Chapter 228: Chapter 138: Purging the Malignant Tumor, Unifying the Northern Territory, Assembling the Mysterious and Powerful Kidney Harvester Team

"Kun Sha is dead!"

"All the traitors and spies among you have been eliminated!"

"Now, the apocalypse has come. The world has changed, and nothing is the same!"

"I’m giving you all a choice. Anyone who wants to leave can do so immediately!"

"For those who don’t want to leave, I can offer you a new job. It’s still a broker role, but one where you won’t suffer any inhuman treatment!"

Leaping onto a table, Shen Fei shouted, quickly laying everything out. "Alright! Next, we’re going to the rooftop! Don’t struggle!"

Without giving them a chance to react after he finished speaking, Shen Fei manipulated countless Vine Towers to wrap directly around everyone’s waists. Then, amidst their startled cries, he pulled them all up to the rooftop.

WHOOSH.

Standing on the highest rooftop, they looked out at the surrounding area. What had once been a dense forest was now reduced to nothing but bare tree stumps. As far as the eye could see, not a single large tree remained.

The crowd, who had just been teleported back from Country F, was stunned. Their eyes went wide, and as they exchanged glances, they quickly communicated using a sign language only they could understand.

They certainly understood and were convinced of Shen Fei’s power. Putting everything else aside, just a moment ago they had been in Country F—tens of thousands of kilometers away—for over ten minutes. A few among them who knew foreign languages had even spoken with the organizers for a bit.

When they learned that they had been teleported from the Northern Territory of Myanmar to Country F in the blink of an eye, everyone was completely baffled. But before they could even get used to the environment in Country F, with another SWISH, they were yanked back to northern Myanmar.

Those who had planned to escape in Country F opened their eyes to find themselves back in this terrifying place, their faces instantly turning ashen. But after hearing what Shen Fei had just said and seeing the surrounding scenery, their expressions changed once again.

After a long silence, someone in the crowd on the rooftop finally raised their hand high. "Sir! We can leave? Does that mean I can go back to that arena in Country F?"

"No need to report!" Shen Fei, knowing what the man was getting at, answered directly. "You can, but that was a link created by a special item. You’d be teleported back afterward, and your movement would be restricted to just that stadium!"

Cries of "Huh?!" erupted from those who had the same idea.

Of course, they didn’t want to stay here. Although they found it strange that Shen Fei would let them go, most had no desire to stay if given the chance. But with the apocalypse upon them, the planet had expanded and travel was nigh impossible. Furthermore, the wilds teemed with all sorts of mutated and newly emerged monsters. No one wanted to attempt the journey back to their hometowns the old way. The first place everyone thought of was the stadium in Country F they had just visited. But upon hearing Shen Fei’s answer, the hope that had swelled in their hearts gave way to panic once more.

Seeing the panicked looks on their faces, Shen Fei spoke again. "Anyone who wants to leave may do so immediately! If you don’t leave, I will arrange new jobs for you. But rest assured, the new jobs will have a strict eight-hour workday, with a salary, vacation time, and weekends! And as long as you don’t leak work secrets, you’ll have free access to the new Forum!"

In any case, the goal is a fair trade. If you’re willing, you can stay, and I’ll provide safety and material security. If you’re not willing, you can also leave. As for having me send you back to Great Xia, that’s impossible—at least, not right now. Because even I can’t do it. My uses of Long-range Teleportation are incredibly precious; I can’t possibly waste them on these people.

The moment Shen Fei finished speaking, a man in his thirties excitedly raised his hand. "Sir! We can freely access the new Forum?!"

With the apocalypse here, even if a way to leave presented itself, as ordinary people, they lacked the ability to actually get away. They could really only stay put. But hearing that they could freely access the new Forum got everyone excited. Their bodies couldn’t leave, but as long as they could access the Forum without restriction, that was a kind of freedom in its own right. Besides, there were also the previously unimaginable vacation days, salary, and work hours.

"Yes! You’ll have unrestricted access, but you can’t use it as an excuse to slack off at work!" Shen Fei responded with a slight smile.

A short while later, as everyone began to ponder his offer, Shen Fei gazed into the distance. He was surprised to see that the Little Tree People he had driven away earlier had reappeared.

WHOOSH.

He instantly activated the powerful Defense Tower, preparing to drive them away again, but suddenly froze. Stunned, he stared, dumbfounded, as the Little Tree People drew near.

"What the—!" he muttered, completely flustered. Do you guys actually have intelligence or not...

What are they doing? Are they offering me logistical support?

Shen Fei was just about to control the Defense Tower to chase the Little Tree People off again. He had even been thinking that if Number Zero wanted to establish the Ninth World headquarters here, he might have to clear out these threatening Little Tree People along with all the other nearby creatures.

He never expected that before he could even act on that thought, the Little Tree People would return on their own. Moreover, this time they had transformed their branch-like hands into the shape of trays.

Balancing the trays on their heads, they approached Shen Fei reverently. The trays were laden with large quantities of apples, pears, bananas, and other fruits.
