What just happened?
Zheng Hao asked, utterly bewildered.
It seemed... all those Crawlers were dead...
And they were defeated in a single move... leaving not even a trace behind...
Tan Sibao's jaw nearly hit the floor in astonishment.
They had fought Crawlers before.
They knew how formidable they were.
Back then, his small team, with the cooperation of everyone, plus Zheng Hao, a powerful Awakened, could only barely fight the Crawlers to a draw.
The final outcome was a complete retreat.
Later, because they not only suffered no casualties but also managed to retreat safely when encountering a Crawler ambush,
Tan Sibao had even boasted about it extravagantly within the camp.
He felt it was something incredibly impressive...
And yet, facing six Crawlers, Zhang Chen casually waved his hand...
No, he didn't even wave his hand...
These monsters simply turned to dust and vanished!
... This is not scientific!
Of course, I know these guys died without leaving a trace!
I'm asking if you saw what method he used to eliminate these Crawlers?
At least we need to know the Crawlers' weaknesses, right?
It's too costly to probe them every time at the risk of our lives!
Zheng Hao asked urgently.
I couldn't see clearly... You're an Awakened and still couldn't see clearly...
I'm only at the peak of physical conditioning. How could I possibly see clearly?
Tan Sibao muttered softly.
Zheng Hao glared at Tan Sibao, but what he said made sense.
There was really nothing for him to blame the other person for.
This guy's growth speed was truly astonishingly fast!
If only he could join our camp!
Zheng Hao muttered to himself a couple of times.
Suddenly, as if making up his mind, he ran towards Zhang Chen.
Tan Sibao, along with his team members, quickly followed behind.
Afraid that Zhang Chen might misunderstand their intentions,
He specifically ordered everyone to put away their weapons and armor into their storage rings.
In the face of such a powerful individual, any armor was as ephemeral as mist.
It was better to be forthright and show as much friendliness as possible.
After all, if he truly intended to kill them, escape would be impossible.
It was better to be sincere and increase his favorability!
However, Tan Sibao and the others dared not go upstairs, waiting downstairs instead.
In the classroom.
Zheng Hao adjusted his emotions, trying to appear less nervous.
And with full confidence, he then spoke to Zhang Chen with feigned ease:
Brother Zhang, I didn't expect us to meet again!
Zhang Chen grunted, remaining silent.
Zheng Hao awkwardly retracted the hand he had extended for a handshake and said:
It's like this, Brother Zhang, on behalf of the Revival Camp, I sincerely invite you to join us!
I can make you the second-in-command of the camp, and you can govern the camp with me. What do you think?
As soon as he said this.
Tan Sibao, waiting downstairs, felt a sense of embarrassment, his face flushing.
He thought to himself:
Good heavens, Zheng Hao, your thick skin is truly remarkable!
The combined strength of our entire camp isn't enough for even a finger of his!
If I were to go up there, I'd definitely kowtow first, kneeling to show respect to Big Brother!
Being by the side of such a powerful individual, even getting some scraps would be a hundred times better than our current situation!
Don't you think about it, why would he want a bunch of dead weights? And then have to take orders from you?
Zheng Hao, you've truly become arrogant!
As expected, Zhang Chen chuckled twice and said:
Thank you for your invitation, but I'll pass on being the second-in-command.
However... your talent is good...
And you're not a bad person... at least you knew to warn me instead of planning to kill me!
I happen to need a team to help me plant some crops!
If you are willing to join my organization, I can let your team participate.
After saying this, Zheng Hao's first reaction was a shiver down his spine, and he thought to himself with relief!
Fortunately, he had warned him.
Otherwise, once the trap was sprung...
Knowing that the other party had fallen into a trap and not warning them would mean that he harbored killing intent towards them!
With a casual flick of his finger, Zhang Chen could instantly make all the combat power of the Revival Camp disappear from the face of the earth!
His act of kindness had actually saved the lives of everyone in the camp!
How close it was!
Tan Sibao, listening downstairs, focused on the fact that Zhang Chen had established an organization!
It was known that establishing an organization not only had strict strength requirements but also demanded 1,000 crystal cores!
Of course, that was the price a few days ago.
The cost of establishing an organization would increase over time.
The current price had already soared to 10,000 crystal cores to establish an organization!
Even Tan Sibao, up to this point, had never earned more than 500 crystal cores.
He still felt that 1,000 crystal cores was a number from a fairy tale!
How could anyone possibly have so many crystal cores!
And that was just a few days ago?!
He hadn't expected to encounter someone like this today.
Where did this guy get so many crystal cores?
Without delaying the establishment of an organization, and without delaying upgrades!
This is too monstrous!
This... I need... to consider it...
I need to discuss it with the core members of the camp...
Zheng Hao said hesitantly.
Facing a powerhouse like Zhang Chen, he genuinely felt awe and admiration.
By the side of such a powerful individual, he would surely learn a great deal.
Even if he picked up some outdated equipment that the other party didn't use, it would definitely significantly boost his combat power!
But Zheng Hao was ambitious. Submitting to Zhang Chen like this made him feel somewhat unwilling.
With two conflicting thoughts wrestling in his mind, he found it difficult to make a decision.
Damn it, Old Zheng, what are you hesitating for!
You're not joining this good opportunity?
It's just that he didn't fancy me; if he had invited me, I would have agreed immediately!
I would have kowtowed to him a few times too!
Tan Sibao couldn't stand it any longer and stomped upstairs from downstairs.
This... I need to discuss it with Old Qian and the other three captains!
After all, I am the person in charge of the Revival Camp, and I have to be responsible for everyone.
Zheng Hao said hesitantly.
What is there to discuss? I've already informed Old Qian and the other captains about this. You can check their private messages yourself!
Tan Sibao said with exasperation and disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Hao quickly checked his chat messages.
As expected, the other three captains had sent messages agreeing.
They often fought outside and knew too well the significance of a powerful individual to a camp.
Therefore, their thoughts were the same as Tan Sibao's; they were just one step away from coming to kowtow!
Qian Zhenyu, who was the most meticulous and understood Zheng Hao the best, said:
Since there really is such a powerful individual, I think we should join!
You are a member of the organization, and at the same time, you are the head of the camp; there's no conflict. In fact, for both you and the camp, there are almost no negative impacts!
In today's world, strength is power!
Actively joining an organization and completing tasks is an honor!
If we are coerced by a powerhouse to do things... then we become slaves... the situation would be completely different!
These words reminded Zheng Hao of his first meeting with Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen had asked for half of the supermarket's supplies right away.
But he truly couldn't say the word "no" to even half of it...
If the person he met back then wasn't Zhang Chen, but a more terrifying and cruel opponent?
Killing everyone and taking all the supplies...
He might not even be here today...
Besides, being able to dominate an area together with such a powerhouse could be considered the fulfillment of his aspirations, couldn't it?!
With this thought, Zheng Hao resolved his inner conflict, knelt on one knee, and declared loudly:
I am willing to join your organization and pledge allegiance to you as my leader! I shall never betray you for life!
