"We still have plenty of time. Do you mind if I examine you? It won't take long. Some simple, basic tests, no more than an hour, and I'll be able to draw a conclusion."
Li Fengnian looked at Chen Yan with sharp eyes and asked.
Chen Yan didn't think about it at all, and instinctively shook his head and refused, "I still mind it, because I feel that my physical condition is very good and I don't need any examination."
Li Fengnian showed his disappointment without hiding his expression. He nodded and said, "Well, after all, the body is yours, you have the final say. Then... when you evacuate within three days, you should pass by here again, right? Can you take me with you then? I want to go with you."
Chen Yan looked at Li Fengnian in confusion and asked, "Why did you want to come with us? With all due respect, ever since I learned that you're a ruthless person who could migrate from North America to here on your own two feet, I don't think there's any place in this world you can't go to if you want to."
Li Fengnian sighed and said, "I'm ashamed. Those were all ignorant and arrogant actions when I was young. If I were my age now, I would definitely not make the same choice as I did back then. But people have different concepts at different ages, and their thoughts and actions are always changing with time.
Besides, even when I was young, I traveled thousands of miles to get here, not just because I had a lame leg. I encountered countless dangers along the way that made me feel desperate. But I was lucky. Every time I was on the verge of death, I always managed to escape danger inexplicably.
As for now, I'm older and no longer have the naive ideas and drive I had back then. And once people get older, they start to fear loneliness, so I also want to be like you, living in a group, trusting each other, relying on each other, and supporting each other to survive in this fucked-up world.
Chen Yan frowned.
What Li Fengnian said gave him the same feeling as before.
They should all be true and from the heart, but they are not complete.
Of course, everyone in this world has their own secrets.
Appropriate concealment during communication is an understandable act of self-protection.
It’s just that Li Fengnian is too mysterious. Even though his origins are very clear, in Chen Yan’s view, he is still like a fog. No one knows whether he hides candy or a sharp knife.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yan said cautiously, "I can't give you an answer right away, because not all of our team members are here. Whether to accept an outsider to join requires the decision of everyone in the team.
If you truly wish to come with us, please wait here for a few days. We will discuss your situation in detail after we return. Of course, no matter what the outcome, we will inform you when we evacuate."
Li Fengnian nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. I'll wait for your news here."
Chen Yan shook hands with Li Fengnian, then turned and left with the others.
The camp was still in chaos, but wherever Chen Yan and his group passed, all the thugs who were committing crimes would immediately make way and wait obediently until Chen Yan and his group passed by before continuing their beastly acts that had been interrupted.
There were some thugs who were completely dominated by the large amount of dopamine and endorphins secreted, and their minds were not clear at all. They did not notice Chen Yan and his group passing by.
For such thugs, Chen Yan and his team will put an end to the crimes they are committing.
However, apart from doing it for the sake of convenience, Chen Yan and his team would not deliberately stop any atrocities.
It was as if they were watching an immersive holographic movie, always detached from the atrocities happening around them.
In fact, before the chaos broke out, most of the violent thugs were ordinary survivors struggling to survive in this camp.
Before the order was torn apart, they lived honestly and cautiously, huddled like skinny mice, and only dared to spend their days in a hurry in dark corners.
With the complete collapse of order, these people, after experiencing initial confusion, quickly went from one extreme to another.
They were still rats, but they began to run out from the corners and started baring their teeth around!
When the mice muster up the courage, gather together and start eating people, they will find that human flesh is so sweet. It turns out that those people only have a huge body, but in fact, when they see them, they will still be scared to jump around!
When the forces of strength and weakness are reversed, atrocities will intensify.
"Do we really want to let Li Fengnian evacuate to Quancheng with us?"
As soon as the group walked out of the Blackthorn Camp, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but ask.
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "I'm not sure. Let's go back and ask Grandpa Fei for his opinion. But from my personal point of view, Li Fengnian has never shown any hostility towards us so far. On the contrary, he has provided us with a lot of help.
If he has other motives, then what is there for us to gain? To put it bluntly, before I showed up, all of you combined wouldn't be worth as much as a level five genetic potion.
If he truly had other motives, it could only be related to me. And how strong must a ruthless person be to be able to travel thousands of miles from North America to here solely by relying on his own abilities?
Even if we take a step back and say that, regardless of whether he has ulterior motives or not, if he truly has ill intentions, then given his strength, perhaps there would be no need to go through so much trouble. So, I personally tend to continue to engage with him."
Qin Yourong echoed, "I think so too. Li Fengnian must be stronger than us. Otherwise, how did he manage to intimidate the Blackthorn Company back then? Given his strength, if he really wants to follow us forever, then even if we refuse, it won't make much sense."
In that case, we might as well just go with the flow and formally accept him. Before Chen Yan showed up, Li Fengnian hadn't shown any extra interest in us. If his target is Chen Yan, it's only related to Chen Yan's own characteristics. I think the risk is acceptable."
Qin Yourong had barely finished speaking when Cong Jing suddenly chimed in, "Li Fengnian is incredibly skilled at preparing genetic medicines. I'd like to learn from him. If I can learn how to extract essences and prepare medicines, we'll have another stable source of income in the future."
Xu Qinghe hesitated and said, "I understand. Then... let's see what Mr. Fei thinks."
