Li Jian gritted his teeth at this mont but couldn’t say a word.
Imdiately, Wen Dong turned his gaze toward a young man deep in thought and said,
"Chairman Zhou, the core personnel we can gather from the Night Patrol Team and the City Defense Camp are all here. Although the number isn’t large, the strength and equipnt are top-notch."
The young man had a handso face and retained a neural interface at the back of his head. Although his body emanated powerful superpower waves, his life aura seed sowhat chaotic. This person was none other than Zhou Mingyuan, who had transford his body using fungal threads.
After finishing, Wen Dong glanced at a frozen chamber at the back of the carriage. Out of caution, Zhou Mingyuan even brought his original body along.
Seeing the middle-aged politician in the frozen chamber, Wen Dong rely sneered inwardly. Both he and Li Jian knew that although the body Zhou Mingyuan transford into exhibited Angel Level peak superpower, it fundantally wouldn’t survive more than a month. By then, all the personnel and resources organized by this convoy would naturally fall into the Wen Family’s hands, providing them a foundation to possibly turn the tables.
However, Wen Dong had no heart to think ahead. The urgent task was escaping Dawn City, which was about to face destruction!
"Okay."
Zhou Mingyuan nodded, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes: "It’s just external possessions."
"Speed up. We must reach Qingbo before nightfall; there are many convoys there, and we can rge so of them."
"rge?" The bemused Li Jian mumbled, "What if they’re unwilling?"
Zhou Mingyuan chuckled lightly, "Young man, as the ancients said, regardless of how the world changes, all thods stem from the sa principle. Power is the foundation of authority, which paves the way for everything. When you have absolute power, are you still afraid of not being able to forge a throne of power?"
He finished and slowly clenched his fist, sensing a powerful superpower wave. The shadow on his face faded slightly, replaced by a sense of ease.
Li Jian slightly frowned upon hearing this, and nodded in agreent.
"That’s right, but the Phoenix Society’s global broadcast made it seem so serious; I wonder if it’s true." Li Jian showed so concern: "If we lose this battle, will there really be no dawn?"
"Hmph."
Zhou Mingyuan sneered dismissively, "Politicians’ words are just for listening."
After speaking, a hint of coldness flickered in his eyes: "If it weren’t for Chu Zhaonan’s maneuvers, Dawn City could at least hold a population of tens of millions."
"What’s the use of more population?"
Li Jian looked puzzled, "If devoured by Star Abyss, it’s over anyway."
"You don’t understand. The larger the scale, the more resources available. Research on darkness infestation and human superpowers has rapidly advanced in a short ti. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will go straight..." Wen Dong sneered, "Anyhow, in the end, so people will survive. Why can’t it be us?"
"Your uncle is right." Zhou Mingyuan said defiantly, "The Phoenix Society is just a doomsday organization that rises with populism. Their slogans claim to be for human civilization, for the world, but they’re setups to overturn the Federation’s power, ha! They even rallied those who’ve fled to return and die, what a joke!"
Wen Dong nodded and communicated to the convoy,
"Accelerate fully; we must reach Qingbo City within 3 hours!"
...
Dawn City, Star City Orbital Station.
Jian Xuwei and Monica led a team of heavy firepower personnel to reinforce the defenses of the Star City Orbital Station.
Monica stood on the deck of the Sky Do Train, gazing at the sky, her beautiful face slightly furrowed.
The sky was densely overcast; though only afternoon at 3 o’clock, it was already ominously dark, as if night had prematurely descended.
"The timing of nightfall is unpredictable. Looking at this, anomalous bodies could appear any mont."
Jian Xuwei listened to the voice in her earpiece and said gravely, "We’ve done all we can; now we can only give it our all."
High up, Jiang Yun overlooked the dense defensive lines being constructed below in the Old District, rain-soaked crowds bustling. From the perspective of an S-Class monster, humans seed like ants.
Ren Huixian hovered beside him, observing his serious expression, and spoke,
"It’s rare to see you so tense."
"More than three million people... perhaps lost in a single night." Jiang Yun looked toward the distant horizon, where black clouds and rain curtains hung upside down, without any firelight or convoy in sight.
No one ca to aid, no one returned to Dawn City.
At this mont, Dawn City was like a lone boat under the black sky curtain.
To the west and south, the sky was terrifyingly dark, as if a black world akin to an abyss slowly approached behind the rain curtain.
Under Qilian Mountain, in the forest, the ground was dotted with rain hitting the dry grass and barren land; the forest seed utterly quiet except for the sound of rain.
Yet as the sky grew darker, so bizarre silhouettes suddenly appeared and vanished, leaving footprints without continuity, quickly disappearing.
In the forest, on the plains, along small town streets, highways, fields, and hills, such anomalies seed to begin appearing.
Above Wall Number 1, the frontline commander saw the outer city district grow increasingly dark and imdiately picked up the communicator to shout.
"Attention, attention, the situation is unusual, Extre Night may be approaching. All fire control units, activate!"
