After dealing with these three sea overlords, the sea creatures sent from the three sea regions were leaderless. Without their backbone, they either fled or simply surrendered... while some resisted stubbornly and were killed.

But in any case...

Dawn Club has won this time.

Three days later.

The conference hall at Tianlei Mountain.

Everyone gathered together, including Meng Wu, who had also returned.

Eric said in a low voice, "President, since you have killed the sea monster overlords of the three major sea areas of the Arabian Sea, Bering Sea and Tasman Sea, their subordinates must be in chaos now. Perhaps we can take them into our fold."

"Absolutely not."

Meng Wu shook his head: "The reason why our Dawn Society is being besieged by the three major sea areas, and even targeted by top experts like Dors, is obviously because they value the threat level of the Dawn Society. I think everyone understands the principle that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

“We have already gone through a massive battle, there is no need to launch another attack... and to launch a three-pronged attack would be even more dangerous... I think we should focus on recuperation.”

"But it would be such a waste to miss such a good opportunity."

Philip and Moen also offered their suggestions.

Their contribution this time wasn't significant, but if they could occupy the other three major sea areas, it would definitely impress the guild leader.

However, some people do not recommend launching an attack.

Opinions differed, so Zhang Hao replied, "Meng Wu's words make sense, but the three sea areas are not so easy to take over... Our current base is already large enough, and we can't take over any more at least for now."

"in addition……"

"The Deep Sea is not as simple as everyone imagines. Although the three major sea areas are leaderless... the Deep Sea is not without powerful level nine sea creatures. They will not sit idly by and watch us divide up the three major sea areas."

"The Dawn Society's power is already quite large, but the proportion of humans is far too small. If people were to tell others, they would think we are a sea creature. Therefore, our primary goal now should be to focus on the land."

"Focusing on the remaining humans, we will spare no village, town, county, or city. As long as they are human survivors or organizations... we will immediately send legions to incorporate them. How is the situation progressing in Shanghai and Beijing?"

Fang Ping stepped forward and said, "It went very smoothly. The human organizations in those cities have decided to join our Dawn Society because of the effects of the blood mist on them... Many survivors are seriously ill and there is no cure for them."

"Moreover, there are many mutated organisms of various virus types that cause them even more suffering, so they know that this is their only option."

"Oh? How did you do it?" Zhang Hao asked.

Fang Ping chuckled and said, "It's very simple. The medicine jointly developed by the Ghost Doctor and Xiahou Ming can immunize against most of the viruses of poisonous insects. Among them, the [Blood Mist Vaccine] can greatly suppress the effects of blood mist on awakened individuals."

"The legion has gradually entered those major cities and begun to screen and incorporate them. Before long... the entire southeastern coast will be our Dawn Society's territory."

"Well done. What about the zombies? How did you deal with them?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"Well……"

Fang Ping seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Everyone else was holding their breath, making the atmosphere quite strange.

Zhang Hao pressed, "What happened? Those cities are all big cities, there must be a lot of zombies... But if we cooperate with the sea creatures now, wiping them out should be easy, right? Did something unexpected happen?"

"It wasn't an accident, but..."

Fang Ping said helplessly, "The zombies have all disappeared."

"Gone? What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. When the Legion entered the city the day before yesterday, they found that all the zombies had disappeared... Whether they were mindless zombies or intelligent zombies like the Lantern, they were all gone."

"So many zombies have disappeared?"

Zhang Hao paused for a moment, then frowned: "Even if we were at war with the three major sea areas a few days ago and didn't pay attention to the zombies in the coastal cities, with our Dawn Society's intelligence system, it's impossible that we didn't detect even a trace, right? Meng Wu... you tell me."

"We did find a clue."

Meng Wu said in a low voice, "I deployed mutated rat swarms in those cities, and there were quite a few of them... But unexpectedly, before dawn the day before yesterday, the zombies systematically wiped out all species except their own kind."

"More than 80% of the mutated rats I controlled were killed or injured, but the underground pipes were so complex that the zombies couldn't wipe them all out. A few mutated rats were still left. According to their intelligence gathering, the zombies in many large coastal cities seemed to have detected the crisis in advance... and then withdrew."

"They've all left?"

Zhang Hao refused to believe it: "Where are the zombie kings? You mean... those level eight zombie kings in the big cities, who were fighting amongst themselves, strangely reached a consensus within two or three days and ran away with their zombies?"

"No, the Corpse Kings are not easy to track, so I sent chameleons with strong camouflage abilities. But according to the chameleons' intelligence feedback... as early as the day before yesterday or even earlier, those Corpse Kings all died suddenly."

Meng Wu's expression was somewhat grim: "Then this strange organized operation took place. I don't know the specific reason for the killing, because my chameleon can only be observed from a distance; it will be discovered if it gets too close."

"but……"

"The zombie kings all died at a remarkably consistent time. Some of their high-level zombies fought each other, but the conflict was quickly quelled, and they were most likely wiped out... Only zombies can recognize each other; it is almost impossible for other level nine creatures to control zombies."

"Therefore, I have reason to suspect that a level nine zombie king has appeared."

"..."

These words were spoken.

Everyone present looked much more serious.

Zombies originally posed little threat to the Dawn Society. After all, in terms of sheer numbers, the Dawn Society had long surpassed the total number of zombies along the nearby coast. In terms of top-tier combat power, the Dawn Society's level eight zombies were far stronger than the Zombie King.

But now all the zombie kings in these major cities have died suddenly.

The fact that the other side has the courage to suppress all the zombies under its command in such a short time is something that cannot be solved by force alone.

This unknown level nine zombie is incredibly brave!

Moreover, he is both brave and resourceful.

Now that the blood mist is about to dissipate, the zombies have collectively evolved to level five or above, and are all elite zombies... If a zombie king with strong leadership appears to lead them, the threat of the zombies will greatly increase.

Zhang Hao said with interest, "That's interesting. The fact that all the level-eight zombie kings died suddenly proves that this guy is not weak. In just a few days, he integrated all the zombies in major coastal cities and was able to suppress many high-level zombies, which proves that his strategy is not low and his methods are not bad."

"Back then, it seems that only the One-Eyed Corpse King had such courage and strength. There might be some in the inland areas, but those guys can't come to the mainland coast for the time being. I hope this guy isn't just a showpiece."
