After clearing out all the loot from the rooms, Ye Lei prepared to collect the most important prize from this adventure—the Chainsaw Killer's Corpse King Crystal Core.

As he stepped into the courtyard, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the undead skeleton, which held a scythe severed in half and looked extremely sad, as if it had lost the most precious thing in its life.

Ye Lei sighed helplessly, took out the Corpse King Crystal Core, opened the points exchange shop, and clicked to enter the weapon page.

The weapons here are dazzling, ranging from ancient cold weapons to modern high-tech firearms; if you can imagine it, you can find it.

Ye Lei typed "sickle" into the search bar, and instantly, various styles of scythes appeared before his eyes. After some filtering and comparison, he finally selected the scythe with the highest score. However, this scythe actually required a full 5,000 points!

However, upon seeing its detailed description, Ye Lei immediately understood why it was so expensive. This scythe was called the Crimson Moon Scythe, and its handle was made of an incredibly strong alloy material, while the curved blade was made of a special alloy material.

This material not only possesses extraordinary hardness but also excellent corrosion resistance, enabling it to maintain superior performance in various harsh combat environments.

Faced with such a near-perfect weapon, Ye Lei did not hesitate to exchange for it. In an instant, a Crimson Moon Scythe, shimmering with silver light, appeared in his hand.

This scythe weighs at least over a hundred pounds. When the undead skeleton saw it, a glimmer of light appeared in its empty eyes. Clearly, this guy does have some discernment.

Ye Lei smiled and handed the Crimson Moon Scythe to it. The Undead Skeleton was overjoyed and even danced with excitement. Although this weapon, which weighed over a hundred pounds, was difficult for ordinary people to handle, it was as light as a child's toy in its hands.

It was time to leave. Ye Lei led the group toward the gate. When they reached the castle gate, Ye Lei couldn't help but look back. This castle, which had stood for hundreds of years, was now completely abandoned.

As soon as Ye Lei stepped out of the castle, the system's voice echoed in his mind:

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the exploration mission. You are rewarded with points.]

"yeah!"

Ye Lei clenched his fist hard. Despite the many dangers of the trip, it was all worth it.

"Brother Lei, what's up? You seem so excited."

After seeing this, Bena asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a little unexpected bonus!"

"Hehe... Haven't you had enough unexpected gains already?"

"How can we survive without a harvest? How can we support you?"

"Hehe...that's true, Brother Lei, you've worked hard. So where are we going now?"

"Brother Lei, thank you for letting me kill my enemy and avenge my father's blood feud. My father can finally rest in peace."

A simple "You've worked hard" or "Thank you" made Ye Lei feel that it was all worthwhile.

"Let's go to the stadium shelter first. Xia Yuhe needs to stay with your mother, right?"

"Yes, I also want to spend some time with my mom!"

"Let's go!"

The group boarded a luxury Mercedes SUV and sped towards the stadium shelter with the roar of the engine.

As Ye Lei parked his car and stepped into the stadium gate, he was astonished to see that, under the scorching sun, Vice Mayor Ouyang and a group of people, holding parasols, stood quietly at the entrance.

Although everyone was drenched in sweat, no one uttered a sound. The soldiers in the shelter were busy maintaining order. Ye Lei wondered to himself, "Could it be that an important leader is about to arrive?"

He turned his gaze to Vice Mayor Ouyang, a slight smile playing on his lips as he nodded in acknowledgment. Vice Mayor Ouyang returned the smile with a slight smile as well. The two understood each other perfectly, knowing that they had successfully completed the task entrusted to them by Vice Mayor Ouyang.

Afterwards, Ye Lei arranged for Xia Yuhe to enter the shelter to find her mother, while he stood aside, determined to find out who this leader was, that he could make so many people wait silently under the unbearable heat of the sun.

Soon, a high-end military off-road vehicle slowly drove up to the entrance of the shelter and stopped.

As the car door opened, a soldier in a pristine white uniform appeared before everyone. He was tall and upright, standing straight like a pine tree, with a solemn and dignified expression, firm and deep eyes, and a resolute and courageous face.

Judging from the rank insignia on his shoulder, he was a major general! It turned out that a general had come to this place in person. No wonder even Vice Mayor Ouyang came out to greet him personally.

The general strode forward with steady and powerful steps, each step exuding extraordinary majesty and unquestionable leadership. His calm aura inspired awe in all who beheld him. Vice Mayor Ouyang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with the general, and then they entered the shelter together.

The person following closely behind the general caught Ye Lei's attention; it was none other than the major he had encountered several times before! Clearly, the major had not noticed Ye Lei's presence.

Walking alongside the major was a dashing female captain, dressed in a well-tailored, streamlined military uniform that perfectly showcased her graceful figure. The fact that she was able to follow behind the general suggests that the relationship between the three must be extraordinary.

Ye Lei was also deeply impressed by the general's imposing presence. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Truly worthy of being soldiers of China! No matter where they are, they always exude a powerful aura that shakes the entire scene!"

At that moment, Ye Lei truly felt the perseverance, courage, and fearlessness emanating from the soldiers.

The brief but enthusiastic welcoming ceremony quickly came to an end, and the soldiers and police officers who maintained order at the scene also withdrew from the scene in an orderly manner. The once noisy square gradually returned to calm. Just then, Police Chief Bei Tianrui walked steadily toward Ye Lei and his daughter Bei Anna.

"Hello, Uncle Bei!"

"dad!"

Ye Lei and Bei Anna greeted Bei Tianrui warmly as they saw him approaching.

"I heard from Vice Mayor Ouyang that you went to the Scavengers' Alliance. How did it go? The police I sent were all turned back. I was just about to go check on them when the General arrived, so I couldn't leave!"

"We've cleared that area out completely. You can send the police to clean up the mess!"

Ye Lei said it casually.

"I told you it was the right thing to recommend you to Vice Mayor Ouyang. Are you all alright?"

We're all fine!

"Director Xia can finally rest in peace. He has avenged his deep-seated hatred!"

"Uncle Bei, things are actually far more complicated than you think!"

"Oh, what happened?"

Ye Lei recounted the story of the scavenger tribe in detail. After listening, Bei Tianrui frowned deeply, realizing that this was only the beginning.
