"Sir, over the past few months, we’ve leveraged the abilities of the professionals to set up three factories: cement, bricks, and canned goods!"

"The infrastructure on Death Island is gradually being completed, resolving the housing issues for tens of thousands of people."

"Under Colonel Xu’s command, a cleanup operation was conducted on the West Bridge from the East Bridge, resulting in the seizure of twenty-three tons of bug meat. Some were frozen, and the rest were distributed to the market."

"Moreover... A while ago, there was an attack near the coast by a mutated blue whale, about thirty meters in size. It destroyed the port under construction, resulting in thirteen casualties. However, the patrolling Nagas responded promptly and managed to hunt it down in the shortest time possible, preventing further casualties."

At this moment, Wei Xun stood beside Chen Feng, patiently explaining the recent developments of the Order.

This is not an amusement park, but a real world full of countless dangers. Casualties are common, and for this, Chen Feng did not show much sorrow.

On the contrary, he showed great interest in the construction of the factories.

Setting up factories requires meeting many conditions. In the previous environment, although Order had numerous talents, electricity damage was a primary issue that needed addressing before factories could operate.

But here, in this world where humans coexist with energy, electricity might be damaged, but people can generate power using the energy from the professionals. As these professionals advanced, they could also meet the energy supply needs. The establishment of several factories marked the first step to restoring humanity’s former glory.

In addition, Chen Feng did not forget about the city’s public facilities. With the collaborative efforts of researchers and professionals, some squares had their power supply restored, and lights would turn on at 9 PM and turn off at midnight!

Residents had not seen light at night for a long time.

With Order’s current resources, not every household can have a regular power supply. However, the power supply of the squares is undoubtedly a huge attraction for the residents.

Thus, the city witnessed some unusual scenes. Usually, by nine o’clock, most people would be asleep. But since the square got its lights, it has been bustling with people until the lights were about to go out at dawn.

This is not an isolated case. When Chen Feng left, he ordered several forces to vigorously develop infrastructure, resulting in construction evolving not only on Death Island but also across the East Bridge and T City. Although it’s impossible to supply all houses with power equipment, square power supplies have been quickly set up!

Perhaps, a famous saying could be borrowed.

Wherever there is Chen Feng, there is light!

This statement is not an exaggeration. In fact, it is because of Chen Feng’s presence that these lands, originally overrun by monsters, experienced minimal deaths and became a paradise for humans to recuperate and prepare for the next era!

And this is the power of Order.

In contrast to the isolated squabbles of Xia Gate, where different powers are only concerned with their gain and have little regard for ordinary lives, although resources have grown in the short-term, in the long run, it’s akin to digging their own graves.

What difference is there between humans without a plan and a cockroach?

Yet within Order, everyone understands that with effort, one can obtain food and a home, and even a gentle and virtuous woman. Because of this, after a brief period of mourning, they began to work hard. While professionals are strong, they cannot compare to the efforts of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ordinary people!

Order’s state of recovery in a year’s time can only be described as a miracle.

"And..." At this point, Wei Xun frowned slightly, seemingly having something significant to report.

Having reached the Golden Tier, Wei Xun is considered a true powerhouse in today’s Order. Yet even so, facing Chen Feng, he dared not show any pride and still behaved humbly.

He’s not foolish.

The higher one stands, the more they can feel the immense strength emanating from Chen Feng. Especially since Wei Xun has been with Chen Feng the longest, he knows that besides himself, those Summoned Beasts are the true trump cards.

Whether it’s the bow-wielding Elwin, the fist-swinging Flora, or the Inferior Demon who always threatened to eat him, Wei Xun has no confidence in defeating them. Because of this, when he looked at Chen Feng, Wei Xun always felt a sense of insignificance—a sense of frustration that he would never catch up, even if he chased for a lifetime.

"What else?" Chen Feng inquired when he saw Wei Xun hesitate.

Wei Xun quickly gathered his composure and said, "Sir, after more than a year of recuperation, the newborns of Order have been gradually coming into the world. Over this period, six hundred infants have been born. When you left, you asked the medical department to carefully examine the awakening potential of these infants. The report from a few days ago is complete, and out of the six hundred infants, as many as twenty-three are naturally awakened!"

As he finished speaking, Wei Xun’s voice trembled slightly.

Six hundred children, and twenty-three professionals. Since when did awakenings become so commonplace?

It’s important to note that at the onset of the apocalypse, a professional might only appear among thousands or even tens of thousands of people. But now, among just six hundred infants, there are over twenty lucky ones. Wei Xun felt as if he were dreaming. This is just a small portion of the pregnant women. According to statistics, there are over a thousand pregnant women in the territories surrounding Order. Once they give birth, how many more professionals will emerge?

It won’t take long, maybe not even ten years, before these newly born young professionals surpass the current ones, those lucky enough to awaken among millions!

Chen Feng didn’t speak. He just took a deep breath, sensing the vibrant energy in the air.

Over a period of change, the energy in the air had transformed somewhat. Compared to before, this energy became more suitable for humans, or rather, humans have become familiar with this energy!

When the apocalypse first struck, energy appeared in every corner of this continent. However, back then, the energy concentration was not high, and human physiques varied greatly in energy absorption, making mutations extremely rare.

Yet, after more than a year of development, the energy in the air has increased more than threefold. Moreover, since pregnancy, the fetus has been absorbing the surrounding energy through the mother’s body, greatly increasing the likelihood of mutation in such circumstances!

Why would Wei Xun feel afraid?

He has already reached the Golden Tier, and even if those younger ones have talent, it would take decades for them to influence his position. So, he doesn’t worry about his future because of the increase in professionals.

The reason Wei Xun feels fear is because, in his view, professionals were originally a mutation. In the eyes of some, this makes them God’s chosen, inherently superior to ordinary people. Most professionals have this feeling to some extent.

But now, as reality reveals that he is not truly God’s chosen one—because more and more professionals are being nurtured in the bellies of pregnant women—it won’t be long, whether it’s a year, five years, or ten, before the streets are filled with professionals of all kinds. By then, an ordinary person might become a rarity because they haven’t awakened!

Wei Xun felt as if he had awakened from a long dream.

When did humanity, which prides itself as being at the top of the food chain, become the abandoned ones?

Wei Xun spread his hands and activated energy, transforming once more into a lizardman in just a moment.

A lizardman, this could only prove his uniqueness, that he was favored by heaven.

But when several, dozens, or hundreds of mutated lizardmen appear, would they still call themselves human? And when these lizardmen reproduce and give birth to new life, would they be born without the human form, becoming completely green-skinned, with tails?

In such a situation, would there come a day when a group of arrogant individuals would proclaim themselves not as humans, but as a new race?

Wei Xun felt a certain bewilderment, sensing that the world was like an unbridled horse, no longer under anyone’s control.

And this is precisely why Wei Xun felt fear. As more professionals are born, it’s as if this world is a hefty book, with the rise of the newborns unveiling a new Chapter of civilization!

"Will humanity become a thing of the past?" This was Wei Xun’s final question.

Chen Feng looked at him and slowly said, "In this world, all creatures undergo evolution to survive. Creatures in frigid lands evolve thick fur due to the cold. In places where food is scarce, creatures may go days or even weeks without consuming food or water to store energy. Amidst this apocalypse, humans are also creatures. To withstand terrifying enemies, they must become stronger to survive..."

After a few seconds of pause, Chen Feng looked at Wei Xun’s gradually pale face and said solemnly, "Survival of the fittest, in this land full of predators, only strength allows for better survival..."
