The people in the conference room stared blankly at the heads of the demon-faced apes scattered all over the floor.
Even a small squad of the Explorers Corps would need considerable strength to hunt down the Ghost-Faced Ape, and they would also have to be careful of other mutated creatures on Paradise Island.
So Yang Cheng has hunted down so many Ghost-Faced Apes all by himself. Just how strong is he? Could it be that he has awakened a fourth-tier gene?
Yoshikawa Shinichi looked at this scene with slight disbelief and frowned, saying, "Did you really enter Paradise Island to hunt the mutated demon-faced ape?"
"Aren't we just looking for other ordinary Ghost-Faced Apes? You know, the Ghost-Faced Apes look almost identical before and after their mutation."
Tang Huang scoffed, "You're just nitpicking."
The mutated species are different in each region. So far, the Ghost-Faced Ape has only been found on Paradise Island; how could it possibly exist elsewhere?
Shinichi Yoshikawa said casually, "Currently, the furthest our Explorers Corps has explored is no more than seven thousand kilometers, and we haven't even fully explored the Dark Desert."
Moreover, in some places they are constantly mutating, so how can you be sure that there can't be other ghost-faced apes in other places?
At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly coughed and said, "If Deputy Regiment Commander Yoshikawa Shinichi doesn't believe me, he can send someone to Paradise Island to take a look."
The Ghost-Faced Apes on Paradise Island were a clan, and I've wiped them all out. There are still quite a few corpses there.
I also want to report some information: the source of mutations on Paradise Island has mysteriously disappeared, and no new mutated species will be born on Paradise Island anymore.
I've also eliminated quite a few other mutated species, so the danger level can be lowered.
I also cleared out the mutated creatures in the Dead Sea, greatly reducing their numbers.
The truth about Paradise Island cannot be kept secret, after all, there may be other wilderness wanderers on Paradise Island in the future.
Moreover, there's no need to hide it, since the divine inheritance of the Seven Killings Star Lord has already passed to him.
This time, even Tang Huang and Duanmu Ci looked at Yang Cheng with horrified eyes.
According to Yang Cheng, he almost single-handedly slaughtered his way through the entire Paradise Island, effectively lowering the danger level of this forbidden area, which was teeming with mutated creatures.
Dillon said in a deep voice, "Immediately send people to Paradise Island to investigate. There's no need to go ashore; long-endurance drones can be used overseas."
Yang Cheng, if things are really as you say, I will award you the rank of squad leader separately.
The Explorers' Legion's most important achievement was exploring and even completely resolving a dangerous region.
Yang Cheng's feat of reducing the danger level of Paradise Island by fighting his way through it is already a great achievement.
No one in the entire history of the Explorers Legion has ever made such a great contribution in the new recruit trial mission.
Three days later, the explorer legion's investigators returned and reported on the current situation on Paradise Island, which indeed matched what Yang Cheng had said.
The Explorers Corps was quite efficient; after recognizing his merits, they immediately began awarding Yang Cheng medals and assuming his post.
Because it was a conferment of the rank of major, a member of the Tower Council was specially invited to attend the ceremony.
However, the senator was fat and looked like he had a lot of bloated flesh. He seemed very impatient and left in a hurry after completing his business in a very official manner, as if the air in the Explorers Legion was filled with the smell of inferior people.
Most of the Explorers Legion members, including Dillon, were indifferent, with only Duanmu Ci and Tang Huang showing some barely concealed anger.
Yang Cheng now understands why the Tower's cohesion is so weak; just look at the attitude of these upper-level people.
They regarded the people on the first and even second floors as slaves and lowly people, showing them no respect whatsoever.
Even the explorer legions who risk their lives for them are like this.
Awarding medals and taking office should be a very honorable thing, but they made it seem like an insult. It's just bizarre.
After everyone had left, Duanmu Ci walked over and, unusually, spoke to Yang Cheng, saying, "Don't get angry. That's just how those guys at the top of the tower are."
"We, the Explorers Legion, do not fight for them, but for the Tower."
Yang Cheng countered, "The Tower Council represents the highest power in the Tower. If we fight for the Tower, aren't we just risking our lives for them?"
Duanmu Ci was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "No!"
I grew up surrounded by the dead in the shelter.
I was not even ten years old at the time. When I woke up from the freeze, all I saw was a shelter that had lost its power supply and whose doors could not be opened.
The people inside began to kill each other, starting with plundering supplies and food, and eventually resorting to cannibalism. I lived like this for several years until the explorer legion finally opened the shelter.
For me, the Explorers Legion is my home, and the tower is the last ray of light in the apocalypse.
But hope and light do not belong to those at the top!
Tang Huang patted Duanmu Ci on the shoulder: "You either don't talk at all, or when you do, you say things you shouldn't. Have you forgotten what you once told me?"
Turning to Yang Cheng, Duanmu Ci tossed him a badge representing the Explorers Legion and said, "You are now a major squad leader under Duanmu Ci, but unfortunately you don't have any subordinates yet."
Your permanent residence permit contains 20,000 Tower Coins, including a month's salary and your bonus for exploring Paradise Island. Our Explorers Legion is quite generous with money.
Don't take what Duanmu Ci said just now to heart. Whether everyone will survive to the end is uncertain; who has time to worry about those messy things at the top?
