Chapter 282 - 261: Deal With Lu Feng Personally?

Chapter 282: Chapter 261: Deal With Lu Feng Personally?

It was the Beastman Race and the Cannibal Race.

Lu Feng watched the scene in the large cauldron through his game view, and his killing intent intensified.

The cauldron was filled with the corpses of survivors.

Seeing this, Lu Feng felt his stomach churn. He wanted to vomit, and he couldn’t suppress his rage.

Anyone would be enraged seeing their own kind treated as food.

And anyone who wasn’t enraged by such a scene deserved to be nothing more than food themselves.

These people showing up in the East Suburb clearly had a purpose. No one would believe it if they weren’t targeting the East Suburb Fortress.

Then, Lu Feng’s expression grew even more solemn.

In a part of the small town, he saw rows of howitzers and some sort of high-powered weapon resembling an anti-aircraft gun.

According to the background information, the Beastman Race was created by an accident during an experiment at a secret military base, and they had inherited that base’s weapons.

In terms of weaponry alone, both the Beastman Race and the City East Alliance had inherited the arsenal of a military region.

However, the military region the City East Alliance came from was larger. The secret military base of the Beastman Race conducted illegal human experiments, so its scale was certainly smaller, and its arsenal couldn’t compare to the City East Alliance’s.

But in a smaller-scale conflict, the Beastman Race’s weaponry could definitely crush any base or faction other than the City East Alliance.

The last time he encountered that Beastman, it had escaped only because it suddenly attacked with a howitzer.

Without hesitation, Lu Feng entered the game with a thought.

Everything was normal inside the East Suburb Fortress, which meant they hadn’t detected anything unusual about the Beastman Race.

He immediately went to find Lin Jiao.

The moment Lin Jiao saw him, she said, "Boss, you’re finally here! The City East Alliance sent a message to all the outlying Survivor Bases in Celestial Sea City. A group called the Beastman Race and another called the Cannibal Race have appeared."

"The City East Alliance has already fought the Beastman Race a few times, and it sounds like the situation was brutal. They’re also asking all survivors to report any sightings of the Cannibal Race immediately."

Lu Feng frowned. "The Beastman Race is already in the East Suburb. Their intentions toward us are likely hostile."

"What?" Lin Jiao was stunned.

Lu Feng’s frown deepened. "Hasn’t anyone in the East Suburb noticed anything unusual?"

This was a very serious problem.

It was either because the Beastman Race’s infiltration skills were too strong, or the people of Qingfeng Base had grown complacent. After all, the enemy was practically at their gates, yet they remained undiscovered.

If he hadn’t happened to be surveying through his game view today, a sneak attack from these guys would have absolutely triggered a catastrophe for Qingfeng Base.

Lin Jiao also frowned. "Could it be the town to the west? Mutant Beasts appeared there, and many survivors were attacked. The others are too afraid to go near the area. After we received the report, we sent people to investigate. As soon as we confirm the Mutant Beasts’ location, we’ll have Wang Cheng lead a team to clear them out."

Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately understood.

After their mutation, the Beastman Race no longer had reproductive isolation from Mutant Beasts. They could have offspring with them, and the Mutant Beasts would treat them as kin.

This also gave the Beastman Race the ability to command Mutant Beasts.

Therefore, wherever Mutant Beasts appeared, survivors would flee immediately. If the Beastman Race’s troops showed up then, no one would discover them.

If any base treated this as a simple case of stray Mutant Beasts and random attacks, then when the Beastman Race launched a sudden assault, they would have no defenses whatsoever. With their weaponry being far inferior to the Beastman Race’s forces, their only fate would be annihilation.

"Gather all combat personnel immediately," Lu Feng ordered Lin Jiao at once.

"Yes, Boss." Lin Jiao hurried to carry out the order.

She knew her boss was never wrong. If he said so, then the Beastman Race had definitely entered the East Suburb.

Before long, all of Qingfeng Base’s combat personnel had assembled, bringing with them most of the howitzers, RPGs, anti-aircraft guns, and other such weapons.

Even so, they were still far outmatched in this class of weaponry compared to that Beastman Race unit.

Therefore, before the battle began, they had to find a way to disable the enemy’s high-powered weapons first. Otherwise, Qingfeng Base would suffer heavy losses.

He didn’t want to waste the combat personnel Qingfeng Base had worked so hard to train by having them get shredded by those weapons.

Soon, Lu Feng led his people out of the East Suburb Fortress, proceeding along a specific route.

The route was, of course, chosen with a purpose. Knowing the location of the Beastman Race’s troops, the best combat strategy was an ambush—to catch them completely off guard.

...

In a small town west of the East Suburb Fortress.

A group of vicious, demonic-looking figures were madly enjoying the "delicacies" in the cauldron.

These were the troops of the Beastman Race and the Cannibal Race.

After their fall from grace, the Cannibal Race had started following the Beastman Race in consuming their own kind. Their faces were twisted into perverted expressions, making them look somewhat similar to the ugly, ferocious faces of the Beastman Race.

Perhaps the old saying "he who touches pitch shall be defiled" could be loosely applied here.

Suddenly, a squad of soldiers dragged several people before a burly man with a sharp, hooked nose.

The man’s nose was truly hooked and sharp, curved and covered in a keratinous layer.

One of the soldiers reported, "Lord Fei Ci, we’ve captured a few people. They’re scouts from the East Suburb Fortress, here to investigate the Mutant Beast anomaly."

When the men from the East Suburb Fortress saw what was in the cauldron, and the human bones littering the ground, their faces turned utterly grim, and they began to struggle frantically.

They knew these people had to be the Beastman Race and Cannibal Race that had been causing such a stir recently.

Seeing this, Fei Ci flicked his hand, and a long, sharp spike protruded from his palm.

He walked up to the men from the East Suburb Fortress, and the spike instantly slashed across their necks.

The men from the East Suburb Fortress stared with wide, horrified eyes. Blood gushed from their necks, choking their vocal cords and preventing them from making a sound.

"Just in time for another course. After we eat, we move out immediately. We’ll raid the East Suburb Fortress and give them no time to react. It’s time for the City East Alliance to pay the first price," Fei Ci ordered coldly.

The City East Alliance was targeting them at every turn, hunting them everywhere. The two sides had already clashed more than once.

Although they hadn’t lost any of those encounters, the City East Alliance had nonetheless enraged them.

Besides, they held one major advantage over the City East Alliance: the people of the Alliance needed food, whereas for them, food was everywhere. As long as they started a war, the ground would be littered with it.

So, they had set their sights on the East Suburb Fortress. It was a source of food for the City East Alliance. By destroying the East Suburb Fortress and its food supplies, they would teach the City East Alliance its greatest lesson.

Fei Ci felt that having him personally lead a team to the East Suburb Fortress was making a mountain out of a molehill.

With the weapons he’d brought, he could have sent any random person to launch a surprise barrage, wipe out most of the enemy’s forces, and then finish them off with a single wave.

’Still,’ he thought, ’since I’m here, I might as well personally devour the Guard Officer of this East Suburb Fortress.’

In fact, he had already decided: after he ate the East Suburb Fortress’s Guard Officer, leaving only the head, he would send the skeleton to the City East Alliance as a warning.
