Chapter 143 Superpower: Mind Control? (Please Subscribe)

Before you knew it, a night had passed.

The next day, just as dawn broke, a large truck arrived at the gate of Chenjiabao.

The bus was crowded with people, mostly the elderly, women, and children, whose eyes were filled with unease.

However, when the gate of the village opened and Chen Fan appeared in front of them, they were all completely relieved.

"Uncle Liu, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Fan smiled at Liu Yong and the others who were holding guns in the car.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "It's not hard work at all. Alright, everyone, get off the bus. We still need to go back and pick up the next group of people."

After getting off the truck, everyone looked around curiously.

Is this Zhao Family Fortress?

It's a place that's supposedly very safe.

The group lined up obediently and entered the fortress, looking around and whispering among themselves.

"Wow, that's a really high wall! It looks like it's over four meters high!"

"Yes, it's not only tall, but also thick."

"It's not just the walls, this place looks huge, there are so many houses, I can't even count them all."

"Didn't Guodong say that this place can accommodate one or two thousand people? And there are farmlands behind it where we can grow food. Even if we don't have any game to hunt in the future, we can still be self-sufficient."

"That's right, I heard it from Guodong too. He said that when the time comes, everyone will be allocated a piece of land."

Upon hearing this, everyone's smiles widened even further.

As time passed, the number of people arriving gradually increased, and after a brief period of unease, everyone became excited.

Those who were originally inside the fortress grew increasingly uneasy.

Yes, Chen Fan is very good to them, but what about these people? If any conflicts break out later, Chen Fan should stand on their side, right?

After all, this is only human nature; if they were in their shoes, they would have done the same.

In fact, Chen Fan also witnessed this scene.

It's unavoidable; both sides need time to adjust and work things out. We can only take it one step at a time.

The large trucks were very efficient; they transported all the people and their luggage from Chenjiazhai over in just one morning.

The process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

Of course, this is just the beginning; the next step is to allocate housing.

Fortunately, Wu Guang and his group knew the entire village like the back of their hand, and under their guidance, they got everything sorted out in less than two hours.

Chen Fan arrived at the villa with his family.

They were all stunned when they saw the magnificent building.

Chen Guodong opened his mouth wide, turned to look at Chen Fan, and said, "Xiao Fan, this, this is where we'll be staying from now on?"

Yin Fang and Chen Chen also looked over, and judging from their expressions, they couldn't believe their eyes.

"yes."

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated.

"This, this is too big."

Chen Guodong didn't know what to say.

Such a big house is something even he couldn't live in ten years ago, let alone now.

"Dad, Mom, don't just stand there, let's go inside and take a look."

Chen Fan smiled; he could already imagine how his parents would react after they went inside.

Sure enough, as soon as the three of them entered, a chorus of exclamations erupted from inside the room.

Once inside the basement, the three of them seemed to have lost their souls, sitting on the chairs in the living room for quite a while before they came to their senses.

"Xiao Fan, am I...am I dreaming?" Yin Fang asked, looking at Chen Fan.

Such a big house, with electricity inside, and so many resources in the basement—this scene has only ever appeared in my dreams.

"Mom, don't worry, it's not a dream."

Chen Fan answered in a very affirmative tone.

"Brother, can we really live in such a nice house?"

Chen Chen said nervously.

"Why not?" Chen Fan smiled and patted his head. "There are so many rooms here, you can stay in whichever one you want."

"Xiao Fan,"

Chen Guodong hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Dad, it's just a house. If we don't live here, who do you think will? Wouldn't it be a waste if no one lived here?"

Chen Fan countered with a question.

"Too."

Chen Guodong nodded.

He felt a little embarrassed, since everyone else lived in ordinary houses, while his own house was so big and in such good condition.

"Dad, instead of worrying about this, I think you should consider how to ensure that the people in our village can live peacefully with the local inhabitants."

Chen Guodong paused for a moment, then frowned. If this problem wasn't handled properly, the consequences would be dire.

"As for the construction of the village, we don't lack manpower right now. It wasn't wrong of Zhao Da and the others to have people expand the walls and reclaim more land. What was wrong was not treating people like human beings."

The hunting party can also be supplemented with more people, and additional guards can be assigned to protect the village.

Chen Fan blurted out all his thoughts.

Sure enough, Chen Guodong immediately lost interest in thinking about the house and instead frowned with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Chen Fan apologized in his heart.

He needs a lot of time to practice martial arts and simply doesn't have the energy to manage these things. However, after what happened yesterday, it should be much easier for Father to manage this place.

After a hearty lunch, Chen Fan rested for a while, chatted with his mother, and then headed to the training ground.

The space here is more than ten times larger than the open space in front of Chenjiazhai warehouse. Some people have already arrived and greeted Chen Fan warmly.

Chen Fan then found Zhang Ren.

The latter seemed to have just finished cooking and was about to eat when he saw Chen Fan arrive. He tapped his bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Want a bowl?"

"I've already eaten." Chen Fan said, both amused and exasperated, "Uncle Zhang, I think you should move in with us."

Upon hearing this, the latter smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need, I'm still more used to living next to the warehouse."

"..."

Chen Fan was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Ren chuckled and asked, "How did things go yesterday? Were any ill-intentioned people trying to cause trouble?"

"There are more than a dozen."

Chen Fan gave a general account of what had happened.

Zhang Ren nodded repeatedly as he listened, and then said:

"Now that you mention it, the people you picked out performed quite well?"

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded. "So, I think it would be better to let a few of them come and practice martial arts as well. As for the others, let's not rush it. Let's see what their character is like before making a decision."

"Let's do it your way."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Zhang, actually something not so good happened last night..."

Chen Fan smiled wryly and recounted what happened next.

"There are actually people who know about this?"

Sure enough, Zhang Ren's reaction after hearing this was also very strong.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, and the water here is deeper than we thought."

Chen Fan pulled a notebook out of his pocket. "This is the diary I found on the bandit leader. According to his records, Guan Dexi, who is also the deputy captain of Songjiabao, is the mastermind behind this band of bandits."

He wasn't worried that Zhang Ren would find out about the items in the space above.

Firstly, even if the latter finds out, they won't have any ulterior motives. Secondly, they might even get some valuable information.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren's eyes narrowed immediately.

This isn't really a secret, it's just that it can't be made public.

"Uncle Zhang," Chen Fan looked at him and said, "Judging from what that person said, the Guan family seems to hold a special position in Anshan City?"

"It's extraordinary."

Zhang Ren said, "There are actually quite a few Awakened in Anshan City, but there are only a few C-level Awakened. The Awakened one from the Guan family is one of them. I heard that his ability is somewhat special."

As he spoke, his expression became serious.

"Is it somewhat special?"

Chen Fan asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Mind control."

Zhang Ren put down his chopsticks and slowly said.

Chen Fan was taken aback.

Mind control?

This ability does seem quite special, doesn't it?

"I told you before that it's very difficult for martial artists to contend with awakened individuals. No matter which type they encounter, it's extremely troublesome, especially this kind of mind control, which is even more terrifying."

Zhang Ren gave a bitter smile. "Don't even mention me. Those are martial artists who are even more powerful than me. Once their minds are controlled by such guys, at best we won't be able to move, at worst we'll be completely out of control. They can even make us commit suicide at their whim."

"Oh, speaking of which, I just remembered that in Anshan City, there are several martial artists at the Entry-Level Realm who have been completely controlled by him. Those people obey him from the bottom of their hearts and would die for him without hesitation."

Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask:

"Is it because our martial arts practitioners' mental strength is too low?"

"It should be."

Zhang Ren nodded and sighed softly.

In fact, all martial artists who can reach the level of "entering the realm of internal strength" are mature in mind and have unwavering perseverance.

Even so, he couldn't hold out for long against that person; it was a complete and utter crushing defeat.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon closer examination, apart from the difference in mental strength, there is no other suitable reason.

Whether you're a martial artist or an ordinary person, it's far more difficult to improve your mental strength compared to an awakened individual.

However, if that's the case, he doesn't need to worry too much. Of course, just in case, he should raise the Moon Gazing Technique to the perfect level as soon as possible, which would also improve his mental defense.

"Uncle Zhang,"

Something occurred to him, and he asked, "Can this awakened individual with mind control abilities control the ferocious beast?"

Zhang Ren was taken aback and looked at Chen Fan.

"It seems not."

He thought back carefully and realized that there had been many incidents of ferocious beasts besieging the city when he was in Anshan City.

The Awakened One was also present, but he didn't seem to be able to control the ferocious beasts attacking the city. Instead, he had the warriors he controlled stand in front of him.

"so."

Chen Fan nodded. It seemed that guy could only control people.

"Xiao Fan, this matter is probably a bit tricky."

Zhang Ren frowned and said, "This guy surnamed Guan De should only be at the Body Refining Realm. Getting rid of him won't be difficult, but it will be troublesome once the Awakened One behind him finds out."
