Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 454: Chapter 61: Independents Mutual Aid Federation (Additional rewards for TYeon)_1

Not a single person left.

In fact, many people had a general understanding of Wen Yu’s purpose for establishing this organization before they came. However, when Wen Yu spoke the word ”freedom,” it undoubtedly touched everyone’s hearts. No one wants to be constrained, no one wants to be another’s weapon. Those who could come here were all undoubtedly free-spirited professionists, unwilling to be tied down. Their choice was self-evident.

Seeing this, Wen Yu gently nodded. In essence, he was a person who disliked constraints and did as he pleased. Weren’t these traits, too, a manifestation of freedom? Yet, the price of pursuing freedom was high—the most striking example being that those who seek freedom are often lonely. Few people could break free from the net woven by morality, law, and conventional societal values. Now, Wen Yu had finally found a group of like-minded individuals.

So, he made his announcement.

”I declare that starting today, the Independents Mutual Aid Federation is officially established!”

Gently raising his hand to quiet the applause from below, Wen Yu looked around at everyone and began to speak slowly.

”First, I will outline the objectives of this organization and its future direction.”

As he looked at the crowd below, their gazes fixed on him, Wen Yu, for the first time, felt none of his usual restlessness or caution. Instead, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction washed over him—the satisfaction that came from others acknowledging his strength.

After briefly collecting his thoughts, Wen Yu continued, ”As I just said, the purpose of establishing this organization is freedom. However, the word ’freedom’ itself is too vague, too idealistic. Therefore, freedom can only be our ultimate goal. To achieve this, we need to break down the path leading to it.”

”First, let’s examine who our opponents and potential threats are.”

Wen Yu gave Wang Fucai a meaningful look. The old Taoist immediately stepped forward as planned and passionately recounted to everyone present the intelligence Wen Yu possessed regarding the Dominator, the Demon Tribe, and even the military. Of course, more detailed and confidential matters could not be disclosed. Wang Fucai’s task was simply to convey the general information, and that was sufficient.

This was also one of Wen Yu’s objectives: to ensure the flow of intelligence within the organization. In truth, many of the Sequences below already knew most of what the old Taoist had said. However, there were always things they were unaware of—and Wen Yu certainly knew far more than they did.

When the old Taoist finished, Wen Yu spoke again. ”The purpose of sharing this is to make it clear that the threats to our freedom come not only from the military but also from the Demon Tribe and the Dominator. Naturally, I will not compel anyone here to fight the Demon Tribe and the Dominator to the death. In fact, our organization is essentially a mutual aid group, and for now, our greatest threat remains the military.”

”What Wang Fucai just shared can be considered a small welcome gift from me for joining the Independents Mutual Aid Federation.”

”Now, I would like to announce the three rules of our Independents Mutual Aid Federation!”

”First: Within the Independents Mutual Aid Federation, all members are equal. There is no hierarchy.”

”Second: Within the Independents Mutual Aid Federation, no one bears responsibility or obligation for another. This means that if you wish to receive help from the Independents Mutual Aid Federation, you must offer something in return—a price must be paid.”

”Third: Given that the greatest current threat to the Independents Mutual Aid Federation comes from the military, should the military use coercive force to harm us or attempt to control us against our will, all members of the Independents Mutual Aid Federation must unconditionally stand against the military.”

”We do not seek trouble, nor do we aim to rule this world. However, we are not afraid of it either!”

”I, Sequence Number 2, Wen Yu, hereby guarantee to all of you: if any member is persecuted or threatened by the military, I will ensure the military pays the price!”
