CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 266: MONICA (3)

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression slightly changed; it was the first time they’ve heard of someone actually fighting over Abnormal Bodies; usually, people couldn’t hide from them fast enough.

However, after some thought, everyone could understand. If it’s just a handful of C-level or B-level Abnormal Bodies, they wouldn’t pose any real threat against the tens of thousands of physically fit survivors in this journey.

"So, for the next few days, you can rest easy in the city," Monica said. "Rest up, recruit, and rejuvenate. Phoenix Society and the Arctic Wind Alliance have a lot of material supplies. Even without exchanging Blood Essence, Phoenix Society offers basic supplies and defensive weapons for free, or you can even join other convoys or the Phoenix Society itself, which could be a good option."

"Recruiting?" Shi Deyuan found the term refreshing: "What, has recruiting people started here?"

"It’s not exactly recruiting," Qian Deli said lightly at this point. "With more people, this naturally happens. Small convoys want to join big convoys; Superpower Users also want someone to rely on. Phoenix Society is just supporting; they can’t take care of such a large group entirely. Moreover, joining Phoenix Society is highly demanding, and the missions are constantly dangerous with a high mortality rate. It’s more comfortable to stick with the big convoys."

"That’s true,"

Monica smiled slightly: "Joining Phoenix Society isn’t exactly a good gig. Most convoys choose to cooperate because survivors head to places of living, while Phoenix Society goes to dangerous zones. Generally, one has to weigh whether they have that kind of courage."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into silence.

Initially, many thought that joining Phoenix Society meant finding a powerful backer, but that’s precisely where Phoenix Society differs from Federation Dawn City.

Lin Xian had actually realized this long ago. Dawn City might charge protection fees, but survivors under its protection aren’t responsible for defending the city unless it’s utterly destroyed.

But Phoenix Society doesn’t even have a city; they have no base. They provide global support, guiding survivors to pursue the dawn. Their goal is to lead these survivors to resist darkness, not just shelter them. This means that joining Phoenix Society is, in fact, taking on the great responsibility of saving humanity—a realization not everyone can have.

This is also why the interstellar army has always been revered. After Apocalypse Day, the interstellar army became the only armed force capable of protecting survivors. When the world was in dire straits, they were the ones who chose to stand at the forefront without hesitation.

"The big convoys recruit powerful Superpower Users, Genetic Evolvers, and others with Special Skills; other convoys do the same, accumulating and strengthening their power to gain more self-protection ability."

Monica continued drinking and speaking to herself: "Now, Blood Essence has become hard currency. It can be exchanged with large alliances, organizations, and Phoenix Society for a lot of living supplies and weapons. Anyway, Xilan City has a bit of a survivor settlement look now, with some signs of temporary commercialization. You might even find spring on Tian Nan Street over there."

Qian Deli rolled his eyes and spat at her: "What’s there to say? It’s all about survival now; customs and laws no longer matter."

"That wasn’t exactly my point~"

Monica pressed the wine glass against her slightly flushed cheek, her gaze meaningfully sweeping over the men: "Those women are quite characters, you know~ Never experienced the services of Special Superpower Users?"

Pfft~

As soon as she finished speaking, several convoy captains drinking immediately spat it out, and even Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan couldn’t help but look shocked.

Special Superpower Users...

Before Monica mentioned it, Lin Xian had never even thought about this aspect.

A group of men exchanged glances, while Ning Jing crossed her arms, her gaze indifferently watching Monica: "Let’s talk about something serious, like what we can use in the city or Phoenix Society’s plans."

Upon hearing this, Monica smiled faintly, took a sip of wine, and said seriously,

"Anyway, when day breaks, you can visit the streets where survivors gather on Central Avenue. They basically have everything you want, as long as you have things to trade or hard currency like Blood Essence; you can find anything."

"As for Phoenix Society, all I know at the moment is that the person in charge here is named Zhao Yu, who also controls the Seventh Investigation Corps. The current plan is to evacuate Xilan City on the 31st, which is the day after tomorrow, so you have two days and nights to recuperate. Additionally, the Nightwalker Organization is conducting Superpower and Genetic Evolution testing at Mitchell Church on Central Avenue. If you’re an Evolver above Evolution Level or a Genetic Evolver above Level 3, the Nightwalker Organization will also give some supplies as compensation for participating in the testing, even more for Vajra Level."

"However, I must remind you,"

Monica looked at the crowd: "There are many formidable figures in Xilan City. Both the big convoys and Phoenix City have their eyes on it. If your talents show outstanding strength, some convoys will definitely notice. The conditions offered by these big convoys vary, and there are a lot of temptations. Superpower Users from your own convoys going for testing and then defecting to other convoys happen every day; nothing to be surprised about."

"Ha~ What’s the big deal about that?" Shi Deyuan said nonchalantly after hearing this: "If people want to go, and the conditions are good and life is easier, it’s only natural and makes perfect sense. If any of my people find a better place to find shade under a big tree, I’d be a thousand times happy; it would take some of the pressure off me, hahahaha."
