undertaking the role of a Military Advisor under Li Chuan.

"What do you know? Ninth Master's letter is crystal clear, instructing me to be cautious above all. I have confidence in my strength, but Chen Feng is no small fry. If I underestimate him, mistakes could happen."

Li Chuan squints, seemingly contemplating something in his mind. Silver Peak is a level that signifies a blend of talent and wisdom as the primary reasons for attaining this realm. How could one like him become complacent from mere flattery?

"Yes, indeed, cautious planning is crucial," the Military Advisor, noticing Li Chuan's displeasure, promptly changes his tone.

"However, I cannot ignore Ninth Master's orders. I brought such skilled individuals, made thorough preparations, and am determined to seize this merit. What will Chen Feng do even if he's unhappy? Everyone competes fairly, all for... the bridge east."

Speaking the last word, Li Chuan emphasized it, turning an ordinary sentence into something ominous and eerie.

"Deploy people to closely monitor Xu Hongzhuang's movements. As soon as they act, report back to me immediately. Besides, bring all eight Corpse Demons, ready the weapons, how could Xu Hongzhuang rival me for the credit?" Li Chuan clasped his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his face.
