Qiongzhou Island.

Central area, Zelda base.

A young man sat on a high rooftop, holding a cup of iced coffee, slowly savoring its bitter taste.

Beside him.

A young man with a buzz cut was standing there.

He was meticulous and never uttered a word.

Yuwen Tuo suddenly asked, "The extreme cold is over, and summer is here again. It's a pity that natural disasters keep happening. Who would have thought there would be a meteorite? Our Qiongzhou Island, including Zelda, has suffered considerable losses. UAE... do you think there is any hope for humanity?"

Yi Jianlian said firmly, "As long as we have Big Brother leading the way, I believe humanity can win. We have already cleared out most of the zombies on Qiongzhou Island. All we need to do is free up our hands to clear out the marine life nearby."

"We'll be able to integrate all the organizations on Qiongzhou Island very quickly. With millions of awakened individuals, I refuse to believe we can't establish ourselves in this apocalypse."

"That's what they say, but I still feel like something's not quite right."

Yuwen Tuo frowned and said, "I heard that there was a period when more than a million marine creatures landed on the coastline of the Leizhou Peninsula? But they were all wiped out by the Dawn Society? Do you remember this?"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Yi Jianlian's eyes: "I remember, at first everyone thought it was fake, but after careful investigation, we found that... the Dawn Society did indeed do it, and at that time the Dawn Society's strength was far less than it is now."

"Although I don't know exactly how many of them there are right now, based on the intelligence we have from the Zelda intelligence department, the Dawn Society's overall strength should far exceed ours."

"This organization is not simple; we need to pay attention to it."

Yuwentuo's eyes became hesitant: "It is certainly necessary to pay attention to this, but what I am worried about is that if marine life can land once, it can land a second time. I don't think Qiongzhou will be spared."

"I'm thinking about it..."

"Is it better to take advantage of the next marine life landing to integrate all the organizations in Qiongzhou, or to start laying the groundwork now? The former is definitely easier, while the latter will be more time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"If we start annexing other organizations now, Zelda's brothers will likely suffer casualties as well. That's what's troubling me the most. What suggestions do you have?"

After a moment of contemplation, A-Lian said, "Brother, I think we must start the integration as soon as possible. Dawn will be eyeing us covetously... They won't give up this lucrative piece of land, Qiongzhou. If Zhang Hao really gets involved, it will be very troublesome."

Yuwen Tuo said, "But have you considered that if I start integrating and weakening Zelda now, wouldn't that play right into the hands of the Dawn Society? They might defeat us all without lifting a finger."

"How... is that possible? Well, it is indeed possible."

Yi Jianlian originally wanted to refute.

But then he thought of the news he'd heard a few days ago: Zhang Hao had gone to Annam and apparently brought back a large number of mutated creatures.

The number of those organisms is at least more than 100,000.

Because there are so many of them, it's impossible to hide them. Basically, most people in Qiongzhou know a thing or two about them.

But Ah Lian couldn't understand: "Brother, but why? With so many mutated creatures, why would they serve the Dawn Society? Our organization isn't without beast tamers, but even if there are two or three thousand of them, the number of mutated creatures we can use is at most ten thousand."

"Why are there so many of them? Do they have tens of thousands of beast tamers? That can't be possible, right?"

Yuwen Tuo pondered to himself, "Tens of thousands of beast tamers is unlikely. Beast tamers aren't exactly common. Perhaps... the mutated creatures reached some kind of agreement with them? But that's not the point..."

The key question is, what exactly should be done?

He was worried that Dawn would intervene.

On the one hand, they worry that starting to absorb other organizations now would give the Dawn Society an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. But if they do nothing... then when the Dawn Society goes all out, they'll be finished.

Now we're stuck in a vicious cycle.

Just as he frowned in thought.

Suddenly, Yi Jianlian's eyes sharpened as he scanned the railing on the rooftop.

"Who goes there?!"

"Dare to infiltrate my Zelda base? Are you courting death?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

He raised his hand and threw a throwing knife.

call out!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

The throwing knife struck the railing squarely.

But it didn't hit. A transparent chameleon slowly appeared, its long tongue darting out.

But it did not attack Yuwen Tuo.

Instead, after placing an invitation on the coffee table next to it, the chameleon flicked its tail and prepared to leave.

"You think you can just come and go as you please? Do you really think I, Yuwen Tuo, am invisible?"

"Stay here!"

Yuwen Tuo remained calm.

With a flick of his wrist, beams of dazzling light shot out.

It transformed into a cage of light, attempting to trap the opponent. Its speed far exceeded that of most level six awakened beings. If the level five chameleon were to be hit by this cage of light, it would be severely injured, if not killed.

Yuwen Tuo was very confident.

Although he is currently a Level 6 Awakener, his special ability is light-based.

The power of the light element is unmatched by ordinary people. In terms of speed, even assassins who are skilled in speed cannot compare. And when the speed reaches a certain limit... it means power. Ordinary level six people are no match for him.

Not to mention a level 5 mutated creature.

At the critical moment!

A golden blade of light shot through the air.

Bang!!

The air suddenly vibrated violently.

The dazzling light made it impossible for Yi Jianlian to open his eyes.

The cage of light and the blade of light collapsed almost simultaneously. Taking advantage of the moment when the two sides clashed, the chameleon disappeared from the spot.

but……

That person did not leave.

Instead, she revealed her stunning beauty, with long black hair and a white dress, standing on the railing like a fairy.

"A Light-type Awakener?!"

Yuwen Tuo's pupils constricted: "And you're also Level Six? Who exactly are you? Which organization are you the leader of? What is your purpose in coming to Zelda?"

The stunningly beautiful woman brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and gave a charming smile: "I'm not some kind of leader. Since you don't know me... let me introduce myself. I am Xu Mengyan, the leader of the Dawn Society - Light Legion."

"Our president admires your character and hopes to meet with you alone. The invitation is on the coffee table... You'll understand once you see it. If Chameleon has offended you, please forgive me. Goodbye."
