The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

puff!

The icy glint of light pierced precisely into the venomous cat demon's left eye, which was wide open in agony.

But this was just the beginning. Under Chen Feng's mental control, the dagger pierced the head of the venomous cat demon through its eye socket and stirred it around inside.

Hot, purple blood, mixed with murky crystalline tissue, gushed out instantly.

The venomous cat demon's ferocious roar, stuck in its throat, abruptly ceased.

"roar!"

With a roar filled with despair and resentment.

Its massive body, nearly two meters tall, stiffened abruptly, as if all its bones had been removed.

Immediately, an extremely violent spasm spread through every inch of its muscles.

boom!

The enormous creature crashed to the ground.

The hard ground trembled, raising a cloud of choking dust.

The purple body convulsed wildly on the ground, its limbs kicking erratically, carving messy furrows in the cement.

Chen Feng's gaze finally fell on the Venomous Cat Demon.

A deep-seated hatred surfaced in his eyes.

These damn monsters, why don't they stay where they are!

Why did you come to our world?

Chen Feng clenched his fists. Since he was here, he would die!

He didn't even glance at the body convulsing on the ground.

Another superalloy dagger, tucked behind his waist, had already been silently drawn from its sheath.

Under his mental control, a silver streak of light pierced the night sky.

It did not choose the monster's hard skull.

Instead, it deftly turned and slipped directly into the mouth that was wide open in extreme pain.

The dagger began to churn wildly inside the monster's abdomen, destroying all the organs in its path.

The venomous cat demon's convulsions became more violent, more intense, and weaker.

Chen Feng still didn't stop.

What's the difference between killing a monster without finishing it off and courting death?

The third dagger was unsheathed.

Its target was clearer: the back of the monster's neck.

He needs to completely destroy the connection between its brainstem and spine.

"Elite-level monsters, with cellular activity far exceeding that of humans by ten times."

"Even after the heart stops beating, one can still survive for more than five minutes."

"The brainstem and spine must be destroyed to completely eliminate the possibility of the monster rising from the ashes; this is the only way to ensure safety."

In Wasteland, many monsters are like snakes; even if you cut off their heads, they can still bite you using muscle memory.

After the third dagger precisely pierced its intended location and completed its destructive mission, the massive purple body finally stopped twitching.

It fell completely silent.

Chen Feng remained standing in place, not immediately stepping forward.

His gaze calmly examined the corpse, as if assessing an inanimate object.

The night wind blew, stirring up the dust on the ground and bringing with it an even stronger stench of blood and decay.

He pulled a pistol from his tactical belt.

He raised his arm, the dark muzzle of the gun aimed at the motionless corpse.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Three muffled gunshots shattered the brief silence.

The firelight flashed and disappeared into the night.

On the purple corpse, there were three bullet holes from which blood was constantly seeping out.

Monsters that have died have significantly reduced cellular activity.

The fur and muscles that were originally tough enough to withstand conventional bullets could no longer provide effective protection.

Even elite-level weapons can be pierced by a pistol.

As for stronger monsters, he hadn't tried them.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's tense shoulders relaxed almost imperceptibly.

What is certain now is that the monster is completely dead.

His gaze then shifted from the monster's corpse to the tightly closed metal door not far away.

He took out the white access card he had taken from the corpse.

"drop."

The indicator light above the door lock changed from red to green.

He took out his phone again, brought up an encrypted interface, and quickly typed in a complex password.

"Click".

The heavy metal door made a dull thud as it slid smoothly inward, opening a gap large enough for one person to pass through.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Feng slipped inside.

The base was in complete disarray.

The emergency lights flickered an unstable red glow, illuminating the corridor in a dim light.

The air was filled with a strange smell, a mixture of blood and disinfectant.

Three thin, dark figures flashed past in the corridor at the end of the line of sight, letting out low, threatening growls.

Moonlight Cat Demon.

Chen Feng didn't even include them in the scope of his key observations.

A barely perceptible surge of spiritual energy flowed.

The dagger that had just shredded the venomous cat demon's internal organs transformed once again into a streak of silver lightning.

puff!puff!puff!

Three soft sounds of flesh being pierced rang out almost simultaneously, forming a continuous sound.

The three servant-level Moonlight Cat Demons didn't even have time to utter a scream before their heads were precisely pierced, and their bodies were pinned to the cold alloy wall by the enormous kinetic energy.

Brush brush!

With daggers flying, the three moonlight cat demons were dismembered into three piles of rotten flesh.

"Servant-level monsters pose no threat to me at this stage."

Chen Feng withdrew his mental energy.

Three daggers silently fell from the wall, tracing three arcs before precisely returning to their sheaths at his waist.

After he finished doing all this, he took out his encrypted phone and dialed a number.

The call was connected almost instantly.

"Elder Chi, all target monsters have been eliminated. Please provide further instructions."

......

After the streamer Mo Fang went offline, he habitually refreshed the trending topics on Douyin.

A bold, red notice was prominently displayed at the very top of the homepage.

[Announcement Regarding the Distribution of the Second Batch of Closed Beta Test Qualifications for "Wasteland Era"]

Mo Fang clicked on it.

This time, Wasteland Era will release two thousand beta test slots at once.

Furthermore, the announcement prominently featured a line of small print: "All accounts in Wasteland Era will be permanent and will never be deleted."

Never delete the game?

Mo Fang's brows furrowed tightly.

How can a game that's still in the testing phase be confirmed to be open beta so quickly?

This is usually a privilege that is offered after the public beta test begins.

However, this is good news for him.

He continued reading.

At the end of the announcement, an official item purchase notice was also attached.

[We are now offering unlimited purchases of the special item 'Moon Demon Fruit' to all players.]

[Acquisition price: 50 million Chinese Yuan per coin, plus access to the site for a close-up view of the next military parade.]

The comment section for this message is now completely flooded with comments.

The comments were all shocking.

[What kind of fruit is this? It's worth fifty million!]

Fifty million? I wouldn't even dare to dream of asking for that much!

[The official stance seems rather erratic lately, just like my own mental state. No wonder it's the place that gave me birth and raised me, I love it!]

[The key is that they not only pay, but they also give you face! I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to film a Douyin video in a place like that!]

[If life feels this good, then even death would be worthwhile.]

Fifty million?

Are there any special rewards?

Mo Fang's unease was amplified after seeing this message.

Something's really wrong.

Everything is so wrong.

Even if the official team wanted to incentivize people to play the game, they shouldn't be offering rewards like this.

Mo Fang carefully read the announcement again and again.

This is definitely not a joke; there wasn't even a limit on the number of Moon Demon Fruits that could be recycled.

The announcement itself created a harmonious atmosphere.

Not a single inappropriate sound was uttered.

The Mexican side could also imagine the reason: who would complain about such a reward?

They probably just wish they could get a Moon Demon Fruit.

But there's been a strange point that's been gradually growing in Mo Fang's mind these past few days.

From the very beginning, the official team was willing to cause turmoil in their own currency system in order to reclaim the virtual currency in the game—Source Crystals.

Now, they've offered a staggering 50 million just to buy back a single item from the game?

This goes beyond the scope of any normal game operation.

What exactly is hidden behind this?

That inexplicable and eerie feeling lingered in my heart, refusing to dissipate.

If it were just about being rich and powerful, it shouldn't be like this.
