#172 - Chapter 172 The Danger of the Holy Son
"Xiao Chen, what exactly happened?" Yan Zhengping asked again.
He was genuinely worried that even the slightest accident might occur during this zombie attack.
"I found a big fish, but unfortunately, it got away!" Dongfang Chen sighed.
"A big fish? Are you talking about a high-ranking member of the Red Coats?" Zong Zhengyue asked.
"That's right, I suspect it might be the Red Coats' Holy Son," Dongfang Chen replied.
"It's okay, let him go. As long as the zombies are eliminated, a few small fries are nothing to fear!" Zong Zhengyue comforted him.
Ever since he personally witnessed Dongfang Chen easily dealing with those Holy Envoys last time, he had thought that the Red Coats were nothing special.
"Commander Zong, we must not be careless. The Red Coats were able to develop such a large force domestically, which is not something a few small fries could achieve. I've always had a feeling that those below the Holy Envoys don't even count as true members of the cult. They lack the kind of intense worship and faith in certain things that believers in other cults possess," Dongfang Chen said.
The two Commanders nodded, indicating that they also had this feeling.
"But the young man I saw just now was different," Dongfang Chen continued.
"You saw him? How did you see him?" Zong Zhengyue looked around. There were no monitors or other people here.
Dongfang Chen's words gave him an eerie feeling, even making the back of his neck feel cold.
"Hehe, I have my own methods," Dongfang Chen said, finding it amusing.
The unknown brings fear.
It seems that whether in ancient times or modern times, people have this instinct. They naturally attribute things they cannot understand to the supernatural. This has nothing to do with a person's knowledge or experience.
"Then tell me, what's different about that person?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"He is very powerful and his eyes are filled with intense aggression," Dongfang Chen said, expressing his feelings.
"How powerful?" Yan Zhengping continued to ask.
"It's hard to say. There's too little basis for judgment. However, he can easily spot a micro reconnaissance robot the size of a fly in the sky more than ten meters high and destroy it with a flick of his finger," Dongfang Chen explained.
Yan Zhengping nodded and didn't ask any further.
He didn't have a concept in his mind either, not knowing what level of strength this belonged to.
"Even so, it shouldn't make you so worried, right? With your current strength, I don't think you can't handle it," Yan Zhengping said.
"Of course, if it were just these things, it would be fine. There's only one thing that's difficult," Dongfang Chen said.
"Which point?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"That young man wasn't wearing a mask or a cloak!" Dongfang Chen replied, word by word.
The two Commanders didn't understand what the problem was.
"What's the problem with that? Apart from those from the Red Coats, isn't that how everyone is?" Zong Zhengyue said with a smile.
"That's right! The problem is that we are all like that!" Dongfang Chen looked at him, emphasizing it.
Zong Zhengyue suddenly froze, pondered carefully, and instantly felt his hair stand on end.
"You mean…"
"That's right. If the Holy Son doesn't have any side effects from taking those pills, then they don't need to wear masks. That also means they can blend in with us and become one of us! If that's the case, it will be even more difficult for us to eradicate the Red Coats!" Dongfang Chen said.
"Indeed! Unseen enemies are even more terrifying, especially enemies who are staying by our side and can't be detected," Yan Zhengping agreed.
"This also brings considerable risks to the Chamber of Commerce's promotion. The rapid expansion of scale means the addition of a large number of new people. If some people take the opportunity to infiltrate it at this time, it may bring considerable damage to future plans," Dongfang Chen added.
"This is inevitable in itself. When there are more people, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad," Zong Zhengyue comforted him.
"Well, both Commanders should also pay attention, maybe someone around you is the Holy Son of the Red Coats," Dongfang Chen suggested.
"Don't worry, the soldiers in our troops were all recruited before the virus outbreak, and the Red Coats didn't have the opportunity to infiltrate," Zong Zhengyue said.
Dongfang Chen smiled and said nothing more.
People's faults lie in being fond of being teachers.
… …
The performance ended, and the heads of the settlements left the observation deck one after another.
Those who did not get the first batch of cooperation quotas were sent back to their respective settlements one after another under the arrangement of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Gong's Merlin Settlement can be regarded as having completed the construction of the Chamber of Commerce and the Union, so there is no need to stay.
However, Zuo Wenshan, who was newly transferred to the mayor of Mozhou City and the person in charge of the Suiyang Settlement, stayed behind. He was one of the first people to understand the Chamber of Commerce, so he got a cooperation quota without hesitation.
"Everyone, next we need to spend some time discussing some details of the cooperation. Before that, everyone can feel free to ask questions, and I will answer some questions that everyone is concerned about first. Ensuring that everyone has a sufficiently comprehensive understanding of this cooperation will help us efficiently arrange follow-up matters," Niu Xingwang said in his opening remarks.
