Chapter 875: An Old Friend Before My Eyes
After a full two weeks of travel, Chen Futu experienced the so-called upper realm.
The world shrouded in calamity possessed a fragmented beauty, with an ancient aura permeating the ruins, and unknown birds and beasts gnawing on human skeletons.
The visual impact of the scenes along the way gave Chen Futu a new level of understanding in his mind.
As for Chaotic Realm Mountain, it appeared before us just as its name suggests. It was a winding mountain with an altitude of about 1,000 meters. Along the way up the mountain, we saw some stunning scenery. The cliffs and precipices were shrouded in clouds and mist, and in the distance were the large cities where humans gathered, Chaotic Realm East City and Chaotic Realm West City.
According to Honglu, the two cities are the largest gathering places within tens of thousands of miles. There is a high probability that the Tianqing Guard has joined one of them, or there is also a possibility that they will seek a different path in a smaller city.
Three engineering vehicles soon arrived at the mountaintop, where there was an extremely wide view, suitable for building a shelter. There was no trace of the mutated beings, but there were many mutated beasts. However, because there were so many people, the beasts only glanced at them from afar before choosing to back down. What made them smarter than the mutated beings was that they still retained some of their consciousness and knew that this group was not to be trifled with.
"It's truly spectacular."
Qin Xiaoman stood with Chen Futu on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance, and sincerely expressed her feelings.
The evening atmosphere, with its inverted starry sky and cracks spreading outwards across the world, created a uniquely dreamlike and detached feeling, a breathtaking spectacle that seemed to exist only in a dream.
Next, everyone ate something simple and then began building the shelter.
Chen Futu made no attempt to hide anything and released the villa directly.
The girls were shocked, but considering Chen Futu's mysterious methods, they didn't ask any further questions.
As long as Brother Chen can take care of the team, the rest are not a problem.
Red Deer arranged for people to take turns keeping watch at night to ensure that they would not be attacked.
As for the qualifications to stay in the villa, Chen Futu did not invite Honglu to join the villa; she still needed to perform well.
"Brother Chen, I plan to go find resources tomorrow to transport over and build houses and construct the foundation framework. What do you think?"
"can."
Chen Futu now admires this woman somewhat; she seems to have made arrangements for survival in the apocalypse long ago.
In the stillness of the night, the girls gathered around the campfire in small groups, chatting about Chen Futu.
They all thought Brother Chen was mysterious, as if he had an endless supply of resources, and he even had that magical villa that he could carry with him.
"Do you think he might be some important figure from somewhere?"
A girl wielding two swords asked mysteriously.
"Who knows? We don't even know if Brother Chen will take a liking to us. It would be great if we could live in a villa too. I heard the facilities inside are very complete."
"Hehe, if you want to get into the villa, have you considered spreading your legs?"
"Shut up, you little hussy."
"Tch, you dare say you haven't thought about that?"
The girls were making a ruckus.
Upon hearing this, Honglu subconsciously looked towards the villa with its door tightly closed.
To be honest, she wanted to move in, but unfortunately she wasn't qualified to be compared to Lu Lu'er and Qin Xiaoman yet, so she still needed to work hard to complete the tasks assigned by Brother Chen before she had even a sliver of a chance.
The regional channel was in complete chaos.
The system's coverage extends to the eastern and western cities of the chaotic realm, as well as numerous smaller towns.
With the help of the backend, Chen Futu divided everyone into three areas: the Chaotic Realm East Channel, the Chaotic Realm West Channel, and the rest of the channels.
"Holy crap, where did this chat group come from?"
"That's so interesting! This will make it much easier for us to contact each other."
"Mom and Dad, it's me, Ahong. Can you see this? If you're still alive, please add me as a friend."
While marveling at the wonders of the regional channel, people began sending messages to search for their relatives.
Chen Futu smiled bitterly and posted a missing person notice in the group chat, looking for a girl named Xiaobai. If anyone knows her whereabouts, they can contact Lan, and a reward will be given.
In a dark house in the eastern part of the chaotic realm, a woman with her face covered in rotting flesh and blood blisters stared in disbelief at the red notice. "Could it be him? He's come to the upper realm? How is that possible!"
The woman was Ge Fei, and she was in a very bad situation.
That day, Li Zhou was taken into the Refining Heaven Cauldron and ascended to the Upper Realm. Suddenly, the Refining Heaven Cauldron exploded, and everyone was scattered by an indescribable force. Then, she drifted alone to the Eastern City of the Chaotic Realm, living like a rat in a sewer.
She was so beautiful that she was coveted by many, who wanted to capture her and offer her to powerful figures in exchange for resources. She had no choice but to devise a scheme, pretending to be injured and have her face tainted, thus becoming this ugly appearance to avoid attention. Fortunately, as her appearance became ugly, she finally had a chance to breathe.
However, prices in the Chaotic Eastern City were too high. With only a second-tier cultivation level, she could only hunt a limited number of mutated beings. Every time she risked her life to return from the city, she had to pay a considerable amount of commission and exorbitant taxes. It was already a stroke of luck that she survived.
Thinking of this, Ge Fei added "Lan" as a friend and tentatively sent a message: "The Xiaobai you mentioned, is she a girl who ascended from the lower realm?"
At that moment, Chen Futu had just exited the regional channel inside the villa and did not see the messages buried among countless private messages.
Seeing that she received no response, Consort Ge gave a self-deprecating laugh, "It seems I was overthinking it. Even if His Majesty the Human Emperor ascends to heaven, he wouldn't have the power to create something like this..."
Consort Ge left the group chat in disappointment. She needed to rest and prepare to hunt mutated beings outside the city again tomorrow to obtain supplies. She had to survive; she still wanted to see His Majesty and be loved by him.
That night, Consort Ge had a dream, a dream of the days she spent in the State of Chen, passionately in love with His Majesty the Emperor.
The next morning, her tears soaked her dirty robe.
She took some time to compose herself, then grabbed the knife and went out.
On the other side, Red Deer led her team down the mountain in two vehicles on Chaotic Realm Mountain. According to the original plan, they needed to scavenge some resources and energy from the ruins that could be used for construction, which was destined to be a difficult process.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi is a mechanical expert. The parts he brought from Tianqing City can be modified into machines, which will greatly reduce manpower and improve efficiency.
Chen Futu also left the mountaintop.
He took Luluer to inspect the environment of Luanjie Mountain, to get a clear understanding of everything so that it would be easier to carry out future modifications.
Lu Lu'er muttered, "The environment of Luanjie Mountain is good, but it won't be easy for us to start from scratch."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, just think back to when..."
Chen Futu suddenly stopped speaking at this point.
Back when I was an emperor in the lower realm, I started from a small corner of the northern frontier and eventually ruled the world.
With the system's backing, it's only a matter of time before it covers the entire upper realm; it's just not something that can be told to outsiders.
Lu Lu'er didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Brother Chen must have some kind of background, and he must be worried about something if he didn't say anything.
