Ling Feng also looked at Shen Yan and smiled.

"You should eat too. When you're traveling, it's good to help each other out, no need to worry about it!"

When Shen Yan heard Ling Feng say that, she felt it would be impolite to refuse again, and besides, Ling Feng didn't seem like a bad person.

Someone as handsome as him can't be all bad!

Shen Yan pondered to herself.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ling! I won't let you down, please eat!"

"Okay, sister!" Shen Hong shouted happily!

Then, without waiting, he picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a slice of beef roll from the bowl, and put it in his mouth, revealing a satisfied expression.

"It's so delicious!" Shen Hong said happily.

Then the siblings began to eat in silence, with Shen Hong's chopsticks flying up and down in the pot, his little mouth stuffed full.

In contrast, Shen Yan was much more elegant, eating slowly and deliberately. Although she and her brother hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, they still maintained their quiet and gentle demeanor.

While the siblings were eating, Ling Feng gained a preliminary understanding of them through conversation.

It turns out the siblings were both from Jiangnan Province, having grown up by the sea. Their parents relied on the sea for their livelihood. After the apocalypse, their village managed to survive relatively well thanks to their previously stored fish catch.

The siblings even activated their special abilities together; the older sister's ability is a water-based ability that can control anything related to water.

Originally, their family lived a fairly cozy life, and since both of them were superhumans, they were quite respected in the village.

However, something happened half a month ago that brought utter devastation to their entire village.

According to Shen Hong, one morning about two weeks ago, the village was suddenly attacked by a group of monsters.

Their appearance was very strange; from a distance, they looked humanoid, but upon closer inspection, the differences became apparent.

Their skin was blue, they were completely naked, and their bodies had hard, fish-like scales covered in slime. You could smell their fishy odor from a great distance.

These monsters were incredibly strong and numerous; they emerged from the sea.

After storming into the village, they began a killing spree, biting off people's necks with their sharp teeth, sucking the blood out of their bodies, and frantically devouring them.

The entire village was transformed into a living hell in an instant.

Although the fishermen in the village were all physically strong, they were no match for these monsters. With a casual swing, the monsters could sever a person's head.

What's even more terrifying is that these monsters are incredibly intelligent, no less so than humans. They know how to use weapons and can even grab people and drag them back into the sea.

Of all the people in the village, only the brother and sister survived by using their superpowers. Shen Hong's body was severely damaged from overusing his superpowers that time.

After listening to the siblings' description, Ling Feng fell into deep thought!

Judging from their tone of voice, they didn't seem to be joking, especially Shen Hong, whose sorrowful expression when talking about his parents being killed by a monster didn't seem fake.

This was the first time Ling Feng had ever heard of the monster they were talking about.

Could it be that after the apocalypse, the creatures in the sea also mutated?

Ling Feng woke up Zheng Sanbao and told him about it. Zheng Sanbao had lived a long time and might know something.

After listening to Ling Feng's description, Zheng Sanbao's expression changed repeatedly.

"Old Zheng, do you know something?"

Ling Feng looked at Zheng Sanbao.

Zheng Sanbao said with a serious expression.

“I had seen a record of this kind of creature in an ancient book before. There is a fish-man in the depths of the sea whose appearance is very similar to that of the brother and sister.”

"But those merfolk have always kept to themselves and never come ashore, so why would they attack humans?"

Zheng Sanbao looked puzzled.

Shen Hong, who was already full, said this.

"Those monsters like to eat human brains and hearts; their methods are extremely cruel!"

Ling Feng decided that after returning to the base, he must instruct his men to keep a close watch on the sea. After all, half of the cities in Handong Province are located on the coast, and if such fish-men exist, Handong Province will be the first to be affected.

Moreover, these fishmen are numerous, powerful, and hidden deep in the sea, making them quite difficult to deal with!

As everyone chatted, the sky gradually darkened. Ling Feng took out a small desk lamp, tidied up the table, put out some melon seeds, and chatted with the siblings.

The group gradually became acquainted.

"Brother Ling, can I join your base? I also want to conquer the world with the War God Brigade!" Shen Hong said with longing.

After listening to Ling Feng's introduction to the War God Base, he was immediately captivated, especially by the invincible War God Brigade, which became his target.

Shen Yan glared at him and reprimanded him.

"Brother Ling's base is full of powerful superhumans. Wouldn't you be a hindrance if you went there with your current strength?"

After chatting for a while, Shen Yan gradually lowered her guard and became less distant in addressing Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was overjoyed.

He thought to himself that his manipulation had finally worked, and he had captured another potential powerhouse. With a little training, he would surely become a powerful superhuman in the future.

However, on the surface, Ling Feng still spoke calmly.

"Joining our base is no problem at all. There are many ordinary people in our base. As long as you work hard, you can get food, and the base will also guarantee your safety!"

"But if you want to join the core management team of the base, you not only need to undergo rigorous screening, but also possess strong abilities. You'll need to work hard in the base!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hong immediately spoke with excitement.

"Brother Ling, don't worry, I will work hard and raise my strength to the King level as soon as possible. In the future, I will not only join the War God Brigade, but also become a captain-level powerhouse!"

Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Shen Yan was also very happy. She and her brother had been wandering for the past few days, encountering many dangers and suffering a lot of scorn and bullying.

Now that she could join a powerful base, providing a safe haven for her and her brother, she couldn't be happier.

"Brother Feng, why don't you take me in too!" Ling Tian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking at Ling Feng with a grin.

Ling Feng was startled by Ling Tian's sudden appearance, wondering where he had been hiding without him noticing.

Even the black panther lying on the ground was startled by Ling Tian's sudden appearance and stood up abruptly.

"How did you suddenly appear?!" Ling Feng said, speechless.

At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. There was clearly no one around him, so how did he appear? Moreover, his perception ability was a hundred times that of an ordinary person, so it was impossible that he hadn't seen him.
