Free Web NovelChapter 118: Chapter 118: Fight for Me
Why did these people from the Purification Society have a sketch of him?
And it wasn’t just any ordinary sketch. It was a frontal portrait of him right after he’d finished fighting...
Shen Feng’s expression was grim, his mind racing.
The face in the sketch was identical to his current appearance.
It even had the bloody handprint smeared on his forehead.
This look, all these details, had only been finalized after he took out the second-to-last man in black and stood before Big Beard.
In other words, he hadn’t looked like this before that moment.
And the only one who saw him looking exactly like this was Big Beard!
But Big Beard was now a dead man!
At this thought, Shen Feng quickly tore off his tattered mask and sunglasses, pulling a new set from his backpack and putting them on.
Now, the only one who had seen his previous appearance was the dead Big Beard.
’But how could a dead man transmit his image?’
’Even if he could, how could it be transmitted *before* the event even happened!?’
Judging from the sketch, it looked like it had been drawn years ago. That meant the Purification Society knew he would come here long ago!
’Fucking time travel?’
’But if the Purification Society really had that kind of power, they would have fucking taken over the whole world by now!’
The situation was so bizarre that Shen Feng couldn’t help but curse.
He then turned, walked over to Big Beard’s corpse, and took a lidded glass cup filled with water from his backpack. After a moment’s thought, he drew his dagger, gouged out both of Big Beard’s eyeballs, placed them in the cup, and put it back in his backpack.
He had once read a theory that a person’s eyes could retain a residual visual image from before death.
Like the last photograph taken by a broken camera.
If he wanted to figure out the origin of that sketch, Big Beard’s eyes might be worth studying.
However, in this weather, they would probably rot quickly once removed from the body. He needed to find a low-temperature storage device as soon as possible.
Something like a portable liquid nitrogen container.
"Shen Feng, those men are getting closer. There are seventy or eighty vehicles in total, with... over three hundred men!" Jingwei’s voice sounded again. "They have rocket launchers and grenade launchers!"
Shen Feng frowned and asked:
"How long until they get here?"
The pickup truck’s tires had been shot out, and the cab was riddled with holes. It was completely immobile.
Wuyou Town itself was in the middle of nowhere, with jack shit for dozens of kilometers in any direction.
Trying to escape on foot was obviously impossible.
No matter how fast he ran, he couldn’t outrun a car.
As he asked, Shen Feng darted into a nearby abandoned building, ran up to the rooftop on the fourth floor, and looked into the distance.
In the distant wilderness, a dark mass was rumbling toward them.
Needless to say, these were men from the Purification Society.
Judging by their speed, they would reach Wuyou Town in another ten or twenty minutes.
Big Beard and his group were the first wave. These men must be reinforcements.
Or perhaps they were dispatched the moment Big Beard’s group’s life signs vanished.
"They have heavy weapons. We should probably hide first, or see if any of the men you just killed drove here," Jingwei said, her voice laced with anxiety.
In a desolate, godforsaken ruin of a town like this, it didn’t matter how powerful the two of them were in the digital world.
Even if they hijacked an Eagle Country air force drone for support right now, it would take at least half an hour to arrive, more than enough time for the enemy to storm in and surround Shen Feng.
Over three hundred men with heavy weapons was a completely different ball game from thirty-odd men. Even at his peak, Shen Feng couldn’t take them on head-on.
Jingwei continued, "You currently have two options: enter a mission world immediately, or use Wuyou Town’s terrain to engage in urban guerrilla warfare. The survival rate for the latter is only forty-seven point three percent."
Shen Feng watched the vehicles as they continued to approach, then suddenly let out a dry laugh. "These guys aren’t exactly well-trained soldiers. Just a bunch of rabble... If it’s a numbers game they want to play, we have numbers too... And this is a perfect chance to test out some of my earlier theories."
Jingwei was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise:
"You mean..."
Before she could finish, Shen Feng raised his arm and spoke to his wristband:
"Requesting to claim a stored reward. Nuclear Wasteland mission, Reward Three."
After completing the Nuclear Wasteland mission, he had received several rewards. He had already used most of them, leaving only one.
That was Reward Three: Gain one-time use of a spatial channel. Can summon beings from a mission world to the original Doomsday World. Time limit is dependent on the energy cap!
A line of text immediately flashed across the wristband:
"Request approved. Spatial gate opening. Summoning beings from a mission world to this Doomsday World. Please select the summon target in your consciousness. Final duration will be based on the energy cap."
Shen Feng grinned and immediately conversed with the "True Apocalypse Game" system in his mind:
"Please connect me to Kuafu, patriarch of the Brain Ape Race in the Stone Statue Apocalypse. I will be selecting Brain Ape Cavalry to come to this world. Oh, and don’t forget to decontaminate them..."
This True Apocalypse Game reward, the one that allowed him to summon beings from a mission world, had always been the one that excited him the most. He had been wanting to try it for a long time.
There would definitely be more rewards like this in the future. Trying it now would give him a better understanding of how it worked, so he’d know what to expect.
This was one of the trump cards that had given him the confidence to come to Wuyou Town alone.
Besides, he had just found a small clue in his investigation of the Purification Society. With five or six days left before he had to enter the next mission, he didn’t want to rush into a mission world just yet.
A line of text immediately appeared on his wristband:
"Spatial gate opening. The player may converse with the Brain Ape patriarch, Kuafu. Based on the individual energy value of a Brain Ape Cavalryman, one thousand Brain Ape Cavalry can enter this world for approximately half an hour. Exceeding the time limit will result in physical energy disintegration."
Then, a white point of light appeared in front of Shen Feng. He instantly felt his Consciousness Antennae extend into the point of light, allowing him to communicate with other conscious entities! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

「Stone Statue Apocalypse. The wilderness.」
Nearly two thousand Brain Ape Cavalrymen were mounted on horseback, armed with long guns and small arms, conducting a massive hunt with the support of two heavy armored vehicles.
Trapped within their encirclement was a herd of wild bison that had escaped from a zoo and proliferated.
In an environment with few natural predators, the herd had grown to nearly ten thousand.
The weather had begun to turn cold in recent days, and the Brain Apes were preparing to stockpile food for the winter. Their sights had fallen on this herd. free𝑤ebnovel.com
A one-eyed gorilla wearing a monocle sat atop a fine black steed. With one hand on the reins and the other holding an automatic rifle, he stared at the bison in the distance, his expression grim.
Behind him, a crowd of Brain Ape Cavalry spread out in a fan formation, slowly advancing with the two armored vehicles.
Watching the one-eyed gorilla on the black steed, the Brain Ape Cavalrymen were all somewhat excited.
It was a great honor for them to have their patriarch personally participating in the hunt.
But Kuafu’s mind wasn’t on the hunt at all.
More than a month had passed since Shen Feng left this world.
Since then, there had been no word from him. How could Kuafu not be anxious!
’Even if what Shen Feng said was true, what if he could never return to this world? All his promises would be for nothing!’
"Ready!" Kuafu growled, raising the rifle in his hand.
The Ape Cavalry behind him immediately assumed attack stances.
Just then, a white point of light suddenly appeared before Kuafu, followed by that familiar voice:
"Kuafu, the time has come to fight for me."
Kuafu’s body trembled, and he exclaimed in joyful surprise:
"Mr. Shen... no, Savior!?"
