"Blood for blood?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help but sneer.

Too lazy to waste words with him, I stomped my foot.

He charged towards the opponent, lightning flashing in his eyes.

"Idiot human!"

"You can't use the air to dodge, aren't you a sitting duck? Die!"

The moth chieftain sneered.

The black tentacles behind the tail suddenly swelled up.

Then, clumps of purple viscous liquid flowed out, quickly condensing into a poison arrow that shot straight towards Zhang Hao's face.

This human is level eight.

Moreover, he was able to kill so many of his own kind.

It must be incredibly powerful, so it didn't underestimate its opponent and immediately used its trump card.

This move...

An ordinary level eight fighter is certain to die.

However, to everyone's surprise, lightning suddenly burst from Zhang Hao's body, covering his entire body with lightning.

With a soft "pfft!"

The poisoned arrow shattered the moment it touched the target.

The lightning struck them, turning them into gas and dissipating them into the air. In that instant, all the moths were stunned and stood frozen in place.

"How is that possible?"

"My trump card couldn't even break through his defense?"

The moth chieftain's mentality collapsed.

Before he could react, Zhang Hao rushed in front of him.

With his right hand, bolts of lightning coalesced, transforming into a blue sun, and he pierced through the head of the moth chieftain.

Level 8 mutant black-striped gray moth.

He died just like that!

Without the clan leader's support, the moths all retreated without a fight.

With the combined efforts of Zhang Hao, Zhao Wu, and Christine, they killed over a million more Black-striped Gray Moths before finally stopping their pursuit when they could no longer continue.

But having learned this profound lesson, the moths certainly wouldn't dare to attack.

After a short rest.

They got all the members back to the island from the sea.

Meanwhile, the vampire octopus was responsible for collecting the crystal cores that had fallen into the sea, ensuring that none were missed. It took several hours to collect all the crystal cores, and they also took the opportunity to send the remaining supplies back to their base camp.

Zhang Hao asked, "Christine, how many crystal cores are there? Are there many mid- to high-grade crystal cores?"

"Of the 3.25 million crystal cores, there are almost none of them being mid- to high-level crystal cores. Most of them are low-level crystal cores, ranging from level one to level three. Level four, five, and six crystal cores are very rare, and there are only a dozen or so level seven crystal cores."

"normal."

Zhao Wu, standing nearby, was genuinely surprised: "Guild Leader, the mutated creatures are already at level eight? I thought our Dawn Guild was developing fast enough. Is it just a matter of numbers?"

"That's right."

Zhang Hao sighed and said, "That's their greatest confidence, and it's also the biggest advantage of mutated creatures. With their large population and huge base, there are always exceptionally talented individuals who can improve very quickly."

"This is just one type of moth. There are 150,000 species of moths on Earth alone. Some creatures are even more numerous than moths, while humans are far too few... If we don't hurry up and become stronger, we will only be slaughtered in the future."

That was the level 8 black-striped gray moth from earlier.

His combat strength is actually not that strong. If Sun Aotian, Zhao Wu, Ye Tianfan and the others could reach level eight, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger... any one of them could easily beat him up.

The ocean is incredibly rich in resources.

Not only in terms of crystal cores, there is also the pressure of an environment that makes survival difficult, coupled with the large number of mutated organisms and constant competition and killing.

All these factors combined...

This led to the birth of level eight mutated creatures.

It's not that this creature's talent is actually stronger than Zhao Wu's and the others.

However, the threat of mutated creatures remains significant. A long time has passed since the "Extreme Cold," and more and more creatures are mutating... Dawn's 1.5 million people may seem like a lot, but they are still in a very passive position.

It is necessary to break down the whole into smaller parts and differentiate and mutate the organisms.

"President, where are we going now?" Zhao Wu asked.

"Go to Oceania, which is within Australia."

"Where are you going? What are you doing?"

"Gather the kangaroos."

"ah?"

Zhao Wu scratched his head.

I don't quite understand why they would specifically go to Australia to collect kangaroos.

"Avaro, you explain this."

Avaro slowly said, "Australia is a very special country. Before the apocalypse, their national treasure, the kangaroo, was rampant, numbering as many as 60 million. Even after the apocalypse, the meteorite disaster reduced some of them."

"But there are also more than 40 million, of which about 50% are ordinary kangaroos, but the remaining 20 million or so are mutant kangaroos. The leading mutant kangaroos are very intelligent and have formed the Kangaroo Alliance, which is one of the true rulers of Australia."

"And there are only a million awakened people there, and they are all fighting their own battles and are a disorganized mess. Otherwise, why do you think that group of people hasn't come to conquer the Solomon Islands even though they know about the meteorite?"

"It's not that they're afraid of Motordo, it's just that they're too busy."

"..."

Zhao Wu was shocked.

Forty million kangaroos?

Among them are 20 million mutant kangaroos?

This is outrageous!

No wonder the president said that mutated creatures pose a huge threat.

He originally thought that even though there were a lot of black-striped gray moths, they weren't very strong... and that wiping them out a few more times would be enough.

But I only realized it now.

These creatures, in such large numbers, are not just a minority?

If billions of mutated creatures were to besiege Qiongzhou, there would be absolutely no way to resist.

Before Avaro could finish speaking...

Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "And do you simply think that kangaroos are the only species with a large population in Australia?"

Zhao Wu was stunned: "Uh, is there more?"

"Of course, and there are quite a few."

Zhang Hao said in a low voice, "Besides kangaroos, Australia also has the Fino Islands in the southeast, where the coastline is densely covered with seals, which are known locally as 'Seal Islands,' but the number is currently unknown."

"There are also saltwater crocodiles, camels, and wild boars, which are not much fewer than kangaroos, numbering at least 25 million. And you think that's all? There are also more than 100 million toads in the Australian mainland."

"Hundreds of millions of toads are not the first invasive species in Australia. The first species is the rabbit. In 1907, there were as many as 10 billion rabbits in Australia. Fortunately, prevention and control measures were effective, but there are still more than 600 million rabbits left."

"!!!"

More than 20 million wild boars?

Hundreds of millions of toads and 600 million wild rabbits?

What a disaster it would be if they all mutated.

Zhang Hao actually knew this news in his previous life. Australia's population was already small, and the post-apocalyptic awakeners were gradually ostracized by these mutated creatures, some leaving their homeland behind.

Within three years.

Australia has become a stronghold for mutated organisms.

In just a few years, these creatures multiplied rapidly, and the sheer number of mutated beings—a billion in total—made it so that almost no one dared to set foot here.

but……

This is a very good opportunity.
